Hello everyone.
Website: Link
WordPress version: 4.9.8
bbPress version: 2.5.14

Despite reading many threads about this, I still couldn’t figure out a way to change the language of the forum to hebrew. I will work you through what I did:

1. Download bbPress.

2. Add all the pages (login, register etc.) to the menu. (since the website is in hebrew, you can the pages find it under the second last menu item).

3. Download the hebrew .po and .mo files and put them in the directory /wp-content/languages/bbpress with the proper name (bbpress-he_IL.po and bbpress-he_IL.mo)

4. Check the websites register and login pages, still in english.

5. Edit “wp-config.php” file and added “define(‘BBLANG’, ‘bbpress_he_IL’);”.

6. Check the websites register and login pages, still in english.

Also things I have tried:
– Putting the .po and .mo files under /wp-content/languages/plugins/.

– Made sure I don’t have a translation update under “Dashboard -> Updates” in wordpress.

Important Note:
The hebrew is not 100% finished, but from this guide I understood that it doesn’t matter as long as I manually override it.

So the bottom line is – I really need help figuring that out. What am I missing?
Thanks for everyone who read and help,
Eitan.

bbpress just us wordpress login, so the issue is probably outside bbpress.

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all and see if this fixes. if it does, start with bbpress and re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

that is the definitive way, but you could start with any plugins that relate to logging in if you have any.

Running WP 4.9.8 and bbPress 2.5.14

Site URL is https://forum.bcyc.org/

I would like to move the only bbPress forum at this URL to another WordPress site (different domain – different URL).

I don’t see an export/import feature in bbPress

Can this be done? If so, please advise on how.

Thanks.

Hi,
I have the WP page http://www.jdmspritturkey.com and the phpbb forum http://www.jdmspiritturkey.com/forum and its all alive for 2 years. I have some problems with the phpbb so i want to import it to bbpress so the portal and the forum will be fully integrated.

If i import to bbpress what will happen to wp portal writings, users etc or is there any strategy with no casulties?

Our wp page version is 4.9.8 and the phpbb is 3.2.2

Thanks for the answers.

Hi,

PHPBB is now on 3.22 . Apparently a bunch of the table columns have changed.

I’m willing to install bbpress 2.6 to see what happens, I have installed a test wordpress site, but I can’t seem to find where to download it.

Any info about converting a 3.22 PHPBB database?

[Robin WModerator]

I’ve done some digging.

This error is generated when a word used is in the blacklist_keys stored by wordpress in wp-options, which is presumably where your moderated words are stored.

[LNAngelParticipant]

Argh, I just tested it with a blocked dummy account and the replies still come through, unfortunately. 🙁

So you’re saying the only thing I should have to do is change the Forum Role within WordPress>Users to “blocked” and this should work, correct?

[Robin WModerator]

simplest way would be to use my bbp style pack plugin

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>freshness display

if you want to edit a file, then ensure you do this to a copy in a bbpress folder in your child theme.

you’ll find the original template you want to alter in

templates/default/bbpress/loop-forums.php

WordPress comes with its own Emoji CSS. You can try disabling it with this plugin:

Disable Emojis (GDPR friendly)

It’s plausible that a theme or plugin change brought this back to life when it was previously disabled somewhere. Hard to say.

[Robin WModerator]

that error suggests that your theme Stockholm and file js/plugins.js is the problem.

So it initially looks like enabling tinymce within bbpress is calling the tinymce or other code within your theme – the bbpress code you are using just turns on the wordpress function.

to prove, try switching as a test to a default theme, such as twentyseventeen and see if the error goes away

[Robin WModerator]

ssv3 looks like it might be a wordpress theme – is this the theme you are using?

[Milan PetrovicParticipant]

You should determinr if the file is indeed malware, and then find where it came from. If you installed plugins only from WordPress.org, they should be safe.

[smartplanhelpParticipant]

I try to only do plugins that “seem” reputable. Stuff that has a strong number of positive reviews with recent updates and can be found under the WordPress list. Again, I am new though, so I still may be naive in thinking that makes them safe.

[Milan PetrovicParticipant]

This file is not part of WordPress, and it looks awful like a malware.

[smartplanhelpParticipant]

I am using the WordPress Twenty Sixteen theme. Does it matter that I did not create a custom theme?
I’m new to WP, so I’m not saying it isn’t my fault. I just figured I should start here.

I believe my site was automatically updated to WordPress 4.9.8 today. I went to
Appearance -> Customize, and I got a 505 Internal Error page. After a bit of
digging, I found that bbpress v 2.5.14, when deactivated, makes this problem go
away. When I enable the plugin again, the problem returns. When Deactivated the
problem goes away again. Everything else seems to work fine except for the Customize under Appearance. Since this is isolated to bbpress, I figured I should notify you.

[Robin WModerator]

my style pack plugin lets you choose this editor

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>topic/reply form and look down to the editors

[Robin WModerator]

rewrite rules
This could be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.

or

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

I’m trying to enable Visual Editor for my forum.
I’m using this code – https://codex.bbpress.org/enable-visual-editor/

However, it doesn’t work for me and i see this errors:

jquery.js?ver=1.12.4:2 Uncaught Error: no such method 'instance' for autocomplete widget instance
...
tinymce.min.js?ver=4711-20180425:2 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'refreshContentEditable' of undefined

My bbPress version is 2.5.14
Wordpress – 4.9.7

Tried to disable all plugins, didn’t help..

I would really prefer that TOPIC publishing/editing be limited to MODERATORS with PARTICIPANTS limited to REPLY publishing/editing etc. This seems like an widely useful adaptation but I don’t see how to do it, either within bbPress or using other plugins such as Members. bbPress 2.5.14, wordpress 4.9.7

Hello, I would like you to help me, I have been testing bbpress because they told me to create a forum for the web of my work and I have a problem. When I create a topic and click on the edit button that brings bbpress, it redirects me to a page that does not exist or that is not activated, I suppose. For example, if the topic is called a test, it redirects me to *** / test / edit / I hope you understand me. Well, edit does not exist … I can edit the topic from dashboard of wordpress but the idea is that users who register and create a debate can edit it …
The same thing happens to me when click on the username that created the topic and when click on merge . Those three links respond to a message from my website (page not found) edit, merge and the user.
I can not show you the web link because it belongs to a private network.
I’ve already tried disabling all the plugins, changing the theme and finally a wordpress mounted on my laptop to test and nothing.
please help

Hi Milan, thanks for that. Funnily enough I’ve just left you a five-star rating on wordpress.org for your polls plugin!

I saw your Thanks feature but am I right in saying it sends a personal message? I’m looking to display a Thanks button by the post which other users can simply click.

I would like to create a forum that is free for all to view but can only be contributed to by registered user of the website. So creating new topics and replying/commenting in the tread is only available to those who are registered. However anyone can read the thread and hopefully its contents will be searchable by google

This is the default.

If you set then forum to public, but ensure that anonymous posting is off

dashboard>settings>forums>anonymous posting

Then all can see, but only registered users can post

bbpress just uses wordpress login, so any wordpress login will work, so logging onto the website also gives access to the forums

Hi all,

I am new to wordpress and I am struggling to set up a forum on my webpage that has the features I want.

I would like to create a forum that is free for all to view but can only be contributed to by registered user of the website. So creating new topics and replying/commenting in the tread is only available to those who are registered. However anyone can read the thread and hopefully its contents will be searchable by google.

I am not sure if I need a specific plugin for this task or if the two I have attempted to do this with are adequate with better knowledge. (bbpress and Discussion Board)

It would also be my preference for the user to log in to the website, rather than just the forum but I would settle for the latter if the former is not easily attainable.

I would really appreciate any info that anyone has on the subject because I am not a web developer! Webpages look so simple before you find out what goes into them.
