*** UPDATE ***

I was able to fix it. My problem was I was pasting the URLs in visual mode and wordpress converted it in hyperlinks. Pasting the URL in HTML mode fixes the problem.

Thank you for your help,
Luciano

[lucianoippolito]

Thank you for your responses but I haven´t been able to fix the problem yet.

Unfortunatelly the embeeding is not working even using just the image or video url. It is only showing hyperlinks to the URLs.

As suggested by the codex embeds page I used the [embed]…[/embed] shortcodes with the same results.

By the way, I have wordpress “Auto-embeds” and bbpress “Auto-embed Links” checked

Any other idea on how to fix this problem?

Thank you again,Luciano

For troubleshooting purposes when getting a “page not found” message:

From WP Admin > Forums, choose a public forum and click on View. Does the forum display correctly when accessed via the URL from the WordPress admin area?

From WP Admin > Topics, choose a public topic and click on View. Does the topic display correctly?

Do the same for Private and Hidden.

Are you running any plugins that change URL structures? Have you used any user/role management plugins, such as Members or s2Member?

[Jennifer M. Dodd]

@kraigg: Check out the “View” link under one of your forums in WordPress Admin > Forums. Note that using the “View” link works; the difference between this URL and the one linked from /groups-shortcode/ is that the one that works ends in ‘forum’; the link from /groups-shortcode/ ends in ‘forums’.

In short: forums are there, but not where /groups-shortcode/ expects to find them. It looks like you have some sort of URL forwarding turned on so that when visiting a group, the first tab opened is the forum tab. However, it is should point to /forum/, not /forums/.

Your problem is quite old now and maybe you’ve already solved it. Anyway, I’ve just run into this problem, so I’ll describe it (for anyone who will experience it in the future).

How it behaves for most of the users (when it’s working):
1) Install WordPress (during installation, allow search engines to index your site).
2) Install Buddypress.
3) Intall Site Wide Forums (bbPress).
4) Create 2 users and create new bbPress forum.
5) Try the mention functionality on the forum -> the user will be correctly notified about being mentioned.

I’m almost sure this is the problem you’re describing:
1) Install WordPress (during installation, deny search engines to index your site).
2) Install Buddypress.
3) Intall Site Wide Forums (bbPress).
4) Create 2 users and create new bbPress forum.
5) Try the mention functionality on the forum -> the user will not be notified about being mentioned.

Another connected problem:
1) Install WordPress (during installation, allow search engines to index your site).
2) Change “WordPress address” and “Site Address” (this is not that unusual – especially when you’re moving your site from localhost to some valid place).
3) Install Buddypress.
4) Intall Site Wide Forums (bbPress).
5) Create 2 users and create new bbPress forum.
6) Try no mention one of the users -> the user will see the notification, but when he/she clicks on it, no mention will be displayed in the activity part.

To sum up:
– denying search engines from indexing your site will disable mention notifications from bbPress forums
– changing WordPress and site address after the installation leads to empty mention list in the activity part (however, the notification in the toolbar will be displayed).

bbpress 2.2.
twenty-eleven theme
wp 3.4.2

My forum used to be setup so unregistered users could post but then I got hit with tons of spam and changed it. I thought it would automatically provide me with a user registration/login option, but things cant be that easy, right?

I need help with setting up the option for people to register before posting to my forum. I looked into buddypress, but didn’t think it was a good idea since I’m a newbie.

Info—
Under general settings, I have “anyone can register” checked, with new user role as “subscriber”.
The only forum settings unchecked are: Allow topic and reply revision logging, Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies, and Use the fancy WordPress editor to create and edit topics and replies. The default forum user role is participant.

No one is able to reply or post new topics and there is no option to login. It says, you must be logged in to reply or create new topics.

I am very new to coding and had a web developer friend of mine put together my site for me and teach me the basics. I am now at a point of teaching myself anything new. I’ve read all the wp/bbpress documentation and searched Google for weeks with no luck.

I would appreciate any help if anyone has time. Please be as specific as possible 🙂

I’ve also had to downgrade to 2.1.3 after getting reports from some users that they were seeing the page not found page on all pages under our /forums/

I’ve filed a trac ticket here:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2041

Copy and pasting the text:

After upgrading to 2.2 I got reports from certain users that they were seeing our page not found on all forum pages under the /forums/ URL including the base URL itself.

I logged in and tested it with my admin account and did not see it.

I created a normal user account and also could not repro.

I then signed in as that specific user and got a repro.

I then checked the network activity in Chrome and noticed that the site was sending a 200 HTTP code but serving up the standard 404 page. Which explains why I wasn’t seeing any 404’s in my web server error log.

Note that our forums are accessed via HTTPS so this may help you repro.

I downgraded to 2.1.3 and instantly the issue was fixed.

I haven’t noticed any heuristic with the user account that I managed to repro on. I even checked the cookie string to see if there was something odd about that users cookies, but didn’t notice anything.

Hello netweb

I wrote my request on bbpress.track (see #2040)
I saw your reply on my forum and I answered.

bbPress does not currently support subscribing by email for anonymous users and as you point out there are no plugins (as at the time this posted) to perform this task either.

You have a couple of options: Write a plugin yourself, get someone else to write the plugin for you or submit a ‘feature request’ at https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ explaining in detail the feature you want to see in future versions of bbPress.

I tried installing bbPress 2.2 today because I’ve used it on another site and love it. But, the 3 custom post types didn’t show up in the navigation menu in the Admin panel at all (and entering the URL for them doesn’t work either). The bbPress “Forums” menu items do show up in Settings and Tools though. Strange.

I activated and deactivated all of my plugins and traced it to a conflict between WPMU Appointments+ and bbPress. As soon as I activate Appointments, the bbPress post types vanish. Does anyone have experience with fixing this? I need the Appointments feature on my site and really wish that I could use bbPress instead of some other forum plugin.

WordPress version 3.4.2
bbPress version 2.2

wordpress & bbpress definitely need better role/capability/permissions management, some 3rd party plugins can fill the gap for now, and i imagine the new system will be a step in the right direction, but we need some details on the new system  🙂

sam

[Sam Rohn]

plugins like user role editor allow granular customization of user roles & capabilities, an important feature for cms/forum systems which wordpress/bbpress is otherwise lacking, google “granular permissions” for more info

so you would use it to inspect the permissions for your s2 or other roles and it should be a matter of just checking the boxes of the capabilities you want your roles to have, unless something has changed in bbp 2.2 ?

if you are careful it will not change (unless you tell it to) or break anything in my experience, but any changes made to role permissions are made to the db so proceed somewhat cautiously, and it is always possible to change things back if you kept screen shots of original role settings in plugin window –

but i’m still not sure exactly what the new role system is about at all, are there any reference links on this ?

sam

[Stephen Edgar]

You are using the ‘OneAll Social Login’ plugin to register users rather than the bbPress (WordPress) process and I would suspect that any errors related to incorrect username/password issues would be related to how this plugin is registering users with WordPress rather than this being a bbPress issue.

Try asking your question in the plugin support at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/oa-social-login and that may also sort out why users are not receiving the activation email also.

[Jennifer M. Dodd]

Embed Media means you don’t have to copy all of that HTML to post an image. It should be enough to just paste the link the the relevant image or video. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds.

My original setup was based on WordPress 3.4.2 and BuddyPress 1.6.1
I added a BP Group Forum which we realized will not be sufficient and if anything just confusing to members. So I completely deleted the Forums page and added a new page called Group Discussions. I then went to BP settings and pointed forums option to use this page. No problem there.

Next, I installed bbPress 2.2 / activated / added couple of test forums / check the slug making sure that it worked by going to: http://ch.lifewithababy.com/forums and it did.
Next step was to add a new Forums page which I did. Right after http://ch.lifewithababy.com/forums became blank??? Why???

I then deleted the Forums page and http://ch.lifewithababy.com/forums worked again… hmmm…
At this point I am confused…

So I ended up adding the page and then adding a shortcode to show the forum and it works, kind of.
It works for public but if I login as a member (one of my test buddypress members) the page no longer available??? As a logged in member I get “We’re sorry, but we can’t find the page that you’re looking for. Perhaps searching will help.” which makes no sense at all.

Could someone please help? I have no idea what is causing this mysterious behaviour and how to resolve it.

Thanks.

It’s not the permalink that’s broken, it’s the rewrite rule attached to it. If the rules were correct, WordPress would be serving the page correctly.

[John James Jacoby]

@xurxog – To the best of my knowledge, neither of those plugins includes a cleaner script to revert user capabilities back to normal, so you’re going to need to dream up a solution.

The reason this is a problem now, and not before, is bbPress has moved entirely to a dynamic roles system, even ahead of WordPress core (which in the future will move to something like what bbPress has now.)

Hello, I am using the Tisa wp theme from Themify and although I had no trouble installing and adding forums, this theme seems to mandate that the individual forum widgets appear in the sidebar. As it is the sidebar is overloaded and I would much prefer to put it within a page on my website. Is there code I can embed on the page(s) somewhere? How can I do this?

Thanks,
Jackie

I am using WordPress 3.4.2 and I would like to display the latest questions (last 5 or 10 Qs) in my static homepage. There is a way to add some code to my template and display bbpress questions?

Thanks,

[sambedingfield]

Just updated to 2.2 and had a run around to make sure everything is still compatible with my theme, and all is perfect apart from the pagination on each users profile.

The permalink to numbered pages is /users/admin/page/2/ and returns a 404, when on this forum the permalink looks like /users/admin/topics/page/2/

I’m guessing that updating bbPress is not the cause, as my site is too new to know if it was previously working – but I’m very grateful if you can help put me in the right direction for a fix!

Thanks.

– using latest bbPress & WordPress, toolbox theme + child bbPress Twenty Ten 1.1 overide

[John James Jacoby]

Now that bbPress 2.2 is out, please be sure to log any bugs you find that are specific to bbPress 2.2 on our bug tracker, setting the version to 2.2.

We’ll be keeping our eyes open for anything that requires quick fixing, while starting to plan out the dev cycle for bbPress 2.3.

Thanks y’all!

[John James Jacoby]

Fixed now. You can safely remove the last line of the file of bbpress.php manually if you’d like; the part that says:

exists check

That last line somehow got duplicated on Subversion export. The official logs here do not have that bit in it, just on WordPress.org. Sorry for the inconvenience y’all.

There is a moderation plugin called bbPressModeration (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpressmoderation/).

It allows administrators to manually approve each post before it gets published to the website. But it doesn’t send an email notification to the poster.

[John James Jacoby]

I added a filter called ‘bbp_verify_nonce_request_url’ in to bbPress 2.2 address this.

@hypnoscribe – Please don’t post big code dumps; it’s not easy to read and easily accessible by linking to your site, a pastebin, or any other place.

@netweb – If you’re going to answer questions, make sure they’re the correct answers. 🙂

Looking just a bit deeper in Inspector, you’ll notice the CSS isn’t part of WordPress or bbPress. Like @nguyenkinh said, this is a problem with the CSS in your theme.
