Hi, actually I’m trying to develop a WP plugin that will let users create a post and a forum with same title.
You can check and fork my code on GitHub https://github.com/maisdesign/MDPostEforumsCreator

As you can see actually one of the features I’m looking for is the equivalent for wp_dropdown_categories in BBPress.
With this drop down I’ll be able to let the user choose the parent forum for the forum he is creating.

I can’t find any documentation about it, am I missing something?

I am having a bit of trouble integrating my WooTheme “canvas” with bbpress. I have read the “Theme Compatibility” article. I understand what it says but i am not sure when looking at the template PHP files that comes with bbpress where in my code i need to put the template code, and which part of the bbpress template code to use.

I also switched to the “TwentyEleven” theme and it worked fine. I tried comparing the WooTheme code to TwentyEleven using Firebug, and i can see there is an obvious difference in the code. But i am lost as to what to change.

I have setup all the correct settings in the Dashboard area.

Any help would would be greatly appreciated.
I am using WordPress 3.5.1
and bbpress Version 2.3.2

EDIT: I am having a bit of trouble with too much website traffic shutting my site down when i post the page address. So maybe if someone can point me in the direction of more info on intergrating bbpress with different themes. As stated above i have read the Theme compatibility article.

I’m having the exact same issue, but instead of importing the vbulletin database directly from vbulletin server, I have exported the vbulletin database as a sql file and imported it over to a new database that I have created on my server where my WordPress and BBPress installation exist. I have entered the following to each of the import fields:

Platform: vBulletin
Database Server IP or hostname: localhost
Database Port Use: 3306
Database Name: [entered correct db name]
Database User: [entered correct db user]
Database Password: [entered correct db password]
Table Prefix: blank

Once I click the start button, it will show “Starting Conversion” but just hangs there, any idea what I’m doing wrong?

Robin W,

I don’t have a “bbPress Sidebar” Widget. I guess that means it’s a Theme issue, huh?

Learning…to customize bbPress!

I have noted one additional thing about the inconsistently described above. When I click the edit link from the page topic in the sidebar, the breadcrumbs display: maoutdoors.com/forums/classified. When I click the edit link from the forums topic in the sidebar, the breadcrumbs display: maoutdoors.com/forums/fourm/classified. Obviously there is an inconsistent link, but I don’t know how to resolve it.

Thanks for your help.

[Robin W]

In your widgets toolbar you should see a “bbpress sidebar” – drop your items theer and they’ll appear in the sidebar on forum pages.

That is pretty cool. I am new to bbPress. Do i just upgrade to the latest version automatically, just like WordPress?

[barrowr]

I am using bbpress integrated into a WP site and all is working fine apart from when a user has registered and now wishes to view/amend their profile. A 404 page is thrown up. Logged on as admin and viewing the profile is fine just not a contributor.

I have looked far and wide, here on this forum and elsewhere. I have tried to apply any fixes that resemble addressing the problem I’m having, they haven’t worked or they don’t make sense to me.

Any ideas would be gratefully received as this site is now live. I’m also not an expert in php, more frontend but I’ll give anything a go.

Hello. I’m a newbie, set up a WP 3.5.1/Buddypress 1.7.2/bbPress 2.3.2 site with group forums enabled. I’m not sure if what I’m running into is an issue or if it’s by design. I have a user with a participant forum role. In a group wherein this user is a member, the user can create topics, post replies. However, in a group wherein this user is NOT a member, the user is unable to create topics, post replies. Is this by design? I even changed the user’s forum role to moderator and the user is still unable to create topics/post replies in a group it’s not a member of.

If this is by design, is there a way to get around it and allow non-members to at least post replies in groups they are not members of?

Thank you!

Installing bp 1.7 and bbpress at maoutdoors.com, I’ve encountered a problem that I cannot resolve: Forums index and two subforums have been created with one sample topic. The menu links display all of the noted fine; however, the links from the index page do not provide the appropriate connection. I just can’t figure out how one route can be OK and the other not.

Thanks for your help.

Forgot to give you this info:

I’m using WordPress 3.5.1. and bbPress 2.3.2.

Arf! Arf!(Howdy! Howdy!),

I just move my content to a Bootstrap based WordPress Theme (Customizr) that so far I like alot. I’ve never used bbPress before, and don’t quite understand it’s integration with the usage of Pages. Particularly Full Width vs Sidebar usage.

Here’s a link to my site: Toolbox-4-Websites

I installed the bbPress Plugin into my WordPress 3.6 beta 3 installation.
I then created a new page titled “Forums” with a right sidebar.
I drag & dropped that page into my Primary Navigation Menu.
I created two Forum categories and dropped them beneath my “Forums” menu page.
I dragged all of the bbPress Widgets into my Theme’s right sidebar.

Here’s the problem:

When I click on a Forum category, it opens up in a Full Page format missing the sidebar.
The viewers never get to see the 7 widgets.
I also notice that when I’m in the Admin panel, I’m given the option to edit the Forum, but NOT THE PAGE itself. Is this a bbPress issue, OR an issue with my theme?

The Customizr Theme is intentionally designed to NOT allow the first Primary Menu Title to open as a page…only what’s beneath each title. Could the developer’s choice of that option be hindering my ability to edit each page beneath the main menu titles?
(I thought I would contact bbPress first, before I contacted the theme’s Developer).

@johnjamesjacoby …

First of all,

You can drop the attitude. I work in digital marketing for a living and have done so successfully for many, many years, dealing with everything between Drupal, WP and proprietary software, and your response in this thread is easily the most unprofessional, immature, and frankly, baffling I’ve come across.

Understand that I’m under ZERO obligation to report security flaws in codex.bbpress.org to you. I DID contact you via Facebook (evidence here: http://imgur.com/gDcoOYG) out of sheer freaking goodwill. I also tried alerting you to this on the forum. Here’s the FAQ Security that you linked to: “You should also contact the plugin developer either via email (if it’s listed in the plugin source code), or by posting in the support forum on their plugin page asking how best to send them details.”

I couldn’t find your e-mail address, and brought it up here without hesitation — with that said, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the lack of response generally shown on these forums is concerning toward a security flaw. Half the time it’s littered with spam for thai prostitutes anyway. Why would I assume that the thread would even be glanced at? Hence why I used Facebook to reach out to you.

And rather than inform you of bbPress.org login issues, I could have simply chuckled and chosen another open source platform of which to host my community. Or are you so self-righteous that you think multiple users complaining of the SAME login issues are probably just “doing it wrong” ??

In the words of the great Wayne Campbell, are you mental?

Your last question “How I managed to login” is already addressed within my post and in a post I made last week. I’m glad you did your homework.

If you’re ready to have an adult, professional conversation about this, let me know. Or check your Facebook messages from YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, when I addressed them.

[Unsal Korkmaz]

Its already submitted. Approve process is not automatic so need to wait a bit.
Edit: It seems its already approved: https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/12908#comment:5
So it will be published on wordpress.org soon

[John James Jacoby]

I’ve received no message on Facebook (it’s also a poor approach to reporting security issues.)

Please read this page on the WordPress Codex.

Not fair to say I’ve ignored something I didn’t receive. I’m curious how you’re managing to login and post anything here, if logins are broken?

[Etan Rozin]

Will the new version be available as an update to the current one via wordpress themes?

[Nate]

No idea. I posted this last week: zero response. I even messaged JJJ on Facebook. It was a couple of hours ago, but again, nothing. There’s also a major security flaw on bbPress.org’s subdomains that I messaged him about.

I’m having the same login issue on multiple browsers. It seems to be relegated to bbpress.org/forums, because if I’m browsing a topic, it shows my Avatar and the fact I’m logged in. It also provides a ‘Create New Topic’. But the moment I go to bbpress.org/forums, NOTHING works.

[Amin]

I tried many times, but i couldn’t successfully convert forums from bbpress1 to bbpress2 in a Buddypress installation. So I gave up! That was totally a mess.
I have +10,000 posts in bbpress1, and during migration I allways got timeout errors.
after a partly migration, all forums were empty in buddypress (but in bbpress URLs, they was ok). So nothing worked in buddypress.
Users avatars also changes to the default picture in bbpress2.
AT FIRST, BACKUP YOUR DATABASE.

[Shmoo]

I often can’t login on this domain because the login button redirects to the /forums/ page.

When i’am on the homepage of bbPress.org it shows i’m logged in , I can see my avatar the the right corner but when I click to view the forums it says i’m logged-out. Trying to login doesn’t work because of the redirect.

Please fix it, It’s frustrated when you’re trying to help people but can’t post on the forums.

[Nate]

Can someone explain the difference between BuddyPress site-wide forums (bbPress), and if you installed bbPress first and THEN installed BuddyPress?

Here’s my quandary: I want to use the voting-widget plugin. But they only support BuddyPress bbPress site-wide forums. The plugin won’t work, because I installed bbPress first THEN BuddyPress.

I have over 5,000 posts and almost 1,000 users. I’m sure this is a database issue.

If anyone has any suggestions to get these two to work more harmoniously without losing that data, that would be just awesome.

Hi,
Just learning to integrate the design for bbPress in WordPress.

[Unsal Korkmaz]

FirmaSite 1.1.4 released.

Biggest improvement is adding Flatly named theme style. You can check demo here:
http://demo.theme.firmasite.com/?style=flatly

You can read other details of changes here:
http://theme.firmasite.com/category/changelog/

[Tecca]

I haven’t been able to figure this out either, so I set the “BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH” in my functions.php file to 120. I figure I won’t been needing small avatar thumbnails anyway, so I’ll just go with slightly larger ones as default.
