What should I change it to? I’ve tried 1, 20, other random numbers, “first”, but none have made any effect.

[Stephen Edgar]

Change the ‘Order’ in the backend… See https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/#creating-your-first-forum

[Stephen Edgar]

Try activating the bbPress plugin!

[Stephen Edgar]

Try disabling all of your plugins (As in all of them not just the bbPress related ones)

Now go check your forum and make sure everything looks like it should.

Still have problems then it could be your theme, switch to Twenty Eleven or Twenty Twelve if you find its an issue with your theme contact the theme authors to see if they have any suggestions for using bbPress with their theme.

If it is still not working correctly re-install the bbPress plugin.

Once you are happy that the forum is working as it should now start enabling your plugins one by one and test bbPress activating each one until you find the offending plugin or plugins.

[Stephen Edgar]

What role does the user show as if you disable the ‘Members Plugin’?

To test this properly I would suggest disabling the members plugin and then create a new user and assign them the bbPress role ‘Moderator’ and then view their profile from another user context.

Hi.

I haven’t found an option to shift certain forums on bbPress up or down on the page. I’ve searched on the internet but the only results that come up are ones to do with exporting and importing forums or moving topics to different forums. I’ve made an Introduce Yourself forum on my site’s forum but it’s all the way at the bottom and I want new users to notice it but I couldn’t find a way to move it to the top of the page. Is this possible, and if so, how?

I have tried to upgrade my install of bbpress from 1.0.2 to 1.2 (so I can migrate to the plugin version) several times now and I only get a white page. I verified my versions…

Wordpress 3.5.1
PHP – 5.3.3
MySQL – 5.1.61

I disabled all my bbpress plugins, copied over all the files, made sure my template files (custom theme) and my bb-config.php file were still there. I only get a white page after the upgrade. Page source says there is zero code in the page. I have seen other posts with this problem, but have not seen a resolution to the issue.

Am I missing something?

I found at last what I was looking for:
https://github.com/turtlepod/gt-bbpress-author
here is a “GT | bbPress Author Drop Down” that works like a charm!
It works for me in BuddyPress, with bbpress forums, WP 3.5.1

I could not find the plugin in the repository, just in github.

For non-specialists:
You have to copy the file content (that you see on the github page) in a new file, save it as a php, put it in a zip file on your desktop, and then install the plugin by using the “uload a zip” feature in your wordpress installation.

[horiamar]

there is a plugin, works for me just partially:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/orbisius-bbpress-enhancer/
the problem is, I cannot change replies-authors, but just comments (topics) authors. Otherwise, it works fine!

[horiamar]

I tried to use the bit of code postet here above by Anointed.
I put it in the functions.php file of my buddypress theme.
It didn’t have any effect…

On the other hand, I found a plugin that does the job, but just partially:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/orbisius-bbpress-enhancer/
(Orbisius bbPress enhancer)

This plugin works fine, but it allows me to change only the COMMENTS authors, not also the REPLIES authors.

(forums in bbPress consist hierarchically in: FORUM > TOPIC > COMMENT > REPLY)

I Would be grateful if any coding specialist among you would tell me what to do with the codes above, to get them working (for comments AND replies).

Hello,

I started using bbpress for our organisation but i noticed that it’s not possible to post new topics or replies from the front end of the site without bbpress showing the ERROR: Your topic cannot be empty warning.

The topic title stays intact but the message field get’s deleted and users can’t post anything.

On the other hand, admins can freely post via backend and the topics are then visible…could someone please try to help me resolve this issue?

thank you.

Hi Guys,

wondering if someone can help me out with the following bbpress query. The tag below when used directs website users to the profile page for wordpress.

My Profile | %admin_url%/profile.php

Does anyone know the tag required to take bbpress forum members to the bbpress profile page where mambers can also see the topics they have started?

Thanks for your assistance in advance.

Sam

I am just getting database connection error for your whole wordpress install at the moment.

@blancdememoire See this https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/trouble-with-po-and-mo-files/#post-127814

You will need to follow the contact link there and ask the French Translations team when are they going to validate the waiting translations on ‘glotpress’.

Hi I have a problem still and I followed the steps of uploading the bbpress-fr_FR.po and bbpress-fr_FR.mo of the latest version with changed names to content/languages/bbpress but it still doesn’t work. It’s driving me nuts ! Help would be appreciated.

Thank you for your attention

few people having this issue, seems nobody wants to help.

[Spudnic]

Users can create new topics perfectly fine, but when a user replies to that topic after they click the reply link to submit the reply, they are redirected to my 404.php page, yet the reply is submitted perfectly fine.

Is there a setting im not seeing where you specify where users are redirected after reply submission?

Wordpress Version: 3.5.1
bbPress Version: bbPress 2.2.4

Other info: Currently developing my own theme. Running wordpress on my localhost.

Hello,

I’m using the latest version of wordpress and bbPress. Here is my site. BestFishingSite.com. And here is a link to the forums. http://bestfishingsite.com/forums/forum/forum-2/

The format of the forum is all messed up. Can you help me clean it up?

[Nate]

Hi fellas,

So in the midst of this change to bbPress, and while I’ve been incredibly impressed, the moderator functions are a bit perplexing.

Problem No 1: Currently, if Moderator ‘A’ deletes a post, it’s viewable to him on the front-end as something that can be restored. However, no other moderator or even Key Master can view this, unless they go in through the back-end and check the Trash. Logically, you would think that if all mods can see this queue on the back-end, it would be visible on the front-end to them as well. If mods take a team approach, as they often do, this would be a must.

But the real problem begins on the back-end, and assuming my bbPress is installed and functioning correctly (I’ve reverted to TwentyTwelve in case it’s a theme problem), posts that sit in the trash cannot be restored. Every time we try to Restore a post from the back-end, we’re met with “Are you sure you want to do this?” and an error occurs.

Problem No. 2: Key Masters can move a post to another forum from the front-end. Moderators cannot move a post from the front-end, but *CAN* move a post from the back-end.

Again, these inconsistencies are perplexing.

Unless, of course, my site is buggy … but like I said, I’ve deactivated all other plug-ins and even switched back to TwentyTwelve and it persists.

Thoughts?

There is a new shortcode and widget for bbPress stats in the upcoming bbPress 2.3

[fagiano1973]

I have the same problem but the link corrupt are simply bbpress topic link with “soundmanager2.swf” final suffix.
Example the right link is “http://mysite.tld/forums/topic/hello” but user go to 404 page because they have the link http://mysite.tld/forums/topic/hello/soundmanager2.swf !!!

I am nerd… i hope this news can help you to resolve.
