I’m in the process of moving an established WordPress/BBPress setup to a new server. It is installed in a 2nd level directory named http://[server]/town-square/ which is the WordPress install directory. It has been working fine on the old server for over a year. I am only using the BBPress and Calendar plugins. Their slugs are /town-square/forums/ and /town-square/calendar/
Clicking the links to those pages I get a 404.
I can login in as admin by directly accessing /town-square/wp-login.php (albeit with a funny pre-login that seems to be required by the hosting company). Logged in as admin I have access to all the usual dashboard functionality and the plugin config pages.
I also have access to the WordPress database by phpMyAdmin. I did alter a few of the wp_options values to reflect the new domain name that I am obliged to use until we can transfer the current domain name to the new server. Those changes corrected a few problems with the links that WordPress constructed.
My question is: How do I make the links to the plugin pages work via their slugs?
Many thanks
Tim
Hello, i put bbpress with the plugin wp social login, well, when I activate the plugin and put to login with facebook, twitter and google…. I have to put ID, and secret Key, to cofigurate….
Well. I activate the plugin, and a few hours later, I check that the people click in face,twitte or google to login to writte, INSIDE TO MY WORDPRESS PANEL CONTROL!!!
What happend? how can I configurate my plugin that the people register to writte in bbpress, no inside in my private blog!
I forgot to ask one think, when i want to access to my control panel in my blog, WordPress User and pasword, in this area appeare “LOGIN WITH”.. and logos of facebook, twitter and google.
But i do not want to appeare there, because it is only when I login in my control panel. I want to put on the page of my blog.
The thinking is that, at first when i made a test with the plugins, i could to put, and see the login in the page, but desinstaled and reinstaled and now it is imposible to see. (EVEN IF I PUT OTHER LOGIN PLUGIN).
I delete the cache already.
Thanks for responding, Stephen!
Yeah, I agree that the converter is a pain! I was excited because I had gotten past that step (I think). My unexpected brickwall is between BuddyPress and bbPress.
The complete process I used is one that I originally documented here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-i-got-import-from-ning-to-work-for-me
tl/dr answer: I used BuddyPress 1.6.1 and the latest version of bbPress. I installed only BuddyPress during the Ning migration. After that was complete and looked good, I let BuddyPress update to its latest version and installed the latest version of bbPress. All topics AND replies existed at that point. I did the final migration from BuddyPress to bbPress and all replies disappeared.
I don’t know either of these two plugins well yet but the only clue I have is the wp_bb_terms error message. Perhaps the migration is failing at that point and causing the replies to become disconnected. I just don’t know.
It’s so frustrating to be THIS close!
@robkk: I might just do that and add it to members’ WordPress profile. Thanks for the advice on this.
Sounds kind of neat for threaded replies, make a feature request in the bbPress trac.
Login and create a ticket.

Subscriber makes sense for a default WordPress role since WordPress was just for blogs, so the default registrant role would be a subscriber to see your blog posts.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities
Try creating a test user by manually doing so with an additional email you may have in the WordPress Register form. Then see what the forum role is. If it is blank still, make a test forum post to see if it changes.
You can also try some troubleshooting if something is messing with the forum role being set.

I’m having all sorts of html code show up as part of bbpress email notifications. Worst when the text is pasted in from other webpages or emails, but that’s unavoidable with lots of people using a forum.
Even random characters when someone types directly in the editor.
I’m using wordpress’s built in mce editor with only visual mode available. Latest versions of wp and bb. Are there any solutions to fix this?

Thanks in advance! Rich
This does not have to do with bbPress…but.
If Drupal was your first CMS read this guide.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Importing_Content#Drupal
You may need to hire a developer again if you had more customizations created then just migrating from one CMS to another.

Hi all, is there any way to restrict that email notifications in a topic only apply to 2nd level replies to my reply? And not for other users replies on the same topic.
I don’t want to receive notifications of other replies in the topic I have replied.
Running:
– WordPress 4.1.5
– bbPress: 2.5.6
Thanks in advance!
Nothing, it is imposible, I see that checkbox that say Forum is checked. ok.
now I go to foro (in the screen menu on the left) and click in the area Forum my three forum and i click “add menu” well, if I make this, I see in the menu the three options individual too.
If I do not have in the menu one options that put FORUM, how can wordpress know that I want in the menu one windows that put forum.
If i selecc the three forums in forum (for example, sport,football, rugby) I see in the menu sport,football and rugby) because inside the menu there aren´t a windows forum.

I have to create multiple pages like the ones above. I have created the forums for each page which include: parents, teachers, students but the problem comes with the post into a board. I had to remove breadcrumbs since it took them back to the forum home with all the boards. I am going to have many more pages like above. Is there a way to have when they post go back to the page they came from?
Right now after they submit they see this with no way to get back to say this page mysite.com/ims/
Sorry for the late reply, but I couldn’t find a soltution to find a specific user with the ID of 1000.
This shows recently registered users but you would have to keep track of who is the 1000th user.

Other than that it may be custom development and you may need to hire a developer.
Sorry for the late reply.
CAn you create me an account so I could see the issue first hand, and possibly see what is causing the issue.
You can send me the login information to my email.

Sorry for the late reply. I hate this issue you have, because I cannot really find a resolution without straight up guessing to try to find something.
I do see that you have removed it though. But you do not need to remove it with CSS or it will hide the other notices too.
You can try this PHP function instead.
add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_forum_description', 'ja_return_blank' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_topic_description', 'ja_return_blank' );
function ja_return_blank() {
return '';
}
If you want you can contact me so I can just see what could be causing the issue.

It is just like customizing a regular WordPress theme.
Just copy the bbpress.css file into your child theme in a folder called css then edit it to your liking.

It is weird that when I check the teststudents blog in the dashboard, I can see users listed as Participant as their site role, while it should be Subscriber.
The WordPress backend menu is all off when I hover over menu items. I do not know what is causing that. Also some bbPress tools in the Tools section, seem to have their own menu items also, which I do not know why.
There also seems to be forums on some blogs with the same content too??
This is one for example.
http://theglobalschool.net/science/tilliemcr/forums/topic/hello-world/
You can probably find more by visiting the site, and adding /forums at the end of the url.
If you haven’t already try some troubleshooting to see what is causing all of this.

Thanks, remember to try not to post login information on the forums though.

That is a really old topic that used bbPress v1 standalone, which is entirely different software than what you have now. So I would recommend not using any code from topics about 3 or more years old.
You may need to install a Find and Replace plugin to remove the tt tags, or just change back to break tags.
To add mutiple line breaks you may need to read this, maybe install the mentioned plugin, and maybe also active TinyMCE in bbPress using the bbPress Enable TinyMCE plugin.

Thanks for finding that bug. I will create a trac ticket for this.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2864
You can use the default registration forms in WordPress instead. The bbPress register shortcode is not really complete in functionality. The login shortcode should work decent enough though.
no ideas, anyone? 🙁
(ps: forgot to say: i am using the latest version of bbpress and wordpress.)
