It has been 24 hours again. This is a very important problem with the bbPress system. Bump.

I’m being patient. I’ll take as long as I need. My site isn’t going anywhere. I think it should be considered a compliment to bbPress– bbPress is good enough for me not to give up on. And I’ve tried many forums systems.

I just updated the the current WordPress and current bbPress and have the same thing. Did you find any solutions?

[AAShepAA]

Newest WordPress and newest update of bbPress – I have no content in my forum posts! All my forums are there – just no content. I could really use some help.

BTW – site s at http://www.stratoliner.me

Thanks,

Thanks man – I just found that like after a day of working on this thing. LOL

I really do appreciate your help and reply!

In my profile page bbpress states:

“This is how your profile appears to a logged in member.”

<b>You don’t have to be logged in to see a user profile page.</b> I’ve tried this with other member names in the forums in different browsers with cleared out caches. You can see any member profile with the direct URL: http://bbpress.org/forums/profile/username (Try this with any valid user name)

(Could it be that this security hole causes a lot of spam attacks?)

On my site, until I did some tweaking with a membership plugin you could not only access the bbpress profile, but also edit the user profile, change the password, whatever. Now that this is more secure I can give an example:

http://kyebay.ca/forums/admin/Fritzi (styles fall apart)

I want to redirect author links to a custom bbpress profile page with proper site styles applied and separate the user profile from the bbpress profile.

How can that be done? Can you point me to the code I need to use? I could really use some help with this. I’ve posted on this matter in another topic, which had no response, because I may not have described the problem properly. Using WP 3.4 with updated Twenty Eleven theme. Please advise.

[Pixeldrum]

I was in the same situation. Using twentyeleven with WP 3.4. Get the twentyeleven extension where you can add a sidebar to all pages easily.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twenty-eleven-theme-extensions/

The plugin works with the new version.

I’m trying to remove the publish_topics capability from the subscriber role when using the bbpress wordpress plugin.

I checked here for reference, but it may not apply to the plugin version.

http://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

here’s the code I am using in my theme’s function.php

function bbp_remove_subscriber_caps(){

$role_object = get_role( 'subscriber' );

$role_object->remove_cap( 'publish_topics' );

}

add_action( 'init', 'bbp_remove_subscriber_caps' );

When I print the $role_object it shows:

[capabilities] => Array

(

[read] => 1

[level_0] => 1

[edit_topics] => 1

[publish_replies] => 1

[edit_replies] => 1

[assign_topic_tags] => 1

)

Which should mean that subscribers can’t create new topics… but the option still shows up on their dashboard. It does however say “You cannot create new topics at this time.” on the forum page within the site. So it seems to be partially working…

Is this a bug or am I just doing it wrong?

Yes, it is possible.

Hi

My blog is presently running a bbPress forum based on bbPress TwentyTen theme.

Can I somehow add functionality to it to run another forum using bbPress Kakumei theme/style?

My blog with bbPress 2010 theme/style:http://richard-dickinson.com/

Example site running bbPress Kakumei theme/style:http://luci.criosweb.ro/riot/bbpress/

Grateful for helpful replies many thanks

[LautaroArino]

Hi! My BBPress is working fine, this is more a question on what is possible to do. I would like to have a restricted forum only accesible by me and my coworkers. That is, they can only access it when they log in as for example editor or coworker. Is there any way to achieve this or anything similar?

Also, what kind of forum is this one we are using now? I can see its the same as in WordPress.org.

Thank you,Lautaro.

Hi there everyone,

I am new to bbpress and am currently developing my latest project (a premium forum skin / themes project).. I have a few questions and would really appreciate any feedback / thoughts.

(1) – Is it possible to display certain forums / categories to certain user-groups ? I would like to hide / make private forums for customers so only they can see their threads / staff replies.

(2) – How and where do i start editing css to blend the forums to match my website / can i create a custom bbpress style (if so how ??) Really in need of some help here.

A huge thanks in advanced for any help here, i am really looking at implementing this asap, currently weighting up using bbpress or a 3rd party script like Xenforo or something similar however the more scripts i need to bridge the messier / more long term work will be required (updates etc).

Regards, Darren

If anyone can give me an answer I would really appreciate it, preferably one of the main programmers of bbpress.

Thanks

Bytes exhausted is most likely due to a “bad” plugin, something else other than bbPress of course. Please see our Theme Reviewers List and see last couple of answers about that: https://lists.wordpress.org/pipermail/theme-reviewers/2012-March/008625.html

This was about the Theme, but it can apply to plugins as well.

P.S. Using bbPress on my client site and they’re on a shared GoDaddy hosting and bytes exhausted was never an issue and that’s because there are no plugins that “eat” the memory.

My 2c

Thanks,

Emil

Just noticed that I said twentytwelve (WP theme), it’s of course twentyeleven…

I have managed to use the sidebar login widget plugin and direct users to a nicely formatted user profile page. But clicking on a bbpress member name in a post still brings me to a profile page, that shows bbpress stats, and that is not properly stuled. The user information can be accessed and edited directly with a direct URL even if nobody is logged in at the site in a different browser.

I notice here in this forum that users are linked to their own websites, or other custom pages, how is this done?

[AAShepAA]

I just updated to the latest WordPress and also the newest bbPress plugin. It broke my custom theme so I went to the stock TwentyEleven theme with no modifications to bbPress.

All is OK (working) – except that I have no sidebar on my /Forums page. How can I add that so that my widgets show up? Must be simple but I just can’t seem to figure it out.

Thanks ahead of time for any help offered.

OK-I figured this out and have fixed it-all sorted.

It is a little confusing but I will try and explain how I think this now works for me.

I have some confusion between BuddyPress forums and bbPress forums on my blog (the blog is enabled for both bbPress and BuddyPress but I have not been able yet to run both BP & bbP forums together? Is that even possible?.

Anyway for now I only want to run bbPress forum and I have disabled BuddyPress discussion forums).

So the bbPress archive slug I originally had was ‘forums’ & that was adding to the whole BuddyPress / bbPress confusion! So I deleted that forum (trashed it) and changed the bbPress archive slug to forums_bbp and have now made a new forum page and topic and now the links are fine and the content displays!

I hope now I am getting to grips more with bbPress forums and I can start to use them more on my blog. After I get more experience with them I may try my hand with BuddyPress forums & possibly later try running both forums on my blog?! I will see (maybe it is not possible-but the docs say can run group & sitewide forums together?).

Best wishes to all bbPress users (& BuddyPress users)

[richardpd]

Hi

On my bbPress (& buddypress) enabled blog I have a forum page that is blank (no sourcecode-html or css)-why/how is this?

The page link on my blog is http://richard-dickinson.com/forums/

(theme is a bbPress child theme)-grateful for helpful advice/replies-thanks

[Pinhead149]

Hi guys,

can you tell me how to remove the sidebar only at the forums?

I’m using my own theme (not bbpress theme).

I tried to create a new site with “full site, no sidebars” template but it do not work.

thanks

sorry about my bad english

[Matthias-K]

Hi, I’m wondering how to get rid of the link and the following counting of the posts (simply nothing only the text needed, s.th. like “the following forums are for this and that”). I need to use the headline as a headline/description for the following forums. I need to design this to have it a little bit more sorted.

[Matthias-K]

Hi. I’m a newbie and I’m wondering how to install a (and which) Avatar-plugin. Or do I simply need a WP-Avater-Plugin and it will run autom.?

[ilanatam]

Hi All

I have a multisite installation (3.3), and have bbpress installed (2.0.3) and buddypress (1.5.6).

I want to open one area for few forums. only the site admin can open new forums, but everyone, including members without blogs, can write there. and some of the users can be managers of forums.

Is it possible?

what is the best practise?

will upgrading to WP 3.4 will help?

Thanks in advance

Hello experts i m new in bbpress forum.

So i studied a lot of articles and reviews by bbpress users.

I am using version1.1 stand alone version

and 000webhost (free hoisting)

But in installation (step3)

I am unable to see success after lots of attempts.

I think its key master username that is creating problems. every time i finsh installation error appeared.

Plz Plz Plz experts help me.

I m eagerly waiting to use bbpress customized forum.

[enderandrew]

I found it wasn’t a matter of which CSS tag to use. WordPress uses the CSS file from inside wp-includes/js/tinymce and it overrides your style. I assume that’s because tinymce should ignore your theme in the backend and just look the same regardless of theme in the backend.

But this poses an issue with bbpress using tinymce on the front end.

Personally, I around this by following this tutorial:

http://matty.co.za/2010/05/editor-style-in-wordpress/

[LabSecrets]

Hi Martin,

if you are using the default bbPress, then in most cases the CSS indicated will work. The only exception would be, with some themes, that you may have to also (or instead) make the #content area 100% width as well. Also, in some themes you have the #aside as well (or instead) of the #sidebar.

As I don’t know what theme you are using (link?), please use firebug to identify the element ID or Class that is surrounding the bbPress DOM elements.

[hinduismfacts]

Hi, my forum address is http://hinduismfacts.org/hindu-forum. I am using wordpress version 3.3.2 and bbpress 2.0.3.

When I or any user try to post a topic or a reply on the forum, the following error occurs.

The page isn’t redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept

cookies. Try Again.

The user has to log in again or use back button to go to forum then.

But surprisingly, topic gets posted.

Please help.
