I moved this to its own thread, replying to a 6 year old out of date topic wasn’t quite what you needed 😉

Now just open up the WordPress dashboard and take a look at the topics panel and you can see ‘all’, ‘published’, ‘closed’ & ‘spam’ topics where you can ‘unspam’ topics as needed.

[Stephen Edgar]

Open up your WordPress users admin eg. http://www.whichinvestmenttrust.com/wp-admin/users.php

I presume this is because your existing WordPress users before you installed bbPress do not have a ‘forum role’, set these users as ‘Participants’ and I think you will be good to go.

There is some more detailed role info here:

Gosh this is so frustrating.

When I click on ‘WangGuard Users’ it states I have 89 verified members. How does WangGuard connect with BBPress?

The 89 definitely includes members who registered on my site before I installed BBPress.

I’ve found a tool to import members it is here….. https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/

But it doesn’t seem to include WordPress members. It is just members of other forums software.

A solution might be to uninstall BBPress and install something that works better but if I uninstall BBPress will it delete my members?

I see others using http://disqus.com Maybe that would work better?

Hello,

I’m a super admin on a new WordPress install with one sub site (the main site).

When I posted to BBPress my post gets this message:

This topic is marked as spam.

…and when I go to Topics there are no topics.

…and I can’t seem to find the Spam folder anywhere to select the topic and tell BBPress that it’s not spam.

I know I’m new but please be patient with me.

Thank you,

Chris

Hi,

Before installing BBPress I had around 45 members of my site that registered via WordPress.

I’ve had new members since I installed BBPress but only some show up as members. If you browse to the members section of my site it says there are 18 members. There was 16 members this morning and 10 new ones have registered today but they BBPress forums are not counting them as members.

My website is http://www.whichinvestmenttrust.com If you click on members it states there is 18 but there are a lot more than 18 so why is it counting them up wrong?

I’m stuck. If you have any suggestions or need more information please respond. I’d love to hear from you.

Many thanks, Dice

Hello,

I am using Weaver II theme and latest version of WordPress. Here is the link to the page I am trying to put the forum on.

http://www.stan-mitchell_DOT_net/tech-forum-5/ (CHANGE THE “_DOT_” TO “.”)

I get the forum topics and I can navigate to the topics and I see the blue box saying there is a reply, but I cannot see the replies to any topics. I have deactivated all plugins and changed the theme then changed permalinks and saved then reactivated the weaver theme and reactivated plugins and still the replies do not show. I am a noob here so probably something simple but any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

That may well be the reason, but what is the solution?
surely bbpress needs to send commands to wordpress such that it produces the desired result, i.e. selecting a navigation link in a bbpress widget should navigate to the desired page in bbpress, not jump to some random news page.
If it’s fixed in 2.4 as indicated above, that’s great but that’s not released yet.

[Xevo]

The reason for this is simple, when wordpress reads “?paged=2” it reads the second page of your posts, not the second page of your topics.

[Xevo]

Officially users should be able to access the wordpress “admin” area since it used to be the only way users could edit any of their data, so this behaviour isn’t all that off.

Adjust your Forum attributes. These are:
Types: choose whether you are creating a Forum or category.
Forum – can contain topics and be the parent of other forums.
Category – can only contain forums (no topics). Use for organizing your forums.

…

You may, for example, have a Category “Open Source Software” with the Forums “bbPress” and “WordPress”.

…

Parent: Forums can have a hierarchical structure. If your forum is a sub-forum of another Forum or is the child of a category, add the Parent here.

[Tecca]

This is the way that bbPress is; you’d need to make your own theme if you want it to have a forum hierarchy. This is a feature that is being added in the future, however.

Hey there,

I have set up the bbpress plugin for wordpress, so far everything worked as it should, only one thing didnt work: the username and his/hers profile pic are not aligned. How can i fix this?

check http://www.asdfarchitects.com/forums

Thanks alot!!!

I just installed this plugin in wordpress 3.6, when i enabled the plugin i got the following message:

The plugin generated 50 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.

This doesnt seem to have had any effect on the plugin though as it still inserts ads correctly into the forums.

I created a ticket in trac for this

Im in need of this code as well, however when i add it to functions in my wordpress theme folder it crashes my website. I tried adding to bbpress functions as well but same problem. Any advice? :/

[littlesparrowblog]

I am using WordPress 3.6, bbPress 2.3.2 on http://www.hphe.net

On the bbpress forums pages, when I try to view so-and-so’s profile, it is not displaying properly…it’s all squashed to the left side and impossible to read. I am extremely new to any type of coding. I went with WordPress to avoid having to know a lot of coding.

I appreciate any help!

To find your ‘Table Prefix’ open up phpMyAdmin on your webhost and it should look similar to this:

So in my case the table prefix will be ‘sp_’ (This is most likely the default for SimplePress)

Navigate to http://example.com/forums to see your forums, you can add a link to your WordPress menu linking to that URL etc

Also don’t forget to run the repair tools after the import or things just won’t look right.

[Stephen Edgar]

Regarding your question on StackExchange on removing excess <p> & <br> tags I’ll post an update to the converter that shows how to do this in the next day or so (I have to do this for ~6 of the new converters) so you can take a look at what needs doing for SocialEngine…

Works very well with wp 3.6, i just installed it today without a hitch.

[Tommy]

I have a wordpress site and a bbpress forum. I have found hundreds of posts that are appearing from users that are not registered. I don’t know how they are posting content to my forum or if they have set up something under my domain. My forum has a template through suffusion and looks nothing like the forum that has all the posts. Our website is: http://allinclusivevacationandtravel.com We have a limited amount of posts and no registered users except for me.

There are 130 pages of posts here under our domain: http://allinclusivevacationandtravel.com/forum/

Can someone please help me figure this out?

[tinfoiler]

Ive had a search through the forums here and cant find an answer to my question, i have just installed bbpress and it integrates perfectly into my current wordpress installation. I notice whenever a post is made in bbpress the authors ip address is logged and is visible to the administrator. I would like to disable this and set it so that no ip addresses are stored at all.

From what i can tell the ip’s seem to be stored in the following db field:

wp_postmeta/meta_value

I have a function i found online for wordpress which prevents the ip from being logged:

add_filter('pre_comment_user_ip', 'no_ips');
function no_ips($comment_author_ip){
  return '';
}

Can the above be converted for use with bbpress?

Any advice would be appreciated 🙂

[Xevo]

bbpress is under active development by JJJ, so the latest versions should work with the latest versions of wordpress.

[Xevo]

As far as I know bbpress is already build on wordpress’s custom post types, you would be better off trying something like this with post meta.

Doubt anything like that has been made for bbpress though.

[Xevo]

bbpress != wordpress

If your a programmer, you should read up on the codex, if not I do not recommend to do this yourself. I would recommend rehiring the designer/programmer (if he has the necessary knowledge).

[Xevo]

This has almost nothing to do with bbPress, as it uses the info from wordpress.

Here’s a page about it.
