In case anyone else is looking for the answer to this, the delightful Pippin directed me to a free plugin that works with Restrict Content Pro to allow this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/restrict-content-pro-bbpress/

Hey,

I’m running Version 3.4.2 of WordPress, with Version 2.1.2 of bbPress.
When I’m logged into the site as a Forum Participant, I can see the forums and topics, but when I actually click on the topics to view the content (i.e. the actual topic post and replies), all that appears is “This topic contains 0 replies, has 1 voice, and was last updated by…” as well as the “Reply” form underneath that. The actual posts and replies don’t appear.

However, when I’m logged in as an administrator, I am able to see everything (it all functions normally).

Do you know why a normal forum user can’t see posts and replies? How can I go about fixing the issue?

Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers,
Laura.

Hi, I have Restrict Content Pro installed, and I’m trying to work out how to use this with bbPress to develop a subscription-based forum where users can subscribe to particular forums and only have access to those. I can’t see how to do this though … any clues? Some of these would be free (but restricted to certain types of user); some would be paid. Any help much appreciated! 🙂

i installed bbpress inside buddypress and i created a menu for my system(i’m creating a forum like a vanilla forum[exactly like that! even better!]). but i have to change some features of my menu in different pages. in a simple not recommended way i can have my menu codes in every single page. but i can have it in a more modular way! in this case i can have a function who checks which page i’m in so call the particular menu for current active page. i mean sth like this:

if (active page is profile page) 
     codes for profile page menu 
else if (active page is topics page) 
     codes for topics page menu

Hi all,

I use:

• WordPress 3.4.2
• bbpress 2.1.2
• qtranslate 2.5.32
• qtranslate extention 0.1.1

All works fine in the blog part but in the bbpress forum I have a little problem.

Topics links are well presented in the correct langue of my bbpress forum but the content of a topic contains all the language text versions, one following the other, in place of only the current language text.

Sample: french and english version are presented together:

J’aime mon blog. I like my blog.

in place of :

French version : J’aime mon blog

English version : I like my blog

Any ideas ?

Thanks a lot for your help

The import didn’t end up going through as the file size is too big (394mb). I’ve gotten in contact with my host as I’m unsure how to get it to import.

[Tanya]

Nice work @Ronileco.

One question: How did you make your reply editor include image uploads? Thanks.

[Pippin Williamson]

Is the base URL for your forums set to “community” or is that the page you have placed a bbPress short code on?

[the1path]

Hello all. Ive seen that as of 2.1 there are numerous pluggable functions including bbp_forum_class. However upon trying it on my custom theme it doesnt work? I copied loop-single-forum.php to my bbpress folder in my theme folder. I then have bbp_forum_class('clearfix') It doesnt add the clearfix class though? Am I doing something wrong? Any help much appreciated

[mb21]

I’m using WP 3.4.1 and bbpress 2.1.2. I’m wanting to use bbpress, but the user profile link results in a blank page. You can see what I mean on the forum here: http://www.obstructedview.net/forum.html or more specifically a profile page here: http://www.obstructedview.net/community/users/mb21 Help on this would be greatly appreciated. Ideally I’d like to be able to have people visit their profile or others for that matter, but at the very least I’d like to eliminate the link altogether if I cannot get the link to work properly. Thanks a lot.

[mostafaqanbari]

is there a way to understand which page is active? i created something for my bbpress forum that is different for some of my bbpress pages, i want to know where am i so i can change that thing for that particular page.

[ctekmusic]

Have you tried changing the URL structure for bbPress?

Go to “Settings -> Forums” in the backend of WP and try changing the “forums base” & “forum slug” to something random. If the forum posts start to work then at least you know where the conflict is.

[Stephen Edgar]

Yep, once you are done and have checked that the import worked and are happy with it just delete the phpBB tables.

[DramaticBaby]

I would suggest that you read the codex on how to add custom themes, it is too much for a single forum post.

You can always begin here: Step-by-step guide to creating a custom bbPress theme

Happy coding! =)

[Tanya]

I’m guessing I will wait for the import to go through, then go through all the tables and delete all the phpbb ones. Please correct me if I’m wrong!

[hypedtext]

Hi, what is the name of the bbpress.org demo theme? Use here: http://bbpress.org/forums/

Is it available to be used by others?

[Tanya]

@netweb Ah crap, I just started importing it into my database. I will see what I can do…

[Stephen Edgar]

Export the database but don’t import it into your WordPress database you are going to use, import the phpBB database is its own separate database as once the data is imported you will be able to remove/delete that database as it will no longer be needed (just make sure you do keep a backup).

Other than that it looks like you are good to go.

[Tanya]

Thanks @netweb. From what you’ve said, I gather this is what I’m going to do:

1. Export the current forum’s database, then import it into my own.
2. Use the Tools>Forums>Import Forums.
3. Repair the forums Tools>Forums>Repair Forums.

Wish me luck! I will report back to say how I went if this does ever help anyone else in the future.

[Stephen Edgar]

You should export the entire phpBB database using from the current hosting provider and import it into your new hosting provider, remote migrations are not supported. Each of your hosting providers should have some documentation on how to import and export the MySQL database. You will not need to instal phpBB on your site to import the data, you only need the actual database.

This should also help https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/

The ‘default’ phpBB MySQL table prefix is “phpbb_”

[Tanya]

I am going to start importing the forum from the current phpbb3 site, which is on a different hosting account, to my site and I have a few questions.

• Do I have to export the database from the current forum and then import it?
• I am on the Tools>Forums>Import Forums page. When it says Database Server, what do I type in here?
• Table prefix – what do I write here?

[Stephen Edgar]

This option I am pretty sure will not work in the way during the import that the topics and replies are matched to user ID’s, essentially during the import bbPress can not match the vBulletin (or any other forum) UserID to an existing WordPress user.

As for the other side of things I haven’t tried to do what you are trying to do with MultiSite though a quick test install locally to give it a run through different scenarios would be the best bet to see what the outcome is.

Hi Rob

I had a look on your forum and there are no css rules for any link elements which is strange. Try adding this into your css file:

#bbpress-forums .bbp-breadcrumb a { color: #F6AC2C; }

That should make the breadcrumb links go yellow (as an example). If that works you just need to populate the css file with all the link colours manually which you can find by digging around with the code inspector.

If you want to change all link colours quickly and lazily you could just target every link within bbPress like this

#bbpress-forums a { color: #F6AC2C; }

Hope this helps
