Hello I am in the process of converting a simplepress forum to bbpress.
The first issues I have noticed is that the date and time of some posts is not being carried over and is defaulting to the time of the conversion. However this is not on all post, only a percentage, approximately 860 topics of a total 5029. One thing I have noticed is that all the topics witout updated date/times do not have any responses to the original post, although there are posts with correct date/times that have no responses if that makes sense.
I have run all the repair functions and the only one I am having trouble with is “Recalculate the position of each reply” which seems to stop (timeout?) and go to a white page.
Any insight as to what may be going on?
bbpress uses wordpress registration and assigns the default role set in settings>forums upon first user login.
so any wordpress registration will work
bbpress has a shortcodes
[bbp-login] – Display the login screen.
[bbp-register] – Display the register screen.
or you can use sidebar widgets also
On our bbPress (2.5.7) admins don’t get an email notification if a new post is added, but do get a notification if a reply is posted. Is this default behavior?
If yes, do I need a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify/ or https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notifications/ to handle this?
If no, what could be wrong on our install?
Besides bbPress we use the plugins “bbP Members Only” and “GD bbPress Attachments”.
Hey Guys,
I have the latest WordPress 4.1.2 and bbPress 2.5.7 and I’m having a problem where when I search for a user in the admin of WordPress and try and either bulk edit the user or click on the User Profile link and I get redirected to the home page.
I have narrowed it down to a conflict with the Groups plugin 1.5.1 and I’m wondering if anyone else has found this?
Other points:
– User links work to edit the profile or bulk edit if you DON’T search but we can’t do this as our user db is 1,400 odd people and it takes too long
– I’ve tried changing to the default theme and deactivating all plugins and it still happens
– I have tried installing bbPress 2.5.7 and Groups 1.5.1 on a fresh install of WordPress and got the same results with a user database of 2 people.
It only happens when you search… If I remove the wp_http_referrer information from the User Edit Profile link the link works… There’s some weird conflict going on with the referrer in the link…
Any help greatly appreciated by all!
Hi Guys,
Did anyone get a solution to this problem? I’m experiencing a very similar thing with
Wordpress v4.1.2
BBPress v2.5.7
I’ve tried deactivating all plugins and going to the default theme but clicking on usernames in the admin when trying to edit a profile is taking me to the home page… Just wondering if there was a solution it might help me too!
did you create a custom widget?? it might be better if you did for this because then you could output all of the links to the user profile.
unfortunately not, as i’m using a plugin (jquery-vertical-accordion-menu) for the accordion/dropdown menu widget for that menu, which makes it more complicate, i guess. does the
$id_base = 'dc_jqaccordion_widget';
help with this and if where and what else to put in the code for a custom widget that’s using the accordion/dropdown menu as well?
initially hoped that making a redirect via permalink in functions.php or via page template would be the fastest and easiest solution. am i totally wrong with this?
as i’m not familiar with coding, i see a high risk of having set wrong variables all the time. i’m using default bbpress setting with a nicername/username instead of user’s id in the permalink.
my latest post disappeared, maybe because of too many links.
probably
the default menu below the avatar shall be removed and appear in the sidebar on the right in a dropdown menu ( not only to make a consistent layout but also to prevent users to see the information also on other user profiles).

@vinzen
you can create a new widget based off of the default recent topics widget and customize it to your liking. or you can edit this
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-advanced-recent-topics-widget/
and add the topic tag thing you want.
@robkk, thanks again for your support. my latest post disappeared, maybe because of too many links.
regarding the new menu, i hope this image can explain it better:
the default menu below the avatar shall be removed and appear in the sidebar on the right in a dropdown menu ( not only to make a consistent layout but also to prevent users to see the information also on other user profiles). Optimally it should be shown only when the user is logged in, but yet i’d be very happy to get it working no matter of the user’s login status.
unfortunately i can’t provide a link at the moment, so i put the id’s at the image.
parent menu items are “nachrichten” and “account”.
in “account” the links for the user profiles shall be displayed as sub menus.
the parent menu-code looks like this:
<li id="menu-item-566" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page cur…ancestor menu-item-has-children menu-item-566 dcjq-parent-li">
the sub menu show profile-code like this:
<li id="menu-item-572" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-572"></li>
(for “edit profile” I already found a menu-link solution)
[btw: default theme twenty twelve]
well you can have wordpress at the root of your whole site and not just have it in a folder.
if you do that all you would have to do is create a seperate blog page and a static home page.
your blog page would show all your recent posts like it would by default.
if you install bbPress while WordPress is not in a subfolder , by default the forum archive url will be yoursite.com/forums but you could change the forum slug to ‘forum’ or remove the ‘forums’ slug because your url will look like yoursite.com/forum/forum/forum-name instead of the default yoursite.com/forums/forum/forum-name.
Does that work out for you?? or is there a specific reason you want wordpress to be in a blog folder.
@project_subdomain
well there is a way for the link to be displayed on a specific menu.
you could link to site and see if i could find your menus ID to only show it there.
I’d like to replace the default display of options below the avatar which I’d remove then.
explain a little bit more on what exactly you want here.
@marjons
However, the auto mentions only work from the text tab (not the visual), is this a bug?
i think the functionality to make the script work for the TinyMCE visual editor is not possible now. You see that we are basically just borrowing the script from BuddyPress to work for bbPress forums , and also that neither bbPress and BuddyPress have the visual editor in their default installations without some plugins or functions added.
It is possible to make it work for TInyMCE though, you would probably have to use some of the code of this auto-complete plugin for TinyMCE.
https://github.com/abrimo/TinyMCE-Autocomplete-Plugin
If you want to develop some custom functionality to make it work for your client ,only thing i can suggest is look over how this plugin is developed and see how they make it work for TinyMCE and of course add on to the script from the BuddyPress plugin.
wordpress.org/plugins/mentionable/
Other than that maybe decide to disable the visual editor for bbPress to make it work fine.
Also, it seems that some users get a notification, but some are not.
If you are talking about the notifications users get when @mentioned , then go to the BuddyPress Support forums for help on this.

Hello!
I’ve been reading all the topics on the forum and i found many similar issues to my problem, but now solution worked. I disabled all plugins and tried it with default theme also.
When someone subscribes(or creates a topic) to a topic or forum and then someone replys to it, no emails are being sent out to the guy who subscribed. Im using buddypress and bbpress newest version, and buddypress emails-like register, private message etc working, but noone of bbpress related emails are being sent out. I’m using WP SMTP now(before i was using WP MAIL SMTP, but then someone in this forum said if he changed to WP SMTP plugin it started sending, but didnt help for me), and test emails are being sent correctly also.(without any smtp plugin it doesnt work also)
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Daniel
see
bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php
I got it !
sometimes, Apache exited with higher Status number example :
[Sat Apr 18 00:02:05.423769 2015] [mpm_winnt:notice] [pid 5900:tid 404] AH00428: Parent: child process 5032 exited with status 3221225725 — Restarting.
Google gave me a hint : write this code in your httpd.conf (that’s for Windows)
<IfModule mpm_winnt_module>
ThreadStackSize 8888888
</IfModule>
It works now, like a charm 🙂
explanation : the stackSize in Windows is defaulted at 1MB, and it seems that bbPress Import need much more…. This line push the limit to more than 8MB. That’s all.
WAMP does NOT show this mpm_winnt_module in the list of loaded modules, I guess it is because it’s a default Apache Windows module ( http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mpm_winnt.html )
Ah, I put first only the line “ThreadStackSize 8888888” (without ifModule) to be sure that it is taken into account. If the module was not mounted, Apache would have wrote it in apache_error.log. It should work on every windows normal installation
thanks robkk!
now the profile link is in the main and also in my sidebar menu.
unfortunately i’d need to have it in the sidebar menu only. also i’d need a link to the single profile pages as I’d like to replace the default display of options below the avatar which I’d remove then.
which amendments of that code would do that?
create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original, so you can amend this one
yes you would just put that code in form-topic.php
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php
create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-topic.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
you can then look at how the form does this, and put the appropriate lines in.
with code anything is possible !
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php

that is entirely intentional – it lets keymasters see IP addresses to spot people who might post under several names.
you could hide it with css
.bbp-reply-ip {
display : none !important ;
}
or amend line 512 of loop-single-reply
create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
then take out line 51 – you may also need to do this to loop-single-topic
or use a filter to get rid of it
function remove_ip () {
$author_ip = '' ;
return $author_ip ;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_author_ip', 'remove_ip');
Thanks, that is very helpful, but it change roles globally. I need it for a specific forum.
- is possible call these actions to an existing role?
- and is possible call them only for a specific forum
I tried this but seems not work…. :/
// BBPRESS ROLES CONFIG FOR SPECIFIC FORUM
if ( bbp_forum_title(); == "My Forum Title" ) {
function add_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role )
{
/* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
if( $role == 'participant' )
$caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
return $caps;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'add_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );
function custom_capabilities( $role )
{
switch ( $role )
{
/* Capabilities for 'tutor' role */
case 'participant':
return array(
// Primary caps
'spectate' => true,
'participate' => true,
'moderate' => false,
'throttle' => false,
'view_trash' => false,
// Forum caps
'publish_forums' => false,

// Topic tag caps
'manage_topic_tags' => false,
'edit_topic_tags' => false,
'delete_topic_tags' => false,

);
break;
default :
return $role;
}
}
}
@Robkk
Sorry, but I disagree. It may be that the theme is not hiding the warning like the default wordpress theme, but the error is definitely coming from the bbpress plugin.
you can configure the noreply email simply with:
add_filter('bbp_get_do_not_reply_address','my_bbp_no_reply_email');
function no_reply_email(){
$email = 'noreply@yourdomain.com';
return $email;
}
bbPress uses BCC for sending subscription emails and the noreply email is used as to field. This is for better hardware (cpu and memory) usage as if you were to loop each user subscribed to content it would be troublesome.
you can change that default to email address as well with :
add_filter('bbp_subscription_to_email','my_bbp_subscription_to_email');
function my_bbp_subscription_to_email(){
$email = 'noreply@yourdomain.com'; // any email you want
return $email;
}
I hope this helps.
