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)?

[Robin W]

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

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…

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.

no special bbpress themes, most themes work with bbpress, but you may want to use this to style the forums t match your theme and improve their look.

Hi guys I am planning to install bbPress in my website but I want to know any theme is compatible with bbPress or I have to use bbPress themes. Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the explanation, now make more sense how buddypress and bbpress work together.

The unique problem that I saw is that new topics doesnt create notifications for forum subscribers. E-mail notifications are send, but no notification is created for buddypress notification area.

For forum replies e-mails notifications and buddypress notification are crate normally.

[Adarsh Verma]

I’ve been using bbPress and BuddyPress since long and am aware that if a user creates a topic in any forum, that also gets listed in user profile -> Forums tab.

Here is what exactly I’ve done:

When I create a private group and attach a forum with it. And a non-admin member becomes a member of that private group. Now that member creates a topic in that private forum, that topic does show globally on the /forums page. But when that user checks his profile for the topics he created, there no topic is shown. Which means the topics that show up globally, doesn’t show on the profile page.

For the information, I’m using the following versions of the plugins and theme:
1. bbPress – 2.5.14
2. BuddyPress – 3.2.0
3. Twenty Sixteen – 1.5
4. WordPress – 4.9.8

Please help me with this issue. Also, let me know if some guys have come across such a situation.

Thanks in advance!

bbpress uses subscriptions which are turned on in the forums settings.

Users who then subscribe to a forum are emailed notifications when a new topic is posted in that forum, and can then subscribe to the topic to receive notifications of replies.

Is this what you need, or can you come back with further info.

[Leandro]

Hello,

Recently I started to setup a community using buddypress and bbpress and only after a few tests I noticed that when someone create or reply a topic no notification is created. This is a bit frustrating considering how important the notifications are to keep track of what is happening in the community.

Looking through the forum for a solution I found a topic with a similar subject, however when trying to use their code a empty notification is created (there is no text or description). Here is the topic: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-reply-notification-link-to-the-reply/

Anyone can tell me if the code above still working? I think that something changed since that this code was published, but I cant figured out what.

[Robin W]

the screenshot says that you are using buddypress and the buddypress profile as well, and that code is just for bbpress.

If you paste your reply immediately above on the buddypress support site, someone should be able to tell you the correct add_action to hook to buddypress profile

I just did that actually….didn’t see the notice until I activated the bbpress toolkit plugin previously. If I disable it, then it goes away. If I turn off debug in config, the message goes away.

[Martin J]

Greetings.

bbPress Version 2.5.14
Only shows if I have debug on, and noticed this on the main “forums” page. I should also mention that this started to show when I activated the bbPress Toolkit plugin Version 1.0.12

But when I noticed the error message related to a bbpress includes file, I thought I would post this.

[Martin J]

This shows up for me…

“Notice: Undefined index: forum_id in D:\xampp\htdocs\rp\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\forums\template.php on line 767”

[baz13]

Thank you. I was introduced to WordPress a few weeks ago so everything is new to me. If there is an alternate bbpress support plugin other than these two you recommended please let me know.
