Hi, Trifon,

I also have trouble installing bbpress in my WordPress.

I do follow the instructions on https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/

1. I go to the Add plugin section.
2. I find bbpress.
3. I install it.
4. I activate it (Here, when clicling the Activate button for the first time, the system says “You do not have the priviliges …”,, so I click the Activate button again and then it works. So I do manage to install bbpress. It is visible in the list of my plugins. Everything seems OK.)
5. But the problem is that bbpress does not appear in Settings sections (menu of wordpress on the left). So I do not know how ta access it, work with it.

I would be greatfull for some further instructions.

I suggest that you read up on the basics of bbPress in the documentation. A good place to start out for you would probably be here:
https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/

Also, for showing the forums on a page, you could create a page and use the shortcodes to show the index and such. You’ll find the shortcodes here:

I have installed Qtranslate plugin everything is set up and working fine with bbPress except one thing the Link Url is not translating automatically.

I can manually fix this problem by enclosing in Qtranslate function (qtrans_convertURL) on each link url but this is not efficient solution

Can anyone help me to give optimized or solution better than above

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I’m trying to give full admin capabilties for BBPress to a user with the Editor role, but it’s driving me nuts.

I’ve assigned them the Keymaster Role, but they still only have Forums in the Dashboard, no sign of Topics or Replies.

How can I let a user with the role ‘Editor’ access these Dashboard items?

I did a bunch of searching and 2.2 supposedly fixed this issue with the ability to allow you to assign a Forum role to people, but as you can see, that’s not working.

None of the other solutions I found worked either.

Any advice?

Cheers,
Jacob

I am using thesis version 2 and tried to open a forum for my site using bbpress. Everything seems to be working fine except the user profile page. Whenever I click on username to go the user profile page, the homepage shows up. All I can see is the homepage. Can anyone please tell me how can I show my user profile page on thesis version 2? Am I missing something?

From what I can see, Enfold is just another WordPress theme that has edited some bbPress CSS and files. If that’s the case, then everything will be fine — you’d still be using your WordPress install with the bbPress plugin, so your tables wouldn’t go anywhere.

Hello,

I may be changing my theme from Flex to Enfold because no one is supporting Flex anymore. I am worried if I do decide to do this can I take my forum members with me if they sign up in my bbpress forum. You see the Enfold theme has it’s own forum…

what do you suggest

also where are your installation video..? If you have them 🙂

thank you !

I use

WordPress plugin: bbPress WP Tweaks

to have a separate forum sidebar – works really well.

@Rasheed you are great man, its working 🙂

i was following the below links and i was just stuck ( it was not working)

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/
http://www.anttivaihia.com/blog/2012/06/how-change-language-bbpress-20

I think they should update the above contents to save others time as your solution works like charm 🙂

Once again thanks you very much

[Rasheed Bydousi]

it is “bbpress-ar.mo”

[Sameer]

is this bbpress-ar.mo or bbpress-ar_AR.mo ??
i am confused now 🙁

[Rasheed Bydousi]

Add the file “bbpress-ar.mo” to the path:
/public_html/wp-content/languages/bbpress/

[Rasheed Bydousi]

You have an “export” link at the bottom of the page:

@Rasheed

Can you please share Arabic Language files for bbPress 2.2.3
I didn’t find it for latest version of bbPress

Thanks in advance

If there is anybody interested, i had the same problem with Origin. To solve, i edited the file breadcrumb-trail.php (bad idea, but i’m not using a child theme but a completely modified version of Origin). So, on line 450, we had before:

/* Get the queried forum ID and its parent forum ID. */
$forum_id = get_queried_object_id();
$forum_parent_id = bbp_get_forum_parent( $forum_id );

And now, working fine (exactly as John said here):

/* Get the queried forum ID and its parent forum ID.  */
$forum_id = get_queried_object_id();
$forum_parent_id = bbp_get_forum_parent_id( $forum_id );

Hope it helps.

Copy the template files to your themes root: https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

Found answer in shortcodes: https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

[Daniel J. Lewis]

I’m also interested in this, especially with allowing my forum members to use some BBcodes, like spoiler, b, i, and others. (I transitioned from a phpBB board, so I want to make a smooth transition for my users.)

I’ve been looking for a plugin to do this, but haven’t found anything. I’m thinking of making a simple plugin to do this by popping up a window (via jQuery) that will take the content of their post editor and display it with my CSS and processing the shortcodes. It sounds easy to me, but I could be really wrong.

The widget called bbpress topics views list has some links broken and I have no idea how to fix it. Some links work others are returning no results when they should be

the links that are working and not working are as follows
Most popular topics – Working – http://dubtopian-review.eu/view/popular/
Topics with no replies – Working – http://dubtopian-review.eu/view/no-replies/
Topics with most replies – Working – http://dubtopian-review.eu/view/most-replies/
Latest topics – Working – http://dubtopian-review.eu/view/latest-topics/
Search Results – Not Working (not sure what this anyway) – http://dubtopian-review.eu/view/search/
New posts since last visit – Not Working – http://dubtopian-review.eu/view/new-posts-last-visits/
New posts: Last day – Not Working – http://dubtopian-review.eu/view/new-posts-last-day/
New posts: Last week – Not Working – http://dubtopian-review.eu/view/new-posts-last-week/
New posts: Last month – Not Working – http://dubtopian-review.eu/view/new-posts-last-month/

As you know these links are integral to communication so having them returning no results when there are plenty of replies on my site is infuriating.

Does anyone know what might be going wrong?

Hello,

Just installed bbpress for the first time. I am unable to find the ‘forums list’ page. Nothing shows up in menus, page templates, or accessing the root url directly (domain.com/forum/).

Do we need to create a custom page and loop through the custom post type ourselves? I assumed this would come out of the box :/

Thanks!

[squid1974]

I would like to know the same…

[irperera]

guys

I’m new to bbpress, my problem may be simple to other, but its twisting my mind.

anyways

once bbpress is installed, you have the links for forum at domain.com/forums, which shows all the categories. i would like the sidebar to be a different one from the default one. how do i go about doing this.

i cannot get the sidebar to change at all.

thanks

Ian
