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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 )

[Shmoo]

It’s difficult to judge from an outside of view but I visit one of the larger bbPress driven websites on a daily base and have my doubts on some parts.

http://www.onemorething.nl/over ( almost 3 million posts )

Those guys have upgraded bbPress V1 -> bbPress V2 about 4/5 months ago and still are fighting troubles + losing people-/visits because of it.
I can’t tell if it’s ‘sloppy’ bbPress Core or less quality developers who have messed things up.

The website + community runs pretty fast on a good server and most of the trouble their facing are custom build features…

[michaelw90]

does anyone know what to name the bbPress language files?

I’ve already gotten Buddypress translated, but I can’t seem to get bbPress translated. I want my forum to be in Norwegian, like the rest of my site…

So, what I’ve done:

I downloaded the language files from glotpress. I then put the language files in wp-content/languages/bbPress/ and named them “bbpress-2.2.nb_NO.po” and “bbpress-2.2.nb_NO.mo”.

What am I doing wrong, is the nb_NO part wrong?

Im using:

Buddypress Version 1.7.2
bbPress Version 2.3.2
and I’m using the theme Engage

Thanks for any help on this 🙂

Michael

*EDIT*

I did the same thing for Buddypress before, and it worked.. I just realized though, that the buddypress translation does not work without the plugin Buddypress Translations. I might be wrong, but it doesn’t feel right that it doesn’t work without that plugin..?

[Sam Rohn]

i am testing the teknik-design plugin alongside members, user role editor and s2 member on a somewhat complex project and they all seem to be playing nice towether, i’ve tried several options to restrict bbpress forums AND the topics and replies they contain to a specific user role, the teknik-design plugin is the first thing i’ve found that so far seems to actually work 🙂

unless i am mistaken or it is a very recent development, s2member does NOT allow restricting bbpress posts and replies by parent forum role permissions, even w url restrictions as topic urls do not contain forum slug or similar

so w teknik, you would use members or URE to create a new role and apply the viewing permissions w members (w teknik installed and activated) and it should all work, leave the forum open and visible otherwise

you can use the user switching plugin to confirm it is all working as expected

teknik plugin author says he intends to make this not require separate members plugin and release it as stand alone wp directory plugin after a bit more testing, so anyone interested should encourage him to develop this further via the links in my first post 🙂

I take Example in bbpress forum with 3 sections such as installation, troubleshooting, and themes. Everyone can create thread in installation and troubleshooting, but themes section is reserved who pay for membership, so only membership can post thread in themes section.

Do you have any plugin about membership which I can apply for my web?
thanks

[TR Register]

Hi jwind,

You might want to consider S2 Member plugin that can restrict access to certan pages. It is straight forward to set up and there is also some integration with BBpress roles.

For each member you have to set the level of S2 membership, default S2 comes with 4 membership levels and you can assign different access levels to pages and so on.

Another feature is URI access restrictions which should be able to restrict access in the forums.

Instead of an error 404 the users are told that they have to sign in to view the protected contents.

will be fine, but you’ll likely want to avoid having private or hidden forums. bbPress performs a postmeta query to exclude topics and replies from private and hidden forums, which will be a pretty bad bottleneck.

Hopefully in bbPress 2.4 or 2.5, I’d like to move the last-active-time meta queries to use post_modified in the posts table. That will remove some of our dependency on JOINing tables, and speed things up for you pretty significantly (at the cost of bastardizing the core post schema and its intentions a bit.)

If you have other specific questions as you go, happy to help and be a resource.

[jeteran]

Hello everybody.

I’m very happy with BBPress, it really does the job.

I was going to add other forums in my site and suddenly I saw that the buttons disappear from my main Dashboard (only the bbPress ones: forums, topics, etc)

What happened? I don’t know when this started happening.

Something curious is that, between the second and third group (where the bbPress buttons should be), the separation line appears double.

Thanks so much for your support.

[bbn]

I guess making that change would require

1. adjusting the queries
2. adjusting the post_modified time for the topic whenever a reply is made

possible to do this via plugin?
