bbpress is a free plugin and this forum is a community forum – there are no paid staff, so questions are answered by volunteers.

bbpress uses wordpress registration, so the issue is a wordpress one, and as suggested by the password reset, you should contact you host provider.

also try https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/

I had to delete bbPress while I worked on my site design, but it seems to have left a bunch of user roles behind and I cannot find any way to get rid of them. How can I do that?

Does bbPress add any cookies beyond the standard WordPress login cookies? We’re putting together the list of all the cookies the site sets and aren’t sure if bbPress is adding any. If it does add any, could you list the name, duration and purpose of the cookie(s)?

Hello,

I just installed the bbpress plugin and created page, new topics in forum. However, when I enter the email address in registration form, the email is not being sent to my address. I almost tried with 3 different email addresses. But received none of the confirmation email.

I also added
add_filter( ‘bp_email_use_wp_mail’, ‘__return_true’ ); to my functions.php file.

Please help me out with this..

No, bbPress adds imported_ to the username in the wp_bp_xprofile_data table. Which appears en lieu of the username on all forums. However, the imported_ namespace is not in the wp_users table. It’s only an issue in bbPress.

[Robin W]

It could be a theme or plugin issue

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.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

[Robin W]

hmm – so if you temnporarily deactivate bbpress and then register as a new user – you get ‘imported_…’

yes ?

[Robin W]

untested, but try

<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_user_topics_created' ); ?>

	<div id="bbp-user-topics-started" class="bbp-user-topics-started">
		<div class="bbp-user-section">

<?php $user_id = get_current_user_id() ; ?>

			<?php if ( bbp_get_user_topics_started($user_id ) ) : ?>

				<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>

				<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop',       'topics' ); ?>

				<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>

			<?php else : ?>

				<p><?php bbp_is_user_home() ? _e( 'You have not started any topics.', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'This user has not started any topics.', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>

			<?php endif; ?>

		</div>
	</div><!-- #bbp-user-topics-started -->

<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_user_topics_created' ); ?>

This sets the user up as current user

[quigley05]

I’m customizing my buddypress/bbpress user pages to be taken out of their traditional framework and placing that data on indvidual pages. However, when I do this the code has issues recognizing the current user and automatically ignores the logged in user. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

URL: http://obeii.com/discussions-topics-started/

CODE: (topics started)

<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_user_topics_created' ); ?>

	<div id="bbp-user-topics-started" class="bbp-user-topics-started">
		<div class="bbp-user-section">

			<?php if ( bbp_get_user_topics_started() ) : ?>

				<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>

				<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop',       'topics' ); ?>

				<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>

			<?php else : ?>

				<p><?php bbp_is_user_home() ? _e( 'You have not started any topics.', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'This user has not started any topics.', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>

			<?php endif; ?>

		</div>
	</div><!-- #bbp-user-topics-started -->

<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_user_topics_created' ); ?>

Yes, a user signs up through memberpress, which creates a username record in wp_user. Then, for whatever reason, instead of the nicename or whatever in the wp_bp_xprofile_data table, those users are labeled as imported_nicename, and that’s what is visible on bbpress. If a user goes to change their username, it apparently fixes the issue. But I’m operating on a dozen or more signups a day, and over 7k users.

[sdeeds]

No, actually I am seeing this issue on freshly created users.
To give you a little more info, it’s a membership site which leverages MemberPress and bbPress is connected to BuddyPress.

Any thoughts?

Hello @robin-w, this is the code

add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names' );

I am trying to import the forums and topics from our existing phpBB forums. There are about a dozen forums, and about 400 topics and 1600 posts. I have set the values on the Import Forums page to the following:

Select Platform = phpBB
Database Server = mssql2.<hostingdomain>.com
Database Port = 3306
Database Name = <name of the database>
Database Username = <admin user>
Database Password = <password>
Table Prefix = phpbb_

However, when I start the conversion, it reports “No forums to convert”, “No forum parents to convert”, and so on.

I do not get any errors when I run the conversion. The existing phpBB forums are in a MSSQL database and not a MySQL database. I suspect that this may be the reason nothing is discovered.

Any help would be appreciated.

[Robin W]

it is not good practise to amend bbpress (or any plugin) files.

The code should go in the custom css area of your there if it has one, or via a plugin such as https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/

for the threads are, the simplest would be to use my style pack plugin

bbp style pack

and change the roles in

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>forum roles

for your specific area, we would need the code you added in your functions file, but that should be able to then use the plugin settings above

Hello BBPRESS community,

I really want to change color of my usergroups in my forum made by bbpress.
I have the standard role (keymaster, moderator, blocked ecc) but with names modified by editing the file functions.php in my theme folder.

Now I would like to change the color in the status bar and in the topic/threads, example Administrator in the red, moderators in blue ecc.
I tried a insert this code in bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css:

.bbp-author-role-keymaster {
background:blue;
color:white;
padding:0 5px;
}

but it does not change anything, why?
I want to change color here

View post on imgur.com

and in threads/topic discussion.
How I do?
Thank you very much.

[Martin J]

Nope, only the adminbar on the front-end of the site. But that’s the issue, when I log in, I get redirected to the front-end of the site. I have to manually type in any admin page…basically /wp-admin.php

So something about bbpress is doing this. Again, if I disable bbpress, everything goes back to normal.

[sdeeds]

Because here is a reference to it from 5 years ago:

phpBB import username issue

and I can confirm that it is happening because of bbpress, though I don’t understand why.

[Robin W]

not sure how this is related to bbpress ?

Hey, this is a bit of a unique situation, so I’m not sure how much you’ll be able to help. We had a bbPress forum which we closed in 2015. The “topics” we migrated to a custom post type so that we could keep them published, but without the forum framework.

Recently, we’ve decided to re-open the forums on a new site. I exported the Forums, the Topics (which I switched back to the “topic” custom post type), and the Replies. We’re having two issues:

1) The topics are not longer associated with their respective forums. Same for the replies with their topics. I know we can manually re-associate them, but there are hundreds of topics and replies. I’ve tried the Repair tool under the Tools menu, but it didn’t fix anything. Are there any other options?

2) Additionally, the replies are not appearing in admin at all. I can see that there are 300+ published replies but where the list should be, I instead get this fatal error:

Fatal error</b>: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4096 bytes) in <b>xxxxxx\wp-includes\class-wp-hook.php</b> on line <b>279</b>

Any help on either of these would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I am using bbpress too and the group forums don’t show @mention users highlighted or any notifications to tagged user.

[Robin W]

so you are not using bbpress ?

[Robin W]

It could be a theme or plugin issue

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.

Themes

Hi,

I was able to set up and add forums no problem when i first downloaded and installed bbPress, however, after that first time, the forum section in my dashboard sidebar has disappeared. I cannot find ANYWHERE in my settings, users nor on the forum page itself where I can add and edit forums. I have tired everything, even unactivating, deleting and reinstalling bbPress multiple times. I am very frustrated as I need to change and add forums for work.

Some help would be much appreiciated.

Thanks,

The STAQ team.
