2.3 versin add picture button ??

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.

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?

[Erlend]

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.

Hello and thanks for the help!

Two questions for a noob, though: how to enable the search? Also, where is the statistics shortcode? I can’t find it here. https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

Thanks again!

Congratulations! I used the 2.3 version since a while and it’s a masterpiece 🙂
Looking forward to 2.4 …

I’m not a website developer. I’m just a user of WP for two sites. I have a third site that I had a developer set up which is a forum and it is run with phpbb (he said this is what I should use).

What frustrates me is the huge DIFFICULTY in installing a “mod.” I don’t want to have to contact my web developer to install a mod every time I need one. That’s why ALL my websites (except this forum one) are run on wordpress – I can install/change just about anything on it myself within seconds.

What I’m wondering is, if I switch to bbpress is the installation of plugins just like wordpress? I don’t have any problem with that because it’s just click on a couple of buttons. Phpbb on the other hand, requires me to edit files and write code for a “mod” installation. It’s time-consuming and drives me nuts.

My forum is http://www.ForumJudo.com if that matters to your recommendations. I just basically want a site where users can send/receive private messages, vote on posts, post video/audio files, start topics, mods can delete posts & ban users, etc., and possibly a chat feature in the future.

I just know that phpbb is too difficult to install “mods.” I don’t want to learn code.

Thanks for any advice on this!

I’m getting errors on converting vBulletin to bbPress where it won’t convert tags. Once I “repair”, it says that it fails on converting users, as well as no replies have converted.

[premitheme]

I have a problem! Tested the latest official 2.3 version (and rc1) and cannot post topics or replies and always get “ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that?”. Creating forums is OK.

This happened on a fresh localhost installation (MAMP) of WP 3.5.1 and bbp 2.3 using TwentyTwelve theme without any other plugins or themes installed. Attached a screenshot …

The search function is great BTW, well done! Just hope to find a fix for the mentioned problem as it makes 2.3 useless.

Hi,

My website recently went live, and despite experiencing problems with bbpress in the past, I decided to use it to host my forums.

Everything’s working out so far (knock on wood), except that the unique post anchors (http://website.com/forums/topic/topic-title/#post-1234) that show up, for example, in the ‘recent replies’ widget are giving the following error:

`Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/74/10646774/html/index.php:1) in /home/content/74/10646774/html/renewal/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 876`

Caveat: I have permalinks set to numeric and have installed WP in a subdirectory (in this case, “renewal”) which I now use as the wordpress URL while keeping the site URL as http://domain.com so that I didn’t have to move the wordpress directory.

All forums work fine, and navigating topics isn’t an issue–it’s only these unique post IDs that are throwing the error (and rendering the above-mentioned bbpress widget useless).

Any suggestions?

Hi Patti,

Sounds like you may be a bit confused. bbPress.org is the support forums specifically for bbPress, which is a sister project to WordPress.

Unless your sites are hosted on WordPress.com, any issues you’re having logging in are specific to your installations, and not to any central server anywhere.

[Stephen Edgar]

Congrats and Thanks to all who helped get bbPress 2.3 out the door… Yay 🙂

[John James Jacoby]

i have to pay for this?

Hopefully not. A quick Google search found this plugin, though I’m not sure how well it works.

[Pippin Williamson]

BTW: bbPress 2.3 just got released!

[John James Jacoby]

bbPress disables shortcode execution within it’s output, so that non-privileged users can’t gain access to all of the shortcodes available within WordPress. The problem is that shortcodes don’t come packaged with role/capability restrictions on their usage, allowing anyone that can create topics or replies to use any available shortcode. This is risky, so we globally disallow them.

[Pippin Williamson]

The search box is part of bbPress 2.3, which is still in development.

[WayneM1]

I’m running the latest version of everything…

bbpress 2.2.4
BuddyPress 1.7
WordPress 3.5.1.

[lasticko]

btw, the page:

https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/

is out of date. Step 6 doesn’t work. 🙁

[lasticko]

I went to #freenode’s IRC channel for #wordpress and I tried to find help there.

They directed me to :
https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/

But on Step 6 where it says to copy everything in wp-content > plugins > bbpress > bbp-themes > bbp-twentyten into your child theme folder I’m stuck.

There is no wp-content\plugins\bbpress\bbp-themes directory in the latest bbpress.
Outdated instructions… 🙁

I wish someone would step in and clear things up.

This page seems a little more udpated with the correct file structure. I guess I’m going to delve into this a bit more:

[Automoglow]

I have installed bbpress, and I can use everything in the dashboard to set up the forum and create topics, etc. But when I go to forum I created there is nothing there. I am using the Mercato Premium WordPress Theme. Can you help me find out how to get the forum to show in my template.
