Hello,
I just installed bbPress and am developing locally but when I create a new Topic from the front-end I get the following error:
ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that?
I’m not trying to do anything fancy (no sticky, no tags, no email subscription) and I checked using Twenty Eleven and had the same problem. I also updated the permalinks.

WordPress 3.5.1.
bbPress 2.3.2

I’d be most grateful if someone could shed some light on this.

I have exactly the same problem on a virgin install of WP and WPML using the latest builds.

Can someone please help as it seems WPML is a flawed plugin otherwise.

Hi everyone.. i use bbpress on a theme generated by Artisteer, and seems it’s not compatible with the bbpress forum plugin.
When i try to open the forum, i see a thing like this: (click on the link to open the screenshot)

If someone has any idea of the problem, please contact me!

Hello,
I have upgraded the bbpress to 2.3.2 and buddypress to 1.7.2 . Since then I am having trouble to fix group forums. Well after going through the guide I was able to get the group forums to work. Now I see that when I go to particular group>select forum from group menu, I see that the sub-nav with “Add new topic” and “forum directory” has disappeared from the sub-nav. What I see is that the Add new topic form is seen at the bottom. If there are 20 forum posts, users have to scroll down to start creating new posts. I would like to know if there is any way
1. to tweek into the template to create an event “Add new post”. If yes , Which is the template that I need to work on?
2. If I need to work on HTML part of the templates is there, which is the template for group forum?
I am pretty sure many more people are looking for this as there is a major change. Help highly appreciated. Thanks in advance
Cheers
Satish

I have already made a forum signup page as directed in these forums and the forum signup is on my widget sidebar of the site. You can see it under “login” which is in bold…to the right of the site. (you probably need to scroll all the way down though)

The problem is, I don’t want a sidebar signup link

I want the link to show right on the forum. It could be below this on the main page or above it. I don’t really care.. I just want the link on the main forum page.

Home › Forums › Toe of The Camel Forum

I tried searching here but not much luck. How can I do this? I am using a theme from Elegant Themes and it shows the templates but it does not show BBPress as an option which is weird.

How can I make the register link show up on the main forum page and not the sidebar?

My site is: http://toeofthecamel.com/forums/forum/toe-of-the-camel-forum/

Just updated Trac.

Here’s my latest findings/ questions on this matter:

Hey JJ, just wanted to drop back in here.
I’ve duplicated my live site on a brand new dedicated server and the behaviour I was seeing on my shared server is still there.

I’ve been doing some tests with a server analyst from my host and his initial thoughts are that WP or BBPress, BP is waiting for a ‘true’ return on mail confirmation before it’s actually allowing any php to continue/ refresh the page to let the user see his post.

If I open up a new browser window and refresh the activity stream for example – AS THE OTHER WINDOW IS STILL PROCESSING THE POST – I can see that it has actually ALREADY been posted.
This means the post is being written to the DB pretty quickly and mail is starting to be sent with the topic reply subscription notifications, but it seems that the page can’t refresh for the poster until the mail has been sent and some kind of confirmation of that has been received.
It makes no difference whether I send the email locally or through SMTP (Google Apps), so it’s not the mail server being slow.

The topic that this is worst on still only has about 30 subscribers though, so it’s hardly hundreds or thousands.

I’m guessing that not many users even on BIG sites will get loads more than 30 or so for each topic, so this is why this may have gone unnoticed in the past.
Could you guys explain to me the process of what BBPress is actually going through BEFORE it is allowed to refresh the page the user who is posting is on.
Their post is being posted way before they get to see it – does the page wait for confirmation of the emails being sent.

There isn’t a problem posting new topics with no replies or very few voices.
I think it has to be something along these lines. Thanks! 🙂

I downloaded and installed bbPress. Put together a forum with three topics, added it to an existing page on my WordPress driven site and all was great! Half a dozen people registered, a couple of discussions began…it worked great. Now, all of a sudden with no warning, the forum is gone. If you click the page to view it, you see the path for the forum at the top, but nothing else: no topics, no area to add a topic or comment, nada. I’ve tried everything I can think of short of deleting the forum and starting over from scratch. Any thoughts? P.S. I can still see the forum and all topics/posts from the dashboard. I’m using wordpress 3.5.1 and bbPress 2.3.2. My site is henderson.lpnc.org.
Thanks for any help or advice!

this version not supporting Userid based URLs

Custom Profile page URL

[Stephen Edgar]

The ‘dev’ branch of Spanish is at 100% translated so give that a try.

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev

[Ravi Kasarla]

I customized the profile page URL to http://www.domain.com/forums/user/123 (http://www.domain.com/forums/user/user-id) and its worked fine in 2.2.4 version..

Today i upgraded the bbpress version to 2.3.2 version and did the above customizations for profile URLs but not working.

Can any one help me on this?

Thanks in-advance…..

[Stephen Edgar]

I am not seeing this on your site now.

I presume you fixed it by changing the parent forums type to ‘category’ so your issue is now fixed?

The ‘unrestricted HTML’ should typically only be seen by yourself the bbPress ‘keymaster’, standard users will not be able to post ‘unrestricted HTML’.

[Stephen Edgar]

Take a look at this plugin which supports bbPress Crayon Syntax Highlighter and this blog post Syntax highlighting: LaTeX.

[Stephen Edgar]

It is the only one I know of, if you have issues with the plugin open an issue on the GitHub project issues section https://github.com/jmdodd/bbpress-topic-post-converter/issues

[Stephen Edgar]

It is indeed, just follow the instructions via the docs 🙂

Hi there,

I am running a wordpress spanish community and i would like to install my BBpress in Spanish, i have read it was possible in bbpress 2.0 but i can´t do it in 2.3, anyone has translated it?

Cheers.

Hi,
This seems very simple to do but I couldn’t get it working. I want the default bbpress theme but wrapped with my theme.

I added the CSS file in my theme and I added a forum index shortcode in the main forum page. Right now the forum index renders OK (the forum index is the content, everything is correctly wrapped by my theme, interpreted by page.php I guess).

But as soon I get to a topic page, it’s the single.php or page.php that is used, without any bbpress template file (no breadcrumbs, etc., there is only the post).

I don’t want to customize bbpress, just want the bbpress template to appear in my theme content templates. Any way to do this easily? I would like to avoid customize all pages one by one and keep built it theme integrity…

[Mickael]

Hello,

I’ve been researching for quite a long time but I’ve been unable to find a solution.

Basically, I just installed the bbPress plugin with an Admin user, Activate it and now that I try to click on the Settings link within the plugins section I’m just redirected to the following page with the following error:

You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

Any idea what the problem could be and how to fix it? as the user seems to be behaving correct wth all other programmes installed?

Many thanks

Hi,

I’ve just imported from phpbb to bbpress. That went well. But I noticed something odd about the hierarchy of the forums. If you go to a parent forum, you get the message at the top: This forum is empty. But the child forums are listed below that message as they should be. Why am I getting that message and is there a way to fix it?

http://sanjoseatheists.com/forum/science-technology/

Please note above the Science & Technology is the title that the child forums should go under. I don’t want people posting directly to Science & Technology. Posts need to go into the child forums.

Also, if you scroll down to create a new topic, there is the message Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content. Is this a security concern, and what should I do about it.

Thank you so much!!!!

@netweb

I can’t get this to work. I’ve googled but I don’t see much for alternatives.

Has bbpress already implemented this or is there nothing out there besides this?

[IPBri]

I wanted to follow up on the end of this. Because the upgrade would never work, the time we spent trying to make this happen and the large amount of spam we received regularly, we decided to completely remove BBPress from our site. Thanks to those who tried to help.

Hi – i just wanted to follow up with a recent workout of success in that David Chandra over at ThemeHybrid.com posted a thread that helped me greatly to get bbPress working 100% beautiful with my Shell child theme thus share as follows in case this helps …

turns out that not only were my default forum and topics permalinks blown out, but also so were the author and topic tag defaults — meaning if i was in a forum and clicked a forum tag or a forum author, i would get a forum page that did not look like a forum but a generic blog post …

so i ended up creating four custom child theme bbPress files and placed them in a bbpress sub directory off my child theme root … the four files were archive-forum.php, archive-topic.php, single-user.php, and taxonomy-topic-tag.php … i found that these four files worked if placed in my child theme root or if placed in my child theme bbpress sub folder but thought it best to keep in bbpress sub folder …

the whole wierd bbPress create a topic form thing went away too given David Chandra’s approach … which was to use replace the child theme shell_get_atomic_template section with the bbp_get_template_part (see his example below) …

BIG kudos to WP community of forums and those who share … viva the bb’s 🙂 cordially, chuck scott

==============
From this post David Chandra wrote -> http://themehybrid.com/support/topic/shell-bug-with-bbpress-forum-index-page#post-79074

you can just use bbp_get_template_part to replace shell_get_atomic_template.

1. create archive-forum.php in child theme,
2. copy the content of index.php from shell theme to your child theme
3. change shell_get_atomic_template( ‘content’, true ); with bbp_get_template_part( ‘content’, ‘archive-forum’ );

if you need to modify the default bbpress template bbpress content-archive-forum.php you can copy the files from wp-content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress and add it in your child theme in bbpress folder.

for example you can add it in your-child-theme/bbpress/content-archive-forum.php, you can copy and files in wp-content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress in your child theme if you need to override it and load it using bbp_get_template_part(); function.

i usually just copy everything to my child theme, but it’s not really future proof, since bbpress tend to delete/add new functions in every release, so full bbpress template override might broke your site. just override the template you need to modify.

your archive-forum.php in your child theme may be something similar to this:

<?php
/**
 * bbPress Archive Forum Template
 */
get_header(); // Loads the header.php template. ?>

	<?php do_atomic( 'before_content' ); // shell_before_content ?>

	<div id="content">

		<?php do_atomic( 'open_content' ); // shell_open_content ?>

		<div class="hfeed">

			<?php do_atomic( 'open_hfeed' ); // shell_open_hfeed ?>

			<?php if (!is_singular() ){ shell_get_atomic_template( 'loop-meta' ); } // atomic context template, in "loop-meta" directory  ?>

			<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

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

					<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'content', 'archive-forum' ); ?>

				<?php endwhile; ?>

			<?php else : ?>

				<?php get_template_part( 'loop-error' ); // Loads the loop-error.php template. ?>

			<?php endif; ?>

			<?php do_atomic( 'close_hfeed' ); // shell_close_hfeed ?>

		</div><!-- .hfeed -->

		<?php do_atomic( 'close_content' ); // shell_close_content ?>

		<?php shell_get_atomic_template( 'loop-nav' ); // atomic context loop template, in "loop-nav" directory ?>

	</div><!-- #content -->

	<?php do_atomic( 'after_content' ); // shell_after_content ?>

<?php get_footer(); // Loads the footer.php template. ?>

LOL – This is BBPress support – You think I am expecting a response this year ?

I assume like with all BBPress issues I have I will end up hiring a programmer on Freelancer

I have to say though I love BBPress – Glad I moved to it from vBulletin (sh*t) after years of grief but the main downside is the absolute useless support infrastructure.

[Aron Prins]

Hey all,

First off: WP 3.5.1 / bbPress 2.3.2

I need to categorise forums… E.g:
We have 4 company forums ( Apple, Coca Cola, BestBuy & Walmart ).

Apple is an electronics company, therefore belongs in the Electronics Category.
Coca Cola is a beverage company, therefore belongs in the Food Category
Etc etc.

How can I achieve these top level categories for bbPress?
We ourselves would like to compage the process to Facebook Page creation – you select your type of company ( category ) and then enter your details ( forum name ).

Thanks in advance everyone 🙂
Regards,
Aron

Hello,

I decided to use bbpress for my forum and made a conversion with Vbulletin.
Everything worked and everything was taken.

Unfortunately all vowels (umlauts/Germany) are not shown correctly: They are shown as question marks.
I checked the database and there all is correct (öäüß).

Does anyone know how I can change this?
Any idea?

Thank you in advance for your help.
