To anyone having issues with Permissions, I found that if I turned off the plugin “All in One SEO Pack” all my settings returned.

Regardless seems like there is a bug.

It was mentioned here by Arturo: https://bbpress.org/blog/2013/04/bbpress-2-3-1-bug-fix-release/

I don’t think the problem has to do with other plugins. It has to do with bbPress having made roles for the forums a separate thing. Look at your users page… on the right there is a “Forum Role” column. If it’s blank then that’s where your issue is. It needs to have “Keymaster”, “Moderator”, “Participant”, etc.

For a quick fix, in Tools > Forums, you can select the checkbox for “Remap existing users to default forum roles”. If you have a lot of moderators/users, be careful. For me, it assigned all the admins to Keymaster, the moderators (bbPress used to have the role “Moderator” alongside the other WP roles) to Moderator, and everyone else to Participant.

Get your users assigned to forum roles and the admin menus will show up for them (and you!). Only an admin can change a forum role, but they cannot change their own.

I would like to see an option on the settings page to turn on the visual editor instead of fidgeting around with placing code somewhere…

Good version, but it break some tiny things in posting unfiltered HTML and codes snippets, I wish to see bbPress 2.3.2 soon

Same thing here, for example when trying to add class name for pre tag it breaks.

I was having the same issue, it was Members plugin by Justin Tadlock that fixed the problem. I had it activated previously to fix a role permission, I’m guessing bbPress updated roles or something, once I added them and clicked save and refreshed the forum admin menu displayed.

I’d suggest doing the same if you have any role manager type plugins installed and experience this issue.

[TrishaM]

OK I think I’m ready to move forward……

I now have a (temporary) database set up into which I’ve imported ONLY the bbPress tables:
bb_forums
bb_meta
bb_posts
bb_tagged
bb_tags
bb_term_relationships
bb_term_taxonomy
bb_terms
bb_topicmeta
bb_topics

AND I have another (temporary) database into which I imported ONLY the WordPress tables:
wp_commentmeta
wp_comments
wp_links
wp_options
wp_postmeta
wp_posts
wp_term_relationships
wp_term_taxonomy
wp_terms
wp_usermeta
wp_users

In theory I could change out the database called in my wp-config.php file to this second database and my site would be just the same as it is now, minus the Forum which isn’t working anyway.

I did NOT export the wp_bbp_converter_translator to anywhere since it sounds like that’s part of the problem….

SO what’s next? Do I try the Tools>Forums>Import Forum again? OR should I switch to the newer, no-bbPress database and then import the forum from the existing (or backup) database? Although it seems straightforward my prior experience has me cautious and I’d rather have some expert guidance before I try anything else yet….

OK, suspect i’m just being thick here.

I am running bbpress 2.2.4 as a plugion on wordpress 3.5.1

http://www.gospbc.co.uk

When I click a users avataor or username I get a profile page like this :

How do I tweak this to display other info that the user has entered, such as location, name, etc.?

There’s lots of talk on the fourm about adding extra fields to registration or removing things such as URLS, but this seems to assume that people are seeing much more than I am on the profle page !

Help with what files to edit, or just what i need to do would be much appreciated !

Good version, but it break some tiny things in posting unfiltered HTML and codes snippets, I wish to see bbPress 2.3.2 soon 🙂

I wonder why you didn’t give us some time to test Changeset 4867 ?!

[Onyeka Aghanenu]

I’m having this problem as well. I want to use the BBPress breadcrumb on Forum pages, and Yoast everywhere else, but I can’t get the bbpress crums to work unless i disable it completely.

[Arturo]

found the problem… All in One Seo Pack, is the problem, disabling this plugin bbPress work ok without problem.
Opened a support topic on plugin’s wporg forum

[Lynq]

I like bbPress it’s awesome. Like most open source software I like to get stuck in and break stuff then fix it, you learn a loads from doing that.

I agree phpbb and some others are easier options in certain areas, but the integration with wordpress is amazing.

Good luck with your forums 🙂

[Arturo]

another problem, if i try to reply to any topic i see the massage “Don’t have the permission to do that”

[Arturo]

i’ve disabled and reactivated the bbPress plugin and now if i try to access the about, configuration etc i see the page with “you need autorization to access this page” i’m the administrator role on WP… and Keymaster on bbPress.

WP 3.5.1 – BP 1.7 and bbPress 2.3.1

how can i fix this?

[mt78]

– bbPress 2.3.1 – WP 3.5.1 – Buddypress 1.7 –
When you change the FORUM ROLE any user via forum, then in the WordPress administration is forum rule unchanged, even though the user already has rights moderator or administrator. Can you change the forum role of the user via WordPress administration or not?

I tried to change the user role of the participant to moderator in the WordPress administration and nothing happened. I tried to change the role through the forum and role has changed, but the administration remained WordPress original role. Is this normal?

[jason102178]

@Sambora5150 yeah i use phpbb for my standalone forum but wanted somthin i could integrate in my blog and thought bbpress would be the best, wrong, lol theirs no support here, at phpbb they always answer within like 6 hrs.

[Sambora5150]

@jason102178 totally agree i have been using bbpress for a while…finally moved to a real forum… simplepress…

Hello, This post is ranking high on google for my site. http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-layout-is-messed-up/ I obviously do not want this to rank at all — let alone above my other articles. Can you either delete the topic or please edit out my site name asap.

Thank you,

@johnjamesjacoby
I think he meant the changelog at the WP Plugin Directory because that hasn’t been updated yet.

[Kaenim]

Edit – Sorry, the latter error was because I missed part of my functions.php code to comment out. Editing accordingly.

I’ve been using the following code, originally found in my functions.php to change “Key Master” to “Administrator”:`function my_custom_roles( $role, $user_id, $user_role ) {
if( $role == ‘Key Master’ )
return ‘Administrator’;

return $role;
}

add_filter( ‘bbp_get_user_display_role’, ‘my_custom_roles’, 10, 3 );`

Which returns the error: “Warning: Missing argument 3 for my_custom_roles() in /home/kaenim/public_html/test/wp-content/themes/bsky/functions.php on line 216” above my avatar.

Does anyone know what this “argument 3” is, or how I could modify this code to work in 2.3.1? I’d ask in the original discussion, but it’s several months old and to be honest, I’m simply not aware of what bbPress’ forum policy is regarding reviving old topics; I figured making a new topic would be best.

Fixed my forum (but not solved).
— ALERT MAY DAMAGE YOUR FORUMS —

What I did:
1) deactivate plugin + delete plugin
2) manually installed older version from SVN (https://bbpress.svn.wordpress.org/branches/2.2/)
3) export forum data (from Tools)
4) reset forum plugin
5) update plugin through standard plugin process
6) installed wordpress import plugin
7) imported forum data

[Arturo]

i’ve pasted in functions.php the code in the codex page to re-activate the editor and i’ve this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE

any help for this?

Thanks!

It will be fine, but you’ll likely want to avoid having private or hidden forums. bbPress performs a postmeta query to exclude topics and replies from private and hidden forums, which will be a pretty bad bottleneck.

Hopefully in bbPress 2.4 or 2.5, I’d like to move the last-active-time meta queries to use post_modified in the posts table. That will remove some of our dependency on JOINing tables, and speed things up for you pretty significantly (at the cost of bastardizing the core post schema and its intentions a bit.)

If you have other specific questions as you go, happy to help and be a resource.

Well, I can’t see that “Forums”.. I can’t see any settings.. nothing.

All I can see is: You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.
Url is: /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress

[John James Jacoby]

We turned off the visual editor in 2.3.1 because of issues users were having losing formatting when switching between visual and HTML modes.

We put up a snippet with the 2.3.1 release to re-enable it.
