Hi @daihlo,

I use bbPress with BuddyPress also. I’ve noticed that the people at “Buddy Dev”

https://buddydev.com/

are much more responsive than BuddyPress. I made a free account there and I’ve gotten a lot of good info from posting in their forums. They know about bbPress too. You might try them.

Hope that helps!

Mike

It almost certainly can be fixed. bbpress works on over 100,000 sites. The issue is not bbpress itself, but most likely your theme or another plugin.

You have a paid theme, which may well be the issue (or may not) – I suggest you ask the theme authors to help you as you have paid for their product.

Hi, first time posting here…
Im launching a site using Buddypress and BBpress and have found an issue where buddypress groups offer a BBpress forum when created.

This is a great feature, and a key one I want to use, however…

If I create a group and do not choose to include a forum, that group automatically becomes associated with whichever is the first forum in my database.

There is also still a ‘forum’ tab on the group menu, which should lead nowhere as no forum was created for this group. But it leads to the first forum created.

Whats worse, is this particular forum is a paid members only group with privacy settings set to invited members only, hidden etc… and anyone in the group without a forum can enter it and read, even post as though they are a member.

I have tried disabling all other plugins, themes etc and the issue resides between Buddypress nad BBpress.

Had no luck posting on the buddpress support so trying here!

Please can someone look into this as it creates a privacy issue.
Many thanks 🙂

ok, so which method atre you using in

https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/ item 3

if method 1, then try using method 2

I forgot to mention versions, sorry.

WP: 6.6.2
bbPress: 2.6.11
SQLite Object Cache: 1.3.8

So whenever a user edits their own message the message box is black instead of white and the text color is also black, which obviously is not exactly optimal 🙂

Our developer says that this is caused by “bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab”. He installed an empty site with only bbpress which worked fine, but then also TinyMCE which caused the error on the test site as well.

What to do besides uninstall TinyMCE? I like that thing..

[alembiq]

We had a PHPBB many years ago, which we migrated to bbPress around four years ago, but it seems some flags remained in the database for the whole time, flags like (_bbp_class, _bbp_old_user_id, _bbp_password, _bbp_phpbb_user_avatar, _bbp_phpbb_user_sig). They might be needed; I have no idea.

But after the last update of WP and all the plugins, all the migrated users started to get an error message instead of being able to log in:
`
{“success”:false,”data”:[{“code”:”bbp_converter_db_connection_failed”,”message”:”Database connection failed”}]}
`
After some debugging and searching, I found https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3419#no0 and tried to remove _bbp_class, which helped 🙂

I just needed to wipe the SQLite Object Cache because it kept the old data. It might happen to someone else in the future, I don’t know. I don’t know if you can somehow influence that this metadata is not stored there or something else. But at least you have the information that it might happen.

I have the plugin BBpress that allow me to create a forum on the admin panel on wordpress, the form is basic I just have to tape a name and pusblished it. Forum > Add new > tape the name > published and my forum is create. I also have a taxonomy forum that is linked to the user for that I do use the plugin User Taxonomy & Directory.

[Robin W]

so how are you creating the forum on bbpress? ie I go into xx and I click this and then type that

[kimis]

I did

add_action('bbp_new_forum_post_extras', 'my_custom_bbp_new_forum_handler');

function my_custom_bbp_new_forum_handler( $action = '' ) {
error_log('test function');
    if ( 'bbp-new-forum' !== $action ) {
        return;
    }

    if ( ! bbp_verify_nonce_request( 'bbp-new-forum' ) ) {
        bbp_add_error( 'bbp_new_forum_nonce', __( '<strong>ERROR</strong>: Are you sure you wanted to do that?', 'bbpress' ) );
        return;
    }

    do_action( 'bbp_new_forum_post_extras', $forum_id );

    $forum_title = get_the_title($forum_id);
    $forum_slug = sanitize_title($forum_title);

    if (!term_exists($forum_title, 'forums')) {
        $result = wp_insert_term($forum_title, 'forums', array(
            'name' => $forum_title,
            'slug' => $forum_slug
        ));

        if (is_wp_error($result)) {
            error_log("Erreur lors de l'insertion du terme : " . $result->get_error_message());
        } else {
            error_log("Terme de taxonomie 'forums' créé avec succès : " . print_r($result, true));
        }
    } else {
        error_log("Le terme existe déjà : " . $forum_title);
    }

    $redirect_url = bbp_get_forum_permalink( $forum_id );
    bbp_redirect( $redirect_url );
}

but it still doesn’t work the first error log doesn’t appear on the debug file

[kimis]

Hello, I have a taxonomy forums that is is linked to the user, how can I do to create a forum on bbpress and when it’s done it also create a forum on my taxonomy

my code is :

function create_forum_taxonomy_entry($forum_id, $forum_args) {

$forum_title = get_the_title($forum_id);
$forum_slug = sanitize_title($forum_title);

error_log(“Création du forum : ” . $forum_title);
error_log(“Slug du forum : ” . $forum_slug);

// Insertion du forum dans la taxonomie forum
if (!term_exists($forum_title, ‘forums’)) {
$result = wp_insert_term($forum_title, ‘forums’, array(
‘slug’ => $forum_slug
));

if (is_wp_error($result)) {
error_log(“Erreur lors de l’insertion du terme : ” . $result->get_error_message());
} else {
error_log(“Term créé avec succès : ” . print_r($result, true));
}
} else {
error_log(“Le terme existe déjà : ” . $forum_title);
}
}
add_action(‘bbp_insert_forum’, ‘create_forum_taxonomy_entry’, 10, 2); but this function isn’t called

the file has another function below and it works so it’s not the calling of the file

This is not bbPress related. This is error in Avada theme, most likely due to outdated code that is not updated for PHP 8.x. This message is related to changes in PHP 8.1. You need to update Avada, or contact Avada author to fix the problem.

[kimis]

When I used your pluggin, there is this message :
Deprecated

Looks like you are also using elemtor, the last 2 entries on this thread might help, try the last oine first.

bbPress + Elementor

If they do, please come back and let us know so i can help others in future

How to Use bbPress on Multilingual Sites with WPML

[Marisa]

Is there an action I can use to execute PHP code before every bbPress page loads?

Then maybe I can try altering cookies to make bbPress switch languages.

I want language selection to be dynamic and user controlled.

[Marisa]

Thanks Robin. I have LocoTranslate and PolyLang already installed.

The .po and .mo translation files are already loaded for bbPress in the system directory.

However I need a way for bbPress to pick them up.

[Marisa]

bbPress has been translated into many languages. See https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/

Is there a cookie I can set to make bbPress dynamically switch from say the English language to the French language?

I have a website in several different languages.

[smelendez]

Hi, I am using the bbPress integration with BuddyPress, so that when new BuddyPress groups are created, their respective associated forum is also created. I would like these forums to already have some topics created by default (such as rules, general chat, …), so that the user does not have to create them manually. Although the user can create more topics later, but I would like the forum to already include some topics by default when the group is created. Is it possible to achieve this? Thanks.

[Robin W]

ok, all I can suggest is the standard fault finding…

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

If you look on the linked page and see a big white block, the oEmbed on my site isn’t working (when someone makes a post in bbPress, it automatically embeds it as shown on the page, but the link doesn’t work). Everything looks right, but the link doesn’t work. I can’t figure out what I can do to fix it or disable it. I’ve turned to a friend who knows how to code (I don’t) and she said that her bbPress installation has the same issue.

Here’s a page with an example:
