This is an odd one – I’m getting spam in my bbPress installation. That’s not the odd thing, what is odd is that these are WordPress Comment spams (picked up by Akismet).

So how can people, who are not registered, post comment spam against bbPress topics and posts?

Hi,
I recently installed bbPress Version 2.3.2 on WordPress 3.5.2 and made two topics. However I can’t see a page where my users can see them. I cannot see an option in the ‘Forums’ section in settings on my site so how do I do this?

I have been with bbPress before it was a plugin for WordPress and have to thank all for the efforts and congratulate how far it has gone.
I decided to stick with bbPress after researching many other forums software because of how easy it was to integrate with WordPress.

Since I had some time off from college for the summer I decided to make my own customized theme for the whole site based on what I had. After several days playing with the CSS and a few functions/filters the whole site finally came together.

There is still a few things that I would like to implement, like posts count (which I did but it did not update the numbers, I have to manually repair the forums to keep them updated?) and being able to assign more title ranks (I was able to with Cubepoints but that project seems dead).

Just have a peek at my forums and let me know what you guys think. 🙂

@thesnowjunkies @johnjamesjacoby @undyingearth @olivier-lettinga So here’s what I did, it looks to work but I haven’t fully put it through its paces. I’m also kind of a n00b with this PHP WordPress thing so hopefully this isn’t a terrible idea. I basically used an add filter on bbp_get_time_since and did a regex string replacement on the output removing anything from the first comma up to ‘ago’.

function short_freshness_time( $output, $older_date, $newer_date ) {
  $output = preg_replace( '/, .*[^ago]/', ' ', $output );
  return $output;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_time_since', 'short_freshness_time' );

As the author of the bbPress Moderation plugin (http://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpressmoderation/) I am unable to continue maintaining the plugin or add any new features. I no longer use bbPress or the plugin.

If anyone would like to take over maintenance/ownership of the plugin, then please let me know and I’ll add access to the WordPress repo.

Thanks.

Ian.

I’ve got a couple thousand users that I’ve signed up as WordPress subscribers using Gravity Forms User Registration addon. So none of these users have an actual “Forum Role” assigned.

I’ve been using bbPress 2.2.4 for awhile now and after updating to bbPress 2.3.4, any of these users trying to view a forum get the 404 error page. I can fix the issue for an individual user by manually giving them a “Participant” Forum Role. Or if I put my site back to bbPress 2.2.4, forums come back for everyone.

Also, what’s interesting is that forums come up fine if a user isn’t logged in at all. But after they login, 404 errors.

Is this some sort of bug in the updated version, or did something change in this regard I should be aware of?

And I’m not sure if this is relevant, but this is on a multisite network using Multisite User Management plugin.

Hi – I’m having the same problem on a fresh install using Headway Themes: public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/group.php on line 308

I created a new parent so that group forums aren’t added to the Forum Root.

This is using bbPress 2.3.2, Buddypress 1.8, Headway 3.5.5 and WordPress 3.5.2.

Thanks.

@dani-girl, I got it to work! Whew!

I did a lot of different things, including installing an older version of bbPress, but I don’t know if that matters. Actually, it probably does, because I was then able to see the forums on the backend again.

What did seem to make a difference was downloading the Members Plugin and changing the roles for Administrator. A bunch of them were not checked, including the role of a Participant. I checked everything and was able to post again.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/

I hope that it doesn’t do this again. A major pain!

At the moment, the only way to get a hierarchy is to do it with template edits. I haven’t gotten there since I’m working on WordPress, bbPress and BuddyPress all at once, so I can’t help you out there. There is a trac about it here, though: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1958

Looks like it’s coming in bbPress 2.5, if there’s time.

How did you go about getting the title for the freshness link? I was actually going to do that last night, but I haven’t gotten around to it — so a quick heads up there would be awesome.

Oh, and a couple of examples of bbPress forums I’ve seen with a hierarchy (in case you’d like to see it live):

I know this is an old topic, but here is my recent solution to this problem. You can see it live here.

First install Collapse-O-Matic plugin.

Then create a new page/post. And add the code below & save. I hope this helps.

Hi,

I have searched but cannot find a plugin that works as a widget – it lists your latest topics, along with a thumbnail of the featured image you’ve added to the topic. The widget can be used in your main WordPress powered blog to promote the forum.

Does anyone know if there’s such a plugin out there?

Hi. I’ve recently installed the bbpress plugin on my WordPress site along with BuddyPress. I’ve managed to setup groups and forums as well as topics, but when you click on a topic (as a normal web user) you are directed to a blank white page with <br> in the browser’s tab. Anyone have any ideas about what the error is and how to resolve it? Any help is much appreciated!

Website is here – isparchitecture.com – if you care to take a look.

Hello BB’s

I am an beginner when it comes to wordpress/bbpress and have been playing around with it for a little while now.

I am trying to create separate forums on my homepage, seperated by a unique forum/parent/category title like in this image.

http://imageshack.com/scaled/large/853/p8hr.jpg

Does anyone know how/if this is possible.

I am trying (like a lot of you) to make bbpress a bit more like VBulletin and IPBoard, and this is/would be a major layout improvement.

Thanks in advance

P.H.

I am extremely frustrated with a recent install of bbPress and BuddyPress.

My understanding is that, when you create a forums page with the same name as the bbPress forum slug, this page will show the list of forums.

Mine did not. I finally used a short code on a new page and it gave me a list of forums – though the formatting leaves a lot to be desired.

Unfortunately, every time you click a forum link on the page, it takes you to the listing of forums. You can never access the individual forums to post questions or comments.

Thoughts on how to fix this?

There must be a way to do this. I am in includes/common/template-tags.php

I see:

/** URLs **********************************************************************/

/**
 * Ouput the forum URL
 *
 * @since bbPress (r3979)
 *
 * @uses bbp_get_forums_url() To get the forums URL
 * @param string $path Additional path with leading slash
 */
function bbp_forums_url( $path = '/' ) {
	echo bbp_get_forums_url( $path );
}
	/**
	 * Return the forum URL
	 *
	 * @since bbPress (r3979)
	 *
	 * @uses home_url() To get the home URL
	 * @uses bbp_get_root_slug() To get the forum root location
	 * @param string $path Additional path with leading slash
	 */
	function bbp_get_forums_url( $path = '/' ) {
		return home_url( bbp_get_root_slug() . $path );
	}

/**
 * Ouput the forum URL
 *
 * @since bbPress (r3979)
 *
 * @uses bbp_get_topics_url() To get the topics URL
 * @param string $path Additional path with leading slash
 */
function bbp_topics_url( $path = '/' ) {
	echo bbp_get_topics_url( $path );
}
	/**
	 * Return the forum URL
	 *
	 * @since bbPress (r3979)
	 *
	 * @uses home_url() To get the home URL
	 * @uses bbp_get_topic_archive_slug() To get the topics archive location
	 * @param string $path Additional path with leading slash
	 * @return The URL to the topics archive
	 */
	function bbp_get_topics_url( $path = '/' ) {
		return home_url( bbp_get_topic_archive_slug() . $path );
	}

I figure there MUST be a way to add the forum to the topics URL. I’m doing this because I have a action based upon the URL string and need to have all things on that forum associated with that at a URL level. I’m more of the design end than the development end of things and though I see it there I cannot seem to bridge the gap.

I was also reading: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2258 – has there been any progress here?

Customizing this has taken much longer than expected & I’d like to resolve this. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
TY

Wordpress is in Russian, but the plugins are in English

[pssawhney]

Thank you

[Tecca]

I think the best place to ask would be in the support section for that specific plugin. And if you can’t seem to get it working with/without support, possibly try Yoast’s SEO plugin — I honestly believe it’s the best one around for WordPress.

[pssawhney]

I updated to the latest version of WordPress SEO and when I open my forums none of my threads populate and when I open a topic the most recent thread shows up but no user info or replies populate. I would like to continue using WordPress SEO as a lot of work has been done on it and afraid I will have to change to Ultimate SEO.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am currently using wordpress 3.4.2 and bbpress 2.02
