Please go through some of the troubleshooting steps listed here.

Troubleshooting

and What schmoo and I were saying is that you can use both of the plugins we mentioned to extend/show the visual editor.

to display the visual editor make sure you have configured the setting in settings > forums in the WordPress back-end.

this just looks like a CSS issue.

I think it is just that your buttons text are white by default in your theme and it is overriding the bbPress styles.

you can try this CSS and see if it works but you would need to find the issue using some developer tools in your browser or you can create me a subscriber/participant acount to look at it.

If you want to create me an account you can send the login details to my email here.

I modified a little script I found inside a plugin named “bbp signature” https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-signature/
That plugin actually does not work with Buddypress, it is a bbpress plugin
[modified by moderator]

But the code wasn’t too terrible. even though I only kept a few line of it.

So here’s the solution;

make sure you have buddypress with xprofile enabled *(extended profiles)

1. Create a new text box field in Xprofile and name it “Signature”. *(caps is important, no quotation mark.)

Then add that code to the function.php of your child theme.

//Add Signature

function bbp_reply_content_append_user_signature( $content = '', $reply_id = 0, $args = array() ) {
	// Default arguments
	$defaults = array(
		'separator' => '<hr />',
		'before'    => '<div class="bbp-signature">',
		'after'     => '</div>'
	);
	$r = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
	extract( $r );

	// Verify topic id, get author id, and potential signature
	$reply_id  = bbp_get_reply_id       ( $reply_id );
	$user_id   = bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id );
	$signature = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Signature', $user_id );

	// If signature exists, adjust the content accordingly
	if ( !empty( $signature ))
		$content = $content . $separator . $before . $signature . $after;

	return apply_filters( 'bbp_reply_content_append_signature', $content, $reply_id, $separator );
}

add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bbp_reply_content_append_user_signature', 1, 2 );

That’s it !

PS. If you want to enable HTML in xprofile there is a way but it’s risky.
you can read about it here : https://buddypress.org/support/topic/html-in-profile-field-again/

To Whom It May Concern,

I’m trying to configure forums properly for my site and for some reason the forum samples that I created from my back end are not showing up on my http://www.myloopnetwork.com website under the “Forums” tab. So I went to check out the Error Log from my hosting plan back end and saw this message:

20150609T144202: http://www.myloopnetwork.com/index.php
WordPress database error Table ‘wordpress_iomdefe35a.wp_jgts_bb_forums’ doesn’t exist for query DESCRIBE wp_jgts_bb_forums; made by require(‘wp-blog-header.php’), require_once(‘wp-includes/template-loader.php’), do_action(‘template_redirect’), call_user_func_array, bp_template_redirect, do_action(‘bp_template_redirect’), call_user_func_array, bp_screens, do_action(‘bp_screens’), call_user_func_array, bp_forums_directory_forums_setup, do_action(‘bbpress_init’), call_user_func_array, bp_forums_load_bbpress

There were a lot of other errors listed on that log but I already spoke to a representative of my hosting plan service and he said that he doesn’t see any other errors on that log from his end, except this one and another error (which I’m currently trying to resolve with the BuddyPress plug in moderators). So is there a reason why the above message is showing up? Please let me know what necessary steps I must take to get this resolved.

I’m currently testing everything out on the latest version of the Twenty Fifteen theme (ideally, I want to use this Magnus WordPress Theme [1.6 Version] for my site), I only have the BuddyPress plug in (now running a 2.3.1 version), the bbPress plug in (now running a 2.5.7 version) and a W3 Total Cache plug in (running a 0.9.4.1 version) currently activated. My hosting provider is with iPage, which is running a 5.0 PHP version and is running NGINX for their server. I hope all this info will be helpful in figuring out what’s going on. Any feedback or any other suggestions you may have will be greatly appreciate it.

Thank you in advance.

@mmice

you should have posted that on gist.github.com or at least pastebin so that users do not have to scroll through all that.

As for importing have you tried a creating a custom import using the example one in the bbPress plugin
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/custom-import/

And for Karma system you might have to look into a WordPress plugin like MyCred.

And for importing private messages , I am not sure how that is going to work, but there is a lot of Private messaging plugins for WordPress like BuddyPress.

[Robkk]

once i went into bbpress settings and set a register page and activation page.

This sounds like you went to BuddyPress’s settings, you can use BuddyPress’s register form.

For a login page you can place the bbPress login shortcode in a page and it should work.

For a lost password page I guess you can use the lost password shortcode but I do not know if it works correctly or not, or it just redirects to the WordPress lost password form.

[Robkk]

You can also use this plugin too, but works best without BuddyPress installed.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-members-only/

[Robin W]

https://wordpress.org/plugins/restrict-content/

should do the trick

[jnezon]

Running bbpress 2.5.7 and buddypress 2.3.1 and a couple of extensions wordpress version 4.2.2- the issue I am seeing is that posts from other groups (all of which are set to be private) are now showing in each others posts.

Site is developer-ims.alcatel-lucent.com (I’ll need to pm with account)

I cant figure out why / what more to check / how to repair (tried all the tools)

[grayson_marik]

Hi there,

on my page i use the wordPress function to do some automatted posts. however, they do not show up. Only after doing the repair tools they are available.

This is how i do it :

`
$post = array(
‘post_title’ => $topic,
‘post_content’ => $message2,
‘post_type’ => ‘topic’,
‘post_status’ => ‘publish’,
‘post_author’ => $authorId,
‘comment_status’=>’closed’,
‘post_parent’ => $parentID,
);

$topicid = wp_insert_post( $post, $wp_error );
`

The post_meta is not set properly. So what do i have to do to make it work?

[Robin W]

(I have crossposted this to the Private groups plugin support board. I hope there are no issues with that.)

no problem, you get me either way !

This could be coded, but it is quite complex to do.

In essence you would need to change the can_view function in private groups to have a view or change capability.

The issue is that I am fully tied up at the moment in other paid work, so you would need to put this to someone who would need to learn how bbpress/private groups works.

I suggest you try

I hope you find someone.

Hi everyone,

Looking for some assistance here,Instead of using WordPress facing registration page/ login page i have made a page that has login, registration an d lost password shortcodes. However during the registration process, i cannot get the user to specify the password therefore there is a need for approving admins to go create a password then email the user. Any ideas?

I have looked at many forums, plugins but haven’t got very far. Many thanks

I have one question.
In the page “Forum Replies Created”, can I show my replies data only?
If I can, which php file is, and how do I change code?
Or if I need to apply certain WordPress plugin, what is it?

The page “Forum Replies Created” shows all replies data which contains my relied data.
I’d like not to show other user’s replies data.

bbpress version: 2.5.7

Hey all,

I’m wanting to achieve something fairly complex with bbpress, and I’m hoping you all can help me.

Right now my setup looks like this:

Two main forums, Forum A and Forum B. Forum B contains subforums X, Y and Z.

I want all of the users of my site to be able to view and fully participate in Forum A. That’s fine.

However, I want all of the users of my site to be able to fully view Forum B, but for only users with specific permissions to be able to post there.

For example, a user from User Group X will be able to view topics and threads in subforums X, Y and Z, but can only post in subforum X. A user from User Group Y can see subforums X, Y and Z but can only post to User Group Y, and so on.

Right now I’ve achieved part of what I need with Robin Wilson’s “Private groups” bbpress. Unfortunately, with this plugin, users who don’t have permission to access a forum can’t view it – the plugin pushes them to a 404 page or a redirect substitute. I want users to still be able to fully view the forums, just not to be able to post without permission.

Does anyone have any advice as to how to implement something like this?

(I have crossposted this to the Private groups plugin support board. I hope there are no issues with that.)

[Robin W]

new topics are below any of the forums

you can add a link to these to make it more obvious, this plugin has that facility

Hi All,

I’m having some strange issues since this weekend, a weekend without anything happening on the server or installation side.

BBPress version: 2.5.7
Wordpress: 4.2.2 Avada theme

Problem 1:
When i want to a edit a topic, as moderator or as superuser, and press save or submit, the form won’t save. Changes are not visible most of the times, after several atempts it works but most of the time it doesnt. When pressing save it returns me back to the topic as is should, but without the changes I made.

Problem 2:
Is a bit the same as editing. When I create a new topic and press submit, it doesnt show up in my topic list (not on the user site, nor on the admin back-end). After several atempts, it creates a topic.

The problem isnt there when i create or edit a topic in the back-end (the WP dashboard), as superuser or moderator.

I hope someone can help me out!

The website is kb.bee-connected.nl but it is behind a password.

[johodges]

Thank you, Robin. I had done a post of my own to test, which worked. However, it now seems to be solved due to an update on Simple WordPress Membership (at least, it’s now visible, which is a relief). Fingers crossed!

[Robin W]

new topic at the bottom of any forum page. You can add a link for this using

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-style-pack

As you learn, write it down, and you’ll soon have a guide !

[johodges]

I have set up a website for a local horticultural society with a forum restricted to society members. For the forum, I’m using bbpress; for the membership registration I’m using Simple WordPress Membership. I’m using the customizr theme and the latest version of WordPress. My problem is that, with our 1st topic, the first reply is hidden. I cannot find a way of unhiding it. I’ve posted a reply myself, which is visible, and tried reposting the text of the hidden reply. When I do this, I get van email altering me to the reply but still nothing is visible on the website. Please can someone help? The website is http://www.growchiswick.org.

Many thanks,

Jo Hodges

the bbpress authors believe this is a wordpress issue, so are waiting for them to fix

bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly.

and

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2412

Whilst it is annoying with debug turned on, it is not a fatal error and goes away when debug turned off as it should be for production sites

[Robin W]

all is possible, but you’d need to pay someone to do that amount of work

use :

instead

I just installed bbpress on a brand new site. I have created a couple of test forums and topics. On the forum root it shows that there are topics and posts in the forums. However, when I click on a specific forum to view the topics, I get the following message: “Oh bother! No topics were found here!”

By way of troubleshooting, I tried another WordPress theme. It worked, and the forums displayed as they should. Is there a way I can keep my current WordPress theme from conflicting with bbpress? I have no idea what is causing the conflict, only that it is being caused by the theme I am using. I don’t want to change themes, either.

[chia18]

I have a website where I need to keep some page visible just for some kind of users. So I have installe UAM User Admin Manager Plugin to my website. I have created a group of “special member” that can access everything. On every page or post I can setup the group “access”.
I can do the same with forum, topics and replies. But even if I select this option everythin is always visible to everyone. I cannot understand why. Can you help me please?

here you can see the forum in my website

Forum ALAO

and here a page for a restricted special member
