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).

bbpress 2.2.
twenty-eleven theme
wp 3.4.2

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.

Are there any docs on the new dynamic user roles JJ?

Cheers mate!

[I.g.C.]

The TwentyTen files were pulled out of bbPress core. I’ll be releasing it as a plugin this week, for anyone that still wants the old table-based templates.

I’ve made a lot of CSS work on that template but i choose it just because it has a single column base. Is there an option to not-show the sidebar with theme compat? If there ins’t I think it would be a great add

thank you guys 🙂

Anyone knows why it’s telling me this when I click the “Register” button on the site? My main purpose for using BBpress is to be able to have users register.

Any ideas?

I’m using:
WP Version 3.4.2
BBPress Version 1.6.1
Here is my link:

Thanks in advance guys.

Hi Jennifer,

Thanks for looking into it for me. Here’s a live sample URL of my website http://www.citymoose.com/showcase/websites/ridbcandme (newadmin | newadmin)

To answer your questions:
Have you refreshed permalinks by visiting Settings > Permalinks?
Yes, I’ve gone into Settings > Permalinks and re-saved the permalink (/%postname%/)

Are only your BuddyPress group forums not displaying correctly? If you have sitewide forums, are those working?
I don’t have any sitewide forums, only BuddyPress group forums, but I’m using the standalone bbPress plugin, rather than the bbPress plugin that comes with BuddyPress. Unfortunately no forums are working

Does BuddyPress have a Forums tab in Settings > BuddyPress?
No, I haven’t enabled the forum setting in BuddyPress. I’m using the standalone bbPress plugin for the forums

If yes, BuddyPress is trying to handle your group forums using its internal (older) version of bbPress.

Is “Allow BuddyPress Groups to have their own forums” checked in Settings > Forums?
Yes, this is still checked

If yes, then bbPress is trying to handle the Group Forums. Have you imported your Group Forums using Tools > Forums > Import?
Yes to the first question. I haven’t tried importing the Group Forums using Tools > Forums > Import. The forums were all working prior to upgrading to bbPress 2.2

I kind of follow what you are asking but in no way can I offer you a solution sadly (I wish I could but alas I am still learning).

I hope this article can may help in the direction you want to go though with custom queries and bbPress.

@Alain,I have replied to the thread you started here as this is not related to any bugs with bbPress 2.2.

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress does not currently support subscribing by email for anonymous users and as you point out there are no plugins (as at the time this posted) to perform this task either.

You have a couple of options: Write a plugin yourself, get someone else to write the plugin for you or submit a ‘feature request’ at https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ explaining in detail the feature you want to see in future versions of bbPress.

Hello !

Nobody for my question ???

Why any visitor can open a topic and write a response, while only REGISTERED users (username + password) will have access to the box for reply notification by mail?

I would like the mail notification is ok for all users, registered and not registered users.
To date, no response obtained in any forum, and no plugin found …

Is it possible to have a new version with this option in the panel settings, plaese ?

Best regards
Alain

A solution was reached by disabling TinyMCE and installing a plugin called “bbPress Post Toolbar”

[John James Jacoby]

No database connectivity. I suspect something else besides bbPress is broken.

[John James Jacoby]

Also, there is no bbPress 2.2.1 yet; it’s what comes next to address any bugs in 2.2.

[Mike3853]

hello,
after the latest bbpress update my forums don’t work (when you click a forum topic, there are no posts or replies) and my navigation bar is also gone, along with my logo. It seems something has broken the buddypress system, I even use the default bp theme. http://msflights.net/forums/forum/general-discussion If you click any of the topics, there are no replies, it is just blank once it loads up.

What should I do to fix this?
thanks
