Well, I managed to get the Dashboard item back up via the first 5 bullet points of
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/missing-forums-directory/ .

But we’re still unable to render the actual forums anymore, e.g. from the forums’ “View” links, or /forums/forum. Just blank white pages, maybe the occasional 404. For that, we tried just moving to Mingle forum, but it doesn’t have subcategories (or even let you move forums between categories), so that’s a no-go. So, we’re still interested in fixing bbPress’s other issues…

Hi, I’m thinking get rid of vbulletin and looking to switch to bbpress. Is there a converter for this? and if there is a converter, this converter successfully convert everything? I mean, users, topics, posts, passwords, forum permissions.

thanks in advance.

Go to the next path.

wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / default / bbpress / content-archive-forum.php

Copy the BOLD file into your Theme folder inside a new folder called [ bbpress ]

Like this:

wp-content / themes / [ your-theme-name ] / bbpress / content-archive-forum.php

Open the new ‘ content-archive-forum.php ‘ file and remove the following lines of code and save the changes.

<div class="bbp-search-form">

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

</div>

You can find the Widgets of bbPress right here.

wp-content / plugins / bbpress / includes / common / widgets.php

Thats the file you need to have. By default I don’t think you can drag your Widget-code out of there and start using it inside any other WP project. You probably have to add and redesign it to make it work.

[capsx]

the same here – Forum menu is disappeared …

[BlackLotuss]

Hello!

I’ll be direct here and get to the point, I did not like bbpress so I do not use it for forum purposes. Now the only thing I find really usefully is the login widget it comes with, so I was wandering if there is a way to just have this login widget installed as a separate plugin, since having bbpress installed just for this one thing is kind of an overkill.

Cheeers

[Shmoo]

The first block goes inside your functions.php i guess,

And all others you have to add where to show – inside your template files. example loop-single-forum.php

That fie can be found in your bbpress plugins directory.
wp-content / bbpress / templates / defaults / bbpress / ** here **

Don’t edit files from the bbpress folder inside your plugins folder because those will be overwritten when bbPress updates.
Just copy files that you need to edit towards your theme folder just like this:

wp-content / themes / [ your theme name ] / bbpress / ** here **

[jeteran]

Hey thanks for your response.

Yes I have being trying disabling other plugins and still doesn’t work.

I don’t know if reinstall it should work. Let’s wait for someone that had this issue to help us.

Have a great week.

[axeleus]

After installing the plugin and view the topics, found in the Error Console

Error: TypeError: $(...).on is not a function
Source: /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/topic.js?ver=2.3.2
Line: 22

Fixed bug with changing the .on to .live at line 22 and 27

[Vanilla_Bing]

Funny that. We got the same double-separation and missing menu on our end, but its the latest of our mysterious problems preventing rendering the forums on our website at all. (They used to work fine, but they first stopped showing on the site, then the menu too.) Disabling other plugins doesn’t fix this, apparently.

[Allan]

On one of my posts the background header colour is showing on the Breadcrumb line and where there are links … it makes them unreadable, other posts are fine. Seems it is assigning the formatting incorrectly.

On the demo site the avatars are nice and small on my site they are much larger causing a very untidy layout.

How are these edited .. can not use as it is.

[Sam Rohn]

you will need these plugins to accomplish what you want

paid (or free) memberships by wp role

https://wordpress.org/plugins/s2member/

create roles and restrict content

https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/

restrict bbpress forums AND child topics/replies by user role (also requires members plugin)

http://www.tehnik-design.com/tehnik-bbpress-forum-permissions/

this plugin may be helpful too for organizing roles and capabilities

https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/

also search this forum via the tags i have added to this thread, this has been discussed a few times recently

Forum visible to specific role

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/per-forum-permissions-by-group/

Just test this..

Copy the following file into your Twenty Ten Theme folder.

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/extras/archive-forum.php

And inside that file delete this line <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
Hope that gives you an idea.

[helibosse]

I am new with both WordPress and bbpress and I need your help. I have managed to set upp bbpress forum, but I want the pages to be as simple and clean as possible. So, I want to get rid of right hand column, the navigation column, which I am not going to use anyhow. On the normal WordPress pages I have found how to disable this feature, but not for bbpress.

I am using Theme Twenty Twelve, and I have downloaded both WordPress and bbpress this week, so I guess I have the latest version.

[pocome]

Here comes a hugely disappointed bbPress user of just a few hours. I was so excited to have found a bb seemingly meant to integrate well with WP. What a pain this thing is. The only easy part is to get the plug in and see it in the back end, after that it is mostly an illogical disaster, from the basics (like trying to figure out how to see the forum), to making it work with a theme, to tweaking a theme, to trying to make some sense of bb structure etc. I think the developers have taken a completely wrong route to make things work, with too much of WP back-end reuse without giving it a second thought of how it was going to be implemented, and then used by the followers. I am yet to find ONE board that looks half as good as majority of other free bb software out there. It is sad, that a team responsible for WP development would drop a ball to this degree.

My excitement lasted just a few hours, I even started participating in the translation routine, but unfortunately I don’t see how it is worth it.

[michaelw90]

Ok, so here’s the solution. For all of you who wants to translate bbPress, do not get hosting from one.com. I sent a support ticket to them and here’s what they answered:

“I am sorry, but POT-files is not supported on our servers.”

So there you go, and I’m screwed I guess..

Does anyone of you know any good hostingalternatives to one.com who supports POT-files?

I’m having issues with user role capabilities.
Keymaster & Moderators could not moderate any post. (except the super admin account)
I need to set the roles into:
site role: Subscriber
forum role: Moderator

Tried multiple combinations of roles, just can’t moderate.
Prior to this, I’ve used the reset user roles because I’m getting the error:
“You do not have permission to post”
That’s despite any user role I’ve created. After that was fixed, I encountered this.

Fresh install. Multisite, Buddypress 1.7.2, BBpress 2.3.2

[sumitimmortal]

Hi,
I am using WordPress Version 3.5.1
along with bbPress 2.3.2 and buddy press Version 1.7.1
I have encountered a problem when I try to add post. It gives me a error message – “You dont have permission to create new topic”
Link: https://www.diigo.com/item/image/3y11f/h4uv
Website Link: http://www.indiapalette.com
whenever I try to post a topic on forum as An Administrator or Keymaster.
But when I try to post with Moderator rank or any other The post gets added.

Can anyone please hep me on this.
Thanks
Sumit

[Spudnic]

I have a custom word press role I use for my site moderators. But I assign them their bbpress role just as you would any other user. I use the drop down menu in the standard setting menu, and set them to moderator. From what I can tell Moderators should be able to create and edit forums, but for some reason users who are set to moderator are only able to create and edit topics and replies. I have to set the user to keymaster for them to be able to create or edit forums. The menu item doesnt even appear for the users who have their forum role to moderator.

Is this a bug or do I have to edit the moderator role to be able to create and edit forums?

Thanks.

[drobato]

I believe my problem is related, or similar to this issue https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1844#no1

The infinite loop is fixed if I avoid the use of the_content()

Issue #1844 says it was fixed a year ago though…and I’m running the latest version of bbpress…so I don’t know why I ran into this problem.

[drobato]

I’m running wordpress 3.5.1 and bbpress 2.3.2. I’m having difficulty viewing/editing a users profile.

When you click on the name of the person who started a topic, or on your own “Edit Profile” link, the site “spins” for quite awhile then displays a very large page that has a large number of that users profile displayed over and over again. If I click on one of the links in any of the profiles…like “Topics Started” all is well. I get the users profile with a list of the topics they have started to the right of it.

It’s just the first link that has the problem. It looks like thte code is caught in an infinite loop that just keeps returning the users profile over and over again.

I’m wondering if it could be the bbpress.php file causing the problem. I thought I had the default version with a few things commented out. Here’s what I have:

<?php 
      get_header();
?>
	<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

		<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

			<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

			<?php // include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/inc/meta.php' ); ?>

			<div class="entry">

				<?php the_content(); ?>

				<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => 'Pages: ', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>

			</div>

			<?php edit_post_link('Edit this entry.', '<p>', '</p>'); ?>

		</div>
		
		<?php // comments_template(); ?>

		<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

<?php //get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Thanks in advance.

I am having this exact same issue. On my other site, I could still see the settings page and just reset my users via bbpress, and that solved the issue.

On this site, I can’t see the reset page. I tried installed reset users plugin but I am afraid to actually use it because this is a woocommerce site and I don’t want to lose customer info.

Is there a way of directly editing the database so I could re-enable my keymasters? Both admins are listed as keymasters, but have no access whatsoever to bbpress.

[canutedechou]

Hi there
I being trying for a long time to enable users to post soundclouds players and show it on post and forums.
i couldnt make it anyway, i have latest wordpress version and bbpress, i also try with soundcloud shortcut plugin but it doesnt work
any idea how i can make it?

[Diphda]

I’ve been using bbPress for a while now and it seems that I’ve found it to be the cause of my slow website loading times. I just ran P3 Plugin Profiler and it seems that bbPress hogs up my loading time on every single page.

//EDIT: I just removed the “Recent Topics” widget, and it has sped up, a lot!

However, it still seems that bbPress is loaded on every page and adds an extra half a second to my loading time.

How can I tackle this?

[Shmoo]

Just curious, because I think I made a mistake while expecting bbPress to work like WordPress.

I’ve made this setup.

View post on imgur.com

Titles: iPod, iPhone, iPad and iOS software are Category type forums. The lists (versions-/models) underneath each of those are Forums set as single Forum type grouped inside each cat.

Now I would like to design the single-forum view of all those single forums types (versions-/models) which should give me just a list of the last 25 topics in each forum.
Everything works just fine the only thing is I expected bbPress templates to work like WordPress.

single-forum.php (original)
single-forum-ipod.php
single-forum-37.php
single-forum-ipod-touch.php

This doesn’t work and now I have one little problem, If somebody clicks on iPod ( a category ) inside the Breadcrumbs navigation they end up on the same single.forum.php template while I customized it for the single forums type.

Short, I don’t like people to visit my ‘category forums page’ where they see just a list of forums inside that category. They already know whats inside that category because they just visited the forum-landing-page ( picture )
