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/

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

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?

[Henri Junttila]

My tech guy ran into the same problem and he got it fixed by running Tools > Forums > Repair Forums.

[Melanie_D]

After testing a few times. I deactivated bbPress and BuddyPress. Reset to default user roles. Activated bbPress then BuddyPress, then setup permalink settings for bbPress and everything works great now.

[palmdoc]

I mean all plugins disabled except Buddypress and bbPress.

I’d like to hear from other bbPress/Buddypress users on whether they’ve managed to successfully upgrade from Legacy Group Forums to bbPress.
So far I have not had success, as the end result is a Forums page with Group Forums as the root and an unformatted row of the group forums. There is no forums list with “freshness” despite putting [bbp-forum-index] in the Forums page
The steps I followed closely is in the Buddypress wiki and reproduced with some elaboration here:
http://pastebin.com/snFBxdVp
This was done with all plugins except Buddypress and bbPress installed.

[Melanie_D]

I have this same issue. I reset to the default user roles in WordPress and the bbPress pages are now available, but to deactivate and reactivate the plugin causes the same issue to come back.

[fencer_x]

@julien1975 I’m having the exact same issues… No forums available for access from the admin panel, no “Forums” under tools or settings, absolutely no way to administrate the forums except from the front-end. I can’t deal with replies or topics on a bulk scale either now. REALLY hope this gets resolved soon.

It feels like every time I get bbpress situated, something else breaks…

[fencer_x]

Having the same problem, and it just happened in the past few days. I haven’t added any new plugins or anything–nor have I touched bbpress, so what gives?

All of the Forums options are gone from the sidebar in the admin dash, there’s nothing under tools or settings, absolutely no indication that forums even EXIST–except on the frontend, which works fine.

My username as an admin is also still listed as Keymaster in the Users table, but I receive the “you don’t have sufficient permissions to access this page” when I try to access wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress

Obviously can’t remap anything, and I tried upgrading to 2.3.1, but nothing changed.

[CorpWritingPro]

That sounds like a good solution, but the Tools menu doesn’t have a Forums option. Tools has Available Tools, Import, and Export

[Jared Atchison]

Plugin that will add back the visual tab to the editor: bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab

No code required. Just activate and you’re done.

Hello again,

I’m new to Buddy Press and trying to experiment with a personal site using WordPress 3.5.1 with I the latest version of my theme, DynamiX, which is supposedly BBPress Friendly.

http://thebrotherhoodguild.com

I am trying to create different groups and it looks as though I have but I cannot seem to actually -go into them. When I click on a particular group it just stays on the current group listing page. From the sites I have seen it should take me into that forum and display all the specific posts for that group. I have made sure that each of the groups have content but I cannot seem to successfully link there.

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I’m new to Buddy Press and trying to experiment with a personal site using WordPress 3.5.1

http://thebrotherhoodguild.com

On Chrome Version 26.0.1410.64 m the Register page will not load (Link). Instead, it keeps going back to the root directory. However, on Firefox 18.0.2 it does load. Not sure why this would happen. I am using the latest version of my theme, DynamiX, which is supposedly BBPress Friendly.

I do have a few plugins installed but I have tried deactivating them and still get this issue.

[w4rrenz]

I thought that would be the obvious problem, yeah works fine on TwentyTwelve so looks like the developer will be getting an email. Not confident in getting the reply I’m looking for.

Do you have any posts I can look at to help find the cause per chance?

Thanks for your help

Warren

Copy:

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css

to:

wp-content/themes/[YOUR-THEME]/css/bbpress.css

And that’s all it takes 🙂

bbPress will auto-detect the CSS file in your theme and use that instead of it’s own.

[Jared Atchison]

Hmm, not sure why that would get screwy but it seems to happen.

Try going to Tools > Forums > and checking/running “Remap existing users to default forum roles”.

[Jared Atchison]

This is common when using heavily customized/massive themes or theme frameworks.

Unfortunately for someone like us looking in, it’s really hard to even tell you where to start. There could be 1,001 different things that are causing things to explode under the hood. To top it off we don’t have access to the theme anyways.

The particular theme you are using is _massive_. I’m fairly confident the theme is likely the issue here, but to be sure you should activate TwentyTwelve and see if that fixes the issue. Assuming it does, then you know the problem is indeed with your theme, at which point I’d ping the developer and see if he knows what’s up.

Hi everyone, I searched to see if anyone else had this problem and didn’t find anything that matched exactly, so if the topic DOES exist and I missed it, I do apologize.

I have a site where I installed bbpress back in August of last year. Everything was working fine but the company was not utilizing the forums so they basically sat there un-noticed/unused.

The company has now decided that they are going make a push to their employees to start using them. When I went to look at them today, I noticed that while all of the forums are still there, the topics are gone. At first, when I went into the Admin Dashboard, under the forums, there were counts listed under the “Topics” column but when I went to topics, nothing was there.

I then went and reset the permalinks and still nothing. Ran the forum cleanup tool and then when I went back, the “Topics” column under forums shows all zeros.

There was not a ton of content there and I can re-enter it all, but the concern I have is that of where did they go? I know the client will be asking this and then the obvious follow-up of “will this happen again?”

Any help anyone can give me would be great. Naturally, I would prefer to recover the info if at all possible.

Running the latest version of bbpress (2.3.1).

Thanks,

-marc
