I recently integrated the bbpress forum plugin on my website, and it is producing an unnecessarily long permalink structure: http://www.logos-think.com/forums/forum/christian-forum/

Any ideas as how to shorten this to just ../christian-forum/?

How I got it working was to set the Forum Role for all existing users (non-admin) to ‘Participant’. I did this in Dashboard > Users > All Users, then found the users that had no forum roles. Once I changed these users to ‘Participant’ they were then able to post again.

To automate this process, I set ‘Participant’ as the default forum role for users. I did this in Settings > Forums
“Default user role”: Participant
“Auto role”: (tick) Automatically assign default role to new, registered users upon visiting the site.

However I think this problem may have been fixed in the latest bbPress

I tried upgrading but I’m experiencing some really strange issues. First of all, there is no longer an “Edit” admin link so I can’t test that the issue still exists. Was this the solution?

Secondly, I’m having a really weird problem with my styles after the upgrade. I think the framework is choking somewhere during the request but no errors are displayed. It looks like many of my bbpress-related styles are not being applied.

If I turn on debug mode, the problem goes away and everything displays as normal. But as soon as I turn it off again, it gets screwed up somewhere. Weird!

I know my stylesheet is being loaded and some of the styles are being applied properly, but some aren’t and the one’s that aren’t don’t even show up in firebug with a line through the middle saying they’ve been overridden, they just aren’t appearing at all. I’ve never seen anything like this before.

I’ve tried disabling all other plugins, no luck. Any idea what’s going on here.

Hi all,

I am not quite sure which forum to post this in as I am new to using BBPress for my wordpress installations. I am trying to customize my BBPress installation with the avatar display. I would like to have the avatars only show for the posts inside the topic. They are currently showing up on the forum index, etc. and I am having trouble trying to track down where in the .php files these settings may be located. Can anyone give me some help? I’m looking to just turn these off if possible.

I have posted some photos linking illustrating what i am talking about.

BBPress

bbpress 2.3
Wordpress 3.5.1
Theme is Pure from Themeloom

I have a fresh install of bbpress/buddypress setup. I have created groups and group forums with buddypress.

I then took an existing phpbb3 install, flattened out the structure so all the forums are on one level, and imported them successfully into my new bbpress/buddypress setup.

Now, I’d like start mass moving some of those imported forums into existing group forums. I was looking at the “postmeta” table and I see the post_id, meta_key, and meta_value … where I see bbp_forum_id, I identified the appropriate IDs of each forum and did a mass update on the table to swap out IDs. However, that didn’t work … any idea what else I’m missing here?

here  is another site I have where it works

http://www.andersen-monge.com/forum/

 

I would like to find out whats the problem with the first site cause thats the site where I need a forum

[felixpage]

I have tested with Twenty Eleven and Twenty Twelve and It doesn’t work. There is no topics and forums count (it shows 0).

[Automoglow]

I am still unable to get bbpress to work, it is not showing any forum that I input in the admin area.

My bbpress site, running old 1.0.3, has a email notification plug-in that was cobbled together from the following two plug-ins:
* http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-notification/ by Thomas Klaiber
* http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/moderator-new-post-notification/ by finalwebsites

It looks like those may be so old that they aren’t even available anymore.

Anyways, we have a significant performance problem that is causing ‘bb_new_post’ to timeout. During ‘bb_new_post’, a SMTP call is made using class.mailer-smtp.php for EACH user subscribed to be notified, sequentially.

Since we have thousands of users (hundreds with subscriptions), this synchronous approach causes the new post to timeout and apache returns a 500, it just takes too long.

Someone else has to have already solved the performance problem of sending 100’s of emails for each new post, without it timing out. Any advice? Pointer to a plug-in that already does this? thanks!

I can confirm that the fix identified by @premitheme for MAMP (free) installations is to switch over to port 80. You may also need to update the WordPress and site address under General Settings if 8888 is part of your previous installation.

Hi, I just updated to bbPress 2.3 and all of the admin menu items completely vanished. The following menu items are suddenly missing after upgrading to bbPress 2.3 and making no other changes whatsoever:

Forums
Topics
Replies

..all are missing after updating to 2.3, so I had to roll back to 2.2.4, and they once again are displaying normally.

Additionally, I also noticed that the “Edit” link was missing from all forum posts, even though I was logged in as Admin. Rollback to 2.2.4 resolved this issue as well.

I hope this helps in some way, sorry I don’t have time to troubleshoot further.. already spent WAAAYY too much time on what should have been a simple update. So this is just an FYI, hopefully it helps.

I am using bbpress 2.3 and I am struggling to add items to the navigation menu. I had this working at one point through a combinations of edits to the functions.php and filters.php files, but I have lost these edits and forget exactly how to inject new menu items. Specifically, I am adding links to the profile for logged in users, links to specific forums as well as login/logout buttons as appropriate. Can anyone help me! Thanks!

[Unsal Korkmaz]

Going from scratch. This is became a super intelligent system that supports custom filter system, currency system that automatically updates daily from The European Central Bank, geolocation with location-taxonomy support etc.. Those are fully built on FirmaSite which have infinite design possibilities with custom Bootstrap skins. Plus there will be premium slide effects from Lush Content Slider that i talked with its author and he allowed me to do 🙂 With ShowCase system, i can add lots of premium slider system with ultra-easy usage for clients

@netweb and @johnjamesjacoby using the following environment:

MAMP 2.1.1
PHP 5.4.4

I’m not using the Pro version.

(in regards to the “Are you sure…” error message issue)

[Sami Keijonen]

We have permalink to reply for example like this #1625. Now the link return 404 because link is like ../1625-revision-v1/#post-1625. This is on bbPRess 1.3 and WP 1.6 beta.

[Erlend]

He he well good luck indeed! Are you doing all of the real estate functionality from scratch or will you be building the theme to support a plugin like WP Property?

2 weeks is fine, that’ll give me time to work more on mockups and such.

[Unsal Korkmaz]

I am working on my first premium theme based on FirmaSite for Envato’s most wanted. I am in a bit hurry for being in first 15 theme so i cant take extra job in this 2 weeks. If you are not in hurry, I will probably finish it in 2 weeks and can help you after that. Wish me luck 😀

(P.S: i did some incredible theme options system on theme customizer 😀 )

Hi,

I have many questions before migrating from phpbb to bbpress.
My forum for educators is very popular, and I need to have information before trying to move from phpbb to bbpress.

1. can more than 110 000 users be imported
2. My website runs a specific version of phpbb SEO for allowing permalinks for every forum – will this be imported ? (so that there is not a lot of redirect)
3. My website stores custom profile fields for every user (more than just ICQ, but also custom ones). How could I have the same kind of functionalities using bbpress ?
4. What about performance – will it be better than phpbb. I know bbpress is very powerful for small forums, but I have no idea regarding huge ones. Can wp caching plugins work for bbpress as well ?
5. Is the entire UI translated in French – it doesn’t seem to me, but maybe I’m wrong.
6. Can I use any plugins writter for wp for bbpress ?

Thanks for your help,
Benjamin

I looked into the child theme route but couldn’t quite achieve what I was after on my own. Are you interested in some freelance work? You can send an e-mail to contact at jmonkeyengine.org if you’re interested.

I have another (small this time) tweak inquiry for ya as well: How can I make the forum always 1-column? I’m talking about the way you move the right-side profile section centered above the post content on narrow screens. I’d like that to be the case even on wider displays.

[Josep Jordana]

Any other have this problem? it works with 2.2.x

Word Press 3.5.1

bbPress 2.3

We’ll be checking out those improvements to code posting now.

Unfortunately this is still an issue, and I’ve reopened the relevant ticket:

i used this debugging code:

`ini_set(‘display_errors’, ‘On’);
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);`

[clickmac]

when i insert the debugging code

i get these errors:

awesome! i have finally found the file with that function in it
but when i check the file for php code errors i get

`There is 1 array declaration that contain a single equal sign ‘=’ instead of ‘=>’:
array(), $cap = ”, $user_id = 0, $args = array() ) { switch ( $cap ) { case ‘spectate’ : case ‘participate’ : case ‘moderate’ : if ( bbp_is_user_inactive( $user_id ) ) { $caps = array( ‘do_not_allow’ );`

i did not alter the file in no way, i was about to insert the debugging code, so i said i would check the file for php code arrors…
the name of the file is “Edit capabilities.php”

[Manny Fleurmond]

Thank you for the thread as I was running into the same issues. This really needs to be stickied cause I think a lot of people who use that plugin will run into this
