Dear Support-Team!

I use WP 3.5.1 with BP 1.6.5 and bbPress 2.2.4

I just started the Forum integration with WP and BP – everything works fine. Coming to my issue.

1. I tested a user, registered in WP/BP as subscriber. I think this is standard. The same user gets the role for bbPress as participant. That’s standard too.

2. My test user started in BP a hidden group, so he’s the admin of this group. He activated the bbPress forum function for his own hidden group. Although he’s the admin of the BP group he cannot start writing any forum article because he hasn’t the rights for it. It’s only allowed to answer to articles other user made.

My suggestion is. That groups with its own forum, started by one person as admin, should have just the rights for this area. I see that bbPress rights are given for all forums in BP. But this isn’t fine because user should act more locally in their groups.

Note:
If I start a group as admin in Facebook maybe, I’ve just control over this group and not over all other Facebook groups (explanation just for a better understanding).

Is there any way to change this?

Thank you for support

Best Regards,
Thorsten

It seems the focus on member roles has taken away from the structure of the forums made with bbpress.  It would make sense to me to develop forum structure and information availability.

This could be accomplished by having the ability to create a forum and lock the locations of topics.  By code and visually as they appear on the site.

I think limiting ability to make topics or replies for each each individual post when created by admin, would develop forum content more efficiently than limiting abilities for individual users.

In other words.  Rather than limiting abilities by access level.  Is there currently a way to lock forums and topics the way they are?

In other words.  When I develop the forum as an administrator, can I limit the ability of all users to contribute to those posts?

I think a more even balance can be achieved, between content contributed by admin, and relevant information contributed by users, if the admin can limit users ability to alter the structure of the forum.

I switched from phpBB to bbPress recently thanks very much in part to a script found in these forums.

Now, many of the existing posts contain links to each other in the old phpBB format /topic.php?t=123. Since the topic IDs have stayed the same in the conversion process, I’d like to use ModRewrite to automatically redirect to the new /topic/123 URL scheme. I’ve tried the following in my .htaccess, but it doesn’t appear to work. (Admittedly, my knowledge of ModRewrite is shaky at best.)

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/forums/viewtopic.php?t=([0-9]+)$
/forums/topic/$1 [R]

(In the real code there isn’t a linebreak on the second line.)

Does anyone have any advice?

hello,

i get the same problem with my theme: Fatal error: Call to undefined function bbp_get_forum_parent() in /homepages/15/d283273997/htdocs/womanation/wp-content/themes/localnews/functions/breadcrumb-trail.php on line 261

i did not understand how to fix it from what you said John James, is there anything I can do?

[Unsal Korkmaz]

Sorry for people that waiting, passed 7+ days from approved but theme is still waiting for WordPress.Org publish.  Its probably my fault that i released some newer versions before it gets published. I cant give a date but at least theme will be in WordPress.Org soon.

Meanwhile you can check my example child-theme: http://theme.firmasite.com/example.zip
This theme;

• adds Flatstrap custom style to theme style list
• selects it automatically
• removing default default bootstrap style from list.

You can edit this child-theme however you want 🙂

[Maxaud]

I allow the BuddyPress groups on my WordPress to create forums however for every group that gets created I get another forum added to my bbPress page (mydomain.com/forums/).

How do I hide the forums from individual groups on the main forums page?

Note: all these forums are children of a “Group Forum” category.

Thank you!

Hi fontadoni

I thought it was the latest version of bbpress. It was on softalicious. No problem, I shall download the latest version from these site.

[Stephen Edgar]

As per above can you please create a bug ticket on trac https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

We need as much detail as possible so detailed step by step instructions will help us to recreate the bug and find a solution.

[fontadoni]

Plugins in the old version of bbpress need to be uploaded by ftp, there’s no button or search for that. I advise you install wordpress and use the latest bbpress plugin version instead, even if you don’t want to use wordpress. I just converted from the standalone version a few weeks ago and I’m glad I did.

Why would you want to install a version that’s not supported anymore, when you have the option to start fresh with the latest version? You’ll run into a lot of problems eventually so might as well do it now.

[fontadoni]

Create a new wordpress page called “registration” (or whatever you wish to call it). On that new page add the shortcode [bbp-register] and publish it. Then add the link to the new page you just created on the sidebar widget, for example: your site.com/registration/

Here’s a list of all the shortcodes you can use: https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

[captjones]

Also, topic thumbnails plugin doesn’t work with bbPress Post Toolbar aswell.

Somehow it only responds to [img] tags.

[dsherer]

I need help I have installed my bbPress plugin and setup all my forums but I do not know how to get it onto a page. I have found a shortcode but my forum front page looks like this

http://guardian247.us/?post_type=forum

if you click on a link then the the next page looks like a forum. How do I get it to look like a forum on the fron page?

Hello,

I want to sort the bbPress index page, to have the newest forums at the top at and the oldest at the bottom??

[Soukous]

I have just installed BBpress 2.2.4 into WordPress 3.5.1

I have a login widget on my sidebar.
In this widget there is a field for a URL that will take new (unregistered) users to a registration page.
What is this URL? If it is specific to my site, how do I create/define it?

[archivedb]

Because right now I’m editing files at /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress and I know it’s wrong and I will lose everything on update.

I’ve crated a child theme of my own theme (do I really have to do that? can’t I just create a dictionary within my own theme?), activated it, copied all bbpress theme files to this child theme, but I’m not sure how to “link” them to bbpress? Because after everything bbpress was still using theme files from /plugins/ dictionary…

Anyone?

Thanks a lot, and sorry for this stupid question, but bbpress documentation is really confusing, I’d love to understand bbpress more so I could help others though.

[mralexweber]

Okay, contacted WishList, and confirmed (again) that WLM is the culprit. WishList’s position is that they don’t support bbPress, but they’re helping me troubleshoot a bit.

I’ve got a dev site with the unencrypted plugin for testing/debugging, but I’m not really sure where to start… I welcome your suggestions here or on twitter @alexweberis.

How would you suggest I troubleshoot this issue further? Ideally, I’d like to be smart about it, rather than trying to go through the WishList Member plugin “from the top”.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Hello,

I am using WordPress 3.5.1 and bbPress 2.2.4

Site: http://meditationpracticeornot.com/

I added a new keymaster user to create forums and when they login the option to create a new forum is not listed. I was previously using User Role Editor and the s2member plugin, I removed them because of other issues, but I am still having problems. Any help is appreciated. If any additional info is needed let me know. Thank You

[fencer_x]

When I installed BBPress on a new site, I noticed that the default forum page (/?post_type=forum) gave me a strange title at the top of the browser (“Archive | ##:## [time]”) as if it were being dynamically generated every time I refreshed the page–and the sidebar widgets were my generic ‘page’ widgets and not the ones I’d explicitly set for the Forum/Reply/Topic pages from the Admin panel (the Reply/Topic pages display just fine; it’s only the base Forum page that’s giving an issue).

I thought I’d solved this problem by making the ‘Forum’ link in my header menu link to a generic page I made that I slapped the bbpress forum shortcode onto–and all looked well–but now in the breadcrumbs, if I click ‘Forum’ from a reply or topic page, I’m sent back to “/?post_type=forum” and left with the same issues.

Any idea what’s going on or how to resolve it? Why isn’t the Forum page accepting the sidebar widget I’ve assigned it, and why is it giving me a dynamically generated, non-helpful title?

[Sergio De Falco]

Hi people,

It’s possible because I have seen it, but how-to insert breadcrumbs before page title in bbPress (without using css)?

The title is handled by Worpdress, but if I add

php bbp_breadcrumb

before the title in a custom content-forum.php page, it doesn’t work.

Using a thirdy part plugin (like WordPress SEO by Yoast) will work, but in some pages I see Topics, not forums in the breadcrumbs (maybe due to the post_type), and it’s not really “clean”.

Who can help ne?

Thanks 🙂

FAQ – https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

The following shows the current progress of bbPress translation to French for the ‘dev’ & ‘2.2.x’ versions:

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev
11% – 111 Translated – 879 Untranslated – 628 Waiting

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.2.x
% – 0 Translated – 952 Untranslated – 533 Waiting

So quite a few are done but needs an authorised ‘validator’ to approve the ‘waiting’ translations.

You can contact your local translation time via https://fr.wordpress.org/contact/ to find out who the bbPress validators are or if no luck request to become a validator yourself via https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/

I am pretty sure this plugin has something with setting the forum hours.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-vip-support-plugin/

It hasn’t been updated in a while but there is an unofficial update on GitHub

https://github.com/shazahm1/bbPress-Support-Forums

[eklay]

@johnnypea – Did you ever get this figured out? Using the_excerpt() anywhere on a BBPress page returns Forum content, even when called within a non-forum custom loop, and then completely clears the $post object… This is very frustrating.

[dvharrison]

Hi all

I have installed BBPress version 1.2 to act as a standalone forum alongside my online shop http://folliclehealth.com/forum/ (we don’t have WordPress installed). I created it in a separate folder so it doesn’t interfere with the main website.

Everything has gone brilliantly but I have found that there is no Install plugin button in the admin area.

Is this normal and if so, how am I supposed to integrate plugins (eg anti-span, etc)?

Please advise.

[Gettinitdone]

hello all

I am enjoying working with wordpress/bbpress/s2member on a new website.

I would like to make the forum unavailable to users from 10pm-6am. This will depend on the users time zone.

Is this possible?

Thank you
