You will need to upload an image smaller than the max amount set on your site. You can adjust that by following this guide.
How to Increase the Maximum File Upload Size in WordPress

If you are just seeing this error even though you have an image smaller than what is stated in the error notice, if the error is on the frontend on BuddyPress profile pages, contact BuddyPress in their support forums or the plugin you are using that is causing the issue on the frontend. If it is WordPress related, meaning an issue with the Media Library, post in the WordPress Support Forums.

There is this for users posts submitted. It offers an option to approve a user one or all the time.

In Settings > Forums in the WordPress backend disable the Forum Prefix it has a description beside it that says

Prefix all forum content with the Forum Root slug (Recommended)

If everything works on WordPress, but it’s really related to bbPress, then check out http://www.rewweb.co.uk/topic-subscribe/

Hi,
If you talk about plain WordPress with bbPress installed on top of it, then both users and emails are handled by WordPress. Creation of a new user is a WordPress thing, not related to bbPress.
Do you get emails for normal things you do in WordPress ? Are you using any SMTP tool ? Are you sure emails do not arrive in your spam ?
If emails work for WordPress, then don’t forget that you will not receive an email for your own topics…

Hi,

How can I migrate vBulletin forum data to WordPress bbPress forum? Is there any easy way around or any sort of plugin. I wanna know is anyone had done this before?

I found this plugin CMS2CMS: Automated vBulletin to bbPress Migrator but its free version is limited and I haven’t tried it yet though.

I am currently hosting my private member site with GoDaddy and I have recently started receiving this error. –

Upload Failed! Error was: That photo is too big. Please upload one smaller than

I have BuddyPress Version 2.4.3 installed in WordPress version 4.4.1.

Does anyone know the fix for this problem?

[Robin W]

if you are into coding, then download my plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

and look at

/includes/shortcodes.php

where I create a shortcode that uses a different template

You could create a new version by using that code as a base

this may help

@pyronaught, if it’s a local install, could you look at the queries to see which ones are super slow? I use https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/ for things like that.

(I mean look at them and post them here so we can figure out where exactly the problem is! No worries if that’s not possible or you just don’t feel like it. 🙂 )

Hello,

With the code snippet I found here I was able to only show one reply revision log, namely the most recent one.

I would now like to move the revision log out of the reply itself and show it right below. I’m not sure which could I’d have to move to where. If anyone would have some directions that would great, thank you!

Hello community !

First of all, I want to clarify that I’m french, so I apologize for my poor English !

I explain my problem :

I create a website with wordpress. A website that contains several little websites.
Each little website has a different navigation. To do this I use the plugin : Zen menu logic, which allows me to select the right menu assigned for each page/post/forum/topic/reply of my website. Ok.

The problem I have is the following :
when a user creates a new topic, the menu assigned to this new topic, is the main menu of wordpress.
at that time I could go in the wordpress admin, select the new subject which has just been created, and then assign the right menu but I want this operation to be automated !

So do you know how I could do to automatically assign the right menu to a forum and all its sub forum / topic ?

I tried many things but in vain !
Does someone have an idea ?

Thx a lot in advance !

I am trying to edit replies within the admin panel and can’t access pages 2 onwards.

Page 1 works perfectly fine – and I am able to edit all replies that show on the page. The error also occurs when trying to see posts from a certain month only.

Using wordpress: 4.3.2
Bbpress: 2.5.8

Thanks in advance

Hi dear BBPress Community,

after a long while of thinking about using bbpress or not – i decided to use it. The thing is, that I had installed it once (a long while ago). And now I reinstalled it to configure and use it in combination with Buddypress.

But then – HEY – It is (although activated) completely invisible in my wordpress backend. I created a site called “forum” to see if there is something it puts out in the frontend. And yes – there are even my old test-forums shown, which I had created two years ago.

But still no chance to see or change any option in my backend.

Strange!

Can someone help, please? 😉

Warmest regards
Torsten

This is a result of a change in WordPress. I had this too – I don’t allow users to change their nickname so the nickname field on the edit form was disabled and didn’t submit (as was the intent). What I did was make the nickname field “readonly” rather than “disabled” and then added this in (you could add it to your functions.php)

user_nickname_is_login( $meta, $user, $update ){
	$meta['nickname'] = $user->user_login;
	return $meta;
}
add_filter( 'insert_user_meta', 'user_nickname_is_login', 10, 3 );

This sets the nickname as the user_login so you would change it to whatever the nickname should be. That function forces the nickname to be what I want — I know the field in the profile was readonly but it was still editable using dev tools and I didn’t want that!

[klantomo]

After the update from WordPress 4.3.1 to 4.4.1 I receive the error message “ERROR: Please enter a nickname.” when I try to change any profile field in the bbpress profile frontend.

I was able to verify the bug without no other plugins enabled. I also verified that the bug does not exist in WordPress 4.3.1.

Is this a WordPress or a bbpress bug?

Hi, So yesterday, I installed bb press on my WordPress site. I finally created a forum, as well as a test topic. Knowing I wanted users to be able to create accounts, I went to settings>general and checked the anyone can create accounts box or something like that. but when I go to register, it is not sending me the email with a password. I can of course login with my username and password, or manually create accounts for who ever wants to use the forum, but that would be defeating the purpose of what I’m trying to do. I don’t know if something is not configured correctly in PHP mail, because I am fairly new with that. Any help would be much appreciated.

[tharsheblows]

Yes, there’s an error with some of the menu_order bits. In addition to @nesiditsa’s edit (the same as this patch: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5392) you might need to apply these as well: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5338

Hi,
bbPress has a converter from vbulletin. You can install the latest stable bbPress 2.5.8 as a plugin to your WordPress and start the conversion. I would however like to indicate that bbPress 2.6-alpha (so not yet stable) is however much improved for conversions, so it could be an option to do it with that version.
You can find information on installing and importing in the codex: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/

Did you check how you deal with nonces ?

I have installed the forum all is good so far but I am wanting to limit access of the forum to registered users.
This forum is intended to be a benefit for paid members and I am using the Paid Membership Pro plugin and woocommerce to set up the memberships. While this plugin lets me limit other areas of my website to members, such is not the case for bbPress. Nor can I find a way in bbPress settings to limit access to registered users. I see where I can limit who can post but not who can visit and read the forums. Any thoughts on how I might make this work?
The site is http://iahnlp.org

[nowton]

Yes, the auto role for forums is Participant. Users were imported as Subscribers; but the resulting import did not list any role for the forum. Changing forum roles in bulk for users does not work. I tried with a personal account but although I can log in to WordPress, I cannot log in to the forums. How to continue? Thanks in advance.

[carmstrongclark]

Hello,

I have a forum that has been dead for a few months but I now want to bring it back – and would prefer it if the post and replies looked recent. How do I go about this? Is it a PhpMyadmin job or is there a way through the wordpress core?

Thanks

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
bbPress builds on top of WordPress. Any WordPress user that has at least ‘participant’ access can post on your forums.
So you need to make sure your users stay ‘clean’. I use wangguard for that and Theme My Login with a captcha so I’m rather sure that my users are real and they get checked if they would be sploggers or not. So you will need some extra plugins to safeguard, or you make sure that everybody is set ‘for approval’ so you can decide.
But this is a pure WordPress matter, not a bbPress one.
Pascal.
