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

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

How does bbpress.org limit the top-bar posting options to just a “Create New Topic”? We’d really like to do the same for our site, but currently it’s just showing New – ‘Post’, ‘Media’ and ‘Site Features’ (that one’s specific to our theme). This is really confusing to our users.

[peripatew]

I’m working on an educational site, and would like to provide some different options for interacting on the forum that don’t require typing. I’m transitioning to bbPress from Vanilla Forum, and love their reaction system. Here’s an overview of what it is: http://vanillaforums.com/blog/news/introducing-vanilla-reactions-and-badges/

It’s basically allows you to quickly response with, Like, Love, Agree, Disagree, Promote, Off Topic, Insightful, etc…

Is there anything like this for bbPress?

[dday76]

I’ve tried to look around but you’ll see the search terms on this are a bit generic.
I just installed bbpress and what I found is that non-Admin can’t see the forums.
I’m using the Advanced Access Manager plugin.
All the forum-related options are checked in capabilities and none are excluded under posts and taxonomies.
The forums/topics/replies section on the dashboard navigation (under pages) isn’t there.
If I switch the user from Super Admin to just Admin, the forums re-appear. If I create a new role “Admin2” with full permissions, the forums disappear again.
I see all the “is_admin” functions in the plugin code, but I’m not sure how that works. Is there some way to adjust the code to look for capabilities rather than roles?

And is it possible to have thumbnail of attached image in front of thread title?
That http://grabilla.com/03204-abca68e8-8913-4bf7-970f-56328986da90.png icon looks pretty bad no offense guys.

Or.. any plugin that would allow image upload.

Is there really only 1 plugin for bbpress for image upload? :O 🙁

Thanks for replying Shane! Me replying as per your points below:
1) Yes I know manipulating sidebar is out of bbpress, but the templating of bbpress pages is within the scope. And so for the same, I already stated that I have used forum.php (just by luck it worked, where I used a different sidebar, and it accepted it instead of page.php). I just needed to know am I did the right template (forum.php, forums.php), since no where its documented to use a custom template for bbpress pages.

2) I have stated that I have used twenty-twelve with very little customization. BBpress user pages should work as forum pages accomodating in it. Its not possible to easily do it, just one trick that I already explained is to forciby display:none the sidebar, and make primary area wider with !important. But this is not good in the case if I need sidebar on this page, or in the case to remove sidebar rather than just hiding it from visibility.
This issue is not exactly theme specific as I already posted a link where other users facing it too. The thing is just little incompatibility of bbpress user pages with several themes.

3) Yes I can use the template, but I didn’t find any template which wrapping up all the user pages like profile, edit-profile, topic started, replies created, etc. There are several files inside bbpress templates, but none are there which include header, footer, sidebar tags in them; they just have the inside-content portion. For templating user pages I need a custom template which it is by default taking page.php and now forum.php which I luckily made. So, let me know which file should I create inside my theme which wrap all user pages and other pages already working with custom forum.php made. I asked for the possibility of using two or templates for bbpress forum and user pages, rather than all falling on page.php, as per bbpress documentation.

Further surely I asking for the help from bbpress authors and users, and just expecting to fix the things if they are the issue, or let me know the solution if exists which can help other users too.
Also, I am also acting as a little volunteer, done some research and so stated how I was trying to fix and what ways solved my problem somewhat. And also posted some deficiencies of bbpress which if solved, make it more better. And I will surely post fixes if I get myself.

So I hope my issues are more clear now, hope I will get better answer from someone.

Thanks.

WordPress Ver: 3.5.1
bbPress Ver: 2.2.4
———————-

I can add Forums and Topics in the frontend page but can’t add “Replies”…

To analyse this issue, I did the following things.
1. Deactivated plugins other than bbPress –> No change
2. Switch the theme to Twenty eleven –> No change
3. Change the web brouser from IE to Google chrome –> No change
4. downgraded WordPress ver. to 3.4.2 –> No change
5. downgraded bbPress ver. to 2.1.2 and 2.2.2 under WordPress Ver.3.4.2 –> No change
6. downgraded bbPress ver. to 2.1.2 and 2.2.2 under WordPress Ver.3.5.1 –> No change

Therefore I think the rootcause is in bbPress itself.

I really need the help from the people who know a lot on bbPress as soon as possible.

1:
Take a look at Widget Logic or Sidebars. These are plugins specifically made for adding different sidebars/widgets to specific pages. Manipulating widget areas is outside the scope of bbPress and is something you will need to implement yourself.

2:
This is a theme specific issue. bbPress could do more to accomodate different primary content area widths, but it’s quite easy to fix with a bit of CSS.

3:
You can create page templates for specific bbPress functions/pages by creating a /bbpress/ folder in your theme directory and copying your edited bbPress template files into it. It’s briefly mentioned in the codex, but I concede the documentation could be improved significantly.

Further I expect from bbpress authors to work on these issues and release a fixed version.

bbPress is an open source project (largely) developed by volunteers. To expect anything reeks of self-entitlement. The best way to make these things happen is to ask for help on specific issues, fix those issues and then contribute your fixes to the project.

Hello, I am using lates bbpress 2.2.4 plugin with wordpress 3.5.1, php 5.4.3 & php 5.3.2.
This plugin is showing me many issues specially for user pages (profile, edit, etc.)
I am using twenty twelve theme, very little customized.

1) I wanted to set a different sidebar for bbpress forum pages than other wordpress pages, so I checked and found the default template used by bbpress is ‘page.php’. I copied it, renamed to ‘forum.php‘ and added a new dynamic sidebar and commented default sidebar. It worked fine and now I can set any widget to this sidebar. I have checked that either I place ‘forum.php’ or ‘forums.php’ both working fine similar. Not sure which one is more correct.

2) On the bbpress users pages the profile content and edit form is not displaying full in widht cutting as its width overridden by sidebar, breaking layout. The content area ‘primary’ div is given a width in theme and having ‘secondary’ as sidebar. All other contents properly adjusted on every bbpress pages, but only this bbpress user profile edit page have the issue. The form should also be adjusted within the content area. Ex. url: http://mysite.com/forums/users/testuser/edit

3) Now, suppose to fix the issue mentioned above in point 3), I want to remove sidebar from users pages and give the primary content area more full width, how I can do it? One way is to forcibly hide the sidebar with css and make primary content wider with !important. But I want a way to change user pages template. Is it possible to have different template for user pages than bbpress other pages? I found that users pages also generating using ‘page.php’, in my case ‘forum.php’ template now. I tried alot by copying and changing ‘page.php’ to ‘user.php’, ‘users.php’, etc. but its not working. Please let me know how can I set user pages to use a different template file and rest bb pages use my forum.php or forums.php whatever.

4) For any user when I click ‘topic started’ or ‘replies created’ link, both show counts properly but the table didn’t appear. I checked in firebug, it present there but hidden somehow. Same issue mentioned here http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-topics-or-replies-posts-not-being-displayed/ , I tried with the same thing, but till now no proper solution there. Please let me know proper way to fix it.

5) If suppose I want to completely hide the user-profile links on all bbpress forum/topic authors, on all bb pages, I mean want to display only author gravatars and usernames but want no link on them, so other people cannot go to their profile pages, how can I do that? A little help given here http://forum.graphene-theme.com/graphene-support/show-the-author-but-hide-its-link, but its not working properly. But I think it can be done with right filters in the same way. Please let me know with sample code.

6) Used the official facebook plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook/ , and displayed the like button, like box for my facebook page using it in my site footer, header etc. But I found that on the user pages like edit profile, profile view etc. facebook widgets are completely disabled and not visible. On other bbpress forum pages they are displaying well. I checked with page source and found even facebook sdk is not embeded in page source. Their must be an conflict on bbpress user pages with facebook sdk which stopping it to be enqueued. This need to be checked and fixed.

These all issues mentioned here are serious issues with bbpress specially for user pages and must be solved and have proper solutions.
I dont expect from a single person to answer or fix all of above points, but hope different people will help me for different points (just mentioning points in their replies).

Further I expect from bbpress authors to work on these issues and release a fixed version. May be some of above points just because of lack some documentation, so they can mention some solution in its FAQ itself, so people having same problems can get help without searching or posting here in forum.

For people like me new to php this is how to make a plugin with John’s code :
paste this code in an editor and save the file as teenybb.php :
<?php

/*/
Plugin Name: Teenywithbb
Plugin URI: https://bbpress.org/
Description: Enable Teeny Mce in bbpress
Version: 1.0.1
Author: John James Jacoby
Author URI: https://bbpress.org/
/*/
function foo( $args = array() ) {
$args['teeny'] = false;
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'foo' );

copy this file in your plugin directory where you usually copy other plugins.
You can see the plugin named Teenywithbb in wordpress you juste have to active it.
and then you have tinyMCE Advdaced as editor in bbpress 2.2. 🙂

This is with bbpress 2.2.4. If I switch to default settings under permalinks, all is well. I want to use Day and Name option, but when I do this I notice that attempting to go to a sub forum under a category would return a file not found error.

So I looked at the URL’s and I am getting:

http://mysite.com/site-forums/site-forum/support/bug-reports/

However when I delete the /support from the URL string and use this:

http://mysite.com/site-forums/site-forum/bug-reports/

Everything works and the correct forum is displayed. Is there somewhere I can edit that will take the forum parent topic out of the sub-forum’s URL?

[Erlend]

I’m not asking for something that’ll work out of the box. Some pointers on what pieces of code to look at to have a go at this ourselves would go a really long way. Same goes for excluding forums and topics from default index.

[Stephen Edgar]

We would definitely make sure the bbPress tools would support maintaining ‘BuddyPress Group Relationships’ and #2089 might even end up defining which direction is taken.

It could also be done in bbPress as a ‘Moderation Tool’ to bulk move topics/replies that includes BuddyPress Groups support which is already planned for future bbPress Moderation Tools.

Hi there,

Is it possible to make a disclaimer pop-up box appear before a user is able to post a new topic or reply?

As I am using bbPress with Buddypress, I would like my users to be reminded about whether they are in a public or private group, just before they submit their post. I was hoping there could be something like a privacy disclaimer that would pop on the screen, that users have to tick and agree to.

If in a public group, the disclaimer would say:
“You are about to post in a public group. Your content will be visible to all users”

If in a private group, the disclaimer would say:
“You are about to post in a private group. Your content will be visible to all members of this group”

Is something like this possible? Thank you

[Erlend]

Thanks a bunch for releasing this, very interesting stuff! Will be playing around with this for sure. Best of luck with the theme review 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

Just remembered you also need ‘bbPress for Pagelines’

http://www.pagelines.com/store/plugins/pagelines-bbpress/

[Kikobeats]

My forum base is: http://zombeats.es/comunidad/

I Have different forums and subforums inside

Hi,

I’ve just installed bbPress on WordPress, but the weird thing is that I don’t even see the Forums tab, which should allow me to create forums. Tried to find what it could be already, but unfortunately without any luck.

Could someone help out?

Thanks in advance.

[Hesam]

Thanks
I posted a topic on the plugin support forum.

Thanks again Stephen

Wordpress 3.5.1, bbpress 2.2.4 – What’s the best and simple way to add like / share / tweet buttons for each and every topic (not including replies).

I’ve installed every possible plugin for WordPress, which adds buttons on posts / pages, but doesn’t work with topics.

I’m using this theme: http://themeid.com/responsive-theme/

Thanks.

[Jared Atchison]

It looks like your theme’s CSS has some conflicts with bbPress. Do you know CSS?

[aetios]

Hi ! I have the last BBPress integrated witth wordpress 3.5

The forum works fine but when I submit a post (not a new topic) it redirect me to the topic but it adds in the adress bar “%2F”, so that gives me a 404 error. The post is submitted but this is annoying.

Here’s what the links is after I click submit :

http://openmindfestival.ponnuki.net/?forum=marche-aux-puces%2F#post-1343

And it should be

http://openmindfestival.ponnuki.net/?forum=marche-aux-puces#post-1343

I haven’t touch anything in the permalink, I tried to reset them. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin. I’ve deleted all forum and start a new one. Nothing seems to fix the problem. I’ve tried to look online, but nobody seems to have an answer.

Any idea what can cause that ?

Thank you very much.

Here’s the link to the website :
