I don’t have memory but it was something about hotlinking or creating an image at another site. Someone answered here or at the WordPress Support forum.

Sorry, this functions seems to return the topic title, not the forum title. I have ‘googled’ around and got this:

$forum_object = get_queried_object();
$forum_id = $forum_object->forum_id; // get the forum id, is it right?
$forum_title = get_forum_name( $topic->forum_id ); // get forum title by id
$forum_class = sanitize_title_with_dashes($forum_title); //sanitize

Not working since get_forum_name doesn’t work outside bbpress (inside WordPress header). Any other idea on how get the forum title (not the topic) and use as body class on WordPress? Thank you.

You should be able to find a WordPress plugin that will let you do that

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

bbPress uses the same login system as WordPress, so if you find one for WordPress it will also work with bbPress

Hi there,

I am using bbPress 2.5.3-5249, WP 3.8.1 and theme dw-minion on http://www.blogperle.de.

My user contacted me with the information that he can’t create a topic.
Errormessage: ERROR: Your topic cannot be created at this time.

I found out, that the german word “Aufforderung” is the reason that the error message appears.
Every time I tried to use “Aufforderung” the bbpress denied to create (and edit) the post.

Wherever I used it in title or in bodytext, it does not work. I checked every user role. Only with Administrator rights it works with this word.

I checked within “Settings” > “Discussion” > “Comment-Blacklist” if this word is there. It is not.

Any help for this? Aufforderung means “challenge” (to sb. to do sth.) or better “request”.

[Stephen Edgar]

Another thing, take a look at the following plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

I wouldn’t add this now whilst things are not working as expected as you will compound your issues but it might be another option available to you if your want a custom visual editor on your forms.

Hello,

How to make adsense ads to display them at the 1 and the 3 post?

I checked the plug http://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-simple-advert-units/

This plugin displays only the first post i want to also display the adsense under 3 post
How to do it?

sorry for my bad english

[jollyjollyjolly]

So the wordpress site in question is on 3.7.1 and bbpress is 2.5.3

Problem: None of the users on this site “register”. They are all imported via s2membership import function. As such the import overwrites the user role on each import.

All wp users that exist in the system should be able to by default be a participant. Is there an override?

“deactivating all plugins tangentially related to bbpress ”

The plugin conflict has nothing to do with whether the plugin is related to bbpress – any plugin can cause a conflict.

This is because conflicts are often with common variable names such as $user, where one plugin may set it to be x and the other uses it expecting it to be y.

Disable all plugins, and switching to a default theme proves that both wordpress and bbpress are correctly installed (ie not corrupt). From there you can add back themes and plugin to work out which is causing the conflict.

“There are a number of related threads about this issue on the forum but none have any real solutions provided.”

There are tens of thousands of plugins, and thousands of themes, and conflicts will occur with combinations of these. There is not one common problem here, the symptoms are the same but the causes many, so “real” solutions are individual. In the last few weeks solutions for many including a caching plugin and a theme have been posted.

Your problem is individual to you.

Try again with getting to a root cause by disabling all plugins and going to default theme, and come back if you still have a problem, we’ll try to help you to resolve this.

This will be an issue forr GD bbPress attachments.

I suggest you have a read of the existing support topics here and post your own if needed.

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gd-bbpress-attachments

[rlitts]

I posted about this issue that I had a couple of weeks ago without any resolution. So I thought I would start at the beginning. I installed a fresh copy of WordPress (3.8.1) with the default themes on a newly created directory. Second I installed BBpress (2.5.3) and kept all the default settings. Upon completion I added the BBpress login widget and tested the login function. When I do this it hangs up on /wp-login.php page with nothing but a single period on the page.

Is anyone else having this same issue? I need help!!!!

[Stephen Edgar]

There is no real easy way to do this in bbPress 1.x and that is what you are using.

The latest version of bbPress is bbPress v2.5.3 that is a plugin for WordPress.

You should just delete the entire database and install WordPress then bbPress.

p.s. Topic & Reply counts will be included with bbPress 2.6

It is a theme issue… Though I expect you knew that was coming 😉

You might be able to find some more info for ‘other’ bbPress Atahualpa issues via:
http://forum.bytesforall.com/search.php?searchid=749383

With all that said, I was terrified looking at this theme, it seems that it doesn’t use WordPress Template Hierarchy and overrides/creates it’s own templates and far too many options for my liking.

Create a new file named bbpress.php in your theme folder \wp-content\themes\atahualpa

Add the following code to the bbpress.php file and you should be good to go:

<?php
/**
 * bbPress wrapper template.
 */

get_header(); ?>

<?php while( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>

	<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress uses WordPress’s user profiles code, so any new fields you add to the dashboard profile (with a plugin or otherwise) should be mirrored in the theme. If you need an easy GUI to create profile fields, try BuddyPress.

There are a bunch of examples on how to do this with WordPress. Follow those instructions and you should be fine.

Hello, I’m having some tests in a site named ffffind.com
Now the only problem is, it looks like someone has breached into my wordpress account and posted 20K+ posts and topics inside the bbpress extension.

ffffind.com/forum/ is where the problem is at.
I am running the latest WP release as well as the latest BBpress release.

How do i delete all of the posts in one hit and renew all of the bbpress content?

[Tim Hardy RRC]

Is there a way to filter search results for non-logged-on users of the website so their results don’t display the contents of private forums which then go to a redirect loop when we try to follow the links?

An example from our testing site:

http://www.resourcescentreonline.co.uk/tim_play/?s=fisticuffs

The search results don’t include topics that have individually been made ‘private’ but I can’t find a way to set this to default for topics within a private forum – I can batch edit them afterwards but it would be good if, failing a solution to the search problem, this could happen automatically.

We’re running WordPress 3.8.1 and BBPress 2.5.3 (as part of a Commons In A Box setup) on an entirely custom theme.

If there’s any more information I need to provide, please let me know – thank you.

edit: glaring typo

[BuckyOHare]

Yeah I did. It’s been so long though I’m trying to remember what I had to do. I know that I ended up not using the BBPress login widget and instead went with the “WP Login Box” widget. I had to do some configuring on the settings I think but was able to set the whole thing up to where users were only able to login to their BBPress account and not have backdoor access to the wordpress site itself.

I think it had something to do with wordpress making an update where they screwed up default cookie configurations. I went looking in my wp-config file and found that I put this there. Truth is I can’t remember if this was for the same problem or something else, it’s been a while since I was last working in wordpress. Try putting this in your wp-config.php file after your last set of “defines” near the top. Hope that helps.

Think this needs someone who is very familiar with both the theme and bbpress !

Have you tried their official support forum

https://wordpress.org/support/theme/atahualpa

[Robin W]

I’m presuming the one for your wordpress site is the one on the top right that is in the toolbar? Wasn’t clear from your website as obviously I’m not logged in !

If so, I just turn this off, it never fits with a theme anyway, and now you have a profile in bbPress you don’t need it anymore. So maybe just use the bbPress one, you can call it from menu’s and widgets, so it can be site-wide.

[Robin W]

Without spending a lot of time cracking open the breadcrumb trail plugin, I couldn’t say.

May try their support forum

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/breadcrumb-trail

Hope you get fixed !

[NovaSev]

Well – and this is cutting it down as simply as I can possibly make it – I want to add either bbPress user info to the WordPress user’s pages or wordpress user info to the bbPress user pages. I want to make it so anytime someone clicks on a name there is only one single profile page for that person through out the entire site instead of having one for my wordpress site and one for my bbpress forum area.

[Thaddeous]

Having issue with our site pages and BBPress. We are using WP 3.8.1 and the latest version of BB Press.

email: theig072@gmail.com
site: http://www.fretbuzz.com
site password: test12

We want to customize our BB Press page (title, maybe input a button or two… who knows) BUT there is no actual BB Press page to customize? The forum seems to be automatically created upon install. Normally we can edit any page by selecting “edit page” at the top of the screen and in this case, there is no edit page button because the page doesn’t exist.
Following? So the logical next step is to create the page right? Well… when we go to the backend of WP in the admin dashboard -> Settings -> Forums -> we read (about halfway down this page) this text:

“Forum Root Slug – Customize your Forums root. Partner with a WordPress Page and use Shortcodes for more flexibility.”

So we created a WP Page named forums. (http://www.fretbuzz.com/forums/) If this page is created then the forums appear until we edit anything. We cant select any option or input any text or the forums do not appear. So we deleted the page and the forums appear again. Then we created a separate WP page and labeled it test (http://www.fretbuzz.com/test/) and then moved the forum root slug to it, the forums again appear but If we again try to put any button shortcode or text or whatever in the page then nothing appears. So this begs the question…. What are the shortcodes BB Press talks about in the settings panel? How do we customize our BB Press Forums page?

End goal = Create an actual page that hold the forum roots on which we can add a button or two (with maybe some text). With an actual page as the root slug, I have access to turn on or off options as well such as “ratings” and “Author Bio”, which is quite annoying on the forums currently.

Our theme (DynamiX) has almost 9000 support members and this is what one of the support moderators said:

“Hi Tad,
I am not sure if this feature works correctly as I have tested it with DynamiX and the standard WP theme and they both have the same results. It must be a feature of BBPress that does not work properly.
Tom”

This cannot be so…. Any suggestions. Any help is highly coveted. 🙂

[Robin W]

Not totally sure what end result you are after, but the following plugins add a topic count and 4 extra user fields

bbp topic count plugin

(it’s also on wordpress plugins)

bbp-profile-information

(will be on wordpress plugins in a few days)

[Apokh]

Okay, one more try now 🙂

There is one thing I want do do, so I have 2 questions according to that:

1.) (how) is it possible (I guess it is) to get WP userdata for display in bbpress? Lets say the First Name of the WordPress User Information.
Must be something get_userdata( <strong>bbpressuser</strong>) ?!

2.) As I learned, the Userinfos (Avatar, Role etc) of the Reply must be somewhere in loop-single-topic.php – but I really don´t find it.

Thanks in advance. Hope someone can help with that for the german forums (i´m from germany) are really dead :/

Best regards
Apokh

Hey guys, so I dont know whats happening, Ive looked around everywhere but cant find a server.

I transferred from Goldsboro Web hosting (local NC based host) to Fatcow today. All my plugins work fine, but when I install bbPress, it gives me 500 internal server error when trying to get into http://www.skyforgelabs.com/wp-admin (thats my site)

When I delete the bbPress folder via FTP, I can get into my admin panel just fine

When I install bbPress via the WordPress dashboard, it gives me the 500 error mentioned above and stops me from getting into wp-admin

My site is hosted on Fatcow, and my friends site is also. He faced the same issue and was unable to get it resolved.

Im using the latest stable version of WP and bbP

Someone please help me out here?
