Hi ! I have the last BBPress integrated witth wordpress 3.5
The forum works fine but when I submit a post (not a new topic) it redirect me to the topic but it adds in the adress bar “%2F”, so that gives me a 404 error. The post is submitted but this is annoying.
Here’s what the links is after I click submit :
http://openmindfestival.ponnuki.net/?forum=marche-aux-puces%2F#post-1343
And it should be
http://openmindfestival.ponnuki.net/?forum=marche-aux-puces#post-1343
I haven’t touch anything in the permalink, I tried to reset them. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin. I’ve deleted all forum and start a new one. Nothing seems to fix the problem. I’ve tried to look online, but nobody seems to have an answer.
Any idea what can cause that ?
Thank you very much.
Here’s the link to the website :

Hello All,
I am looking for a way to disable users from changing their names from within the bbpress interface (/profile/edit/group/1/). This is located on the page where they choose a forum signature. I do not mind if they have a forum signature. However, I would like to prevent them form changing their name.
The site is currently running wordpress 3.5.1, buddy press 2.2.3 and is on a local test machine.
I did some searching on google and the on this site and was unable to find an answer to this question. If I missed it please let me know and my apologies in advance if this in the wrong area.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Regards,
Chevman
Thank you, Stephen Edgar. Okay I tried to install bbPress 2.2.4 plugin on my wordpress 3.5.1 and i get the 3bars: forums, topics and replies. Okay, but my theme iBlogPro Forum needs deep integration and I don’t know how to make it and where to put my iBlogPro Forum theme folder.
I would try contact someone from the http://wp-persian.com/ project or posting on the forums http://forum.wp-persian.com/, you can also try the plugin author directly https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-jalali
You say “Capabilities are saved in the database, per user, per site”. That is clearly NOT the (normal) case. The wp_usermeta table wp_2_capabilities row stores ROLES, not capabilities. Those roles appear to index into the wp_2_options tble row wp_2_user_roles row which contains a list of capabilities.
I have no idea what “Dynamic” roles are nor why bbpress contains a vast amount of capability fidling code, including no less than three files called capability.php. If someone could explain it in terms of actual table rows and colums that might help.
I want a simple setup where Authors can access Private forums but only in the site which they are an Author. The simple coupled set up that JJJ says is too simplistic. But now it cannot be done at all?
By default private sites are hidden to users. There is a weird “Auto Role” option that can adds bbp_participant to all users. But that means that users get access to all forums on all sites. Is that the “Dynamic role” feature?
So turn that off. Try to add bbp_participant role explicitly using action ‘add_user_to_blog’
$user->add_role(“bbp_participant”);
However, that failed to add the user. WordPress really only supports one role per user, certainly set_role() only accepts a single role and purges any others. So I think something is resetting it.
Then I try simply
get_role( ‘author’ )->add_cap( ‘read_private_topics’ ); // for bbpress.
That successfully updates the database (wp_2_user_roles), but has no effect on bbpress. I suspect because one of the capability.php files in bbpress has
case bbp_get_spectator_role() … ‘read_hidden_forums’ => false,
rather than just leaving it out. So capabilities do not merge properly between roles.
I am new to WordPress/bbPress, and having spent many hours in this mess am getting very frustrated. How hard can it be? Users/Roles/Capabilities.

This could be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.
If this is a new WordPress site and a new forum you should be using bbPress 2.2.4 plugin
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/
See the docs on ‘Creating your First Forum’ here and you set the order from withion the WordPress Admini Forum Panel.
https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/#creating-your-first-forum
Can you run through these steps:
- Make sure you are using WordPress 3.5.1 & bbPress 2.2.4
- Run each of the bbPress 1.x recount tools /bbpress1/bb-admin/tools-recount.php
- Perform a forum reset on your bbPress 2.x /wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-reset
- Start a fresh import with the ‘Start Over’ option checked
The “Purge all information from a previously attempted import” is a known issue and it will run endlessly if the `bbp_converter_translator` table is empty and has nothing to purge or it cannot find the table. It is a bit funky but does not affect the actual import as there are other fallbacks in place if it cannot use this table. If you have to start over performing a ‘forum reset’ this does basically the same thing so in between import tries doing a forum reset ensures bbPress 2.x has no forums, topics or replies before you start your import.
The title says it. I have mutliple sites, and I need users that are registered to a site to be able to participate in the private forums of just that site. The problem seems to be bbPress’s totally confused capability model.
By default private sites are hidden to users. There is a weird “Auto Role” option that can adds bbp_participant to all users. But that means that users get access to all forums on all sites.
So turn that off. Try to add bbp_participant role explicitly using action ‘add_user_to_blog’
$user->add_role(“bbp_participant”);
However, that failed to add the user. WordPress really only supports one role per user, certainly set_role only accepts a single role and purges any others. So I think something is resetting it.
Then I try simply
get_role( ‘author’ )->add_cap( ‘read_private_topics’ ); // for bbpress.
That successfully updates the database, but has no effect on bbpress. I suspect because one of the three(!) capability.php files in bbpress has
case bbp_get_spectator_role() … ‘read_hidden_forums’ => false,
rather than just leaving it out. So capabilities do not merge properly between roles.
There is something called Dynamic roles whatever they might be.
Maybe I need to abandon capabilities altogether and hook somewhere else? Maybe one of the numerous plugins works multisite?

I am using bbpress 1.0.2 installed with a iBlog Pro Forum Theme on wordpress version: 3.5.1
The problem is that I can’t make the forum to look like a forum page and it is shown as a blog page. If I create a Forum it is shown in categories. I just want to make my page looks like a forum. Please help me. http://iosbg.freeiz.com/forum/
Hi guys
I am translating bbPress 2.2.4 plugin for WordPress. Unfortunately wp-jalali plugin doesn’t convert the dates related to bbPress topics and replies.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Strange it works in wordpress admin forum backend but not in public area.

Thanks JJJ that was it! The most common mistake!
I was already update wordpress, buddypress, bbpress and my plugins, and then I follow these steps:
1. I deactivate every plugin, except Buddypress and BBpress,
2. I change my theme to the default buddypress theme, (without 082net’s fix on my function.php),
3. I run the Tools > Forums > Remap existing users to default forum roles
4. I change moderator users to moderator role, and then everything works! The moderator has his privileges and everyone can see my forums!
5. Then I change back to my child theme (still working without 082net’s fix on my function.php),
6. and starting activate my plugins one by one, while I was checking if everything works.
At the end, my upgrade forums works fine and the moderators too has there privileges.
My installation is now:
WP Multisite 3.5.1 (was 3.4.2)
Buddypress 1.6.4 (was 1.6.1)
BBpress 2.2.4 (was 2.1.2)
+420k posts, 11k members
Thanks for your help and for your time!
Not to wake the dead (topics), but has there been a way to address this issue? Specific roles for specific hidden forums?
In searching the forum, it seems that I can use the Member’s plugin to allow users and user roles to access the private/hidden forums. But, most of the posts (all over a year old) indicated that this couldn’t be specific to one individual forum within bbPress.
I have multiple groups that each need their own forum, but, I only want them to access one specific forum that’s completely private for only that group of users.
I read that this can be accomplished with BuddyPress groups and forums, but BuddyPress is overkill for what I’m trying to do, as I only need a simple forum.
Thoughts? Options? I have this functionality right now within Vanilla Forum’s, it’s quite easy, but I need tighter integration with WordPress.
All this is handled by the WP plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-importer/
Typically a WordPress site would not have ~3,700 authors…
I would suggest posting on https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-importer and see what feedback you get and we can go from there.
Sounds like we need a bbPress widget for topic tags…
https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/
Maybe create a ticket in trac https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
Ask your host Hostpaedia if they have any instructions on installing WordPress (if not here is the generic Softaculous info) and once you have WordPress running then you add bbPress as a plugin.
Full instructions on installing bbPress are here:
https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/
Create a new WordPress page called ‘New Topic’ and add the shortcode [bbp-topic-form] to the page content.
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ & https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/
It is planned for a future release see trac ticket #2055.
If you search the WordPress plugin repo you should find something that works for you though…
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ try searching for author and/or authors as bbPress users are just WordPress users after all.
We’ve got a problem on our site where random logged in users without the read_private_forums capability can still view and post in stickied topics (not super stickied) in private forums if they know the URL. We’re using s2member, but that probably isn’t relevant to the issue. Also I’ve disabled reading private forums for the Participant role using Capability Manager Enhanced.
bbpress version 2.2.4, wordpress version 3.5.1
I installed BBPress 2.2.3 on wordpress 3.5 and the admin panel doesn’t display a Forum button for me to add forums and topics. When I go to settings, I can see the Forum settings, but nothing else.
I’m using a custom theme, but when I reverted back to twentytwelve, it was the same issue.
Any ideas?
Hi there,
I am using a WordPress site and i want to use the Plugin WP-Members to get Members registered. The Forum only becomes visible when you are a registered user. As i saw in WP-Members, i can add custom fields to the registration (required or not) I want that users allready kinda have to fill in some more information about theirselves = Profile at the registration
My question is: Can all this information username/password and the whole Profile information submitted while the registration in WP-Members automatically added to BBPress. So the user is also autmaitcally registered at the forum BBPress and allready have a Profile with some info which he filled in at the registration in WP-Members.. ??
Thanks for any help
