Posts aren’t “moved” between installations or versions. In fact, from any 2.2 to 2.3, there are no changes to the database at all.

@realhood What do you have set for each of these ‘Single Slugs’?

[ehong33234]

I am running the latest BBPress 2.3 and I don’t see any link for the user to be able to update their profile (i.e. avatar, signature, password, etc.). So, I want to be able to put a hyperlink in the menu or somewhere else on my wordpress site that allows the user to access this page. I have found it to reside in http://www.domain.com/forums/users/nameofuser

The problem is, I can’t figure out a way to call out the username in the url. I tried http://www.domain.com/forums/users/%s and that didn’t work. I am using permalinks and tried http://www.domain.com/forums/users/%username%/ and still nothing.

Someone please help, thank you!

[Millen]

I got the same issue as well. will the fix take long to get out?

@jezza101 “Can I control which stats are shown? For example “empty tags” isn’t something I really want to boast about on my forum!”

‘Empty Tags’ are ONLY shown if you actually have empty topic tags… Essentially that is giving you a hint that you have topic tags with no associated topics so you can delete those empty topic tags.

@netweb

What do you have your permalinks set to? (‘Settings’ -> ‘Permalinks’)

http://127.0.0.1/%post_id%.html

What is the ‘Search Slug’ for bbPress set to? (‘Settings’ -> ‘Forums’ )

 using it→no issues (i don’t know why ,but it works)

not using  →issues

Currently a ‘Participant’ cannot delete their own posts as per https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

See this thread on customizing your roles https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/add-forum-roles/

This issue sounds semi-related to  related to ticket #1478, which was fixed in 2.3.

Upgrade to 2.3 (backup first!) and see if that fixes things.

[Jared Atchison]

What version of bbPress are you using?

[Jared Atchison]

I just tested a fresh install of bbP 2.3 and WP 3.6 trunk on MAMP Pro and can’t replicate any issues.

[Stephen Edgar]

You should see an ‘IMG’ link or Picture icon on your editor toolbar for adding links to images with bbPress 2.3.

Improved mobile support is planned for bbPress 2.4 https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1933

[Stephen Edgar]

Do you use the bbPress Moderation plugin ?

Edit: I am quite sure you are using this plugin now, please disable it for now and everything should be fine. I asked the author about bbPress 2.3 compat ~2 months ago but we have not heard back from the plugin author.

[Stephen Edgar]

Can you give us a link to your forum so we can have a closer look please.

[Stephen Edgar]

@probablynot & @jezza101 Will hunt around and see what we can do about having a simple way to turn ‘search’ off. 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

@docchewbacca There is no fixed timeline for ‘individual access rights’ forum permissions and all that goes with that feature and what is planned for bbPress 2.4 is still yet to be 100% decided.

[clickmac]

it seems as though this plugin. 404 simple redirect
does not work correctly with bbpress users,

when a new user decides to click on their profile link. i.e picture or name
to go to their profile, they are redirected to the 404 page

would like to know if their is a exception to this or a quick fix?
and can anyone helpZ! please! urgently!

the link to the plugin site is here:

[Stephen Edgar]

@sadr I get what you are saying regarding search results as excerpts though I think then that if the search term was not in the first ‘x’ words of the excerpt of the topic/reply that would then cause confusion as to how that result is relevant. Maybe create a ticket on trac and discuss it further their might be best option.

[Stephen Edgar]

@premitheme I think, from memory @JohnJamesJacoby uses MAMP Pro so I find this one rather odd 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

@alexiousrahl Search is enabled by default, you should be able to see the search form at the top of your forums list eg. http://example.com/forums/

I have also updated the Shortcodes and Widgets codex pages.

I have installed XAMPP 1.8.1 for Windows and see no issues with ‘localhost’

For those using MAMP, what version are you using?

@netweb I’m using 2.1.4 (the current). As I said the problem doesn’t appear with all localhost environments, I tested “MAMP”, “DesktopServer” (uses XAMPP), “Bitnami MAMP Stack”, live host and Mac OS X built-in localhost. It works with every thing but MAMP and Bitnami. I could say the problem with MAMP, BUT there was no problem with the older versions of bbPress, this makes me thing that the problem is in bbPress, not MAMP.

[Jkum]

I updated from bbpress 2.2.4 to 2.3 an hour ago – only sticky posts have been moved and all other posts are not showing up – What should I do? How to restore my forum? Plz reply ASAP as my forum is almost dead!

[Stephen Edgar]

@realhood I cannot reproduce your issue of ‘why my search function can’t work, when I use it,it always jump to the home page’

I see no issues using or not using the bbPress ‘forums prefix’

http://localhost/search/?bbp_search=test
http://localhost/forums/search/?bbp_search=test
http://example.com/search/?bbp_search=test
http://example.com/forums/search/?bbp_search=test

@hlwinkler Can you try your search ‘OpenEars’ using the Twenty Eleven or Twenty Twelve theme.
