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.

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.

Please see the documentation for Using bbPress in Your Language to see how you can supply your own files: https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/
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?

Thanks for your help!
Hi there,
Thanks in Advance…
I’m facing a problem that the topics are not displaying in forum. I use WordPress + Genesis Framework + bbPress + Genesis bbpress Extend (plugin).. What to do?
Ok I recreated this issue with Twenty Twelve theme.
I copied archive.php and renamed it archive-topic.php. I copied content-page.php and rename it content-topic.php. And I get what I want in url domain.com/topics. Here is screenshot, normal archive “page” with topic title/content using bbPress 2.2.4.

Then I update to version 2.3 and this is end result. No loop, no topic content.

I’m on WP 3.6-beta1-23997.
Hi All,
I am working on bbpress on my new site, so it works together with buddypress. But I really hate the way the url structure looks on the forum.
now it’s forums/forum/test and I changed that already to forum/subject
But now when I look at a topic, it’s /topic/post instead of forum/subject/post.
Any way to fix this? I did find some guys talk about a nicer permalinks plugin, but when I click that link I keep getting back to a post about it on this forum…
I got the latest install of wordpress, buddypress bbpress
From the sticky on the upgrade put the following into your CSS
`.bbp-search-form {
display:none !important;
}`
Apologies for the late reply but a severe case of the flu has kept me from thinking 😉
Firstly @clicknathan the bbconverter plugin has not been updated in a long time and is what the actual included converter with bbPress 2.x is based upon and indeed if you keep importing on top of imports you are going to have issues.
@trisham I cannot come up with a specific SQL query for you to delete the duplicates, ideally what you want to do is open phpMyAdmin and find the post ID’s of your imports.
i.e. Find the ‘first’ and ‘last’ post ID from your first import and then find the ‘first’ and ‘last’ post ID from your second import.
`SELECT * FROM ‘wp_posts’ WHERE ‘post_type’ LIKE ‘forum’`
`SELECT * FROM ‘wp_posts’ WHERE ‘post_type’ LIKE ‘topic’`
`SELECT * FROM ‘wp_posts’ WHERE ‘post_type’ LIKE ‘reply’`
The above queries you should see you started to see the post ‘ID’ for the duplicates and I would expect to find them in a numerical order by post ‘ID’ and this starts to build you a range of post ‘ID’ that you will want to delete.
You may find that the range of post ID’s are eg. 2650 – 5299 that are the duplicates that you need to remove and this SQL query highlights those posts `SELECT * FROM ‘wp_posts’ WHERE ID BETWEEN 2650 AND 5299 ` and this query `SELECT * FROM ‘wp_postmeta’ WHERE post_id BETWEEN 2650 AND 5299 ` finds the same posts in `wp_postmeta`
Once you have confirmed the post ID’s for your duplicates with the queries above and you are confident you have the correct ID’s you grab those SQL statements eg. `SELECT * FROM ‘wp_posts’ WHERE ID BETWEEN 2650 AND 5299 ` and `SELECT * FROM ‘wp_postmeta’ WHERE post_id BETWEEN 2650 AND 5299 ` and change the `SELECT * ` to `DELETE` for both of those queries to remove the posts from `wp_posts` & `wp_postmeta` tables.
I hope this makes some kind of sense and if you have any questions please ask away.
Yes naturally. But I don’t want to spend your time before I know is it theme issue or not. As you said if it’s working for you, it’s hardly a bbPress bug.
Looking to solve the same issue 🙂
