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.

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

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

[clutchbasketcbt]

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.

[Robin W]

yes, install my style pack plugin

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>breadcrumbs

and you can change what the root says and where it goes

1. I created a new template file titled discussions-replies and discussions-subscriptions under my WordPress child theme.

2. I placed within discussions-replies the following code:

get_header();

3. I then created two new pages with WordPress under their parent named “Discussions”, one page titled Replies and the other Subscriptions. I then assigned each page to their proper template that I just had created.

4. Now when I load the pages, the code is asking for a current user, however it ignores and shows on Replies all replies made by all users; on Subscriptions it shows that the user has made NO subscriptions, even though they have.

[Robin W]

access wont help.

I am trying to replicate your situation on my test site, where I have tools that do lots of things for me.

So what I need is how you get to make https://obeii.com/discussions/replies/ do what it does.

for instance

create a page called x in wordpress, put this in it
put the template file in folder y called z.php

ie all the steps I need to recreate the issue. I can hopefully fix.

[quigley05]

Hi Robin,

Not quite sure I understand the question. The template names are mentioned within the code I provided and they are located in a page I’ve created in the WordPress backend, not one that is already provided within Buddypress or BBpress.

Would it be at all helpful to receive access to my backend? Hope this was helpful.

[Robin W]

this is a support forum for bbpress which ruins under wordpress, so if you are not wordpress then your thread is irrelevant 🙂

[Robin W]

I cannot say – that would require access to your sites files, database and admin, and I suspect your users PC – and well beyond any free help.

all I can say is that wordpress is used on 74 million sites, and bbpress just uses wordpress logon, nothing more.

[rasmusandesther]

I have queried this in with the WordPress support and as expected they say it is a BBpress issue.

So who is right?

[Robin W]

not directly, but bbpress does call wordpress functions via wp_query, and suspect this is the result of one of those.

[Robin W]

will depend on what exactly you want but this might be what you need

Private groups

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses wordpress login, so at best this is a wordpress issue, so suggest you log it there

Welcome to the WordPress.org support forums

[Robin W]

that’s not what the text you quoted says – she states that it is an old username.

Anyway this is a wordpress not bbpress issue, and is highly likely that it is user pc/browser/cookie/remember me issue.

Wordpress powers 10% of the internet, if this happened then it would be a major security issue for the whole of the internet 🙂

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses wordpress registration, so the question is

Is there any way that we can automatically send a welcome email to the people that have registered using Mailster plugin?

and ask mailster 🙂

[Robin W]

log in is a wordpress issue, bbpress just uses the wordpress login

when you say ‘being logged in as a different user.’ is this logging in as user ‘a’ and getting user ‘b’, or on entering the site being already logged in as user ‘b’.

[Robin W]

easiest way is using my plugin

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>buttons

[mgg1000]

Hi….

Does anyone have experience importing forums from jforum? I’m struggling with how to get the topic/post content which requires 3 tables from jforum. Most of my attempts result in being told that the “from_tablename” and “from_fieldname” result in an “unknown column in ‘field list'”.

Thanks
