Thanks so much, @082net!
That did the trick for me.
I see the ticket @Alexandru Vornicescu linked to — https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2121 — was closed and marked as invalid. The response being ‘Run the user role reset tool in: Tools > Forums’
However, I was having the same issue and running the ‘role reset’ tool did not fix the issue for me. So, I’m not sure the issue is invalid.
I could not get this issue fixed until I followed the instructions found on this post – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fix-404-issue-for-bbpress-2-2-x/
Right now I have a script that connects to an external db outside of WordPress and authenticates a user’s “Customer ID” before showing the bbPress login form, but logging in redirects me to WordPress. This is the process.
1. When they enter the Customer ID, I pass a parameter to the URL like “website.com/?cid=1234” — the “cid” represents the customer id.
2. Then it shows the bbPress login form populated using “add_shortcode([‘bbp-login’]);” which then logs in correctly.
3. For some reason, it redirects them to the WordPress admin panel directly after so… “website.com/wp-login.php” — this then takes me backdoor to “/wp-admin/” because it knows I’ve already logged in.
This only happens when I enter the website with the “cid” parameter already passed in. So if I enter the website with “website.com/?cid=1234”. I do this to bypass the first authentication so the user doesn’t always have to. SO WEIRD!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
localization languages for bbpress plugin?
Thank you, that was the fix I was looking for.
You can forums to existing WordPress pages using bbPress various shortcodes.
Is nobody seing this or..=
Yup, seeing it. But your post it pretty clear and informative, so there really isn’t much to add.
You should look into upgrading to bbPress 2.0, that way proven antispam WordPress plugins (Akismet, Bad Behaviour et al) can provide what’s clearly much-needed protection to your community.
I was using the same database.
Users were already in WordPress, because it was the same installation, so the users could continue using the new forum without problems.
Limbobski, I have tried to import the old forums, but it did not work for me.
Did you have the old forum on a different database?
Were the users able to continue using the new forum?

Hello. I understand that this release was meant to introduce bbPress topics/replies showing on BuddyPress activity amongst other things, but that’s not working for us. I have deactivated buddypress forum component and instead I’m using bbPress “let groups have their own forums” option, but the activiy does not show topics or replies.
Is it a bug or what? Does anyone know a fix?
Hello,
I’ve installed BBPress (2.2.3) and WordPress (3.5) (site: http://twoblankpages.com). For some reason I cannot get the forums to attach to a WordPress “page” I have set up (named discussion). I’ve set the slug to discussion, but whenever I visit it I just see an empty page. I’m also running buddypress, but when I set the page through buddypress it just causes a redirect to my homepage.
However, if I manually enter twoblankpages.com/discussion/discussion/ it navigates me to the topics.
Any help you can give would be appreciated.
I’m sorry for my delay in replying! I had to put this project aside briefly but now I’m back at it. I really appreciate your response – but, unfortunately, I don’t have that file or an extras folder.
The theme author told me that it is in the bbpress folder, so I went to wp-content/plugins/bbpress and there are some files in there (bbpress.php, index.php) that may be the place to do it. I’m going to keep trying!
Thanks again 🙂
As the title says. I have deactivated buddypress forum component and instead I’m using bbPress “let groups have their own forums” option, but the activiy does not show topics or replies.
Is it a bug or what? I know it’s supposed to work.
my understanding is that the current version doesn’t do anything with bbpress (won’t let you edit those roles anymore) i also hit this problem today (also using URE) i deactivated the plugin but am still seeing the issue nothing changed in the last day since it was working little apprehensive to give “normal” users the ability to erase others :/
I’m having this problem again as well. html editor buttons not showing, visual are, when I switch from html to visual editor, the cursor moves all the way to the right of the post box as well.
At this stage I haven’t seen anyone mention anything about converting to BuddyPress ‘Group Forums’
With some theme customization you could make it appear that you have two lots of forums by putting each into their own ‘parent category’ and using shortcodes to only display each ‘category’ in specific areas of your site.
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
The other way is to go WordPress Multisite and have a separate site for your ‘support’ side of things.
To customize bbPress as a support forum check this great tutorial by @mordauk http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/plugins/using-bbpress-as-a-support-forum/
@johnjamesjacoby Aside and onto the topic of “Forum Roles”. Is there a way we can add more custom roles?
hello
Here I start and I installed the latest version bbPress.
Can you give me a link to the French language translation please.
thank you in advance
bonjour
Voila je me suis lance et j’ai installe la derniere version bbPress.
Pouvez-vous m’indiquer un lien pour la traduction le langage francaise s’il vous plait.
merci d’avance
Traduction s’il vous plait
I have a large amount of content in a site wide forum, and would like to move all the content to particular groups and only use groups now with a “support” forum.
Can anyone advise me on the best route to do this, and how to create a support forum much like bbpress.
Thanks!
Oh man what a post:
I agree that I don’t want to use a plugin to add a capability to my custom role. I use a snippet to add capabilities to my “Master Editor” role.
However, there doesn’t seem to be a capability to get these roles to be able to use the “Forum”, “Topics” and “Replies” tabs.
Are there any solutions floating around to add BBPress caps to users?
Cool….
bbPress does not create any tables of its own, it uses WordPress custom post types for forums, topics, topic tags and replies.
I cleaned up the code layout of Example.php in #2134 so it now matches the coding style of the other importers. If you use SVN you can apply that patch directly or download it directly from here.
I am slowly getting updated and more docs in the codex starting here:
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/
To customize the Example.php importer I have started this doc which follows this topic on building a new custom importer for the Mingle forums.
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/custom-import/
This is all a work in progress and has a few moving targets so any questions ask away 🙂
I have succumbed and installed Mingle in the need to find what’s going on with the rogue post!
edit: host was having an issue.
