He’ll just tell you that the problem doesn’t exist.

You know, when I mentioned it the 3 other times (along with another user that had the same complaint). Or the fact that any user can go in and edit (or delete) the bbPress codex pages.

Nothing to see here, move along …

There seem to be some issues with this site and remembering users.

You can login to bbpress.org, but as soon as you try to go to the support area, it logs you as anonymous. If you click the lost password it tells you that you are already logged in. Logging out and in again doesn’t fix, and login frequently goes nowhere.

I found two solutions

1. logout, then click lost password, get the email, change password and then login

2. Come to the site using https://bbpress.org/wp-login.php

JJJ – this started for me about 10 days ago, before that it was intermittent, now it is every time I come to site – any ideas?

Update: I ended up added this to my fuctions.php and its a fix

**Note:
I’ve recreated this thread because of a weird bug on this site – when i go to the other version of it, the system turns my account into annon and won’t let me edit, but as soon as i go back to forums I’m logged in and can create new threads. I DON’T like computers today. #poundshead

Hi,

Unfortunately a programmer erronously changed the permissions in the database for users to access forums while chasing down an issue of forum components not displaying…

Despite setting the database values back now no keymaster can actually create forums!

I’ve tried removing buddypress and reinstalling, but no luck.
I’ve tried refreshing cookies and clearing caches.
I’ve tried creating fresh keymaster user accounts, no luck.

HELP! I’m going mental.

We’re running bbPress 2.3.2
buddypress 1.7.2
wordpress 3.5.2

In my opinion, a forum isn’t a great piece of software for this kind of experience. You may want to use BuddyPress, and setup some kind of private activity stream, or create an explicit hidden group for each partnership.

If you’re committed to using bbPress, you’ll need to do some custom development to use bbPress for this job.

Hi, i have searched different forums here, and tried different solutions but not yet found the right one.

Im now using WordPress 3.5.2, and like many others here i have problems with my bbpress installation for 2.3.2, which started when the new bbpress plugin came out and i found my Forums menu had disappeared, and my admin user where locked out for trying to fix things straight. I tried this solution (“http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/lost-permissions-for-administrator/”)

1) deactivate plugin + delete plugin
2) manually installed older version from SVN (http://bbpress.svn.wordpress.org/branches/2.2/)
3) export forum data (from Tools)
4) reset forum plugin
6) installed wordpress import plugin
7) imported forum data

..and I where able to see my forums in the admin menu once again. However once i did update the plugin again, i where locked out and lost the forums in admin menu once again.

I haven’t been able to administer the keymaster to my Admin, i have tried the solution (before i updated bbpress to 2.3.2) with “Admin \ Tools \ Forums \ Remap existing users to default forum roles” and it says OK – fixed 6 roles, but when i check my Admin user in the users list im still just a Forum Participant. (After update i don’t see Forums under Admin \ Tools)

I try using the User Role Editor (but it may be i haven’t understood it fully yet… – im not able to administer the administrators capabilities through it, at least i havent found out how to do it), my Admin user has also another user name than “admin” – if that make this a problem?

In my forum, i (the admin) and the subscriber/editor users, is able to see the forum and the under-forums, and how many topics and replies/posts there are, but when i click one of the under-forums with ex. 12 topics and 16 posts. I get the message:

“This forum contains 12 topics and 4 replies…
Oh bother! No topics were found here!”

But im able to add new topics, and they seem to work like they should, but im not able to see my old topics, and i only see one reply – when i follow the freshness-link – it also acts in different ways – sometimes i get to a page – that

Im not too used with coding, so please explain carefully what i could/should do?
(And my english may not be all correct, as its not my main language).

My page is at http://www.politiorkester.no (in Norwegian) and the forum is hidden – since its on a membership required page.

This plugin will get you about 70% of the way – bbPress Genesis Extend

The remaining 30% is going to be manual CSS tweaks and possibly a few other changes that are specific to your theme (and Genesis)

Hi:

I have a bad feeling that this is something that gets asked all the time and I just haven’t found the right search terms, but here it goes. Please just direct me to prior threads.

If you visit my forum at: http://www.tnbizguide.com/forums/forum/tnbizguide-talk/

You see that bbPress is being forced to wrap the menu and other items in awkward places instead of displaying everything on one line together that should be on one line?

Is there any way to fix this a non-coder can handle? 🙂

[PatJenningsBigGloves]

Hi. I’m setting up a fitness site with a forum and I’d like each member to be able to have their own ‘Training Log’ area in the forum, i.e. they start a post called “Jim’s Training Log”, and only they and I (forum owner) can post, or potentially the user can specify whether other forum members can view/comment on the post. Is this possible in bbpress? Is it as simple as each user starting a new post in the ‘Training Log’ category, then choosing whether to lock it or not?

Thanks for any responses, hope that makes sense!

[mcarrico]

Two Questions:

1. The Edit post button on the bar of the post is throwing a 404 error. It is trying to take me to the following url: http://intranet/index.php/forums/topic/the-cooking-thread/edit/?view=all and there does not seem to be a corresponding page. Is there something during initial setup that I missed to allow for this url to be populated upon post creation? I am still able to edit via the “Topics” area of the dashboard but I would like for this functionality to work for my users.

2. I am trying to override the front-end post editor to be a rich editor. I have tried installing the tinyMCE plugin and replace the built in editor with the html tags via http://codex.bbpress.org/enable-visual-editor/ with the following code:
function tmceeditor( $args = array() ) {
$args[‘teeny’] = false;
return $args;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args’, ‘tmceeditor’ );

but am having no luck. Again, the editor in the dashboard editor seems to be inheriting the tinyMCE functionality but I would like the user front-end to use this editor as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am on WP 3.5.2 and bbPress 2.3.2 with a custom theme.

[sportsbanter]

We are having trouble removing the left margin on our BBPress Forum http://sportsbanter.com.au/forums/

It throws out the headings on the forum main page and everything is out of alignment.

Any ideas on how to remove the left margin (the white bar running down the left hand side of our forum)?

[Robin W]

where are they logging in? are you using the bbpress login wideget or going via WP-admin If using wp-admin, then take this away from them….

I use bbpress WP tweaks, this creates a forum specific sidebar.

Into this you can drop the BBpress login widget, which means that when they go to your forum page, they then get to login using the widget and remain on that page.

Like you I then give them “no role for this site”, and “participant” for the forum.

I also untick the “show toolbar when viewing site” , so that they don’t see anything wordpress-ish, just my theme. They can amend passwords and profiles through the forum, so don’t need it.

[Monika]

I like to customize BuddyPress and bbPress,
but both of you told me to use a child-theme,

how can I do this?
Thanks in advanced for any ideas

[neiluk]

Hi, I’ve installed bbpress and created my forum, and I am able to create topics and post without any problems

Now the not so good part – and I know it’s something I am missing….

I tried experimenting and created a user, and assigned them – site role ‘no role for this site’, and forum role ‘participant’.

the problem is that when they enter the login details, and click login, it displays the ‘You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page’. error message, (but if I then enter the url for the forum they have indeed logged in successfully.)

what I am trying to achieve is that users can access the forum only and not my site’s dashboard.

If I change the site role for this user to ‘contributor’ then there are no errors when they try to login, and the user is taken straight to the site dashboard instead of the forum, which is not what I am wanting.

I apologise my crudeness in explaining this as I am new to wordpress.

any help will be much appreciated!

thanks
Neil

I want to be able to have a form template that shows up when someone goes to post in a forum. i.e. I have a form for businesses to post if they have plants available. Instead of typing out the information in the forum, I would like a form to show up so they can just do drop downs or fill in the blanks.

I’ve read lots of information, but some is a bit over my head so I’m not sure if I have found anything that will do this EASILY. I am not a coder, and do not feel comfortable editing code.

Can a form be built in something like contact form 7 and then shortcoded in? I tried what I thought was that, and it didn’t work and not sure how to figure out what else to do.

Thank you for all suggestions.

Using WP 3.5.2, BBPress, 2.3.2 I don’t have a site that has anything to look at yet – just practicing for now.

Thanks.

Did you find a solution? I installed BBpress on a site with latest WordPress and Buddypress, but I cannot create new topics from the forums. I have the exact same problem you had…

[Unsal Korkmaz]

This week’s question about bbPress:
The default display of the current user is the fullname (also here in this forum), but I want to change it into the nickname they have entered. How can this be achieved?

Answer: http://theme.firmasite.com/support/topic/display-username/

[somuee]

been having this exact problem. definitely not a theme issue and i’m able to successfully set up bbpress on another server. one difference between the 2 servers was that on the one that doesn’t work, i already had a page called ‘forums’ before install. tried uninstalling the forums, deleting the page and deleting the bbpress tables in wp_posts, but i still don’t get anything displaying on the ‘forums’ page (they DO display on the sidebar if i install the widget)
thanks for any help

[arcandio]

I’m now having this same problem. I’ve been all over the site so far, and all I’ve really found is that I need to fix my mod_rewrites or reset my permalinks. To restate my problem, when I test a post on my forum, it loads a page similar to what ryandoz posted. If I refresh/reload the page, the proper page comes up.

I’m working with a pretty vanilla install here, until this happened, I hadn’t even changed the permalinks from the default install (done by SimpleScripts). I don’t know enough about apache to know how to properly fix my .htaccess file to rewrite the urls, and anyway, I would prefer if I could set it up in WordPress.

So, what’s the deal with the rewriting? What exactly is actually going on? bbPress is asking for a url that isn’t rewritten, then the server tells the client the page was moved? Is that not something that bbPress can handle? I really have to put extra Rewrite rules in my .htaccess if I want to have a vanilla install of WordPress use a vanilla install of the bbPress plugin?

[SickSquirrelTwo]

Activate it and the categories disappear from the sidebar. Yesterday we found Ultimate WP Filter did the same thing. I deleted it but as soon as I activated your plugin, bam, most of sidebar goes away.

[Pebbleontheshore]

Sorry i didn’t meant to do this. Wanted to check whether this is working in bbPress demo. it seems the illogical li usage without “ul” or “ol” causes this problem. and it seems editor does not filter improper html tags. You helped a lot of people with technology and you will also reach a great height..!

[glasscitymashers]

I just used the ‘Import Forum’ tool after installing bbPress, and 99% of everything is there! The only thing I need help with is that all posts and replies show the author as Anonymous. Is there a fix for this that I am not aware of? Something I’m doing wrong? I’ve ran all the repairs, as well.

[zintarweb]

I have a newish install of WP and bbPress on a WISP (win, iis, sql server, php) server. I have them both running. But, bbPress won’t show a “topic” (a message), instead, it jumps directly to the reply function.

go to:
dev.teamfishco.com
forums
test
pick a topic.

instead of showing the message, it goes directly to the reply… any help?

[SickSquirrelTwo]

I enabled plugins today. The site broke (every other post is blank; I use bbPress with WordPress) so I deactivated those plugins.

Posts are still missing.

I decided mid-type to test again. One by one was activated. Ultimate WP Filter caused it to happen.

So … y’all have a similar plugin? You enter a list of words not allowed.

[Laughing Cat]

I’m having the same issue, it only happens for non-admins on bbpress home archive, where I have latest topics and forum list shortcodes too (which work fine)

has this issue been solved?
