Greetings,

My “All forums” and “New forums” submenus aren’t showing up, so I can’t add new forums 🙁

I’m using bbPress 2.4, with WordPress 3.6.1 (didn’t work with the previous WP either, but I haven’t got around to posting the problem here).

I am also using WishList Member.

When I look in the Member list, I see a column for “Forum Role,” but there is nothing under my user row (other members have “Participant” or “Moderator”). When I go to edit my account (a WP Admin account), I don’t see any options for Forum Role.

I have tried disabling all bbPress extras, but this has not fixed the problem.

I suspect that the problem is with WishList Member (it has a set of “Membership Levels” on the user settings page), but I thought I’d ask here to see if anyone has had this problem before.

Thanks for any help,

Lee

Sorry, 3.6.1 on WordPress.

I only looked at the first link that you posted, and it seems to be using Reddis for caching static pages. That should work just as well for bbPress as it does for bbPress.

I assume that a good object caching setup would be more important to concentrate on for bbPress since many people will be logged in users and hence not see the statically cached pages anyway.

For what it’s worth, I use APC to handle both static page caching and object caching with bbPress. I haven’t experienced any problems with it. The sheer number of pages being cached did mean that I needed to adjust my cache refresh time however. When I added a new bbPress site to my server, it maxed out my APC RAM very quickly. Forums tend to have a lot more cacheable pages than a typical WordPress site and so keeping an eye on your RAM usage is quite important.

I just had a quick read of those links you mentioned and I like what I read.

I wondered if there was a setup of this using Vagrant as I have been playing with this recently.

I had a read of this and then cloned this GitHub repo to my local machine.

Copied the Vagrantfile.redis file to Vagrantfile. and made a couple of network chances to the Vagrantfile to suit my local setup.

Ran Vagrant Up from the console and made a coffee.

Configured WordPress’ 5 minute install and everything was up and running in under 10 minutes 🙂

Sadly I’ve hit a brick wall trying to install bbPress (or any plugin for that matter) that I will most definitely look further into tomorrow.

After reading about some very encouraging results with WordPress and redis (eamann.com, jeedo.net), along with seeing redis included in the core of modern forum suites like NodeBB and Discourse, I can’t help but wonder if redis might be the ideal caching solution for bbPress as well.

If anyone has some first-hand experiences to share, I’m all ears.

[Stephen Edgar]

It looks right to me, did you download the latest version and upload it to the correct location?

Thanks for you reply.

I am not getting the following error:

WordPress database error: [Table 'insomnia_tccjoomla.tvc4d_user' doesn't exist]
SELECT convert(user.userid USING "utf8") AS userid,convert(user.password USING "utf8") AS password,convert(user.salt USING "utf8") AS salt,convert(user.username USING "utf8") AS username,convert(user.email USING "utf8") AS email,convert(user.homepage USING "utf8") AS homepage,convert(user.joindate USING "utf8") AS joindate,convert(user.aim USING "utf8") AS aim,convert(user.yahoo USING "utf8") AS yahoo,convert(user.icq USING "utf8") AS icq,convert(user.msn USING "utf8") AS msn,convert(user.skype USING "utf8") AS skype FROM tvc4d_user AS user LIMIT 0, 100

I believe the table it should be looking for is: tccjoomla.tvc4d_users not user

If you have BuddyPress installed, this should work: mysite.com/members/wordpressusername/

If it doesn’t work you can just go to a forum thread and click the link to the profile of someone who has made a post.

My wordpress sidebar in the way of my forum. I need to make my forum full page. Also, I can navigate up or down in my forum. I don’t think my forum pages is pointing to the front page of my forum. Please help. (my website isn’t online yet)

Hey all! We have just released bbPress Notifications, which will make your bbPress give all your users private messaging, global notifications, google search integration and friend requests, along with @user mentions, and a slick navigation system.

I’d love it if we could get feedback, and reviews, positive and negative.

I want to display in WordPress search results page – 10 or less found results from BBPress (plugin) forums. I know that BBPress use custom post types (forum, topic, reply) but I don’t know how to do it. I try with WP Query, but it didn’t show nothing. I don’t want to override BBPress search page and functions, I just want to show some results in WordPress search page. Is this possible?

Thank you all in advance.

Here is the query I try:

<?php 
    // The Query
    $the_query = new WP_Query( array (
        'post_type' => array('topic', 'reply'),
        'posts_per_page' => 10,
        's'=> $s
    ));

    // The Loop
    if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
        while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) { $the_query->the_post();
            echo '<li>' . get_the_title() . '</li>';
        }
    } else {
    // no posts found
    }
    /* Restore original Post Data */
    wp_reset_postdata();
?>

I use the ‘Recent Topics’ widget.
There is an option you can tick to show the topic author. I have this option ticked but the author does not show.

This is a known issue on forum visibility, details are in ticket #2408 and a possible workaround is in this thread

Wordpress Version 3.6.1
bbpress Version 2.4

I’ve installed bbpress and really love the plugin. However I’m having issues with assigning roles to users.

I’ve created a user (Subscriber or Editor) and wanted to assign the bbpress role of Participant. When I assigned the user this role it doesn’t however appear in the dashboard. It only shows the profile and not the “Topics” & “Replies”.

I’ve disabled all plugins that are related such a “Members Plugin”, “Admin Editor” and “CMS Pods – component user roles”. I’ve had no luck of making these menu appear in either the Subscribe account or the editors account.

When I select moderate role, it works perfect, but the participant doesn’t work at all. Any ideas or Solution as to why this happens?

My Forum is public and set to open for the public viewing.

Any help would much be appreciated.

Thanks
Lonce

This past weekend we spoke with John James Jacoby on our WordPress Weekly podcast. John is the lead developer for both the bbPress and BuddyPress plugins. We had the pleasure of chatting with him about his new job at 10up as well as everything that’s going on with bbPress and BuddyPress these days.

During our interview we asked John if he knew of any bbPress or BuddyCamp events in the works. He said that he didn’t know of any coming up but would love to see a bbPress camp organized, perhaps in a more central midwest location. The question is: Is there enough interest to warrant a bbPress event or perhaps combine it with a BuddyPress event?

Head on over and read the full post and vote in the poll 🙂

Is Anyone Interested In a bbPress Camp?

Hi guys,
i have problem with the links (Topics started, Replies created, Favorites, Subscribtion, Edit) in the user profile site – they are wrong or something else o:-) (my english is little bit bad) 😉
What can be the problem?
Thanks

[Stephen Edgar]

I haven’t tested this myself but there are a few themes out there that support WordPress, bbPress, BuddyPress & WooCommerce so I would think that a few people have this up and running pretty much out of the box.

Your main issue I would start looking into would be managing your users and user profiles.

A seriously quick search for ‘WordPress & bbPress’ revealed this:

http://docs.woothemes.com/document/product-support/

[Stephen Edgar]

I also saw watched this stream from WordCamp SF 2013 and it looks quite cool.

The features as you mention @sadr share some similar goals I agree. Some people say why run a forum at all these days, why not just a blog with comments and a good theme. I think the same approach should probably apply here for O2 also. What does O2 do for you that a WP blog or bbP forum does not and will it fit my needs better than the current solutions available.

I would also love to see these same features you mention available either in bbPress or as plugins, sadly my coding skills just aren’t there to contribute such awesomeness. 😉

That all said if O2 is a plugin for available in the WordPress plugins directory I would hope O2 has support for custom post types then why would it not work with bbPress? (hack, hack, hack, see slide 62 “Template compatibility is hard”)

And I’ll leave with this:

Getting bbPress working there would be a very different project from what we’re doing with o2.

[Stephen Edgar]

In a short answer no, bbPress uses the ‘forum’, ‘topic’ and ‘reply’ slugs (or your alternate via bbPress settings) to tell WordPress that the content is from a custom post type ‘Forum’, ‘Topic’ or ‘Reply’.

[Stephen Edgar]

Sure is possible 🙂

Take a read of this to help you on your way https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/

Make a category (forum) called ‘Fruits’ and then make your sub forums ‘Apples’, ‘Oranges’ etc
Make another category (forum) called ‘Vegetables’ and sub forums ‘Potatoe’, ‘Carrots’ etc

Create a WordPress page for each of your categories ‘Fruits’ and ‘Vegetables’

Use the [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] bbPress shortcode on each of these pages with the forum_id of each category.

[Stephen Edgar]

I don’t think things have progressed much further than what you have found thus far. The best place to keep track of this would be to subscribe to the bbPress Trac ticket #2191.

[Stephen Edgar]

Forum Section

• Added Forum Display Order using wbb1_1_board.sortOrder
• Added wbb1_1_board.boardType and callback method callback_forum_type where category =1 & forum = 0
• wbb1_1_board.isClosed & callback method callback_forum_status where closed =1 & open = 0
• (Are the above values correct for these DB fields? I have guessed these ;))

Topic Section

• Changed callback method for Topic Language from callback_topic_reply_count to callback_topic_language
• Added topic author ip
• Your SQL join for the topic content looks good

Reply Section

• Fixed ‘Reply parent forum id’ (we need the ‘parent forum’ here not the first ‘post id’, the inline docs were not very clear here)
• Removed ‘Reply Unregistered Author name’ (See #2347for more info)

User Section

• Added ‘User Signature’ wcf1_user.signature

Generally cleaned up the code and inline docs to match the other importers.

Hi, I’m thinking of a website entirely implemented in wordpress that has a section in which the user can identify and from there you can access different pages and also to an online store WooCommerce. If the user would not have to buy anything to be re-identified.

All this I can integrate bbpress?, I need some additional plugin?

Thank you!

Xavier.

Hi Guys

I know WordPress to a reasonable level but am completely new to forum building and BBPress. I am hoping my question has a simple answer and is probably me missing something very simple.

I have set up the forum for a charity I am working with, its installed fine and we have some test topics up and running. No problems.

The installation provides me with a forum address of http://mydomain.com/forums/forum/forum-name which is fine.

All I want to do is basically add some notes/welcome message and an image just above where the forum starts but I dont seem to be able to do it. When I go into my form and add in text or an image, in the same way you would add to a page/post then save it, nothing appears?

Any ideas at all how I can achieve this? Should this be happening in the way that it is?

Many thanks!

Justin
