BBPress 2.5.3
BuddyPress 1.9.1

Hi team

I have a new install of BBPress (within BuddyPress) on my site.

I imported my old forums (which have been un-used for around 18months) from vBulletin. No issues with the import.

However my members (we haven’t launched yet, and they are not registered as active in BuddyPress) are getting email notifications on topics that are in the system.

Any ideas?

I’ve turned off notifications in BuddyPress just in case that is it, but would love if someone could tell me what might be causing it, and how I can turn it off for historic posts.

Thanks!
Martin

When I installed BBpress I was able to add a topic and a form and the Forums entry was visible to the administrator account.
Now if I log in as administrator or any account the forums are not visible or available.
You can see a basic list but as soon as you click on anything page not found 404 comes up
The shortcodes do produce an output from the forum if put in a new page or in the footer but
the url
http://racingpigeon.com/forums/ is blocked whereas the same shortcode in
a new page added at http://racingpigeon.com/forumsx/ produces output

If I log out then I see the output at

http://racingpigeon.com/forums/
I have tried all different levels of forum access but none lets me see it.

Instead of creating a new topic I’d like my question to be answered in here.

I downloaded and installed the bbPress-Plugin for WordPress and set it up for my website. Here’s the link to my forum.

I changed the permalinks /forums/forum/ to /forum/kategorie/ (engl. category)

Does anyone by this time know a guide (for non-coders) or plugin to customize the permalink structure in bbPress?

I’d like to change the structure from: (Origin)

forums -> forum(folder)/topic(folder) -> forum/topic

To: (Personalized / SEO Optimized(imho))

forums -> forum -> topic

I did some research beforehanded:

• no support by developers cause it’s made the wordpress way
• no negative effect for SEO of the original url structure

I.e.: website.com/forum/tech/technical-question…
instead of website.com/forum/topic/technical-question…

It has no negative effect but it would grant two more positive ones.
(1) More freedom for the user in terms of customizability and (2) the new customizability grants free space for keywords in the URL which are not only nice to read for search engines

What about the htaccess rewrite ideas, I didn’t get any of these working and many say it’s not recommendable.

WordPress 3.8.1 running Suffusion theme.
bbPress Version 2.5.3

bbPress 2.1 now available!

On a registered participant login, I keep getting “The forum ‘Private: Small Stars’ is closed to new topics and replies.”
or “This forum is marked as closed to new topics, however your posting capabilities still allow you to do so.” if I’m on admin privileges.

The forums are definitely open.

Repair forums gives me (As Admin and Keymaster) “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

I have searched for this topic, but the phrases around “This forum is marked as closed to new topics” bring up almost every webpage that uses bbPress, as it’s the default text at the bottom of so many topics!

What could be wrong here?

Thanks in advance for any help.

David.

Hi guys, the UL LI elements of my forums are following the styling declared for UL LI in my style.css file instead of the bbpress.css file. How do I correct this? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, can you create a ticket on Trac for us and we can take a closer look at the issue and your fix.

I am using WordPress-bbpress at the my site.
When many messages were contributed to a topic and it became 10 pages or more, the link to 10th page had broken.

The following code is the cause.
It will replace from “&paged=10” to “0”.

bbpress.2.5.3
C:\xampp\htdocs\bb\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\topics\template.php
895 line

// Remove first page from pagination
if ( $wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() ) {
	$pagination_links = str_replace( $wp_rewrite->pagination_base . '/1/', '', $pagination_links );
} else {
	$pagination_links = str_replace( '&paged=1', '', $pagination_links );
}

One solution for correcting this is the following. (Insert “if($pagination[‘total’] == 1)”)

// Remove first page from pagination
if ( $wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() ) {
	$pagination_links = str_replace( $wp_rewrite->pagination_base . '/1/', '', $pagination_links );
} else if($pagination['total'] == 1) {
	$pagination_links = str_replace( '&paged=1', '', $pagination_links );
}

The documentation was wrong. Moderators cannot create/modify forums.
I’ve updated the documentation to match what each role can do.

Actually they can, the documentation was correct 😉

				// Forum caps
				'publish_forums'        => true,
				'edit_forums'           => true,
				'read_private_forums'   => true,
				'read_hidden_forums'    => true,

I have added those changes back to the codex.

The caveat to this is that they can only create and edit forums in the ‘front end’ and not via the admin dashboard. (Details of this are noted in Trac as part of the wider scope Moderator control panels)

To allow moderators to create forums you need to use the [bbp-forum-form] shortcode on a page.

NEED HELP PLEASE

[sarau]

I’m using WordPress version 3.8.1 (the latest as of this writing) and bbPress version 2.5.3 The url wouldn’t show the problem since the forum is private and you would only see “Oh bother! No forums were found here!” on the page as a non-logged in non-member of the site. This question also relates to the WordPress dashboard rather than the site itself. I’ve given a user on the site the bbPress role of Moderator with the expectation that he should be able to set up new forums, however, when he logs in, he can only see/access topics, replies and profile in the WordPress dashboard. There is no link to “Forums” where he can add new ones. Why is this the case when according to the roles information on this page: http://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/ a Moderator “can create and edit forums. Can create, edit and delete other users’ topics and replies. Can manage Tags, and moderate a forum with the moderation tools”?

[sarau]

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I’m using WordPress version 3.8.1 (the latest as of this writing) and bbPress version 2.5.3 The url wouldn’t show the problem since the forum is private and you would only see “No Results Found” on the page as a non-logged in non-member of the site.

This is another usability issue I’d love to solve if anyone has a solution. If you are a member of the site but not logged in, you should see a prompt to login rather than “No Results Found”

[John James Jacoby]

The easiest way to do this is to make a WordPress page with the same slug as your forum root. bbPress will see that page and yield to it, letting it render instead of your forums.

In that page’s content, use the bbp-forum-index shortcode, along with any other HTML, shortcodes, or whatever else you want there. You can get really fancy with your forum index using modifications in a child theme, custom template parts, page templates, forum archives, etc…

[Stephen Edgar]

This could also possibly be related to https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2512

Can you try the workaround listed in that ticket:

Don’t run the bbp_admin_repair_forum_visibility repair tool

In the backend though edit the forum and updates it’s ‘visibility’ by:
Change the forum visibility from private to public and save
Change the forum visibility back to the original private status and save

[Stephen Edgar]

At a quick glance I’m quite sure bbPress could do everything that you mention above, just not out of the box will it do those things.

You would need to make these customizations yourself or hire a programmer to do them for you.

The ‘threaded “hierarchal tree-style” would just be a matter of making some custom templates and would be quite quick. To setup the different theme for different users I think there are a few WordPress plugins that let your users choose what theme they want to use, so have two themes, one with the default bbPress theme (with or without customizations, and the other theme with your customized “hierarchal tree-style” templates.

There are some docs on getting started with custom templates https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

[Stephen Edgar]

Glad you found the issue.

AWPCP state this is now fixed, contact them for an updated version.

Too add a menu link just go to ‘Admin -> Appearance -> Menus’ and add a new menu item eg. ‘Forums’ with a link to http://example.com/forums

Im using the latest versions of WP and BBpress,

All i have learnt using WP and BBpress is from trial and error and use of support forums and information from other websites.

I gamer at heart and play many mmo’s, i use wordpress for our main site and wanted to include a forum for our members(BBpress). http://enigmas.eu

I have been able to change lay out and look, so it look like main site and i have install an Plugin (bbPress String Swap) to rename roles, but it only change them on the forum and not in the admin selection area and the same goes with Public-Privet-hidden forum.

I would like to be able to change the names with in the admin side, so that my Moderator’s know which role to select when a new member joins

Key master – Guild leaders
Moderator – Officer
Participant – Member

Also when creating a forum know which one to select

Public – (can stay the same)
Private – Members Zone
Hidden – Officers Zone

As im talking about the forum titles i would like to remove (private) from the forum breadcrumb i have seen many examples of how to do it and have tried them out, but they don’t seem to work. i don’t know if im doing some thing wrong. so look for a fresh input.

i know that my Moderator(Officers) could get used to knowing which role and forum section to choose from with out changing them. but the Private before the forum tile is a real pain.

any ideas would be great thank you

[Fabio Nelli]

I tried to deactivate and activate again, and unistall and install but nothing…

Could you help me?
Thanks in advance

Hey there!

We have been doing good amount of work with bbPress lately and have implemented a variety of solutions including setting up paid forums via integration of bbPress with WooCommerce. While doing so, we realized that this set up in particular, needs deep understanding of the plugins so we thought of compiling a detailed tutorial and sharing it with the world.

I am glad to tell you that the tutorial is now out and you can check it out on our website HERE.

Also feel free to comment on this guide and ask us any questions for which we would get back to you soon.

[krosenbach]

I see replies listed in the administrative dashboard, but if I click to view them, they are not there.

I believe I updated bbPress 2.5.3, bbPress threaded replies 0.4.3, bbPress Posts Toolbar 0.7.5 and Jetpack by WordPress.com 2.7

I also updated to the latest version of WordPress.

Here is the front of the forum

Guys thanks for the help. Also I had not updated from a previous 2.5.2 version, 2.5.3 was first installment.

I now think the problem stems from a plugin added a few days ago – This one: Another WordPress Classifieds Plugin (AWPCP)

I had a little play around and not sure why, but even when I re-installed bbpress none of the icons for forum would show on left, when classifieds was deactivated it sprang to life.

Very odd, but I had to look at what changed have been made recently as I am the only person who works on my site, and other than installing this other plugin last few days, my work has primarily been on content.

I will report back with any update, but thanks for both your help.

Is your SMF database on the same database server that your WordPress instalation is setup with?

If not your webhost should have some docs on how to export/backup your database.

Then follow the similar docs on your new webhost to import the database if needed.

Then follow the basic steps outlined here https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/

There are also a couple of topics here on bbPress.org relating to SMF that you should be able to find pretty quickly.

[Stephen Edgar]

It should be in your theme folder, though maybe this is what you need and/or are you using it?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/

It might also be worth posting on that plugins support forum if you are.

[chapeauvert]

Hi,

I am quite new to WordPress and definitely new to forums. I am trying to export a forum using SMF on one site and importing into bbPress on another site within WordPress. How do I go about doing this?

Thanks.
