I can create new topics on my development site, but if I click on the link to view the topic it takes me to a 404 page. This happens on the front end (http://dev.corporette.com/boards/) and the back end (if I go to the wpadmin dashboard, click Topics, and then click “view” from the menu for whichever topic.

(Once I create a new topic it also automatically takes me to a 404 page, even though the topic has been successfully created.)

Any idea what’s wrong? Thank you in advance. I’m running WordPress/Genesis/Prose, the bbPress that’s in beta (2.1?) and Buddypress as well. Thank you!

Hi, I am new to both WordPress and BBpress.

I am trying to figure out how to change the page name from “Sample Page” on the forum breadcrumbs(I think that’s what it’s called). I also need to figure out how to stop the forum index page from being named after my MMA/Boxing/Wrestling forum…

I hope you understand what I mean because I really don’t know the proper terms…

If you go to http://www.sportsdebates.net/forums/ you will see what I mean. In your browser tab you will see MMA/Boxing/Wrestling rather than SportsDebates.Net and where it says “Sample Page › Forums” it should say “SportsDebates.Net > Forums”…

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi! I have bbPress as a plugin on WordPress and BuddyPress powered website. On my WordPress I have users set up as Editors, Authors, and Contributors.

For the forum, I’d like editors and authors to also have forum moderation abilities in addition to their preexisting WordPress capabilities. I don’t want them to *just* be moderators.

Is this possible? I looked at the roles documentation, but I can’t figure it out.

Thanks!

I’ve noticed that the phrase “Topic Description:” is not present in the list at http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/nl/default

It is properly localised in the template files (line 82 in form-topic.php) so that’s not the issue.

[trueuser]

ok, now im sick of this.. i have tried like 6h to find a plugin or solution of my problem..

i just want wordpress posts show up as topic in bbpress.

i tried

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/

but i get stuck in:

URL is incorrect or connection error, please verify it (full variant): my-plugins/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/bbwp-sync.php

and get

(Not allowed: [WordPress part] Cannot establish connection to bbPress part)

even if i put in the full path to bbwp-sync.php and place the files correctly

…

i even tried

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbsync/

but it tells me to find bb-load.php but i cant find it, i even extract the installation zip file and searched for it there but no go..

—

i tried

http://www.generalthreat.com/projects/bbpress-post-topics/

but i cant find the box, so i cant setup how it gonna work.

so.. is there any plugin that allows me to create topic in bbpress automatic from wordpress post OR RSS..?

thanks for reply.

[richardpd]

Nice-thanks for sharing.

For myself I have had major issues trying to run BuddyPress/bbPress on my blog and yet still I want to try bbPress forum plugin on another WordPress site of mine. Viewing yours is a help-I may have to look at your css styling & I certainly will want to look at what plugins will help run bbPress forum.

Thanks & best wishes (enjoy your minecrafting!!it’ll never beat chess lol!)

I found that, even though registration is allowed in my WordPress installation plus bbPress, that registration is hidden until a user enters some bogus information into the login widget and clicks login. They then get the error page and a chance to register.

Same seems to be true for password change possibility. It’s nowhere to be found. Or do I need a plugin for those things indeed?

Here are the details:

website.com is setup for multisite with just one add-on site website.com/kittens.

Now when test registering a user for website.com everything works as normal. User is registered, receives activation email and can login.

However, after logging in the user and attempting to post a bbPress topic the following message is received:

“You cannot create new topics at this time.”

My initial thought was “Okay, 3.4, probably some hiccups to still be worked out with all these variables and all the plugin authors making the mad dash to fix unforeseeable issues that arise.”

However, after further investigation I realized what the issue was that the test user failed to be registered as website.com’s user and instead as some sort of pseudo network user hence not having the right privileges.

Thanks, Bryan

When I upgraded to the newest version of bbpress, I was getting the error:

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Looks like it may have been a memory issue. I bumped up my wp memory in wp-config.php and all is good.

Your mileage may vary…

[Jeff Sebring]

If you are using persistent cacheing, you may need to use wp_cache_flush() to allow the upgrade variable to be set.

I kept being sent to the upgrade database page from the admin after updating on a heavily cached site.

I hope this helps someone.

I’ve got a reasonably complex set of plugins myself.

I’ve upgraded to WP 3.4 and bbPress 2.03 with minimal issues.

I’d suggest that you’ve either got a plugin conflict and/or a theme that isn’t 3.4 compatible.

Your first port of call is to revert to the bog standard WP theme for testing and then if that doesn’t resolve things, start by disabling plugins.

And then report back here

[John James Jacoby]

Look harder. Plenty of examples in the forums here and the codex.

What your site looks like is not the intention. Your theme is not compatible with bbPress, since it’s doing something o override the WordPress template loader.

[John James Jacoby]

Not experiencing any of these issues on several installations. Can you please try your updates again? If you have anymore feedback other than ‘it broke’ would also be great.

[DarwinsDream]

WOW scary results here. I have a stable thing with WP 3.3 and bbPress 2.0.2 im down right frightened to uprade either of these. I’m not touching a thing right now and I recommend that to everyone.

[Todd – WireFlare]

I would suggest creating a backup of your database before performing this. Once you have a backup create a PHP file and paste the below code in it:

<?php

require_once('wp-load.php');

$posts = get_posts(‘post_type=revision&post_status=any&numberposts=-1’);

foreach($posts as $post)

{

echo “{$post->post_title}n”;

wp_delete_post($post->ID,true);

}

?>

Place the file in your WordPress root folder and load the file in your web browser by typing {domain}/{filename}.php

It should output a list of revisions that were removed.

Have you had a look at the Settings > Forums section inside wordpress.

This should help.

[smackmathew]

I have this same problem. http://bookmoxy.com/forums

If I try to access my forums in my buddypress profile it comes up with a blank page.

It’s a brand new network install running WordPress 3.4 BuddyPress 1.5.6 bbPress 2.0.3

I installed the plugin, and made a forum to test it out. It says it was created and shows the link I should see it at, but when I click ‘View Forum’ wordpress gives a 404 error and the page isn’t found. Same when I manually type it in.

What could it be? I’m sure it’s an easy fix, but I cannot for the life of me figure this out.

Thanks for the help!

If anyone has any other 3.4 issues feel free to post in https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-203-and-wordpress-34

[Jared Atchison]

Just a note, should be fixed now https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1849

[Jared Atchison]

Yeah that really doesn’t make sense to me.

Which theme is your _active_ WordPress theme?
