Hi guys,

I installed bbpress and I realized everything works ok except topics. I’ve been trying with different users and creating topics, but once I “send” nothing shows up in the forum.

It sais that “some person” wrote something, even in my dashboard in wordpress showes an open debate but in the forum where all people should see is not showing.

I’ve been checking and changing the wordpress theme, I’m using SmartTheme from Optimizepress company, and when I disabled this and enabled “Twenty seventeen” theme topics were showed.

So, in this case there’s something I can do? Any workaround?

I need to fix this in some way…

Thank you.

I’ve been having a similar issue (WordPress 4.9.8, bbpress 2.5.14, no Buddypress). Forum users with the Participant role were able to view the existence of private forums but not any of the actual topics inside them. I tried creating a new role with read_private_topics enabled as well and assigning it to them, but to no avail. The only thing that seemed to fix it is what @kingstringy mentioned above:

The only thing that repairs the issue is switching each forum to public, saving the forum, then returning the forum to private status and saving again. Bulk edit doesn’t work — only updating each forum individually.

After having done that, users with the standard Participant role are able to see private forums again, with no other customization or plugins needed.

I wonder if there is a bug with the Bulk Actions dropdown in the Forums admin page? That’s what I used to set them to Private originally. Maybe it failed to update something that it needed to, whereas setting the visibility to Private on each forum individually succeeded.

I hope that it is appropriate to ask this question here. (WordPress 4.9.8, bbPress 2.5.14, Theme:TwentyTen)
I hope that one of my forums can automatically close the topics after 30 minutes.
I read this discussion (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/auto-close-topic-after-some-time-days/) and tried to modify it myself, but I failed.
Later I found a plugin called BBP Close Old Topics (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-close-old-topics/).
I tried to modify it myself, but in the end it can only be automatically close the topics after one day.
I guess… is this the problem with these code?

// Get timestamp of last activity of the topic.
		$last_active = strtotime( get_post_field( 'post_date', bbp_get_topic_last_active_id( $topic_id ) ) );

		// Compare last active timestamp with defined time period.
		if ( $last_active < strtotime( '-' . $this->old_topic_age_setting() . 'days' ) ) :

Is there something missing here that the command can only catch D (day) and not catch i (minute)?

I’m at my wits’ end with this issue……Thank you so much.

Hello,

I just installed bbpress on my site (greenteacoffeedate.com) and noticed that it hides notifications from another plugin in user’s profile. It does not hide standard BP notifications like, someone sent you a message or commented on your activity post (in BP, not BB). The plugin in question is this one and it’s no longer supported so I can’t reach out to the plugin designer. So members can’t see who viewed their profile in notifications.

Buddypress Who clicked at my Profile?

I looked at the code in my Chrome inspector and this is what happens. Please see linked image:

So I can see that the description is turned off ( the one on top) but where do I turn it back on (like in the bottom yellow rectangle). I tried to play with display tag in css but it doesn’t seem to do it. Any thoughts?

[Robin W]

you would be better to ask the GC bbpress attachements author on his support site, as it is his function you need to alter

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gd-bbpress-attachments

[Robin W]

I can’t see that code has been loaded

1. is that code still in your site?
2. whereabouts have you put it ? ie in which file or part of wordpress

[Robin W]

titles are theme related, so you would need to modify the theme template being used by bbpress.

see

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

part 8, and create a bbpress.php file from the template your theme is using to display bbpress. This plugin will show you what templates are being used

Show Current Template

[Robin W]

the bbpress theme is here

https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/bb-base

[Robin W]

that is how it looks out of the box.

Try using

bbp style pack

to let you style it how you want it

[gokberktalu]

I installed bbpress on my wordpress site and it looks like this:

https://ibb.co/fRQMSU
https://ibb.co/bu3mu9

It doesn’t look remotely good like it does on this website.
I use the theme “Twenty Sixteen” along with the plugin “Customize Twenty Sixteen”
I also use “LearnDash”.

Can somebody tell me what could be the reason for the strange looking page?

[Robin W]

bbp style pack

lets you style

in dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>forum templates

you can select an alternate display

or just have vertical lists in

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Display

What to do if a WordPress Plugin Breaks Your Site: How to Fix the White Screen of Death

[remcuatotgiare]

I just got notice when I went to the backend of my wordpress site that there was an update. It was a bbpress update, so I clicked to install it and it broke my website. I can’t get to the plugins page or anything to uninstall the update. Please help! Even the front end of my website is down.

It looked like it installed correctly, but I get a HTTP ERROR 500 when I try to access my homepage or any other page on the website.

“Downloading update from

Unpacking the update…

Installing the latest version…

Removing the old version of the plugin…

Plugin updated successfully.”

Thank you,

[Robin W]

As far as I know the two work together

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

I am constantly receiving a 404 error if a non logged in user clicks on the groups at https://wushantcm.com/groups/ and the forums on https://wushantcm.com/forums/ I am not sure since this could be a cache problem. I am using Hyper Cache and do miss the function of page cache time out, seems this function doesnt exist anymore and also not sure if it could be in relation with my plugin.
Wordpress Version: Version 4.9.8
bbPress Version: Version 2.5.14

Not in my use case, @robin-w (and I have your great plugin installed and active, by the way). That’s because I want the forum to display WordPress user roles, not bbpress roles. From what I can see in your plugin, I can only change the name of bbpress roles. I hope this makes sense!

[yehiasalam]

Hello,

I have a wordpress installation with both bbpress and BuddyPress installed. I’m trying to create a user from code and automatically setting the forum role to participant. I tried using the bp_core_signup_user but it has not effect. This is the part of the code where im creating the user:

						// create the user from the bp_core method, to make sure it passes the activation mode first
						$user_id = bp_core_signup_user(
							$post->username,
							$post->password,
							$post->email,
							[]
						);
						bbp_set_user_role( $user_id, "bbp_participant" );

Attached is the user profile after creation from code:

[Robin W]

you can change names using my plugin

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Roles

[mauroapo]

So i’ve just started to use bbpress and i need some help.
I’ve made the user registration and login pages but whenever someone log in, this black bar appears at the top
https://ibb.co/naHGEz
i’ve made login in other forums that work with bbpress and it doesn’t appear. If someone know what i’m doing wrong i’d love to know.

One more thing, i’ve been having some difficulty in design the fórum and setting it up properly. I have the bbpress complete pdf and found some other guides online but i’d like to know if any of you have some good start up guides for bbpress.

Thanks
