If you could give us a link to your site we can have a look.

Can you create a ticket with replication steps and the expected behavior https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket

[Stephen Edgar]

Any fixes for known issue have all been released with bbPress 2.1.2

Why arnt you running the latest versions WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress?

[Stephen Edgar]

Will this do what you want it to?

[Stephen Edgar]

The behavior you are seeing is by design what the ‘bbPress Moderation’ plugin

From https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpressmoderation/

> “To help reduce spam in bbPress forums, this plugin will change the
> status of new topics and replies to ‘pending’. Any pending
> topics/replies will be shown as ‘Awaiting Moderation’ until the
> administrator approves publishes them.”

Or did you install this plugin to try and resolve the issue but with the plugin disabled you are still seeing this behavior?

What happens when you disable all other plugins on your WordPress install?

[Stephen Edgar]

Another user is also having problems with ‘CheerApp’ and are waiting for the developer to update the theme. You see those issues here:

Can't view or post to forums after 2.1 update

The specific issue you are having is listed by someone else in the comments section (and a workaround) here:

http://themeforest.net/item/cheerapp-app-wordpress-bbpress-theme/discussion/2007363?page=7

I would suggest you contact the author of theme also to see when an update will be available as no doubt that would be the best route to take.

[Stephen Edgar]

I’m not quite following you… What are you using to do this in WordPress and how do you want to do this in bbPress? Posting some links to screenshots would help a great a deal.

WordPress Version 3.4.1

bbPress Plugin Version 2.1.2

Theme is a customized version of PHP-Ease, which uses Blueprint for layout.

See: http://www.php-ease.com/wordpress/themes/framework.html

The forums page (linked to above) looks fine, but if you click through to those forums or to individual posts, you’ll see that the header changes. Also, the right sidebar is all degraded. The forums themselves take up the whole width of the browser window. The sidebar stuff appears below.

I’ve played with float attributes some, but all those do is alter the width of the table containing the forum materials. The sidebar stuff remains below.

This was not a problem until bbPress 2.1 appeared.

I have a feeling I need to merge style sheets or tell bbPress to use my own stylesheet, but I’m at a loss as to how to do these things. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

By the way: overall, great product. I’m a fan.

Thanks,

Marty Priola

I have a website at http://rockwareit.net. I am using CheerApp, which was built to utilize the bbpress forum structure. Everything was fine, until I updated to bbpress, v 2.0, I think – not exactly sure, but it was the update before this last one. Now, with the new version activated, I get a fatal error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function royal_login() in /home/content/31/8787131/html/wp-content/themes/cheerapp/header.php on line 69

I have attempted to remove/edit problematic code on line 69, to no avail.

I also can not seem to find a proper older version of bbpress, all the links to older versions are broken….can someone please help either with a fix to the issue, or an older version of bbpress?

Thanks!

Nicole

Thanks,
but i already try this, and dont allow me insert image in post with text like when create a post in wordpress.
I need somethink in editor load image but no from link but from PC.

To force bbPress use your template you should name them properly, check bbPress compatible Twenty Ten included in plugin, e.g. archive-forum.php is responsible for forum list/archive.

The download link is for the 2.1 branch. If you follow the link it will take you to the plugin page where you can download 2.1.2. You can also install it directly through WordPress I find much easier.

Hello.

My forum was fine translated to Danish before updating to the latest version of bbPress, 2.1.2. But now I cannot seem to figure out how to do the translation? Do I have to put the .po file elsewhere?

What is exactly the procedure for uploading and changing the language of bbPress? Different topics say different things.

Found the .po file here: http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/da/default

I linked my forum http://oddcopter.com/forums/

to my blog http://oddcopter.com/

using the Topics for Posts plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/

Now, all my comments end up as replies in a forum topic associated with the blog post they were made in and vice versa. Nice way to get a forum started. Nobody likes to party in an empty room. I had to delete a lot of freshness and voices data because it didn’t look right after my conversion.

Anyway, thanks to for all your hard work John and Company!

A few things. First, this won’t work in bbPress 2. It’s already done for you, and the function names are different. Also, it’s a bad idea to trust any global value to be output directly to the screen, as any plugin can manipulate them directly. You’ll want to wrap that output in an esc_url() call. Lastly, this post is almost 4 years old; bumping it with a simple ‘thanks’ type reeks of being spam.

Closing this so it doesn’t get bumped again, and anyone that finds this should take heed using that code in bbPress or WordPress going forward, as there are more elegant solutions.

Hello Mr bbpress, are you working at it?

[oliver_s]

When people subscribe to a thread, they won’t get any emails when a new reply is posted. All other wordpress email functions work fine though. The ” Notify me of follow-up replies via email” setting is persistent on however.

Any idea how to debug/fix that?

[Stephen Edgar]

Which widget? bbPress, WordPress, a theme widget or a custom widget?

I don’t see any recent forums posts showing on any of your widgets on the site at the moment.

[erobertwald]

Answering my follow-up question: I was able to override the bbpress.css styles by adding a css folder to my theme and copying the bbpress.css file into that for editing.

[5ngua]

Suppose now we allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies (anonymous posting)

Suppose that my forum has a member “John” registered with email address: john@site.com

Now if an Anonymous fill john@site.com as the email address when posting, the post will show up with the post Author as John (but in fact it is not John)

I find this is a bug not only in bbPress but also in WordPress comment.

Hope that will be resolved in the next release.

[Stephen Edgar]

Sorry, but all three of your the links you referenced are referring to the old stand alone version of bbPress, we are trying to get all the docs updated but as some still use the 1.x versions we still need them though I know it becomes rather confusing if you hit a link relating to that old version.

bbPress 2.1 has built-in theme support, if you want customize bbPress to closer look like your WordPress theme please see https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/ to get started.

[Stephen Edgar]

That plugin is for the old stand alone bbPress v1.x, you should look at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ to find if a plugin exists to use with ‘bbPress Plugin v2.x’

[Stephen Edgar]

This is a known issue for phpBB & Invision forums and the way it looks at the BBCode as its being imported, we are hoping to get this fixed for bbPress 2.2.

You can see more details on the problems here https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1884

[shilpi18th]

Hello Rashid,

Thanks a lot.
I need a functionality same as comment in wordpress.
In wordpress when we comment on any post, an email goes to admin for approval of the comment. if admin approves then only the comment ll show on site otherwise no person can see that comment.

i have to apply same functionality for topics.
when a registered user ll add a topic from frontend of website then an email ll go to admin, if admin approves the topic then only topic ll show on website.

[christineccr]

Okay,stupid question, but I don’t want to risk making a major mistake. Do I use BBpress as a plugin on an existing site (acts like a category or page), or do I need a separate WordPress site?
