Hey guys, i’ve installed the BBpress plugin last version 2.5.3 and i had nothing in the dashboard, no tab, nothing related to BBpress.

I’ve deactivated all my plugins and set up basic wordpress theme.
I figured out that once i activate WPML Multilingual CMS, the three tabs related to BBpress : forums, topics and replies disappear from the dashboard…but i can still access to the forums, the pages are still available, because i’ve created it so i could test, the only issue is that if i want to create new category or anything else, i need to deactive my WPML plugin so the BBpress tabs appears again, and then reactivate and so on…

I can’t run my website without the WPML Multilingual CMS plugin because i run a multilingual ecommerce and most of my contents is translated in two languages…

So just wanted to let you know the issue in case it was unknown, and you might know what i can do for it ?

Meanwhile i would have to found another forum plugin 🙁

Thanks in advance and Have a nice day 🙂

EDIT note: Running bbPress 2.5.3 on WordPress 3.8.1
My theme does not support sidebar widgets, so I instead created a page to house my forums. Additionally, I like the idea of being able to add some content above the forum index. I am running everything through a child theme.

EDIT note: The breadcrumbs display in the bottom right of the header, in case it’s not obvious when looking.

As it stands, I’ve added a login box and some content to the page, then used the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode to add my forum index. See the page here.

Clicking into the first forum, “General Fishing Discussion” (my site is a fly fishing related one), I have no issues. The breadcrumbs can get me perfectly back to the page where the index resides. See here.

Finally, I have created a couple test topics. Once I click on one of those topics, this is where my problem arises. Instead of the breadcrumbs being Forum>General Fishing Discussion>Topic Title, they switch to Home>Topic>Topic Title. Clicking the Topic link takes me to a 404 page. See it here.

I’ve been tinkering with this for days, trying several different solutions from this site that I thought might work. The most recent was a fix suggested about two weeks ago whereby I copy the page.php file from my theme folder and rename it to bbPress.php to force bbPress to use it. I have seen no change. I will note that I tried placing it in the theme-child folder as well as the theme-child\bbPress\default folder. Neither worked.

The other fix I tried that I thought might get me there was one posted here about 4 months ago that offered a replacement code for the loop-forums.php. Unfortunately, that didn’t work either.

Does anyone have any other ideas? I really appreciate any help you guys can offer! I love the look and integration of bbPress, I just can’t have users running into walls after reading a topic and trying to navigate back out to other forums.

Thanks in advance!

I’m finding it very tricky to import my Vanilla forum to bbPress 2.5.3 on WordPress 3.8.1. I was not completely sure about the settings to use for the import, and so have tried every combination I can think of, but to no avail. The conversion still results in:
No users to convert
No passwords to clear
No forums to convert
No forum parents to convert etc etc.
My site is http://www.wansteadium.com, and my vanilla forum is at /talk.
Any suggestions or links would be much appreciated.

Exciting news!

The forum was imported successfully to a test development site.

I used the plugin “Export Users 2 CSV” by Yoast ( https://wordpress.org/plugins/users-to-csv/ ) to import users.

Then I used a modified version of Import Users by DagonDesign ( http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/import-users-plugin-for-wordpress/ ) to import the users.

Important Note: When importing users with this plugin it WILL send notification emails to the Admin and the User. I ALMOST pressed “go” on importing 2,200 users — but then I decided to check the plugin code just in case; sure enough there’s this line of code wp_new_user_notification($user_id, $password); you should delete or comment out.

Yes, the users will have to re-create their passwords. We will instruct them how to do that on the new forum. That’s perhaps the only drawback of this method. But since out of the 2,200 users there are perhaps only 100 current active users, it shouldn’t be too much of a hassle.

I did have to write a custom PHP script to help this user export/import process, because the import and export plugins do not match in formatting. You can either do this custom in CSV or make a simple PHP script (took me 10 minutes) to take data from the export CSV and reformat it to meet the delimiters and the stricture of the import CSV. I can help people with this, just ask.

This user import/export had to be a separate process because using bbPress Export and Import by PippinsPlugins ( https://github.com/pippinsplugins/bbPress-Export-and-Import ) did not properly attribute users to posts if it had to create the user. (It attributed the admin to most of the posts.)

After the users were imported, I imported my 20 CSV files (~2,000 rows each file) and after much scrutiny in examination, I find that all users have been properly attributed to posts.

Now all that’s left is performing this process again onto the live site, the fresh bbpress install. (Remember, always back up your site and database before you do this stuff.)

If we run bbPress on a subsite of a WordPress Multisite installation, administrators of the subsites can’t change a user’s capability. Has anyone written a plugin to allow admins to change a user’s forum role?

[IceReaper]

I just installed WordPress the latest version on WordPress with plugins BuddyPress and bbpress.

I created a dummy user under the role “Participant” but when I login to it and go to the forums I see no “Create New Topic” button anywhere.

Also I already created a category forum.

I want my users to be able to make their own topics in my categories that I make.

Hi Everyone,

I am currently using bbpress in my wordpress site. I want to modify the comment before saving it,I mean I want modify the content of comments in a forum. like I want to capitalise the comment text or want to add some extra text,
Please help

Thanks!

[MBonner]

ok, so I did a fresh install of wordpress and began to install each plugin one-by-one. Here’s an update on what’s happening:

– Buddypress released a new version Feb 5th (yesterday) with a new component or something.
– I get a blank page as soon as I activate Buddypress with bbpress (no other plugins or themes installed).
– WooCommerce works with bbpress until I install a specific theme but I will take that up with the theme.

I’m going to post this thread in BuddyPress forums to see if they are aware of what’s going on but any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi guys,

I am using an Artisteer 4 theme on a Buddypress/BBpress site, but seem to have a problem with the search.

Under the forums there is a search function, but when I put in a search phrase it returns a wordpress post rather than searching the forums.

Has anyone come across this and solved it?

Thanks

[MBonner]

I’m doing a fresh install of wordpress and have come to find that

– the current version of bbpress is not working with the current version(s) of buddypress
– I also found that WooCommerce isn’t working with the latest version of buddypress but I’ll post that on the buddypress site.

When I mean by not working, it’s causing my site to go blank.

If anyone has a solution, please advise and I will do likewise. Thank you.

Hi there,

Just installed bbpress on http://www.blogging4jobs.com/forum but I can’t see the topic I posted in our “Off-topic” category called “Introduce yourself!”

You are using bbPress 2.5.3-5249.
Wordpress 3.8.1

P.S. If you notice an Internal Server Error just refresh, we’re trying to troubleshoot why this issue keeps coming up. Thanks

Hi Gautam

Im rather new to this.
in wordpress dashboard I went to appearance>editor>Theme Functions (functions.php)

where exactly in the code should I enter the code you indicated?

thanks.

[Gautam Gupta]

You’re welcome. And the explanation:

First I got undifined Variable for $topic_id so I added the $topic_id = 0; at the code, Zero stands for getting the topic ID from the loop ?

Where the bbp_new_topic hook is called, the line says:

do_action( 'bbp_new_topic', $topic_id );

It calls all the functions hooked to bbp_new_topic and also passes the $topic_id parameter, which in our case is:

function shmoo_auto_save_tags( $topic_id ) {

During this stage, I do not think we’re in the loop (I maybe wrong, I haven’t checked). The topic id internally would be something different at the point of insertion, that’s why in our function we’re now passing the variable to other functions:

$bbp_topic_content = bbp_get_topic_content( $topic_id );

On a side note, you had done $topic_id = 0; at the very beginning of the function. Due to that, whatever topic id was being passed was being disregarded and instead set to 0.

Hi,

I’ve installed bbPress, I’m using the latest version of bbPress and WordPress.

I’m not sure why but the root forum page and profile page is just showing plan text.

These two page show up with just flat text.
http://www.gaysofyoutube.com/forums/
http://www.gaysofyoutube.com/forums/users/admin

While these pages (forum and topic) actually show up with the tables and so.
http://www.gaysofyoutube.com/forums/forum/gays-of-youtube/
http://www.gaysofyoutube.com/forums/topic/hello/

Also how do I go about removing the blue status bar and the share and infobar at the bottom?

[Jaina “Jazzy” Jaslyn]

Okay just realized that it’s only showing 450 users because it ONLY creates a user IF they posted or replied to a topic. Looks like 80% of the users never posted, so they didn’t get their account created.

This doesn’t explain why it’s showing the WP-Admin as the author for a majority of posts in the forum though (even though they are verified users in the system).

Next step I’ll be taking is finding a WordPress user export/import tool. Importing the users FIRST, and THEN importing the forums. Let’s see if that makes a difference.

Hello Community, I have bbpress install on my wordpress localhost site to test some functionalities. Currently i have contango theme installed. My problem is with the search result of the forum. Search the forum with topic titles i have created result in a different display. The search result display only the first blog content of a newly installed wordpress and nothing relating to forum search.

Why am I not getting the forum search results page? but rather gets the normal wordpress search results page?

I am not a programmer but fairly understand the technical details. Can any one help me.

Hi All,

I’ve recently upgraded to the latest version of bbPress and WordPress and the main links within the admin (Forums, Topics, Replies) have disappeared.

The forum itself is working properly, I can get to the edit screen for each existing post by going to the public side of the site and clicking “edit page”.

I tried refreshing permalinks & going into the bbPress settings and re-saving them.

I had a similar problem on another site with different custom post types, the fix was to set
‘public’ => true when registering the post type.

Could this be the problem here?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi:

In my wordpress dashboard when wp e commerce (last version) is actived , bbpress (also last version) control panel in the dashboards disappears. Forums still running but i cant change any option in the dashboard when wp e commerce is actived beacuse any bbpress icon appears

solution please?

Thxs

[Gautam Gupta]

Better hook it to bbp_new_reply_pre_set_terms here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/includes/replies/functions.php#L371 and return the $words array after joining in the supplied $terms array. Similarly for topic.

I’d also suggest to have this at the very beginning:

if ( !bbp_allow_topic_tags() || !current_user_can( 'assign_topic_tags' ) )
return $terms;

Another issue:

If you turn off threaded replies, the ‘reply’ link still appears on the right side for each reply. If you click it, it reloads the whole page!

If you turn off threaded replies, the ‘reply’ link should be removed.

This is pretty much covered in (I think) https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2509

Hello,

I have tried several plugins in order to enable sharing/ social media buttons on the individual Forum Posts such as this one: http://www.hereismyidea.com/forums/topic/tracking-my-workout-and-fitness-levels-in-gyms/ – but the sharing buttons never show up.

What plugins do you recommend that I install in order to display the sharing buttons in a decent location for the user to use? Thanks

WordPress 3.8.1 running Oenology theme.
bbPress 2.5.3

Hello everyone,

Recently we’ve been starting to use bbPress and it seems to be a very rich expansion of WordPress. What I wonder about is this: is it possible to show all sticky topics on your front page, using a shortcode? Say I have a part of my site that is the forum, I would still want to show the sticky topics in a widget in a sidebar, right from the start on the home page. I’ve read about shortcodes listing most popular or most recent topics, but is this possible for stickies too?

Many thanks,
Lucas
