Thanks @perineo
incompatibility with bbPress Threaded Replies
this functionality are added to the core
problem solved 😉
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.
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 🙂
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?
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.
@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?
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!
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
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
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).
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.
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.
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..
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
When I removed the bbpress Moderation, nothing happened.
Thanks for the link on hiding the bbpress search box, Jared.
Now, all I need is to get my latest posts back on my front page.
See this post regarding bbPress Moderation.
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-2-4-to-2-3-created-a-big-problem/
The plugin is currently not compatible with bbPRess 2.3. The author has been notified and is working on a fix, but until then you should deactivate it.
Here is a snippet to hide the bbPress search box.

Previously only the wordpress search was on the page on the left side column. I thought that would be sufficient to search through bbpress posts especially with the plugin that I have, see below. I would like to disable the bbpress search box.
My plugins are bbpress, bbpressmoderation, bbpress topics for posts, en Spam, search bbpress 2.0, and wanguard.
Here is my link. http://www.canadianbookclubs.com/forums2/
Where you see the forum summary section, it used to be the latest posts.
The new search is a bbPress specific search and while the previous one is a WordPress search. Do you want to disable the bbPress one?
Can you provide me with a list of plugins you are using? That is likely the culprit at play here.
And there is a new search box above the new forum summary page. So now I have two search boxes on the page. One that is set by wordpress, and one that has appeared courtesy of the updated bbpress plugin
Is there any way to revert back to the bbpress plugin before this last update?
I updated bbpress. Never had problems with the previous updates. Now, I have the following problems on my front page:
Oh bother! No topics were found here! (why has this appeared? Comes from div id=”bbpress-forums” and div class=”bbp-template-notice”
Even though my front page is checked for latest posts. It is now showing my forum summary page. Why is bbpress plugin superseding the wordpress of only showing latest posts?
I never changed anything in bbpress files.
Whenever a user posts a comment it redirects them back to the very beginning of the conversation instead of letting them continue to read/comment from the current place. There are several pages of comments so its really annoying to have to keep scrolling down again and find where you left off. Can this be fixed?

Specs: I’m using WordPress 3.4.2 and BBPress 2.2.4.
Thanks for your help!
