Hi,
I’m making the big jump to bring my community from SMF to bbPress and everything was going well until I had to create the Groups.

First things first:
– WP version: 3.5.2
– bbPress version: 2.3.2
– site: http://japanzai.com/blog/

So, for a couple days already I was looking on google trying to find what plugin was in charge of groups in bbPress and ended up finding this tutorial: http://labzip.com/the-definitive-guide-to-buddypress-bbpress-configuration/
That’s when, to my surprise, I found out that the Group page was in fact not empty!

About the installation, I followed every steps from the video (whom I, in fact, already did previously by myself when installing bbPress the first time) but still no way to get the Groups page.

Any idea as to where I could’ve messed up? or maybe simply forgot something?
Thanks a lot.

Hi. I’ve recently installed the bbpress plugin on my WordPress site along with BuddyPress. I’ve managed to setup groups and forums as well as topics, but when you click on a topic (as a normal web user) you are directed to a blank white page with <br> in the browser’s tab. Anyone have any ideas about what the error is and how to resolve it? Any help is much appreciated!

I’m using the newest bbpress, but this problem exists in all version:
both back-end and front-end, while trashing a reply work out a correct hidden count, deleting a reply makes no change on the hidden count. Is this a bug or just me?

Hello BB’s

I am an beginner when it comes to wordpress/bbpress and have been playing around with it for a little while now.

I am trying to create separate forums on my homepage, seperated by a unique forum/parent/category title like in this image.

Does anyone know how/if this is possible.

I am trying (like a lot of you) to make bbpress a bit more like VBulletin and IPBoard, and this is/would be a major layout improvement.

Thanks in advance

P.H.

I’m also having the same problem..

Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/group.php on line 461.

I am extremely frustrated with a recent install of bbPress and BuddyPress.

My understanding is that, when you create a forums page with the same name as the bbPress forum slug, this page will show the list of forums.

Mine did not. I finally used a short code on a new page and it gave me a list of forums – though the formatting leaves a lot to be desired.

Unfortunately, every time you click a forum link on the page, it takes you to the listing of forums. You can never access the individual forums to post questions or comments.

Thoughts on how to fix this?

There must be a way to do this. I am in includes/common/template-tags.php

I see:

/** URLs **********************************************************************/

/**
 * Ouput the forum URL
 *
 * @since bbPress (r3979)
 *
 * @uses bbp_get_forums_url() To get the forums URL
 * @param string $path Additional path with leading slash
 */
function bbp_forums_url( $path = '/' ) {
	echo bbp_get_forums_url( $path );
}
	/**
	 * Return the forum URL
	 *
	 * @since bbPress (r3979)
	 *
	 * @uses home_url() To get the home URL
	 * @uses bbp_get_root_slug() To get the forum root location
	 * @param string $path Additional path with leading slash
	 */
	function bbp_get_forums_url( $path = '/' ) {
		return home_url( bbp_get_root_slug() . $path );
	}

/**
 * Ouput the forum URL
 *
 * @since bbPress (r3979)
 *
 * @uses bbp_get_topics_url() To get the topics URL
 * @param string $path Additional path with leading slash
 */
function bbp_topics_url( $path = '/' ) {
	echo bbp_get_topics_url( $path );
}
	/**
	 * Return the forum URL
	 *
	 * @since bbPress (r3979)
	 *
	 * @uses home_url() To get the home URL
	 * @uses bbp_get_topic_archive_slug() To get the topics archive location
	 * @param string $path Additional path with leading slash
	 * @return The URL to the topics archive
	 */
	function bbp_get_topics_url( $path = '/' ) {
		return home_url( bbp_get_topic_archive_slug() . $path );
	}

I figure there MUST be a way to add the forum to the topics URL. I’m doing this because I have a action based upon the URL string and need to have all things on that forum associated with that at a URL level. I’m more of the design end than the development end of things and though I see it there I cannot seem to bridge the gap.

I was also reading: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2258 – has there been any progress here?

Customizing this has taken much longer than expected & I’d like to resolve this. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
TY

I don’t think this issue is related to bbpress, this seems to be a buddpress problem

[janhoos]

Hey guys!

Just installed bbPress since a week. Loving it so far 🙂 I was wondering, if there was a way where I can let people subscripe to topics, but not have it on by default? Some of the users have complained that they dont want to recieve all that e-email for topics that arent that important.

[prikid]

just noticed: when creating new group and 3rd setup where need to create a group again error appears “Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /home/stigafnx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/group.php on line 461”

[prikid]

Thanks a lot for your reply John! Nothing really unique, only it’s translated t Russian and have he activity plus plugin.

I’m not familiar with PHP, but i have a feeling this problem is coming from 1.8 Buddypress. I will today install fresh copy of WP, BBpress and buddypress and see if the problem appears. also want to try the previous version of buddypress.

I’ll let you know asap.

Thanks!

Thank you

I think the best place to ask would be in the support section for that specific plugin. And if you can’t seem to get it working with/without support, possibly try Yoast’s SEO plugin — I honestly believe it’s the best one around for WordPress.

[pssawhney]

I updated to the latest version of WordPress SEO and when I open my forums none of my threads populate and when I open a topic the most recent thread shows up but no user info or replies populate. I would like to continue using WordPress SEO as a lot of work has been done on it and afraid I will have to change to Ultimate SEO.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am currently using wordpress 3.4.2 and bbpress 2.02

[yanseo]

Add the following code to your functions.php

function forum_icons() {
	if ( 'forum' == get_post_type() ) {
		global $post;
	    if ( has_post_thumbnail($post->ID) )
	    	echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID,'thumbnail',array('class' => 'alignleft'));
	 }
}
add_action('bbp_theme_before_forum_title','forum_icons');

Hope it helps 😉

Good day!

I’m unable to create group forum from the buddypress group admin page. Below it says “Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /home/stigafnx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/group.php on line 308”

I have disabled buddypress own forum, and also choosen Group Forums Parent.

Can you please advice?

Thank you

I am using the latest versions of wordpress and bbpress. After I installed my bbpress, created categories and forum and created a link to the index it won’t move up or down. I click on the link and it takes my to a page that doesn’t have a bbpress sidebar but it has a wordpress sidebar. I can’t move up or down in my forum. I read somewhere that my theme may not be compatible with bbpress WP Tweaks. Also, not all of my forum is showing. Where it say freshness is being squeezed to the left of my screen. How can I get all of my forum to show up on one page,how can I get my forum to move up and down and is there a way to have my forum show up in a separate window or page. In otherwords, I don’t want my wordpress sidebar to show up on my bbpress forum page.

[ethanandrew]

That is the default configuration of bbpress, you cannot omit the /topic/ as it will always coming back and besides that points to a discussion or specific topic of the page. According to my friend from seo gold coast Australia, it is part of the systematic method for bbpress to have that one.

Have the same problem,I was attracted by the title!

BBpress has reduced the text editor to a minimal one that is really sub-par, in my opinion. I would really like to use something like a TinyMCE version that works for all of the users. There is this one, set up for bbpress, but only authors and above see it: http://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

We are an arts org and we need to have good ways to share visual content. I loaded GD BBPress Attachments which is fine for uploading images and docs, but you can’t insert them into the text: http://www.dev4press.com/plugin/gd-bbpress-attachments/

I found this one: http://premiumsoftware.net/CLEditor/Index, but it’s not as nice as the TinyMCE ones that I’ve used and it shows the bbpress one (the minimal one) right above it, so that is confusing, too. Do you have any recommendations of what would work well for us?

Site: http://www.tafaforum.com/
We’re using the latest updates of bbPress, etc.

I’m pretty savvy (even though I don’t write code) and I don’t even know what “ol” means, much less the other artists who are using our forum…

[Rachel Biel]

I have a problem and I don’t know if it is related to BuddyPress or BBPress and it’s made it very confusing for our users. The same thread shows up in the three pages: Activity Streams, Group Home Page and Group Forum Page. I have deactivated the sitewide Forums as I think it is confusing enough without it. So, we are focusing on having Group topics and discussing within them. But, because the thread shows up in all three places and can be replied to in any of them, one would think that the replies would follow through on all of the pages where the thread is displayed.

I think that this might have something to do with nested replies. They show up on the Activity Streams (if one replies on that page) and on the Group Home page, but they don’t follow through on the forum. You can see it here: http://www.tafaforum.com/user-groups/blogging-general/ Members are supposed to register their blogs on the Topic page of the forum: http://www.tafaforum.com/user-groups/blogging-general/forum/topic/register-your-blog-here/ Most did not understand that they should go to their page and just added their blogs to the Home page of that group. I replied with “Added” for the ones that I added to the RSS Feed (http://www.tafaforum.com/tafamemberblogs/) But, my “Added” reply does not show up on the Forum Topic version of the same thread.

Any suggestions on how to deal with this? It makes things very confusing.

I don’t want to mess with code so if you have suggestions, please make them for what can be done within the BBPress or BuddyPress options….

[designerdougm]

I’ve been digging around in the code and it seem like it’s impossible to make a user type that can view a forum but not post in it. Am I missing something?

It seems like a user’s ability to post/reply is global. Is there any way to quickly accomplish this?

My goal:

A user type that can view public and private forums, but only post in public.

I was originally attempting to add a new forum type, but quickly realized it was out of scope for the timeframe I’m looking to accomplish this in. That said, regardless of whether or not I add a new forum type, or repurpose existing types, I’m at a brick wall if there’s no way to check posting privileges in an individual forum. Has anyone tackled this issue already? I love the simplicity of bbPress and really want to avoid having to use a more fleshed out forum package, but this is a very necessary feature.
