Good day everyone. Can somebody help with this. I just installed bbpress forum on my wordpress.org site. I created a forum topic. But when I log out from the site and click on the forum topic it displays this message “This Forum is empty”. When I logged in as an external site user the problem still remain.
Does anyone how I can fix this problem so that when an external user clicks on a forum topic, the forum will load properly and allow the user to leave a reply or comment.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I hope this has a very simple solution.

I need to either stop a BBpress template-tags function from happening, or over-ride it with a new one, but want to do this from a plugin, rather than amending BBpress code.

Is there a line of code that simply stops a function within BBpress, or a quick way to overwrite one using a plugin.

More detail below

I want to revise the bbp_single_topic_description which is currently used in content-single-topic.php to show the phrase “This topic contains 2 replies, has 2 voices etc.” below a post

The bbp_single_topic_description is defined in /includes/topics/template-tags.php

I have written a pluggin that creates a new function, and uses the bbp_template_before_single_topic action hook in content-single-topic.php to display the new wording .

ie

add_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_topic',  'btv_single_topic_description');
function btv_single_topic_description( $args = '' ) {
	CODING STUFF;
	}

But I need to stop the old wording displaying as well as this.

I have three approaches

1. Just comment out the appropriate line in content-single-topic.php – simple to do, but of course gets overwritten by new releases
2. Do something in the plugin that stops bbp_single_topic_description from working using code within my plugin – if this is easy, that is what I’d like to do, but as the function doesn’t have an action hook as far as I know, I don’t know how to remove it.
3. Do something to make my function replace/overwrite the bbpress function, so that I don’t have to hook it anywhere?

Can anyone help me with either 2 or 3 – I hope it’s an easy answer, but am stumped !

Hi there,
I have recently installed bbPress on our site.
It is a great feature.

However,
if you take a look at:
http://cym.org/webmaster/support/forum/front-end-support/

You will notice that the area where we can insert a new heading is covered up by the text editor.

I cant find the code to amend the layout for this.

Help!

I’ve designed a site using theme 2012 in WordPress 3.5.2, with Impact Page Builder for page templates.
Now I need to add 2 forums to the site but I don’t know how to format them so they have the same look created with Impact. I’m using bbPress 2.3.2.
Here is the link to the site: http://northidahocvma.org/
This is what the forum page looks like: http://northidahocvma.org/forums/forum/forum-2

[bchhun]

WordPress version: 3.5.2
bbPress version: 2.3.2
Number of plugins: 1 (bbpress)
Active theme: Twenty-twelve
Environment: Virtual machine built with Vagrant.
Folder rights ?: All good.
Have I fiddled with bbpress source code ?: not yet.

I’m having the same issue as multiple topics I’ve seen here.

The Nonce hidden field is in the form (inspected with Chrome dev tools) but I always get the “ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that?”

I’m trying to import from vanilla to latest bbpress (the vanilla install comes via punbb & others).

I get the following errors while importing users:

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘jtf>IS” WHERE ID = “48076”‘ at line 1]

What can I do?

I have wordpress 3.5.1 and bbpress 2.3.2. Theme I’m using is Avenue and here is link to my site forum

I installed & activated the current version of bbPress into the current version of WP.

I got the “do not have permissions” error, and following the threads in this support forum, installed User Role Editor and clicked Reset.

I was then able to open bbPress settings, but could not find any help at all, so had no idea where to start.

On checking the site, I find that there are new menus “Activate”, “Activity”, “Members” & “Register”.

I deactivated bbPress – no change.
I deactivated User Role Editor – no change.
I deleted bbPress & User Role Editor – no change.

So now the site is messed up with additional menus that I can’t remove. I need help to resolve this ASAP.

Thank you for any assistance.

Any update on this issue I am having?

[Drover]

I was adding a new forum and suddenly it said there were no forums. It says it both in the front end and back end. But as seen in the pic of the problem below, it shows Published (8) and Private (1) as if they’re still there. Ideas?

Hi,

I want to test the import of my Vbulletin forum into BBPress. I have trouble with it because the data is too big and therefore I cannot import my Vbulletin data into a local database.

I would like to know which tables of VBulletin are used by the importer so that I only export those that are needed?

We hope to do more in future.

I’ve had Buddypress on my WPMU site for a while and just installed bbpress and converted the group forums over to that. I had some hiccups along the way but managed to do it. I have a question as I’m not sure if something is working right.

Every time someone logs into the community, they are added as a “participant” to my blog. This I think is ok, but when you go to their profile page in the community run by Buddypress it shows my blog in their blog list.
Also when anyone including myself goes to another user blog on the network they are added as a participant to that blog. Basically everyone is going to end up with a long list of blogs in their profile and menu bar.
I don’t think this should be working this way? Can I stop it from adding everyone as blog participants to every blog on the site?
Also does bbPress need to set everyone as a participant if Buddypress already has their role as Member?

Editing to add I’m using WordPress 3.5.2 Buddypress 1.7.2 and bbPress 2.3.3

[Nate]

(referencing the login issue)

Now that more than a few users are mentioning it, maybe the powers-at-be will give it due diligence rather than passing it off as user idiocy.

[Nate]

This. Again and again, this.

[Nate]

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 …

[Robin W]

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?

[ignitionmedia]

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

[John James Jacoby]

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? 🙂
