Is my expectation of not getting any reply correct? Anyone with any hint?

[NewSha]

Thank you for your reply John!
Excuse me my stupidity, but I don’t really get how to implement this code.
Could you explain to which file in “wp-content/plugins/bbpress” should I add this piece of code?
Should I download any extra plugins?
Thanks!

Hi,

can somebody tell me which SQL entry I have to change (and in what way) so spectators can open new threads on my bbpress forums?

Thanks!

Hello,

I manage a website (missdots.com) and I’m having issues with my bbpress forum. I’m using wordpress 3.5.1 and bbpress 2.3.1

My issue is that whenever a new user registers to use the forum, they are sent an email with their password as is usual; however, when they go on the site to login, entering the login information does absolutely nothing. The topics and replies still carry the disclaimer “you must be logged in to create a new topic/ reply to this topic”. I’ve tried logging in using the test user I created on both the login page I created and a login widget, both to no avail.

Even when I’m logged in as the admin and can edit pages/posts/etc, it’s still telling me on the website that I must be logged in to use the forums.

I have the forum settings set so that the default user role is “participant” and the general setttings set so the default user role is “contributor”. (Also to keep my forum up and running right now, I have it set so that anyone can post w/o registering, although I’d like to ultimately not use this method)

Does anyone have any clues on how to fix this?

[Sam Rohn]

here’s a new plugin which may resolve this issue –

http://www.tehnik-design.com/bbpress-forum-permissions/

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 have found a ticket in bbpress trac named Allow to post unfiltered HTML in Topics/Replies It is related to this issue?

bbpress 2.3.1, buddypress 1.7.1, wp 3.5.1 —-> theme on subsite p2 version 1.4.3 (tried twenty twelve same result)

On non-main blogs in my local multisite installation the bbpress widgets appear in the widgets admin area but do not to function (with the exception of stats,search, and login) or appear at all when put into the sidebar.

Appreciate that it could be down to my installation, however if anyone else has come across this i would be glad to know.

@greenshady Doesn’t that plugin make WordPress groups, not BBPress forum roles? I’m trying to do the same thing too.

Hi,

I am using DAP on my website. I tried to install bbpress 2.3.1 along-with DAP. As I installed bbpress, it takes me to an error page saying “You don’t have permissions to access this page”. Though I logged in as superadmin. I tried deactivating all my plugins. I checked the htaccess file as well but there is only the default code for permalinks. But nothing is working.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Sachin

Hello

I have the same problem also with the default theme. @johnjamesjacoby you can see an example here:

http://triangulodelasbermudas.net/editor/forums/topic/prueba-de-paste/

I have detailed in the replies the version of bbpress and you can see the result when copy from any web and paste to publish. The same problem when you apply any format like bold, italic…

The reply created with bbpress 2.3.1 is with the visual editor activated via adding the code to theme functions.php:

function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

With bbpress 2.2.4 all works fine.

Important Upgrade Notice: Version 2.0.0 only for bbPress 2.3 or higher!

Download the plugin from here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-search-widget/

Version 2.0.0 of this plugin was released recently, and it has the requirement of bbPress 2.3 or higher in order to work! That’s because bbPress 2.3+ comes with built-in search functionality.

My plugin now builds on top of that and this brings the end to theme & template issues for the search results, finally!
The plugin’s widget is now like an extended version of the regular search widget – you get up to 13 options for the widget and/ or search form – which are really cool, not only for support forums 🙂

Also, now there’s an additional SHORTCODE with a bbPress search form! You can add this Shortcode anywhere Shortcodes are supported. See FAQ for parameters and usage examples.

Further, a new feature I am really, really proud of, is a new Widgetized Content Area for “Not found” forum search results. This means you are not shown this lame & tiny “Oh bother…” message any longer but can customize this whole page via widgets! How cool is that? — This is optional! If this additional widget area has active widgets placed in it then it shows them on the frontend, if the area is empty, bbPress default behavior is displayd.

I hope you like the refactoring and the new features.

If you didn’t upgraded yet to bbPress 2.3+ you really should consider it’s worth it!

Thank you all users for using my plugin, for testing it, for all feedback! You guys rock!
–Dave 🙂

Sounds pretty strange. First things I’d do:

• Check which accounts might have moderator/super admin access
• Check trash/spam
• Check access logs, see if someone removed them</lill of>

All of bbPress’s trash/delete actions perform capability checks against the currently logged in user, so it’s impossible for an unauthorized user account to delete content inside of WordPress.

It’s also possible someone deleted all of the forum content without your knowledge, using the “Reset Forum” tool under Admin > Tools > Forums > Reset Forum

[John James Jacoby]

Sounds like you have a javascript error in your theme causing issues. Also, as a keymaster you’re allowed unfiltered HTML, but your regular users have limited access to HTML tags and attributes to prevent them from breaking the layout of your site.

What comes in bbPress 2.3.1 is exactly what we’re running here on bbpress.org.

I recently (on Monday) installed bbpress, and activated it. Right after activating it i got kicked out of my site. I can log in but i get the “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page” message. I logged in with my 2 admin accounts and still couldn’t get to the dashboard area. I deleted the plugin folder for bbpress through ftp but that didn’t do anything ( a note on this, when i go into phpmyadmin i still see entries referring to bbpress. like in with usermeta/wp_capabilites)
I have tried a number of things listed both here and on wordpress but nothing worked.
Does anyone have an idea as to how i can fix this. Please keep in mind i am not a programmer, but any help is greatly appreciated.

Dear smart guys,
I was a happy user of Buddypress with group forum. Recently, something miserable happened and Buddypress discontinued Group Forum which was working fine. Now i have to use this bbpress. It’s okay if it was working. After installed the bbpress plugin, now my forum is a blank page with Edit Post link. I can open forum topic from groups but when i click on Forums link from dashboard, it shows me the blank page. How to see the group forum back? It’s horrible experience. Something great stopped working makes me very disappointed. Could it be my mistake? Any hint will be so much appreciated. Some questions related to this problem seem unanswered. So i’m preparing myself not to get any reply.

Thank you from a desperate dude

[tizmo]

unfortunately, i’ve the same problem. I don’t know what was wrong to continue BP group forum. It was okay. Now it’s retired and i’m stuck with bbpress. When i click on Forums link, it shows me a blank page with Edit Post link. Why people stop thing that just works? Is it a bottleneck of using open source sotfware?

[deboerdave]

i am having a problem with the automatically generated links that are suppose to bring you back to the above level pages. when i go into a forum you see the drill down location twice. Once on the line before the forum name and once on the line after the forum name. The first occurrence has the word “forum” in between the the home link and current forum and tries to go to http://www.lbpunderground.com/forums/forum/ were you encounter 404 error. the second version with forums works and leads to http://www.lbpunderground.com/forums/ as it should.
below is example of structure of how it is showing up with some comments added:

Home › Forum › first (“forum” here leads to broken page 404)
first (forum title)
Home › Forums › first (“forums” leads to the correct forum directory)

here is the page the above is taken from: http://www.lbpunderground.com/forums/forum/first/

another similar problem is when you go down into a topic the first line. now has “Topic” as the location between home and the current location on the first line. Again on the 3rd line the the drill down location is correct and functional. In the first line the link “Topic” leads to error 404 also.

Home › Topic › another test (topic leads to 404 error)
another test (topic title)
Home › Forums › category 1 › cat1 forum1 › another test (working drill down links)

the above example is taken from the page: http://www.lbpunderground.com/forums/topic/another-test/

ideally i would like help to remove the first set of links, as their logic is not as ideal as the second set even if they are working properly. Or just a solution to fix them to work properly. But really i am not sure why the first set is there.

here is a description of my setup:
wordpress: Version 3.5.1
bbpress: Version 2.3.1
buddypress: Version 1.7.1
wordpress theme: responsive

The “Visual mode” of the fancy editor is cumbersome and was causing issues for many users, so it was removed in bbPress 2.3.1.

You can turn it back on with this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

[redkite]

I’m using WordPress 3.5.1 and bbPress 2.3.1. My site is here (forums are restricted but I created one sample one that isn’t):

http://www.redkitecreative.com/dev/ivas/forums/forum/sample-forum-for-checking-fancy-editor/

I have ‘Use the fancy WordPress editor to create and edit topics and replies’ enabled, but the fancy editor never appears, not even for logged-in site admins. I tested it with three user levels. I tried switching to Twenty Twelve but it made no difference.

I’m using TinyMCE Advanced on this site, I tried disabling it but the fancy editor is still not appearing. Please help.

[Jared Atchison]

Thanks for reporting. Looks like it is indeed a bug. Hopefully we can get a fix in 2.3.2.

Figured out what my problem was: All in one SEO plugin conflict 🙁 I remember they recently upgraded and so did I. If I deactivate the plugin I get all the bbPress admin menus up. Also found this thread (scroll to the last part) https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/lost-permissions-for-administrator/ for more info.

Hello

I’m migrating from ning and to save my data I have to use an importer that only works with old versions. I am working with buddypress 1.2.10 to import my forums.

Once I finish the import process, how can I migrate my buddypress group forums to bbpress sitewide in bbpress 2.3?

I have found info about how to migrate from buddypress legacy groups to the new buddypress groups powered by bbpress, but not to sitewide forums!

There is any way?

Thanks

[nickmartin]

Just noticed it also seems to install the bbPress widget on my admin frontpage, and if I try to click on one of the categories I get “Hey, Are you trying to cheat?”

I was just able to install bbPress on another fairly new WP install of mine, so it seems like it’s this WP install that is bugging me.

I am using the latest WP 3.5.1 and all themes/plugins are up2date.
I am using latest Arras theme 1.5.1.2.

Here is a list of the active plugins I have running:

Akismet
All In One SEO Pack
Associated Posts Lite
bbPress
Fast Secure Contact Form
GD Star Rating
Google Analytics for WordPress
Google XML Sitemaps
Quick Page/Post Redirect Plugin
Redirection
Simple Local Avatars
Smart Youtube PRO
WordPress Backup to Dropbox
WordPress Related Posts
WP eMember
WP No Category Base – WPML compatible
WPtouch

Hoping someone has an idea as I would LOVE to try our bbPress for my main site.

Thanks!

[nickmartin]

I am not using Buddy Press only the BBpress forum plugin.

Also, after I have deactivated –> deleted the plugin the theme colors revert back to the old ones. As soon as I try to install and activate again, it remembers the theme color settings and changes it back to the green (but still no menu and same no access notification).

Also, after I deactivate –> delete the plugin, I still see the keymaster category in my WP users page, but there is no forum column in the members list.

Is there any way I can completely remove every trace of bbPress from my WP install?

Thanks, really frustrated 🙁

[nickmartin]

Ugh I wanted to install BBpress on my main website and as soon as I click “activate” after the plugin has installed I get the “You don’t have permission to access the page” notification.

I’ve tried uninstalling/installing countless times and tried to see what happens on my site when I click activate.

So after I get the insufficient access message, I go back and try to activate again. This time it works, but I don’t get any admin menus, and no tools options.

I do however get the forum keymaster role field in my WP users interace, and I can also change the theme of the admin to the green colors.

No matter what I try I cannot get the thing to work 🙁 Anyone else have these issues?
