Like from object… No more Ultimate TinyMCE (no more other button except wp default) in Fancy editor after latest (2.2) bbpress update :/
John I’d be more than happy to set up a linux VPS with wp.org installed with s2members and bbpress configured to reproduce the issue. If that would help you get a fix out sooner, let me know and I’ll get it up within a few minutes. Drop me an email at mark at wordfence dot com.

Thanks, I just came back to confirm that it’s S2Members related.
When I create a new user they can view the forum URL’s. But when I change their role to “s2Member level 2” or any s2 level, they instantly get 404’s on all forum pages.
Heading over to s2forums to try and find that post you mentioned.
@rossagrant – Not yet, need to write something up soon though.
There’s a topic in the S2Member forums that explains how to fix this. This is related to having customized roles and capabilities setup that bbPress isn’t looking in the database for any longer.
It probably sounds and feels counter-intuitive now, but the new roles and capabilities in bbPress 2.2 are actually intended to prevent these exact problems in the future. The forums roles and caps in bbPress 2.0 and 2.1 weren’t very cooperative, so everyone rolled their own.
Now that we’ve dialed it in, everything you’ve customized isn’t playing nicely anymore.
Unclear exactly what the *best* solution is for everyone, since every installation is different. Anyone want to volunteer to give me a peek into their installation and let me toy around?
Who said you weren’t being helpful?
Much of it is the same. You’ll want to focus on:
- turning the BuddyPress forums component Off
- the bbPress 1.1 import tool
- the BuddyPress settings in: Settings > Forums
For those <= 2.1.3 what parts should I focus upon to make them 100% accurate?
I’m happy to update the video to improve it for folks who need the same. Based on the comments to the video, it seemed to have been useful to the community and helped many folks out.
Just trying to help…
your feedback is greatly appreciated
They’re new in bbPress 2.2.
- Spectators can view the forum, but cannot contribute.
- Visitors are what you are before you become a participant. You have the same capabilities as a participant, but you haven’t participated yet.
Could probably remove/hide the Visitor role from display, since it’s not really useful for anyone to manually select it.
I don’t think this guide is 100% accurate anymore, so not worth keeping stuck until it’s corrected.
Mmmm…..
Maybe want to hang on to the sticky for a bit longer?
2.2 seems to have unleashed a wave of calls and emails to our office from folks having some troubles with the update… especially those running any plugins that worked with <= 2.1.3 … many of those plugins aren’t playing nice with 2.2
I’m going to be doing a bunch of testing and experimenting in the meantime, but for now many folks have a nice safe place to go with 2.1.3 while the new stuff shakes out on 2.2+
When our new video is ready, I’ll send it over to help out anyone with these growing pains.
Cheers!

If users show up as anonymous, and post_author’s are incorrect, then something was wrong with the migration script. You can try the Importer that comes with bbPress 2.2, but I’m not sure what “ImportForums” is to be much more helpful.
Jennifer,
Yes we’re using S2Member but nothing changed with that. The upgrade seems to have triggered it so perhaps it’s an incompatibility between s2member and 2.2.
After I downgraded to 2.1.3 I’m getting “You do not have permission to create new topics.” for any user including admin when they try to create a new topic. Looks like the 2.2 upgrade changed the DB schema making downgrade impossible?
So we’re between a rock and a hard place. I’m going to dive into the bbPress code because this is a production website supporting our security plugin. If you have any additional pointers like the s2member suggestion which was very helpful I’d very much appreciate them.
Regards,
Mark.

A small but annoying problem: when users (or admins) try to edit their replies, the page that loads does not seem to load properly. They have to leave frontend and go to the dashboard in order to do so, because only half the frontend edit page loads and there is no “update” button in sight. Am I the only one with that problem? Any advice? Thank you.
Thank you for your responses but I haven´t been able to fix the problem yet.
Unfortunatelly the embeeding is not working even using just the image or video url. It is only showing hyperlinks to the URLs.
As suggested by the codex embeds page I used the [embed]…[/embed] shortcodes with the same results.
By the way, I have wordpress “Auto-embeds” and bbpress “Auto-embed Links” checked
Any other idea on how to fix this problem?

Hi there! I also have the same issues. But it is affecting my pages also.
http://www.caiminds.com
For troubleshooting purposes when getting a “page not found” message:
From WP Admin > Forums, choose a public forum and click on View. Does the forum display correctly when accessed via the URL from the WordPress admin area?
From WP Admin > Topics, choose a public topic and click on View. Does the topic display correctly?
Do the same for Private and Hidden.
Are you running any plugins that change URL structures? Have you used any user/role management plugins, such as Members or s2Member?
Hi, I am also trying to convert buddypress to bbpress 2.2
but in the select platform (in tools Import forums) I can only see Example, vBulletin, Invision, phpbb. and bbPress1
am I missing something?
what do I choose to convert from BuddyPress?
thanks
Kris
it’s pretty simple… go here: https://bbpress.org/forums/ and see at the left panel, the number of topics… if the official website can handle thousands of threads, your site will… 🙂
it only depend on your hosting capabilities… if you have a very large database capability – check your support service for that – you have no problem…
That’s BuddyPress; check Settings > General > “Anyone can register” to enable user registration.
@kraigg: Check out the “View” link under one of your forums in WordPress Admin > Forums. Note that using the “View” link works; the difference between this URL and the one linked from /groups-shortcode/ is that the one that works ends in ‘forum’; the link from /groups-shortcode/ ends in ‘forums’.
In short: forums are there, but not where /groups-shortcode/ expects to find them. It looks like you have some sort of URL forwarding turned on so that when visiting a group, the first tab opened is the forum tab. However, it is should point to /forum/, not /forums/.

Your problem is quite old now and maybe you’ve already solved it. Anyway, I’ve just run into this problem, so I’ll describe it (for anyone who will experience it in the future).
How it behaves for most of the users (when it’s working):
1) Install WordPress (during installation, allow search engines to index your site).
2) Install Buddypress.
3) Intall Site Wide Forums (bbPress).
4) Create 2 users and create new bbPress forum.
5) Try the mention functionality on the forum -> the user will be correctly notified about being mentioned.
I’m almost sure this is the problem you’re describing:
1) Install WordPress (during installation, deny search engines to index your site).
2) Install Buddypress.
3) Intall Site Wide Forums (bbPress).
4) Create 2 users and create new bbPress forum.
5) Try the mention functionality on the forum -> the user will not be notified about being mentioned.
Another connected problem:
1) Install WordPress (during installation, allow search engines to index your site).
2) Change “WordPress address” and “Site Address” (this is not that unusual – especially when you’re moving your site from localhost to some valid place).
3) Install Buddypress.
4) Intall Site Wide Forums (bbPress).
5) Create 2 users and create new bbPress forum.
6) Try no mention one of the users -> the user will see the notification, but when he/she clicks on it, no mention will be displayed in the activity part.
To sum up:
– denying search engines from indexing your site will disable mention notifications from bbPress forums
– changing WordPress and site address after the installation leads to empty mention list in the activity part (however, the notification in the toolbar will be displayed).

My forum used to be setup so unregistered users could post but then I got hit with tons of spam and changed it. I thought it would automatically provide me with a user registration/login option, but things cant be that easy, right?
I need help with setting up the option for people to register before posting to my forum. I looked into buddypress, but didn’t think it was a good idea since I’m a newbie.
Info—
Under general settings, I have “anyone can register” checked, with new user role as “subscriber”.
The only forum settings unchecked are: Allow topic and reply revision logging, Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies, and Use the fancy WordPress editor to create and edit topics and replies. The default forum user role is participant.
No one is able to reply or post new topics and there is no option to login. It says, you must be logged in to reply or create new topics.
I am very new to coding and had a web developer friend of mine put together my site for me and teach me the basics. I am now at a point of teaching myself anything new. I’ve read all the wp/bbpress documentation and searched Google for weeks with no luck.
I would appreciate any help if anyone has time. Please be as specific as possible 🙂
I’ve also had to downgrade to 2.1.3 after getting reports from some users that they were seeing the page not found page on all pages under our /forums/
I’ve filed a trac ticket here:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2041
Copy and pasting the text:
After upgrading to 2.2 I got reports from certain users that they were seeing our page not found on all forum pages under the /forums/ URL including the base URL itself.
I logged in and tested it with my admin account and did not see it.
I created a normal user account and also could not repro.
I then signed in as that specific user and got a repro.
I then checked the network activity in Chrome and noticed that the site was sending a 200 HTTP code but serving up the standard 404 page. Which explains why I wasn’t seeing any 404’s in my web server error log.
Note that our forums are accessed via HTTPS so this may help you repro.
I downgraded to 2.1.3 and instantly the issue was fixed.
I haven’t noticed any heuristic with the user account that I managed to repro on. I even checked the cookie string to see if there was something odd about that users cookies, but didn’t notice anything.
hi,
i maintain a non-profit forum with a userbase that will create 1-2 million entries a year. will bbpress be able to handle that? what forums with high volume do you know that use bbpress?
thank you so much for creating this software! 🙂
