I’ve done the following steps:

1. Checked Allow BuddyPress Groups to have their own forums  
2. Created a Group Forum
3. Selected Group Forum  is the parent for all group forums
4. In Buddypress,unchecked Discussion Forums component.
5. In Group / Admim / Forum, created a new forum.

Upon completion of creating a new forum in group, I got redirect to Group Forum directory under bbpress page instead of group Forum tab. Under the group Forum tab, it shows This group does not currently have any forums.
I need some help to get things set up right. Thanks!

bbpress is the best thing, thanks for the open source, free, forums. bbpress underwent complete revamping, have the spam content and users been addressed?
does akismet help?
another thing does bbpress build indexes? so that a scan could be run and entries could be somehow be flagged!
love bbpress, looking forward to some fix for this problem, thanks JJJ, BG and others!

Jezza101, did you have a look at the source code for these two plugins:

an old and unsupported buddypress plugin: BP Unread Posts

WP plugin that fails to activate, presumably because of some conflict with BBPress: WP Unread Comments

Are they any help?

I looked into this myself, but I couldn’t find enough documentation to get started. I’m the kind of dev who can get stuff to work if given enough time and decent code examples. Hopefully as more bbpress 2.0 plugins are released there will be more to learn from.

I would agree that this is such a core feature as users surely use this to monitor activity. There is a shortcode which lists out new posts, you can see it on my site here. A list of new posts does go some of the way to help users monitor activity. There is also the RSS feed which is what I use to monitor all posts that are made.

I wouldn’t want to second guess JJJ but from the gist of his posts I get that he is very pro 3rd party involvement. In a number of cases his response has been to say if you want a feature enough then why not get to work on it and add it (obviously easier said than done as most users don’t have the skills!). Does the fact its commercial make a difference? I don’t know, I shouldn’t think so. Commercial WordPress plugins have been around for a while and are widely used.

Hi,

I have installed BBPress, in my current registration page I have the code [bbp-register] which works and lets a user register. However the only fields here are to choose a username and enter email, where an password is automatically sent. What I need is to have an password field which the user enters, rather than having a generated one. I would also like other custom fields such as gender and age.

The form is located in form-user-register.php

Its fine to add the extra input boxes here and display, but I don’t know how these would get stored and saved.

Any help on how to make the custom fields save and which files to look at would be extremely helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Versions of WP, BBP and AWPCP?

Made a clean install of all in their latest releases, and it failed.

[Lanod]

Sounds like the same issue I had – try resetting your permalinks – that worked for me.

See https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-non-existent/ for more info.

Apology if I am spoiling your thread, but I do have a question about bbpress post parent, maybe our question is related to the same answer, so, let me go on… In WP, if we want to find a post parent, we do
$post=get_post($id)
$parent_id= $post->post_parent
In bbpress, there is a fundtion to do the job

function bbp_get_reply_topic_id( $reply_id = 0 ) {

    // Assume there is no topic id
    $topic_id = 0;

    // Check that reply_id is valid
    if ( $reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $reply_id ) )

        // Get topic_id from reply
        if ( $topic_id = get_post_meta( $reply_id, '_bbp_topic_id', true ) )

            // Validate the topic_id
            $topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $topic_id );

    return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_reply_topic_id', (int) $topic_id, $reply_id );
}
 My question is-- why bbpress does not use WP's post\_parent, instead, it saves parent\_id in child's meta, make no use of native WP post table? The parent may got lost somewhere in the middle of the additional out of system steps.

hi – using wp 3.3.1 BBP – 2.0.2 i’m running into problems when editing replies. when i save it loses it’s parent association as the content of the TOPIC pulldown field usually says (no topic) –

we have many many topics but they dont default when in the edit screen.
is this a BBPress bug and/or has this been fixed in the newer releases?

(i believe we lose the original author reference also.)

thanks!

[regiscassidy]

I’m really surprised no recent plugin exists that will allow users to subscribe to a forum, not just topics. I have a small membership site so email flooding is not really an issue. I want my members to be able to subscribe to a Forum (say called Recipes) so that they will receive an email whenever a new topic is created in that forum. Has anyone out there implemented such a thing?

I looked into BuddyPress groups, but that’s way more complicated than I need things to be. I want a nice simple bbPress forum w/ the option to subscribe to forums.

Thanks in advance,
Regis

I’ve inherited a site that used to run bbpress. Apparently it was overrun with spammers in the 2009 timeframe and, even though the previous admin removed bbpress and stopped using it, there are 36,486 rows in the wp_users table, with only 4.290 that actually have roles on the site. Looking over the users with no roles through wp-admin, I can see these IDs are truly bogus.

There does not appear to be consistency of meta_keys in wp_usermeta for users with no roles and users WITH roles on the site. With 1,825 pages of users, scrolling through and deleting them that way would/could take hours so I want to write a SQl statement that will drop all users without roles from the database, just to clean things up.

Has anyone done this before? How can I structure a SQL query that will isolate and remove all IDs and the associated meta data for users with no site role?

Thank you so much, in advance, for any ideas or suggestions that are helpful.

I asked the same question at wordpress.org forum and was directed to ask here. The link from that thread is:

I have bbpress installed and I have configured the settings. I want it to display on my ‘discussion page’ of my wordpress. How do I get it there?

[kendallewis]

I am trying to do the exact same thing. I have installed bbpress but cannot find where it is. I would like to install it on my “discussion page” of my wordpress. Anyone please help or provide direction to an installation tutorial?

[kendallewis]

I am in the same boat…I have installed bbpress but do not know how to get it to display on my “discussion page.” Could someone please help us?

Hi! In the loop-single-forum.php, there is this part of code:
do_action( ‘bbp_theme_before_forum_description’ );

do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_description' );
 And I need to see the description of the forum below it, but there is nothing. I definitely have written the Text, but the_content(); just doesn't work. I also had to do a very hard coded tweak, to show the description of the subforums and it worked, but It doesn't work for normal forums..

€: I editet two times and the “code-sample” function doesnt work. so I just inserted in manually.
€2: I cant believe it! This is really the last time I use bbpress, even this forum doesn’t work properly. It allways deletes my html..

Wordpress 3.4.1 / bbPress 2.1.2
We installed bbPress and related plugins. Set up our first forum and topic and in widgets setup bbPress Forums list. When you go to webpage and click on “Forum List” for Forum/Topic we get this message: “This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it? It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching, or one of the links below, can help.”

We followed bbPress Help page installation word for word. Something is not linking???? We would appreciate any suggestions regarding this.

Hi. I seem to experience a conflict between AWPCP 2.1.1 and bbpress 2.1.2.

I get a blank page when I try to place an ad, when bbpress is activated. If I turn bbpress off, I have no problems placing an ad.

I have deleted all other plugins and templates (except Hello Dolly and Akismet). First I thought I was the bbpress template (twenty-ten BB), but I have tried without it too.

Has anyone the same problem?

Thanks

[kowalski]

I have installed bbpress plugin in my wordpress, but there is not latest topcis on my forums front page like on your http://bbpress.org/forums/

Anyone could give me a latest post loop code, so i can insert it manualy to my template?
many thanks!

[smiga]

I`m curious how this ends. Unread post plugin is thing, what stops me from migrating bbpress 1.x to 2.x.

[chicadieta]

Solved the problem. Turns out I needed to install a compatibility plugin (provided by the Thesis Theme developers). I don’t know if I will be able now to properly change the forum font size, but everything else works perfectly now.

I hope this helps someone else with the same issue (i.e. anyone installen bbPress in a blog using Thesis), because I searched for this for days and didn’t find any answers, not here, not on the WP forums. The answer was in the private Thesis forum.

[Roger Coathup]

I had the same issue… see: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-override-bbpress-css/

I walked through the bbPress code, and discovered where it looked for its css. Amazed it wasn’t documented!

WP 3.4.1
bbPress 2.1.2
http://www.americancanyoneers.org/forum/index.php

I am a new administrator for this site and I’m getting familiar with bbPress. Trying to figure out how to create link from the forum page back to the main homepage. I would like to:

1. Make the upper-right logo link back to the main homepage.
2. Add a homepage link to the menu bar.

Options seem fairly limited in bbPress Settings regarding these things, so I’m guessing the solution is via code?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
