I’m trying to import from vanilla to latest bbpress (the vanilla install comes via punbb & others).

I get the following errors while importing users:

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘jtf>IS” WHERE ID = “48076”‘ at line 1]

What can I do?

When i try and access my WordPress admin, it goes to my home page only, i managed to disable the bb press plugin then admin login was working fine, is there a fix for this bug?

[Drover]

I was adding a new forum and suddenly it said there were no forums. It says it both in the front end and back end. But as seen in the pic of the problem below, it shows Published (8) and Private (1) as if they’re still there. Ideas?

I’ve had Buddypress on my WPMU site for a while and just installed bbpress and converted the group forums over to that. I had some hiccups along the way but managed to do it. I have a question as I’m not sure if something is working right.

Every time someone logs into the community, they are added as a “participant” to my blog. This I think is ok, but when you go to their profile page in the community run by Buddypress it shows my blog in their blog list.
Also when anyone including myself goes to another user blog on the network they are added as a participant to that blog. Basically everyone is going to end up with a long list of blogs in their profile and menu bar.
I don’t think this should be working this way? Can I stop it from adding everyone as blog participants to every blog on the site?
Also does bbPress need to set everyone as a participant if Buddypress already has their role as Member?

Editing to add I’m using WordPress 3.5.2 Buddypress 1.7.2 and bbPress 2.3.3

Hi,
Before I install this plugin on my wordpress site, I’d like to know if I can create a single page forum, or discussion board, like in this website: http://www.iphoneart.com/studio_talks

No categories at all, I don’t need them, and not separated forums. Just a single page embedded on my wordpress site with all the posts scrolling one after the other, with a “new topic” button, author, replies and so on. Exactly like in the example I posted, or similar.

Thanks you.

**Note:
I’ve recreated this thread because of a weird bug on this site – when i go to the other version of it, the system turns my account into annon and won’t let me edit, but as soon as i go back to forums I’m logged in and can create new threads. I DON’T like computers today. #poundshead

Hi,

Unfortunately a programmer erronously changed the permissions in the database for users to access forums while chasing down an issue of forum components not displaying…

Despite setting the database values back now no keymaster can actually create forums!

I’ve tried removing buddypress and reinstalling, but no luck.
I’ve tried refreshing cookies and clearing caches.
I’ve tried creating fresh keymaster user accounts, no luck.

HELP! I’m going mental.

We’re running bbPress 2.3.2
buddypress 1.7.2
wordpress 3.5.2

Hi, i have searched different forums here, and tried different solutions but not yet found the right one.

Im now using WordPress 3.5.2, and like many others here i have problems with my bbpress installation for 2.3.2, which started when the new bbpress plugin came out and i found my Forums menu had disappeared, and my admin user where locked out for trying to fix things straight. I tried this solution (“http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/lost-permissions-for-administrator/”)

1) deactivate plugin + delete plugin
2) manually installed older version from SVN (http://bbpress.svn.wordpress.org/branches/2.2/)
3) export forum data (from Tools)
4) reset forum plugin
6) installed wordpress import plugin
7) imported forum data

..and I where able to see my forums in the admin menu once again. However once i did update the plugin again, i where locked out and lost the forums in admin menu once again.

I haven’t been able to administer the keymaster to my Admin, i have tried the solution (before i updated bbpress to 2.3.2) with “Admin \ Tools \ Forums \ Remap existing users to default forum roles” and it says OK – fixed 6 roles, but when i check my Admin user in the users list im still just a Forum Participant. (After update i don’t see Forums under Admin \ Tools)

I try using the User Role Editor (but it may be i haven’t understood it fully yet… – im not able to administer the administrators capabilities through it, at least i havent found out how to do it), my Admin user has also another user name than “admin” – if that make this a problem?

In my forum, i (the admin) and the subscriber/editor users, is able to see the forum and the under-forums, and how many topics and replies/posts there are, but when i click one of the under-forums with ex. 12 topics and 16 posts. I get the message:

“This forum contains 12 topics and 4 replies…
Oh bother! No topics were found here!”

But im able to add new topics, and they seem to work like they should, but im not able to see my old topics, and i only see one reply – when i follow the freshness-link – it also acts in different ways – sometimes i get to a page – that

Im not too used with coding, so please explain carefully what i could/should do?
(And my english may not be all correct, as its not my main language).

My page is at http://www.politiorkester.no (in Norwegian) and the forum is hidden – since its on a membership required page.

This plugin will get you about 70% of the way – bbPress Genesis Extend

The remaining 30% is going to be manual CSS tweaks and possibly a few other changes that are specific to your theme (and Genesis)

[Robin W]

Firstly, you need to post this on the theme’s support site

https://wordpress.org/support/theme/blackbird

Since this site has a free download trial version and a bought version, I suspect you may need to spend $45 to buy this version to take this ad out – don’t guarantee that, but suspect it is the case.

see
http://www.inkthemes.com/wp-themes/blackbird-responsive-wordpress-theme/

[Robin W]

where are they logging in? are you using the bbpress login wideget or going via WP-admin If using wp-admin, then take this away from them….

I use bbpress WP tweaks, this creates a forum specific sidebar.

Into this you can drop the BBpress login widget, which means that when they go to your forum page, they then get to login using the widget and remain on that page.

Like you I then give them “no role for this site”, and “participant” for the forum.

I also untick the “show toolbar when viewing site” , so that they don’t see anything wordpress-ish, just my theme. They can amend passwords and profiles through the forum, so don’t need it.

Hi, I’ve installed bbpress and created my forum, and I am able to create topics and post without any problems

Now the not so good part – and I know it’s something I am missing….

I tried experimenting and created a user, and assigned them – site role ‘no role for this site’, and forum role ‘participant’.

the problem is that when they enter the login details, and click login, it displays the ‘You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page’. error message, (but if I then enter the url for the forum they have indeed logged in successfully.)

what I am trying to achieve is that users can access the forum only and not my site’s dashboard.

If I change the site role for this user to ‘contributor’ then there are no errors when they try to login, and the user is taken straight to the site dashboard instead of the forum, which is not what I am wanting.

I apologise my crudeness in explaining this as I am new to wordpress.

any help will be much appreciated!

thanks
Neil

Did you find a solution? I installed BBpress on a site with latest WordPress and Buddypress, but I cannot create new topics from the forums. I have the exact same problem you had…

[arcandio]

I’m now having this same problem. I’ve been all over the site so far, and all I’ve really found is that I need to fix my mod_rewrites or reset my permalinks. To restate my problem, when I test a post on my forum, it loads a page similar to what ryandoz posted. If I refresh/reload the page, the proper page comes up.

I’m working with a pretty vanilla install here, until this happened, I hadn’t even changed the permalinks from the default install (done by SimpleScripts). I don’t know enough about apache to know how to properly fix my .htaccess file to rewrite the urls, and anyway, I would prefer if I could set it up in WordPress.

So, what’s the deal with the rewriting? What exactly is actually going on? bbPress is asking for a url that isn’t rewritten, then the server tells the client the page was moved? Is that not something that bbPress can handle? I really have to put extra Rewrite rules in my .htaccess if I want to have a vanilla install of WordPress use a vanilla install of the bbPress plugin?

[SickSquirrelTwo]

I enabled plugins today. The site broke (every other post is blank; I use bbPress with WordPress) so I deactivated those plugins.

Posts are still missing.

I decided mid-type to test again. One by one was activated. Ultimate WP Filter caused it to happen.

So … y’all have a similar plugin? You enter a list of words not allowed.

You might want to look at a plugin called Impact https://wordpress.org/plugins/impact-template-editor/
It lets you create individual page layouts mostly independent of theme options. You should be able to make it look however you would like.

try this plugin

I’ve been trying to figure out how to add another Forum Role to bbPress. Does anyone know or use a simple function or plugin that hooks the bbpress user roles and creates another role with specified permissions? I know there’s a WordPress plugin that can add new user types, but I’m trying to figure out how to do this for bbPress user forum roles.

Hello,

I wonder if someone can help me out. For the last few days I am looking for a slider for my WordPress site. I am using the bbpress plugin. What I want to accomplish, what I am looking for is a featured slider which can display the latest topics and replys. I know there is a widget for it, but I would like to have it in a slide on my homepage. I cannot seem to find it. There a several beautifull sliders but they don’t support the option for adding topics and replys. They only work with latest posts/pages.

Anybody who knows a plugin for this? (There are several which support custom content, but then I would have to right code for it, which I can’t.

Hope someone can help me out.

Regards,
Monique

I believe I have a good grasp of how bbpress and buddypress work together. My current setup is using bbpress as the forum and buddypress as the networking for members.

My issue and questions are related to the links created by each of these plugins.

Instead of linking to a forum archive page, I’ve created a separate page and am using short codes to add in the forum. I did it this way because I don’t like how WordPress (or the theme) adds “Archive” to the page header (in my case it’s “Forum Archive”). I also don’t like that Archive pages have limited sidebar options, and poor SEO (thanks to Yoast for making it better). But anyway, you can see I’m trying to stay away from the archive pages.

The problem with my setup is the breadcurmbs above the forums. When navigation backwards, the breadcrumbs take you to the “forum archive”. Additionally, a link that is directly to a reply or topic, it is based off the forum archive. Foe Example:

FORUM LINK: website.com/mvp-members/mvp-forums/ (shortcode method.)
TOPIC/REPLY LINK: website.com/mvp-forums/topic/search-first/#post-18143

Are there any tricks to getting these links to work seamlessly with each other? Or a different method of setting up the forums? Or any other advice?

I appreciate it with thankfulness.

Hi,

I am the author of Orbisius bbPress Enhancer plugin. The plugin does support changing the author of the bbPress reply.

Sometimes WordPress just hides it. To show the author dropdown menu you need to go to click on Screen Options near help (top right corner under the admin nav bar). Then you’ll need to check box near Author.

How come 2.3.3 hasn’t been released yet?

Both tickets for the milestone are closed https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/query?group=status&milestone=2.3.3

As are https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2334 and https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2337

I installed an old backup of WordPress incl. the forum

I have some bb_ tables… bb_forums, bb_meta etc.

Are these from the new bbPress 2? Or are these the old bbPress 1 tables, that I had before upgrading?

I have rows in the bb_forums table, but nothing showing in the forum topics :/ What table does bbPress 2 save table topics in?

I upgraded from bbPress 1 to bbPress 2 before, but I am not sure if this is backup is before or after the upgrade.

[edwardbarker]

Well after more than a week of total frustration I’m just about to give up. I’ve tried endlessly to find a solution without luck. I’ve hired a developer who has done a week’s worth of work at significant expense without any luck.

We’ve imported some of the old forum but not all of it. http://www.unitedrant.co.uk/forums/ – as you can see while some replies are as fresh as 3 months old none of the topics imported are newer than 9 months old. Nobody can work out why the importer won’t bring all of it over.

I’ve reset the BBPress 2.3 forum twice and each time not only the metadata associated with the forum posts is deleted but that associated with blog posts too (resulting in mass deletion of categories and tags).

I’ve also tried 3 times to post on this forum without any help at all. After using BBpress for fours years I feel very let down by the community.
