This is the short story:

WordPress.com is a hosting platform that makes it easy for anyone to publish online. You don’t have to download software, pay for hosting, or manage a web server. WordPress.com has hundreds of themes, and includes the functionality of many plugins, but you can’t upload your own plugins or themes.

WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, and edit the database.

But you should read http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ too.

Hey guys –

I’m using the Pinboard theme as a base in a WordPress Multi-site. This has been complicated but I’m getting it together.

The BBPress plugin loads and works perfectly except for one issue: it is breaking in four-column layout on the top level (i.e. the “Forum” page). Within the sub-forums and within the topics themselves it lays out fine.

Here’s the messed up layout:

But then if you navigate down a level, to a forum, it lays out fine:

http://www.itinerantangler.com/blog/podcasts/boards/board/fly-fishing/

So it’s obviously just a settings issue with the top-level forum. Is there a place I can go swap over to like a four-colun-layout.php or something like that for that top level? I’m comfortable using the editor to customize the site.

Thanks!

OK I think I’m ready to move forward……

I now have a (temporary) database set up into which I’ve imported ONLY the bbPress tables:
bb_forums
bb_meta
bb_posts
bb_tagged
bb_tags
bb_term_relationships
bb_term_taxonomy
bb_terms
bb_topicmeta
bb_topics

AND I have another (temporary) database into which I imported ONLY the WordPress tables:
wp_commentmeta
wp_comments
wp_links
wp_options
wp_postmeta
wp_posts
wp_term_relationships
wp_term_taxonomy
wp_terms
wp_usermeta
wp_users

In theory I could change out the database called in my wp-config.php file to this second database and my site would be just the same as it is now, minus the Forum which isn’t working anyway.

I did NOT export the wp_bbp_converter_translator to anywhere since it sounds like that’s part of the problem….

SO what’s next? Do I try the Tools>Forums>Import Forum again? OR should I switch to the newer, no-bbPress database and then import the forum from the existing (or backup) database? Although it seems straightforward my prior experience has me cautious and I’d rather have some expert guidance before I try anything else yet….

OK, suspect i’m just being thick here.

I am running bbpress 2.2.4 as a plugion on wordpress 3.5.1

http://www.gospbc.co.uk

When I click a users avataor or username I get a profile page like this :

How do I tweak this to display other info that the user has entered, such as location, name, etc.?

There’s lots of talk on the fourm about adding extra fields to registration or removing things such as URLS, but this seems to assume that people are seeing much more than I am on the profle page !

Help with what files to edit, or just what i need to do would be much appreciated !

[Onyeka Aghanenu]

I’m having this problem as well. I want to use the BBPress breadcrumb on Forum pages, and Yoast everywhere else, but I can’t get the bbpress crums to work unless i disable it completely.

[Lynq]

I like bbPress it’s awesome. Like most open source software I like to get stuck in and break stuff then fix it, you learn a loads from doing that.

I agree phpbb and some others are easier options in certain areas, but the integration with wordpress is amazing.

Good luck with your forums 🙂

– bbPress 2.3.1 – WP 3.5.1 – Buddypress 1.7 –
When you change the FORUM ROLE any user via forum, then in the WordPress administration is forum rule unchanged, even though the user already has rights moderator or administrator. Can you change the forum role of the user via WordPress administration or not?

I tried to change the user role of the participant to moderator in the WordPress administration and nothing happened. I tried to change the role through the forum and role has changed, but the administration remained WordPress original role. Is this normal?

[Saintvittsdance]

Same problem. After installation i have login widged in plugins, but i haven’t “forum” button and i have no permissions to enter plugin settings. WordPress 3.5.1 mantra theme.

I think he meant the changelog at the WP Plugin Directory because that hasn’t been updated yet.

[Julien1975]

Fixed my forum (but not solved).
— ALERT MAY DAMAGE YOUR FORUMS —

What I did:
1) deactivate plugin + delete plugin
2) manually installed older version from SVN (https://bbpress.svn.wordpress.org/branches/2.2/)
3) export forum data (from Tools)
4) reset forum plugin
5) update plugin through standard plugin process
6) installed wordpress import plugin
7) imported forum data

[John James Jacoby]

There is no changelog. What’s changed?

There is a changelog, you just need to read the blog post this topic is connected to. 🙂

Or, even better, keep an eye on Trac if you’re concerned about the exact changes.

I have WordPress 3.4.2 and BBpress 2.3

The problem, I see the meta/header of reply’s just I dont see the message-reply text??

Thanx in advance!

[Julien1975]

Unfortunately my bbPress does not allow admin to access settings anymore.
Forum is still publicly visible and it’s possible to post, but settings are “gone”.

I tried to figure out for 2 hours before writing here.
Wordpress debug says: PHP Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init().

.. is it possible to add features to the Post Editor? I can add custom meta boxes to regular and custom post types in WordPress but is it possible to add them to the bbPress editor

[drrxa]

As @tbermudas I have also lost the tinyMCE editor on front-end.

I try to go back to version 2.3, but the zip file in WordPress repo for version 2.3 actually contains version 2.3.1. Where can I download version 2.3?

Thanks.

[Sheri Grey]

Jetpack developers are tracking this issue at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/foreach-error-in-223-update and there is a changeset posted there if you feel comfortable editing the core code before a stable update gets released.

[Tbermudas]

I have installed the update in my tester site and I have lost the visual editor, also the “Ckeditor for wordpress plugin” seems to be not compatible.

[Lazylonewolf]

There seems to be a conflict or something if used with Jetpack. Others users as well I have been having some problems.

Daniel,
I was able to solve the problem by creating a new wordpress administrator. When logging in as that user I could then access the Forum settings and assign the messed up users to forum keymaster role. See if that works for you.

[Attention]

Hi,

This is my main forum page where all forums are listed: http://vladimircuk.com/carolalt/forums/

Where is this page located and how do I edit it? I can’t find it anywhere in WordPress Pages admin.

Any advice appreciated.

[John James Jacoby]

Drop feedback about bbPress 2.3.1 here!

See the 2.3.1 milestone on Trac for changes.

From the blog post:

Also in bbPress 2.3.1, we’ve disabled the use of WordPress’s visual editor (aka TinyMCE.) The HTML editor is still available, and works extremely well. If you want to enable the visual editor again, we’ve added a code snippet to the codex that will turn it back on for you.

Hi, i’m using bbpress and WPML together.
The problem is that when i activate WPML plugin, the admin menu of bbPress disappear.
As soon i deactivate WPML, the bbPress menu appears.

Versions used:
Wordpress 3.5.1
WMPL 2.8.1
bbPress 2.2.4 (tried also 2.3 but the problem still remain)

[TammiMetzler]

Hello,

I recently installed bbPress 2.3 on my WordPress site (version 3.5.1) and when I first tried to activate the plugin, I got a message that says I do not have sufficient permission to access this page. I clicked the back button and tried again, and it activated successfully. However, the Admin buttons didn’t show up on my Dashboard, and “Forums” is not an option in my Settings. I’ve tried removing bbPress completely, both through my WordPress dashboard and my web host’s cPanel, and re-installing to no avail. The only other plugins I activated recently was one for buddypress (which I removed to see if it was the issue) and I also installed a Digital Access Pass membership plugin. I have no idea what else to do to correctly install bbPress; any ideas? Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Tammi

WordPress Version: 3.5
BBpress Version: 2.3

I know this question has been asked alot on how to embed video and add youtube videos, I know how to do this by simply posting the link in the topic…. and it will automatically insert the youtube video…

But my problem is i want to have a few video tutorials that i want to insert and the mp3 or mp4 files are located on my server, i dont want to upload them to youtube…

so i was wondering if their was a way to use my own videos, i have already tried inserting the link that points to my server http://mysite.com/video.mp3 and it will not work that way..

So i tried creating a topic from the admin and use the insert media and it did not work that way , then i tried using a plugin to allow jw player shortcode and it did not work that way either… this is one of the plugins i tried using http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress2-shortcode-whitelist/ with no sucess…

Then i tried adding this code to my functions.php

add_filter(‘bbp_reply_content’, ‘jwplayer_tag_callback’);
add_filter(‘entry_content’, ‘jwplayer_tag_callback’);
add_filter(‘bbp-reply-content’, ‘jwplayer_tag_callback’);
add_filter(‘entry-content’, ‘jwplayer_tag_callback’);

this method did not work, it seems almost impossible to add my own video from my server, most the topics are super old 3 to 4 yrs old which really doesnt apply to the latest version of bbpress since so much of the code has changed, if someone could help me out or point me in the right direction i would appreciate it…

I am not trying to let my users be able to use shortcodes as i read they are a security risk and i am not trying to let my users be able to upload or use their own videos from a strange server..

I just want to be able to use my own videos instead of using youtube.

I uninstalled bbpress from a multisite wordpress 3.5.1 installation, but the bbpress roles have stuck around and show up in my admin dashboard. How do I get rid of them? (I do not intend to use bbpress at this time, so I don’t need to save any bbpress settings).

Thanks!
