I have an existing forum that is running off of a stand-alone bbPress 1.-alpha-2855. I need to integrate it into WordPress so that I can update to bbPress’ lates version. Could anyone help me with a step by step way to do that?

I am using WordPress 3.5 & bbPress version 2.2.4. I cannot figure out for the life of me where the 404 page is actually being pulled from. I need to edit the structure of that page a little but can’t find it :/

This is the page I am talking about: http://nviaai.com/forums/forum/members/

I looked at 404.php but that was significantly different, so I’m pretty sure that isn’t it >.< Thanks for your time!

I’m still having trouble with this one. I am using bbPress v2.2.4 with Twenty Twelve (tried it with Twenty Eleven also), and I am having tags stripped out. If I do ol/ul they return as a p tag with br tags separating the line.

Here’s a screenshot of my toolbar for forum posting: http://d.pr/i/qjbM. This is with “Use the fancy WordPress editor to create and edit topics and replies” checked in Forums settings.

If I uncheck that option, I get no toolbar at all: http://d.pr/i/SW05

How can I get a basic formatting toolbar working correctly?

This is a plugin request and I wouldn’t assume that it be rolled into bbPress proper.

A highly prized feature of allowing users to subscribe to sub-forums (via their account page) and be sent notifications (excerpts or full) of a new topic or reply. There are several plugins that capture parts of this, some quite close, but none that have the full functionality.

bbPress Notify
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-notify/
Works great at sending out customized emails at a user role level. But it’s an all or nothing solution and does not let the user pick the subforums they’re interested in.

bbPress Digest
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-digest/
Does a great job on letting the user select the sub-forums (from the user’s account) that they’d like to receive notifications from. Sadly, it’s only a weekly or daily digest.

Marrying those two plugins would produce a wonderful hybrid and would take some doing. I’m a little surprised that this feature has not been created yet, as it is used in several other forum software ecosystems.

Hello,

style.css is not loading in theme. Its just there for showing theme info for WordPress. Try to add it to assets/css/custom.css or from custom css panel in theme customizer

I’m new to bbPress and have a few questions.

1. When a new user registers, they gain access to the backend where they can edit their profile. However it also gives them access to the bbpress dashboard and jetpack. While in jetpack they can modify settings.

I want bbpress to operate like the bbpress forum on wordpress.org.

2. I don’t want any new user to have access to the toolbar, especially access to /wp-admin/. I’ve been trying to figure this out for hours.

Why can a new user gain access to the backend? New users are giving the role of subscriber. Since seeing this, I’ve disabled registration.

how do I remove the sidebar on wordpress forums?
Since the forum does not appear on the list page.

and secondly, how do I customize bbPress login widget?
Because the default widget does not match my template.
thank you

Its a bit hard to see what changes you made… If you think others would benefit from this create a ticket in trac and add your code as a patch https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

[gina]

any idea on how to replicate getting it to work..?

 

thanks. 🙂

[sontru]

No, not for me. Although, it might have remembered my settings for the previous activation and setting saving…

[gina]

sontru – i tried this and it seems it is still adding network users to the main site no matter if auto role is enabled or disabled. you aren’t seeing this?

thanks.

Thank you for your answer.
That’s not the case and that’s my problem. I have access to WP admin panel, but only for Topics and Replys. To be sure I made a new local site with just WordPress and BBPress installed, one user Keymaster and it’s the same thing, not any forum panel. I’m running the french version of WP and BBPress, I don’t think that changes something but I’m gonna try with the EN version to be sure.

[Stephen Edgar]

You should have access to the wp-admin panels when user role is ‘Keymaster’.

The ‘Moderator’ role though outlined here only has the following permissions:

Moderator – Forum Capabilities: publish_forums, edit_forums, read_private_forums, read_hidden_forums

At this stage Moderators cannot see to wp-admin ‘Forums’ panel though it is planned for a future release.

The workaround at the moment is to indeed use the ‘forum’ shortcodes.

[Stephen Edgar]

Can you create a ticket in trac please: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
(Use the same bbpress.org user/pass to log in)

It will be much easier for us to track this there rather than here.

Also include as much information (Your URL structure for your site etc.) as you can and steps to reproduce the problem so we can setup the same to test it.

[Stephen Edgar]

I tried to reproduce your issue but cannot, are you using any plugins that might cause this to be alter from the default WordPress 3.5.1 & bbPress 2.2.4/2.3 behaviour?

Create a user `1 2 3` via WordPress /wp-login.php?action=register
`ERROR: This username is invalid because it uses illegal characters. Please enter a valid username.`

Create user `1 2 3` via bbPress widget/page template (page-user-register.php)
`Registration complete. Please check your e-mail.`

Confirmation email with username and password
Username:`1 2 3`

Via /wp-admin/user-edit.php user details are:
Username: `1 2 3` Nickname: `1 2 3` Display Name:`1 2 3`

Via phpMyAdmin `wp_users` database table:
user_login:`1 2 3` user_nicename: `1-2-3`display_name:`1 2 3`

To log in to bbPress using the either a page using the the page template page-user-login.php or the bbPress widget I must use the username `1 2 3`

[AllenPayne]

UPDATE: I also tried disabling all plugins (except bbpress) and activated Twenty Eleven theme. Still no different..

So this means it either a wordpress or a bbpress problem.

I would also like to mention that used this method to give wordpress it’s own directory and maybe the editor can’t access something. I dont know.

Any other ideas?

Hi everyone,

I’m having a very annoying problem with the tinymce and bbpress. The visual editor works find when posting on wordpress posts and pages but not with bbpress.

The problem is simple. Almost all the text formatting is lost after i save a bbpress topic.

I used the following formatting options: bold, italic and underline.

When i hit the “submit” button, all the formatting is lost except BOLD. not sure why this one remains.

Anyway, i also tried to use plugins to enhance my editor (Ultimate TinyMCE and TinyMCE Advanced). Same problem. All the formatting is lost after submitting the topic. I’ve tried adding images, the get added fine but when i save the topic, they simply disappear.

Can anyone help…This problem has been going on for too long!!!

FYI – i tried disabling all plugins and also changed theme. It seems the problem comes from bbpress.

[Philumptuous]

I’m using the WordPress bbpress plugin. I noticed that when I look at a profile, it only shows the bio, forum role, topics started, and replies created.

However, it allows the user to edit the profile and provide their social network links and other contact info.

It seems odd to me that it doesn’t show the contact information. What’s the point in typing that in if it’s private?

Hi!
I’m running WordPress 3.5.1 with BBPress 2.2.4.
I’ve got a problem:
as a moderator or even a keymaster in bbpress, and Subscriber in WordPress(which I’d like not to change), I don’t have access to the WordPress admin panel to Add forum or Delete forum. In the admin panel I only have “New – Topic” Or “Reply”. The only way I can add a forum is creating a specific page with the add forum shortcode, and there is no way to delete a forum. Would you have an idea for me? Thank you!
