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!!!!

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?

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.

I am unsure which file to edit bbpress header – the title and the breadcrumb

[Pippin Williamson]

Looks like some of the files didn’t get uploading/installed. The CSS file is missing completely: http://www.svendborgjudo.dk/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css?ver=2.3.2

Try reinstalling.

1/ How do I alter the ‘from’ so it appears to come from the forum rather than WordPress?
2/ how do I alter the link (above) so that the user doesn’t have to negotiate through unknown territory? Why not offer a link to the forum rather than WordPress?
The forum has been up for 3 months and the only posters are the 2 owners. It’s just too difficult for the average user to get to the forum.

Hey guys,
So I took the advice from @jaredhatch to get the private messaging function and installed BuddyPress. But now I have 2 problems:

– BP profiles aren’t inheriting the bbPress avatars (i.e. mystery man displays on the profile, while their post-icon-avatar displays their original upload)
– Edit profile function appears to be gone
– BP isn’t sending confirmation e-mails

I’ve since deactivated BuddyPress, but obviously this isn’t as simple as install BP and turn on Private Messaging.

Any ideas?

WP 3.5.1, BP 1.7.2 with bbPress 2.3.2

I would like to hide the forum title (what is in fact the BP group name) under the Forum tab in a BP group. It’s kind of redundant information …

For a group of users I would like to create a set of usernames and passwords.
I would be happy if someone could either give advice on how to do this or generate the set for me (make an offer)

Hi,

I am trialing bbpress on a site which is not live.

I would like to have member access only, and also have forums limited to groups (specifically assigned membership list).

I cannot seem to do this with bbpress. Any help?

Using Twenty12 theme. site is hdl-institute.org

Thank you,

I’m using the newest version of bbpress. Today I wanted to change some topic names, but there is no more link to that in the backend. Tried to reach the site for editing through the main dashboard page (where the number of posts, forums, topics etc. is listed). but a error-message shows up (it says something like “cheating?!”). it’s not possible that i don’t have any permission for that since i’m an administrator. what to do??

[Cristian Antohe]

What I did found is that in 2.3 the class .bbPress got transformed to .bbpress (notice the capital letter).

What that meant was that my full width archive pages got transformed into two column ones, so my immediate thought was that bbPress broke support for archives in my theme.

While I couldn’t replicate the above, perhaps it will help someone and it’s somewhat related to the symptoms.

After installing bbpress I setup a forum

When I access it, frontend, it looks like this

How come I don’t have a normal forum-like look, like this bbpress.com forum…?

Hi – i’m experiencing similar strangeness as Sami in that my child theme on a multisite network shows the bbPress forums and topics great except when going to the default permalinks of forums and topics … in those cases, the forums go away and turn into a default blog page with the forums as psuedo excerpts appearing with page numbering at bottom – even a featured image gets inserted somehow to boot … none of the other site content gets mixed into this “blog page” – just all the forums run together without looking like forums (but like excerpts) and with no links to forums or topics …

thus mydomain.com/forums = broken as is mydomain.com/topics … yet mydomain.com/forums/my-forum-01/ and/or mydomain.com/forums/my-forum-01/topic-01 are great …

i tried rolling bbPress versions back to 2.2.1 and 2.2.4 but earlier versions have same effect as current 2.3.2 … and while i could create a hack by creating an archive-forum.php file and placing it in my child theme root (based off the archive-forum.php in the templates\defaults\extras folder) it lost a ton of info – e.g., the alerts like “the forum is empty” is gone as are the other alerts like “Oh bother! No topics were found here!” and ditto with the corresponding “Create a New Topic” form …

actually in thinking about themes were bbPress works fine, part of me wonders why the create a topic form even shows on the default forums page – meaning, i have 14 forums and only two of them have test topics yet when looking at the /forums/ default page, it is asking me to create a new topic for forum #2 which is the first forum that is empty (note forum 1 and 3 have test content, forums 2, 4-14 are empty) … maybe that is fine but my point is still valid …

thus with a theme that is having issues, the form and the alerts do not make it in my archive-forum.php file (even the css is a bit different) so i believe there is something fishy with topics and forums defaults that is getting in the way with some themes ..??.. note i tested this with Theme Hyrbrid Prototype and Twenty Twelve with no problem but with Theme Hybrid Shell Responsive Child theme is when my problems stemmed … and i know Sami has created some themes over at Theme Hybrid as well … thus i share his pain :>) (theme compat wise that is)

thanks in advance for any pointers, insights, help that can be shared … cordially, chuck scott

I imported the forums from bbpress version 1.0.2 to the lastest version 2.3.2. Everything looks great, EXCEPT the authors of the posts did not work. All the posts have the same author, which is the Admin. The previous version was the standalone bbpress with the BBintegration plugin.

Please, can anyone help me figure out how to import the authors?

Dear All,

I am trying to setup BBpress forum for my Buddypress website. I think I have all the latest version of each software as you can see above. The website is mostly member only, including the forum. This forum is set as a global forum, I don’t have forum for BP Group, in fact I turn off BP Group functionality all together as we don’t need it.
The goal is to set the forum so only registered and logged-in member can view and interact with it.

My main problem right now is as follows:

1. I logged-in as an Administrator and created a Category (or Forum) and I set it as Private.
2. I checked if this user can see the forum, and it does.
3. I logged out and logged in as one of the member, which has WP Role as an Editor.
4. I went to the Forum and expecting that the user can see the Category that the admin had created. But instead I got ‘Oh bother! No forums were found here!’ message.
5. Then I went to check the capabilities of the Editor role using the Members plugin, and confirm that Editor has read_private_forums checked.
6. I went to the Users management page (having relogin again as Admin) and change the member’s Forum Role to Keymaster.
7. Went back in as the member, still can’t see the category. Admittedly this was a long shot because I read somewhere that Forum Role doesn’t have any effect these days.
8. Then I went to the Users management page (having relogin again as Admin) and change the member’s Role to Administrator.
9. Went back in as the member, and now I can see the Category.

Obviously this in not the behaviour that I expected. I searched high and low on the net, and didn’t seem to find an answer for this.

Anybody has any idea what might causing this? I’ve been on this problem for almost a week now, and still haven’t found a solution. Asking in this forum is my last resort, so any pointer would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!
Chris Prakoso

Same for me, only longer story.

Installed bbPress, made all forums, and just before releasing to public suddenly magic began. Instead of forums – 404 pages for all users, even Admin couldn’t post new topics. First I blamed all localization and customization stuff I done to bbpress, but now I deleted WordPress database, created new one, made fresh install of WP 3.5.1 and bbPress 2.3.2 – everything wrong from beginning –
1. Created Forum nr 1
2. On creating Forum/Category nr 2 – Can’t select parent forum (‘No forums avilable’) – but they ARE in forum list, just nobody can’t see them even bbPress itself 🙁

I tried many latex plugins but they work with normal posts and pages. I want to use latex code in topics and forums.
