i read https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/can-a-topic-be-assigned-to-multiple-forums-or-categories/ your suggest about assign topic to  multiple category, but don’t you think is a good core solution for forums categories?

[Marco Palermo]

in bbpress we have “forum” type and “category” type

but i can’t assign a forum to multiple categories, how do you will solve this?

I am a new WP (version 3.5.1) user, and I don’t know much about html and other codes. I have set up WP with help from firends, and I have managed to create a forum myself with bbPress (version 2.2.4).
It looks good, but my problem is that when I return from a topic to my main forum page the title of the page changes to the first topic in the list.
As a work-around I found a solution that suggested creating a new wp page and adding “[bbp-forum-index]“. This works and looks good, but when I click on Forum to go back to my main forum menu, I am returned to the bbPress main forum menu where the title is wrong. How can I return to my own WP forum page after visiting a topic?
Is there and address or a code string I can add somewhere in the plugin program? – or perhaps it isn’t that easy? Can anyone please help me?

hmm I still can’t set the featured image item at the top too. How do you access that in the bbpress section? I can set it when creating a new page, but there is no option to set it I believe because it takes a default template that is usually blank? Can I set it in the bbpress.php file somehow?

Ok, I created a new page at aeris.com/aercloudforums and put in the shortcode for login and forum. As you can see with the login shortcode, the signup button ends up all the way to the right. How do I move it to the left with everything else that defaulted to the left?

Also, when i change the url to aeris.com/forums, it then gets overwritten by bbpress to the standard forum page. How do I make it so I don’t lose the forums structure in the url, but make my new page the one that loads at aeris.com/forums?

[jtong80]

Hello,
I created a forum at aeris.com/forums and it is great to see it using the website’s custom default template. However, I don’t see how to add the login to this page or have it show up on any of the subpages for the forum. Also, there is a feature image area at the top that I can set when creating a new page, but there is no option in bbpress to upload a pic. Any help is appreciated!

Well I uninstalled and installed bbpress 2.2.4 and I got the same issue… I’m not sure how long this has been happening.

Hi there,

I installed bbpress for a Service and Therapy Dog programs for certain Therapy Volunteer members to communicate with each other in this type of forum. I’m tightening up the nuts and bolt on this forum, but one of the members has point on a matter.

This is what she (Heather a.k.a. mheather54) said,

“.…i can go straight to the post from my email link (email notification), i still need to log in if i want to post (which is a good thing), but it would be nice if, when i log in, it redirects me back to the post i was reading, or at least to the therapy volunteer forum.  instead, it takes me all the way out to my word press profile.“

Reply link to T.V. member mheather54: http://pawsteams.org/tv-forum/forums/topic/forum-placement/#post-95

Is there a way that I can re-direct the user back to the post when they log-in to reply to topic??? Also, I noticed that when I log-in, it sends me to my dashboard instead of the actual forum.

What I have running under the hood of WP:

• WP version 3.5.1
• bbPress version 2.2.4

WP Theme: Twenty Twelve version 1.1

WP Plugins that are active:

• Akismet version 2.5.7
• bbPress version 2.2.4
• bbPress Notify version 0.2.1
• Captcha Code version 2.1
• Hello Dolly version 1.6
• Login LockDown version 1.5
• Ultimate TinyMCE (free) version 4.1
• WordPress Importer 0.6

Here’s the link to the landing page: http://pawsteams.org/tv-forum/

I would greatly appreciate your help! 🙂

Warmest Regards,

Hi everyone

I’ve bee banging my head for a couple of days with my bbpress forum. There is a problem with the sidebar on the forum page as you can see here http://tricksforaffiliates.com/?post_type=forum . The sidebar location is before the main page instead of next to it. It works ok everywhere else.

I’ve tried to find where the problem lies. At first I called the forum via a page with the link to option and could remove the sidebar from page.php but of course that made it disappear everywhere else too. I checked the bbpress php files and usually appears before the footer call not after header. I don’t know if that tells me anything.

I also tried finding something with firebug but to no avail. I am able to remove the dash and the page looks ok, but the problem is cause I can’t figure out which document the code refers to and don’t know where to search for a problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Wordpress version: 3.5.1
bbPress version: 2.2.4

Hi:

I’ve been translating into Spanish the. Po, now I would like to know how to change the date format for bbpress forums, i.e: instead of 24 January 2013, 24 Enero 2013.

Regards!

bbpress roles are automatically assigned to new users as set in bbpress settings, after a new user has been added you can then change that users role via dropdown menu near the bottom of either the wordpress profile or bbpress profile page

This is my netball forum, migrated to bbPress from phpbb:

Latest

The import sort of mucked up, so I have a few odd Anonymous users here and there that I have been having to change in the database, but no other problems otherwise.

We designed it to fit into our website as much as possible. Our website is an online digital netball magazine, with the latest netball news and netball forum too.

Thanks @netweb for your help!

WordPress 3.5.1
Buddypress Version 1.6.4
Bbpress Version 2.3-beta2

I’ve looked around for a while but I can’t seem to find a fix. After installing bbpress Version 2.3 beta2, anyone who is not logged in cannot see the first post of any thread.

I’ve already gone through and tested by deactivating every one of my plugins with the exception of buddypress.

Any suggestions…

When on the front end and viewing a form you have a Home->forms->form name if I click on forms, i get otice: Undefined index: feeds in /var/www/wordpress/wp-includes/link-template.php on line 871

I am making my own theme, It is compatible with bbpress and I have NO other plugins. any ideas?

I only have one form btw.

I need to speak up and revive this issue, because while I think Jacoby does an EXCELLENT job with this, PLEASE let me lend my 10 years of experience that began while building from scratch and sustaining a 10,000 plus online community (now with FOX Sports). I am a digital marketing manager professionally. I do it successfully.

I know what I’m talking about.

bbPress is an awesome product. But the URL structure, and the missing LOGICAL progression that should be Forum to child topic w/ understandable navigation, is ABSOLUTELY perplexing.

Please don’t give me the “build a plugin” talk, either. This is common sense.
Forum > Forum Topic

I’d *LOVE* to hear a rational argument against this …

[Sam Rohn]

just out of curiosity, does bbpress.org run anything like Wanguard, Stop Spammer Registrations Plugin, etc to deal w the bots that flood this site 4 times a day ?

i use wanguard on my much smaller bbpress site and it does an excellent job of keeping bots out, but i know this site sees way more traffic than mine…

Solved! And finally the import is just as awesome as promised. 🙂

Ok I managed to move a step forward, it seems on Media Temple you need to select their DB host. Anyway, now I get this one:

WordPress database error: [Table ‘db9999_DBNAME.bb_members’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT convert(members.member_id USING “utf8”) AS member_id,convert(members.members_pass_hash USING “utf8”) AS members_pass_hash,convert(members.members_pass_salt USING “utf8”) AS members_pass_salt,convert(members.name USING “utf8”) AS name,convert(members.email USING “utf8”) AS email,convert(members.joined USING “utf8”) AS joined FROM bb_members AS members LIMIT 0, 100

any clues?

Hi there folks!

This has been frustrating, my forum used to be an stand alone version 1.0.2

As suggested in another tread, I updated first to 1.2, that process went smoothly, so I thought I was close to victory, but so far it still eludes me!

Each time i try to import the old forums using the 2.2.4 forum import function with my DB Name, DB User, DB Pass, DB prefix (default bb_) , it runs the process smoothly saying there is no users to import, no forums to import and so on.

Is there a step I may be missing?

[akgt]

I uninstalled both and installed bbPress 2.3b2 and buddypress 1.7b2 and it seems to be working now.

[akgt]

Thanks ill try it.

[Jared Atchison]

I’m not sure what the issue is, but just for grins make sure you update to BuddyPress 1.7 beta 2 (just came out today), see if that may help.

If not then we have an issue to look into.
