it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

Hi there,

Is it possible to use the forum title rather than the forum id when using shortcode to display the forum? In my website I am using a plugin which has virtual pages and I would like the user to search for the title of the forum they want and then it to be displayed – by means of shortcode.

Just in case, I would like to add that duplicate naming of the fourms would not be an issue in my website (it is not possible for the user to create a fourm with the same name).

Also, is there a way in which I am able to query the forum index? If so, am I able to check if a forum with this name (used in the query) already exists? If it doesn’t I would like the user to be able to start it, is this also possible?

WordPress version 5.6.2
bbPress version 2.6.6

Thanks in advance!

Running 5.6.2 WordPress. Using Divi theme. Version 2.6.6 bbpress. While the Main forum page: https://crown50reunion.org/forum/ is using sidbar 2, the discussion page: https://crown50reunion.org/forums/forum/general-discussion/ adds the general sidebar. How can I change this?

Hi @robin-w

I am now “https://site.com/forums/topic/23716” In use as a format

bbPress Permalinks with ID <—
After disabling (or deleting) this plugin,
is there a way to use the Permalinks address as above?

Best Regards,
Hyunho

‘Oops! That embed can’t be found’ is not a bbpress error, it’s a wordpress one.

but looking at the link below, I’d suggest it is related to your permalinks, and maybe the fact that you are using ID’s and a plugin for that

Hello everyone.

I do realize that Nick’s question was topical more than 6 years ago, but still want to share one more way of moving phpBB content over to bbPress. Probably, someone will find it useful.

I personally always try to avoid manual actions, because there’s a risk to miss something important, moreover, if a forum is scalable.

That’s why I do suggest going the automated migration route and use forum migration service for that.
Here’s what I found – https://cms2cms.com/cms/supported-cms/phpbb-to-bb-press-migration/. Quite naturally, that the migration will need some custom edits, but I do know that the cms2cms tech team can investigate any migration case and do some additional settings.

According to the video tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sobBd64J_ro it really looks quite simple. At least, Free Demo is worth trying, I guess.

Hi,
I have added Words which are not allowed in the replies of forum in my Settings>Discussions>Disallowed Comment Keys and once I enter any of these words in replies of any of my forums posts an error is shown Your reply cannot be created at this time.

Basically I want to customize the error and change it to my custom error which can be seen by user, I tried many ways like overwriting it by using hooks in my theme php file but not succeeded.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi

If add a link to “topic and reply”, the embed function does not work.

ref img
https://ibb.co/qxXG125

site.com is an example for screenshots.
I entered the actual URL

error error embed
Oops! That embed can’t be found

ref img
https://ibb.co/grXr9dV

It was a site that has been without problems for months.
I just discovered it by accident.

The same is happening at the internal test site.

I installed the “Health Check & Troubleshooting” plug-in from the test site
and activated the Troubleshooting mode.

and only 2 plugin activate
– bbPress
– bbPress Permalinks with ID

The problem still occurs.
It’s a well-used feature, site, but suddenly a problem arises and I’m confused.

I must need to help

Hi all, thanks in advance for any help. I have set up a members only page on my website – http://scaleupgroup.co/members/. This page is restricted using Memberpress. I have also set up bbpress and set the root forum index to http://scaleupgroup.co/members/forums. However, this forums page is not protected by Memberpress as it is an archive page built by bbpress.

Can anyone help me set the forums archive page (in this case – http://scaleupgroup.co/members/forums) parent page to be http://scaleupgroup.co/members?

Thank you

Hi

I want the thumbnail to appear on the topic
Search results found a plugin similar to the function I’m hoping for

bbpress-topic-thumbnails
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-topic-thumbnails/

I want to add one more feature in this plugin.
With this plugin, thumbnails of all forum topics are displayed

I only want to use this feature for 1 specific forum
reason for write topic is because the plugin has not been updated for a long time.

So I ask for help here

code is

/*Hooks into the loop-topic.php output to print image*/
add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_title', 'bee_insert_thumbnail' );
function bee_insert_thumbnail() {

        if((!bee_catch_image() == '')){
        echo('<a href="'); 
    echo(bbp_topic_permalink() . '"><img class="bbp-topic-thumbnail"  width="100%" style="max-width: ' . get_option('thumbnail_size_w') . 'px; max-height: ' . get_option('thumbnail_size_h'). 'px; vertical-align:middle;" src="' . bee_catch_image() . '"/>' .'</a>');
        }
}

/*Function that retrieves the first image associated with the topic*/
function bee_catch_image() {
  global $post, $posts;
  $first_img = '';
  ob_start();
  ob_end_clean();
  $output = preg_match_all('/<img.+src=[\'"]([^\'"]+)[\'"].*>/i', $post->post_content, $matches);
  $first_img = $matches [1] [0];
  return $first_img;
}

Anyone can help?
Thanks

the comments part of bbpress is not very nice.

you are presuming that what your site shows is the same as everyone else’s – can you explain what you mean?

my test site shows what I would expect

[Ricsca2]

I noticed something else that could be improved.
When users are not logged in, the comments part of bbpress is not very nice.

I am trying to create a custom role that can only reply to existing topics.

I followed this to create new role. At first, the role did appear in dropdown list in admin edit user screen, but after saving, it went back to “— No role for these forums —”.

I found this thread, so.. I created custom WordPress role in the same name. This made the bbPress role to be “saved” but it doesn’t seem to add capabilities. The user with this role can’t see forum or topics.

How can I get this custom bbPress user role to have custom capability?

I recently moved a reply to topic and now from the WPAdmin when I click on Replies I get a 502 error, So I am unable to view/edit replies from WordPress Admin. Please help.

[Robin W]

basic system is fine – the issue is either site specific or words lost in translation between us 🙂

there are over 300,000 installations of bbpress – if breadcrumbs didn’t work, we’d know about it 🙂

But I’m glad you are fixed 🙂

[einar2507]

That saved my day. Now its working properly. There must be something wrong with the bbPress basic system?
Thank you so much for your endless patience with me!!!

Hi everyone,

we’re currently using bbPress in conjunction with WPML and LearnPress. With that setup, I’m encountering a couple of problems:

1. With WPML, we want to enable users to switch between English and Spanish. I’ve run the string scan via WPML and most strings are already there in Spanish as well as get displayed correctly when the language is set to Spanish. However, there are certain strings that didn’t have translations and that we manually translated – but they don’t show up on the frontend, somehow they remain in English there.

Here’s an example of a such a string. and here’s a corresponding screenshot of the frontend.

2. We’d like to customize the date format so that it displays “Hace 2 Semanas” as “hace 2 semanas” in the last post column, for example. It seems like this would need to be changed in the php files, as with the string translations, that’s just a placeholder? But where exactly would this need to be changed?

Here’s the string I found.

3. Also, no breadcrumb is being displayed at all. Is there some setting I’m missing where this can be turned on?

(WP 5.6.1, bbPress 2.6.6)

Thanks in advance, I’d very much appreciate your help with these issues!

All the best,
Christina

Is there no way I could add the profile as I did with the forum index? It was super easy just using [bbp-forum-index]

– no, the way profiles work doesn’t easily lend to that 🙂

1. Go to

bbp-add-menu-profile-item

and download the plugin to your computer – make a note of where you saved it !

2. on your website go to dashboard>plugins>add new>upload plugin and browse to the file you downloaded in 1. above
3. Install and Activate
4. If you already have a page called ‘Profile’ then make sure this has the permalink ‘profile’
5. If not then create a page called ‘Profile’ and make sure it has the permalink ‘profile’
6. in the content of the profile page put something like

‘You need to be logged in to see your profile’ – you can add the bbpress login shortcode in here as well if you wish ie [bbp-login]

The above is what will show to people who click the profile menu item who are not logged in

Save the page and exit

7. In Dashboard>appearance>menu’s add the profile page to the menu you want to.

now you will have ‘Profile’ showing as the menu item, and if clicked and logged in you will go to your profile page, if not logged in, you will see the content above.

@robin-w,

> I’m trying to find time to think about this

I wouldn’t put any more effort into it if no one else is seeing it. As I say, I’m not updating WP anyway.

> Enable jQuery Migrate Helper

I could be wrong, but I think the text editing bug is a separate thing and unique to 5.6.1.

> bbpress only has a text editor as standard in front end

This is how I’m enabling what I was calling the “visual” editor:

function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
$args[‘tinymce’] = true;
return $args;
}
add_filter(‘bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args’, ‘bbp_enable_visual_editor’);

—

It’s quite possible that I’m doing something I don’t realize. As I say, I think by now there would be numerous reports if this was a general problem.

[Robin W]

@mike80222 – I’m trying to find time to think about this, but in the meantime 2 thoughts

1. the default for 5.6 issues is to install

Enable jQuery Migrate Helper

2. bbpress only has a text editor as standard in front end , so how are you doing the visual editor you are switching to?

[einar2507]

Hi.
/Forum/ or /Forums/ ???

After installing bbpress I created a page “Forum” with the shortcode [bbp-forum-index]. I made a menu with a link to that “Forum” page. All fine and the forum index listed.

But when I go in to a forum and the click on the breadcrumbs “Forums” to get back, I land on a blank page with the text “Forums” ???
I have also tried to make a page Forums with shortcode [bbp-forum-index] but that does not change anything.
I dont understand this and what I do wrong?
Here is my two pages where first is ok, but breadcrumbs lead to second with error.
