Any news?I’ve managed to solve the issue at version 2.3.1 but now i’m experiencing the same problem again at the latest version

[renai42]

hi everyone,

I didn’t used to have this problem, but upon upgrading to bbPress 2.3.2, it manifested. The [bbp-topic-form] shortcode now no longer allows un-privileged users to post. Seems like this bug hasn’t been fixed.

Is there any update to this situation?

Kind regards,

Renai

My dashboard:

I installed the buddypress plugin first and then, the bbpress plugin.

The “forums” option doesn´t display in my dashboard.

Thanks for any help

Hi,

Sorry for replying to myself, but I would like to give a last try before my topic will be lost 🙂

Anyone can answer the answers above?

Thank you again!

Thanks fontadoni – I was at 1.0.2 so I’ll give those instructions a shot. I appreciate your response!

I came across your post while searching for a solution to the same issue. Also found this suggestion from a year ago and gave it a try: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-remove-avatar-from-do_action-bbp_template_notices-in-bbpress-2-0/#post-110255

It worked! Here’s what I added to the BBPress stylesheet:

.avatar-14 {
	display: none;
}

Hope this helps.

What standalone version do you have installed? I was able to do the conversion a couple of months ago. You need to update your standalone version manually to 1.2 as explained here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/upgrade-bbpress-1-0-2-to-2-1-2/page/2/#post-127780
Then do the conversion.

Hope this helps.

I’m starting a new thread for my problem since no one is replying to my old thread and I still desperately need help! If anyone is interested the old thread is here:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/post-import-cleanup-help-needed/#post-134121

Basically what is happening is that I cannot use the Tools > Forums > Import tool to successfully import my old bbPress 1 forums/topics/replies to my newly upgraded WordPress DB…. in a nutshell here’s what has happened and where I’m at:

1. Updated WP to 3.5.1 and updated bbPress (initially) to 2.2.4;
2. Tried to import from my old bb_ tables but first attempt resulted in NO parent forums being converted so all topics showed “No Forum” in the Forum column;
3. Made a second attempt and made sure to check “Purge all information from a previously attempted import” thinking (silly me) that this would actually purge the previously imported data. FAIL.
4. Second attempt actually duplicated everything so I had twice as many topics/replies in my wp_posts table;
5. Following the instructions from the previous thread I manually deleted *all* of the imported topics and replies from my wp_posts and wp_postmeat tables, so that I could start fresh, and then asked for more help to continue since I had no confidence that the import function would work properly;

Since I received no further replies, I tried importing again after updating the bbPress plugin to the current version (2.3.2) but had the same FAILURE of Parent Forums to import – during the conversion I saw the message “No parent forums to convert”, and all topics showed “No Forum” after importing. Oddly, the parent Forums showed up when you clicked on the link to the Forums from the website, and had a number in the column to show how many Topics were in that parent forum, but clicking on any of the forum names then showed no Topics for that forum.

SO NOW I’m back to square one – I scrapped all of that again and now have a fresh database of all my wp_ tables WITHOUT the imported bbPress data, and the bb_tables in a separate database waiting to be imported.

WHAT is the secret to successfully migrating from bbPress 1 to bbPress 2. WHY does the Import Forums not work as it should?

I have an active (well it used to be anyway) forum that has now been offline for over a month and have numerous complaints from forum members……I REALLY need help to get this fixed….

Hello,
I just created a bbpress forum within WP and added it to my menu. The forum I created is called “Discussion” which is the parent, and under that I created a dependent called “Announcements”.

The forum appears here on my site: http://sutherlanddna.com/forums/forum/discussion-2/

The problem I am having is that whenever I try to post something at that url under announcements, i get a message that “it does not accept spam”, and the post is rejected. I’m confused and would appreciate any help how I can make posts and how visitors can as well. Thank you!

I have added a new input line to the form-user-edit.php I plan to add more and have these either via functions.php or a plugin when I have got it working, but for the moment am changing the .php itself.

So for now I have put in new line, copying the syntax of another one :`<label for=”town”><?php _e( 'Town', 'bbpress' ); ?></label>
<input type=”text” name=”town” id=”town” value=”<?php echo esc_attr( bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'town' ) ); ?>” class=”regular-text” tabindex=”<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>” />`

This works fine, except how do I get this to save the info? It lets me change it, but doesn’t let me save it.

However if I set a row in phpmyadmin, then this code displays it, but again doesn’t not save a change.

What bit of logic am I missing?

[aleXka]

I don’t understand in Java errors so much. May be can you have a look?
Here is my bbPress forum: http://fmmorpg.ru/forum
p.s. I found problem in the visual redactor – Link function doesn’t work correct. It refreshes the page so typed text disappears. And it seems doesn’t create a link.

Hello,

I believe bbPress is a great product, just not for me. So I need to uninstall bbPress from my site, but I need to migrate the conversations so they still appear as posts in the site. Is there any way to accomplish this?

Thanks

[tharsheblows]

Do you mean an anchor to the form on the bottom of the page, like this one (I mean, the one I’m typing in right now to reply to you and that you will use if you reply to me 🙂 ).

If that’s it, then add in an anchor to form-reply.php* after the new reply div, like so:

<div id="new-reply-<?php bbp_topic_id(); ?>" class="bbp-reply-form">
	
	<a id="the-reply-form"></a>

If that’s not it, then if you post a link, I’ll tell you which template it’s on – there’s form-topic.php as well – that one’s for topics.

*this should be in a child bbpress theme – instructions are here: https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/ — apols if you already know this, am adding for completeness!

Developer created 2.0.1. patch – it fix this issue.

[asdseed2]

My WordPress is: WordPress 3.5.1. (Russian language pack)
Theme: Emphaino
You are using bbPress 2.3.2.
also installed Akismet (upgraded)

after installs and activates “all in one seo”, I have same trouble:

1. Then “all in one seo” activated – bbPress is dont works well:

1.1. Then I try to create new post, I have an error: “ERROR: You do not have permission to create new topics.”
1.2. Then I try to go http://catstock.ru/wp-admin/index.php?page=bbp-about – I have about the same error in Russian Language – “Dont have permission”.
1.3. Then I in Plugins menu in admin panel, and I click “settings” (http://catstock.ru/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress) – I see the same error – “Dont have permission”

1.4. I stil see the bbPress widget in Console (http://catstock.ru/wp-admin/index.php)

2. Then I deactivate “all in one SEO”:

2.1. Right after deactivation – I start see “Forums, Topics, Replies” in the admin left panel.
2.2. http://catstock.ru/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress2 – start works correct,
2.3. Now I may correctly add new topic or reply at page http://catstock.ru/?forum=test_forum

3. Now I activate “all in one SEO” again, and all goes back to &1.
3.1. In “All in one SEO” settings using “Reset to default” dont help any.

ok, i fixed mine in a different way. Since I was using the default bbpress template, there was no folder for it in the directory listed in the bbpress codex page you linked to.

What i did, was open the CSS editor under theme editor and pasted your line into the pretty much empty box.

[sixf00t4]

I’m having this same problem. no ordered or unordered list markings. I’m not understanding how you fixed this though…

[Tbermudas]

THANKS.

I work with an older version because the plugin to migrate my content from ning seems to work fine only with this version. I’m gonna try the incrementally update and see what happens.

Thanks again!!

[John James Jacoby]

bbPress 2.3 will convert Group Forums to regular Forums, and it’s up to you and your installation to determine if they’re connected to Groups or not.

[Robin W]

Ok, so I have writen and got working my first plugin, I am adding some user info to the reply display

BBpress has the following lines in loop-single-reply

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_author_details' ); ?>
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => true) ); ?>
[...other lines of code here]
				
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_author_admin_details' ); ?>

I worked out how to get a plugin to put the other stuff I need before ‘bbp_theme_before_reply_author_admin_details’ so it’s working fine

BUT I want to change the line

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => true) ); ?>
to
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => false) ); ?>

I think I do this with a “remove action” in my plugin, and then add the code line as I want it back into my plugin – in effect deleting all the code between the two “do actions” and replacing this with what I want.

But I cannot fathom from the codex and other googles quite how you do this

1) is my understanding correct?
2) what would the code line be in my plugin?

Guys –

I have been through the mother of all forum migrations in the last few days, from YaBB 2.3.1 -> YaBB 2.4 -> SMF 1.1.11 -> phpBB3.

All to get into a format that would let me import into bbPress.

Now that I finally have a nice clean copy of my 75k post forum in phpBB, I am getting the following when I run the bbPress converter:

No passwords to clear
No users to convert
No data to clean
Starting Conversion

I stopped it at that point because I have read trying to re-run the converter is problematic.

I would be SO GRATEFUL for any help. At this point I just want to get through with this…
