My theme uses index.php in the main directory for most pages, by the way. (In other words, my theme does not have page.php, single.php, etc.) So you can sorta see what happened, it got overridden as in a subtheme.

[kitchin]

I added a bbpress subdirectory to my theme and got a blank screen. I was using a “silence is golden” index.php file in the subdir and removing that fixed it. I guess the subdir acts as a subtheme or something (though it has no style.css file).

Interesting thing is I could also fix it by dropping in the files from plugins/bbpress/templates/default/extras to my main theme directory, following the instructions here: `http://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

Posting this in case it helps anyone else.

bbpress 2.3.2 and WordPress 3.5.1. Link to site.

Hello,

I have a multi-site set up and a problem with users automatically being added to other blogs (sub-sites) on their network. Upon visiting a sub-site, the user gets assigned a “participant” role. This is then shown in their “My Sites” drop down in their Admin bar.

In the forum “settings”, there is a check box with this next to it:

Automatically assign default role to new, registered users upon visiting the site.

I have toggled this off and on several times, in the hope that it would fix my problem. It doesn’t.

Please help: why is my multi-site installation still adding users (“participants”) to every sub-site they visit?

Thank you.
Sonny

As of ~2.3, the “allowed tags” are filterable within bbPress.

Look for the filter bbp_kses_allowed_tags. It’s in includes/common/formatting.php.

Hi there, im moving from bbpress1.1 to bbpress 2.3, into a wordpress multisite environment.
I already import all data, i can see it in mysql.
Also, i can see the topics in the site admin dashboard (Topics->All Topics).
The issue is that i cant see the actual topic/post, if i click on view | edit, it always send me to a 404 error page.

How do I debug this?

Best regards

I’m wondering how I can make the 14×14 avatar images that are in the loop of topics on a forum landing page. I know I could just go into loop-single-topic.php and change the 'size' => 14. But I’m wondering if/how I could use an add_filter? in my functions.php (so it’s not blown away with an update) to make this change.

I have a pretty basic understanding of add_filter but I’m not able to figure out how to get this working. Any help is appreciated

[Jared Atchison]

There is a bbPress signature plugin. Search the WordPress.org plugin repository and you should find it.

[tharsheblows]

Ah, ok, I understand what you want (I think). I have a page like that where I use the [all-recent-topics] shortcode : https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ . I’m going to try using it in a text widget* but when that doesn’t look like I want, will copy / paste / edit and make a new shortcode to use. (I like shortcodes.) I’ll probably get to it sometime this week and can post it if you’d like, with the caveat that you’ll need to adjust the styling for your site.

*if you want to use shortcodes in text widgets add

// Use shortcodes in text widgets.
	 add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

to your functions.php file.

Hi, is there a feature of auto signature in bbpress or any intention to develop such a feature? All the plugins are not good enough…

[DFC005]

After much soul Google searching, I finally came across this good explanation of how to display the lastest x amount of posts.

Hope it’s helpful for someone else.

I have a few problems on my forum, maybe you can help :

Thanks !

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!

[TrishaM]

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

[jhai]

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.

[fontadoni]

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!
