Hi

I’m back after a while. 😉
After a lot of research, enabling, disabling this & that, I discovered this issue only comes up if the recipepress reloaded plugin is activated.

It is recommended for the main recipe page to be at /recipes.
If you first install this, then whatever you do, bbpress will not be accessible at the recommended & preferred /forums.
Instead as explained above, if you try to access the forums at /forums, whereas the url remains correct & pointing to /forums, the content of the blog front page is loaded & if I remember well, any latest forum content appears listed as one of the normal blog posts!

I tried however to uninstall bbpress & disabled all other plugins, including the recipe plugin, then re-installed bbpress. The set up run normally & the forums were accessible at /forums. When I reactivated recipepress reloaded, all its links, including /recipes returned a page not found error. It is only when bbpress is disabled that the recipe pages are accessible again.

Conclusion: both plugins cannot run together, at least with default settings (?).

Quite perplexed regarding what to do next since the site has to shortly go online & both the recipe & forum sections are integral partS. I cannot put off the issue any longer.

In suggestion above, you suggested an alternative solution of using shortcodes.
I discovered at the that the forum I created, or at least it seemed works independent of the settings on the bbpress settings & admin pages & everything had to be done with shortcodes(?), or is there a possibility of an equivalent central admin area?
Or am I mistaken?

Ideally, a solution to the apparent conflict between the 2 plugins would be great, but if it cannot be gotten (any time soon/at all), is there any equally easy way to manage forums created via shortcodes?

Some further guidance would be very much appreciated.

Regards

You shouldn’t be using ‘bbconverter’, bbPress 2.x includes its own importer now and is in fact that very same plugin now included within the core of bbPress. There has also been vast improvements and bug fixes to both the converter and the bbPress 1.x importer.

From your WordPress Dashboard -> Tools -> Forums -> Import

1) Close the topic. But it seems like subscribe-notifications are only sent when the topic is open. Is there a fix for that?

I’m kind of thinking we should allow notifications to be sent from topics that have been closed.

Can you create a ticket on Trac and we can make a decision and fix this, I’m unable to test and confirm this behaviour at the moment but the ticket will remind me 🙂

I’m running WordPress 4.01, bbpress 2.5.4 and buddypress 2.1.1. I have one forum installed and I have just created a second forum. The problem is when I create the second forum it basically picks up all the topics and menu choices of the original forum. The original forum is private and is password protected. I don’t want the 2nd forum private but public nor have the topics or menu choices of the original forum and not password protected. I basically want it to be it’s own forum separate from the original one. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Create a ticket on Trac and we’ll take a look at adding support for Jetpack Markdown

im kind of leanging that you might need some custom development for this

Wordpress 4.0.1 running Tempera theme.
bbPress Forum

I have all of my sub forums sitting in a master forum on my site. At the end of the page there is
Oh bother! No topics were found here!

I don’t want to have any topics for the master forum. It’s only purpose is to house the sub forums.
It’s status is closed, but Oh Bother still appears.

I have searched here but failed to find a solution.

I would be grateful for any help in removing this from the Forum.

Here is the forum. it’s still under construction.

I’ve searched these forums and found mostly technical replies from developers (I’m semi-technical so making up some code from scratch and knowing where to stick it is out of my league).

I’ve tried “Everything Search” which does not index topics.

I’ve tried free “Relevanssi” search which has a check-box for tpics but shows them as “not public” (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-relevanssi-search-include-bbpress-forms-topics-and-replies?replies=3)

I’ve tried various snippets that I found via google search – each with additions to functions.php a couple don’t work, and a third actually works, but it blanks-out the topic pages (the page is still there but the text of the topic and replies is missing).

I’ve enabled Jetpack “omnisearch” which has no options but still doesn’t show the topics in the search results.

Please point me to where I can find information to modify my WordPress, Theme, or BBPress installation so that search results from the main form include topics!!!

Thank you!!!

P.S. My website http://www.hippressurecooking.com – I have lots of forum topics discussing Christmas Puddings but if you search for “pudding” on the main website all you get is the posts & pages with the word “pudding” and none of the topics with valuable info.

P.P.S. I have search enabled in the forums, but in addition to that I would like the results all in one place from the basic WordPress search that shows up on every page.

I am looking for a way to block Participant user level to create new topics in the Forum but allow replies on the topics.

I tried a plugin called bbPress Protected Forums(https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-protected-forums/) but it doesn’t seem to work probably because it hasn’t been updated since long.

I will really like some quick help on this

Wordpress version: 4.0
bbpress version: 2.5.4

[Robin W]

yes, use this in addition to bbpress

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

Wordpress insists that you ether an email address, but you only need enter something that looks valid.

So for instance for my non existent test users, I simply create their accounts with a dummy unique email address such as

testuser1@qhqhttyweyywttw.com
testuser2@qhqhttyweyywttw.com

Then just give you users their username and initial password, and ask them to change the password.

Once that is done, there are no additional security risks in setting them up this way, as the only risk is of they click ‘lost password’ and that will send an email to the (hopefully!) non-existent user email above, hence the horrible email address above.

You could even disable password reset

and stop that happening

I am new to this plugin and to running a forum. I am just a volunteer English teacher obsessed with WP.
My user count will be microscopic, a handful of people. (my ESL students)
Many of my users will not have email addresses, have not ever used PCs and do not have PCs at home – experience has shown me it is impractical to provide email initially.

Is there an option to register users without email addresses?
If I leave the forums open without registration – what are the potential issues, security or otherwise? If any?

(I do not know how to set up any WP registrations anyway!)
– WP 4.1/bbPress 2.5.4. MultiSite install.
– I have dedicated a MultiSite subsite to bbPress.
– I have Askimet and Conditional CAPTCHA https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-conditional-captcha/

Any suggestions or input about plugins, if this is a bad idea, etc. will be appreciated.

Hi All,

I am getting same issue with the following message when define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true) is set. Could you please tell me how to remove this notice instead of turning off the define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true) to define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false)

Message: “Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in \wp-includes\functions.php on line 3245” ( line 3245 is in function _doing_it_wrong() )

It’s urgent for me please reply asap.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I’ve changed the background color in my bbpress forum but for some reason the background color is not affecting the padding (or so it seems). I’ve searched online and found I may need to add overflow:hidden and even overflow:auto. I’ve tried to add this to many many variations and combinations of IDs and CLASSes (there are so many!) but I can’t figure it out.

I’m using a child theme from the 2014 WordPress theme but didn’t change too much.

My forum is at: http://www.pippenings.com/rv-living/rv-motorhome-life-forum/

Here is the CSS styling I’ve added to the forum so far (minus the child theme’s styling which was mostly used for changing colors…)

Can you please help me out?

#forums-list-0 .bbp-forum-title {
	font-size:1.6em;
	text-decoration:none;
}

#forums-list-0 .bbp-forum-title a:link {
	text-decoration:none;
}

#entry-content #bbpress-forums {
	background-color:#232d36;
	overflow:auto;

}

#bbpress-forums ul, #bbpress-forums li {
	background-color:#232d36;
		overflow:auto;

}

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies, bbp-body, #bbpress-forums p {
	background-color:#232d36;
}
#bbpress-forums ul.forums-list-0 li.bbp-body {
	background-color:#232d36 !important;
		overflow:auto;

Hi, I can’t figure out how to create a new topic so i’m choosing this topic to post in because its topic title is the closest to what I’m needing help with.

the Private Groups plugin needs bbPress so both.

Robins got you just in case you forgot about the topic in his plugin support forum

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/do-i-need-bbpress-as-well#post-6308430

[Robkk]

im kind of leanging that you might need some custom development for this

jobs.wordpress.net/

but im not sure if this kind of plugin is what you are after

wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-digest/

highlight and search these links in google

Hi everyone. I am currently working on a Turkish site which uses Buddypress as well.
The translation here seems to be a great start, but it seems to be incomplete as well:

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.5.x/tr/default

Do you by any chance know of a more complete version (if I understand correctly. Cagatay has combined multiple ressources / “I download bbpress turkish files from various sources”)

Would you mind sharing your language files with me? Maybe we can alspo work together in translating the remaining fields so we all end up with a complete set in the Turkish language.
All the best.

[Robkk]

as long as attachments means something like media like images and vides

bbPress does not support this unless you have another plugin from the WordPress repository.

contact the plugin author of the plugin you are using for support

or get some custom development done here

http://jobs.wordpress.net/

[Robkk]

theres a bunch of plugins that do this type of thing

badge OS like you said
mycred can show some badges
achievements for wordpress also does this
userpro has this kind of thing too

do a search and see what is the best fit for you

[Robkk]

does this plugin help your situation??

Hi, my needs are pretty simple. I’m looking for an alternative to google groups. I need a place in my WordPress site where only members can post and only members can read the posts. And I need a way for members to receive one email each time there is a new post. There needs to be an archive that members can consult to dig around and find a particular post from the past.

I have had various frustrations with google groups and yahoo groups. In theory the way they work would suit our group just fine, but in practice, there have been some problems, so now it’s time to look for an alternative.

As you can see, I don’t need to do anything fancy. My question is, shall I install the Private Groups plugin, the bbpress plugin, or both?

Thank you.

Hi, I tried to file that on trac, but it seems not working today… anyway the issue is very simple. When notifications are sent, the from email address is composed as:

$do_not_reply = ‘<noreply@’ . ltrim( get_home_url(), ‘^(http|https)://’ ) . ‘>’;

but for blogs installed in subdirs that creates wrong email address. It should be better to follow the technique used by WordPress, which extracts the domain name and uses and address wordpress@mydomain.com.

More, some providers does not allow emails from unknown mailboxes and blog owners are used to register a mailbox for “wordpress”, so it should be better to use that address, or let to specify a different one.

Thank you, Stefano.
