WordPress V3.5.1
BuddyPress 1.6.5
bbPress 2.2.4

I have just moved my group forums from BuddyPress and added a sitewide forum as per these instructions http://codex.buddypress.org/user/buddypress-site-administration/migrating-from-old-forums-to-bbpress-2/

Everything is working except for 1 thing.

Any user with a forum role of Participant cannot see the opening topic post in any thread. They can see all replies. It doesn’t matter if they created it or another user did, they can’t see the opening post.

If I change their role to Moderator they can see the opening post. But, I don’t want everyone to have moderator rights.

I tried changing the capabilities of Participant (using capability manager plugin), but that didn’t work either.

Can someone please HELP!!!

thank you

Well, finally it turned out to me that the wp_posts_fulltext_search table was a custom table that the former dev of the site added (not a WordPress native). 🙂 I’m good to go now.

Thanks, Daniel, sure you could do it with an own function instead.

I saw that there is already a ticket related to the title: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1764
Didn’t test the patch yet.

It looks like WordPress Registrations are not enabled for your site.

You can check if WP is allowing registrations here /wp-admin/options-general.php

(Or a registration plugin is doing weird things)

Apparently with some customization, YARPP can support bbPress.

There’s also the Other Posts plugin, which by accident supported bbPress for a while, so some of us have asked if maybe that could be brought back as a feature.

@johnjamesjacoby do you reckon there are some performance concerns for a plugin like this applied to bbPress? Seeing as “related posts” plugins often come under fire for being performance hogs, I fear those problems would get exponentially worse in a large forum.

Having the same problem here: http://essentialoilbenefits.org/forums/

Tried the quick-fix in my functions.php, but it screwed up everything else and destroyed redirects.

I have the following plugins:

• All in one Favicon
• Autotags
• bbPress
• bbPress Admin Bar Addition
• bbPress Settings
• bbPress WP Tweaks
• bbPress Search Widget
• Select Find and replace
• Google Plus
• HTML Regex Replace
• Jetpack by WordPress.com
• Select Real-Time Find and Replace
• WordPress SEO
• WPEssence Bulk Categories
• YouTube

Hi everyone. I’m in the process of migrating my website from phpBB to bbPress. In modifying the template, I feel like I’m pretty limited to what I can change without getting into modifying core files.

Basically, this is what my phpBB forum looks like –

And this is how my bbPress looks like right now –

I want to retain the look of the former, but in the archive-forum.php template file, the only code that is being called in that area is “bbp_get_template_part( ‘content’, ‘archive-forum’ );”

It looks like bbp_get_template_part() is calling the entire thing, whereas I’m used to phpBB giving me individual tags – I guess their equivalent to what you’d call shortcodes? – for the category name, the forum name, number of posts etc to place them precisely where I want them in the template.

So what am I missing? What file can I modify, or what functions could I call, that would allow me that same level of control?

Hopefully this is coherent. I’m pretty new to using bbPress – and BuddyPress, and WordPress… – so I feel a bit mentally fatigued from learning these systems, lol. Any help would most certainly be appreciated. Let me know if anything needs clarification, and thanks in advance to anyone who reads this wall of text. Cheers.

Hi guys,

I’m implementing fulltext search for my company’s forums site which is based on bbPress 2 (plugin version 2.2.4). I think I should start with the wp_posts_fulltext_search table (MYISAM engine) that’s intended by WordPress for fulltext search. However, this table is not updated whenever a bbPress forum topic/reply is created/updated/deleted. How should I handle this problem?

[allg33k]

I’ve seen a bunch of posts about this same thing but it doesn’t seem to work for me. I installed and made 3 forums. However when I go to http://mydomain.com/forums I get a 404. I originally had a page called forums which may have caused this. I went back deleted the plugin and reinstalled and no luck. Another post said to go to the permalinks page and that will automatically refresh the settings. That hasn’t worked either. So as it is, if I’m signed into my wordpress admin I can create new forums and view them individually, however I do not have a Forums page that I can link to in my header. Please help. 🙂

Have the same problem (i.e. numbers and bullets are stripped out of the display) and I am using
Atahualpa Theme and bbpress 2.2.4 and have the WordPress Fancy editor option switched on.

I tried the solution offered by @michaelhpdx but it didn’t work. Perhaps I put Michael’s in the wrong function.php? I put it in the function.php in bbpress/admin. I notice there also on in bbpress/common and perhaps it needs to go under the theme?

Regards

Will

You need to upgrade your bbPress 1.02 to 1.2 first.

Once that part is completed then you setup WordPress with the bbPress 2.x plugin and import your bbPress 1.2 forums into bbPress 2.x.

Bonjour, Je viens d’installer bbpress sur le thème clubber  : http://themeforest.net/item/clubber-events-music-wordpress-theme/3427687

Quand je suis sur la page forums j’ai un message d’erreur : Warning: array_key_exists() expects parameter 2 to be array, boolean given in /homez.714/actumeta/www/wp-content/themes/clubber/includes/functions-layout.php on line 61

Comment faire pour corriger cela ?

Please can someone help with answers to the couple of questions above. I think you would be helping a lot of people if we can figure out a good way to integrate WordPress SEO with the BBPress forums used within BuddyPress.

If you can help please, and I can then get this to work, I’ll post the result back again so others can benefit.

Many thanks.

I am currently creating my first wordpress theme. I want it to be compatible and work with bbpress, but i’m running into some snags.

First off, I would like the “fancy editor” or “visual editor” to be available to users replying to and creating forum topics. But the Visual editor does not work, you cannot click on its tab to switch to it, you are forced to use the html editor. I do have the fancy editor option enabled in the bbpress options.

When i activate the twenty ten theme the Fancy Editor works as intended. But not with my theme im developing.

Is the a theme option, or theme support I need to include in my functions.php to get the fancy editor to work?

Thanks.

I have tried to upgrade my install of bbpress from 1.0.2 to 1.2 (so I can migrate to the plugin version) several times now and I only get a white page. I verified my versions…

Wordpress 3.5.1
PHP – 5.3.3
MySQL – 5.1.61

I disabled all my bbpress plugins, copied over all the files, made sure my template files (custom theme) and my bb-config.php file were still there. I only get a white page after the upgrade. Page source says there is zero code in the page. I have seen other posts with this problem, but have not seen a resolution to the issue.

Am I missing something?

I found at last what I was looking for:
https://github.com/turtlepod/gt-bbpress-author
here is a “GT | bbPress Author Drop Down” that works like a charm!
It works for me in BuddyPress, with bbpress forums, WP 3.5.1

I could not find the plugin in the repository, just in github.

For non-specialists:
You have to copy the file content (that you see on the github page) in a new file, save it as a php, put it in a zip file on your desktop, and then install the plugin by using the “uload a zip” feature in your wordpress installation.

[horiamar]

there is a plugin, works for me just partially:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/orbisius-bbpress-enhancer/
the problem is, I cannot change replies-authors, but just comments (topics) authors. Otherwise, it works fine!

[horiamar]

I tried to use the bit of code postet here above by Anointed.
I put it in the functions.php file of my buddypress theme.
It didn’t have any effect…

On the other hand, I found a plugin that does the job, but just partially:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/orbisius-bbpress-enhancer/
(Orbisius bbPress enhancer)

This plugin works fine, but it allows me to change only the COMMENTS authors, not also the REPLIES authors.

(forums in bbPress consist hierarchically in: FORUM > TOPIC > COMMENT > REPLY)

I Would be grateful if any coding specialist among you would tell me what to do with the codes above, to get them working (for comments AND replies).

bb press 2.2.4
Wordpress 3.5.1

Hi Guys,

wondering if someone can help me out with the following bbpress query. The tag below when used directs website users to the profile page for wordpress.

My Profile | %admin_url%/profile.php

Does anyone know the tag required to take bbpress forum members to the bbpress profile page where mambers can also see the topics they have started?

Thanks for your assistance in advance.

Sam

I am just getting database connection error for your whole wordpress install at the moment.

[Spudnic]

Users can create new topics perfectly fine, but when a user replies to that topic after they click the reply link to submit the reply, they are redirected to my 404.php page, yet the reply is submitted perfectly fine.

Is there a setting im not seeing where you specify where users are redirected after reply submission?

Wordpress Version: 3.5.1
bbPress Version: bbPress 2.2.4

Other info: Currently developing my own theme. Running wordpress on my localhost.

Hello,

I’m using the latest version of wordpress and bbPress. Here is my site. BestFishingSite.com. And here is a link to the forums. http://bestfishingsite.com/forums/forum/forum-2/

The format of the forum is all messed up. Can you help me clean it up?

[mchelles]

I created a user-profile.php file in my theme so I could customize its appearance. I want to add a link to the author’s blog posts, but am getting stuck on the loop part. When I tried the standard default wordpress loop – it looped the entire profile itself.

Here is the code I am working with:
http://pastebin.com/LAnd9hRn

With the current code, I get a 404 not found error.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or ideas you might have to try!

bbPress search has been implemented from scratch in bbPress 2.3 release. The new search does not piggyback off of WordPress search (which is what happens when you add the code above) and works extremely well.

Version 2.3 is actually in RC1 right now and is very stable, so you could upgrade to that and it would give you the new search feature.

bbPress 2.3 – Release Candidate 1

My recommendation would be to give 2.3 RC1 a whirl. Of course since it is RC1, do a backup before upgrading 🙂

[Jared Atchison]

Here’s the trac ticket https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2283

Any fixes won’t be until bbPress 2.4 so you’ll want to do some tweaks manually (like I mentioned above) in the mean time.
