I have the same issue. Just to add further to this issue, when I deactivated the learnpress bbpress integration plugin, the forum role column reverted back to the original forum roles. I am able to change the user forum role then.

Hi Experts,

BBPress 2.5.14 and also using BB style pack 3.9.2
Wordpress version 4.9.6
Site url: StandUpGirl.com

Issue:
I am getting many errors in the google search console for titles that have words like haven’t, won’t, I’m which are contraction words. These words show up as this sample /forums/topic/i-haven-t-posted-in-a-while-but/ where you can see the word haven’t is haven-t. The search bots don’t understand the ‘t’ and I get errors. Also if a user puts an comma in the title I get errors.

How do I fix this?

Thank you so much for giving me help!
Diana

Hmmm… this error from class-bbp-converter-base.php seems never to be shown:

// Connection failed
if ( ! $this->opdb->db_connect( false ) ) {
$error = new WP_Error( ‘bbp_converter_db_connection_failed’, esc_html__( ‘Database connection failed.’, ‘bbpress’ ) );
wp_send_json_error( $error );
}

You can leave all the database fields blank or enter rubbish and it still says:

Stopped

Starting Import…

Ready to go.

Which leads me to wonder, what other informational/error messages are not shown.

Checkout the phpBB converter, it’s one of the best example implementations.

Use _bbp_old_topic_id to grab your old topic id:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/phpBB.php#L183

p.s. The above phpBB converter uses bbPress 2.6 alpha which has many new refinements for the importer over bbPress 2.5, I’d suggest you use bbPress 2.6 alpha for any imports due to those improvements, it can be found here https://bbpress.org/download (bbPress.org and wordpress.org both use bbPress 2.6)

I get the error message “Oh bother! No topics were found here!”. I have installed bbpress and working on a divi theme. My shortcode for forum works but not my topics or index short code and I get this error. https://motionspecificrelease.ca/msr-community/

Hi All,

I have a forum in SQLITE format and I want to import it into bbPress.

I decided that if I was going to have to convert to a MYSQL database, I might as well use the schema indicated in Example.php

As I didn’t *actually* have the schema, I had to *guess* based on the fields in Example.php

For example:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS forums_table (

_bbp_old_forum_id int(10) NOT NULL default 0,

the_parent_id int(10) NOT NULL default 0,

the_topic_count int(10) NOT NULL default 0,

the_reply_count int(10) NOT NULL default 0,

the_total_topic_count int(10) NOT NULL default 0,

the_total_reply_count int(10) NOT NULL default 0,

the_forum_title varchar(150) NOT NULL default ‘ ‘,

the_forum_slug varchar(255) NOT NULL default ‘ ‘,

the_forum_description text NOT NULL,

the_forum_order int(10) NOT NULL default 0,

the_forum_type int(10) NOT NULL default 0,

the_forum_status int(10) NOT NULL default 0

);

Having created the database as it is in Example.php, all I needed to do was load the MYSQL database from my SQLITE database.

Job done!

Yeah? Not so fast…

The import fails here:

SELECT convert(topics_table.the_topic_id USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_id,convert(topics_table.the_topic_reply_count USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_reply_count,convert(topics_table.the_total_topic_reply_count USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_total_topic_reply_count,convert(topics_table.the_topic_parent_forum_id USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_parent_forum_id,convert(topics_table.the_topic_author_id USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_author_id,convert(topics_table.the_topic_author_ip_address USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_author_ip_address,convert(topics_table.the_topic_content USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_content,convert(topics_table.the_topic_title USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_title,convert(topics_table.the_topic_slug USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_slug,convert(topics_table.the_topic_sticky_status USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_sticky_status,convert(topics_table.the_topic_creation_date USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_creation_date,convert(topics_table.the_topic_modified_date USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_modified_date,convert(replies_table.the_topic_id USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_id FROM topics_table AS topics_table INNER JOIN replies_table
AS replies_table USING replies_table.the_topic_id = topics_table.the_topic_id WHERE forums_table.the_topic_id = 0 LIMIT 0, 100

Lookee thar… a mystery field!

forums_table.the_topic_id

Are there any other mandatory fields in the import schema that are not referenced in Example.php?

And… what field from my database should I load to forums_table.the_topic_id ?

Thanks!

bbPress includes a tool to delete all the bbPress data

Install and activate the bbPress plugin again
Go to Tools -> Forums -> “Reset Forums” tab
Check the “Are you sure you want to do this?” checkbox
Click “Reset bbPress”
Deactivate and delete the bbPress plugin
This will remove all bbPress data from your WordPress database, including custom post types, topic tag taxonomy and user meta.

The Trac section of the bbpress.org website has some issues in the header/navigation. It’s been like that for a few months, keep forgetting to point it out.

It should look like this: https://i.imgur.com/1BtCGv8.png

…but it looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/x3LB6QV.png

I have checked on a few computers/browsers.

What is min hosting requirements for bbPress

[Clivesmith]

I am trying to stick a reply at the top of the replies page, can anyone help please.
to explain..
I have a forum called countries containing
forums for each country, inside each country (forum) are topics called airport names,
inside each topic (airport names) are replies, I would like to stick one of the replies to the top of the list of replies for that airport, the one I want to stick is unlikely to be the first entry for that airport.
I hope that makes sense.

WordPress 4.9.6 running twentytwelve child theme theme, bbpress Version 2.5.14

Code goes into the file functions.php that you can find on Appearance – Editor – Function.php. Open the file and paste it at the end. Just be careful because depending the theme code it can work fine or break your wordpress (if it breaks the wp just remove the code using cpanel or ftp).

The code allow you to upload featured image for bbpress forums. Then you can give it css style for a better looking.

To do this you need administrator access.

[u_Oi]

With follow code you can upload a featured image for forums… But if you want a good looking image on social networks I recommend you install Yoast (for example) to upload a custom image for share options.

/* Add Featured Image to bbPress Forums */
add_post_type_support('forum', array('thumbnail'));
function ks_forum_icons() {
if ( 'forum' == get_post_type() ) {
global $post;
if ( has_post_thumbnail($post->ID) )
echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID,'thumbnail',array('class' => 'alignleft forum-icon'));
}
}
add_action('bbp_theme_before_forum_title','ks_forum_icons');

When we post a link to our forums on Facebook, the link preview isn’t very attractive. In an attempt to make that appear differently on Facebook, I’ve created a ‘Featured Image’. I went in to our website to upload that image, but since there is no Page where bbPress lives on our site, I can’t find a way to apply an image to the forum as a “featured image”.

How can I make that happen?

[Martin J]

Thanks for the follow up. Here is what I did…

1. Disabled all plugins except bbpress
2. I switched to a WP default theme, ie: twentyfifteen and twentyseventeen
3. Did the above with Chrome, Firefox, and MS Edge browsers

Same thing still happens. So with the admin bar disabled, and logging in from the default WP login screen, and with bbpress enabled, I just get redirected to the site’s front page — no admin page. So I still have to add wp-admin/ at the end of the url address to get into the admin area. If I disable bbpress, then everything works normal. Enable it again, goes back to the issue.

As mentioned, I’ve encountered this for at least a couple years. So based on testing, it’s not theme related and not plugin (other plugins) related. Something about bbpress is redirecting after logging in with the default WP login and not sending me directly into the admin.

If there is something coded in bbpress for “Forum logging in” for front-end users, then I can see this being relevant. However, logging into the admin, is the problem.

Hi,

I have the following code in my themes functions.php
function bbp_reverse_reply_order( $query = array() ) { // bbp_has_replies_query is depricated ?
$query['order']='DESC';
return $query;
}
add_filter('bbp_has_replies_query','bbp_reverse_reply_order');

This works fine except when a new reply is added, you get redirected to the page with the oldest replies instead of the page that contains the just added reply. This seems to be an old problem, have tried various plugins, but they all lead to the same outcome.

So the question is how to force, after adding a new reply, to be directed to the right page.

This is not standard behaviour.

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

[Martin J]

This has been a long time issue where bbpress is installed and when you log into the admin area (dashboard) of your website, you lose the admin page and end up on the front-end of your website. This happens all the time and not sure why this has never officially been addressed.

I have the admin-bar disabled on the front-end of the site because it annoys me and don’t want to see it. So when I log into the admin, I lose the admin page and end up on the front of the site. Because I disabled the admin-bar, I have to always manually type in any admin page to get back into the admin area.

Why is this happening and even though I have not tried the upcoming 2.6 version, I’m hoping this has been fixed for that one.

bbp style pack

will let you style bbpress

@booknerds

im not sure antispam bee is compatible with bbPress though, there is a plugin for bbPress that is inspired by antispam bee though.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-antispam/

maybe you should manually approve users using this plugin too

New User Approve

I think it would be more better to go through the list of Best security plugins to keep website secure and protected.

[douglaslovin83]

I am looking for a way so that when a User posts into a specific BBPress forum, it will put a Tab on their buddypress profile with a link to that post.

Any guidance?

Hi,

I tried Upwork and Freelancer but it seems kinda hard to find someone who really knows BBpress.

I am looking to customize my existing forums (and BuddyPress) so that my forums have a custom user signature with company logo.

I have a fullset of detailed mockups and notes.

Any suggestions on hiring a freelance programmer, referrals, or anyone a programmer who is interested in taking a look at the project?

Much appreciated.
Robert

hi @casiepa,

You are welcome to include our bbpress forum https://www.ibf.lv/ (internet business forum for Latvians) to the showcase if you think it resembles the actual brotherhood of active bbpress forums.

Good enough? 😉

My website is in Spanish, but bbpress appears in English.

Buddypress is translated without problem. In change, the bbpress translation does not work even if you have uploaded the bbpress-es_ES.po and bbpress-es_ES.mo files to / www / wp-content / languages / bbpress after creating the folder.

In the following link you can check how it is in English:
