I agree with Abdessamad Idrissi. Having a better visual editor would be very helpful.
I have an old site with a HUGE forum (almost 400,000 topics) in bbPress 1.1. I’m importing it into 2.2.4. I’m doing this on a site that has been running the bbPress integration plugin, which means that (in theory, anyway) the old 1.1 site and the new WP site I’m importing into already have the same users.
So here’s the problem: after importing the forum, all of the posts on the new forum have the same author – me. So the import script apparently didn’t import the authors.
Has anyone run into this before? Is there a fix?
I am using Premise 2.4 and have installed the Premise bbPress Connect plugin. I do not see how they link to each other and have been unable to have a forum work from within Premise. I have used the shortcodes to put pieces in my Premise pages, and they show up there, but as soon as I click a link, it takes me outside of the Premise site into my root site. They look different, and I don’t want this for my members.
Is there a way to (pardon my limited use of the language) imbed the forum into my Premise site? Does anyone know how the connect plugin is supposed to work? I have not found any way to configure it to work. Any way of getting my bbPress forum to live within my Premise page is welcomed. Thank you all for your suggestions.
Premise can be found at http://www.getpremise.com.
Hello guys,
I am using the latest version of WordPress and BBPress and this following shortcode is not working:
[bbp-forum-index]
Here is the page with the problem: http://doubtingdave.com/forums/
Thanks Stephen. I discovered that the forum list is at mydomain.com/forums so I used that URL to add a new menu to my menu bar.
I think it’s ok.
I believe bbPress generates a “Forum” page automatically, but depending on the theme as you mention that will work or not.
thanks,
gabi
Hi, I have exactly this Problem. Visitor can see the forum, normaly registered user got an 404 page if they try to open the forum. The next problem is, that I, with admin rights can´t create any topics. I got the message “you don´t have rights to do this”. At the dashboard I´m not able to edit topics or replies, there is no point to edit this, it´s missing. In the profile I can see that I should have admin rights. This problem is since 4 days suddenly.
What I have changed at my comfiguration is the AddHandler, I disabled it, because I had problems with the registration of Buddypress. Perhaps this could have to do anything with the problem, I don´t know.
The plugins I use are:

I hope it helps, you are my last chance to fix this problem, I asked in a lot of other forums but nobody could help me.
Just download four css files from /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/
And paste to /wp-content/themes/your-theme/css/
So you can just modify the 4 css files in /wp-content/themes/your-theme/css/
I am also new to bbpress, and just starting from css
It should work 😛
Though there are vast improvements in bbPress 2.3 for importing vBulletin aso grab bbPress 2.3 RC1 for starters https://bbpress.org/blog/2013/03/bbpress-2-3-release-candidate-1/
Here is the known issues with regard to vBulleting imports
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/vBulletin/
You probably want to double check your vBulletin Username, Password, Database Name and Database Table Prefix if you are getting errors such that you list above as having one of these wrong is typically what causes what you list above.
Find your themes ‘full width’ template, typically `fullwidth.php` and copy this file as `bbpress.php` to your theme directory.
I cannot think of why this may be the case but you could create a new WordPress page and call it ‘forums’ so the URL would be mysite.com/forums and use whatever shortcodes you want on this WP page and fingers crossed Google will index this new page.
A link to your forum to see what is going would be helpful.
That said, I expect it to be an issue with your theme, try asking your theme authors for some tips on making their theme work with bbPress.
It looks clearly like an issue with your theme, try contacting your themes authors to see if they have some tips on making their theme work with bbPress.
For starters try disabling ‘Better WP Security’ as per these two posts as it appears to cause some issues.
404's for non-admins
404's for non-admins
If no luck disable all your other plugins and have a look at your site. If it works re-enable each plugin one by one and check the site again to see what plugins are conflicting with bbPress.
Not entirely sure what you are asking….
Your profile here on bbpress.org is https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/mamphey/
Your users on your site would be similar to http://example.com/forums/users/username/
This will be enabled by default in the upcoming bbPress 2.3
You can test out the extremely stable bbPress 2.3 RC1 via this download link to test yourself 🙂
We are working towards ‘hopefully’ having bbPress ‘responsive’ with version 2.4.
You can see the details and where we are at already with this here.
It would be great if you could help test and contribute some feedback regarding this 🙂
You would need to write some custom code or a plugin for this as currently bbPress’ forum order is determined by the order set of the forums in wp-admin.
This definately looks like an issue with your theme.
Try using WordPress Twenty Eleven to ensure bbPRess works as designed and then contact the theme author to see if they can give you some tips on getting the theme to support bbPress.
In the meantime create a WordPress page called ‘forums’ (or ‘forumi’) and add the bbPress ‘shortcode‘ `[bbp-forum-index]` to this page and this should get you going.
Check out the steps outlined here https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
You don’t need to create a ‘Child Theme’ you only need to copy the files you want to edit to a subdirectory of your theme called ‘bbpress’ eg `/wp-content/mythemename/bbpress`
Aslo this new plugin by @MZAweb is also rather awesome to help you know what templates you should be editing.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/debug-bar-bbpress/
bbPress should not interfere with ‘post’ topic tags and it looks like your issue is fixed going by this URL http://xn--juridiskrdgivning-hrb.nu/tagg/importera-livsmedel/importera-livsmedel/
In a nutshell, NO. At this stage bbPress does not support this. You have two options, 1) Delete the topics manually one by one OR 2) Make a backup of the user information and delete all the posts (topics & replies) as you delete the user and then re-create the user afterwards.
In the bbPress forum settings there is a setting ‘Subscriptions – Allow users to subscribe to topics’ and this should be checked to enable users to subscribe to topics.
Find the correct file in your theme that uses the format you require.
Eg. Many people want a full-width forum and quite often in there theme is a file named full-width.php, copy this file to bbpress.php in your themes directory and you should be good to go.
