This thread is old so I’m closing it.

Premise, Easy Digital Downloads, WooCommerce (and more) all have the ability (through extensions) to create forums specifically and only for customers. There is no shortage of solutions. Plus you’re not limited to PayPal, unlike the solution posted above.

Instructions to enable the visual editor are here.

As @tbermudas I have also lost the tinyMCE editor on front-end.

I try to go back to version 2.3, but the zip file in WordPress repo for version 2.3 actually contains version 2.3.1. Where can I download version 2.3?

Thanks.

It’s fixed with the 2.2.4 update of Jetpack.

Hello,

I’m thinking to use bbPress for one of my websites that currently have around 500000 topics and 30000 registered users. Does anyone installed it on a large website? Did you had performance issues?

I’m wondering if bbPress does scale.

Thanks,
onebird

Getting the same error. Started from jetpack 2.2.3 beta and now final 2.2.3 is out and still the same issue.

This was an issue before bbpress updated to 2.3.1
So it’s not related to bbpress update, only jetpack changes. But still all other plugins works and only bbpress creates this jetpack warning.

Hi .. I’m fairly new to bbPress and have been trying to get a feel for how it works by creating forums, topics and replies from the admin and front end. I have one problem in that when I try to create a reply to an existing topic in admin, the reply attributes allows me to select a forum but then the topic entry field always stays at 0. Then when I show all topics, the correct forum is displayed but underneath it shows (mismatch) in red.

Also, when I try to create the reply from the front-end, I get the message ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that ?

What am I doing wrong, please ?

Thanks .. Ron

Hi

Is there a time / place location where I can promote extensions that have been written for bbPress (including discount codes?).

Is this the time and place? can anyone suggest an alternative?

[Anonymous User 5853594]

I’m getting a header already sent issue when I’ve got both bbpress 2.3.1 and Jetpack 2.3 activated. The error mentions that Jetpack has already sent the headers or something? (I know next to nothing about how to interpret those things.)

Just updated to jetpack 2.2.3 and just got this message on my site Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /plugins/jetpack/jetpack.php on line 4534 2.2.2 worked ok don’t know what happened after the update! Looks like the new update from bbpress brakes this. Incompatibility issue here. Please give us an update soon!

[Tbermudas]

I have installed the update in my tester site and I have lost the visual editor, also the “Ckeditor for wordpress plugin” seems to be not compatible.

There is no changelog. What’s changed?

[John James Jacoby]

Drop feedback about bbPress 2.3.1 here!

See the 2.3.1 milestone on Trac for changes.

From the blog post:

Also in bbPress 2.3.1, we’ve disabled the use of WordPress’s visual editor (aka TinyMCE.) The HTML editor is still available, and works extremely well. If you want to enable the visual editor again, we’ve added a code snippet to the codex that will turn it back on for you.

Hi, i’m using bbpress and WPML together.
The problem is that when i activate WPML plugin, the admin menu of bbPress disappear.
As soon i deactivate WPML, the bbPress menu appears.

Versions used:
Wordpress 3.5.1
WMPL 2.8.1
bbPress 2.2.4 (tried also 2.3 but the problem still remain)

[TammiMetzler]

Hello,

I recently installed bbPress 2.3 on my WordPress site (version 3.5.1) and when I first tried to activate the plugin, I got a message that says I do not have sufficient permission to access this page. I clicked the back button and tried again, and it activated successfully. However, the Admin buttons didn’t show up on my Dashboard, and “Forums” is not an option in my Settings. I’ve tried removing bbPress completely, both through my WordPress dashboard and my web host’s cPanel, and re-installing to no avail. The only other plugins I activated recently was one for buddypress (which I removed to see if it was the issue) and I also installed a Digital Access Pass membership plugin. I have no idea what else to do to correctly install bbPress; any ideas? Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Tammi

Hi I am using BBpress 2.3 and the last thing I would like to do is remove the authors profile link.

I would still like the Authors name to appear.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks.

OK, in the end I did this:
– created a new ‘create new topic’ page following the instructions here:
– created a link in to the new page the wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-archive-topic.php

[jason102178]

anyone else have this issue?

[jason102178]

I also have tried this method with no avail didnt work

Embedding YouTube and other media clips in 2.1

[jason102178]

WordPress Version: 3.5
BBpress Version: 2.3

I know this question has been asked alot on how to embed video and add youtube videos, I know how to do this by simply posting the link in the topic…. and it will automatically insert the youtube video…

But my problem is i want to have a few video tutorials that i want to insert and the mp3 or mp4 files are located on my server, i dont want to upload them to youtube…

so i was wondering if their was a way to use my own videos, i have already tried inserting the link that points to my server http://mysite.com/video.mp3 and it will not work that way..

So i tried creating a topic from the admin and use the insert media and it did not work that way , then i tried using a plugin to allow jw player shortcode and it did not work that way either… this is one of the plugins i tried using http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress2-shortcode-whitelist/ with no sucess…

Then i tried adding this code to my functions.php

add_filter(‘bbp_reply_content’, ‘jwplayer_tag_callback’);
add_filter(‘entry_content’, ‘jwplayer_tag_callback’);
add_filter(‘bbp-reply-content’, ‘jwplayer_tag_callback’);
add_filter(‘entry-content’, ‘jwplayer_tag_callback’);

this method did not work, it seems almost impossible to add my own video from my server, most the topics are super old 3 to 4 yrs old which really doesnt apply to the latest version of bbpress since so much of the code has changed, if someone could help me out or point me in the right direction i would appreciate it…

I am not trying to let my users be able to use shortcodes as i read they are a security risk and i am not trying to let my users be able to upload or use their own videos from a strange server..

I just want to be able to use my own videos instead of using youtube.

I recently installed bbpress on my site (great plug-in, by the way). I’m currently working out the kinks.

One of my biggest problems is that the search function doesn’t work. See http://www.churchofficehelpdesk.com/test where I’m using the shortcode. I’ve used words that I know are on the site. Not only do they not show up, but “sorry, no results were found appears multiple times on the results page.”

Thanks for any help!

[JeffreySummers]

Just nstalled plugin and activated but when I click on “settings” it takes me here http://shgww.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress which is a blank white page…???

Latest versions of everything.

[bavaughan]

I uninstalled bbpress from a multisite wordpress 3.5.1 installation, but the bbpress roles have stuck around and show up in my admin dashboard. How do I get rid of them? (I do not intend to use bbpress at this time, so I don’t need to save any bbpress settings).

Thanks!

Hello,

I recently upgraded from the old version of bbPress that comes with BuddyPress to the bbPress plugin, and I’m using version 2.3 of the bbPress plugin.

Previously when using BuddyPress and the old version of bbPress, from the topics page (which showed all the topics across all groups), I could see a Create New Topic form at the bottom of the page which would allow me to select a group from the list of groups that are available to me and create a new topic in that group.

Unfortunately, since upgrading to the bbPress plugin, this form is now gone.

I was told that I could add the form back by adding a shortcode to the topics page in my theme, but it’s not clear to me which particular page I need to change. Note that I only want this form to appear on the topics page.

Can anyone help me get this Create New Topic form back?
