I have trying to find a way for all users to upload images and embed them into the post not attach. Any suggestions?

Hi,
i getting an error in WordPress
Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2962

How can this be fixed?

This solved itself partly when I removed the User Role Editor and replaced it with the plugin Members – then i where able to administer the administrators rights. And i where able to get the bbpress updated to the newest edition without loosing control over it.

However im still unable to restore my topics and replies list in the forum. I have three .xml backups of the forum, the topics and the replies, but i struggle with getting them back up again.

And it may be that the .xml files isn’t enough?

Anyone know of a good .xml importer for the bbpress? To get my forums back online, or is this case lost?

All right, I haven’t used bbPress without BuddyPress for a long while and forgot that avatars aren’t a native option. This plugin seems to work very well:

Hi,

I did a large migration about a year ago (20,000 total topics and replies). You will definitely have timeout problems with an import that large, what I did was import items separately like so: users first then forum 1 topics, forum 1 replies, forum 2 topics, forum 2 replies and so on.

Of course back then there wasn’t an importer and we had to rely on custom scripts for all of it. The script was also run outside of WordPress/bbPress in an effort to stop timeouts. We also ran post-meta separately and did not attempt to transfer passwords (this was a migration from DNN/Microsoft SQL server so it wasn’t possible to retain passwords).

I am happy to help with specific question, I do agree it is a timeout issue.

Running WordPress .51 and bbPress 2.3.2 with iGift theme. I went to add my avatar to my profile but notice there is no option. Which plugin(s) do you suggest I look at? Oris the option hidden somewhere?

I am working on getting a drupal forum migrated to bbpress. I am using the bbpress importer tool. The forum I am migrating has about 4000 topics and 40000 replies. The migration works fine for a few topics, but seems to get stuck at random places after about a 1000 records are migrated. This makes me think that it is not a data problem. More likely some sort of timeout.

Have any of you experienced something similar? I am running things locally with the most recent stable versions of WP and bbpress.

Here is my script. It is not well-tested. Any suggestions for improvements are welcome and feel free to use it as part of bbpress in whatever way you feel like.

Hi there!

In my website i am using Typo3 as CMS, and now i’m thinking to build a new website but with WordPress…In the current wesbite, i use a plugin called mm_forum that works as a Forum of my website, and i am wondering if bbPress can import the users, posts, and other stuff from it, so i can “migrate” the data to the new website built in WordPress.

Thank you very much

[eldesperado]

Hello,
– bbPress Version : 2.3.2
– WordPress Version : 3.5.2
– PHP/MySQL Version : PHP 5.3/MySQL 5.1
– Theme : Twenty Twelve (modified)
– website adress : local (127.0.0.1/etc …)

I just discovered this extension by mordauk and I made some changes on it to display on a page WordPress, the profile page from bbPress.

In includes/common/shortcodes.php :

<em>/*line 92 :*/</em>
			'bbp-profile-edit'     => array( $this, 'display_profile_edit'  ), // User Profile
<em>/*lines 747 to 762 :*/</em>
	 public function display_profile_edit() { 
 		 
 		                // Unset globals 
 		                $this->unset_globals(); 
 		 
 		                // Start output buffer 
 		                $this->start( 'bbp_profile_edit' ); 
 		 
 		                // Output templates 
 		                if ( is_user_logged_in() ) 
 		                        bbp_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-user'        ); 
 		 
 		                // Return contents of output buffer 
 		                return $this->end(); 
 	 
 	       } 

My problem is that the profile page is displayed correctly, but none of the links work.
Someone has an idea to solve this ?

Thanks

Hello everyone,

Completely new to bbPress here, so bear with me.

I’m running a forum in PHP-fusion, but want to join the wonderful world of bbPress and WordPress and the endless possibilities they present.

However i have encountered a problem as i want to transfer all the existing members and preferably old forum posts and blog posts to bbpress. I have been looking pretty much everywhere, but it seems like this is not possible unless i create some customized script.

This is way beyond my capabilities, so now im turning to the forum to ask if there really isnt any possibilites for making such a transfer/conversion or anyone have some great tips on what to do?

Thx in advance

[cappazushi]

I’m trying to set up a forum on a beta (read: fresh) install of WordPress before I move it over to live. However, I can’t get any widgets to show up on the forums, no matter what theme I am using. Instead, all I get is a 2/3 width forum and a blank widget sidebar.

What can I do to fix this?

[m4j4]

Hi, Trifon,

I also have trouble installing bbpress in my WordPress.

I do follow the instructions on https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/

1. I go to the Add plugin section.
2. I find bbpress.
3. I install it.
4. I activate it (Here, when clicling the Activate button for the first time, the system says “You do not have the priviliges …”,, so I click the Activate button again and then it works. So I do manage to install bbpress. It is visible in the list of my plugins. Everything seems OK.)
5. But the problem is that bbpress does not appear in Settings sections (menu of wordpress on the left). So I do not know how ta access it, work with it.

I would be greatfull for some further instructions.

[Tecca]

From what I can see, Enfold is just another WordPress theme that has edited some bbPress CSS and files. If that’s the case, then everything will be fine — you’d still be using your WordPress install with the bbPress plugin, so your tables wouldn’t go anywhere.

[qassoom]

After turning on the automatic upgrade for my plugins, one day I walk in the forum page of my website and I get this

http://qassoom.me/techie/forum/the-assembly/

I am using PHP Ease theme
http://www.php-ease.com/wordpress/themes/framework.html

Wordpress Version 3.5.2

bbPress Version 2.3.2

Your help will be more than appreciated!!!

[Sameer]

@Rasheed you are great man, its working 🙂

i was following the below links and i was just stuck ( it was not working)

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/
http://www.anttivaihia.com/blog/2012/06/how-change-language-bbpress-20

I think they should update the above contents to save others time as your solution works like charm 🙂

Once again thanks you very much

[Rasheed Bydousi]

it is “bbpress-ar.mo”

[Sameer]

is this bbpress-ar.mo or bbpress-ar_AR.mo ??
i am confused now 🙁

[Rasheed Bydousi]

Add the file “bbpress-ar.mo” to the path:
/public_html/wp-content/languages/bbpress/

[Sameer]

@Rasheed

Thanks bro, really you made my life easy.

one thing more i have replaced the old file with this one how should i delete the cache as its not reflecting the changes

Thanks in advance

[Rasheed Bydousi]

You have an “export” link at the bottom of the page:

@Rasheed

Can you please share Arabic Language files for bbPress 2.2.3
I didn’t find it for latest version of bbPress

Thanks in advance

[Zachary DuBois]

Opened a ticket: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2365

[markusloffler]

Hi all,
I installed the latest version of wordpress and then bbpress on top of it.

How do I install themes, like the ones that can be found here: http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes/page/2? I searched through the web, but I couldn’t figure out how.

[Zé Fontainhas]

From https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2151 ,here’s a quick hack to turn bbPress activity recording on, on sites that have the Discourage search engines option checked. Put this somewhere in functions.php or in your own plugin’s code:

<?php

add_filter( 'bbp_is_site_public', 'yourownprefix_enable_bbp_activity', 10, 2);

function yourownprefix_enable_bbp_activity( $public, $site_id ) {
	return true;
}

?>

Today I had a guest post published on WP Tavern which is largely about bbPress. It also talks about functionality like @ddean ‘s Topics for Posts plugin.
