hello
I want to create forum with membership but I am wondering what plugin is consistent with bbpress. I’m worried about the name of data is different in MY SQL if I don’t choose correct plugin membership.
thanks

@hansaplastique Images can already be added. In your case you just need to add style to the approved attributes for the img tag.
@tbermudas bbPress supports oembed (assuming you have it turned on in the settings) just like WordPress. So all you need to do is post the URL of the video (don’t link it) and it should automagically embed it.
I’ve added the bbpress Recent Topics as a footer widget in my website. I have adapted the layout fairly well to fit with the theme but I need to hide the text author name but keep the avatar. Better still have the avatar separate to the text so I can position them precisely using css.
I’ve taken a look at the ‘Editing widgets.php’ and edited to a degree but I need a little more guidance to accomplish the above.
Thanks for your response Jared … I don’t mind the change, just would like to know the recommended way to change the allowed tags without having to modify the bbPress files … 🙂
For example;
I allow registered users to place smileys in their text. The smileys are IMG’s with a particular class – the class however will be removed unless I give the user unfiltered HTML.
I trust my users, but just not THAT much 🙂
It’s a limitation of WordPress.
bbPress does not use anything not native to WordPress. All the functionality is accomplished with custom post types, taxonomies, post meta, user meta, etc – it works really well.
However there are some features, such as this, that just can’t easily be done within the confines for the WordPress schema. I’ve talked to JJJ before about this, and it’s just not something that can easily be done without performance hit or using custom tables, neither of which are really ideal for bbP core.
there is a new plugin in development to restrict forums>topics>replies by user role, seems to work fine in my testing so far, requires wordpress members plugin
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/members-and-bbpress
https://github.com/ZanderAdam/Tehnik-bbPress-Permissions
http://www.tehnik-design.com
This plugin allows bbPress forums to be filtered and restricted based on the users ranks as set by the Members plugin.
The plugin will hide all forums and subforums the user does not have permissions to access.
It will display a 404 error if the user attempts to access restricted forum/topic

I’ve installed bbpress but i keep receiving this message: You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.
If i look at users, i see: My Name – Administrator- (forum role) keymaster
If i go to plugins/installed plugins and go 2 bbPress settings (cause there is no forum option in the tabs or settings) i get: You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.
What can i do, 2 make use of this forum…?
Where to find following in my bbpress??:
<?php bb_profile_data(); ?>
how do i add the @mention username under the forum user name on forum posts like is done here and on buddypress.org?
My site is fishwire. net and I’m using wordpress 3.5.1 and bbpress Version 2.3-rc1 as well as buddypress 1.7-beta2.
Thank you!
Hi there, I just upgraded my theme and bbPress (from old to current versions,) and after hours of reconfiguring, I have nearly everything in place. Except…
On my Forums page (http://www.trianglezclub.com/forums/), I’m using the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] to display the list, and for some reason there’s a weird search box appearing above everything on that page.
[bbp-forum-index] is the only thing I have in the editor for that page.
Thanks for any help!
Hello guys,
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO 🙂
=======================
Add facebook/twitter buttons in the [bbp-topic-index] (for each topic in the table) and then in the topic itself (when you are reading the topic, let’s say above the title)
WHAT I TRIED WITH NO SUCCESS 🙁
============================
e.g. I embedded the facebook in loop-topics.php (quite don’t remember the file name, it’s the one doing the topics index) and the buttons are correctly positioned for each topic, but the TOPIC SHOWS THE PAGE SOCIAL COUNT, in other words, each topic in the index shows the same count, the page count.
HELP! – hooks? guides? example?
================================
I read in other post (tags jetpack social?) a mention from John (bbPress) about hooking bbp_get_topic_content and bbp_get_reply_content, I have no idea what does hook mean. Has anybody implemented social buttons or could guide us on what to explore to do it ourselves?
That would be amazing for many.
cheers
Ramiro.
Hi. Same deal, here.
– Uninstalled BB, but roles still showing in db wp_usermeta ‘capabilities’.
Thus, Admin ‘does not have sufficient user permissions’ to use the Dashboard. (Ugg!)
Setting capabilities to:
a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}
does NOT solve the problem.
How to uninstall these bbpress cabilities?
bbPress and Simple Local Avatars were the only ones activated, though, btw.
Plugins I have installed are: Hello Dolly, bbPress, Simple Local Avatars, and Akismet. Now that you mention it, I installed Simple Local Avatars after the forum. I’ll try deactivating these and see what happens.
Same Problem with me
I want to add an extra field to the bbPress registration form but i’m unable to do. can any one help to me on it.
I had this problem with bbpress 1.6 and bbpress 2.3.
I can’t find the topic where I found this solution.
The screen capture is from Internet. In my WordPress I have also only the first option.
@tbermudas that’s an interesting set of options under Reading. It looks like an older version or perhaps not BuddyPress? What version is it?
I only have 1 checkbox labeled Search Engine Visibility which when checked takes the meaning Discourage search engines from indexing this site. I think it has the same effect as the first 2 radio options shown in your screen capture.
Hi,
I think I have solved this problem, which seems to relate to my confusion and some technical conflicts between bbPress and the recently retired Forums functionality in BuddyPress, not helped by the fact that although the BuddyPress Forum may have been retired it still lingers in bits of the interface, documentation and on the support forums.
It would seem the forums tab in settings>buddypress I was looking for is not supposed to be there anymore and the permission error message was misleading – The page does not exist – It is replaced by Settings>Forums
I had a page called forums which was not a forum and a some conflicted slug names once I sorted these I was able to set up a “category” with a number of working child forums. I also had to remove the menu item I had pointing to my forums page (which had been automatically created by the install) and replace it with a custom menu pointing to the root – the category page
So hopefully I can now try this on my live site. Thanks for all the help.

I had the same problem. Look if you have checked the “Allow search engines to index this site” option under “Reading”
It works for me.
I am sorry. I have only almost the same behaviour. My error is with another widget (namely the “(bbPress) Recent Topics” Widget). I did not want to take attention away from this post. I really thought it was the same widget and therefore the very same error. Maybe they are related though, if the user logged in is misidentified and therefore the wrong topics are visible? To me it seemed as if the widget had other “user rights” or “other user ID” than needed.
For more information on my problem with private group forum visibility please follow my link to the buddyPress support as I took it to be an error with buddyPress but probably it really is more of a problem with bbPress.
If you would have taken 10 seconds to search the available plugins on WordPress.org you would have seen there is a plugin called “bbPress Members Only” that does this exact function.
But you didn’t.
Not enough information to help really. I don’t see any actual useful error message, though it looks like your page output halts in bbPress’s breadcrumb. You’ll need to look through your output, do some searching through the code, and debug what’s going on.
Start here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress
Are you using the official bbPress search?
NOT the WordPress search with bbPress enabled or any of the bbPress search plugins on WordPress.org?
Hmm, first of all the bbPress stylesheet shouldn’t be loading on sites that do not have bbPress activated. If it is, then there is a problem some where, because it shouldn’t be.
If you want to customize the bbPress CSS, you’ll want to:
Copy:
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css
to:
wp-content/themes/[YOUR-THEME]/css/bbpress.css
When bbPress runs, it will load your theme’s bbpress.css instead of it’s own.
