@fagiano1973 I can’t reproduce the ‘topic looks like a filename’.

Can you provide some more info that would help us reproduce it and/or try bbPress 2.3 RC1

[Spudnic]

Your the man. Works beautifully.

Surprised this isn’t standard option ive seen alot of questions on it.

If i continue to use bbPress i might make alittle “customization” faq and will def include this.

Thanks again you’ve been supremely helpful.

[stickFinger]

Sorry, but that is really VERY important for my new project, so:

Any insight on this?

[Daniel Dvorkin]

Copy bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php into a bbpress folder in your theme, and in that copy remove from:

` if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster() ) : `

and
` endif; `

I’ve restricted access to /wp-admin using .htaccess file within the /wp-admin directory.
I have a forum with BuddyPress + bbPress installed.
All forum users receive the default subscriber/participant roles upon registration.
Visitors not logged on are free to roam the forum (no posting though).

But logged-in users are asked for the username/password that is set for site admin (for /wp-admin, specifically) immediately after accessing a forum or a topic.

How can I stop WP asking regular forum users for username/password set for /wp-admin?

I can provide url to site, a test user credentials and the content of .htaccess file.
Thank you.

I realize I need to upgrade first to 1.2, when I attempted this I just get a white page.

From this page https://bbpress.org/download/legacy/

I downloaded all three bunches of files, the 1.2 stand alone version of bbpress, I created a folder called backpress in my bb-includes folder and copied in the backpress files, and in the backpress folder I downloaded all the pomo files into a folder I called pomo. I then over wrote all the files on my server with these new files, I made sure I copied up a copy of my custom template files, but still I get the white page. bb-config is intact and fine. Thoughts?

[Spudnic]

I have seen some discussion on this, but in the thread they talk about editing the post.php file, but i dont see how that would effect bbPress, and those topics are from around 3 years ago.

[afjsystem]

hi.. i tried to look around the web to find solution of my trouble.

my forum is http://tanyajawabforex.com/forums/ and all seems to be fine (the installation)
i work on wp 3.5.1 + bp 1.7 rc 1 + bbp 2.3
but little bit annoying about the display of my bbpress forum.

Dot of list style appears and the text wrapped. Maybe because of not a full width.

Any suggestion how to fix it ? @netweb ?

[Spudnic]

So, right now with my un-edited bbPress installation on the forum pages, the authors role is displayed as KeyMaster::1, and so on and so forth depending on the forum role of the author of the topic / reply. Is there a way to change what is displayed there? I would like it to display possibly my wordpress user roles rather than the forum roles, or maybe to display something else once I figure out how to modify the display.

Is this possible?

I don’t really want to edit core bbPress files so i thought i would try to make a plugin that would just change them.

Any and all replies are much appreciated. Thanks.

This is my site / theme and you can see what im referring to on this page:

http://oqueuefansitedev.co.nf/?topic=a-test-topic.

[Spudnic]

Is it possible to change where the link to the topic / reply’s author links to ?

Currently when you click on the author’s name it links to the author’s bbPress profile, i would like it to link to my themes author.php file.

Thanks for any replies.

If I understood the instructions correctly, after installing and configuring the forum should be in my menu so people can get to it.

However for some reason it is not http://networkingcounselors.com/forums/

I feel like I am most likely missing something but searching I couldn’t figure out what.

If it makes a difference, I am not using a custom menu. I am just ordering the pages how I want them to display. Doing this because one of my add ons restricts page access based on member level and it does not work with custom menus.

Wordpress: 3.5.1
bbPress: 2.2.4

[Artisantopia]

WordPress V3.5.1
BuddyPress 1.6.5
bbPress 2.2.4

I have just moved my group forums from BuddyPress and added a sitewide forum as per these instructions http://codex.buddypress.org/user/buddypress-site-administration/migrating-from-old-forums-to-bbpress-2/

Everything is working except for 1 thing.

Any user with a forum role of Participant cannot see the opening topic post in any thread. They can see all replies. It doesn’t matter if they created it or another user did, they can’t see the opening post.

If I change their role to Moderator they can see the opening post. But, I don’t want everyone to have moderator rights.

I tried changing the capabilities of Participant (using capability manager plugin), but that didn’t work either.

Can someone please HELP!!!

thank you

I started Bbpress 2.3 rc 1 and BP 1.7 and seems no trouble.
but the forum bbpress display non full width and list style.

until now, search much time on google, only @pimarts forum website that looks great. i wondering how he can get displayed ?

[stevendo]

Well, finally it turned out to me that the wp_posts_fulltext_search table was a custom table that the former dev of the site added (not a WordPress native). 🙂 I’m good to go now.

Hi moebi

I came here from a google search regarding subforuns in bbpress.

Even before I install wp+bp+bbpress i´d love to know if you have news on this. For the kind of community i´m planning subforuns is a must 🙂

Also looking at your code, i´ve found in my group.php

` */
public function remove_forum( $forum_args = array() ) {

// Bail if no forum_id was passed
if ( empty( $forum_args[‘forum_id’] ) )
return;
` where public function is line 610 and so i´m a bit lost.

Any help would be appreciate.
Thanks

I am also converting Vbulletin 4.2.0 over to BBPress 2.3-rc1 (not 2.2.3) and hopefully BuddyPress. I had the same problem with users not coming over.

I found that if I disabled BuddyPress, and ran the conversion, my users came over with no problem.

Now that I’m enabling Buddypress and have a few glitches, such as the members page not displaying members, and the registration page not displaying.

Hi Everyone:

Im new to using bbpress and I have a question. I have two forums where I want two different sets of users. For example Forum A will only be able to be access by Group A and Forum B can be accessed by Group A and B. Is this possible?

Thanks to all replies in Advanced!

[limitx3m]

@netweb

I’ve sent you an email and information. I guess we’ll continue communication through email to get to the bottom of this.

Thank you so much!

[clickmac]

this is the latest version of bbPress and has option for replies
check here:
http://www.trottyzone.com/forums/users/admin/

as you can see “replies created” option

[fontadoni]

I recently converted from the standalone version of bbPress to the plugin version. Everything went as planned. It’s been about a month and all of my forum posts have been re-indexed by google. Luckily I don’t have a big board so I was able to do 301 redirects for all my old URLs so they pointed to the new ones.

The only odd thing is that now my forum home page (index), say mysite.com/forums, did not get indexed by google. If I try to search for mysite.com/forums, I get all my posts, but not my homepage. Any clues on why this happened and what I can do to fix it?

Thanks in advance for you help.

[Unsal Korkmaz]

Update: I added “Change style” button to theme website. Now you can see how buddypress or bbpress pages are changing when you change theme style.

Example BuddyPress Profile page:
http://theme.firmasite.com/members/unsalkorkmaz/profile/

Dark style of same profile page: http://theme.firmasite.com/members/unsalkorkmaz/profile/?style=cyborg

Example bbPress forum:
http://theme.firmasite.com/support/forum/theme-support/

Just change style from top-right and see the magic 🙂

[inkrap]

Alright, first off let me explain what I’ve done so far. For my forums, I have created a forum-specific sidebar.

sidebar-bbpress
` div id=”sidebar”>

?php
if (!function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar(‘bbpress’)):
endif;
?>

`

And registered the sidebar in my function.php
` register_sidebar(array(
‘id’ => ‘bbpress’,
‘name’ => ‘bbpress’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘div class=”widget”>’,
‘after_widget’ => ‘/div>’,
‘before_title’ => ‘h4>’,
‘after_title’ => ‘/h4>’,
));
`
And I pull it in my forum.php by:
`?php get_sidebar( ‘bbpress’ ); ?>`

In my css I’m able to customize the forum’s #main by referencing “#main.forum”, so I can specify widths that will only affect the forum, etc.

Now for my issue, how the hell do I change sidebar information ONLY in forums? I’ve tried referencing #sidebar.forums, but it doesn’t classify the sidebar as a forum sidebar.

No such luck,

Unfortunately, even on WP 3.5.1 and bbPress 2.2.4 we still can’t see a user’s replies, as you can see in this profile :

There doesn’t seem to be any particular options regarding replies either, so that’s not it. Our parent theme is Twenty Ten, could that have anything to do with it?

[Fee]

Thanks, Daniel, sure you could do it with an own function instead.

I saw that there is already a ticket related to the title: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1764
Didn’t test the patch yet.

Hey,

I have tried to import my Vbulletin forum to bbpress for the past few days.

I use the import function and checked the information with the config.php file from the forum that’s still up and running.

When I try I just get this info:
Repair any missing information: Continue
Conversion Complete
No replies to convert
No tags to convert
No topics to convert
No forum parents to convert
No forums to convert
Starting Conversion

Anyone with luck to import their vbulletin forum? I’m running vbulletin 4.1.12 Patch Level 2
