I have now tried switching to the Twenty Ten theme with the bbPress child theme, but I get the same result – the forums just disappear when any user other than the admin logs in. Can anyone help – it’s driving me nuts!

[peripatew]

I’m making the switch from Vanilla Forums to bbPress, so forgive my noobish questions.

I’m setting up an educational site, where users interact with the content, then click “Action” or “Reflect” buttons, that with Vanilla, where just linked to the forum itself. I had roles/permissions set to only allow users within a particular group to see one categories of posts.

This allowed me to send them generically to the forum, without having to link specifically to the forum posts. As different groups access the content, but buttons would take them to the appropriate area on the forum.

Can I do something similar with bbPress?

What steps do I take to replicate this? In Vanilla I had to create a custom user group, and then a category on the forum that was tied to it.

When you you think images uploading problem will be fixed? I mean that default users can’t upload images now using TyniMCE editor.

I think that’s intentional for now. See this:

@ridecbrcom-1 Supporting older bbPress versions is not within our scope I’m afraid.

@johnjamesjacoby ‘least we could do!

@limitx3m nope, and it’s not likely to be made either. Votes on our forum are applied much like on reddit: some “go gold” because they shared quality content, while some might’ve just cracked a good joke. We would need a different voting system altogether (for which there are long-term plans in place) to make such a thing valuable – i.e. for our purposes, “top posts” should be the informative ones, not the funny ones, as newcomers probably wouldn’t get most of the jokes anyhow.

Clean wordpress, buddypress and bbpress install (again) and I still can’t get a ‘forums’ tab on the site.

I know this is an extremely basic step, and I’ve spent hours and several re-installs to attempt the ‘forums’ or ‘forum’ or ‘board’ or anything tab to link to a sitewide forum.

I’ve never understood the heirarchy of wordpress (obviously) but I seem to always manage. This one is really has me. I can directly navigate to it in the browser but all I can ever get is a blank page when any tab might appear.

I’m also aware that this isn’t listed in the bbpress codex since I’m sure it’s on page 2 of beginning wordpress.

Any help? Many thanks in advance.

Perhaps my brain is just fried, but when I search for bbPress themes, TONS of stuff comes up, but is this all mostly for an older version of bbPress that wasn’t a WordPress plugin?

I’m trying to replace a Vanilla Forum’s installation, but so far the process hasn’t been super-smooth.

I’ve found a few standalone wordpress themes that are aimed at bbPress users, but I want to integrate bbPress into my current site. Typically, I’d find a theme that is “close”, and then dig through it to make it fit within my site.

Am I approaching this the wrong way? I feel like there’s something simple I must be overlooking, as every other forum has had a simple theme installation process.

Thanks, but I’m not sure how that helps. (I prefer to avoid direct db queries, but it is obvious how to make them.)

I did discover get_pages, which seems to be similar to get_posts but with a completely different implementation. The following now works.
return get_pages( array( ‘post_type’ => bbp_get_forum_post_type(), ‘numberposts’ => 99,
‘post_status’ => array(‘publish’, ‘private’)) );

I would still like an answer to the other part of my question, if anyone knows. Ie where is the output generated for things like Admin All Forums in bbpress. These provide good places to look for API examples.

But silence is better than noise.

Turn on ‘anonymous’ posting in bbPress settings /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress

People can then post anonymously and signup as a member if they want to.

Hey all, great to hear people are working with the theme more and more, I will work on an updated version for you all to get stuck in. Hopefully I will get more of the issues resolved and sort out some of the profile pages too.
Generally the main forum page is the only one that is done to give you a good start, but I have changed a lot on teamoverpowered.com/forums so I will try and bring that across into a better starter theme, hold tight!

[Lynq]

In your theme you have some CSS which is targeting
.reply a { // some css styles }

This is turning all of your links inside .reply into blue buttons, which I guess is somewhere else in your theme.

Hi, our bbpress sitewide forum has WYSIWYG editor on it, but when I go to the private group forums, there are not option to Bold, Italic, Link, attach a picture or anything. Is there anyway I can extend this functionality to the private group forums? Private groups are where people would communicate most in our situation.

Any help would be appreciated.

[Stephen Edgar]

A couple of options:

• Add a link in your menu to http://www.amanofreason.com/forums/
• Add some widgets to your sidebar https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/
• Add some shortcodes to your WP pages https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes

[Stephen Edgar]

Nice, looks good, thanks.

I seem to be having an issue with how the converter itself works? I run the converter and it tells me “No forums to convert” as well as no anything else. I copied the SQL in the title attribute and ran that in phpmyadmin and it returns a proper data set as expected. I experimented with entering incorrect values for the db information and that didn’t actually produce any errors or any difference at all. I’m thinking there’s some sort of problem connecting to the db and no error handling for that issue.. Any idea what could be going wrong? This is on WordPress latest and a fresh install of bbPress with just that Vanilla file added.

Hi, I have homepage with recent posts of bbpress.
But the page navigation is not working properly.
Page navigation is working fine within each forum.

Any idea?

I just noticed a rather annoying problem for bbPress users try to post a new topic to my Forum.  Here’s the sequence of events:

• A registered user tries to create a new topic by typing in their topic text in the editor window
• The user forgets to enter in a Title for the topic
• The user clicks the Submit button
• bbPress redisplays that Forum page with the error message

  Your topic needs a title.

• The text that the user had previously entered has vanished.

Now, granted the user can click his Back button and get back to the text he entered, but not all users are that enlightened.  They simply get frustrated that all of their text has disappeared, likely giving up or at least irritated at my Forum.

Any idea why this is happening? I can’t tell if this is a bbPress problem or a WordPress problem.

Thanks.

Okay, I think I figured this out on my own, though I don’t quite have the list of usable html matching what the default TinyMCE editor offers.  I’ll have to play with that separately.

What I did was add a function in my functions.php file that changed the allowed markup for all bbPress (and blog) posts to include what I think is a reasonable list AND is still safe. I’ve added the IMG tag as well — for my Forum that’s a useful feature, and I’ll just have to monitor what people post in terms of image links.

Here’s the code I added to my functions.php file:

add_action('init', 'my_html_tags_code', 10);
function my_html_tags_code() {
        define('CUSTOM_TAGS', true);
        global $allowedposttags, $allowedtags;
        $allowedposttags = array(
                'p' => array(
                        'style' => array()),
                'strong' => array(),
                'em' => array(),
                'i' => array(),
                'del' => array(),
                'h1' => array(),
                'h2' => array(),
                'h3' => array(),
                'h4' => array(),
                'h5' => array(),
                'hr' => array(),
                'blockquote' => array(),
                'q' => array(),
                'pre' => array(),
                'span' => array(
                        'style' => array()),
                'div' => array(
                        'style' => array()),
                'ul' => array (),
                'ol' => array (
                        'start' => array()),
                'li' => array (),
                'a' => array(
                        'href' => array (),

                        'width' => array(),
                        'height' => array(),
                        'alt' => array())
        );
        $allowedtags = array(
                'p' => array(
                        'style' => array()),

I’ve noticed this problem as well.

I’m running WP 3.5.1 and bbPress 2.2.4.  My bbPress area is here: http://www.dalluva.com/member-area/forums/

When a non-Admin user attempts to post a Topic or Reply using the Visual mode (built-in TinyMCE support), they’re led to believe that they can use do things like create ordered/numbered lists, etc.

The visual editor does show it, but when they Submit it, bbPress strips this out.

No surprise there: while the visual Editor bar shows these editing capabilities, the little box below the editor that says “You may use these HTML tags and attributes:” doesn’t list ol, ul, li etc.  Doh!

I noticed that posting to this bbPress site, it shows in the little box that I can use ol, ul, li, and it does work.

QUESTION:  How can I expand the available HTML tags and attributes (ideally without hacking the bbPress code) to include other tags like ul, ol, li, br, hr, etc?

Thanks.

Here is live demo (Korean language):

I am pleased to release this clean theme for non-tech people.
It is basically bootstrap child theme and bbpress styling of default bbpress template.
I have hard time to figure out new bbpress plugin and theme. Now I have some clue…with lots of googling. One thing I couldn’t do is “Previous/Next Topic” navigation while seeing single topic.

Please refer here to download theme.
WordPress Bootstrap + bbPress

Any suggestion welcome.
