Thanks for your reply @robin-w
I tried that but it assigns the user the default role in bbpress.
I gave a dummy user the admin role in wordpress and what I want is for the user to be automatically given the admin role in bbpress as well.
Using the code you supplied it leaves the user with the default role.
How can I assign non-standard bbpress roles with custom capabilities to non standard wordpress roles also with custom capabilities using the map so this is performed dynamically?
Forgive me if this is the wrong area. I’m a pretty new WordPress user but I’m using it to build an Intranet. Management decided they wanted a message boards and I discovered bbPress so I thought I’d give it a go instead of using SMF.
However, I was wondering if there was any way in which I could create accounts and authentic login details via Active Directory (around 500 users) instead of creating all the accounts manually.
I did search for this but the threads were 4/8 years old so I wasn’t too confident in how relevant they are.
Thanks
Nothing in wordpress that I iknwo of.
Are you using a spam filter?
I’d also suggest you talk to your host provider – they’re usually very helpful, and it might be something in your setup ion the server
Next one is on the shortcodes you mentioned. https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode
The bbpress codes work in a similar fashion to wordpress’s shortcodes and there are a few examples on that page as to how they work.
While they are useful I’m not entirely convinced you need them at this stage.
They can be used to put features of the forums on other pages that are not your main forums such as login, one category of your forums, tag clouds etc. You can use the [bbp-forum-index] on a page if you have created one but I’m pretty sure you shouldn’t need to unless that what you want.
I believe that plugin would still be fine with your current version of WP and bbP.
Had to split the reply as I don’t seem to be able to post more than one link per reply
Ok no worries.
Im going to give you some links to look at as they have some potentially useful info.
First one is for the permalinks https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks
I normally have these setup with post name checked in the settings but you are free to choose your own.
It also makes it easier to find posts and topics etc with “pretty” names in your url bar. My websites forums for example are at myurl/forums <– easy peasy. I never setup a page for bbpress and this worked out fine.
Please take another look. I did use the info and set up a custom link. I do get the Private forum, however, the same, no such page error occurs for the other three sub forums.
Do you mean you don’t want anyone else to start topics?******** Yes, that is correct. I do want them to reply to topics. Topics need to be started by admin only.
there is a plugin for bbPress although I haven’t used it. https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpressmoderation/ ************ I found it although it seems they say only is compatible with WP version 3.6.1 I have WP version 4.1. Can I try it or will it screw things up?
Hey there. You’ll need to write a small plugin to do this, as currently there is no classification of what roles a user has available to target.
I’ve created this Trac ticket and slated it for the 2.7 release. It won’t be too difficult for us to make this easier for you in a future release.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2737
I’m not an expert on these things but I just setup bbPress and I never setup a page for it.
To add it to my menu I got the page url for it and added a custom menu item pointing to that url.
I had a quick look at your website and the forums link in the menu appears to point to yourwebsite/?forum=forums which points to a page not found.
Try using this link instead yourwebsite/?post_type=forum as it seems to show the forums page at least, although I cannot see any categories or forums on it.
I do not want topics created from the front end
Do you mean you don’t want anyone else to start topics?
I will need to approve and post all replies to a topic
there is a plugin for bbPress although I haven’t used it. https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpressmoderation/
To allow users to register on your website you need to enable that feature. Its in the dashboard under Settings->General-> Membership.
Since WordPress 4.0, this happens with any plugins that have complete and updated translations. If you modify them, WordPress won’t know about it.
How would I removed the metabar from the topic page without removing it from the rest of the wordpress post pages

I found this
/**
* Return a map of WordPress roles to bbPress roles. Used to automatically grant
* appropriate bbPress roles to WordPress users that wouldn't already have a
* role in the forums. Also guarantees WordPress admins get the Keymaster role.
*
* @since bbPress (r4334)
*
* @return array Filtered array of WordPress roles to bbPress roles
*/
function bbp_get_user_role_map() {
// Get the default role once here
$default_role = bbp_get_default_role();
// Return filtered results, forcing admins to keymasters.
return (array) apply_filters( 'bbp_get_user_role_map', array (
'administrator' => bbp_get_keymaster_role(),
'editor' => $default_role,
'author' => $default_role,
'contributor' => $default_role,
'subscriber' => $default_role
) );
}
Is there any way to add extra roles in that without editing the plugin files directly?
ok, the software is held in files, the content (forums, topics etc) is held in the database.
Please read
https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/
for a long explanation of how wordpress is structured.
I believe you issue is as simple as that the level of user that you are does not permit you to se the ‘backend’ – that is the forum stuff in the dashboard – so deleting and recreating the plugin will not help you.
The answer I think is to go into phpmyadmin, and edit your entry to give yourself permission as per previous answer.
The link above should give you sufficient to be able to find your entry and edit it.
I’m seeing this problem as well with bcc header. Users can see all the other users email addresses that are subscribed to a thread even though it says it is a bcc.
I use Siteground.com as a host. Siteground support says it is a WordPress or plugin issue.

Hello!
I would love to make it so, to post on other forums, users have to put a post in a Welcome forum, to introduce themselves. Does anyone know a plugin to make this work?
Thanks!
(latest version of wordpress and bbpress, bindebros.com)
http://www.animusesports.com/forums/topic/this-is-a-test/
bbpress Version 2.5.4
WordPress 4.1
For whatever reason, only my posts are visibly correct in post count under user avatar in the forums. Everyone else shows as having 0 posts. I’ve tried repairing each of the repairable items in the Tools>Forums to no avail.
Ideas?
Thanks in advance.
What’s the best way to do this over without losing the imported content and without taking risks of missing content not being imported initially on the hang up?
Make sure you back up both your WordPress and vBulletin databases – and try the import on a local server using something like MAMP.
It took a pretty long time just to do the topics. It didn’t start the users yet either. You’d think it would import users first?
It takes a long time. My vBulletin import took 17 hours last time I tried it! Biggish database tho.
The order should be (I think):
- Users
- Forums
- Topics
- Tags
- Replies
So check you had the ‘Attempt to import user accounts from previous forums’ checkbox ticked.
I was importing from my Vbulletin 4 and it went through converting topics, then it started converting tags and hung about 12,900. Is this a known bug?
Unlikely a bug. It seems there might be several reasons why it might ‘hang’. For example, if you are getting a line of ‘dashes’ this meaning you’re logged out of WordPress. It could be that one of your tags has some nasty data that is tripping the import, etc.
Hi 🙂
Well I am setting up a small community for a minecraft server and we have a plugin for minecraft that will sync the ranks in game to the website http://www.spigotmc.org/resources/communitybridge.2232/
So I am trying to replicate the ranks in game on the wordpress website.
The end goal is
InGameRank -> WordPressRole -> bbPressRole
Owner -> Owner -> Owner
Co-Owner -> Co-Owner -> Co-Owner
Admin -> Admin -> Admin
Moderator -> Moderator -> Moderator
Member -> Member -> Member
Guest -> Guest -> Guest
The owner would essentially be bbPress’s keymaster but I would like to define the capabilities of each role.
Using the code I posted I am unable to change my forum role.
I am currently still set as Administrator in the Site Role.
When I select my user in the dashboard and select change the forum role to the owner rank I created and click change it just reloads the page and my forum role is still keymaster.
I am able to change other users forum roles correctly.
My main question is how to get the wordpress roles to sync to the bbPress roles effectively making it so if i change the wordpress role the bbpress role will also change.
(what is up with the tag changes I did not put those)
@skisma
The shortcodes can be used on any wordpress page
so if fro instance you wanted a menu item that display the most recent 15 topics across all your forums, so that when people selected this menu item that what they saw, then you would
1. create a page – maybe called ‘latest topics’
2. put the shortcode into the content section in this case
[bbp-topic-index]
3. add that page to the menu
Sorry for the typos in the links. Tried Edit button but get a message saying I’m not allowed to edit my post 🙁
If I can get it right this time, the links to the plugins should be:
BuddyPress Group Email Subscription
and
BuddyPress Reply by Email
I run a support network Mailman email discussion group. Some members would prefer a forum. Others prefer email. The big advantage of the Mailman group is that everyone gets all the emails and we find people joining in discussion, when they wouldn’t necessarily have logged into a forum. And it’s quicker to reply by email than to log into a web forum. And easier on a phone. So everyone benefits. At the cost of inboxes becoming crowded on a busy day.
A compromise would be to have a forum that has email access – both notification of new posts and replies, and the ability to post messages and replies by email.
I’m new to forums and not sure where to begin.
Can I do this with bbPress? Or is it better to use BuddyPress?
Do I need plugins for the email functions?
I came across < href=”https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-group-email-subscription/”>BuddyPress Group Email Subscription and BuddyPress Reply by Email. Do these work with bpPress or only with the full BuddyPress? Are there other plugins that will work well?
By the way, it’s a private group and people should be able to keep their email addresses private if wished. I saw some posts here that said email addresses were CC in notifications instead of BCC, which is a problem. And other posts saying that BCC notifications weren’t getting through spam filters.
Sorry to leap in and ask so much in one go. I’m a bit lost trying to work out what setup to try.
Thank you.
Greeting from Alabama,
I am completely new BBpress but not so much with wordpress. I would like to add a tinymce editor that mimics the wordpress editor. I search the forum but most of the solutions seem out date or dont work. I have tried a couple plugins but they dont seem to affect the bbpress editor.
Searching through the examples of bbpress forums i found tamierlfoundry and would like to implement this tinymce editor
View post on imgur.com
Is there a tutorial on how this can be done
(I post this once before but it didnt show up as posted)
Hello all. Just a couple questions, because clearly I’m doing something wrong.
1) Is SMF.3.php on this page the correct final revision of the file needed to import?
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2380
2) Is that name of SMF.3.php correct, or should I rename it to SMF.php?
3) In what directory should I place the file?
4) In Tools > Forums > Import Forums > Select Platform, I have SMF, SMF.2, and SMF.3 available. I want SMF.3.php correct?
When I put SMF.3.php in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters and select “SMF.3” as the platform in the import tool, I get this message:
Fatal error: Class ‘SMF.3’ not found in /home/dark/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converter.php on line 1475
Would someone please set me straight on all this?
Hi, I was just following back up to see if you had info on how I could edit my server files to add key master to a user? It’s still not there and I can’t find a way to add it on the WordPress dashboard. Thanks.
