WP just updated to 3.8.3 (without my input…) so would that have some version of tinyMCE in it?

No, it is the same TinyMCE version that shipped with WordPress 3.8, the new TinyMCE v4 is included in WordPress 3.9 and should be available within the next 24 hours.

This topic can indeed stay open and if you could post an update after you have updated to WordPress 3.9 that would be helpful.

There are so many cool options right now! Besides private messages, like the plugin listed above, there is a chat at the bottom bar that users can chat with but it’s also one on one privately, it is iFly.

Also, the plugin Quick Chat can be integrated into bbPress in two different ways:

1. This chat plugin can be put into different WordPress pages with shortcodes, so you can put it on any pages at the top or bottom of your forums that are on WordPress pages using shortcode, or in any sidebar widget.

2. You can also use a different chat on each WordPress page using shortcode, so coupled with the plugins BuddyPress and BuddyPress Groups Extras (which adds extra pages to BuddyPress Groups) you can give each of your bbPress forum groups their own private chat!

[Halo Diehard]

If you name your forum root slug (in forum settings) the same as your WordPress shortcode page slug (in that page’s settings), doesn’t that sort out the url problem @robmcclel speaks of above?

[Halo Diehard]

Thanks so much, @netweb! So I can create a file called “editor-style.css”, and put it in my theme. Does it go in the root?

And I’m a little confused: doesn’t bbPress have it’s own editor that’s separate from WordPress? I have an awesome editor for WordPress, but it doesn’t show up for bbPress.

Edit: PS, I did not get an email that there was a reply on this, and it’s definitely checked…

I have updated my wordpress to the newer version, wordpress version: 3.8.3, bbpress version: 2.5.3.

I have a problem with “edit” on the front-end, if i want to edit a post then the page says: “The page you requested could not be found.”….

What can be done to prevent this problem? or to fix the problem?

the permalinks on my website are: /%postname%/%category%/

the url to edit the post is: http://…../…./…./…./post01/edit/

thanks for the answer.

Thanks Stephen, a useful link. I have now installed https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-auto-subscribe-for-new-topics-and-replies/ which does what I need.

But still my personal preference is for a single configurable tool (bbPress in this case) rather than a proliferation of different plugins.

In particular I am always uncomfortable using plugins that have no reviews. In this case I took a chance as I have seen other work by it’s author. I have now added a review for him, so at least there is no one!

try the following

rewrite rules
This could be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.

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.

come back and let us know if any of the above fixes

[Stephen Edgar]

There was a change to handle reply slug titles in bbPress 2.5

http://elitegamingcomputers.com/reply/operation-auctus-10/

http://elitegamingcomputers.com/reply/12078/

http://elitegamingcomputers.com/reply/operation-auctus-12/

http://elitegamingcomputers.com/reply/12095/

The above is what the updated slugs should be though as those replies were created before the 2.5 update they a) don’t work though that is what format your new slugs would use.

Looking at a recent topic http://elitegamingcomputers.com/topic/hello-everyone-3/ your reply to that topic is and works fine: http://elitegamingcomputers.com/reply/17556/

Thus this will only affect your pre bbPress 2.5 replies and there are probably a couple of options available if you wanted to retrospectively apply this to your pre 2.5 replies either with a custom PHP repair tool or directly in phpMyAdmin to grab each reply and copy it’s post ID to the post_name field in the wp_posts table.

EDIT: If you want to see the code and ticket background on this change see this and this

[Stephen Edgar]

Cool, glad your up and running, it also looks like you haven’t run the repair tools to update the counts. Go to the WordPress Dashboard -> Tools -> Forums and run each of those to update the counts.

[Stephen Edgar]

I think this is what you are after https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-private-replies/

Spending a lot of time with different setting on role – keymaster and moderator. no success 🙁 What I wanted was, to have another keymaster person to manage the forum but doesn’t want this person to have access to the wordpress back-end or plugin etc but only can add/edit/delete forum/topic and replies. Though I have set WP: ‘no role for this site’ and forum role: keymaster, but this person can see forum/topic and replies fine. But this role also see forum tools – which he/she can ‘repair/import and reset forum’ and “Forums Settings”.
How to disable the ‘Forum Tools’ and ‘Forums Settings’? Thanks

This is not a bbPress issue, bbPress only uses the standard WordPress avatars.

Check out the FAQ and/or support forum for the plugin you are using that let’s users upload their own avatar.

The WordPress language pack for zh_CH includes the following code:
https://i18n.trac.wordpress.org/browser/zh_CN/tags/3.8.1/dist/wp-content/languages/zh_CN.php#L84

83	/**
84	 * Youku wp_embed handler

93	 */
94	function wp_embed_handler_youku( $matches, $attr, $url, $rawattr ) {
95	        $embed = sprintf(
96	                '<embed src="http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/%1$s/v.swf" allowFullScreen="true" quality="high" width="480" height="400" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>',
97	                esc_attr( $matches['video_id'] ) );
98	
99	        return apply_filters( 'embed_youku', $embed, $matches, $attr, $url, $rawattr );
100	}
101	wp_embed_register_handler( 'youku',
102	        '#https?://v\.youku\.com/v_show/id_(?<video_id>[a-z0-9_=\-]+)#i',
103	        'wp_embed_handler_youku' );

So as you should be able to have this in WordPress posts and pages etc that ‘should’ flow on down to bbPress to allow you to use youku 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

Hi 🙂

bbPress follows WordPress list here https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds

Oh…. Look… You should be able to 🙂

Are you running WordPress with define('WPLANG', 'zh_CH'); in your wp-config.php?

[Stephen Edgar]

WordPress can only have one page titled page_name and use the slug page_name thus this then extends to bbPress.

I thought we had a bbPress ticket for this on Trac but I can’t find it right now https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org

[Stephen Edgar]

There are a few bbPress signature plugins, maybe one of these will do what you are looking for
https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=signature+bbpress

[Stephen Edgar]

It shouldn’t have done that 🙁

I’d suggest going to ‘Tools’ -> ‘Forums’ and resetting your forums which will delete all forums, topics and replies and optionally imported users and have another go at it.

You would probably be best setting up a test install of WordPress and bbPress to make sure the import finishes successfully.

If you find it keeps doing this please create a support ticket in Trac and I’ll take a look at why it isn’t working. https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

[Stephen Edgar]

Here is another way to do custom profile fields:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/user_contactmethods

bbPress will display any of of these fields you add or remove for a users profile page, as many of few as you like.

[Stephen Edgar]

If when you decide to come back to this you’ll want to use the_excerpt

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt

There are varios examples scattered throught this site also

https://bbpress.org/forums/search/the_excerpt/

[Stephen Edgar]

This could be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.

[Stephen Edgar]

There are a couple of weird things happen with bbPress and setting them to ‘private’ from the backend, we just haven’t tested it thoroughly enough.

There is a ticket on Trac somewhere, can’t find it at the moment though 🙁 https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org

There is also a plugin that gives each user their own forum that no other users can see, I am not sure if moderators have access to this forum or just the user and the keymaster.

The name of that plugin? I have no idea, I can’t remember the name of it, what I do remember is that this feature has nothing to do with the name of the plugin nor is the feature even included in the description. It is an idea not fully implemented and approx 75% of the code is just sitting in the background doing nothing. So if I remember what it is I’ll come back and update this. 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

There are a few plugins that offer this functionality: https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=bbpress+subscribe

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

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.
