Tested on Nightly x64 and Opera x64 browser.

No login or register button is showing. It just says:

Any idea why this is not working?

Posting as admin seems to work fine. And if I check the box ‘allow anyone to post’ then it works.

I did try googling help and did try some other fixes but they either did not work, I did not fully understand what to do, the links were broken or I just missed something. I am new to the entire WP scene and now I do seem to be stuck.

Here is where I have looked so far:

BBpress new user registration

Users can't reply or create posts

How do people register?

How to get users to be able to post in forums

My bbpress is useless if users can't register…and no one can help?

How can forum visitors register or log in?

after install, user registration, new posts and viewing themes are not working

No login/register button link on forum page

Make a new login page

Thanks.

Hello, I cannot post a topic in Japanese when I use a theme called ExtraNews I purchased. With the theme whenever I type a word and hit space key to convert the word into Japanese, the page automatically starts re-loading itself. It doesn’t happen with TwentyEleven theme. Could you tell me how to fix this issue?

Thank you.

Can anyone help with this please?

1. What is the bbp function that gives me the bbP Topic Post ID for the bbP topic that is currently being shown within a Buddypress group page.

2. What is bbp function that returns value true when a bbP Topic is currently being shown within a BuddyPress group page?

Thanks in advance.

Any try to access another page of the dashboard logs me out.
Any help would be appreciated.

Just as a thought in that it wouldn’t hurt to try is to compare some of the latest and previous versions of bbPress to isolate if it is an IIS issue or a bbPress issue for certain.

The latest /trunk (overnight changes are always expected):
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk

Also try 2.0, 2.1 or any build really via https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags

(Each page has a ‘.zip’ link to download the particular build)

This is what I posted in the WordPress forum, maybe this will be more clear.

I want the forum and topics to have the tree structure in the permalinks. Is there a way to get the bbPress permalink structure to look like this:

When viewing a forum:

Instead of: /forums/forum/forum-slug/

I want it to be: /forum/forum-slug/

When viewing a topic:

/forums/topic/topic-slug/

/forum/forum-slug/topic-slug/

[Lynq]

Have you copied the bbPress compat theme files out of the plugin and into your WordPress theme?

[John James Jacoby]

Something is broken in your permalink settings. Do you have WordPress installed in a “blog” folder off the root of your site, with pretty permalinks turned off?

[Stephen Edgar]

My apologies, I meant to write this quite a few hours ago 😉

It has been quite a while since I last configured an IIS server for WordPress so I am a bit rusty in this regard. The details of what I am using at on the install I referred to above:

– Windows 2008 Server SP2, IIS 7.0, MySQL 5.1, PHP 5.2.14

I don’t see the Windows 7 vs Server 2008 R2 being an issue nor IIS 7.0 vs 7.5 as the current version of ‘IIS URL Rewrite Module 2’ is still the most current version.

Here is my web.config file for that site created within IIS (I have made no manual config changes to the file etc) when I created the site above.

[heylookitsmewow]

On wordpress version 3.5 and bbPress 2.2.3 is there a way to tweak the permalinks on bbPress so they look like

when viewing forum: /forum/”forum name”/

when viewing a topic: /forum/”forum name”/”topic name”/

Having trouble copying over the template. I basically want to use a different header file called get_header(‘bb’) for the BB templates. I read the codex and a few other post and no luck. Here’s what I’ve done:

Uploaded most recent bbPress Plugin and WordPress install

This is what bb plugin tree looks like:

-includes
-languages
-templates
–default
—bbpress FOLDER
—css FOLDER
—extras FOLDER
—js FOLDER
bbpress-functions.php

From my understanding of the bb theme-compatability codex, I copied the contents of the extras folder into a folder in my theme called bbpress.

I added add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); to the after_setup_theme hook

Now it should work!?! Should I be copying the contents of default folder into the bbpress folder of my theme?

[Stephen Edgar]

This is not in the core of bbPress though there are a few email notification plugins you could have a look at https://bbpress.org/plugins/

I think it sounds like @jaredatch’s ‘New Topics Notifications’ is what you need though.

[Alexandru Vornicescu]

can you post this on trac?
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket

[Stephen Edgar]

The entire site here at bbpress.org is powered by WordPress and bbPress

Have you looked at using some shortcodes on WP pages to get what you are after?

Theres widgets too https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/

Hi Stephen @netweb. I just tried creating a WordPress site from scratch with bbpress. When I clicked on reply it redirected me back to the wrong page again. It seems like its my settings with IIS.
If I use the WordPress default permalink structure (no rewrite) it still does the same thing.

What could be in your IIS that I don’t have? Where would this setting be located?

Also, what version of PHP and MySQL do you have? I have PHP 5.3 MySQL 5.1

Thanks

Hi, I want to replace the admin menu “Forums” to a Japanese expression.
I have found in bbpress.php that labels including “Forums” is replaced with the function ‘__’
but somehow it is not working. The menu remains in English.

I created bbpress-ja.mo from bbpress.pot, and placed the file in the language folder.
It is including “Forums” and its translation.
Any help or suggestions?

BTW, the translation for user pages (“Voices””Posts” etc.) and
for admin settings (messages in includes/admin/settings.php) is working.
Troubles only with bbpress.php.

WordPress: 3.5
bbPress: 2.2.3
Theme: skeleton

Hello,

I want to import a phpbb forum to bbpress, i know there is a tool in Tools>>Forums. My question is about the theme. In Phpbb we have a particular theme, can we adapt the theme to Bbpress ? Is the theme imported with the database ? Or we have to re-create the theme for WordPress and bbpress ?

Thanks in advance !

[AutomatedKid007]

Maybe, maybe not. Or not really. Let me explain. Say, for example, you had several hundred groups in buddypress and overtime users (if the option is chosen where users can create their own) decided to change their names for whatever reason, 1) bbpress wouldn’t show any of those changes, at least that’s what I’m seeing; 2) using your example of manually doing it, someone would literally have to try to figure out what the former name was to the new name, locate it, change it along with the slug hoping the new name and slug don’t cause any current conflicts -not to mention potential mass headaches, drama, and a well deserved reason to quit; or 3) i’m not sure it’s even worth to continue to use bbpress if there isn’t more of an integration between the two plugins. Is just make any logical sense that a bp group name change doesn’t pass through to bbpress.

So John, are you saying this is all by design? Why is that?

[John James Jacoby]

#1958 is more than just markup; it will likely take core bbPress changes to query everything efficiently.

Also, @jaredatch — don’t hijack this topic. 🙂

[John James Jacoby]

Or, you could just rename the forum?

[MikeGulett]

I now have a problem where a new topic is not showing in the Forum page. I am using the latest version of WordPress and bbPress. My site is http://mycarquest.com

The Forum page is here and there is a new topic that I created that is not listed: http://mycarquest.com/forums/forum/general

Is anyone else having this problem?

[AutomatedKid007]

I didn’t know where to post this so I figure I would put it in the troubleshooting forum.

Besides confirming the defect with creating a new group and the forum tab not showing up, but if a moderator can pass along another possible issue within the admin area of a buddypress group, and that’s when making a change to the group name – admin > details where those changes do not get passed along to bbpress and show up in the bbpress forums > all forums section.

In other words, the only way to make bbpress to see any changes to a buddypress group name is to delete the group altogether in buddypress and create a new one, then the changes are passed along to bbpress! As anyone would know, you can’t delete an existing Group without losing all the data, correct? ;(

I may be wrong, it happens lots of time, but I think this may somewhat be tied to the forum tab not showing up since they’re both a buddypress bbpress linkage issue.

If this helps, that’s all that counts.

Lets hope it gets fixed.

If you are just trying to copy/move forums/topics/replies from a bbPress 2.2.3 install eg site1.com to a bbPress 2.2.3 install on site2.com you can ‘export’ these via WordPress’ built-in tools (/wp-admin/export.php) and then import to site2.com using the Import (/wp-admin/import.php) tool.

If you are importing from bbPress ‘Stand Alone’ 1.1 or 1.2 you should look for a file named ‘bb-config.php’ and that will contain the correct info you need to import with the bbPress Forum Import tool.

eg.

// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for bbPress */
define( 'BBDB_NAME', 'my_database_name' );

/** MySQL database username */
define( 'BBDB_USER', 'my_database_username' );

/** MySQL database password */
define( 'BBDB_PASSWORD', '1234567890' );

/** MySQL hostname */
define( 'BBDB_HOST', 'localhost' );


And a little further down in that file is the bbPress table prefix
$bb_table_prefix = 'bb_';

They are the values you would use in the bbPress Import Tool setting.
