I’m having issues with this using 2.2 of the bbPress. I did edit the line you suggested but I don’t believe that it’s being handled in the same spot in the new release. Any thoughts?
@johnjamesjacoby
I’m guessing I’ve just had an entirely different perspective. Many of my users are bbPress users. I don’t think I’ve once had a question regarding an issue between Members and bbPress. They just worked and everyone was in Happy La-la Land. 🙂
I definitely agree that multiple roles is the way to go. I just wish WordPress would support this in the UI for users out of the box or at least make it easier for us to do it. I’m not sure I’m sold on un-editable roles because some people just want to edit the caps of the bbPress roles. Of course, I deal with a higher number of people who like to dig in and get dirty with their WordPress installs.
Oh, definitely send over your feature requests for bbPress. I’m hoping to push out a major update for it early 2013.
@labsecrets
Cool. I’ll have to check it out.
Something wrong with your web page, because then I want to load another page on loading it blinks once.
Ok, maybe this is by design. I see the same thing on  profiles here at bbpress.
Replies meaning both topic start posts and reply posts that is.
Perhaps it would be better to use the “Posts Created” or simply Posts instead of  “Replies Created” .
Have you followed the Import Forums guide on the Codex? If so; where did you get stuck?
I’m running bbPress on a WordPress Multisite install. Whenever a user with super admin rights attempts to create a new site (through /wp-signup.php, from the primary site), bbPress throws a PHP error.
Warning: array_keys() expects parameter 1 to be array, boolean given in/home/admin/public_html/beeforums.net/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/capabilities.phpon line 453Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/admin/public_html/beeforums.net/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/capabilities.php on line 453
The site creation completes successfully and there is no evidence that there is anything wrong. The errors are not shown when a non-superadmin creates a new site.
I’ve been able to reproduce this on two network installs, but they’re both on the same server so I’m not sure if this is caused by something specific on that server.
Can anyone reproduce?
I’m running both on Multiple sites with no problems.
Is there anything with specific details in your PHP error logs?
Hey, I installed bbPress just for some few minutes ago. And when I activated the plugin I got an 500 internal server error. So I deactivated all plugins via my database, and activated bbPress then activated one plugin a time. It all went good until I activated Jetpack, then I got the 500 internal server error again. Is there some way I can make (you can make) those plugins compatible? – I kind of want both of them… 🙂
hello!
i am searching for a forum plugin for a site that i am creating at the moment and bbPress seems to be what i am looking for.
i only have one question:
i want to create two forums on my site. one where anonymous posts are and enabled and another one where they aren’t.
is this possible?
regards,
michael
I’m glad I was able to delete the plugin.
My website went down after I installed the plugin.
Fatal error: Call to undefined method WP_Query::is_main_query() in /home/content/39/8214039/html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/template-functions.php on line 282
I have filled out all the information correctly, and when I click Start, it tells me:
No posts to convert-
No tags to convert-
No topics to convert-
No forums to convert parents-
No forums to convert-
I have a standalone BBpress 1.02 installation, on a different database than my WordPress installation. But all on the same server.
I would like to update my old forum, because its now being attacked by spambots every day. I want to bring all my users and content over to my new BBPress 2.2.2 installation.
How do I do that?
@greenshady – Thanks for chiming in. Your Members plugin has always been our go-to while we sorted out Role/Capability issues in bbPress core.
Since 2.0, getting them dialed in and playing nicely with WordPress and Multisite has been a challenge. Creating update scripts for new functionality has a tendency to leave things in a semi-broken state, with some sites behaving, others not so much, and leaving users of bbPress powered communities sometimes wondering why certain functionalities of their accounts don’t work anymore.
Also, why can’t a blog Editor also be a Forum moderator? These are problems that should be solved with multiple roles, not with mapped blanket ‘moderator’ super capabilities like we tried to do previously.
I can’t say that storing roles and capabilities in the database is the entire problem, but moving to a dynamic setup like we have now all but eliminates the issues we’ve had the past year or so.
I appreciate you investigating things and updating Members. I haven’t had a chance to check out the updated version, but I have about a million feature requests for it. 🙂
Number of topics listed for each forum on my /forums page is not matching the number of topics in the forum!
It’s a recently installation so I only have 3 topics. and it’s saying there are 2…
I’m using the latest versions of wordpress and bbpress
Thanks!
I created a child theme for buddypress and installed the sitewide forums. When I went to check how it looked. It’s just blank with links. You can see it here http://elusivebuck.com/community
Hi I was wondering what version of bbPress is in the GlotPress (here) I’m pretty sure it’s behind.
I’m trying to complete the Dutch one but in the reference files I see its referencing wrong (thus old?) folders like `bb-admin` instead of `admin`.
Also when using the `.pot` file that comes with bbPress it shows 952 strings while an exported version from the glot only shows 927 strings.
Is there any indication when the Glot gets updated? If it does get updated soon I will complete the Dutch Translation.
Not sure if you guys are still struggling, this far down the line. But in case you come back to the thread, we’ve created a video that will make it easy for you:

#GatorESG,
for your theme, you need to use this instead (your content is contained in a differently named div:
body.bbPress #sidebar {display:none;}
body.bbPress #main {width: 100%;}
Cheers!

Hello,
I’ve been trying to set this up myself, but couldn’t do it.
I’m trying to modify the widgets bbpress comes from.
The idea is to “tune” the “Recent replies” and “Recent topics” widgets to add a new option.
I want to be able to select the “parent forum” in those two widgets as it is possible in “Forums list” widget.
This way I can choose wich forum’s recent replies/topics I show in my sidebar.
I have different sidebars depending on the section users are, so this would be useful to be able to show content related to what they are viewing.
Can somebody give me a hand on this?
Thank you very much! 🙂
text-decoration: none; will remove underline.
You can do this inside your bbpress css file, just apply it to the correct element.
Good luck.
I would suggest doing a google search for css dropdown menus – Once you know how you want to create your dropdown menu, then you can edit your bbPress 0r WordPress theme to add the menu in.
Good luck!
