Hello,

I manage a website (missdots.com) and I’m having issues with my bbpress forum. I’m using wordpress 3.5.1 and bbpress 2.3.1

My issue is that whenever a new user registers to use the forum, they are sent an email with their password as is usual; however, when they go on the site to login, entering the login information does absolutely nothing. The topics and replies still carry the disclaimer “you must be logged in to create a new topic/ reply to this topic”. I’ve tried logging in using the test user I created on both the login page I created and a login widget, both to no avail.

Even when I’m logged in as the admin and can edit pages/posts/etc, it’s still telling me on the website that I must be logged in to use the forums.

I have the forum settings set so that the default user role is “participant” and the general setttings set so the default user role is “contributor”. (Also to keep my forum up and running right now, I have it set so that anyone can post w/o registering, although I’d like to ultimately not use this method)

Does anyone have any clues on how to fix this?

here’s a new plugin which may resolve this issue –

http://www.tehnik-design.com/bbpress-forum-permissions/

This plugin allows bbPress forums to be filtered and restricted based on the users ranks as set by the Members plugin.
The plugin will hide all forums and subforums the user does not have permissions to access.
It will display a 404 error if the user attempts to access restricted forum/topic

I have found a ticket in bbpress trac named Allow to post unfiltered HTML in Topics/Replies It is related to this issue?

@greenshady Doesn’t that plugin make WordPress groups, not BBPress forum roles? I’m trying to do the same thing too.

Important Upgrade Notice: Version 2.0.0 only for bbPress 2.3 or higher!

Download the plugin from here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-search-widget/

Version 2.0.0 of this plugin was released recently, and it has the requirement of bbPress 2.3 or higher in order to work! That’s because bbPress 2.3+ comes with built-in search functionality.

My plugin now builds on top of that and this brings the end to theme & template issues for the search results, finally!
The plugin’s widget is now like an extended version of the regular search widget – you get up to 13 options for the widget and/ or search form – which are really cool, not only for support forums 🙂

Also, now there’s an additional SHORTCODE with a bbPress search form! You can add this Shortcode anywhere Shortcodes are supported. See FAQ for parameters and usage examples.

Further, a new feature I am really, really proud of, is a new Widgetized Content Area for “Not found” forum search results. This means you are not shown this lame & tiny “Oh bother…” message any longer but can customize this whole page via widgets! How cool is that? — This is optional! If this additional widget area has active widgets placed in it then it shows them on the frontend, if the area is empty, bbPress default behavior is displayd.

I hope you like the refactoring and the new features.

If you didn’t upgraded yet to bbPress 2.3+ you really should consider it’s worth it!

Thank you all users for using my plugin, for testing it, for all feedback! You guys rock!
–Dave 🙂

Sounds pretty strange. First things I’d do:

• Check which accounts might have moderator/super admin access
• Check trash/spam
• Check access logs, see if someone removed them</lill of>

All of bbPress’s trash/delete actions perform capability checks against the currently logged in user, so it’s impossible for an unauthorized user account to delete content inside of WordPress.

It’s also possible someone deleted all of the forum content without your knowledge, using the “Reset Forum” tool under Admin > Tools > Forums > Reset Forum

I recently (on Monday) installed bbpress, and activated it. Right after activating it i got kicked out of my site. I can log in but i get the “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page” message. I logged in with my 2 admin accounts and still couldn’t get to the dashboard area. I deleted the plugin folder for bbpress through ftp but that didn’t do anything ( a note on this, when i go into phpmyadmin i still see entries referring to bbpress. like in with usermeta/wp_capabilites)
I have tried a number of things listed both here and on wordpress but nothing worked.
Does anyone have an idea as to how i can fix this. Please keep in mind i am not a programmer, but any help is greatly appreciated.
Wordpress 3.5.1

i am having a problem with the automatically generated links that are suppose to bring you back to the above level pages. when i go into a forum you see the drill down location twice. Once on the line before the forum name and once on the line after the forum name. The first occurrence has the word “forum” in between the the home link and current forum and tries to go to http://www.lbpunderground.com/forums/forum/ were you encounter 404 error. the second version with forums works and leads to http://www.lbpunderground.com/forums/ as it should.
below is example of structure of how it is showing up with some comments added:

Home › Forum › first (“forum” here leads to broken page 404)
first (forum title)
Home › Forums › first (“forums” leads to the correct forum directory)

here is the page the above is taken from: http://www.lbpunderground.com/forums/forum/first/

another similar problem is when you go down into a topic the first line. now has “Topic” as the location between home and the current location on the first line. Again on the 3rd line the the drill down location is correct and functional. In the first line the link “Topic” leads to error 404 also.

Home › Topic › another test (topic leads to 404 error)
another test (topic title)
Home › Forums › category 1 › cat1 forum1 › another test (working drill down links)

the above example is taken from the page: http://www.lbpunderground.com/forums/topic/another-test/

ideally i would like help to remove the first set of links, as their logic is not as ideal as the second set even if they are working properly. Or just a solution to fix them to work properly. But really i am not sure why the first set is there.

here is a description of my setup:
wordpress: Version 3.5.1
bbpress: Version 2.3.1
buddypress: Version 1.7.1
wordpress theme: responsive

The “Visual mode” of the fancy editor is cumbersome and was causing issues for many users, so it was removed in bbPress 2.3.1.

You can turn it back on with this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

I’m using WordPress 3.5.1 and bbPress 2.3.1. My site is here (forums are restricted but I created one sample one that isn’t):

http://www.redkitecreative.com/dev/ivas/forums/forum/sample-forum-for-checking-fancy-editor/

I have ‘Use the fancy WordPress editor to create and edit topics and replies’ enabled, but the fancy editor never appears, not even for logged-in site admins. I tested it with three user levels. I tried switching to Twenty Twelve but it made no difference.

I’m using TinyMCE Advanced on this site, I tried disabling it but the fancy editor is still not appearing. Please help.

[Jared Atchison]

Thanks for reporting. Looks like it is indeed a bug. Hopefully we can get a fix in 2.3.2.

I’d make sure your theme (or a plugin) isn’t disabling wpautop

Just noticed it also seems to install the bbPress widget on my admin frontpage, and if I try to click on one of the categories I get “Hey, Are you trying to cheat?”

I was just able to install bbPress on another fairly new WP install of mine, so it seems like it’s this WP install that is bugging me.

I am using the latest WP 3.5.1 and all themes/plugins are up2date.
I am using latest Arras theme 1.5.1.2.

Here is a list of the active plugins I have running:

Akismet
All In One SEO Pack
Associated Posts Lite
bbPress
Fast Secure Contact Form
GD Star Rating
Google Analytics for WordPress
Google XML Sitemaps
Quick Page/Post Redirect Plugin
Redirection
Simple Local Avatars
Smart Youtube PRO
WordPress Backup to Dropbox
WordPress Related Posts
WP eMember
WP No Category Base – WPML compatible
WPtouch

Hoping someone has an idea as I would LOVE to try our bbPress for my main site.

Thanks!

I have this same issue. I reset to the default user roles in WordPress and the bbPress pages are now available, but to deactivate and reactivate the plugin causes the same issue to come back.

[Jared Atchison]

Plugin that will add back the visual tab to the editor: bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab

No code required. Just activate and you’re done.

Hello again,

I’m new to Buddy Press and trying to experiment with a personal site using WordPress 3.5.1 with I the latest version of my theme, DynamiX, which is supposedly BBPress Friendly.

http://thebrotherhoodguild.com

I am trying to create different groups and it looks as though I have but I cannot seem to actually -go into them. When I click on a particular group it just stays on the current group listing page. From the sites I have seen it should take me into that forum and display all the specific posts for that group. I have made sure that each of the groups have content but I cannot seem to successfully link there.

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I’m new to Buddy Press and trying to experiment with a personal site using WordPress 3.5.1

http://thebrotherhoodguild.com

On Chrome Version 26.0.1410.64 m the Register page will not load (Link). Instead, it keeps going back to the root directory. However, on Firefox 18.0.2 it does load. Not sure why this would happen. I am using the latest version of my theme, DynamiX, which is supposedly BBPress Friendly.

I do have a few plugins installed but I have tried deactivating them and still get this issue.

Hi all,
i’ve tried to read all of the topic opened before but i can’t find the solution.

I’ve a big forum with bbpress (1.5) in a wordpress installation (3.5 and another in 3.4.2).

The problem is that when a simple user, “partecipant”, write a new reply he doesn’t able to edit o delete it.

All i need is that the user can edit or delete their own reply or post forever or at least about 3 or 5 days.

Is it possibile to do this ?

Thanks in advance!

[CorpWritingPro]

I am the administrator on my site and the keymaster on my forum. All other users are members and participants, respectively.

When I try to access the settings features on bbPress, the plugin returns an error telling me I do not have sufficient permissions to access the page. I have deleted both Buddy Press and bbPress and reinstalled both. The error continues.

Neither the forum tab nor the group tab appears on my Dashboard.

I’m running WordPress 3.5.1 with Genesis 1.9.2 and Prose 1.5.2 and Genesis Connect for Buddy Press 1.2.1

Suggestions?

Hello and thank you for the first time that you are helping me and for your Antwort.Ich want to install bbPress 1.2, because I want to test it as a stand-alone forum software. I have problems with the bbPress WordPress plugin and so I wanted to try the forum installation.

[Jared Atchison]

I’d try contacting the developer, Yoast, and see if the can add a setting to disable the WP SEO plugins if bbPress is detected (is_bbpress()), which would allow you bbPress to use its own breadcrumbs on bbPress pages and use WPSEO breadcrumbs on all other areas of the site.

Alternative he could also make his plugin disable the bbPress breadcrumbs all together.

[Jared Atchison]

You’ll likely see a plugin popup in the WordPress.org repo soon that will prevent the need to deal with any code directly.

[pubman]

la79 has it right. I too started having this issue when I installed the following seo plugin. I figured out a work around for my issues but hopefully it helps others.

The info below does not address the OPs question for performance, but rather is an answer to the questions regarding emails being sent out all together.

This does happen unfortuantly and it’s usually do to the server setup. We see this a lot with shared hosting.

The WordPress function that handles email, wp_mail() (more info here), uses the PHP mail function to send it’s emails (bbPress uses this as well). Many hosting environments have a throttle on how many emails can be sent using their SMTP servers, which are used by default.

The solution is to use a different SMTP server/service to send out the emails and not rely on the default one hosting provider’s server uses.

The first thing you will want to do is install one of the many SMTP plugins that are available on the WordPress.org plugin repository. I’ve used WP SMTP before without any issues.

After that’s installed you’ll want to configure that plugin to use your new SMTP service.

Sometimes you can ask your host for this information and by just using their SMTP service through the plugin will fix the issue. Other times it doesn’t, which means you’ll need a new SMTP service all together.

There are a ton of great paid SMTP services available, most should be suitable. SendGrid seems to be a popular one, which gives you 40,000 emails/month for $10.

It’s not ideal that emails don’t always “just work” out of the box, however it almost always boils down to the web host. Especially when some emails send out fine but others don’t go through.
