Hi all,

 

same problem here: I used simple:press in the past, but due to their *$@µ policy where you need to pay (yeeeh, pay!) 39$ to get a simple extra plugin for uploading images, I switched over to bbPress.

But I can’t find the option to allow users to upload images! Please help us with this!

reg,

Val

Standard bbPress & WordPress do NOT support ‘signatures’ in the user profiles.

What are you using for bbPress signatures?

I am a “noob” too. So, will bbPress work with ANY theme, or should I buy a theme designed for it? I know very little about editing code but I can hire someone to help me.

I wanted to use the Sophis theme from Theme Forest but the author says he has zero experience with bbPress and he doesn’t think it will work. It is any older theme.

Any advice?

Thank you,

RT

I have a fresh multisite/buddypress/bbpress.   I installed sitewide forums and made sure group functionality was turned on for forums.  This is on a sub site with buddypress multisite turned on.  I had previously had the same issues I have now on a already installed site.  Because of these issue I scrubbed the install, wiped the database and reinstalled fresh.  I still have this issue.  when I create a topic from buddypress group forum page it goes to a blank page with this error

“<br /> <b>Fatal error</b>: Call to undefined function bb_get_id_from_slug() in <b>/home/spanef/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-functions.php</b> on line <b>178</b><br />”

 

I have seen previous solutions about deleting the forum ids in bp_group_meta which i did and upon recreation still didn’t work.

I have the newest wordpress, buddypress and bbpress .  This is a fresh install.   Do you have any idea what i can do, I have to have this working.

Hi, I’m somewhat of a WP newbie. I’ve been able to get my WP site up and recently added bbPress. I created a Forums page at : http://flomio.com/forums/forum/ask-the-flomies/

For some reason I don’t see any of the “Create New Topic” widgets or WYSIWYG editor rendered in the page. I am able to create Forums and Topics from the WP Admin page but these don’t seem to be rendering in the forums page either. All I find is a right-side panel that shows my “active forums” and my login profile.

I’m using the Propulsion theme from woothemes and Googling around suggests that it should play nicely with bbPress. Any ideas, help, input is much appreciated.

thanks,

[Stephen Edgar]

Customizing the example.php file is what will map your existing SQL database tables and fields to the required bbPress tables and fields to import your data.

I am slowly getting some docs up on the codex, though these need updating.

It is limited to embedding a linked image only.

GD bbPress attachments is fully compatible with bbPress 2.2.x as far as I know.

[Stephen Edgar]

You need to be using bbPress 2.3 for the SimplePress import module to be included with bbPress

You can download the bbPress 2.3 beta 2 from here:

bbPress 2.3 Beta 2

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately that’s not quite what I’m lookging for. Here’s an example:

Topics:

RE:RE: Sample Topic Posted Feb 3st, 2012
RE: Sample Topic Posted Feb 2st, 2012
Sample Topic Posted Feb 1st, 2012

—-

As opposed to clicking on “Sample Topic” and being brought to the “Sample Topic” page with each reply listed below.

Basically, each reply to a topic is its own post and has its own page.

Reference http://www.stockhouse.com/companies/bullboards/bb?s=BB&t=LIST for a good example.

Thanks again.

WP: 3.5.1, bbPress: 2.2.4

From the documentation I can tell that the ‘Auto Role’ applies the default user role to new user accounts. However since ‘Auto Role’ is not turned on by default I’m curious what the default behavior is? Or more importantly, why isn’t ‘Auto Role’ enabled by default?

Thanks,

I would like to switch from simple press to bbpress and am looking for the best way to import the data. Unfortunately, when I go to tools-forum-import, I do NOT have the option to import from simple press. Any idea why not?

regards,
Val

beta1 of 2.3 now allows image embedding.

Does that capability support uploading of other file formats? Or is it just limited to images?

One of the pain points for bbPress for my uses is the lack of a universal file upload system. I know there is a plugin or two, but they didn’t appear compatible with 2.0+

[nickandrea19]

So, as I understand it, I would need to customize the example file, which will be the template for the forums. Then, I will need to actually import the data?

Do you mean I need to unsubscribe to this forum for you to answer? How will I know if you reply if I do? Thanks if you can help me out!

[Shane Gowland]

Create a page and use the `[bbp-topic-index]` shortcode to display all topics from across every forum.

[Clicknathan]

Unsubscribe, apparently I have to leave a comment to do so.

Hello,

I just installed bbpress and am quite impressed. Unfortunately, though I need a solution that works in a message board format, where topics are started and replies to those topics all show up in one big list, instead of breaking them down into their own sub categories. An example of this would be the forum on Stockhouse, found here http://www.stockhouse.com/companies/bullboards/bb?s=BB&t=LIST.

Is this possible with BBpress?

Thank you!

[Stephen Edgar]

Have you looked in the WordPress Plugin Directory for something to do what you are after?

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

bbPress uses WordPress to maintain/manage users and usernames etc so there might just be something that suits your needs. I am not sure if any would be compatible with the bbPress front end profile editor but it might be worth a shot. (eg https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/chevymanusa/edit/ )

[Stephen Edgar]

Its not as fully featured as what you are looking for though it is a start the ‘bbPress Post Ratings’ as discussed here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/introducing-plugins-for-quotes-ratings-and-unread-posts/

I, for one, am very much looking forward to image embedding in topics/replies using WYSIWYG!

[kraigg]

I’m also using GD bbPress Attachments, but instead of embedded the images in the post or reply, it attaches them at the bottom of the topic or reply. This is not always ideal, as the images are separate from the topic/reply. Also it gets tricky when there are multiple images.

Fortunately bbPress 2.3 will have true image embedding, and should be released very soon

bbPress 2.2.4 Released

Hi Lynq,

I tried adding that first code from pastbin to my homepage box which is supposed to show the latest 5 topics from our bbpress forums – unfortunately it’s not showing anything. Is there something else that needs to be added?

[1dayjapan]

@imagei, I have the same issue but tried to figure out what you posted here for a fix. I would be grateful if you can help me to fix this. I am about to pull my hair out. Thank you!!!

I am having an issue with permalink duplication of topics. When one of my users creates a topic with the same name as a previous topic the backend correctly serializes the permalink (i.e. domain.com/forums/topics/math-4) but in the front end the link is always to domain.com/forums/topics/math and that link shows all of the topics that had the name math. Furthermore, if you actually go to domain.com/forums/topics/math-4 it comes up as a 404.

This would not be a problem except if the wordpress visual editor is used for replies the users cannot type anything unless they first click on the html editor tab.

Here is a link to the problem http://www.wolverinetutors.org/forums/forum/math-2/

You can see many topics that have the name “math help” these have the issue. I have disabled the visual editor in order to temporarily fix the problem.

I am using wordpress version 3.4.2 and bbpress version 2.2.4

[chevymanusa]

So far, I have came across these posts:

Displayname check

I want to completely forbid changing the "display_name"

How to disable DISPLAY_NAME edit for Subscriber Profile

And a couple of threads that reference disable display name plugin, however the link is dead.
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/disable-display-name/

Most of what I have come across is over three years old. Is this problem/issue easy to solve? or already solved. And I am just looking in all the wrong places?

Thank you in advance for the help.
Kind Regards,
Chevyman
