Hi there,

I’m new to WordPress and BB Press so if this is a stupid question I am asorry!

My website forum is located here: http://www.clinicalrecoveryspecialists.com/forums/

2 questions:

Is there a way to Create a Header or Welcome Announcement at the top of the page above the forum itself?

Also, it loooks like the name of the Forum is pulling from the Title of the Website, is there a way to change that? I would like to rename it if possible.

Just a note: I am using most updated versions of WordPress and BBpress as well.

I appreciate the help!!

Ashley

The changes on visual editor (2.3.1, 2.3.2) breaks Ckeditor compatibility.

Hi – I’d like the same tags allowed in my WordPress comments – <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <cite> <code> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong> – to be allowed in my bbPress posts. In particular, I’d like people to be unable to link to images in their posts. I think the allowed tags in WordPress comments are determined by the wp_filter_kses so was trying to use that.

I’ve tried many many different things and have the img tinymce (which I’ve enabled) button disabled and the html editor disappeared, so the only way to get an image is to type in <img src="whatever" /> to the visual editor, but I’d still like it to just not be possible.

I thought this would work but it hasn’t (I’ve also tried making a custom filter function which, of course, didn’t work, so I think it’s something here):

remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_topic_post_content', 'bp_forums_filter_kses', 1 );
add_filter( 'bp_get_the_topic_post_content', 'wp_filter_kses', 1 );

Anyone know? Or just stripping the img tags somehow would be great.

I have bbPress 2.3.2 installed and WordPress 3.5.1. Thanks. The site’s not live so I don’t have a link, apols.

Is it possible to replicate the theme/layout of the bbPress.org forums homepage easily?

Love the forums on the left and the latest topics layout. Would love to see this as an option in the settings for the future.

Any ideas in the meantime?

Hi guys,

Since upgrading from version 2.3 of bbPress to 2.3.1 (and now 2.3.2) I’ve lost the Forums/Topics/Replies options from the menu down the left of my site dashboard.

‘Right Now in Forums’ is still there, but if I click on anything (Forums, Topics Replies, Hidden Topics, Hidden Replies) I get the message ‘Cheatin’ uh’ as if I am not the site administrator, which I am. It’s a problem as we occasionally get ‘pending’ posts.

Also, I can no longer edit posts from the forum itself once the time set in ‘Disallow editing after’ has passed.

Is this a common problem that’s likely to be fixed, or could there be a conflict on my site?

It’s http://www.footyplace.com incidentally.

Hi everyone.
First, my system:
wordpress 3.5.1.
buddypress 1.7.1 (with bbpress 2.3.2 integrated).

I’ve changed my site from buddypress group forums to bbpress 2.3.1. The transition went fine, but now I have this problem:

Users can’t edit their own messages.
I have also set option “Disallow editing after” to 15 minutes, but still users can’t edit their own posts.

Then, I have some difficulties to understand how forum visibility settings of bbpress (public, private, hidden) correlates to group visibility settings (public, private, hidden). If I set a group as hidden and than bbpress settings to “private” or “public”, new topics of groups forum appears in “latest topics”. Users that are not members of group that try to enter the forum get 404 error, but they still can read the topic, and this is not a good thing. If a users sets his group as hidden I think he don’t want to see it visible in latest topics, don’t you? 🙂

[Nashwan D]

Nice version, More fixes… Better bbPress 🙂

[zeaks]

This didn’t work. I went to tools > export, selected forums, exported it, did the same with replies and topics. If I select posts, it will export the blog posts.

Some of the forum info shows up like, forums and sub forums and sticky posts. In the sidebar widget it is showing forum topics, and I can go to them, but in the actual forum, it’s empty besides the sticky posts.

WP 3.5.1 / bbpress 2.3.2 / PHP5.4.14 / IIS 5.1 / WinXP SP3

Hello.
My WP site looks working well and I can post a blog entry or a comment.
After creating a topic on dashboard and subscriber tried to submit Reply, an error occuerred.
“HTTP 405 – Resource not allowed”
I googled around and found something about XML-RPC, but from WP3.5 it is already turned on in default.
I also checked my IIS settings and confirmed PHP is mapped to GET/HEAD/POST.

Any ideas to solve this?

Simple question. It’s possible to convert or export group forums to site wide forums??

[Jared Atchison]

Copy

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

to

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

Edit as you see fit. You’ll likely want to place whatever before <div id="bbpress-forums">.

You can copy any template elements that you want/need to change to a bbpress folder inside your theme and bbPress will automagically use those template files instead of the default ones.

Hello!

I’ve been having this problem for so long I didn’t really notice it until some members on my site complained about it. Apparently, my forums page’s load time is quite long when you’re loading mysite.com/forums. I have buddypress running and I’m not able to configure my wordpress page to buddypress forums, I guess since bbpress is running. Everything is updated to the highest update. My breadcrumbs directly links most of my pages to the forum index; is there a way to have my page not redirect to itself?

[dieuw26]

I have exactly the same question. Al my pages start with my header, precontent with page-title and then page-content. BBpress only repeats my header and not the page-title. I also want some intro tekst on the page-content before the forum starts. Does anyone know which bbpress php file i should edit? Or, and this would be easier, is there a way in which i can load a forum in a page?

Would be really nice if someone knows

Thanks!

[zeaks]

Great thanks, i never even thought of using the import/export options.

Is there any way to clean up the original sites database after moving the forums? Looks like forum information is within the WordPress tables instead of its own wpbb_ whatever tables, I don’t know much about databases so I could be wrong.

Hum sorry, must’ve gone into the spamfolder. I tested it myself and it works. Aw well, I sent you an e-mail via your contact form, cheers.

I actually cleared all the blocked words and words for moderation and increased the amount of links in a post before moving to pending to 10 (this hardly ever happens from my users) and I am still getting pending posts. more info here.

Participant-created topics set to "Pending" upon creation

[dubbinz]

I am also facing this problem. At first I thought it was the various programs I had to deal with spam and general bad behaviour (akismet, wanguard and sucuri) but I disabled all the plugins and I also increased the amount of links in a post to 10 before it gets moved to pending in discussion settings. All settings for discussion have removed any need for moving posts to pending or marked for approval. Settings for akismet are unchecked in forums settings and comments blacklist and moderation list have empty fields. Topics or replies should not be going to pending but they are still going to pending and this is destroying my community. There is no message to the user saying that his reply or topic is awaiting moderation (unlike the OP) and the user continues to edit his topic or reply and post again which also ends up in the pending queue and then I have a load of the same topic edited in the pending queue.

Whatever is causing this is inside bbpress core. I need to know which setting to disable to ensure no topic or reply goes to pending. Yes I know the risks, this is another issue. Can anyone please tell me how to stop this happening. which files in bbpress do I have to edit.

BBPress 2.3.1

I sent you a mail yesterday but didnt get any answer.
You can send a personal message from http://unsalkorkmaz.com/iletisim/ or to e-mail adress at the bottom of this page

[Robin W]

Yes

Just set up the new area, and add the bbpress plugin

Then export (dashboard>tools>export) from the old area – you’ll want post and forums as minimum, but you can take everything if you want.

Then import into the new area. You will need to install the wordpress importer, but that is part of the process, so just say yes when prompted.

Part of the import process will ask you who to assign imported posts to, and you can decide to allocate them to admin, an existing user in the new site or (if you exported everything) to the imported users.

Hi,

We’re looking for a forum to support higher education. Hopefully someone can answer this quick question – I couldn’t easily see the answer in the features page.

Is there a page in bbpress (admin or otherwise) that shows you all the forum posts an individual has made?

I’d be surprised if not, but just checking.

Many thanks,

Is it possible to move bbPress to another (new) WordPress install and keep all existing posts and forum content? I don’t care about users, I just want to keep the information on the forums.

[Kal]

Anyone know anything about this yet? I’m using bbPress in conjunction with Buddypress, but even when groups are creating private forums, all logged in users have access. Is there anyway to assign certain forums as accessible by certain groups only?

Thanks in advance,
Kal

The [bbp-topic-tags] shortcode works fine in my custom theme…but all the tags come out with the same font size. How do I get it so the tags display with different font sizes like on this forum?

Sorry for such a basic question…I’ve looked but can’t find an answer that applies to bbpress 2.0+.

I’m using wordpress 3.5.1 and bbpress 2.3.2

Thanks.

[John James Jacoby]

Good question. bbPress uses roles in a different way than BuddyPress does. BuddyPress does not have custom user roles the way WordPress and bbPress do. Instead, right now roles are just a way to identify what user’s have what position in the group member hierarchy: admin, moderator, member, banned, etc…

Which is to say, one does not directly effect the other in any real way.
