That is pretty cool. I am new to bbPress. Do i just upgrade to the latest version automatically, just like WordPress?
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.
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
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?
Will the new version be available as an update to the current one via wordpress themes?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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/
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.
I completely agree with you, @nerdenpose. While the two above solutions essentially work, I’d much rather remove it completely from my theme. bbPress seems to be about clean and elegant, so I try to keep it that way by removing features that aren’t needed rather than hiding them.
Also, don’t forget to remove this line if you don’t want it shown in specific forums as well (to go along with the above post).
From content-single-forum.php:
<?php bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>
Also the “visibility: hidden” solution in the first reply irks me a bit. It works, but instead use “display: none” if you’re looking to remove these bars using CSS.
Just came back to this after a number of months and see there are a few new versions out
Have group subforums been implemented yet? I couldn’t tell from the release notes.
once installing https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/
bbPress appears
it is not a real solution
When I change a group from public to hidden, the related forum topics still populate the forum index for non-group members. However, clicking on the group link results in “page not found.”
Question: is this a bug inherent to bbPress (i did notice that the recent update mentioned something about hidden groups in the change log)?
or
Could this be something wrong with my forum database. I did recent just convert over to bbPress from default BuddyPress forums. I thought everything went smoothly, but I could be wrong.
WP 3.5.1, bbPress 2.3.1
Suffusion 4.4.6 theme with bbPress plugin and child theme support
My site has a long-established definition of “participant,” so it will be confusing to use the same term for the forums.
Is there a way to change the default role to “member”?
Many thanks for your help, Anna

Sorry the link didn’t work for some reason.
Try this one.

I’d like to do this to. Which plugin?
There was a bbpress / wordpress sync plugin for bbperss 1.x
