Are you referring to Mingle Forums?

If so I could not repro this with bbPress 2.2.3 and Mingle Forums 1.0.33.3

• WordPress Role = Administrator | bbPress Role = Keymaster
• WordPress Role = Subscriber | bbPress Role = Moderator
• WordPress Role = Subscriber | bbPress Role = Participant
• WordPress Role = Subscriber | bbPress Role = Spectator

The above was all I tested but each works as expected:

[kraigg]

I’m having problems with my forum, where only Administrators can see topics (new and old) in the forums. Everyone else with non-Administrator user roles cannot see topics, only replies. If I log in as a normal user and go into a forum topic, it shows only topic title, replies (if any), but no initial topic content.

I’m using BuddyPress 1.6.2, bbPress 2.2.3, WordPress 3.5, and I’m also using the User Role Editor plugin.

If I give all users the same user roles as the Administrator, they can now see topics, but obviously I don’t want to give everyone admin access. Do you know what role I need tick in User Role Editor so that all users can see topics?

Here are the user role I currently have set for a normal user: http://imgur.com/XsWPg

It appears that bbPress Sweedish translations are a bit all over the place:

bbPress Dev – 87% Complete https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/sv/default
bbPress 2.2x – 0% Complete https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.2.x/sv/default

Also WP Sweeden had previously operated there own translations here
bbPress 2.1 http://wpsv.se/oversattning/projects/bbpress/21
bbPress 2.0 http://wpsv.se/oversattning/projects/bbpress/20

I think the best idea would be to contact WP Sweeden and ask about bbPress translations

I’ve noticed this for a while, and I’m not sure what is causing it.

Whenever I use an @mention in my forum posts I get a DB error reported in my server’s error log.

Here is an example:

WordPress database error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘http://www.mysite.com/members/dave/’ rel=’nofollow’>@cdave is’ at line 1 for query SELECT ID FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type = ‘reply’ AND post_status != ‘trash’ AND post_author = 11 AND post_content = ‘ @cdave is this still happening Dave?’ AND post_parent = ‘11990’ LIMIT 1 made by

Any idea if this is actually my DB or is it BBPress at fault?

My site title also has an apostrophe in it, and this appears as raw HTML in all notification emails.

Any idea on these 2 things guys?

in a while time i found bbpress is excellent feature as forum so i created a subdomain as forum.domain.com. i install wordpress in my subdomain and bbpress plugin in it but i need your help to explain how to make forum.domain.com/forums into just forum.domain.com ??
thanks

[Stephen Edgar]

Did you run the bbPress 1.1 admin recount tools /bb-admin/tools-recount.php before importing?

You can try importing again now and if that fixed it, good, if not onto phpMyAdmin:

To check the integrity of the bbPress 1.1 database and repair/optimize any tables if needed. The instructions in following are written for WordPress but are the same for any database so follow the two steps ‘Optimization using phpMyAdmin’ and ‘How to Repair WordPress Tables’ here:

[muyilleum]

I’m not sure what is happening here but can’t seem to make a post in this support forum. Here’s my problem again:

I uninstalled bbPress from my blog but found that the additional roles (e.g. Keymaster, Spectator etc) remain. How can I get rid of these additional forum roles now that bbPress has been uninstalled? Thanks

WordPress version: 3.5, bbPress version: 2.2.3

This one maybe?

[Will Brownsberger]

For some strange reason, the list of “topics started” in the user profile does not work in Firefox. It works in IE, Safari and Chrome.

To see the problem, try this link in the several browers.

http://willbrownsberger.com/index.php/forums/users/rich-carlson/topics

In firefox, nothing is visible below the header “Forum Topics Started”, while in the other browsers, a topic list appears as expected.

The behavior is the same for the replies list. In this example, the user has no Favorites and the statement that there are no favorites does appear. In the case of a user with favorites, nothing shows.

So, I guess there is something in the source that generates list for this page that Firefox doesn’t like.

I’m on bbPress 2.2.3 and WordPress 3.5. I have a few theme modifications to bbpress in place, but not for this template and I had noticed that the problem was occurring before I made the modifications.

Baffled. Presumably, the source served to the browsers is all the same.

Any suggestions?

[steveredshaw]

I am just checking out bbPress as possibility for including on a site I am developing for a social group I belong to. Is it possible to set a forum up so that any posts are moderated and approved before they are published?

WordPress ver: 3.5
bbPres ver: 2.2.3

[Hansaplastique]

Oh you of course will need CodeColorer plugin installed …

[Hansaplastique]

Never mind; figured it out (by coincidence).

If anyone is interested, add the following code to your wordpress functions.php;

function t4a_bbp_shortcodes( $content, $reply_id ) {
	return codecolorer_highlight( $content );
}
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_content', 't4a_bbp_shortcodes', 10, 2);
add_filter('bbp_get_topic_content', 't4a_bbp_shortcodes', 10, 2);

[Hansaplastique]

I’d like to offer visitors the ability to use CodeColorer to syntax highlight their code.

I know that shortcodes are basically disabled for security reasons – which makes sense.

But how can I add a “safe” shortcode to bbpress?
The WP plugin bbPress2 Shortcode Whitelist and bbPress do shortcodes are not working (the latter even being risky at best).

bbPress: 2.2.3
WP: 3.5
Theme: my own development

I have a pre-installation question regarding the registration and login parts.

If I install the bbpress into my wordpress site – can I separate the registration and login from the actual wordpress registration and log in so the user doesn’t actually have an account on my wordpress site, but rather their account is only contained for the bbpress? I don’t have a blog or offer replies on my pages, so I have no need for people to create some user account on my site for that purpose. I do use a registration/login on my site, but that redirects users somewhere else away from my site.

So, can this be accomplished in bbpress?

Thanks in advance for your reply…

[Flyhead]

This sounds encouraging. I am running a standalone bbpress forum v1.02, so does it mean that it can simply install WordPress, then install this latest version of bbpress and I can import from there all my existing forums, user datas and threads? Would all the urls correspond with the old ones?

[A.I. Sajib]

Hi,

No, WordPress permalink isn’t affecting bbpress forum posts. It’s taking its slugs from the topic title instead of using post-id.

[Lynq]

Just to clarify, your wordpress permalinks are already set as /post-id/{id} and bbPress is not using this permalink structure? I am not sure if bbPress is setup to be able to use a different permalink structure…

[Lynq]

You might be better off asking on the wordpress forums: https://wordpress.org/support/

[distjoyo1]

tanx so much…yea, so rite “the theme is doing bad things to the WordPress queries (to pull in the topics / replies) ” ..my theme is made v1.3 …but it most have been corrected in the latest version. however is there a way for me to probably correct this by editing some of “made” page code and hw can i correctly troubleshoot this problem…

Hi everyone.

I’m a bit new at this, could anyone can recommend any good appointments plugin for wordpress?  I need it for my Hair salon to get my bookings taken online. I saw one that is called wp-obs (I think), looks pretty advanced. Did anyone have any experience with it? Or tested it? Any feedback  will be appreciated.

John

bbPress uses WordPress’ database to store its data. Specifically, the wp-posts table.
