I tweaked the widget code for what will be 2.1.2. If you can report back if it fixes your issues would be great.

Dear all, thanks a lot for all your effort and great piece of work!

I am stuck in trouble… I am still trying hard to create my own custom template and I am observing strange bbpress behaviour. In order to customize my bbpress template I have copied all “extras” files from bbpress plugin to my custom template. When edited, the public outcome is as expected… I am able to modify the copied “extras” files and all the changes are visible. So everything seems to be OK.

BUT… The “page-front-forums.php” index file is ignored by my wordpress site. When edited, no changes are visible on the front end. I have tried to call the index file page-front-forums.php using shortcode. It is working fine, all changes in page-front-forums.php working as expected. Strange, isnt is?:-) Why?

All other “extras” files/pages seem to be sent to front end visible with customizations and working as expected.

Thanks for your advice!

Awesome! It’d be great to have a push on getting a complete bbPress Codex.

Some general thoughts:

1. Planning the architecture is really important. I get brought on board with a lot of doc projects at a late stage. When no planning has gone into it the docs end up getting unwieldy and difficult to navigate. People just randomly add docs until there is a mountain of information and no user-friendly way of navigating through it. If there is a sound structure from the start it makes sure the complete documentation holds together as it grows.

2. We should create some sort of task list of doc we would like to see and things to work on. We could use a P2 or a wordpress.com blog, or we could try using bbPress itself for management. If we had a bbPress docs forum then we could add doc suggestions as topics. When a person decides to do it, it becomes a sticky (so that no one else works on it). We could tag posts as idea, in progress, and complete – people would be able to discuss individual posts in the threads. It might be fun to try using bbPress in this way.

Okay – those are just some ideas. Feel free to disregard – just thought it would be good to get a discussion going.

There are shortcodes for sign-up, login, and lost-password forms. Since there’s no UI for shortcodes in WordPress, you’ll need to check the bbPress codex to find them.

[John James Jacoby]

You’ll want to research ‘WordPress multisite” and bbPress will take care of the rest. Most of the issues you’ll run into aren’t up to the software, but rather the user’s experience of visiting two forums, and how you choose to handle that strict divide.

This has now been fixed and will be in the next update v2.12

As a workaround you can download the updated phpBB.php file here.

Seeing as you wiped bbPress and tried the import from phpBB again, if you do the same again with this update users no longer need to reset their password 😉

Hi

I have a wordpress based site with buddypress and BBpress. I use S2member for user management.

I have been unable to find a way to make a user a forum moderator.

Any help please?

Registration and login are build in. It’s using the WordPress functions for that.

Hello,
I’m using bbPress plugin with WordPress. But the problem is whenever I post a new topic or reply on forum, it shows up on recent post widget on my blog sidebar. I would like to know if there’s a way to stop this.

Thanks!

Sounds like cookies or caching, both of which are up to you to tune and troubleshoot, since bbPress’s stock settings play nicely with WordPress core in those regards.

[John James Jacoby]

You could use a subdirectory multisite installation of WordPress, and then activate bbPress on each site.

Try this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members . By using this plugin you can easily create new and existing users rules. You can see some screenshot here.

> The other issue is that subscribers cannot embedd pictures into posts but editors/administrators can. I have auto-embedd links ticked. It looks like it could be a permissision thing but I wanted to check if there is anything in bbpress that prevents subscribers from doing this?

Confirmed: Admin & Editor can embed images using <img src=hxxp://example.com/test.jpg />

Forum Participant, Forum Moderator, Subscriber, Contributor and Author roles cannot. https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1916

You can only run a single instance of the bbPress plugin per WordPress install.

I think I solved. The reply edit from the “edit panel wordpress” does not lose the relationship with the topic parent if i remove to check on option “Use the fancy WordPress editor to create and edit topics and replies”.

I thought the fancy wordpress editor could be used only to create topics and replies.

Thank you.

Hi I have a couple of queries I hope you can help with..

I would like to add a widget into my sidebar that displays the content of the last few posts created on any of the forums on the site. The wordpress widgets Latest Posts and Latest Comments don’t work and the existing bbpress ones don’t contain the actual posts. I have read various posts on this and I think I may have to write something myself to do this. However I wanted to check first if there is another way of getting this from bbpress other than creating a new widget?

The other issue is that subscribers cannot embedd pictures into posts but editors/administrators can. I have auto-embedd links ticked. It looks like it could be a permissision thing but I wanted to check if there is anything in bbpress that prevents subscribers from doing this? Thanks 🙂

Thanks… Though this should have already been patched 😉

I just tried the above with the newest wordpress and bbpress available. It does not work 🙁

Does anybody have a solution?

Hello,

since the update to bbPress 2.1 I get the following PHP error msg, when I am posting a new message. The message is posted and everything is fine, except for this error to pop up:

http://www.mydomain.de/blog/forums/users/auco/
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by 
(output started at /path/to/my/server/domain/blog/wp-content/plugins/
bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-reply-template.php:1012)
in /path/to/my/server/domain/blog/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 881

I already followed this post from 4 years ago: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/php-error-messages/ and the relevant informations on codex.wordpress.org. I also made sure I’m running the latest stable PHP5 version.
Of course I’m also running the latest WP and have as few plugins as possible.

But I really can’t figure out how to suppress this message.
Any help is appreciated.

Relationship between topic end reply is lost if i edit reply from “wordpress edit reply”.

After running the Repair Forums, son not finds his father.

I have to copy old reply, delete it and put it back from input box bbpress.

Thanks Netweb.

Here is the screen shot. The “NO TOPIC” at the top right I remember that appeared a year ago with the first versions of bbPress plugin. Then the problem disappeared.
When saved, the connection between topics and reply of origin is lost, of course. .

Sure you can edit from the box, but it is easier for an administrator to do so by wordpress edit post function.

[c0cc0bill]

Thanks Netweb, you have been very kind to respond.

In fact it is as you say, if the edit is to form. If, however, i edit by wordpress panel to edit the topic and replies, I lose the connection.

When migrating to 2.1 I have chosen the theme compact. Before I had the theme of twenty.

I confirm that i am missing the function recount :((

Try «Forum Description» (Ref: here & here)

[Stephen Edgar]

@galynsky Can you confirm you are using the ‘import forums’ tool or the ‘export’ tool?

Import: WP-Admin -> Tools -> Forums -> ‘Import Forums’ (/wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-converter)

Export: WP-Admin -> Tools -> Export

[Stephen Edgar]

@markusbb I am running out of ideas.
Try setting a fresh install of WordPress & bbPress on a different hosting provider or a local LAMP install on your PC and for the import use your webhosts remote SQL address to try the import again. As it will be slower using remote SQL connections lower the queries to eg. row limits = 10 and delay time = 5.

What version of bbPress Standalone are you using? If less than 1.1 can you upgrade to 1.1, does that work? If so does 1.1 -> 2.1 now work?
