I have bbpress loaded on my site and have already started creating forums…love it.
however, I created a page for the forum and put the shortcode there, but now my forum url is
http://www.nikkiinstitchescraftacademy.com/forums/forum/month-1-the-background-story/
is there any way to get rid of the double forum in there?
should i have put the shortcode someplace else?
thanks so much for your help!

You will find your user profiles at the following URL (Swap example.com for your domain)

http://example.com/forums/profile/username/

Also any username prefixed with imported_ eg. imported_username is because the user name username was already taken in WordPress. If both imported_username and username users are the same user go to the WordPress dashboards ‘User Panel’ and when you select the imported_username to be deleted you will be prompted to attribute all existing posts, topics, replies etc to another user, select the user username and now all posts, topics, replies etc will be under the single user username.

bbPress Users ARE WordPress users 🙂

I use a large decorative font for my standard pages and forum titles in WordPress. This is normally ok because I make them intentionally short, however my forum topic titles can be much longer as they are created by users and need to be generally more descriptive. Since I have my breadcrumbs styled large and clearly, it’s unnecessary for the topic title to exist at all on an individual topic page.

Does anyone know which bbpress template file I would need to edit to get the single topic pages to display the forum they belong to instead of the topic title itself?

Or how I might do this using a conditional via my WordPress theme’s page.php file?

Have a look at the support forum for ‘bbPress Genesis Extend’, it looks like @jaredatch has a new version is on its way shortly.

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-genesis-extend

The specifics of Genesis compatibility with bbPress 2.4x I am not sure, @jaredatch is the one who can answer all these questions and probsbly the best place would be in the support forum link above if he doesn’t answer them directly here.

Ok, got the login-part solved: Obviously I had in Options>General a wordpress-url different from the site-url which in conjunction with permalinks didn’t work well. After I have changed wordpress-url and site-url to one common value, it worked.

I can’t seem to find anything the closest thing I found was New User Approval which only works for WordPress registration. Any ideas?

Hello guys!

I have a specific question about adding forums, threads and replies in Bbpress.
Some times ago i made a script that’s sending data to fill the DB in wordpress – i just send via POST: author, post, title etc via php script, that add it all to DB. It was simple.

Now i have to make it in Bbpress, and there is a problem: besides the ‘wp_posts’ data i see many cells in ‘wp_post_meta’ when i create a forum, topic and a reply such as:

_bbp_topic_count
_bbp_total_reply_count
_bbp_forum_subforum_count
_bbp_reply_count
_bbp_last_active_time

etc

The problem is that I want to do it in the future delayed (this future posts date). And the question is: how do I write this posts and Bbpress helps me and refreshes that data in ‘wp_post_meta’.

I googled my problem and found this functions in functions.php:

  function bbp_update_topic_topic_id( $topic_id = 0 ) {
     $topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $topic_id );
  
     update_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_topic_id', (int) $topic_id );
 
      return apply_filters( 'bbp_update_topic_topic_id', (int) $topic_id );
  }

That’s what I’m looking for? I will be happy if Bbpress has some API or xml-rpc method to add a topics and replies, but there is none 🙁

Thank you and sorry for my bad english.

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks, I will dig around a bit more tomorrow and see what I can find.

See this bbPress Trac ticket for more information, the fix will be included with bbPress 2.4.1

The avatar on my website was being used by vbulletin now we have no avatars? how to add them? the profile page that comes with wordpress doesnt have an option for that.

Check to see if you have a conflict with another WordPress plugin
https://codex.bbpress.org/faq/#plugin-conflicts

[Stephen Edgar]

Are you using the Genesis bbPress plugin?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks for that, it appears it’s not related to another bug I was testing for 🙁

As per above using your bbPress.org/wordpress.org username and password can you create a ticket on Trac and we can then track it much better there.

[Stephen Edgar]

Can you open the bbPress ‘Settings’ -> ‘Forums’ panel in your WordPress dashboard:
eg. http://example.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress

Change a setting eg. Topics from 15 per page to 14 per page click ‘Save Changes’
(It doesn’t really matter what is changed here as we are just forcing bbPress to update its setting in the wp_options table)

Go check your site at eg. http://example.com/forums

Is the issue fixed?

If Yes, go back and change the setting back to its original setting

If not, now go to the ‘Tools’ -> ‘Forums’ panel in your WordPress dashboard:
eg. http://example.com/wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-repair

Run each of these individually:

• Recalculate the parent topic for each post
• Recalculate the parent forum for each post
• Recalculate private and hidden forums
• Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum
• Recalculate the sticky relationship of each topic
• Count topics in each forum
• Count replies in each forum
• Count replies in each topic
• Count voices in each topic
• Count spammed & trashed replies in each topic
• Count topics for each user
• Count replies for each user

Again go check your site at eg. http://example.com/forums

Is the issue fixed?

Hello, I have a default WordPress install (latest version) with a default bbPress 2.4 install using TwentyTwelve, no files have been modified. The replies pagination does not work, though the pagination for topic listings is.

Does anybody else have this issue? I’m going to take a look at the pagination functions and see if I can come up with a fix

Thanks.

Hi,
I am trying to “fight” with the bbPress installation on top of the existing Genesis / Dynamik installation.
The forum and all other elements look like a bad experiment in html links by a novice.
The site details:

WordPress version 3.6.1
bbPress version 2.4

Thanks,
John.

I’ve just installed bbPress on my WordPress site through my admin and when I click activate plugin I get this message

“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

It does show it’s activated when I look at it in “installed plugins” but if I click “settings” or “about” I get the same message!

I’ve tried deleting bbPress and reinstalling it but still no change!

I’ve also searched the forums for an answer but haven’t able to find anything.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
Marc

Vs 2.4 in WordPress 3.6.1

I have installed BBPress and am trying things out, posting topics and forums but looking in the admin Forum section under All Replies, all but the first is marked Mismatch with 0 counts. Why is this and what will it affect? It’s still not listed on our site, but it’s live and working. I would like to work the bugs out before going live.

Anyone have any ideas on what this means?

[spottedplanes]

Where is this “Tools-Forum” to find this uninstall script..I’m having trouble with my WordPress site after removing bbpress. Email notifications no longer work from my website…jetpack stats graph missing from the admin bar

[speds]

I am using WordPress 3.6.1 version and bbpress version 2.4. My site is a membership site, if I deactivate bbpress, I will be able to send emails. However, if I reactivate it, I will not be able to send an email.

Can someone help me.

[Nadiamode]

Hi guys,

Has there been any other fix to this problem, as I don’t have direct access to our server I can’t modify core files either. Problem is same as above if the Forum root “forums” shares a name with a page it does not use the page settings but tries to display it like a blog layout. So if you click Forums in the breadcrumb it takes you to a blog archive type page instead of the index page it should. I am using latest version of wordpress 3.6.1, latest version of bbpress 2.4 and use Headway theme 3.5.5. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
