Hi Lynq,

Bummer! I activated your little plugin, but this didn’t do the trick. Still not getting email notifications.

I’m thinking the problem must be specific to BBPress since the primary WP emails are going out just fine.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks for the above JJJ.

I’m using WP3.4.2, BuddyPress 1.6.1 and bbPress 2.2.2.

As you recommended above, I have turned off the BP forums component and turned on BP in Settings> Forums. But I can only get the bbPress group forums to work with new BP groups that I create now (i.e. after loading bbPress 2.2.2). And I have a stack of old BP groups that I wish to add new forums to.

Do I need to use the bbPress 1.1 import tool to turn on the bbPress group forums for pre-existing BP groups? If so, perhaps you could guide me on how to do this please. (I don’t actually need to import any old BP group forums.)

Many thanks.

I’ve activated the plugin, and here is what it looks like:

It looks like there is a filter you might be able to use to create a plugin

function bbp_get_topic_caps() {
return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_topic_caps', array (
'edit_posts'          => 'edit_topics',
'edit_others_posts'   => 'edit_others_topics',
'publish_posts'       => 'publish_topics',
'read_private_posts'  => 'read_private_topics',
'read_hidden_posts'   => 'read_hidden_topics',
'delete_posts'        => 'delete_topics',
'delete_others_posts' => 'delete_others_topics'
) );
}

Nice! Found the plugin bbPress Genesis Extend. I’ll give it a try.

Hi folks,

I’m using BBPress over at raisingharmony.com/forums/. It is a premium content area, meaning you can’t access the forum without proper login credentials. I would be happy to provide some if it would assist in troubleshooting. My trouble is that when people checkmark the checkbox that says, “Notify me of follow-up replies via email,” they aren’t getting the email.

Couple of notes:

(1) I’m using WordPress 3.4.2.
(2) I’m using BBPress 2.1.2.
(3) The PHP mail() function works just fine on the rest of the site.
(4) My only modification to the plugin is that in the /wp-content/plugins/forums/bb-includes/bbp-common-functions.php file, I’ve updated the bbp_check_for_floodI() function to return “True” every time, but this shouldn’t be affecting the email functionality in any way.

Just googling around and looking on this forum, it looks like other people have complained about this 13 months ago, but nobody ever posted an answer other than, “Cool, it’s working now.”

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Martyn Chamberlin

Hello, can anyone tell me which file/s create this page: First page of bbPress Forums
and this page: Second page of bbPress Forums, a category page of forums?

I want to create a page that looks like the second page, but has all categories on it and I think I can figure it out if someone points me to which files I could copy functions out of.

I saw an old thread of people looking to set their bbPress forums up like phpBB3, has it been done? ‘Cause that’s what I’m looking to accomplish here and I’m willing to share the template once I get done.

@annie-s-spratt – Link to your site?

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks Michael, this will be fixed in the next release.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2072

[maineyak]

Ok I submitted a ticket. I rolled back to the last version and everything is fine, so it was the latest update.

[Stephen Edgar]

@HistoryHouse The codex document you linked to is for the old ‘legacy standalone’ version of bbPress, not the new plugin version.

This is what you are looking for (I think) https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks, could you please submit a new ticket over in trac with some details of your multisite setup and steps to reproduce this.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

[maineyak]

I had everything set up fine, Until this last update. When a member creates a new blog when bbPress is activated, they are only granted participant status to their blog, so they cannot even access their dashboard. I deactivated all plugins to make sure in fact it was bbPress that was causing this, and it is. When I deactivate bbPress, they can access their dashboard, and are granted Administrator status. I just happened to be testing new accounts today, and realized this was happening. I did just update bbPress to the latest, so I’m assuming it was due to this latest update, as it was working fine before.

What can I do to fix this?

How does google authorship sync with bbPress? Is the topic creator/question asker credited with authorship or the first responder?

For the site I’m planning to incorporate bb Press on, attributing to first responder would be helpful.

Thoughts, answers?

[rsanchez1]

The email that bbPress sends out when a user posts a new reply in a topic has the link to the reply, and then tells you that you can unsubscribe in the topic page. I think it would be good if it had an unsubscribe link in the email itself, so users can just click that link and would be unsubscribed instead of having to go to the forum, possibly logging in, and then finding the unsubscribe button.

[rsanchez1]

You are not using a unique page template yet?

What bbPress does is that it looks for certain template files in the theme’s directory. If it finds them, it uses them. If it doesn’t find them, then it uses default fallbacks. The template file for the forum front page is “forums.php”. You could add this file to your theme and have it not include a sidebar. When you install the bbPress plugin, it has twentyten-compatible template files that would be a good starting point to look at.

[HistoryHouse]

If someone could just guide me please (I’m returning to bbPress after a confused time with it pre-plugin days).

Plug-in installed OK and it was easy (thanks!). The forum is using my blog page layout which has a widget controlling the right sidebar (my own theme design adapted from blankslate).
http://www.historyhouse.co.uk/historynews/

The test page works fine (apart from it’s too wide – but I can solve that.)

Problem is I want it to have its own unique page template (not using the sidebar widget). Probably something like this template I created.
http://www.historyhouse.co.uk/historynews/history-of-ashen-my-ancestors

In my stumbling I thought a child theme may have been the answer so I looked the below page but the bbpress version number is not the same. Besides it didn’t seem to work for me.
http://codex.bbpress.org/legacy/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/

So in a nut shell. How can I make it use the template in my second example?

Thanks in advance and be gentle with me 😉

HELP! I have been searching everywhere for help on how to do this, and I can’t seem to find anything that actually helps me. I have a forum made, but I really want it to show up in the navigation bar as a ‘page’ so the public can easily access it. I am using the ZeeStyle theme, WordPress 3.4.2, and bbPress 2.2.

I am pulling out my hair because I’ve been looking for days on how to do this and nothing has helped. If someone out there can help me, I will jump for joy and be extremely thankful!

Oh, and please try to give me the simplest way possible, because I am new at this website making thing!

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

[royho]

Thanks for the reply however I don’t have such dropdown. The only dropdown I see is the default WordPress role dropdown and not one specific for bbPress.

[MacItaly]

Hi Stephen,
and thanks for answer.
I’ll try the solution proposed in that thread (I tried to look out before post here but without a search function I wasn’t able to find out that thread) even if seems more oriented on SP 4.+ and BBPress 1.+, hope that works anyway.
In any case if, as you say, isn’t so difficult to adapt the existent importer (and seems that there is enough need of this), what about someone skilled, to integrate this feature to the “native” function?
I’ll update with results of the operation.
Thanks

Hi, I’ve done searching and couldn’t find anything related specifically to my issue with bbpress… I’m running the latest bbpress with WordPress 3.4.2 for my forum on my blog.

My forums are located here: http://wrtapps.com/forums/
The problem is the title of the forums page below the menu bar. It shows the title as “General discussion” which so happens to be the last forum page I saved in my dashboard. Previously it was showing the title as “Troubleshooting”… How do I change this to a custom title?

Thanks!

[frenzis73]

Widget and shortcode are not so “themable” like I would. WP_QUERY is right, but then I cannot use bbp_* in my file.

What I want is use every BBP Functions inside my, eg, single.php: show author, show forums, show topic simple calling bbp_**

How bbp_has_forums() works? It loads the functions ouside the BBP pages?

Regards, Francesco.

I noticed a recent bbPress update touted improved Multisite flow support – any progress on this issue?

Doesn’t look like it from my initial testing, but fingers are crossed hoping something official is in the works.

Can anyone tell me to go about creating additional fields for my users to fill in upon signing up? Right now users only seem to need to provide a name and an email address. I would like to create a database of users’ addresses, phone numbers, profession… things like that.

So how to I make it available for users to add this type of information when they sign up?

I’m using the most recent versions of WP and BBpress as of Nov 27 2012

Thanks in advance for any help.

When new forums are created, they display with an attribution to the forum creator. That is not something I want for forums; topics yes but not forums. Is this being done by bbPress or is it my theme (Genesis – News) doing it?
