Some of my users have the same issue. The moment they login on the wordpress site, the forum becomes inaccessible. The get a page not found error.
Once they log out, it works again. This is a cross-browser issue.
Supposedly, there’s a fix for it here: http://mysitemyway.com/docs/index.php/BbPress
But, the fix doesn’t appear to work quite well if you use plugins that add “HTM” extension to your pages etc.
I would be interested in knowing how to post photos within bbPress posts, just as normal forum posts do. I do NOT have any “TinyMCE” options in my installation (WP 3.5 — bbPress 2.2.3).

Hi JJJ,
after studying the bbPress 1.1 converter code and an deep look into the mySQL data I know the error. In my installation the field post_position is set for all old post to ‘0’. It’s possible that this is an error form the originally convert from phpBB to bbPress 0.9 some years ago.
From the import:
‘join_expression’ => ‘USING (topic_id) WHERE posts.post_position IN (0,1)’
So for now – i’m searching for an solution to reset the post_position.
Nice. Thanks for the heads up. I don’t know if the previous database was an SQL database but I think it was. So, the conversion is installed when bbPress is? Is it accessed and configured through the WP dashboard?
Thanks.
WP 3.5 and bbPress 2.2.3
After moving a bunch of topics from one forum to other (to close the original forum) the moved topics are all floated to the top of their new forums, even if they had a very old freshness before they all said “1 minute” after the move. I tried recalculating the freshness and now it has the correct dates again but they are still out of order so the front page of the forum is full of posts from months ago. Any help?

What you can do is add the current lightbox you have installed to a specific element on your site.
For example, something like this inside script tags in your theme, or inside a js file:
jQuery(“.bbPress .bbpress-forums img”).lightbox();
This does depend on your theme though, might be easier if you could post a site link?
Good luck!
I never had an issue with updating wordpress to 3.5 or updating bbPress so I would guess that it might be a plugin conflict, but I am not sure.
Have you tested deactivating certain plugins?
Hi there!
I hove that someone will help me with this problem. I get an error on topics pages:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::have_posts() in /home/jorjette/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/template-tags.php on line 181
On the bbpress file, the section look like this:
function bbp_replies() {
// Put into variable to check against next
$have_posts = bbpress()->reply_query->have_posts();
// Reset the post data when finished
if ( empty( $have_posts ) )
wp_reset_postdata();
return $have_posts;
}
Well the line 181 is :
$have_posts = bbpress()->reply_query->have_posts();
But I think the problem is how the function call the wp function wp_reset_postdata();.
What can I do to change or resolve the issue? Can be a bug in BBpress plugin? This problem appears when I update to WordPress 3.5
Does anybody have bbpress 2.0.3 they can send me? seems like its the last known version to work with the theme
Hi All
bbpress –> 2.2.3
wordpress –> 3.5
theme –> various
link to test site http://johnjack.co.uk/?forum=new-forum
I am finding that my forums are displaying in a post template, how do I change this to display using a page template instead?
Please help!!
I use bbpress plugins for the forums on my website, http://www.DearWendy.com. Since Monday morning when I updated to WordPress 3.5 and bbPress 2.2.3, my forums are not working properly. When logged in as an admin, they work fine for me, but anyone else who tried to post a message gets a 404 error. I’m pretty ignorant about these issues and have not been able to figure out hot to troubleshoot. Is there anyone who can help me?! Please??
Hi i just insalled bbpress to test it but i cant figure out whats wrong i just get a blank page
This is what ive dona so far: I installed the plugin–> created a forum–> created a page which i named forum–> entered the shortcode [bbp-forum-index]–> When i go to the front i see the page click it and up comes the forum i created when i then click the forum and i get the blank page…–> in the adressfield it says http://www.kanin.se/forums/forum/theforumicreated and the page i blank.
I have the latest wordpress and bbpress
feeling stupid for not seeing the possibly easy solution.
I have searched this forum and the webb even watched a 30 min video on the setup of bbpress didnt get any smarter.
Thanks for your help!
I’ve tried installing BBPress several times, but I guess I do something wrong because I keep getting this problem.
Like when I click on a topic, the “Your first topic” for example, I get
“The requested URL /forum/topic/1 was not found on this server.”
The URL seems okay, but I get the error so something’s wrong?
I can log in to BBPress, but when I go edit my account I get:
“The requested URL /forum/profile/1/edit was not found on this server.”
Again, the actual URL seems right.
I’m sure there’s something simple I’m missing, like I didn’t set something right in config, but I can’t find it. Any ideas?
Done as suggested @netweb – changed nothing. The activity streams of previous groups state correctly “XY started the forum topic ABC in the group 123” but the link to the topic is broken, returns a 404. All groups still return ‘This group does not currently have any forums.’ at /forum. Permalinks checked.
bbPress includes a conversion tool to import forums/topics/replies/users from some of the popular forum packages eg. bbPress or phpBB
There is an ‘example’ file also included as a ‘reference template’ that if your forum software is using a SQL database then you could easily modify this to be a custom importer by matching the correct database tables/fields etc
The file is called ‘example.php’ and is located in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin/converter
Update to the latest bbPress 2.2.3 and repeat step 7 in the guide at BuddyPress you linked to above.
Sounds great Darren would love to see it, feel free to Pimp your site here.
A plugin would be cool and like Jared there is much on my plate at the moment.
Similar to Martin’s method above I have been using a custom icon font and targeting each forum like so with CSS where in this case the forum id is 34.
.bbp-forum-34 i:before {
content: "\e112"; /* glyphicons_ */
}
I think this could be a great plugin. In fact, if memory serves correct, there was one like this for bbPress 1.x or 0.9.
There is just two main parts really. Optionally assigning icons to the Forums (which could either be a radio to select from a certain set or the featured image could be used to upload your own) and then the actual topics.
Wouldn’t be hard to execute. I’d actually love to do something like this as I think it would be fun, just don’t have the time at the moment.
I have Light Box Plus installed. I’m not a developer, I haven’t tried to implement anything like that on my own. You make it sound easy but for someone like me I’m sure that it’s not. 😀
Hi. I am trying to make a forum with Buddypress and BBPress (I clicked the install sitewide forums in Buddypress which installed BBPress), I am liking it so far, but I am definitely not liking how it puts the make new topic form (where the title and text entry form is) at the bottom of where the topics are, so people have to scroll down to make a new topic. I could keep that, but I would require a button to be at the top, or else the form, but I would prefer a button to make a new topic in the chosen category.
Is there a way to do this? I will need step by step instructions. I don’t know how to use this yet.
Please help
All I can see at the moment is this: https://codex.bbpress.org/type/actions/
I think the documentation is continually being worked on, but I believe the focus is more on the actual plugin at the moment, correct me if I am wrong anyone.
If you do find a list of great actions and hooks then share them! All it takes is for one person to go through, use them and help others out by posting their findings.
Good luck!
Forgot to put in the details: I’m running WordPress 3.4 and bbpress 2.2.3
Thanks Lynq! I should have stated clearer that I’m looking for more bbPress actions/hooks/filters pages. Are there pages like this for bbPress the page on Actions only describes 10 actions.
https://codex.bbpress.org/ seems to have articles about some functions and shortcodes but not hooks and filters.
It would be nice to see a table which contains every action/hook/filter/callback with the argument descriptions or what parameters the callbacks get. Currently Ive been trying to decipher the inline documentation of the core files. 😀
Hi everyone,
Im new to the worldpress plugin scene coming from a more oop like language like java that uses JavaDoc or Doxygen to describe stuff.
I was wondering how developers writing plugins are finding the hooks/actions/filters they need to solve something. I haven’t found http://codex.bbpress.org/ very helpful because its seems to only document a small collection of functions.
I haven’t found it easy because IDEs don’t tend to detect functional apis with their code completion engines. Is it just a matter of slowly grinding through all the core files trying to memorize all the functions and callbacks? I hope not.
