Wordpress Version: 4.1
Latest bbpress version
website: http://www.gizmoids.com
I want to show my forum topics as post on my website. Not all, jest some of them which I will choose.
Can I do this with bbpress? how?
If it is not possible can you tell me how to use default taxonomy (categories) with forum? I want to store some topics in these default WordPress category.
Thank You
Hi,
When I receive an email notification, if I’m logged in and I click the link it takes me directly to the thread/post in question.
However if I’m not logged in I simply get:
Sorry, the page your requested could not be found, or no longer exists.
Running WordPress 4.1 and bbpress 2.5.4
I have tested with the bundled themes and the issue persists.
Hi,
I’m having an issue with bb slides. On the desktop and at the back end it’s linking correctly but on mobile it links to brick-work.org/bb-slides/linkaddress. It only does this for the first slide, not the others which links correctly.
My wordpress version is 4.1, my bbpress version is 2.5.4 and my website is http://www.brick-work.org
Thanks in advance for any help!

@kmal91 – sorry but unless you find someone who has spent time with wishlist, I think you will struggle to get help.
For me to fix I’d need to spend at least 1/2 day installing and understanding wishlist.
But two thoughts
1. As a quick Q – if most/many of your forums are restricted, why do you need a link to the forum archive?
2. If you took bbpress out of wishlist, you could probably achieve the forum restriction using
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
You’d need to set up somne groups to mirror wishlist, but it might be an effective solution.
Something else is wrong with your wordpress, it shows your name in the admin bar and menu items.
I see a menu with one link only called “sample page”, so the top menu is showing.
In your menu’s edit screen, on the list with pages etc on the left side of the screen, does it say “Forums”, should be under “pages” and “posts”
Instead of making your own link you should select the forums here and click “add to menu” if you want them in your menu
If there is no “forums” option then there is something very wrong with your install or theme.
Hmm i am lrb I have no idea why it is doing that and thinking you are logged on.
If i go to View Forum from the create part it just takes me to the main page of wordpress and not to the forum i clicked on.

Ok I ave my WordPress 4.1 running Twenty Fourteen theme and I just downloaded bbpress.
My problem is that i cannot get the link to the forums to display. I never had this problem with simple press.
Anyway I even tried using the exact slug address and it just goes right back to my blogs fromt page and never gets to the forum. I am at a loss here I think what it told me was the address should be http://linksareblue.com/forums/forum/
That again just leads me back to the main blog page.
I am at a total loss here so any help would be appreciated.
Oh yeah i created 4 new forums there and cannot get any of them to display and yes i did publish them not just preview — however they dont even come up under preview.
Any help would be appreciated. I have 4 more sites to put up the same way and i am at a standstill until i get this all figured out.

Hello,
I’m using Gonzo theme with wordpress 4.1 and bbpress 2.5.4
Problem is;
Everything works fine except the frontend side. It is not possible to login with either owner account or a participator account, noone can create a new topic.
I can reply to opened topics, do anything on backend side however creating new topics is my problem.
I do not use any plugins related with roles or bbpress.
I’ve tried eliminating every plugin but it’s not related with it.
Do you have any suggestions for a solution?
Thank you

You may have better luck starting your own thread on this one. I had a similar problem, in that users see notifications (the little icon on the wordpress nav bar) but never get an email. I will mention that if you look closely at the ticket referenced and if you do have access to the code yourself you can find the line to examine in bbpress\includes\common\functions.php -> Line 1066 and roughly 1106. My smtp provider was not liking the noreply email address that was being constructed as the sender. I changed the lines I mention to a valid email address and everything started to work. Also worth mentioning, I am using WP Mail SMTP.
I have been dealing with the same problem. No user, not even keymaster, can edit their own posts. I tried what you suggested, but still not working. What version of WordPress and bbPress are you using?
Thanks,

hey guys,
I have an external Frontpage, which is located under domain.at
My Blog is located under the domain.at/blog.
Now I want that the bbpress forum is located under domain.at/forum instead of domain.at/blog/…
What is the best way to reach this goal? Is it necessary to do this with .htaccess or is there an easier way?
I think it might be also possible to make the frontpage a custom page template in wordpress, and create a page post type based on it. Then I could make domain.at the site-root with my custom frontpage and user /blog and /forum.
Is there an other / better way?
Thanks!
bbpress 2.5.4 with WordPress 4.1
For a non-member of my web site and thus not logged in, they are able to see search results from bbPress from topics that are in forums marked as Private.
To be clear, I have all but one of my forums set as Private. The other one is set to Hidden. When I go to the forum front page I see a message “Oh bother! No forums were found here!”. Using the search bar above the forum (presumably default search) I am able to return results from content that is in the Private groups. The Hidden content is not returned. To make matters worse, not only are the topics from the Private forums returned in the search results, but the actual topic content is returned as well, so it is completely public.
I’ve installed the latest version of bbpress and WordPress, and am attempting to migrate my forum from XenForo using the built in migration tool. I am receiving the following:
No reply_to parents to convert
No replies to convert
No tags to convert
No super stickies to stick
No stickies to stick
No topics to convert
No forum parents to convert
No forums to convert
No passwords to clear
No users to convert
I’ve used my config.php file from XenForo to obtain the host, username, password, and dbname. I also used the prefix ‘xf_’.
Any ideas?
The “Edit” link is there in every post. For the test I just did the link takes me to the following address:
http://www.spatialhaze.com/wordpress/index.php/forums/topic/freqently-asked-questions/edit/
And the following error message is what pops up on the screen for every post I try to edit:
Not FoundIt looks like nothing was found at this location. Maybe try a search?
It’s like the the edit link is pointing to a place with no data.
I will go through the links you provided to see if there is something I missed. BTW, I have removed and reinstalled the bbPress plugin twice with the same results.
Thanks,

I have tried as many of the proposed solutions as I could find in this forum, but still no solution. I have deactivated all plugins except bbpress and tried four different Themes, Twenty Twelve, Twenty Thirteen, Twenty Fourteen, and Twenty Fifteen. I also tried changing the default time for the “Disallow after editing” from 5 minutes to 99999 with no success. Even admin with keymaster privileges cannot edit own posts. Are there any other things I can try before giving up on bbPress? Or, is there another Forum plugin I can try that may have better success?
Thanks,
mux
you can contact bbPress reply by email’s plugin author here
http://tareq.wedevs.com/contact/
other than that you can post a job at jobs.wordpress.net and see if anyone will pick up creating your feature.

I this sentence i said you can do much with only CSS and styling. To “sell” bbPress to WP beginners.
WordPress has its own “demo” websites, all those nice and fancy themes around web. BbPress has it not.
this is the featured sites section on here bbpress.org/about/examples/
and maybe this site should show any heavily designed WordPress themes integrated with bbPress in the themes section of this site?? the section isn’t really being used anymore ,but it could be a cool place to show off cool themes. i think that would have to wait for the bbpress theme tag though??
There is a reason why WP holds so much of web, and bbPress is not in this league.
well ones a cms/blogging software and the other is a forum software.
alot of people would want to create a blog over a forum , a forum requires alot more responsibility to take of and handle.
@robin-w
I’m working on one now that adds some styling changes (the common ones asked for)
if you need anybody to test it out you can email me it if you want to.

Problems with other forum scripts are (if we forget about WP integration for a moment) like this, and i have seen it more than often.
People come to forum, relax, discussing, forget about time. But they forget about main portal too. It doesnt exist for them. I have seen many popular and crowded forums and people behind main portal lose money, time, energy to write editorials and news. Nobody is reading this, nobody “knows” about portal when they are on forum. And all try to make other forum scripts look a like something near CMS are madness, better not to go this way.
Here you have old brother WordPress, so popular in the world. You discuss in the forum, suddenly sidebar widget display new article from portal, as it says “did you forget to read news”. Just one example of many of them.
All is here, all exist to make bbPress (or BuddyPress) most popular forum script. To follow steps of WordPress.
Smart core coders, wish exist, older brother WordPress is there to push bbPress in the front of other forum scripts.
I read somwehere (or was it for BuddyPress, but it is the same logic), that you avoid new options and functions in core to reduce support. It is OK and understandable.
I this sentence i said you can do much with only CSS and styling. To “sell” bbPress to WP beginners.
It is very behind other forum software right now.
WordPress has its own “demo” websites, all those nice and fancy themes around web. BbPress has it not.
try
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
This should stop bbpress forum entries displaying when they shouldn’t.
Old topic but. This can help. Check just if it doesnt interfere with sorting in backend and frontend for other things. Such plugins can do it sometimes and give undesired results. Watch your widgets too how they behave.

You probably want to amend a template – How php code/wordpress knowledgable are you?
