At the first I’m sorry about my English… 🙁
Once I updated to 2.3, the admin menus for Forums, Topics, and Replies disappeared from the administration.
Before upgrade all works fine!
I can not answer the questions of my users now …

Does anyone else having this problem?

Thank You in advance!

I totally agree, this is a much needed function and is included in the majority of forums software. I am constantly asked for this and I cannot do anything about it. I really hope this ships with bbpress2 in the near future and I hope that developers of this great software take my request and the OP’s request to heart. The proof is in the pudding so to speak, if you look at the votes on this page you will see most people voting for BBPM to be updated for bbpress http://nightgunner5.wordpress.com/2011/03/12/bbpm-plugin-plugin/

this is a necessary update we all need.

Hello.

I am having the same problem. Forums appear on my site at this link http://www.enlightentogether.com/forums

But when clicking further there is a blank page. I added a topic which I am able to see when I insert the shortcode in a page so the problem may be the theme? I have heard other users say insert a shortcode into pages so the forum works properly but I am completely clueless on how to do this.

Do you know of any video tutorials relating specifically to inserting shortcodes for forums or articles? I have seen tutorials for inserting shortcodes for all kinds of things but not bbpress.

Hi Guys,

I have created (registred) a new sidebar named it ” forum “.
I went to : plugins\bbpress\templates\default\extras and edited this: into this :

But it’s still showing the sidebar of the default wordpress pages.
am I editing the right files?

Thanks for your help.

I’m setting up a new site running bbpress with buddypress. I’ve managed to import over 5000 users and about 100,000 topics/replies (e107 > SMF > phpBB > bbpress … whew!)

Working on cleaning up some details and I’m wondering if there is a consensus on what is the optimal permalink structure for a site like this that will have a lot of user posts.

I’m leaning toward the “Day and name” setting:
`http://www mywebsite com/2013/04/21/sample-post/`
Just because it’s a forum based website and it might make sense to help with chronology.

It doesn’t seem to me like this setting would be all that important… but, you never know… so that’s why I’m asking 🙂

When i have bbPress 2.3 enabled i get this error in my feeds:
Warning: Illegal offset type in /home/XXXXX/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php on line 1503

I am using WP 3.5.2 and have tested without any plugins enabled, as soon as i enable bbPress 2.3 the error appears.

My site is at http://www.arctic-websolutions.com

Is it possible that because i use an array to call several posttypes for my feeds this conflicts with bbPress 2.3, any idea?

Thanks

[Scott Wyden Kivowitz]

@webheadllc still happening for you?

[Zeokat]

I instaled bbPress 2.3 on WordPress 3.5.1 but the forum urls are not found.

In the other hand i cant find any bb-press config file anywhere, where is bb-press config file?

Thanks @perineo

incompatibility with bbPress Threaded Replies

this functionality are added to the core

problem solved 😉

[Corinthian72]

I’m trying to get current forum id in header.php file of my theme with function bbp_get_forum_id(), but it always returns empty result.

What am I doing wrong?

P.S. I’m using bbPress 2.3 plugin installed on latest version of WordPress.

[ovizii]

Haven’t found anything quite similar to this plugin and I know its old, I think it has even been removed from the repository. Anyway, will need to find a similar one now 🙂

[kraigg]

I think you’re right about the dynamic capabilities in bbPress, but I’ve had weird situations where I’ve changed a capability in WordPress and it affects bbPress functionality (eg https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/topics-are-invisible-for-all-users-except-for-admin/#post-124896)

Good to hear you’ve found the culprit. It is quite an old plugin (over 3 years old), so it would’ve been compatible with an older version of WordPress, and most likely some of its functions have been deprecated since. Are you able to find an alternate but similar plugin?

[ovizii]

hm, thx for the feedback, so I did this:

– all plugins off except bbpress and User Role Editor: posting worked. so now I am re-activating all plugins one-by-one to find the culprit.

The culprit is: WP Easy Uploader

http://chrisjean.com/wordpress-plugins/wp-easy-uploader/ very old but useful plugin.

btw. User Role Editor cannot edit bbpress roles as I understand they are dynamic? Not 100% about that statement but haven’t found a way to edit them.

[kraigg]

@ovizii

It could be one of your plugins that is blocking regular users from posting. I had a similar problem last month and I thought it was a bbPress problem, but it turned out to be another plugin.

If you have a production version of your website, try to deactivate all of our plugins except bbPress and User Role Editor. Also try to switch back to the default theme, just to confirm that it’s not something in your functions.php that is causing problems. What version of bbPress and WordPress are you using?

The other thing to try is to use User Role Editor to add capabilities to your Participant role, and keep adding until it fixes the posting issue. Then at least you’ll be able to pinpoint the capability that is causing the problem. But first make sure to create a backup of the Participant role so you can revert back to it.

Hello mralexweber, did you manage to get Wishlist and bbPress working?

[ovizii]

I’ve set my users to about every possible bbpress AND wordpress role and only if they are a key master can they post/reply.

HELP!

[Rachel Biel]

I need help making a couple of changes in how my forum looks.  I’m using a Parallelus theme (Salutation) and they have not updated their theme yet to the latest buddy/bbPress changes.  I asked for help on their forum (as to the styling) and they said that the theme just uses the basic bbPress layout.  I’m using bbPress 2.3, Buddypress 1.7.

Here is how the forum is laid out: http://www.tafaforum.com/user-groups/dyes/

I want the title of the discussion to basically change places and size with the text underneath it describing the topic and where the forum is.  I can barely see what the forum name is and if we have an avatar, we sure don’t need a big name in bold.

I would assume that the same changes would affect the Activity Streams: http://www.tafaforum.com/activity-streams/

Here’s the catch: please spell it out for someone who can’t code.  I wish there were a plugin that I could use or shortcode…  Is this something that I will have to change everytime there is an update with the theme?

Well, hopefully someone can point me to a permanent solution as this one is far from useful.  Thanks!

Can anyone provide some guidance on how to implement bbPress in the iThemes Andrina theme.
Wordpress version 3.5.1
bbPress version 2.3
Andrina theme vesrsion 3.2.2

I activated bbPress and created Forums and Topics but I do not see how to implement it in the same manner as the demonstrations that I have seen on the twenty eleven theme and others.

Thank You

[GamerPerfection]

I hope this is the right place to ask.

I am moving away from vBulletin (yay) and on to WordPress.
Currently I have vBulletin 4.2.0 which includes forum and CMS.

When I move to WordPress I will not be using bbPress (at least for now).

Is it still possible for me to export my vB users and import to WordPress 3.5.1 if i’m not using bbPress? And if so, is it easy to do?

Thanks.

Hi, I have a custom code that I use in the template loop-single-topic.php that show the current status of the topic:
http://pastebin.com/UaNkLNQs

I use this code after this part:

http://pastebin.com/27U1BRdE

How I can make this a plugin to simply add this content to bbpress without the need of editing the file?

Thanks

[webheadcoder]

How would I assign the super admin the Keymaster role? I don’t see the option in the profile screen. My super admin currently does not have the Forums tab in the menu since upgrading to 2.3 and i think it’s because I don’t have the keymaster role. (on the user list screen the Forums role is blank).

[kannued]

Okay, I had to add shortcode bbp-topic-index to my index.php which brought the front page back to the way it was before the update of bbpress2.3. Why would this happen? I shouldn’t have to make coding changes every time there is an updated bbpress plugin. I never had to re-code after an update before.

[kannued]

I guess it is NOT the latest posts, which is wp, but the lasts topics of bbpress that used to be listed instead of the forum summary page.

[kriskl]

sorry to bump this..

I guess the award was small? I thought it would be easy thing to do for someone who knows bbpress code very well…

but I think it is very important feature

 

users coming from other forums  are lost using bbpress forums..

and after migrating from buddy press forums to bbpress –  the usage of bbpress forums dropped by 50%  🙁

I mean, in new topics….. therefore I suspect users can’t find the button.. / link

I have created a new page > start a new topic and the link is even in the main menu.. but still it is not good enough unfortunately..

 

 

 

[kriskl]

I may have found the reason for pending posts..

there were certain words in wordpress (comments) black listed, and I think it has prevented also bbpress new topic/replies being posted automatically
