Hi Sydney,

I’ve beendoing extensive testing this week to prepare anupdate to the video, and find I get similar results regarding group forums. I will be releasing my results and suggestions in a new video here ASAP.

 

In the meantime, I suggest you consider leaving legacy group forums “as is” for now.

Hi Jared,

Just what I was looking for thanks.

Hi

doesn’t work for me either, although I see the tinyMCE on forum posts, I can not upload pics and place them inline afterwards. This is crucial to my project. I tried the bbpress GD attachements-plugin but that won’t allow for inline-placing images.

Please please help!!!

Same issue here after updating to 2.2.2.

The roles are quite confusing, because they all seem to have more or less the same permissions. I tried to change permissions using the User Role Editor plugin, but it didn’t work. After saving my changes and reloading the page, the permissions seem to have been reverted somehow.

I have some private forums which should be invisible to standard users (participants). This works fine with bbPress 2.1.

You can subscribe by RSS to any bbPress install if that is of any help

Thanks for the tip. I didn’t realize that there were this much of plugins available for bbPress. The one you mentioned is not that practical. I’ve found “bbPress Notify”. Not ideal either, but it saves me from having to add all users myself. It would be nicer if people could subscribe themselves to the notifications. But for now I’m happy.

Hi Stephen,

http://www.awesomestyles.com/bbpress-themes/view/businesslike

Thank you!

[Stephen Edgar]

This should help you to get going https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

I am a newbie, just installed wordpress and bbpress plugin. How do I install theme in bbpress 2.2.2???

I tried placing the theme files in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/ but I dont see how I can change or activate this theme…

Can someone please help..I’ve spend 6 hrs and still cant figure this out. Much appreciated!!!

Thanks!

On a multi-site network with Buddypress, intending to use site-wide forums only, should bbPress be network activated or activated only on the parent domain level?

[vechnost]

I cant setup bbpress forum also. There is no option in menu!
Please check as blog.
I just tired from try set up it. Other forum WP plugins looks not so pretty as this one, but still trouble to make it working.

Adding memory to the WordPress config will not work for every host. Again, it is best you ask your host to bump this up for you.

[Stephen Edgar]

A few others are also having issues with WPML https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/conflict-with-wpml/

[Stephen Edgar]

– Create a page in WP called ‘new-topic’
– Check the page slug/permalink is what you are after eg. http://example.com/new-topic/
– Add the bbPress shortcode [bbp-topic-form] to the page
– Click Publish
– Publish a link to the new page where needed

[DonnZhou]

Thanks for all the replies. My host’s limit for me is 128. Even after editing wp-config.php it still gives me an error: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 7680 bytes)

Thanks.

Sorry to be taking over this topic. I had just directed everyone with Members/bbPress issues here to follow along with any developments.

It was much easier to simply look at the code than to read the explanation, but I figured out the issue and just pushed an update for Members plugin users live. So, JJJ, if you run into any questions from my users about this, tell them to update Members to version 0.2.2+.

If nothing else, I got a lot of useful ideas. 🙂

Has anyone managed to turn on the new bbPress forums in legacy BuddyPress groups? (….including legacy BuddyPress groups which didn’t have an old-style forum?)

Or is this a bug?

[SydneyDesigner]

Hi Spence,

I’ve now removed all my legacy forums database tables, so I tried what you suggested above, but instead changing the privacy settings of the legacy groups themselves. It didn’t fix it.

So I still cannot find a way of turning on the new bbPress forums in legacy BuddyPress Groups. Anyone with a solution please post.

[Justin Tadlock]

I actually have some ideas about fixing this after reading through your WP Ticket #22361. I’m pretty sure I have a good solution that I can implement on my end anyway.

Morning all,

I’m just in the process of doing a fresh wordpress + buddypress install.
All is going well for the most part with the exception of the global forums.
So I enabled Group forums, and thats going fine.
I then enabled Global forums and it ran through what seemed like a bbPress install.
All fine (with the exception of bbPress trying to use the same slug ‘forums’, but that was an easy one.
Now: To create a dedicated page/tab for the global forums is there a short-code I can simply add to a new page?
Also, nothing from the global forums seem to be appearing in the members activity stream. Is that normal?

Cheers
Jase

I found out there is some kind of incompatibility with the WPML plugin and when I deactivate it, the Forums, Topics and Replies in the admin area are visible again.

I’ve raised a ticket in the WPML forum to see if they can help. I am aware that older versions of both plugins (bbpress and WPML) worked fine together. The WPML forum itself is supossely implemented with both plugins.

Let’s see if it can be solved soon.

@Hangout: are u using WPML?

Regards,

Julio

While I certainly understand WordPress’ failings in the user/role/cap department, this update to bbPress has caused a major issue. See, for folks who have been using role-editing plugins (such as my Members plugin), they’re now getting errors because of “dynamic roles”.

This update messes up other plugins that work with the system WordPress has in place (editable roles). Now, I’m stuck with support questions, emails, and forum posts asking why my plugin is broken when bbPress introduced this problem. This is a major issue that should probably be resolved soonish because many of the users of my Members plugin are going to hit this issue as they update their bbPress installs. The two plugins previously worked in perfect harmony. In fact, many bbPress users started using Members to have the level of control they needed for their forums.

Admittedly, I haven’t dug into the code yet. But, I’m guessing the problem with a role-editing plugin and bbPress is that the bbPress roles cannot be edited, which was standard functionality before. Since bbPress is modifying the overall [editable] roles array, there’s no way for my plugin to separate the two sets of roles (editable, WordPress-style roles vs. dynamic, bbPress-style roles).

Obviously, I could write some bbPress-specific code in my plugin to overcome this issue, but why should I? That means I’d have to keep up with bbPress role updates to make sure I stay in line with this new system. Plus, this sets precedence for other plugins to use this same, dynamic roles system.

I think bbPress should stick to doing what it does best: being an awesome forum plugin. Leave the role/cap stuff to plugins meant to handle this sort of thing. At the very least, it would’ve been nice to give a heads up to plugin authors who maintain role-editing plugins.

I’m not against the ideas presented with dynamic roles (I’m actually intrigued by it), but let’s wait for WordPress to catch up if this is the direction it’ll eventually go in.

I’ll definitely be looking into the issue further, but I’ve got a busy schedule at the moment.

Look for tr.odd td and tr.even td in your bbpress.css

[Jared Atchison]

Yeah I’d reinstall the latest version. Something is definitely screwy.
