After installation there aren’t any menus in the Dashboard dealing with Boards, Topics and Replies. I tried deactivating all other plugins, and I don’t have any plugins affect the Dashboard other than adding their own items to it.

I had bbPress installed earlier but hadn’t done much with it. At that point the menu items were showing. Upon reinstalling the newest version of bbPress, the menus are gone.

FYI…I also had a lot of issues logging in to post this.

Recently I’ve had an issue appear on my dashboard – the entire bbPress forums menu (which should be shown when the forums tab is selected in the dashboard) is being displayed at the very top of the dashboard regardless of what page I’m on in the dashboard. I’m running WP 3.5.1 and have tried deactivating all plugins and themes, but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Hey guys,

I’ve decided to give bbPress a shot. I did a little bit of set up about a year ago and then uninstalled it because of issues that the plugin caused with my theme. I’m running WordPress 3.5 with the Pagelines theme. I also just added BuddyPress to my site.

Right now my issue is that the custom post links are not showing up in my tool bar. I created a few categories a year ago that are still showing up but I’m left with no way to create or edit anything new. Here is a screenshot of my toolbar right now: http://screencast.com/t/A4oTNohyTjH.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’d love to get everything rolling with this asap.

Thanks,
Brandon

I’m having this exact same issue right now. It says I’m already logged in but it won’t let me create a topic.

Not sure what the deal is with bbPress installing on my site but it isn’t creating any of the custom post links on my navigation so I’m unable to do anything to edit my forum.

[Nate]

OK, before we get to my problem: trying to post today on bbPress.org was awful. I logged in and it brought me immediately back to the login form itself. So I tried it again and it said “You’re already logged in.” Fine. So I clicked the “Create New Topic” link and it said, “You must be logged in to post.” It was a vicious cycle. Still not quite sure how I got to this form. Even used a different browser, same problem. I wonder if others are having the same problem …
——————

Onto my problem:

I’ve got bbPress 2.3+ running soundly, but I really need the private messaging feature offered by BP. It’s been suggested to install and turn on only what I need.

Of course, it’s not happening easy.

Here are my two primary issues …
1) The “Edit” link doesn’t appear on the Profile. I’ll continue to take a look at it, but it has me mystified
2 – and my biggest problem) BuddyPress hijacks the sign-up process. I’m OK with that, obviously, except that it’s not sending confirmation e-mails. WP/bbPress send out activation e-mails FINE. But the moment BuddyPress is involved, it’s no longer sending them.

Any suggestions?

I have raised this in the WordPress forum because I assume it may have a general answer when an installation screws up the system.
I uploaded the bbPress folder as instructed for a first install.
Got “Fatal error”. So I deleted the folder and re-uploaded it. I have now done this three times on two separate days. I have meanwhile also uploaded a Log in form widget which is happily working.

Yet again, after uploading after third attempt:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /home/aconbury/public_html/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-list-table.php on line 304

Earlier, second attempt I got:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /home/aconbury/public_html/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-list-table.php on line 866

Only way back into wp-admin is to delete bbPress YET again! Would welcome any ideas.
Bog standard set up, host thirty odd sites but never a WordPress one!

Latest version of wordpress (three days old) and yesterdays bbPress)

[Abel Rogers]

I am Having the exact same problem.

Tried de-activating other plugins, completely removed bbpress then re-install, and still not given permission to do anything even though am admin and role of keymaster.

Cannot access anything, even the about page!

I’m trying to import a bbPress 1.1-alpha forum into bbPress 2.3.2. The import tool seems to start off fine, and the import status (yellow box under the start button) shows an ever ticking over “Converting Replies (3400-3499)” etc. However, after 24 hours I thought it was taking rather a long time…. If I look at the v2.3.2 forum I have 7 copies of each board (there are 4 boards), all showing odd numbers of topics and replies, but all showing nothing when clicked on.

I’ve tried twice now, both from a fresh DB copy from the live version of the site, both with the same looping. I can’t see anything in the Apache or PHP logs to suggest an issue.

Has anyone come across this issue before and/or can anyone suggest things to try to avoid the looping?

Thanks,
Al

Michael,

There is a Simple Machines package called BlogBridger, which allows you to migrate Simple Machines users to WordPress. I’ve not used it specifically to migrate users, but I’ve used it to sync logins between SMF and WP and it will create the WP account based on the SMF login, which sounds like what you want.

As I recall it took a little tweaking to get it to work properly with the latest SMF, but it wasn’t hard. Certainly worth you taking a look.

I’m trying to add a Twitter share button in the loop-single-reply.php so the button appears before each reply’s content:

…….
<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_before_reply_content’ ); ?>
**** [HERE the twitter share button code] *****
<?php bbp_reply_content(); ?>
……….

using the Twitter data-url parameter as: data-counturl=”<?php echo bbp_get_reply_url(); ?>

PROBLEM=SHARE WORKS+COUNTER DOESN’T: The button is sharing the page but not COUNTING. I tried to check everything around the twitter button, but I want to ask for your help in case the place and data-counturl is not correct for BBPRESS.

Please help!

Thanks
Ramiro.

Almost 2 weeks and no BBPress support – Its a real pity support is so useless for such a great plugin – Come on make a difference support guys – Hello ?????

[CraigM1970]

Hi, I’m using WordPress 3.5 with Buddypress 1.6.2, and BBPress 2.2.3 for site-wide forums. I don’t have any groups or group forums – all forums and topics are site-wide.

This may be a bug, but I thought I’d ask here first. A couple of topics have now reached 1001 posts / 21 pages. For those topics, and those topics alone, in the activity stream and in the recent posts widget the links to the posts are incorrect. They drop the /page/21/ part of the URL so people are taken to the first page of the topic when they click them. All links and all other topics still work fine. The problem is limited to topics with over 20 pages/1001 comments

The link is being written in the database that way, without /page/21/, when the reply is created.

Any ideas? Is there some sort of limit re topic replies that the function creating the link can’t handle? I’m just not sure where to start looking.

[joejozwowski]

I read the thread that I believed solved this issue in an earlier version, but I attempted to follow all the steps and was not able to get it to work, so I apologize for the repeat thread.

I am using the bbPress Login widget to allow my users to login to the site and forum and am using the bbPress registration form to create new users.

I do have BuddyPress installed, but not using it’s registration or activation functionality.

I would like to change the URL that is sent along with the username and auto generated password so that my users can login to the site.

I looked into modifying the functions.bb-users.php file, but I am getting NO effect when I change the bb_get_uri( null, null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_TEXT ) to my homepage or bloginfo(‘siteurl’)

I am working with bbPress Version 2.3.2

[capsx]

In the “Dashboard” i can see the “Forum dashboard”
But when i go to “/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum” i got “Cheatin’ uh?” …

[Shmoo]

Sorry, I need to close a few Tabs in my editor because I was looking inside the wrong template.

This gets the login form.
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'user-login' ); ?>

And of course that file is located where it should be:

wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / default / bbpress / form-user-login.php

Duh, stupid me!

[Shmoo]

Just curious,

When I sneakpeak in the ShortCode section I notice you can call the login form by.

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>

This works great inside my templates and the bbPress login form pop’s up where I need him to be.

But now I need to add some classes for CSS reasons and I wandering where I can find the code-snippet of the default form used.

Are you able to profile your site (probably using the Debug Bar plugin) to get more information on what queries are running slowly? According to your other topic, it sounds like some other plugins were the culprit.

If you’d like to help improve the forum, view, and topic-index queries, we have this ticket open for bbPress 2.5: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1925

[John James Jacoby]

This is the problem with open-source software… complete lack of support. At least with YaBB the people were passionate enough about their project to answer questions.

Howdy. Not sure where in the world you live, but in America, this was a holiday weekend, and most of us chose to be with our families. Also, last night was WordPress’s 10 year anniversary, and many of us were celebrating with our colleagues.

That said, our forum staff are volunteers and not under any obligation to assist, just like you weren’t obligated to post your reply on how you solved the issue. Scolding them for not being around won’t motivate them to help you (or anyone else) any faster.

…bbPress String Swap…

David Decker keeps an eye on these forums, and would likely be open to feedback on how to improve this plugin. It’s only filtering words on output, so if it’s inefficient, it’s probably an easy’ish fix.

Thanks for posting your experiences, and thanks for the feedback.

[Shmoo]

First of all you should go to this location:

wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / default / css / bbpress.css

Copy-/Paste the bbpress.css file into your Theme’s folder.

Like so:

wp-content / themes / [ your-theme-name ] / css / bbpress.css

When there is none css folder inside you theme folder just create one.
What you’ve done right now is created you’re own custom stylesheet for bbPress that can’t be overwritten by software updates.

What styles you have to change I can’t tell from looking at your picture, but it’s pretty easy to find them.
Make sure you have a Webkit browser installed on your computer ( Google Chrome is reallt the best for this ). View your website and right-mouse-click on the element you would like to change and pick the option ” Inspect Element ” ( I think it’s called )

Now you have at the bottom all the style , there’s also a location + line number where to find the elements inside your bbpress.css file.

Look at this video for some instructions.

It’s not that difficult.

[justinwhall]

fasle alarm. Turns out, when unzipping. “Tehnik-bbPress-Permissions-master” is the folder you will see. In my haste, I uploaded that and didn’t realize that “tehnik-bbpress-permissions” was actually inside. Oddly, the meta box that restricts acces to forums, still showed up – just didn’t do anything.

[Ravi Kasarla]

I have installed the bbpress latest version 2.3.2 and added the bbpress forum search widget in side bar.

When i used to search the forums, I am always getting the below error message as search result.

“Sorry, but nothing matched your search criteria. Please try again with some different keywords.”

I tried with “http://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-search-widget/&#8221; and “http://wordpress.org/plugins/search-bbpress/&#8221; plug-ins but the result is same.

Please suggest the solution to overcome this issue.

[ZachMatthews]

I ran the P3 Plugin Profiler and figured out that the plug in WP User Frontend and bbPress String Swap were the ones killing us.

Once I disabled those, query times to reach a new page dropped from 6-8 seconds down to less than a second.

This is what my host is saying:

Is that really true? My host (JaguarPC) loves to use the term “unoptimized” when they can’t understand what is going on.

[sublbc]

Hey all, i run this site, and im determined that it should all be ran by wordpress, its all going great etc. But, as soon as i installed my forum, i see that it uses this ugly style, with background color etc.

What id really like is no shadow on the text, no background, small border around the different forums and thats pretty much it.

Heres before: http://puu.sh/32WkF.png
Heres how i want it to be: http://puu.sh/32Wpf.png

I hope you understand my problem :/
Ive read this http://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/ but i cant seem to find the necessary files.

I hope you can help me out 🙂
