There is a plugin that enables attachments – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/, however past that currently there is no other method. It’s certainly on the list for core, we just haven’t gotten to it yet.

I don’t even know what to say.

I added 500+ members as “Forum Participants”, because this is a large membership website.

After the update, they were changed to something else. Currently, after the update, all of the members are “Subscribers” for WordPress Role and “-No role for this site-” for Forum Role, but they still have access to the forums.

I hope I don’t have to manually edit 500+ users to change the Forum role. Hopefully the developer can chime in.

Same issue here, also a bit scared to remap user roles. I looked into it, turns out as part of the new bbPress update that restructured some of its own user roles, it actually removed certain capabilities from existing roles. For example, my site-wide administrator role didn’t have the capability to read_hidden_forums or read_private_forums, in addition to 20 or so other bbPress specific capabilities.

If you are using default (or custom) WordPress roles in a bbPress environment, you may need to go in and grant them some of the bbPress specific capabilities.

Yes, but you need to install the New Topic Notification extension from @jaredatch: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-new-topic-notifications/

[David Gwyer]

I have a normal WordPress site with the bbPress Plugin installed.

Is there a hook or template tag I can use to run code when any type of front end bbPress page is displayed (forum/topic/reply etc.)?

I want to run some custom code, but only if the current page is a bbPress page. I don’t want code to run on every page on my site when it’s not needed (i.e. for non-bbPress pages).

Thanks.

Thanks plauclair

Same for me, i think it is beacuse i’m using WordPress 3.5.2.

I would also like to know how to solve this.

[Jared Atchison]

You can also try increasing the memory limit within WordPress via your wp-config. I’d give that I try first, bump it to something like 128mb and see if that helps.

[Stephen Edgar]

Haha… I started reading this and was about ready to hit ‘spam’… Oh wait… NOT SPAM 🙂

Thanks for this and it is a known issue https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1905

It also has a patch that needs testing if you would like to give it some testing 🙂

If you could add any feedback you have to the ticket above it would be greatly appreciated 🙂

[Sam Rohn]

this one is working for me

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cardoza-wordpress-poll/

you may also need to install something like GD BBPress Tools to activate shortcodes in forum topics and replies if you want to embed a poll in a forum post

Ever heard of Sorcerer’s Apprentice? It is a poem by Goethe, set to music by Paul Dukas, and visualized by Walt Disney in the Movie ‘Fantasia’. (See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XChxLGnIwCU)
In the movie, Mickey Mouse, the apprentice, dons the Sorcerer’s cap to animate a broom so that it will do Mickey’s chores for him. The broom soon gets out of control, and Mickey is forced to hack up the broom with an axe. But then each of the splinters of the broom become a broom, and Mickey’s troubles intensify.

What does this have to do with bbPress? An interesting bug. The subscribe (and Favorites) toggle don’t work properly in Topics. Click once, good, state and text go to ‘unsubscribe’. Click again, good, state and text go back to ‘subscribe’. Click again, and nothing *appears* to happen. I’m new to bbPress, but I thought I’d take a shot at troubleshooting. The implementation uses javascript, jquery, ajax, and a wordpress jquery plugin called wpList. In the bbpress file topic.js, the function subsLinkSetup() is passed as an event handler for a click on the ‘Subscribe’/’Unsubscribe’ link. But every time this event handler is called, it ‘delegates’ a new instance of itself, and each new instance delegates a new instance, and so on…
For each click, the number of event handlers grows as follows:
Click # of Event Handlers
1 1
2 2
3 4
4 8
5 16
6 32
n 2^(n-1)
So after the second click, there are two event handlers.
On the 3rd click, the two event handlers each delegate a new event handler(now there are 4), each toggle the subscription state, (essentially canceling each other out) and the state appears unchanged. Since the number of event handlers is always even, their collective execution will always return the subscription state to the same state as that before they were executed.

Example: 3rd click, 4 event handlers, state: subscribed, Event handlers result in the following state chain: unsubscribed->subscribed->unsubscribed->subscribed, and were are right back where we started from.
This is a dangerous bug, because when nothing happens, users tend to click again and again, and 10 clicks (for example) = 2^9=512 event handlers.

A fix that works, but might not be the correct one, because it breaks the encapsulation of wpList (we must peer inside wpList to know that the event handler is bound to the subscription link via .delegate()) is to do the following:
In topic.js, function ubsLinkSetup(), replace the line
subscriptionToggle.get(0).wpList.process( subscriptionToggle );
with
subscriptionToggle.get(0).wpList.process( subscriptionToggle.undelegate() );
This removes the event handler before adding it back.
Parallel fix for favorites.

Hoping to see some fix in the next release

Hi there !

I installed the plugin bbPress, everything goes well, but I have the following problem:

1. TinyMCE is not available in Visual and in HTML no buttons are available.

2. In the headlines I often had multiple words, such as “Private: Private: Forum headline”(like this http://www.timewalks.de/projekte/probe/probe_02/forum2.jpg)

3. When I “Create New Topic” or answers a post I get an error message appears:

Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function ‘sc_save_post’ not found or invalid function name in /home/www/web468/html/wordpress/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 403

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/www/web468/html/wordpress/wp-includes/plugin.php:403) in /home/www/web468/html/wordpress/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 881

When I go back and update the page, the text is available

I assume this has something to do with my theme, because in the theme “eleventwelv” there have been no problems. Can someone help me to get the theme compatible? Thank you!

The free theme is from antistar: http://www.screets.com/gp/projects/antistar_theme.html

[Stephen Edgar]

@rbrightly As per this link, the latest version of the Pagelines Plugin is 2.0.2.

The last version is 2.0.2 , you should update it from my plugins section in the pagelines store inside the wordpress admin panel

If you do want to revert to a previous version you can find them here.

[rmohney]

I have a the latest wordpress installed and I am using a theme from themeforest called bounce.
BBPress 2.2 and Buddypress 1.6.1

The question I have is about user roles. I have a user that is set up as a keymaster for the site as well as the forum. When logged in the edit member shows up in the admin bar at the top while viewing a members profile page.

When I click on edit profile or edit avatar or edit capability I get a sorry page not found. If I change the users site role from keymaster to admin all the above links work. The permalinks are the same when I roll over the edit links so I am confused as to why they show a page not found. If its being redirected because of the user rolls thats fine I just need a way to change it so a keymaster can edit a user. I would like a moderator or keymaster to be able to block a user and edit them without having admin rights.

Hope you understand what I am trying to do. Im a pretty much new to all of this.

I tried the user role editor plugin but was unable to get it to work.

I have a another post with another issue concerning the users replies created pages I could use help on also.

http://www.mohneyswebdesigns.com/billsdirtlatemodels

I would be grateful for any help on either of these issues.

[remike]

I managed to fix the issue with tags ‘br’ and ‘p’ by editing the wordpress file “kses.php” and adding ‘br’ and ‘p’ to globally supported tags.

There is still an issue with emoticons from tinymce not working… Any idea on how I can fix this one?

[fiero_alleaten]

Hi, I’m having some issues with /forums/ page. It seems not formatted, and I don’t know how to modify it: http://taccuinodigaleazzo.altervista.org/forums/:
All other subforums seem to work properly (example: http://taccuinodigaleazzo.altervista.org/forums/forum/prova-2/)

Is there any way to fix this? I’m using wordpress 3.4.2 and bbpress 2.2.2

[Jared Atchison]

Hmm, if the tags are being stripped, there is a chance a plugin is doing that.

bbPress by default uses the WordPress wpautop on all content which automagically handles the paragraph tags. There isn’t anything in core that should strip tags unless those tags aren’t allowed in normal posts. What tags are being stripped? It sounds like even the base paragraph tags are being stripped, which shouldn’t be the case unless you ahve wpautop disabled via a plugin.

[jspranza]

Wordpress 3.4.2
bbPress 2.2.2

I have a serious problem I haven\’t been able to find help for. When I post a topic or reply it doesn\’t show right away. I then check from another computer and it WILL show, but if I reply from that computer I don\’t see my reply. Sometimes I may or may not see the reply on Computer 1. No matter how many times I reload the page it doesn\’t show until I empty browser caches, login out and back in and then sometimes the new topic will appear but not the replies, or some replies but not others. Checking the dashboard I can see the items are all created, just not showing in the forum.

To recap, my topics or replies for bbPress don\’t show up when I or other forum users make them and I can\’t figure out why. Please please help.

[remike]

I would love to keep all my website content in my native language.

I use a plugin “Simple Local Avatars” to allow my forum users to upload their avatars. I have translated the plugin myself and the translation works perfectly in ‘my profile’ section in WordPress’ dashboard.

However, on bbpress’ profile page the avatar upload section is still in English. Why doesn’t BBPress see the translation and how to make the BBPress see it?

[royho]

Can you be more specific? What do you mean a “link” to the admin area? To administer bbPress, you simply login like you do in WordPress.

Or do you mean in the backend WordPress, you do not see “forums”, “topics”…etc?

[Zookey90]

Hi, I installed bbPress on my WordPress site, but when I add forums, and try to open one of them, I get blank page?

How I can fix that?

[TheDutchGamers]

Thx for getting back on this. To clarify, the results DO NOT show up in the standard WordPress search, only if I add the bbPress results to is by using a bbPress search plugin.

These use the provided results from bbpress, and I understand now that this is an database with all data in it, not specified by private and open. So for me now it is a question of making each comment for group read access or giving no option to search in forum until you have embedded an official search in bbPress?

[boto10]

Many thanks. I just copies the whole thing and paste it then wallah. Getting to like WordPress even more.
Thanks.

[Stephen Edgar]

@livninctry I see you are using some kind of custom registration form to register users on both sites, is this causing any roles or modifying user permissions?

For your ‘dev’ environment I would install WordPress and then bbPress and NOT installing the suffusion theme or the suffusion bbPress pack and see if everything works before adding anything else.

Kind of the same for your main site, disable ALL plugins except bbPress and check to make sure everything works, then try with the suffusion theme, check everything again, then the suffusion bbPress pack, check everything again, then each of your other plugins one by one checking everything each and everytime.

I also see that the Suffusion bbPress pack v1.01 has not been updated in a while “Last Updated: 2012-7-25” or has it been updated since reported problems 2 months ago https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-suffusion-bbpress-pack-compatibility-issues-with-latest-bbpress-212

[Phill]

I’m having an issue I can’t seem to figure out. I’ve had bbpress forums on another one of my sites for awhile so when I decided to create a new site that was the first thing I installed – unfortunately I’m still stuck at this point. It’s a fresh wordpress 3.4.3 install with bbpress 2.2.2. For some reason the forums just don’t want to show up on my page (http://indiegamehut.com/forums). The theme was designed for Buddypress and BBpress.

I also commented out lines 657 and 658 in the theme-compat.php file with no luck. Any suggestions?
