Hi! I have a little problem, my page is http://mutriku-gaming.com/wordpress/forums/ if you enter you will see that name of forums is not a “Foros”(Forums in spanish) is a title of the blog post.

I have installed a forum-loop.php but I don´t think that’s it.

Thanks

probably a theme or plugin problem

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

wordpress is post software and has posts and comments

bbpress is forum software, so it has forums, topics and replies

so people will reply to topics, not comment on them !

so I would

1. deactivate buddypress
2. switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve and see if people can now reply to topics, you are only doing this to see if your theme has an issue with replies.
3. let us know whether you are allowing anonymous posting, or whether you onlt want topics/replies from registered users?

Also, how do I just let people see the topics and not the forum?

umm, not sure what you mean, either you have a forum or your have posts and comments, you can’t have forum topics with post comments 🙂

@trymedo – ok try this version, it should determine if it is the resultant list being queried, or the process of getting to the list that is causing issues. Basically it does your suggested post__not_in.

This is only for Tom, and is just a testing version

Personally I hate the toolbar – it should only be there for admins !

I switch it off and use a menu item

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

Hi,

After reading the importer
I’ve recently migrated my phpBB forum to bbPress, but I have noted a few issues with the import/repair process. Does anybody have any suggestions as to what’s going wrong with any/all of these:

Forum import – The documentation states that stickies will not be imported, however I after doing the import I have around 20 ‘super-stickies’ which, looking at the old forum, are a mixture of announcements and stickies. I’d rather these weren’t converted to anything, and as far as I’m aware they shouldn’t be (https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2126)

User import – During the import, I (the main WordPress admin user) seem to have had quite a lot of forums, topics and replies linked to my user. I wasn’t a user on the previous phpBB forum at all so I’m not sure why I’ve adopted these posts. Or any posts for that matter.

Repair tools – All the repair tasks seem to work ok, except for two:
– Recalculate the position of each reply
– Remap existing users to default forum roles
These two tasks end up white-screening with no status messages at all.

User Login Conversion – User logins are converted correctly when using the standard wordpress login screen but now when using my custom frontend ajax login – does anyone know if there’s a way to get that to work? A seperate topic has been started about that here: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-login-authentication-migrated-phpbb-users/

Any advice on any of these steps would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
I’m very new to both WordPress and bbPress, so my apologies if this is a very easy problem to resolve!

Whilst poking about trying figure stuff out in the bbpress/includes/admin/functions.php, I received the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /home/content/65/5240765/html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/functions.php on line 303

I’ve checked through the code to try and find the ‘}’ but couldn’t spot it (there is no line 303 – it only goes up to 294), and tried to fix it by replacing the wrong code with the original code but it still gives the same error. I’m not entirely sure what I’ve done even after extensive google/forum searches, so I’ve copied the code into paste bin in case anyone can help me out.

http://pastebin.com/X9FsvsR1

The website doesn’t appear to be broken from the front end in any way, it’s just the back end that’s messed up.

I’m using WordPress vers 3.9.1 and bbPress vers 2.5.4, the theme is BigFeature.

Thanks in advance!

[K-Path]

WordPress 3.9.1
TwentyTen with some CSS modification
bbPress 2.5.4

This what my bbPress looks like now

hcrd bbPress screen capture
This is close to what I want my bbPress installation to look like I didn’t pull the line spaces together in the image.

I may be completely wrong and these settings may all be controlled by the TwentyTen theme and WordPress. In either case I’ll do the work if somebody can just point me to the right information so I can learn.

bbPress Wishlist

Make the forum’s Search window persistent, available from within all forums.

Move the Forum Title and the Search Window so they are parallel and within 20 pixels or less of main menu (white on black menu).

Make the Categories’ and Forums’ names BOLD and make them 1.00 line or less apart from their descriptions which should NOT be bold.

Instead of a specific pixel width can the area of the post to the BBS be calibrated in percent or at least be 640px or even better 800px width?

Finally, why are my category and forum names duplicated?

[Stephen Edgar]

They are separate taxonomies in the WordPress database, with some custom code and templates I am quite sure you could do this.

Probably a good starting point would be looking at ‘Multiple Taxonomies’ here https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query#Taxonomy_Parameters

[Stephen Edgar]

Hmmm… There ‘might’ be something else at play here, I had a weird issue myself late last week that I am still trying to determine what it actually is with the WordPress WXR Export/Import, I have a sneaking suspicion it has something to do with the imported ID’s not matching the post_parent ID.

I’ll dig around more on this later in the week when I finish up the bbPress 2.x importer (it’s 75% complete), so watch out for any patches added to this bbPress ticket #2605

[celtichero]

I started a similar topic on wordpress.org – but I wasn’t sure where the best place would be (here I suppose!)

I’ve done some Googling here, and I’ve found a few topics that apparantly fix this, but…I’m not seeing the same info in my own site (the database info that theyre referring to isnt there..) I’m sure someone will point me to those older posts 😛

So I want to start with a fresh question – I want to start TOTALLY fresh with BBPRess, so I deleted the forums and whatnot and then uninstalled BBPress…later I reinstalled it but on the main dashboard I see this in one of the little info boxes on the right hand side: “Right now in Forums” and then it shows a few forums and topics, etc, that don’t exist…I want to remove those. Is there any way to do that?

I tried looking in the database through PHPMyAdmin and I don’t see anything named “bb_” to delete, so what’s the next step? :/

Thanks SO much in advance.

I’m using the latest version of WP and BBPress, btw and the twenty fourteen theme, if any of that helps.

My bbpress forum tags are separate from normal WordPress post tags.
Is these any way i could combine both so that if i add a tag for example “health” in normal WordPress post it would also be seen as tags in forums. If a user clicks on a tag he gets results from both normal WordPress posts and forum posts as well.

[sacredandsequential]

Ok, I did as you suggested, and the WordPress export/import functions seemed to run pretty well. In the dashboard, it now claims I have all my topics and replies.

…Yet, when I got to the forum page itself, it says, “Oh bother! No topics were found here!” This, despite the fact that it lists the number of topics and replies at the top. How can I get them recognized/visible?

See http://www.sacredandsequential.org/?p=705

[Robin W]

ok, funnily enough there is no ‘importer’ for bbpress 2.x – it is in plan, but not yet written

You can use
on the old site
tools>export and select forums topics and replies
on the new site
tools>import (and select wordpress if needed)

But this is not perfect – if you don’t have the users matching between sites, then this will/can/may (not sure which) fail.

How have you set users up on the new site?

[PinkishHue]

Have you tried switching to the WordPress default theme (or another basic theme)? This will tell you if it’s a theme problem or something else.

It seems like it may be a CSS issue.

[sacredandsequential]

I have started http://www.sacredandsequential.org just recently, and I am trying to move over the forums from http://www.captionbox.net. Both domains are running WordPress 3.9.1 and the bbPress 2.5.4. The forums can be found at http://www.captionbox.net/forums/forum/empanelment/

After going to Tools -> Forums and selecting the Import Forums tab, I am entering what I believe to be all of my correct database information. (The only info I am uncertain of is the Table Prefix, but I have tried wp_bb_, forums_, forum_, and even utf8_ to no avail.)

Would anyone have advice as to what I’m overlooking or how to remedy this? I would rather not abandon all the discussions we’ve had leading up to this new site!

Please help!

[thecatholicwoman]

None of the links work I followed all of the steps indicated here http://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/#3-%C2%A0creating-a-forum-page

It is not a compatibility issue because even before I had someone add the DIVI theme to the CSS for me the links were not working and I thought that it was because it was not incorporated into my theme.

My website is thecatholicwoman.com
Direct link t the forum below.

I am using WordPress 3.9.1
and BBpress 2.5.4

Thanks so much for any help that you can provide.

[Robkk]

Hello,

We are working on a WordPress site using a theme.

The website url is: http://tottoncollege.wpengine.com/

The theme is called Smartmag: http://themeforest.net/item/smartmag-responsive-retina-wordpress-magazine/6652608

We want forum functionality and were going to use bbPress, but as soon as we activate the plugin the featured slider breaks and stops displaying properly. We think this is a javascript related issue, but we aren’t quite sure what exactly the issue is.

Please can you advise? We can provide login details to the staging area if needed.

Thanks!

[ajshanahan]

Ok, thanks for your time and help @netweb. I’ve asked @gdragon on the Toolbox support forum but he said it was a BBpress thing:

This is purely WordPress/bbPress feature and my plugin has nothing to do with this. My plugin adds extra control to the WP editor you can use for bbPress, and you can use that to enable different features (like button). But, the way all that actually work is beyond this plugin, and depends on WordPress and bbPress only.
But, you are correct that Participant has no capability to upload files, but I think that bbPress handles this wrong and should not allow media button to be visible in the first place if user has no capability. You need to add ‘upload_files’ capability to bbp_participant user role to enable this.

I am now at the point where I simply need to know how to add ‘upload_files’ to bbp_participant – do you know Steve? Alternatively, do you know how I add a new user type into the BBPress environment (as shown here – http://screencast.com/t/raxzzyIuSL)

Many thanks again.

[Stephen Edgar]

I’m not frustrated, though I fully understand where you are coming from 😉

It is as simple as (to me at least) that bbPress does NOT include ANY support for uploading attachments, this includes any role or capability to facilitate that.

That said, there is the plugin “GD bbPress attachments” that adds support to bbPress to upload attachments, how it does this and what changes it makes to either bbPress or WordPress roles and capabilities I do not know, as I stated above I have not looked closely at it (i.e. I have not looked at the source code to see how it works)

If you want attachments in bbPress that is the ONLY solution I know of. 🙂

[Robin W]

Thanks for that, it lets me know that there are two of you with the issue (so far – there will be more!)

When does the error occur – as soon as you enter the website, when you enter the forums or some other action?

Can you also tell me

What versions of
Bbpress
Wordpress

You are using

And what theme

And what plugins.

Hi,

I have a custom wordpress theme which I also use a child theme and I know to edit and customize the buddypress theme you need to place the files such as archive-forum.php in your child theme folder or main theme folder.

I was wondering is it possible to have a folder for all the bbpress main theme components so that they don’t clutter up my main child theme?

In the plugin all the main theme files are stored in a folder called extra, I would like to be able to have a folder called extra in my child theme and have worpdress recognize all the bbpress theme files.
