I am infinitely grateful to you

I’m migrating a forum from vbulletin to bbpress, after a lot of tests I managed to get everything working but the images of the old forum and the emoticons are transferred to the root ex: mysite.it/smile.gif
Do you know a way to set a specific folder or at least the folder where I am in vbulletin?
Thank you

the keymaster role is further down the profile – it is an additional role to the wordpress one.

If you have keymaster set for you, then it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

I am having the same problem. I have also installed BBpress forum and activated the plugin. It’s not showing up in the dashboard menu on the left. I am listed as a keymaster under User/Forum Roles. We do not have “keymaster” listed under Users as a role. Should I add it there as well?

that’s not code from bbpress.

In a forum that was made with Buddypress + BBpress I can do it normally

Example of forum that competes with mine

But in my forum that was created with Buddypress + BBpress I can’t paste the gif, how can I fix it?

I’m new to bbPress so please excuse what has been asked before, but a lot of the answers seem obsolete.

I’ve created several forums, with descriptions yet the descriptions never appear when a user views the forum. Various article I’ve read here suggest you have to go edit “your functions file” (see https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/) but when I search for bbpress.php, forum.php, etc. I can’t find them. There’s nothing under wp-content/themes/astra or anywhere else I can find. Anyone got any hints?

It’s frustrating that so much of the documentation on bbPress seems to have been written years ago and not necessarily updated as changes have been made.

My site is kusamurabonsai.org – but the forums are only visible to logged in users.
I’m running WP 5.7.2 and bbPress 2.6.6

Okay I installed that, so all the plugins were disabled. I enabled only the bbPress plugin and I checked and it still gave a 404 error. I then tried different themes including twenty twenty one and it still didn’t work..

Hi!
All my newly created forums are giving me this:
Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

What could be the issue?

Hi!
I need the “keep me signed in” with the tickbox to be in one line, not like it is at the moment. Can you please instruct me on how to fix it? I know nothing of CSS..

I have installed BBpress forum and activated the plugin. It’s not showing up in the dashboard menu on the left.

I tried un-installing and re-installing and it did not work.
I also tried deactivating all plugins except for BBpress and it still does not show up in the menu.
I also tried switching twenty one theme and still not showing.

Any ideas? My client’s website needs to be launched and a forum is a huge part of his site.

[Ricsca2]

I also noticed that if I marry a topic, the counters do not change and it remains counted in the old Forum and not in the New.
If you want by email I will send you the data of my site (closed) so you can check.
I was then able to import from vbulletin to bbpress. As soon as I have time I will write how I have done that will be of use to many.

@robin-w Installed your plugin on and have some feedback for you.

I had already solved the template problem with archives and singles.

Outside of Robin’s plugin, the trick to archives was to setup an archives template, use the Post Archive widget, and in the dropdown setting for the display, choose Full Content, instead of Classic, or Cards. That will output the BBPress forums.

Anyhow,Robin, the one place I was able to get to work were the user profiles, and your plugin fixed that for me. Once I had your plugin in place, the profiles started working. Of course, the plugin also broke all the work I did on the Elementor templates before I installed the plugin. It turns out, I don’t need to do any Elementor template work at all with your plugin.

The only issue is that all the BBPress pages render as 100% full width. I looked into /hell0-elementor-bbpress-fix/templates/bbpress.php to what I can do there. I noticed that there wasn’t any unique specificity in the class names within that template. All the class names are generic. My solve for this was to add the class “forum-container” to the class definition on Line 17.

This gave me something to target to handle the widths of the forum pages.

I imported a forum from vbulletin to bbpress. The Topis are all important and if I go to “View” from the administration I see them correctly and they also have the right category but if I go to see the forum category no Topics is displayed.
How can I do?
Thank you

[haddlyapis]

Hi there,
There is a setting in “Settings | Discussion”, Whereby you can set the amount of links a forum user can insert in the forum post:
“Hold a comment in the queue if it contains n or more links”.
I had set it to 2. I also have the plugin: “Image Upload for BBPress” installed, to enable users to upload images.
Unfortunately, when a user adds now e.g. 2 or more images, the post gets held for moderation. The same happens if the user enters one image and one hyperlink.
This is not the desired effect.
Can I report this as a bug plz?
kind regards
Daniel

Hi Robin,

thank you very much.

Currently it is not possible to make a nested reply on the first post of the topic. Only at the second post the nested reply works. I think that is not a concept of bbpress and has to do with the last wordpress update?

Kind regards

Hi, i’ve searched a lot but i didn’t find any answer. On bbpress website i’ve built 2 differnt type of forum, 1 is private and 1 is public. Now i need to deny access only to public forum to a certain wp user role (already set).
I think i have two ways, but how to do them?
1. Turn public forum to a private forum and automatically assign to a every new-subscriber the access to this forum, so i can exclude user assign them a different role.
2. Block the access only to public forum to a certain role (i’ve tried with many plugins as content control or user access registration but it seems that doesn’t work.)

Any suggestions? Even php code to implement for me would be ok. Thanks.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I am at my wits end trying to figure this out….

I would like to get people automatically redirected to a page inside the forum instead of the WP dashboard, but it is not working. Here is what I have done so far:

1. After they are accepted into the program, they are sent to our register page: https://arianegoodwin.com/curiosity-cocktails-register-here/

2. I did figure out redirect code for after they register so they see this page:

Log In

(this is the code snippet I used for this):
// Redirect Registration Page
function my_registration_page_redirect()
{
global $pagenow;

// Standard Registration Redirect
if ( (strtolower($pagenow) == ‘wp-login.php’) && (strtolower($_GET[‘action’]) == ‘register’) ) {
wp_redirect( home_url(‘/register/’) );
}

// Redirection after successful registration
if ( (strtolower($pagenow) == ‘wp-login.php’) && (strtolower($_GET[‘checkemail’]) == ‘registered’) ) {
wp_redirect( home_url(‘/forums/log-in/’) );
}
}

add_filter( ‘init’, ‘my_registration_page_redirect’ );

3. After they click on the link in their email to create their password, they are getting sent to the WP Dashboard and I need them to go to this page instead:

Curiosity Cocktails Topic Map

I have tried using Peters Login Redirect and that has not worked. I have also tried using this code inside the Snippets, which isn’t working either:

// Send new users to a special page
function redirectOnFirstLogin( $custom_redirect_to, $redirect_to, $requested_redirect_to, $user )
{
// URL to redirect to
$redirect_url = ‘https://arianegoodwin.com/forums/curiosity-cocktails-topic-map/’;
// How many times to redirect the user
$num_redirects = 1;
// If implementing this on an existing site, this is here so that existing users don’t suddenly get the “first login” treatment
// On a new site, you might remove this setting and the associated check
// Alternative approach: run a script to assign the “already redirected” property to all existing users
// Alternative approach: use a date-based check so that all registered users before a certain date are ignored
// 172800 seconds = 48 hours
$message_period = 172800;

/*
Cookie-based solution: captures users who registered within the last n hours
The reason to set it as “last n hours” is so that if a user clears their cookies or logs in with a different browser,
they don’t get this same redirect treatment long after they’re already a registered user
*/
/*

$key_name = ‘redirect_on_first_login_’ . $user->ID;

if( strtotime( $user->user_registered ) > ( time() – $message_period )
&& ( !isset( $_COOKIE[$key_name] ) || intval( $_COOKIE[$key_name] ) < $num_redirects )
)
{
if( isset( $_COOKIE[$key_name] ) )
{
$num_redirects = intval( $_COOKIE[$key_name] ) + 1;
}
setcookie( $key_name, $num_redirects, time() + $message_period, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN );
return $redirect_url;
}
*/
/*
User meta value-based solution, stored in the database
*/
$key_name = ‘redirect_on_first_login’;
// Third parameter ensures that the result is a string
$current_redirect_value = get_user_meta( $user->ID, $key_name, true );
if( strtotime( $user->user_registered ) > ( time() – $message_period )
&& ( ” == $current_redirect_value || intval( $current_redirect_value ) < $num_redirects )
)
{
if( ” != $current_redirect_value )
{
$num_redirects = intval( $current_redirect_value ) + 1;
}
update_user_meta( $user->ID, $key_name, $num_redirects );
return $redirect_url;
}
else
{
return $custom_redirect_to;
}
}

add_filter( ‘rul_before_user’, ‘redirectOnFirstLogin’, 10, 4 );

Good spot! I’m using a very old bbPress version in a project and can reproduce this error. Upgrade is not an option this time. Changing the second param to true fixes the error I’m getting.

[Robin W]

I’ve just taken a look at the front end restore.

The bbpress restore function calls a wordpress function wp_untrash_post which sets the restored status to ‘draft’.

I’m pretty sure that it didn’t used to do that, so am presuming it’s a wordpress change.

However if you are using

bbp style pack

then I’ve added a fix for this to the ‘bbpress bug fixes’ tab.

If you want code, then put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

Code Snippets

add_filter ('wp_untrash_post_status', 'rew_correct_untrash_status' , 10, 3) ;

function rew_correct_untrash_status ($new_status, $post_id, $previous_status) {
	$post_check = get_post( $post_id );
	//update_post_meta ($post_id , 'rew_type', $post_check->post_type) ;
	//if it's a reply or topic, then change status back to $previous_status
	if ($post_check->post_type == bbp_get_reply_post_type() || $post_check->post_type == bbp_get_topic_post_type()) {
		$new_status = $previous_status ;
	}
return $new_status ;
}
