Use WordPress’s Importer. bbPress works just fine with it.

Hi,
I currently have a WordPress installation at website.com/blog/, and a bbPress forum at website.com/blog/forum. Ideally I’d like to have the forum at website.com/forum. Is this possible? I’ve tried a few different rewrites in my Apache site configuration but haven’t managed to get it working.

Best regards,
Sam

I am also having this issue. It just started and all of my admin profiles have the highest level of permission. I’m also running Buddy Press and Another WordPress Classifieds Plugin (AWPCP).If i can not resolve soon I will need to stop using BBPress. We have to launch soon.

Ater installation yesterday no problem. I could see ‘forums’ in the left balk of WP (dashboardbalk). Today no longer.
I removed BBPres and installed again. Without any luck. It is stil not visible on the left site of WordPress.
Any idea?
Many thanks,
Peter

Dear April,

I am having the same issue. I also am deploying and testing in Instant WordPress. Have the same problem. Pity no one has come to rescue till now.

[Pippin Williamson]

No, bbPress only functions as a WordPress plugin.

[Will Brownsberger]

Stumbled into a solution for this.

In this file:
/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/users/functions.php

Comment out lines 34 and 35. Lines 33 through 35 as appearing in the original are shown below. Line 33 contains the comment from the original.

33	// $url was manually set in wp-login.php to redirect to admin
 34	elseif ( admin_url() === $url )
 35		$url = home_url();

Hate to edit the core functions, but it works.

Please note: Running Theme-my-login Version 6.3.8, bbPress Version 2.5.1, WordPress 3.8.

[Will Brownsberger]

The redirection settings don’t help.

Having the same problems.

Problem also appears here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-theme-my-login-login-redirect-issue-with-bbpress

For me, these coding solutions don’t seem to work either:

I have a PHP site http://www.stemcellcure.in and http://www.cellmedicaltourism.com . I want to add forums and comment functionality to my websites. Can bbPress be used for these sites?

[AlanSilverman]

thanks so much.

If I do decide to keep a login for posting to the bb, how exactly does that work? Can each individual create their own username/pw? Is that something I need to manage on the WordPress/Users panel? I could have hundreds of people posting to the forum.

Installed bbPress on a Gabfire premium theme but while the text area is there it is not defined by a keyline and hence is not obvious.

The problem repeats with Twenty Fourteen albeit not so badly as the keyline for the text area appears in Twenty Fourteen when I hover. I’m sure this is a stylesheet issue but I cannot work out what I need to do to correct it.

As an example see:

Using WordPress 3.8
bbPress 2.5.1

I think this is due to the following WordPress issue with custom post types:
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/12706

That said I haven’t looked at this closely in bbPress as it ‘should’ be ‘Update’ and not change the status to ‘Open’ as you point out.

Can you please create a ticket on Trac for this and we can either fix it or wait for the upstream fix via WordPress https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

Hi,

A weird thing is happening on the main site of my WordPress Multisite installation where bbPress is used for the support pages.

The forum plugin was activated with the main Super User account (with ID #1) on the main site. Forums where created without problems and the user got Key Master role.

But since then, that super user has been replaced by another account promoted to Super User. The account with ID #1 has been ‘demoted’ to site admin on the primary site where it is now used only for publication of pages and posts. That account visibly still has Key Master role for the forums but…

When logged in with that account, none of the forum admin pages are accessible.

What is going wrong? How can I use a normal site admin to manage forums and topics. I’d like to prevent usage of the Super User account for public type actions like posting and the like…

[Stephen Edgar]

Are you also using this plugin? https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/

Maybe disable that also if you are.

[Stephen Edgar]

Firstly, that field is the ‘Post ID’ and everytime WordPress creates a post, page or bbPress topic, reply etc this gets incremented. This issue could happen ‘if’ there were 100 edits to a WordPress post, page or bbPress topic etc, though I think you might have mentioned that if that was the case.

I would suggest the quickest way to see what is going on would be in ‘phpMyAdmin’ and have a look at the wp_posts table and have a look at the ID field in this table, these will match the ID’s you mention above and then you can look at the id’s in betwwen those values and the other fields should give you an idea of what content is in those posts which will help you track down the issue.

[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.

Hello!
I’m currently setting up a bbPress forum on my WordPress website and I have one problem.
The “Submit” button is not recognizeable as “Submit” button because the colours are not strong enough.
Here is what it looks like:

If there is some sun shining on the computer screen, the “Submit” button can’t be seen at all. 🙁
So can someone please help me? I want to change the main colour of the button to slightly darker gray while the text in it saying “Submit” should be black.
How can I change the button colours?

(Please keep explanations easy. I don’t really know much about CSS and such.)

WordPress version: 3.8
bbPress version: 2.5.1

Hi, i need some help!

I run my mainsite with frontend registration and frontend user profiles like: xxxxxxxxx.com/user/anyusername

I also installed bbpress and ONLY ALLOW USERS TO REGISTER FROM THE MAINPAGE – mentioned above.
I show the Forum in a page wiht the shortcode… the forum url is: xxxxxxxxx.com/forum/
SO far it works great!

My setting for the forum user profile slug is like that:
xxxxxxxxxx.com/forum/mitglied/anyusername (“mitglied” is for “user” in german)

My Question 🙂
In the users FORUM PROFILE page i have on the left site under the users Profile the menu links. The first of them links to the users FORUM PROFILE like:

xxxxxxxxxx.com/forum/mitglied/anyusername

Now i need the same URL LINK to the users MAINSITE PROFILE wich should be like:

xxxxxxxxxx.com/user/anyusername

IN …..bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php it calls the url for the USERS FORUM PROFILE with this line of code:

<a class="url fn n" href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url(); ?>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( "%s's Profile", 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'display_name' ) ); ?>" rel="me"><?php _e( 'Profile', 'bbpress' ); ?></a>

How can i get the users MAINSITE PROFILE URL? (xxxxxxxxxxx.com/user/anyusername)
I cant find anything in the bbpress and wordpress docs 🙁 or im not intelligent enough to find a solution… i think to remove the slugs from the url is not possible to get a desired url structure for the link. I think there must be a other filter function for the users MAIN SITE PROFILE url…???

I think i must mention this:
I already managed to show the USERS AVATAR from the MAINSITE in the forum page with this code:

<?php $user_info = get_user_by('id', $wp_query->query_vars['author']); echo get_avatar($user_info->ID, '150'); ?>

The avatar call works great – hope it is possible to get the USERS PROFILE URL too 🙂

Thank you so much!

I am using WordPress 3.8 and bbpress 2.5.1. I am also using GD bbpress attachment version 2.0 for attachments.

The problem I am experiencing is that whenever I click “add another file”, the page simply reloads but not allowing me to upload another file.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Eugene

I’ve just upgraded wordpress to 3.8 and the problem persists. Other than the bbPress plugin I only have 2 others in my install: wp-no-category-base and google-sitemap-generator. I have tried disabling these and it makes no difference.

For now I have added links to this topic in #2397, it is not specifically the same bug though it is closely related.
