Hi guys,
I upgraded to the latest version of bbPress and now I can’t seem to make Hidden or Private boards. When I make one and try to click on it, it cannot find the page (brings me to 404).
Could it be something wrong with my user roles?
Any help would be appreciated.
First thing I would check would be your theme. Temporarily switch to TwentyTen and see if the problem still exists.
Hmm, if the tags are being stripped, there is a chance a plugin is doing that.
bbPress by default uses the WordPress wpautop on all content which automagically handles the paragraph tags. There isn’t anything in core that should strip tags unless those tags aren’t allowed in normal posts. What tags are being stripped? It sounds like even the base paragraph tags are being stripped, which shouldn’t be the case unless you ahve wpautop disabled via a plugin.
John James Jacoby-> Thank you so much for your piece of code! It’s so useful to have the the enhanced visual editor available in BBPress.
However, 2 issues appeared when I try to use the editor.
1. Smilies do not work
2. BBPress does not preserve and tags for normal users and therefore all the breaks are deleted and if the post is etited it just creates WALLOFTEXT…
Is there any way to fix these two issues?
I have problem with permalinks.
Where are two things Forums base and forum slug what is the difference between?
I want to make main forum link like: http://127.0.0.1/webpage/forum/
and inside links must be like http://127.0.0.1/webpage/forum/topic/the-topic-name
Why I cant do this ? :/
My configuration:
1. Forum base: Forum
2. Forum slug: Forum
3. Prefix your forum area with the Forum Base slug (Recommended): checked
The links are like:
Go to forum “forum name” link: http://127.0.0.1/website/forum/forum/forum-category-name/forum-name
Go to topic of “forum name” link: http://127.0.0.1/website/forum/topic/topic-name-of-forum-name
Can I avoid double forum/forum ?
If I unchek “Prefix your forum area with the Forum Base slug (Recommended)” it shows links:
All the links are ok but except only topic links: http://127.0.0.1/website/topic/topic-name-of-forum-name
It shows without “forum”… maybe you have any solution? :/
Thank you!
@John James Jacoby, Thanks again for that tip. I already had a similar genesis buddypress plugin smoothing out the integration. I had bbpress activated at only one subdomain on my multi-site. I determined that if I configured bbPress through Buddypress instead of as a stand-alone plugin, then I didn’t get the weirdness. However, that leads to a new question I can’t find the answer to: for bbPress sitewide forums, do I network activate (its a multi-site installation) or do I activate only at the main domain site?
Wordpress 3.4.2
bbPress 2.2.2
I have a serious problem I haven\’t been able to find help for. When I post a topic or reply it doesn\’t show right away. I then check from another computer and it WILL show, but if I reply from that computer I don\’t see my reply. Sometimes I may or may not see the reply on Computer 1. No matter how many times I reload the page it doesn\’t show until I empty browser caches, login out and back in and then sometimes the new topic will appear but not the replies, or some replies but not others. Checking the dashboard I can see the items are all created, just not showing in the forum.
To recap, my topics or replies for bbPress don\’t show up when I or other forum users make them and I can\’t figure out why. Please please help.
Hi, we have a problem and we are not sure how we can fix it.
Since we are on BBPress 2.2.2, BBPress dont display the “initial” message from every thread.
Example :
Subject 1 – Body 1 ( initial message)
Subject 1 – Body 2 ( answer to)
The ONLY role that is able to see all message is Administrator.
All others will always see only the answer and never the question…
We try pretty much all kind of combinaison…
This is really huge for us because since the move to 2.2.2, nobody can really read new subjects.
Can you tell us how to fix this ?
Thanks!
Anthony
I would love to keep all my website content in my native language.
I use a plugin “Simple Local Avatars” to allow my forum users to upload their avatars. I have translated the plugin myself and the translation works perfectly in ‘my profile’ section in WordPress’ dashboard.
However, on bbpress’ profile page the avatar upload section is still in English. Why doesn’t BBPress see the translation and how to make the BBPress see it?
Sorry iPad…”in your theme that doesn’t “
No,
the solution is to fix the one page template in your parent theme spit doesn’t hijack the content area and force an excerpt to appear (because there is one with bbPress!)
likely there is a conditional on the page.php template in that theme looking if page is single… See my other post link above.
Im from Chicago, but many of my pals are Serbian 🙂
I have BuddyPress and BBPress installed
I have the setting for the replies set to five along with the topics created in the forum settings. When looking at the topics created it shows the page links and will display the next page and so on. It works like I would expect it to.
On the replies created it shows the first five and the page links but when I go to the next page to see replies created (6 thru 11)it just shows the page with no replies. The area where they would show up is blank. I have 18 replies generated and they will all show on the first page if I set the replies setting to 20.
Can someone point me in the right direction as to what I need to look for and where.
One more thing:
User profile was causing a problem where navigation was pushing down summary of topics and replies. Add this CSS to fix:
#bbpress-forums .bbp-user-section {
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
}
I ran a test site and figured it out for you… or anyone who is having same issue.
It seems that the bbp-user-section class needs the attribute of “inline-block” in order to properly float to the right of the profile navigation. Also I had to force it to go 100% width (it picked up the 68% from somewhere else)
Use this CSS:
#bbpress-forums .bbp-user-section {
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
}
I have one more question. Do I need all the time to add shortcodes?
I mean, if I create 5 new forums, do I need to put this shortcode [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]?
How I could know which is id of forums?
Can you be more specific? What do you mean a “link” to the admin area? To administer bbPress, you simply login like you do in WordPress.
Or do you mean in the backend WordPress, you do not see “forums”, “topics”…etc?
Oh, God, I it works, when I add shortcode to a blank page.
Hvala, mnogo. 🙂
BTW. Where are you from? 🙂
Zdravo!!
Ok, that helps.
First suggestion:
What happens if you use shortcodes to create a forum index? https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
Take the shortcode of: [bbp-forum-index] and add it to a blank page.
Does that create a visible forum index?
If so, then your problem imho is that your theme is hijacking the content area in a way that prevents the new bbPress code from working. As such, the solution would be found most likely in your theme’s page.php or similar, where the default archive pages are created. I don’t have access to the Gonzo theme since it is on ThemeForest ;-(
but you can see in my recent post, we fixed a similar solution for Canvas 5 from WooThemes. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/non-functional-index-page-when-bbpress-2-1rc4-is-used-with-woothemes-canvas-5-05/
If not, then please share the link to the page where you posted the shortcode so I can see the underlying output.
Hvala!

This is url of forum, anyway site isn’t on english.

Hi, I installed bbPress on my WordPress site, but when I add forums, and try to open one of them, I get blank page?
How I can fix that?
Thx for getting back on this. To clarify, the results DO NOT show up in the standard WordPress search, only if I add the bbPress results to is by using a bbPress search plugin.
These use the provided results from bbpress, and I understand now that this is an database with all data in it, not specified by private and open. So for me now it is a question of making each comment for group read access or giving no option to search in forum until you have embedded an official search in bbPress?
Sydney,
what happens if you try to change the privacy setting of a legacy group forum? Save it as private (or opposite of what it was), and then change it back. Save permalinks just for good measure, then reload.
This is a long-shot idea…
Hi Gang,
well…. this one through me for a loop today as well, when moving our WooThemes Canvas for bbPress & BuddyPress site for a test drive on bbPress 2.2 ( http://labsecrets.com/demo/canvas-commerce )
The individual forums would work fine, but the main forum index was rendering what looked like a post excerpt, with everything jumbled into a single paragraph.
Solution was actually rather simple. If you are using a child-theme in Canvas (you ARE using a child-theme I hope?? 😉 ) simply make a copy of the content-page.php file from parent, and put it into your child-theme folder.
Next, change the entry div as shown, to modify the current conditional check to ALSO see if you are on a bbPress page. Without this extra bit, it assumes that you want the page to show the_excerpt() on every page other than single.php …. not true. We want full content on bbPress pages as well 😉
<div class="entry">
<?php
/* If this is a bbPress page show full content not exerpt */
if ( ! is_singular() && (! is_bbPress()) ) {
the_excerpt();
} else {
the_content(__('Continue Reading →', 'woothemes') );
}
wp_link_pages( $page_link_args );
?>
</div><!-- /.entry -->
With this simple mod, all is well and now the native forums index works, and so does building a custom page with shortcode. Ta da!
See: http://labsecrets.com/demo/canvas-commerce/forums/
Ok going to bed… The plugin works fine… What was throwing me off was that when you scrolled the new button on the top navigation bar the option to add new topic was not there. You actually had to click on the forum and then post new topic. Sorry for the confusion….
