I do not really understand the problem.
However I believe it is an error in the database table wp_options
I was overcome as follows:
1: Exporting all of the tables in the database exclusion wp_options
2: new wordpress installation complete
3: remove all of the tables in the new database, but to wp_options
4: Import database just saved aboveeverything
Do it slowly and carefully, step by step. Did not have any errors
You may have to re-install option, re-activate the plugins and themes …
Any help is better than the best
Sorry: my english is bad ;( , try to understand 🙂
ok. bbPress has to be network activated for this to work in buddypress themes.
Or bbPress and BuddyPress have both to be NOT network activated.In my case I want BuddyPress to be network activated, to stream activities from all sites. But I want only the mainsite to have a forum.
Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately changing the permalink-settings didn’t help. I’ve narrowed it down a little bit further; I use a wrapper for the entire forums with a file bbpress.php in my theme. Where a simple the_content statement first rendered the forums, they now fail to do so. If I replace the_content in bbpress.php with the code that’s present in plugins/bbpress/templates/bbp-twentyten/archive-forum.php, the frontpage shows up. But all links lead to 404 not found pages. Am I missing something here?
Hi Jennifer,
All forums are checked with “1” (at least the ones that need a forum). Here’s a screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gn2surksk7yrgw3/Screen%20Shot%202012-12-14%20at%202.58.00%20PM.png
Maybe the group_id_metadata thing went wrong? is there any way to check that?
Group forum creation behavior confirmed on /trunk, and it may be related to why your imported forums are not showing up on their respective group pages. bbPress created the forum and assigned it the group_id metadata but did not check off the “enable_forum” column in the wp_bp_groups table on my test group setup. When I went back and checked “Yes. I want this group to have a forum.” in Group > Admin > Forum, it showed up and “enable_forum” flipped to true.
If you have access to phpMyAdmin, can you check your wp_bp_groups table and see if the “enable_forum” column is full of 0s or 1s? If you can’t, that’s okay, too. Don’t break stuff. 🙂
I’m not good at coding, css and all that. How can i customize bbpress on my site without changing main theme?
I also have the same problem on page 404
When logging with bbPress highest account works very well
When not logged into the system everything works very well also
However, when logging in with your member account, 404 occurred with every link of bbPress
This is my website: http://moiluc.com/ wp: v3.5
This is my forum: http://moiluc.com/hangouts bbppress: v: 2.2.3
I use buddypress but only use the x-profile feature: buddypres v1.6.2
You can test error with acc: ngoctrinh pass: s1234567
Any help is really great!
I just tested this and I can confirm that creating a Private and Public group and attaching a forum to that group works! But there is one issue.. When you go through the Group Creation wizard and check ” Yes. I want this group to have a forum.” and finish creating the group, the forum is NOT added. So you have to go into the Group Admin > Forums and enable the “Yes. I want this group to have a forum.” checkbox again. Then it does work. Example: http://www.youthpolicy.org/community/groups/testing-forums-bbpress-2/forum/topic/testin-topic/#post-2667
Thanks for the help so far 🙂
Thanks for the pointer, I’m going to check it out now.
For testing purposes:
What happens if you create a new Private group with a forum? Does that forum have a parent of “Group Forums” and show up in the group forums list? Does the group display a Forums tab on its group page? Is the forum accessible from the group’s Forums tab?
What happens if you create a new Public group with a forum? See above questions.
Hey guys,
I am doing a project needs a forum, so I’m using bbPress 2.0. Since it’s for my company which is multinational and we have more than 1 language spoken, I modified the Recent Replies and Recent Topics widgets to show the parent forum so that people can determine if they can actually understand what is in there. You can add the Show Parent Forum through te widget option and I sticked to the original code format when doing the mod.
I didn’t create a plugin for this, if someone wants to, they can go ahead and do just that. Maybe add others options that they want. Code is below:
http://pastebin.ca/2293446
put it in a .php file, and in functions.php add something like
include TEMPLATEPATH . '/lib/widgets/widget-bbpress.php';
of course, replace /lib/widgets/widget-press.php with your location to the file.
Tried to import from my current vBulletin 4.0.4 to bbPress 2.2.3 using the bbPress import function, all forum, topic and replies were migrated correctly however the users we not migrated and are under the admin account, I tried it twice and made sure I checked the convert users. Not too sure what I did wrong.
Hi Guys!
Please … I found of course the ShortCode Page on http://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ BUT … I do not know if and how insert in a page the EDIT PROFILE code … Any help ??
…
For instance, when I go to see my profile, I can use different link …
Here’s a ScreenShot on http://www.pietrosferrino.com/ScreenShot.png.
How can I use that links in order to make by myself a page where every single user can use them?
Thank You.
Pietro
Glad you hacked found both your problem and a solution 😛
Yes, the converter is part of bbPress and can be found in your WordPRess admin dashboard under ‘Tools’ -> ‘Forums’ -> ‘Import Forums’ but you do need to customize the ‘example’ file I mentioned above for any custom forum imports.
Just got the whole thing working. Here is the code:
function restrictForum(){
$db_name = 'dbname';
$con = mysql_connect("url","username","password");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
$cust_id = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['cid']);
$sql = "SELECT * FROM customer_data WHERE customer_number = $cust_id";
$result= mysql_query($sql);
$cust_id_form = ('
Enter Your Customer #
');
if ( isset( $_GET['cid'] ) && !empty( $_GET['cid'] ) && mysql_num_rows($result) == 1) {
// cid (customer ID) is present, show the bbPress login form
echo ('Please enter your username and password to continue.');
echo do_shortcode('[bbp-login]');
} elseif ( $_GET['error'] == true ) {
// cid entered was not valid
echo 'The customer ID you entered is not valid.';
} elseif (!is_user_logged_in()){
echo $cust_id_form;
}
}
add_shortcode('forum-login-restrict','restrictForum');
Nope its doesn’t make sense, but I’ll figure it out. 🙂
Thanks for your help, much appreciated.
EDIT: I think I know what to do here. . . I’ll get back to you.
Without the fix located at http://mysitemyway.com/docs/index.php/BbPress I get the default blank blog page at /forums/, with it, I get the error Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysite_after_page_content() in /home/content/39/10190339/html/wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/archive-forum.php on line 25
This only shows up at the bottom, but I can still click on my forum post.
But when clicking on the forum post, I get the errorFatal error: Call to undefined function mysite_before_entry() in /home/content/39/10190339/html/wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/forum.php on line 26
And it does NOT display my post, only displays this error. I tried searching the mysite function, but no solution to be found.

Hello,
absolutely happy about the integration of bbPress 2 into BuddyPress groups I tested this out today. BuddyPress was already installed with group forums on, but not used yet. Installed bbPress completely fresh.
WP 3.5 multisite, bbPress 2.2.3, BuddyPress 1.7-bleeding-#6628, using bp-default theme.
I followed these steps: http://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/migrating-from-old-forums-to-bbpress-2/
and this guide: http://labzip.com/the-definitive-guide-to-buddypress-bbpress-configuration/
Result: I can create everything vom backend: Forums, topics, replies.
I can add topics in frontend to sitewide forums.
But I cannot create topics to a group forum, also in new groups from frontend – only from backend.
I found the bug here that Forum tab doesn’t show up at group creation. I don’t know if that matters – if I turn group forum on after creation in admin panel, the tab is there, with all forum empty messages and new topic form. And these group forums show up in the backend forums view under group forums, so the hierarchy is correct.
Sure this is a test / dev install, no live site. And there’s no hurry, but I’d like to test more out with your plugin 🙂
Is there something I did wrong until here? Or I could try?
thanks, Fee
Here’s a quick thing you could try. Might work, might not.
In the wp-admin sidebar, go to Settings->Permalnks. Try messing around with the different permalinks options, see if that does anything. I would recommend the Post Name option. In my site, I have this set as a custom option:
/%category%/%postname%
Maybe the update to 3.5 messed with the permalinks option.
EDIT: I guess I skipped over the first post that says permalinks are fine, but it’s worth a try for anyone else having this problem.

Alright. Everything fixed. 😉
To set the post positions new, I created a curious script using the function ‘bb_update_post_positions’ and an sql-query to get all topics by id. I loop through the topics and make an function call for an modified ‘bb_update_post_positions’.
I describe here only my approach to solve the problem. My php code itself could be dangerous. 🙂
But if someone has the same problems importing old data (bbPress 1.x) I’ll help via email.
Here is what is on the home page.

Here is what is on your forums.
http://pastebin.com/q0PzuM4T
So you need to link the image on the forums to the full sized image, if that makes sense?
Actually, I can confirm that NONE of my users (except me, as admin) can access the forums. All get the page not found error.
Hello Again,
I am still waiting for a response. There is a problem in Translation file.
For example, here is a permalink for a string “Edit Forum”:
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/ar/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=19786&filters%5Btranslation_id%5D=2008090
The string is translated but for some reason at my forums string it still appears in English.
I also want to mention that some of the strings displayed properly at my forums with it’s translation, but some strings still appear in English.
Currently I am using WP 3.5 and bbPress 2.2.3
Hope now you have time to check the problem. I do not know if I’m doing something wrong but six weeks ago, the translation worked fine with no problems.
Thanks
Thanks Lynq,
