Hello,
I am completely new to WordPress and bbpress. I have installed the Theme Forest Cinematix theme on my website. It was working fine with bbpress, but it was only displaying 50 forums and I have 62. I was told to go in and change that to the number I needed using the bbpress/includes/forums/template.php and I did this without any problem. It worked fine for a few days, but now it takes forever to load the forums page and it will only show blue links when it does finally load. http://www.nurseboards.com/forums/

If you access the forum through the buddypress groups pages then they look fine. This is really frustrating for me because I don’t know anything about coding. I emailed the theme author, but have had no response. Please help?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks Stephen, I appreciate the feedback. All great suggestions. Unfortunately GoDaddy has made it clear that they will absolutely never update a core WordPress file, nor can they roll back an update even if I wanted to restore the DB on top of a rolled back version. I’ll have to wait for the next release or make my forums public in the mean time.

Hi

We are using bbPress plugin for our forums. We also have the bbPRess-wp4 installed and activated. When we create a private forum the forum topics show up properly. However when we click on the individual topics, it loads contents of the first topic in the forum. For example I have the following private forum called FEA Team. Under it are topics

Test1
Test2
Test3

bbpress Version:2.5.8-5815.
wordpress Version 4.3.1
Clicking on Test3/Test2 does not open the correct topic. It opens Test1- the first topic always. This happens only in private forums. I appreciate any help / info.

Here a solution that worked perfectly for me, from ‘Tylersoden’

If anyone stumbles upon this thread and is interested in a css solution, here is the code I use. It goes in the ‘Appearance’ -> ‘Editor’ section on the wordpress control panel or in ‘~/<your theme folder>/style.css’:

.bbp-template-notice.info { display: none; }

@bsilverop I’ve asked a couple of people for there feedback:

A suggestion was that you could send the following link to GoDaddy that explains the cause of the issue and the fix that will ship as part of WordPress 4.4.1, maybe they’d be prepared to then consider allowing this:

https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/35084

Further, you could take a backup of your current database in its current state, roll back the site to the last 4.3.x version backup you have, then merge in the database changes for the backup you just made. This of course is easier said than done and is far from the easiest of tasks unless you are proficient in MySQL 😉

The 3rd option was to switch to a host that allows some flexibility 😉

I’ll try to get an update from the WordPress Core folks on an approximate timeline of when WordPress 4.4 will ship and post that back here once I know.

[bsilverop]

So does this change just get rolled in to the next version of WordPress? My hosting provider (GoDaddy) wont allow me to change this file as it is a “core” WordPress file, nor can they roll back without rolling the whole site back to the way it was before the update. They have no exception process that allows me to update the file, so I imagine that means I wont be able to fix this until the next version of WordPress is released?

Thanks!
For any others that may need help:
In the latest wordpress installation the “BBloggin Widget” is called “BBpress Login widget” and you drop it in the “Primary widget area” which is located on the right of the middle.

Hello,

I’m pretty new to wordpress+bbpress (been working with it for a few days now). In the past I have used other forum boards, but since I’m using wordpress now I figured while the hell not try out bbpress ?
So far I like it, I’m still working things out but I managed to do what i wanted using google when I was hitting a wall.

Now, what i’d like to do is change bbpress layout from this :

to something like this :

Even with some research I don’t know what/how to modify this. I have read the “Layout and functionality – Examples you can use” in the codex (and actually used one to get the forum list to be block instead of inline) but it doesn’t mention this kind of modification.

My html/css/php knowledge is really basic, and obviously not enough to do this on my own.

If someone could point me in the right direction I’d gladly appreciate it. Thanks !

Wordpress version : 4.4
bbpress version : 2.5.8-5815

There is no answer from the specialists

It is the holidays where I am from.

The currently browsing each post functionality, I am not sure, there is not a plugin that I am aware of that can do this for bbPress specifically or for WordPress custom post types. There are user online plugins that display all users online on the site as an alternative to this. You may need to hire a developer to create this currently browsing functionality for you.

– bbPress Advanced Statistics
– WP – useronline

The images by each forum, follow this topic.

add a "Featured Image" to a forum

Could be a theme, plugin, or WordPress/bbPress issue. You can try the plugin and theme troubleshooting listed below to see if it is only your currently active theme having the issue present. After the troubleshooting come back with some results.

@dlndolgion

Your theme author could have styled the input checkbox on only webkit browsers. I see that you are now using the default WordPress forms, which I usually recommend anyway.

Wordpress Version 4.4
bbpress Version 2.5.8

I am trying to embed just the forum content into my homepage. If I do it with an iframe it displays the header and sidebars which I do not want.

Is it possible?

Hey guys sorry to be the guy and post this I know its probably been post a milllion times. I am using the theme Shore for my Website because its just a theme that I enjoy. Bbpress & Buddypress seem to not want to work with this theme. I need a good forum and social section. I have tested by switching to 2016 themes it worked properly. I also enabled and disabled every plugin, even reverting back to early wordpress versions. Now is there anything I can do in the child theme to customize to get BBpress & buddypress working properly. I have basic knowledge of coding I did some in High School given enough time I can figure it out. Just getting pointed in the right direction would be huge.

Let me know if you need more info I want to make this easy as possible for you.

Many Thanks

Hi,
I know that some users switched to https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-search-widget/ because it gives more customization options.

Hi,
Have a look at the code I used for my bbP Manage Subscriptions plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-manage-subscriptions/). Maybe you find in there what you need.

Bulk actions are next on the list (hopefully by mid January), but feel free to take part of the code for your own project now.

Pascal.

When I try to create a forum, I get the message “invalid post type.”

If I try to access the bbpress settings, it gives the error, “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” I am the site admin, however.

I have completely removed the plug-in and reinstalled it. I had this problem with the previous version of WordPress and still with 4.4.

Any input is appreciated!

Debug log is outputting the following notice:

Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /home/path/htdocs/www/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3787

My debug log is running full, how can I solve this?

Hi all,

I am a newbie so I am sorry if this is an easy answer however I have not been able to find the answer or in the documentation.

I am setting up a forum on a small site and have installed bbpress. I am wondering how to remove the sidebar and add the correct sidebar for the forum options (login, register, search etc.) also is it possible to place these options above the forum? I was watching a tutorial on youtube which showed the sidebar added automatically after the install of bbpress but it may have been an older version.

I am currently using the latest wordpress 4.4, bbpress 2.5.8 and the esteem template. I did try to use twenty fourteen and twenty sixteen temprorarily but couldn’t add the sidebar under widgets as there was no bbpress sidebar.

Thanks,

Tom

Hi,
It is (unfortunately) correct that you cannot install plugins on wordpress.com
Pascal.

[jsoonlee]

I’m a newbie, so please be kind. Is it correct that plugins (except ecommerce ones) are not available for wordpress.com sites? Is there any way to install bbpress onto a wordpress.com website?

Thanks.

Hi all, I need help. I’m very noob in “web”, but I was asked to solve this problem:
on a WordPress 4.3.1 with bbPress 2.5.8 site there is the problem shown on this pic

The three icons on the right are not shown properly. I’ve tried to analyze the problem, and I’ve noticed that for those buttons there are no corresponding classes/objects(?) in the “skin.min.css” file. Adding the missing code with Chrome editor (do not know how to call it), icons are shown, even if I can’t find corresponding “Content” for those three buttons, so I use other buttons icon just to make an attempt.
How can I solve? Are that css file static o dynamic generated? If the second one, is the following error linked with the problem?

I apologize in advance if I was not so clear.

Hi,
this issue is linked to the new WordPress, a bug has already been filed and a patch will hopefully come out soon.
For now to fix the issue (using fix 2), open wp-includes/post.php, scroll to about line 4300 to find function get_page_uri( $page )
In that function replace
if ( 'publish' === $parent->post_status ) {
with
if ( ! in_array( $parent->post_status, get_post_stati( array( 'internal' => true ) ) ) ){

Hi Andy,
bbforums 2.5.8 ? or bbPress 2.5.8 ? 🙂

If you just use bbPress on WordPress, then you can use any plugin that is offering the social integration. I’m using https://wordpress.org/plugins/oa-social-login/ on one of my sites and it seems to do the job, but a lot of plugins exist for that.

Pascal.
