Just tried again and the reply the window gives me is:


Repair any missing information: Continue

Any ideas? Thanks!

Just tried (twice) to install bbPress (latest version into WP 3.4.2. After the install, the site is there, but the admin screen \wp-admin) returns no data at all. The only way to recover was to delete folder and begin again. Have done this TWICE now. Bluehost, WP was installed through Fantastico.

The plug-in appeared in the list of available plug-ins, I clicked on activate, screen went white, and could not access admin after that. Checked from my iPhone and iPad, same issue…

HELP!!!!!

This one works as expected -> “version with some ajax that will automatically mark topics as read after you have viewed them for at least 10 seconds”

I`m using “Response” theme. bbpress 2.1.2
With latest commit, started to apear something under users profile “Unread Forum Topics Viewing 30 topics – 1 through 30 (of 436 total)” Its already late, will try to play a bit tomorrow if have time.

By the way, maybe you can suggest theme what to use to have proper components?

Another update: so that read/unread topics can be styled, I’ve added two class names to the topic wrapper:

.bbp-topic-read if a topic has been read by the current user.
.bbp-topic-unread if a topic has not been read by the current user.

What theme are you using? It’s very possible that your theme is missing a couple of vital components, which would make it so the Unread Topics section doesn’t show. Also, what version of bbPress?

[smiga]

“You can also view a list of all unread topics by going to your bbPress profile, in the same way you would view favorites or subscribed topics.”

Under users Y profile I dont see unread posts as well

“Unread Forum Topics
You have read every posted topic.”

[smiga]

I made a look on it. I was able to activate plugin. I see Mark as Read/Unread link next to the Subscribe/Unsubscribe links on topics.
But I can not recognize unread topics, they look exactly the same like regular topics. What I did is:
-activated plugin
-used existing topic, where users X and Y are chatting
-logged in with user X and posted reply
-logged in with user Y on topics page, but dont see any difference, that one where user X replied minutes ago looks exactly same like others.
-tried to create new topic with user X and then login with user Y

Maybe I dont fully understand planed functionality? Or it depends from theme and something should be added to CSS file?

Previous plugin for old 1.x BBpress forum was working so that it marked unread topics (totaly new topics and old ones where new replies were submitted after users last visit) in different color.

[Pippin Williamson]

Alright, I have an initial version done and ready for anyone who wants to test it. Just download it from Github (it will be on the repo shortly).

It will add a Mark as Read/Unread link next to the Subscribe/Unsubscribe links on topics.

You can also view a list of all unread topics by going to your bbPress profile, in the same way you would view favorites or subscribed topics.

A few things I have left to do:

• Auto mark a topic as read when replying
• Auto marking a topic as read once on the page for more than a few seconds
• Create a widget to show unread topics

Anything else?

[bryanforst]

Any solution to this yet?

I have a similar problem in my 2.1.1 bbpress install, no buddy press…..

[bryanforst]

Did you ever get a solution to this?

My admin’s user profile works correctly but all other users throw a 404.

I am using bbpress 2.1.2, wp 3.4.1 and slightly modified twenty-ten theme.

This is being worked on over here as an actual bbPress plugin.

Is there a way to import users, posts and PM’s from phpBB 3 into bbpress?

[Philip John]

I’m creating a customised forums front page for bbPress, by listing forums in a different way to the bbPress default.

Essentially what I’m trying to do is replace the use of bbp_list_forums() with a second, nested bbPress loop so that I have greater control over how the sub-forums are displayed.

I know I can use the ‘before’ and ‘after’ parameters of bbp_list_forums() but that doesn’t give me as much control as I need.

The only question I found that came close was this one which doesn’t actually provide a definitive answer.

Code won’t paste nicely here so it’s over here: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/64681/creating-nested-forum-loops-in-bbpress

See the bbp_list_forums() reference – in place of that I want another “while (bbp_forums())…” loop but how do I do that without interfering with the main loop?

Thanks

Unfortunately, Akisment on BBPress is a BIG failure. Yes it captures spam but very limited. I have been struggling from this issue as I have to manually delete the clean the stuff. I am now migrating away from bbpress to some paid solution, if you’re thinking of some serious forum solution, i am afraid bbpress is a bad choice, even though its wordpress’s own child.

[jezza101]

Not sure what you mean, spam comments are hidden by Akismet on my bbpress 2 forum. I use another plugin to prevent spam registrations, it looks up to black lists on StopForumSpam and HoneyPot.

[castresana]

Thanks for the quick reply!

I just updated the bbPress to 1.1 version (last one available in Legacy).

After upgrading bbPress1 I tryed to import it from bbPress2.1.2 and this time, the importer didn’t give me any errors, but the importation didn’t go right.

The result is having the forums okay but in the transition the posts and replies are mixted up.
It looks like the script has converted all the replies into new posts, and actually, it has not maintained the post/reply respective users, now all of the posts and even the replies of the original post (that now are new posts as well, not considered as reply), are written by first post user.

So if we go to http://elanillounico.com/v5/foro/topic.php?id=9454#post-312800
(this is the original forum, not it’s a bit mixted up, it’s the template),

Anyway, in the lopic we saw, the user Aragorn_II began a topic and Wolfimbul replied and some other users as well.

When we go to but that thread in the new forum for example, you have this forum view:

So when you are entering first post available on the list, it is the original topic:

And when you enter the second post available, you see the first reply, and it is written by Aragorn_II but it should be written by Wolfimbul.

So, in the end, I do not know what I am doing wrong, any ideas?

Thank you!

Hi,

I’m using: WordPress 3.4.2, bbPress 2.1.2 and bbPress Topics for Posts 1.4

A new article is automatically published in the forum. I’ve been trying now to get the number of replies in the post instead of the comments count.

Are there any workarounds to get these numbers?

Thanks.

I am looking to migrate our phpbb installation to bbpress. However after looking at the activity this will be beyond our current staff’s capabilities. Are there any recommended groups that provide a migrating service?

Website is http://thefwoosh.com, forum is here http://thefwoosh.com/forum

Exactly. You’ll want to update to bbPress 1.1 first.

Hello everybody!

I have a bbPress 0.9.0.7 forum running that works great. http://elanillounico.com/v5/foro
It has it’s users linked to my WordPress 3.4.2. http://elanillounico.com/

I wanted to migrate the bbPress to bbPress 2.1.2 (actual version) but I guess I am doing something wrong.
The new url for the forum is: http://elanillounico.com/forums

WHAT I AM DOING…

First of all I’m installing bbPress 2.1.2 plugin and I activate it in my WordPress.

Second I go to Tools – Forums – Import Forums, I select the bbPress1, I insert the db options and select all the options that suit my server so it doesn’t overload.

I start the process and I wait until it finishes saying “No tags to convert” and then… I am getting this error 🙁

WordPress database error: [Table 'my_database_forum.bb_term_relationships' doesn't exist]
SELECT convert(term_relationships.object_id USING "utf8") AS object_id,convert(term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id USING "utf8") AS term_taxonomy_id,convert(terms.name USING "utf8") AS name FROM bb_term_relationships AS term_relationships INNER JOIN bb_term_taxonomy AS term_taxonomy USING (term_taxonomy_id) INNER JOIN bb_terms AS terms USING (term_id) LIMIT 0, 1000

Apart from this, the installation does not go right. When I go to my forums, the forums themselves are all right. But the topics are all mixted up. It looks like if the answers to the original topics are now topics as well, so I have the forums with all of the messages as if they were topics, they are not linked as if they were lost the id that linked them.

Any idea of what this means and why this happened??

Question I have: Do I have to upgrade first to version bbPress 1.1 before I upgrade to bbPress 2.1.2?

Thank you very much! 🙂

I’ve found a solution for this. It involves adding support for custom post types in the activity feed. As ‘forum’ is a custom post type you can add this (as well as other) post type’s updates to activity feeds.

The solution is over in the BuddyPress forums:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/display-custom-post-types-in-activity-feed/

The code that I got working is here:
http://pastebin.com/VJ6pR9az

Add ‘forum’ to the $media array to see sitewide forum activity. It only appears to work for content added after this is set up.

The version of the code at the bottom of this page:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/display-custom-post-types-in-activity-feed/

Is intriguing to me as it allows you to customize the phrasing of the activity notices, but I was unable to get it to work.

You mean WP Post comments integrated with bbPress forums? I hope that’s not a deal breaker because as far as I know, either someone has still to create a plugin that can do that and release it OR you have to code it OR you have to hire a developer to make the plugin for you.

re #1 – bbPress is responsive but needs some more tweaking https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1933

re #2 – like the left or right column at http://testbp.org/discussion/

re #3 – hmm, haven’t seen a plugin like that, but it could be done

re #4 – Nothing is perfect in this world. bbPress works all right out of the box. So unless you have a private community, then just like many forum scripts out there, you’d need some anti-spam plugins or better yet, an active community which tags spams so admin/keymaster or moderators can delete such posts and/or members

re #5 – yes, easy to use

> newest version of bbPress is supposed to have theme compatability

It does. bbPress styles are enqueued by default. Image shows you’ve revised it and probably the template too, and you missed adding 100% width on the li.bbp-body (just a guess) or whatever container you’ve used for the page. Site URL?
