before you do that, lets just eliminate theme and plugin.

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

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

If you look at the phpBB importer it has the callback_html and parses a bunch or regular expressions to manipulate the previous BBCode or HTML strings, will that work for you?

Awesome 🙂

Just to add that the standard Drupal forums module for Drupal 7 was included in bbPress 2.5, I’m not sure if there is anything in that that you may not have in your Drupal 6.

Also, two of the importers SMF and phpBB have some cool new things for the upcoming bbPress 2.6, importing favourites, subscriptions, anonymous topics/replies/posts, you may want to have a look there to see if they help in importing more data from Drupal

Hi,
So you have bbPress translated into CZ if I understand correctly ?
If so, would you mind helping with the translation for the whole CZ community ? https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/cs/default/wp-plugins/bbpress

If you are interested, I can guide you on becoming PTE for bbPress, let me know. Then you can import you .po file and everybody can have bbPress in CZ then !

Thanks,
Pascal.

I had looked at several videos and none of them talked about step 3 and setting up a page. I have now done that and I can view the page (called: forums). And the test forum I set up has “forums” in the forum root slug heading. But I still get page not found. This is the address of the forum I have set up:

http://portwennonline.com/wordpress/forums/forum/dmforum/

I’m now starting to wonder if the issue has to do with Aabaco. This is the company that recently took over the Yahoo web hosting. I followed the guide above step-by-step I’ve even tried deleting all of the created pages and forums I’ve set up, deleted bbpress from my plugins and then reinstalled it and tried again – I’ve actually done this several times. Do you think a call to Aabaco might solve the issue?

Hiya,
I apologize if this is the wrong section but I have a quick inquiry for you all. Is there a bbpress plugin that creates a notifications widget.

So basically say a standard user is sent a private message from another user but I’ve removed my admin bar…. is there an existing plugin to create a widget that would display notifications which I could place on my page to show that private message is waiting to be read in a similar way to the admin bar?

Alternatively how would one go about editing the admin bar to remove the content to the left like the wordpress logo or “visit site” / dashboard tachometer icon?

Thanks in advance to all who respond!

[pwonlineblog]

I submitted a new post because I finally deleted the WordPress and started over – but I’m still getting the same “page not found”

Here is the blog site: http://www.portwennonline.com/wordpress/

And one of the test forums: http://portwennonline.com/wordpress/forums/forum/testforum1/

What files and what way am I supposed to modify if I wish to change the appearance of bbpress login form in this way? My forum: http://www.posuzujeme.cz

Original login form layout:

Bewished login form layout:

WordPress v. 4.4.2
bbPress v. 2.5.8.

I have searched the forum and can’t find anywhere to find the BBPRESS importer. I have an old PHPBB forum that I’d love to move over to my brand new BBPRESS one but eveyr post says the importer is under TOOLS>IMPORT and I don’t see that listed. Am I missing a plugin? Can I get the steps listed?

[mikehende]

No, but I am seeing the double forum in the url only when I click on the the topic I created titled “ask the tech”

Several of the wordpress access manager products will allow you to control who can do stuff to what
I think (from memory) that ‘user role editor’

and if you are happy with a bit of code, then this will help you define new roles/admin existing and control access

https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/

[Robin W]

that’s of my plugins then from a while back!

ok try my

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
and use the

[bsp-display-topic-index show='5' template ='short']

which displays without the header.

If you want it customised just for you, contact me via my website http://www.rewweb.co.uk

[Robin W]

If it is a Genesis theme, it may not play nicely with bbpress.

to fix have you added

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/

[Robin W]

plenty of plugins, just google ‘wordpress export csv’ and look for one that exports custom post types.

BBpress using custom post types of ‘forum’, ‘topic’, ‘reply’

[pwonlineblog]

I set up a new WordPress blog today and set it up with no changes. I may not ever use the blog but wanted the bbpress forum. I added the plugin and created several test forums. But every time I create a forum I cannot view it – I get “This page can’t be displayed”. I’ve tried just about everything you recommend (everything I can understand) and even deleted the plugin and reinstalled it. Nothing seems to work.

My main website: http://www.portwennonline.com
Wordpress blog: http://www.portwennonline.com/blog3/

Thanks @robin-w so perhaps we may be discussing two different things?

This thread is related to my work on a custom like/dislike plugin for wordpress and bbpress. I did resolve the issue I described in the first post.

I then integrated the like/dislike plugin into my custom bbpress “threaded view” layout, which is the home page of utehub.com.

So just wondering which one you are talking about? I have a couple of threads here discussing the threaded view.

[mikehende]

Was easy enough [thanks again!], those instructions are pretty efficient but will need to spend some more time on on it to get further acquainted with everything for example I don’t know why it’s showing “forums” twice in the URL, how can I fix this please?

I’ve been searching for a solution on this for hours, to no avail, and it seems like such a simple thing:

All I want to do is have my website show other users’ basic info when I click their name in a forum post.

For example, if I write a forum post, another user should be able to click on my name and see the profile info that I’ve added to my profile in the backend–e.g. “Contact Info” and “About Yourself” (email address, website, biographical info)–on a page on my site.

Right now, when they click on my name, or when I click on another forum user’s name, it sends to our 404 page.

What gives? Pretty much any site I’ve ever used that has multiple users allows you to click their name to see their bio. It seems insane that WordPress/bbPress doesn’t have this basic feature. And I haven’t even been able to find a plugin or any kinds of codes to make this happen. I’ve found all kinds of plugins that allow you to add additional user fields (like social media info) or prettier front-end login pages, but nothing that just displays another user’s contact/bio info.

Thanks in advance for your help.

If there was a good premium wordpress plug in, I would buy it. Believe me!

Hello everybody,

I would like to know how to remove the light yellow box on top of my website. It shows the last post and the user profil.
I know I put this myself but I can’t remember how to remove it. Someone can help me?

Best regards

I use bbpress 2.5.8 and the wordpress 4.4.2

[Robin W]

yes download my plugin

which should let you change colours, styles and lots more

So, I’m thinking of using bbPress for a forum I’m about to create. But, the more I read on this forum, the closer I get to the conclusion that bbPress is a dead project and should be buried. I’m writing this because I want to know if it really is as bad as it seems and in that case, why?!

So, I want my guest users to have the option to start forum threads and answer to topics, so far so good (but that’s about it). I also want the guest users (non logged in users) to be able to “quote” previous answers – a very basic forum function that is still not included in the most recent bbPress release?! I have searched this forum for answers about a quote function and as far as I can see it was promised to be a feature in the upcoming versions ABOUT 3½ YEARS AGO?! I’ve tried 3 plug ins to accomplish this without success. The Quote feature shows up if I’m logged in as admin, but not for guests. Same results for all the plug ins I’ve tried. Why is this not a standard feature yet?!

Another thing discussed here is the permalink function, the option to use wildcards to control how the forum permalink structure looks. There’s even a fantastic request about how this feature is supposed to work here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2258 The priority is set as “low” though this is a critical and very useful feature?! Nothing has happened. WHY?!

It seems that this is the same for all requests for new features on this forum. A lot of users are asking the developers for the most basic functions any forum on the net should have, but 2, 3 even 4 years later, nothing has happened. Again, as far as I can see, this laziness and ignorance showed by the developers is always defended by a phrase that goes something like “bbPress is a basic forum and you can expend it to your hearts content with plug ins!” but that is not the case. There are so few plug ins for bbPress, and even fewer good ones that is currently being updated on a regular basis.

So, what the f*ck is going on with bbPress? Is there any point in considering bbPress when creating a forum with more >10 users? Why is notning happening?! Also, how would I go about fixing the Quote function problem. “Quote option” isn’t showing to any guest with any plug in.

[drew345]

Oddly, my “page attributes” and even plug-ins don’t seem to work on my forum page.
I click “Template: Full page width” under Page Attributes, but the forum page doesn’t become full width.
I also have a plug-in remover for “Title Remover”, I select it, but the title “Forum” remains on top of my forum webpage.

Also odd (and maybe a clue) , when I navigate to the forum page, the “edit page” option is missing from the top wordpress navigation bar. It is present on all other pages.

I can still edit the page by going to the dashboard – pages – forum (edit page), but as stated above, the edits I do for Page attributes and plug-in selections don’t seem to take effect on the webpage.

Why might the page attributes and plug-ins not be working on the forum page?

Thanks

Okay….so I was on the WordPress forums thinking it was the bbPress forums….I know, I know. DUH!!

Complete NOOB here. I’m looking to create a forum based community.
I’m using Twenty Ten them and have started created my forum with bbPress.

I have a “Master Forum” with with sub-forums “North”, “Central” and “South”. It is displaying as:

Location
North (0, 0), Central (0, 0), South (0, 0)

I’m assuming the “(0,0)” after each sub-forum title is the number of topics and replies. I want to remove those on the main forum page so it looks like:

Location
North
Central
South

Any ideas?
