    Hi everyone, this is my first time posting, and I really dig BBPress so far.

    I’m running WP v3.8.1 with BBPress 2.5.3. I’ve encountered a problem when converting a custom MYSQL database into BBPress. I have successfully exported a Lotus Notes / Domino DB (yes, it still exists…) into a simple MySQL DB containing just 3 tables.

    After a “successful” conversion (of over 35K forums, topics and replies) into BBPress, I can see all of the Forums, Topics, and Replies listed in the BBPress Admin panel. However, there seems to be issues with the Foreign Keys being imported/linked, even though I have double and triple checked the forum_id, topic_id values for the Topics->Forums and Replies->Topics relationships within the Example.php converter included with BBPress. All data has been properly formatted into WordPress friendly values (dates, slugs, etc..) before importing into MySQL.

    In the admin panel, under Forums, it lists all forums in their hierarchical order, as expected. It also lists the topic and reply counts, date, and creator next to each parent / child forum. However, under “Freshness” is says “No Topics”. The Topics Admin page is even more intriguing; it lists all of the Topic Titles, the Forum title which that topic is assigned to (!), reply count, author, creation date, and freshness. Browsing to the Replies Admin page lists all reply titles, author, and creation date, however under Forum it says “No Forum” and under Topic it says “No Topic”.

    When you browse to the forums (mysite.local/forums/forum/the-forum), the forum title and child-forums are displayed, along with topic and reply counts for each child. However, under “Freshness”, it says “No Topics”. When I browse to a child forum, it lists the topic and reply counts, however it says “No Topics were found”.

    When I browse to a topic (mysite.local/forums/topic/the-topic), I see the date, title, content, and reply count. However, there are no replies listed.

    When I browse to a reply (by clicking “View” under the reply listed in the Admin Replies page), it directs me to http://mysite.dev/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply/#post-######, saying “Invalid Post Type”.

    I figured this would be rather straightforward, since I am not importing Users or Tags. Eventually I would like all authors to be “Archived Author”, should I try to tackle this now or after a fully successful import?

    I can supply screen shots, converter output (which really says nothing unexpected), or the full source code for the converter if needed. I’ve included my table structure and simplified converter code for reference.

    I hope that someone with a bit more experience converting forums for BBPress will be able to shed some light on this, my forehead is really starting to hurt from banging my head against the wall. It seems there is very limited information out there on this converter. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

    My tables to import/convert are laid out as follows:

    forums table {
      forum_id  PRIMARY KEY INT(11)
      title
      slug
      parent_id (Self referencing FK)
      last_mod (DATETIME)
      num_topics
      num_replies
    }
    topics table {
      topic_id PRIMARY KEY INT(11)
      parent_id FK (set to 0 for no parent)
      forum_id FK (matches corresponding <code>forums</code>.forum_id)
      subject (title)
      slug (slug of title)
      body (the post content)
      from
      date
      date_gmt
      num_replies
    }
    replies table {
      reply_id PRIMARY KEY INT(11)
      topic_id FK INT(11) (matches corresponding <code>topics</code>.topic_id)
      forum_id FK INT (11) (matches corresponding <code>forums</code>.forum_id)
      date
      date_gmt
      subject
      body
    }

    And now, here’s the converter I’m using (starting at the Forum section Line#26 of /plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters/Example.php). I’ve removed commented lines for brevity.

    Hi All,

    I have the weirdest error. I have a WordPress 3.8.1 installation with Akismet 2.6.0, bbPress 2.5.3 and a couple of other plugins.

    It has been running fine for a year or so. We recently moved server, and did a “point” version update to latest versions.

    Today I found a problem I’ve not seen before: if one posts a forum post whose titles start with the letters “Se”, you get a 404 error when viewing the post. The post itself shows up in the forum listing and is editable with correct text but won’t show up when you click on the link in the forum listing.

    Post title variants like “Secretary”, “Secretary Test” “Sec” all generate the error. A post with title “Sacretary” does not, nor do any other posts test titles I’ve tried.

    Has anyone got the faintest idea what could be going on here?

    Cheers, Hywel Phillips

    I am very excited to start using this for my organization. On my forum page I selected the login widget to show on the sidebar widget area along with a few other widgets. But they only show when Im already logged-in. I’m not sure what setting I’m missing, but I need people to be able to register when they first log-on.

    if not threaded, clicking the bbp-reply-to-link can get #new-post form focused.
    But, when threaded, the onClick function seems not working. Instead of moving or creating the post form, it reload the page and add query vars.
    I’m with bbpress2.5.3, and wordpress 3.8.1

    Topic: theme – front end

    in forum Themes

    I like this bbPress theme – http://bbpress.org/forums/ especially where user/member can’t access to the standard wordpress backend, but a nice and clean ‘front end’ only. How can I get a theme like this? or can I get any theme but use a special plugin to restrict members/users from access to the backend?
    Thank you

    Robin, the issue here is if you look at his site you also see the text Door

    Thus it is not just the image being loaded in ‘whatever’ template is loading bbPress it is also adding that text.

    Ahhh.. It’s a Genesis theme…. Are you using the Genesis Extend bbPress plugin?

    You need this https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/ 🙂

    No bbPress doesn’t have it’s own theme, it uses your wordpress one.

    It does have styling and can (but doesn’t have to) use a custom page, so you can make it look as much the same or as different as you like.

    Hi, new to bbPress. Been doing a lot of reading. Can I confirm if bbPress has its own theme and plugin? does it mean I can’t use the standard wordpress theme and plugin on bbPress? Thanks

    In reply to: main page customize

    Stephen Edgar

    Start by checking out the docs in the codex.

    There are some good examples of what you need to do to achieve this.

    First you need to customize your bbPress templates per:

    https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

    The https://pl.forums.wordpress.org/ site is a custom page named page-forums.php with snippets of the code from various bbPress templates.

    So start digging around the codex and as bbPress is made ‘the WordPress way’ to customize bbPress templates is the same ideology as customizing a WordPress theme.

    As bbPress is a plugin for WordPress it uses the exact same database tables so it is either a theme issue of the bbPress plugin is corrupted. Try deleting the plugin and reinstalling it.

    I am new to bbPress and I’m pretty astounded by how incomplete out of the box this thing is. I’m really trying to love it but at every turn I’m experiencing a disconnect… : (

    What do you mean exactly?
    I’ll add this for starters, making bbPress templates compatible with every WordPress theme in existence is not possible ‘out of the box’ we do try to do our best though 🙂

    I have just had a quick look at the theme authors site and there is very little publicly accessible info available so I can’t link you to that. It would also be worth looking at their support forums to see if any others have had issues and/or fixes when using bbPress

    Support

    1. How do new users login/find password? I’ve already created pages with the short code and added it to the widgets. Doesn’t work.

    For this you will need to make sure bbPress is using a template from your theme that includes a sidebar. If you look in your theme folder you will probably find a file named page-sidebar.php, make a copy of that file and rename it to bbpress.php and now bbPress will use template for all your bbPress pages like forums, topics etc

    Once the sidebar is present that will also fix the login issue as you have the login widget set for your sidebar.

    This will be more of a WordPress issue than bbPress.

    See this doc to help you get it sorted https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress

    If you have more issues with this part (i.e. Not bbPress) post in the WP Support forums https://wordpress.org/support/

    I just installed bbPress on my site. I wanted to change the setting from disallow editing after 5 minutes to 10 minutes but when I click save changes I get a “Cheatin’ uh?” Page. Even if I don’t change anything and click save changes I still get the “Cheatin’ uh?” page. Why is this and how can I get it to save my changes?

    I installed bbPress version 2.5.3 and my WordPress version is 3.8.1. I’ve also installed W3 Total Cache Plugin. I have disabled minify of HTML & XML but have JS minify enabled and CSS.

    Thanks in advance.

    ok, yes I can probably fix your code above, and if you want to continue down that road, I’ll do some digging when I get a moment – just come back and let me know.

    However having looked at a solution for doing this at forum level I’ve sorted a different way to do this which works at topic level and seems much neater for the user, but will require a very small amount of discipline when posting a topic, but which solves both issues above.

    It takes a little setting up, and apologies that I sent you down the 404 route before I found this maybe (or maybe not) better way !

    So this solution requires that
    You have users set at wordpress to subscriber (or above) and at bbpress as participant (or above)
    that you have a separate menu item for your private forum – as users don’t see the private forum on the index when not logged in, and that this url is used in messages rather than the direct forum id (logged in users will have both choices – menu item and forum index!)

    If that’s ok, then set the forum up as follows – looks long, but is quite easy

    This solution

      uses the restrict content plugin to create a login prompt if the user is not logged on
      sets the forums to private so that they are not seen on the main index
      creates a page just for that forum, which the restrict content plugin can then use to display the need to be logged in message and login boxes
      Any topics created in the forum that need specific urls in newsletters etc. are set to subscriber – 30 seconds additional work!)

    1.Install “restrict content” plugin
    Dashboard>plugins>add new
    search for “Restrict Content” and it’s then one called just that
    Install and activate
    2. go into dashboard>settings>restrict content and add the following text (you can tailor it to say what you want) to all the options
    Sorry, you need to be a member to see this area. Login if need be [bbp-login]
    3. Go into Dashboard>forums>whichever forum and change to visibility ‘private’. This will stop this forum being seen in the main index unless logged in, so we’ll need to add a menu item later on so not logged in users can see it
    4. Find out the ID of the forum you have set to private
    This link shows you how
    http://www.authorcode.com/forums/topic/how-to-get-forum-id-in-bbpress/
    5. Create a new page called whatever eg “free speech forum”
    and put the following code into it
    [bbp-single-forum id=2922] where the id number is the number that you found out in 4. above
    6. Within this page you’ll also see below the main text you’ve just entered a new box called “restrict content” set this to subscriber (or higher is you’re really restricting).
    7. add this page to your menu’s if need be

    ALL THE ABOVE ONLY NEEDS TO BE DONE ONCE !

    If a user is logged in, and selects the menu item, they’ll just go straight into the forum.
    If they are not logged in and select the menu item, they’ll get the message you set up in 2. above together with the login boxes and having logged in will see the forum

    For topics :

    where you want a logon prompt to appear – presumably only topics in the newsletter (as it is only these that people will be entering a direct url for) – you need to go into Dashboard>topics and underneath the text you’ll see the restrict content box, change this to subscriber and they’ll get the prompt if not logged on !

    give it a go, or come back and say you want to carry down the 404 route and I’ll try and help you further on that !

    ok, quick solution for you

    This solution

      uses the restrict content plugin to create a login prompt if the user is not logged in
      sets the forums to private so that they are not seen on the main index
      creates a page just for that private forum, which the restrict content plugin can then use to display the need to be logged in message and login boxes

    It does rely on you setting your users to at least wordpress subscriber level – as the plugin only works on wordpress levels, but that should be fine for most uses.

    1.Install “restrict content” plugin
    Dashboard>plugins>add new
    search for “Restrict Content” and it’s then one called just that
    Install and activate
    2. go into dashboard>settings>restrict content and add the following text (you can tailor it to say what you want) to all the options
    Sorry, you need to be a member to see this area. Login if needbe [bbp-login]
    3. Go into Dashboard>forums>whichever forum and change to visibility ‘private’. This will stop thisn forum being seen in the main index unless logged in, so we’ll need to add a menu item later on so not logged in users can see it
    4. Find out the ID of the forum you have set to private
    This link shows you how
    http://www.authorcode.com/forums/topic/how-to-get-forum-id-in-bbpress/
    5. Create a new page called whatever eg “free speech forum”
    and put the following code into it
    [bbp-single-forum id=2922] where the id number is the number that you found out in 4. above
    6. Within this page you’ll also see below the main text you’ve just entered a new box called “restrict content” set this to subscriber (or higher if you’re really restricting).
    7. add this page to your menu’s if need be

    If a user is logged in, and sleects the menu item, they’ll just go straight into the forum.

    If they are not logged in and select the menu item, they’ll get the message you set up in 2. above together with the login boxes and having logged in will see the forum

    give it a go, and come back if anything is not clear

    To fix the ‘subscribe’ link add this to your themes functions.php file or your bbpress-functions.php file in your theme directory.

    To change from Home › Forums › My ForumSubscribe
    To change to Home › Forums › My Forum (Subscribe)

    function ntwb_forum_subscription_link( $args ) {
        $args['before'] = '&nbsp;(';
        $args['after']  = ')';
     
        return $args;
    }
     
    add_filter( 'bbp_before_get_forum_subscribe_link_parse_args', 'ntwb_forum_subscription_link' );

    If you don’t want to add it manually add it to your functions.php file grab the entire file here and add it as a standalone plugin to your WordPress install.

    I’m not sure/clear what you mean for your ‘freshness’ issue, can you post a screenshot or link to your site please 🙂

    I know, I put e-mail and forums myself for easy access for my Contributors. I was using the Admin Menu Editor plug-in – https://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-menu-editor/

    I decided to de-activate and delete it. That did fix the problem.

    Hi,

    Title says it all really. I am trying to customise the recent topics widget; using it to display topics from a specific forum; and I would like the title to link to the forum from which the topics are from.

    I have registered a sidebar for this in my functions.php file and I’ve tried the following code, but it doesnt work as its not adding the URL into the title:

    register_sidebar(
    		array(
    			'id' => 'forumcontent',
    			'name' => __( 'Forum Home Content - Colleges', 'textdomain' ),
    			'description' => __( 'A short description of the sidebar.', 'textdomain' ),
    			'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget-topic-list %2$s">',
    			'after_widget' => '</div>',
    			'before_title' => '' . apply_filters( 'bbp_get_forum_permalink', get_permalink( $forum_id ) ) . '<h3 class="widget-title">',
    			'after_title' => '</h3><a/> <br class="clear"/>'
    		)
    	);

    I am trying to create something similar to this: http://postimg.org/image/55qwbgoe3/

    I am currently editing the the bbpress/includes/common/widgets.php file directly which I know is a BIG NO NO! and I should create a custom widget for this, but I am not really sure how to!

    I am currently using WordPress v3.6 and Bbpress v2.5.3

    Thanks

    I don’t CARE if bbPress is “made the WordPress way.”

    bbPress is awesome, but the way it has been structured makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE.

    You guys are missing CRITICAL forum features such as quoting, multi-quoting, signatures, and more, and NO plugins should not be filling this stuff in, the point is to integrate these necessary features into the software.

    There is ONE plugin for quoting and it SUCKS, it literally sticks the post under a LINE, not in a nice blockquote separated like ANY other forum software would.

    You guys have a bar that says “Forum”. What the HELL is that supposed to show the user??????????????? That’s where the category label would go, on any forums, there’s a reason all other forums do that. Do you see car manufacturers making 3 wheel cars because that’s “their way”? There’s a way to do things right. Making a stupid structure is not how you do things “your way.”

    Everyone I have spoken to agrees with me. The forums on bbPress and WordPress sites for support are a freaking headache. You guys have everything just cluttered up to the right side, it’s such an eye sore even writing this post is giving me a headache.

    Don’t tell me “it’s the WordPress way.” So sick of hearing that. People here have made it clear that the format for bbPress’ structure SUCKS. You guys cram every forum side to side inline, why?? WHY?

    I am disagreeing with the “WordPress” way, and trying to figure out how to legitimately get this to be noted. I’ve posted it in bbPress Trac and it’s been just looked over.

    Wow! On the front page of bbpress.org and everywhere we mention bbPress:

    "bbPress is forum software, made the WordPress way."

    bbPress is not like all other forums, it was not made to be like other forums, it was made the WordPress way allowing for customized functionality by plugins and/or themes.

    So maybe you should post on http://jobs.wordpress.net/

    I made the importer with SP v5.1.4 and every now and then upgrade to the latest just as I did earlier.

    I’ve got nothing else that comes to mind at this minute, it’s quite late here so I’ll take a closer look in the morning.

    A couple of things will help though, what versions of WordPress, bbPress and SimplePress are you using?
