As wordpress strips the break and text tags I’m looking for a solution to add line breaks to my bbp_user_decription div.
Here is what did not work:
1.) What I find everywhere is some sort of this added to functions.php:
remove_filter('pre_user_description', 'wp_filter_kses');
This does not work, also looking at wordpress’ recent incl/registration.php just saying this file is deprecated makes me think that this code should not get to work at all.
2.) Alternatively I looked through my themes’files and used
<?php echo nl2br(get_the_author_meta( 'user_description' )); ?>
in content.php. Or <?php echo nl2br(get_the_author_meta( 'description' )); ?> in my author.php
3.) Tried 1) and 2) with bbp_ at the beginning of each decription’s part.
Nothing worked, break-or p-tags are just ignored.
Also, is there a secure way to add break-tags only?
Thanks for any help!
Its weird that you are getting this, bbPress and BuddyPress should work fine in most permalink structures (not all), but usually pretty permalinks and the default permalinks structure should work fine.
You did not try to edit any of the core plugins to try to fix it right??
Also you didn’t try to modify the htaccess file in WordPress unless you knew what you were doing??
Do you have a multisite installation??
I am making sure this isn’t a user created issue.
it is because you are using bbPress v1, the mesocolumn theme works fine with the newer bbpress v2 plugin of WordPress.
Dear Dev-Team,
I’m having a strange problem.
Our script creates a new forum if another post_type gets published.
The script has been up running and tested without issues a couple of days ago.
All WP + DB entries get set; even all bbpress post meta information (incl. ping_status, etc)
The created forum DB-entry does look 1:1 the same as a manually published forum.
There is no visible difference within the DB-entries. Also ‘publish’ status is set.
The only way to ‘publish’ the script-forum is entering the forum and hit/click publish again (WP backend). No additional settings need to change, only pressing ‘publish’ does the trick.
After doing this I’ve checked the DB/Debug again; still looks 1:1 the same.
Have you ever encountered such a problem?
I’ve tried resetting user-roles; changing bbpress user to super-admin privileges; deactivating plugins and scripts without any positive outcome.
Before re-installing the entire site I was hoping that you guys know what this could be?
We use “wp_insert_post( $my_forum );” for saving the private forum into the DB. Could this be a DB error? How to overcome such weirdness?
Wordpress Version: 2.4.3
bbpress Version: 2.5.8 & 2.5.7 tested
Tested as SuperAdmin, Admin, and Moderator.
Website isn’t live to the public at the moment.
Please let me know if you need any credentials (private).
Any help, trick or workaround is very much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
Kindest regards,
Chris
Hey Robkk!
First of all, thanks for noticing, and nope it is the latest, says 2.5.8.
Oh and by the way, i completely purged all of apache, including all of the files in /var/www, and started over.
now at least the ugly links work, but the pretty ones still don’t.
ok, and then i put all into the /var/www/ folder directly this time, as the install instructions for buddy press state, that wordpress must under no circumstances be in any subfolder.
i have installed no buddy press so far but only bbpress, that is alongside multilingual the only plugin so far.
but i am actually planning on installing quite a number, i found at least 24242 so far 😀
now the ugly links are really ugly…
i’d like people to be able to see the topic/content from a link in a mail… 🙂
can i have it like that? 😀
Ok so I found and installed this https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-sidebars/ and it seems to work on all the forum pages except for the index?
I figured i’d ask about in here because maybe someone already knows or its something particular to the index page?
Thanks Preston
Hi,
Version 1.1.1 is publically available now on https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-manage-subscriptions/
It handles the first level of subforums already now !
Next first step is to check the warnings (like the ones you indicated).
Any further input is welcome,
Pascal.
Not entirely sure really but I have tested themes that add next and prev post nav links to bbPress on accident and it seems to work. You may need to add the php tag to the bbPress forum templates, maybe just output it in a bbpress.php file with a condtional to only show on single forums.

Thanks. I took a look at this. I think I know more specifically what I want to do but I do not know how to do it.
The forum home ?post_type=forum uses page.php as does my page called “About Us.” With the “About Us” page I am able to use the editor and set an option called PageOption -> “Enable Sidebar” to Yes or No.
I have this set to No for my “About Us” page. How do I get the bbPress pages to also have this “Enable Sidebar” set to No? There is no ability to edit this menu setting like a standard WordPress page.
Thanks!
Chris
Yeah I saw the Freshness time add up in the backend of WordPress. You might not be able to schedule topics without this happening for now. I do not know if this was really set as a feature for bbPress honestly, I think an update in WordPress adding this option and maybe bbPress hasn’t removed it on their end or fixed any issues.
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, definitely selecting phpBB from the drop-down at the top of the page.
Both the wordpress and phpbb3 databases are on the same web server. I enter in ‘localhost’ to connect to them both
You might need to look into using LearnPress and this plugin. I think it should do what you want, but you may need to leave a support topic on the plugin’s below support forum just to make sure.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/learnpress-bbpress/
Or this might be custom development for a plugin.
But what you can do is at the bottom of each post just insert one of the single forum shortcodes.
Like this.
[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]
You can find the forum id by using a plugin like Reveal IDs to make life easier, and all you have to do is go to Forums > All Forums in the WordPress backend to see all of your forums ids.
Shortcodes
Same thing with topics if you to assign topics for each post.
Hi there!
I have tried to troubleshoot, and I had a bbpress on that theme before.
I have also had bbpress before with all the plugins i have now.
Both BBpress and WordPress is updatet to the newest.
Try some troubleshooting, and also link to your site to a forum where the error occurs. Also tell me your WordPress and bbPress versions are.
Troubleshooting
What kind of features are you looking for? BuddyPress can handle most of the social network aspects that vBull does.
Since you said layout are you looking for something similar to this??
Not really a bbPress issue, but you can follow this if there is not a register link by default.

Hi, I’m new to WordPress and bbPress
I’ve just installed bbPress and BuddyPress for the first time.
I was mucking about, looking around to work out how things work.
I thought I’d log out of Admin and try and see if I could see what it would be like to register as a new user. But there is no “register” link showing up anywhere?
Below is a screen capture of part of the screen of what I see, no register, just log in.
Any help appreciated.
Hi all. I have a WordPress site with a fresh install of bbpress on it for my forums. That said, the default bbpress theme for my site looks absolutely awful, so I was wondering how to install another theme or even just change the colors just for my forums. This is what it’s looking like at the moment.
I recently discovered this theme here that looks alright. Is there some way I could import that onto my site for JUST the forums? Let me know, thank you!
Hi
This is an interesting thread.
I have a large vBulletin 5.1.7 forum and after reading this topic I am thinking about migrating to bbPress.
I have powerful dedicated server solely for the forum, the forum has topics: 129,286 Posts: 3,055,650 Members: 51,108
Is there a script to import my forum into bbPress?
Can the WordPress plugin W3 Total Cache be used with bbPress to boost perform dance?
Many thanks for your help.
Hi there, I am having a slightly strange issue in that I have just installed:
Wordpress 4.2.4
BuddyPress 2.3.2.1
bbPress 2.5.8
Everything appears to be fine except for the little fact that I have no bbPress admin sections in the dashboard.
Any help would be most appreciated.
The database *must* be located on the same database server as your target WordPress installation, you can import from a remote database server.
Make sure you select “phpBB” from the dropdown at the top of the importer page.
@casiepa Thanks for creating a plugin to solve this problem for users. It is greatly appreciated. I have a few questions though.
How do I use it??
The setting are confusing me a little bit, and it doesn’t seem to show the subscriptions, but I do not really know where to manage them in the plugin. I just see a list of users with a button that says `[has role]’. I also do not think your plugin works for sub-forums/child forums of categories.
How does it work exactly??
I try to set it up, but I am still confused. Also there are a few errors while activating it with debug set to true in my wp-config.php file.
define('WP_DEBUG', true);

This might be custom development since it is the reply/topic forms. You may need to hire a developer to create this kind of functionality for you.
If you basically using this as spam protection you can use this.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-no-captcha-recaptcha/
You can also just link to your terms and condtions in the reply form too.
For registration/login forms you can use this plugin.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/agreeable/
You could possible hook the above plugin to work for reply/topic forms somehow though.
