Once I updated to 2.3, the admin menus for Forums, Topics, and Replies disappeared from the backend. I upgrade across several installs and this happened to all of them, even on the clean install with no other plugins activated.
Anyone else having this issue? and how to resolve?
Thanks,
Alex
Having problems.
Lost admin panel widget for “Forums, Topics and Replies”. Getting this cryptic message error “Cheatin’ uh?”. When trying to access Forums, Topics or Replies through “Right Now In Forums”.
Where can I get 2.24 version?
I have archive-topic.php in my theme and in that way I can have full control of how topic archive is shown. When using bbPress 2.2.4 this works like a charm but when I update to version 2.3 I basically don’t have that archive anymore.
Any pointers which way to look?
@alex-ye wordpress +bbpress +Buddypress
@trip62 @alex-ye
when I check the codes of @jezza101 ‘s website ,I find the problem 。
so I try change the codes in the chrome app ,the Developer Tools,it works.
like change http://127.0.0.1/search/ to http://127.0.0.1/forums/search/
my forum link is http://127.0.0.1/forums so add /forums before the/search/
as like http://www.nxtab.co.uk/forum/search/
so ask:how to solve this problem
(Hope understand my Chinese English)
I concur that bbpress moderation hides everything. Once deactivated, I’m seeing them just fine.
I can’t seem to find the search function everyone’s talking. Is this enabled automatically or my theme is blocking it? Help.
@realhood: It seems a strange proplem, every thing works fine for me :), can you give more informations…
Which version you update from and what is the plugins you use?
Did you try to update the permalinks settings from “Permalinks” admin screen ?
Does bbpress do everything now except private messaging? If so, I’m switching.
For people wanting to hide the new search box, add this to your theme’s CSS:
`.bbp-search-form {
display:none !important;
}`
For the admin area, after further investigation, the only reason I saw the Forums, Topics and Replies menus at all was because of my Post Calendar plugin. Once I disabled that, the Admin menus for bbPress disappeared entirely.
And I’m with @wildomains, I had to disable ‘bbPress moderation’ to get to see the posts. I want to have that plugin, so hopefully either they will update, or whatever change in bbPress broke it can be changed back.
I have the same issue as @probablynot – his second issue:
Second, since upgrading, in the Admin area, I can no longer do anything for the forums. The menu over on the left side has no items under the Forums, Topics or Replies headings.
Like @realhood, my search box always jumps back to the homepage when you query anything.
What’s up with that?
Great, thanks for the new release. Always exciting to see new bbpress updates :)! Couple of comments from me.
Search
I’ve traditionally used Google search to search across my whole site, is there an easy way to switch the new form off? It appears to be forced upon the main forum list page.
It is also not looking great on my sites main forum page, what’s the easiest way to style this, what can I add to my CSS file to change the look? See here.
Stats
For those looking, the Stats shortcode is [bbp-stats], there is also a widget. https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2052
Is it possible to style the output?
Can I control which stats are shown? For example “empty tags” isn’t something I really want to boast about on my forum!
After the update I couldn’t view topic content on my site but could see it when logged into the admin part for editing. Also, I had to make each topic ‘sticky’ to see it on the forum. I removed the plugin ‘bbPress moderation’ and it was OK after that. This means that I can’t use the moderation plugin so anyone can post a reply. I want to be able to moderate each reply. Is there a solution?
Thanks
One, I would like to be able to turn off the search. Just hide it without having to muck around with making a theme for bbPress.
Second, since upgrading, in the Admin area, I can no longer do anything for the forums. The menu over on the left side has no items under the Forums, Topics or Replies headings.
Hi,
I’ve been trying numerous times to convert from vBulletin 3.8.1 to bbPress 2.3.
I get most of it converted until I get this message:
***** = database username
`WordPress database error: [Table ‘******.tagcontent’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT convert(tagcontent.contentid USING “utf8”) AS contentid,convert(tagcontent.tagid USING “utf8”) AS tagid,convert(tag.tagtext USING “utf8”) AS tagtext FROM tagcontent AS tagcontent INNER JOIN tag AS tag USING (tagid) LIMIT 0, 100`
Any ideas what it means and how to fix? I can’t get pass this step and it screws the forum up, even if I repair the forum.
and as a result, it won’t allow the users replies to transfer either.
Sorry… final line so I can subscribe to updates by email.
2.3 versin add picture button ??
my 2.3 bbpress can’t fully responsive in mobile -> editor problem
help me
See title. Because it is completely idiosyncratic and bbpress isn’t widely adopted enough yet that it’s idiosyncrasies are common knowledge, it always sounds as if the forum owner chose the name “Key Master”. Because the name calls up images of Ghostbusters or D&D exclusively, it sounds like the forum owner chose a name with very specific cultural connotations which sound dumb out of their own (enjoyable) context. In short, it makes me feel like I’m starting all of my support interactions with people who are putting a lot of trust in me and my product by saying “I put on my robe and wizard hat”. I don’t really want to install and maintain an entire plugin or a second account to deal with this.
I don’t care what it’s called on the backend or admin side, but it would be very decent to bbpress users to give “Key Master” an alternate display string in the forum where it faces other forum users if they want that, and maintain that feature as part of trunk.
Hi,
The search bar only appears on the page with the /forums/ slug and it doesn’t return any results for strings known to have hundreds of results. Here are my search results for the string “openears” on my forum about the framework OpenEars:
This is on a site with a Woo theme and WooCommerce FWIW.
Thank you for this update.
The search function is welcome.
From what I understand, the ability to set individual access rights to individual forums (discussed here) has not been added with 2.3. Any idea if this will actually come in a future release ? I understood it was not an easy feature, but since this is something I’m waiting to expand the use of forums on my site, I’d like to know if bbPress will include it in a not-too-far future.
Thanks.
why my search function can’t work
when I use it,it always jump to the home page.
(sorry my bad english)
bbPress plugins work identically to WordPress’
Everything you’ve listed is entirely possible with bbPress, but as several of those features aren’t yet available for bbPress. You will need to do a lot of custom work, especially if you want to get a private messaging system working. That work will, obviously, require some coding expertise.
Hi. I contacted Premise support about this too, as I’m trying to do the same as you – have a forum within the members-only area where members are automatically signed into forum when they log into membership site. Their Support sent me a pdf (can’t attach it here sorry) showing how to install the connector plugin and some basic things, but they admitted that they need to get a tutorial up on the site to fully explain things. So maybe ask them for this pdf and see if that helps?
Thanks so much! Seems to have updated without a hitch (well, see below). Tested the forum search right away and it appears to be working fine, although I’m still aching for those search results to be presented as excerpts.
I did also find that I had to resave permalinks in order to see posts again, or else I would end up with a “topic not found”. That gave me quite the scare!
We’ll be checking out those improvements to code posting now.
