Hi guys,

I have gone through a tremendous process to migrate my wp site from multisite to a single site.I believed that bbPress was misbehaving because of my multisite. The thing is that keep having the same issue, when i try to register a user in my bbPress I never receive my email notification to register the user, it seems somehow something in the back end is not working. Please, can you let me know how to solve this? at the moment I am not using any specific loging or registration form but I am planning to, however i have not move forward with this yet as i see I cannot register a user in my new bbPress instance. Please, let me know how I can set this up.

Thanks!!

Hi,
After updating WooCommerce to the latest version (4.6.1), the plugin is now hiding the WordPress admin bar for bbPress moderators and keymasters. Making it harder for them to moderate the forums.

The following code in my functions.php file used to resolve the issue, however it no longer works:

add_action('init', function(){
if(class_exists('WooCommerce') && function_exists('bbp_get_user_role') && is_user_logged_in()){

$current_user = wp_get_current_user();	
$user_id = $current_user->ID;	
$bbp_get_user_role = bbp_get_user_role($user_id);

if($bbp_get_user_role == 'bbp_keymaster' || $bbp_get_user_role == 'bbp_moderator'){	
add_filter( 'woocommerce_prevent_admin_access', '__return_false' );
add_filter( 'woocommerce_disable_admin_bar', '__return_false' );
}
}
});

I posted this question to the WooCommerce forums and am also posting it here in case anyone else is having similar problems?

Any help or ideas greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Sam

Hi,

Can anyone assist with removing the entry title ‘FORUMS’ on this page:https://frugalflyer.ca/forums/

CSS doesn’t seem to work, or seems to be overidden by something in bbpress.

Thanks
Reed

Hi, I am interested in paying to have my old web forum data imported into my new bbPress site. Do you have a service to do this or can you suggest someone who could help?

[albertoe]

Ok, I see that there is a problem in BBPRESS http://www.rewweb.co.uk/download/bbp-refresh-last-active-time/

I just intalled http://www.rewweb.co.uk/download/bbp-refresh-last-active-time/ and new replys shows correctly on Freshness.

Thanks

Thanks Robin,

I have good and bad news.

The good news is that it has been fixed. Inside bbpress there is an option that says “repair bbpress” and it gets me right. The bad news is that bbpress has disappeared from the desktop sidebar and I have no way to access the plugin.

If I try to access from the top button of the Forum, it tells me that I do not have permissions

[Robin W]

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, 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

Then come back

I have no way of knowing how to describe this so not sure what I would search.

We had a group that used to be on yahoogroups, which we now wanted to migrate and I thought perhaps bbpress might manage. I followed the (somewhat outdated) instructions re importing via a csv file, making three ones for users, topics and replies. On a local installation the topics managed to be imported, but not the replies, and repair forums managed to dis-associate everything.

Now the site is not local, and I am trying to import. None of the importers decide to work with CSV files and custom posts for free. When one did work (having split my smallest CSV file – topics- into 50 different ones), I just tried the first file. It says it imported around 700 records. However, forum is empty, topics show no results, and repair forums does nothing. Neither does resetting permalinks. Neither does clearing cache.

At the top of topics, however, there is this:

Topics Add New
Your site is currently displaying a “Coming Soon” page. Once you are ready, launch your site.

Filter topics listAll (562) | Mine (21)
Filter by date
All dates

In all forums

Topics list

Forum Replies Voices Author Created Last Post

The logs as the importer went had “admin view” where on the few I clicked it had the reply, the author and associated to the right forum, but I can’t view it. It says they exist, and also says none exist when I click view all, just as above.

If I create a test one it all appears fine.

I would just quite like some help, and have no idea where to go from here. Please please help!

[Robin W]

you need to confirm that it is JUST wplms and bbpress

follow this

1. You should be aware that many spam filters strip messages that do not come from the correct address. So if your site is mysite.com and your email address in wordpress settings>general is fred@gmail.com then it is likely that messages will be dumped in transit. You need to set up email to come from your site eg fred@mysite.com, your hosting provider can help if needed.
2. Just bbpress?
Then you need to see if this is wordpress wide or just bbpress.
Try https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/

and of course

By default, you do NOT receive emails for your own topics/replies, only if somebody else replies on your subscribed topics

so testing would need two email accounts to prove !

[makeitbritish]

I should maybe point out that I am using Ultimate Member integrated with BBpress – could that be the reason that the emails are not sending?

[schaakspeler]

I’m currently using Twenty Twenty theme and WordPress 5.5.1 and installed a new version of bbpress, version 2.6.5. When looking at my forums overview this has been converted to text. How can I solve this?

Page with the issue: https://kremersfroon.com/forums/

[albertoe]

Thanks you Robin, but it looks something wrong in css. I was “touching” bbpress’s css and maybe I break something.

How can I do to reset all the plugin? I mean, delete all bbpress and reinstall like new. Maybe it could help me.

Thanks

Hello,
after the installation and the first entry of the categories for the forum, entries could also be created.
If you now want to return from the overview of the individual forums (entries created) to the general overview, the following is displayed:

bbpress itself does not allow uploads, so it will be an add-on plugin.

https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/ is one of the favourites for that.

The actual error is almost impossible to work out without knowing what is on the site.

it could be file type, or file size, so give that some experience and other not, then I’d try uploading different types and different sizes to see if you can work out when this happens.

[ohmo]

I do not own or operate the bbPress forums I’m asking about, but the owner doesn’t want to fix things. No idea what versions they are using because they keep it hidden from the plebes. But, I’d love to offer a fix for a problem some, but not all, members are running in to.

When using the “Upload Attachments” function, all I get is “Upload Errors!” message. This happens with Chrome, Edge, and Firefox – latest versions.

[uksentinel]

I may have missed what I was looking for, does anybody know if there is a way to show a list of the top posting members in BBPRESS, much like we can already do via Showing Latest Posts, Recent Topics and Most Liked Posts etc.

Thanks

Hi all,

Is it possible to use TinyMCE editor but not showing the html tags?

I would like just like this:https://support.dev4press.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2020/10/2020-10-15_231915.jpg

I have also plugin GD bbPress Toolbox Pro

[albertoe]

Thanks Robin, I check that a bbpress.php was created with this code:

<?php
get_header();

?>

	<div class="td-main-content-wrap td-main-page-wrap td-container-wrap">
		<div class="td-container">
			<div class="td-pb-row">
                <div class="td-pb-span8 td-main-content">
                    <div class="td-ss-main-content">
                        <?php
                            if (have_posts()) {
                                while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
                                    ?>
                                    <h1 class="entry-title td-page-title">
                                        <a href="<?php the_permalink()?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title_attribute() ?>"><?php the_title() ?></a>
                                    </h1>
                                    <?php
                                    the_content();
                                endwhile; //end loop
                            }
                        ?>
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div class="td-pb-span4 td-main-sidebar">
                    <div class="td-ss-main-sidebar">
                        <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'td-default' ) ?>
                    </div>
                </div>
			</div> <!-- /.td-pb-row -->
		</div> <!-- /.td-container -->
	</div>
<?php
get_footer();
?>

And I change with for this code:

<?php
get_header();

?>

	<div class="td-main-content-wrap td-main-page-wrap td-container-wrap">
		<div class="td-container">
			<div class="td-pb-row">
                <div class="td-pb-span8 td-main-content">
                    <div class="td-ss-main-content">
                        <?php
                            if (have_posts()) {
                                while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
                                    ?>
                                    <h1 class="entry-title td-page-title">
                                        <a href="<?php the_permalink()?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title_attribute() ?>"><?php the_title() ?></a>
                                    </h1>
                                    <?php
                                    the_content();
                                endwhile; //end loop
                            }
                        ?>
                    </div>
                </div>
			</div> <!-- /.td-pb-row -->
		</div> <!-- /.td-container -->
	</div>
<?php
get_footer();
?>

bbpress just uses wordpress signup, so whatever your WordPress site is using.

There are several plugins that will let you change this email eg

https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-send-a-custom-welcome-email-to-new-users-in-wordpress/

or if you’re into coding, just google around to find some code
