bbpress just uses wordpress registration – so yes a wordpress subscriber account is needed – is there an issue with this ?

[w3215]

Using bbpress registration for my forum, can anyone–including people without any wordpress account–register?

I would assume so and hope so, but I saw that this bbpress-powered forum requires a wordpress account for registration.

Hi All,

Had the same issue as described above. The default phpbb.php import script didn’t convert anonymous users of topics and replies and the Pixenated script looped infinately with the conversion of users.

I’ve fixed the script and uploaded to PasteBin. Feel free to share widely.

How To:
1) Upgrade phpBB to v.3.2.5
2) Install BBpress 2.6 RC7
3) Upload to /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters/phpbb.php

Remember that real men don’t do backups. They cry a lot. 🙂

Hi,

We’ve got a demo set-up running a site that uses both bbpress and memberpress. We’re pretty close to being able to move this to the production site, but in running through what a user/member would be experiencing, we noticed that logged-in users are able to view the forum (we have one forum, many topics) just fine. They/we can click on another user’s name that is linked to their bbpress profile — and we can edit another person’s profile details.

Memberpress told me to use a rule to restrict access, but I don’t see how to block it unless the Edit portion on a profile page is a specially named post? I’ve tried and don’t seem able to block it. They are unable to tell me what else to do.

bbPress version 2.5.14
wordpress version 5.1

Any help in this matter would be so appreciative.

One follow-up note. When I investigated how performant bbpress is, I came across this discussion–saying essentially “don’t worry, version 2.6 is almost here, and it is very fast”. That discussion was over 4 years ago.

BBPress for HUGE forums? Capable?

What is the status of bbpress?

[w3215]

Hi. I recently installed BBPress and was surprised the latest version for installation was 2.5.14. I also get a notice that the plugin “has not been tested with your current version of WordPress.”

Is BBPress being maintained? What is the expected timing for 2.6?

Performance/speed is important to me, and last I looked into it 2.6 was supposed to be a big improvement.

[Robin W]

it’s not much of a codex, but it’s the only one there is! I wrote quite a lot if it when I started using bbpress – I’m just a bbpress user who helps on here. If you’d like to contribute, post suggested improvements and I’ll add them – just saying 🙂

So if your code was working a few days ago, and it now isn’t, then you must have upgraded the theme, a plugin or changed something else. Without knowing what it’s hard to help.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to successfully import Kunena 5? Currently only Kunena 3 supported.

I was wondering whether it might be possible using another forum as a middle step.

And if the import into bbPress is achieved, will users be able to set a new password since the old Kunena one probably won’t work?

[Pleiades]

I have a bbPress forum integrated with WooCommerce.
Until a few days ago it was working fine, but now

$uid = bbp_get_current_user_id();

if ( bbp_has_forums( array(
     'author' => $uid
 )) ) :

returns bool(false) regardless of the user or user role.

On a side note, when searching codex.bbpress.org, the results I (don’t) get:

bbp_get_current_user_id – “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.”
bbp_has_forums – “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.”
bbp_forums – “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.”
bbp_the_forum – “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.”

I understand these are just wrappers for WP_Query, but there are some obviously also forum-specific options. It doesn’t seem like much of a codex. Just saying.

Unfortunately, the problem not solved.
Scheduled topics are published, but appear in the list of topics with the first save date (not with the time of the delayed publication).

Have an idea to use a some outside buffer for publishing. Is there such a remote plugin scheduler? Something like posting via email-just schedule a date in the mail-client. But works for the blog, not for bbpress.

Hi, I imported a vbulletin forum into bbpress.
When I do the repair, I get a blank page for these 2:
– Recalculate the position of each re-entry
– Reset existing users to default forum rules

I tried again and again, always the same result.
How can I solve?
Thanks!

I have two wordpress sites, one with bbpress forum running since 7 years and one is new which is running since 2 years.

I want to migrate forum from old site to new site. But i have checked that post ids of old forum already present in new wordpress site which may conflict.

I tried Export import from WP tool but not working as topics and replies and authors are not mapped properly. Also i am not sure if import can update existing posts as forum if post id is matched while import.

Also tried bbpress import feature but there no way to transfer from bbpress to bbpress

I don’t want to loos any forum, topic, replies and relationship during import.

Thanks,
Pankaj

[Robin W]

the templates are in

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress

start with content-archive-forum which is the main forums list, and then you’ll see how the other templates are called

[Oaz]

yes, apostrophes are okay now, with same result as before : links do not appear anymore in new topics. i disable the code, links display…

So strange this function is not in bbpresscore, I suppose many of us need it..

Anyway, thank you so much for your help and patience Robin. I spent much time on this without results. I think I’ll just lokk for another system than bbpress for my forum..

Hi All,

I am facing an issue while importing bbpreess forum data to another wordpress bbpress forum.

I have checked that new wordprees setup Post ids are matching with the bbpress forum, topics and replies post ids. So it could lead in conflict.

Is there best way to migrate forum properly with new post ids for forum, topics and replies with proper relationship/linking of forums, topics and replies.

Looking for help Urgently !!

Note: I am using new bbpress Version 2.5.14 and old bbpress version is also 2.5.14

Thanks,
Pankaj

Guys take a look robin has already share it the plugin with which you can style the bbpress. Try it out it is amazing.

[Ikenna Duru]

Hallo,
I run https://figeria.com , a forum based on WordPress. but please I need help addding a related forum topic to the forum.
So if anyone have a plugin that can display “related forum topics” or similar topic for BBPRESS, please kindly share. Thanks in advance!.

We have just launched our site. Our site was running very fast in all other sections except bbPress. Each reply will take like 5=7 seconds to post.

What can we do to make our bbPress run as fast as this one we are using for bbPress support?

We have stripped all unnecessary plugins associated with bbPress. The only plugin we keep that is related to bbPress on our site is a notification plugin. It sends out a notification to users when a reply is made to their topic – Does bbPress have this function built in? We could not seem to find this function in bbPress. bbPress has a notification that is sent to all subscribers but not specific to the author of the topic. Am I correct?

Any advice you provide is greatly appreciated.

Well, this thread is pretty old and I have a way how you can enable AMP for bbpress pages.

Before going to enable AMP support you need below things:
– Code snippets plugin
– AMP plugin

Create a new code snippet and add the following code:
add_action( ‘amp_init’, ‘amp_bbpress_init’ );
function amp_bbpress_init() {
add_post_type_support( ‘topic’, AMP_QUERY_VAR );
}

if the forum is set as private, then you will not see topics or replies in the profile for that forum unless logged in.

what theme and other bbpress related plugins are you running?

[oskarlin]

If I’m not logged in to my bbpress forum I can’t see any posts or forums at all which is exactly how I want it to be. But what I can do is see each users profile and his/hers answers on the page of each user:

/forums/users/myname/replies/

…even though I’m not logged in.

Is this a bug or is there a setting I’ve missed out?

Hello,
I already setup a yoast seo pro plugin on my site. now i install and activate bbpress on my site but i am not able to see forum and topic menu in wp-admibn section can you please help me on this.

We are getting notification from yoast seo.
We’ve recently improved the functionality of the Search Appearance settings. Unfortunately, we’ve discovered that for some edge-cases, saving the settings for specific post type archives might have gone wrong.

Please check the archive templates for the following content types: forum, topic.

That looks like an issue with the bbp-messages plugin, which is not part of bbpress, you’ll need to post on their forum

[notrandom]
