Hi,

It does use the template of the page because themes with full support for bbPress are very rare, so bbPress is injecting own content into the virtual page, and it uses the page template. You can create a bbpress.php template based on the page.php, and create styling for it, or you can modify styling for the page template when the bbPress is using it to change the width of the content.

I wonder If I can set an email address for bbpress that is different from my WordPress admin email address? Ideally I should be able to set a different email addresses per forum (to send notifications to the moderators and/or the keymasters).
Does anyone know of a plugin or some code to make that possible?

Hello everyone,
I have installed bbpress on to my webpage in order to create a forum. I just dont seem to find a way to fit bbpress into the template of a static page. It always looks like using the format of a post. I have tried several Plugins (e.g. bbtweaks) and wrapped the forum in page.php.
http://www.fibio.de/fibio-forum is the site I am having trouble with. I would like to have the forum as big as the static pages are..
Everything is up to date.
hanks for your help!

[Robin W]

ok, can’t help you further, suggest you post on

https://wordpress.slack.com/messages/bbpress/

and see if one of the devs can help

[Robin W]

bbpress does not set any pending.

I don’t know if buddypress does, or if you are using another plugin to do pending?

[Robin W]

go to

bbPress

and select Advanced view on the right hand side

and at the bottom of the page you will find ‘previous versions’

you can select and download from there

Can anyone point me the place where i can find the unit test for specific bbpress version?

In the trac repo, only the trunk/beta/rc have the unit test folder. But on the standard release, it’s just the production version.

Maybe there’s already a way to do it in trac’s interface but I couldn’t figure out.

For example, I want to get the unit test for version 2.5.12 to run some compatibility test on my plugin. How can I get that?

Thanks much 🙂

Using the following code, when I select Outfit Leader as the bbpress role, it displays ‘Member’ where it used to say ‘Keymaster’ on a forums post under the bbp-author-role class tag.

	function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
 
	$bbp_roles['my_custom_role1'] = array(
	'name' => 'Outfit Leader',
	'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() )
	);
	$bbp_roles['my_custom_role2'] = array(
	'name' => 'Chief of Staff',
	'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() ) 
	);
	$bbp_roles['my_custom_role3'] = array(
	'name' => 'Executive Officer',
	'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() ) 
	);
	return $bbp_roles;
	}
	add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );

Expected functionality: Custom Roles would replace the name of the role they are getting capabilities from. So in this case each forums topic by this user would have their avatar, name below that, role name below that, and finally IP address below that.

Bumping this as the sentiment in the original post about the lack of progress with maintaining bbbpress as an active project seems to be even more relevant now than when this topic was made.

While somehow wordpress.org indicates the bbpress plugin was last updated a week ago, the current version 2.5.14 was released in September 2017.

The next release as far as I can tell is 2.60, for which the latest development version, rc5, was first put out for feedback 13 months ago.

it is not reasonable to call this project under active development.

I added a link to a private forum in the menu so that a logged in user could easily access the forum. Yes I could add a menu for logged in users, but I decided to instead redirect the not logged in users.

Here is the code I used:

// Redirect private bbPress forum to specific page.
add_action('template_redirect', 'private_content_redirect_to_login', 9);
function private_content_redirect_to_login() {
  global $wp_query,$wpdb;
  if (is_404()) {
    $host = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
    $path = dirname($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
    $forums = "forum";
    $location = "https://direitoshumanosangola.org/not-logged-in/";
    }
    if(strpos( $path, $forums ) !== false){
      wp_safe_redirect($location);
      exit;
  }
}

I made a tutorial for it here:

if you actually posted ‘After clicking on register button wp shows wp-login.php page but without login form. Only -1 in upper left corner.’ on a wordpress forum, why would they even mention bbpress? Youy must have asked a question mentioning bbpress.

I have looked at the issue and it is a wordpress issue, but general advice

It could be a theme or plugin issue issue, so you’ll need to test to find out which

Themes

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

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Then come back

I post the same question on wordpress.org and they say: Ask on bbpress..

So, again, when I try to register on bbpress forum on my website after inserting the username and mail and pressing the Register button on https://karate-training.net/wp-login.php I see only -1 in upper left corner.

Did anyone have a similar problem?

Here is the example

bbpress juts uses wordpress registration so please post to the wordpress support forum

@liyacaty this and several other posts you have responded to are for version 1 of bbpress which was standalone. Posts over about 5 years are version 1, and not worth adding to

When u load wordpress function inside bbpress. U already integrate both design point and database point. You only need to add WP template tags inside bbpress template.and mostly use wp default functons.

@looimaster I’m just a bbpress user trying to put something back on the open software community

bbpress has https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ as it’s code improvement tool

I have the latest RC of bbpress, trying to import from a phpbb 3.2.0 install. I have reset it and started it and reset it and started it and no matter what I do, it starts with “no users to import” and then it imports thousands of forums/topics all assigned to anonymous.

Is there a way to only import users at first and once it successfully does it, then do the normal import of the forums/topics and so forth?

Or is there a common issue that has been found with importing users that can be fixed by adjusting something in the source database (or…something)?

Hey all, we’re having trouble with bbpress replies, and we can’t seem to figure out what the issue is.

Everything works fine except when a normal “subscriber” level user tries to reply to his own post in the bbpress forum. The “subscriber” level has some additional permissions that we’ve added in using the User Role editor plugin. If he tries to reply to his own post, he gets this error message:

“ERROR: You do not have permission to reply.”

He can create posts, reply to other posts, but just not his own. I’ve tested this with our test account, and the same thing happens with the test account.

We are using the User Role Editor plugin, and our developer has checked the settings but they seem to be correct.

Our next plan is to create a new role in WP, with the same capabilities as the custom “subscriber” level. Wondering if any of you have had this experience, or have suggestions for what we should try.

I found another way to add forums to the menu at DesignBombs which seems to do it. Instead of creating a page and embedding the short code in it, just used the forums to add to the menu. It does not initially have the top level page with 4 sub forums but that is OK.

[jh20001]

I also think the many attempts to import, find an error, add the column, import, find an error, add the column…..etc, led to bbpress having a meltdown somewhere possibly as in WordPress, when you click on the forums link in the menu or the “All Forums” sub menu item, it leads to a ERROR 502 – BAD GATEWAY.

I tried re-installing the plugin but the forums listing menu item is shot. I even upgraded to the current release candidate.

On a positive note, the current release candidate seems to be importing data….working on importing up to convert 50k+ topics right now. Even though the forum listing in admin screen is screwed, this is at least a good test to see what happens on the import I guess…

I finally had enough with phpbb and installed a wordpress JUST for my forums. I installed bbpress in it and have been trying to import the forums over. First it kept erroring saying missing table fields or whatever, so I kept adding the table fields to the areas of the phpbb’s sql DB where it was looking for them..then it got stuck with the “Starting Conversion” and a spinning wheel. Everytime I had chosen “Start Over” I would get the “Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes” error. Just not my day I guess. 🙁

I had a few questions…

1) Does the importer not support 3.2.0? I figured it does by now since it states phpBB 3.x
2) Can you make the main index page of the WordPress site the forums? This way the wordpress is for nothing other than the forums? (once things do get working…)
3) Am I missing anything lol…I’m rackin my mind on this and it’s driving me nuts 🙂

I can’t wait to be in a better environment for the forums…

[ak08820]

Hello
I am trying to use bbPress for a forum and when I use the short code to generate the index it does not show correctly. It does show a link (http://localhost/my-app/wordpress/forums/forum/wvv-forums/)for the index and if I click on the link it shows a better formatted list.

I have 4 sub-forums and instead of 1 per line, it shows 2 per line. Using Twenty Seventeen and have previewed with sixteen and fifteen themes, too with no effect.

What do I need to do to fix this?

Thanks in advance.
