Can anyone tell me where I can find someone? I’ve tried Upwork.

I need someone to import Invision Powerboard forum to BBPress. I have tried importing myself. I have the correct credentials, but I get WP database errors that are beyond me. The forum will be archived once moved to new location. The client just wants to keep the old forum for reference and history, but they don’t want to continue paying Invision for use.

If you prefer to use other forum software for the import rather than WP/BBpress, this is okay. I am happy to take suggestions.

bbpress doesn’t override permissions, and works fine on several hundred thousand sites. Sever or webpage cache is the almost certainly the culprit – why it was affecting you we will never know.

[418design]

No not on the back button. I just mean they navigate back to the forum.

If I set the registration process to direct users to the page with the forum on, when they get there you have to refresh the page for the site to realise you are logged in and it can show the previously hidden forums.

To be honest I actually swapped over to Asgaros this morning. The fact BBpress overrides all permissions was the killer in all this. There was no way around it.

Not sure if its a server cache or something causing my original problem?

Hello Robin,

I have checked. But still I cannot find out why.

When I installed the bbpress, it is not installed as the default looks. maybe because the theme author revised it automatically ? So this plugin does not work?

[matevoun]

Merci de ce retour 😉

Comment puis-je faire pour que des users puissent s’inscrire et poster sur le bbpress ?
Jen e comprends pas forcement commet faire, étant donné que mon site n’intègre pas d’article ni de Blog. Juste des pages statiques sans commentaires.

Hello dear support,

our site is ibywind.com and we are on wordpress pro theme from theme.co . And we have installed bbpress forum by plugin installation.

The problem now is the forums part from bbpress is independent from the wordpress pro theme. So the header of topics page are totally different from the wordpress part. And I don’t know how to make the topic part looks the same as the forum page part.

The forum page is the same as the wordpress theme, but the topics part are different.

Thought I could maybe get around this with somemthing like wp-members and just hiding the page altogether until a user is logged in but it seems BBpress has other ideas for a users permissions that override anything wp-members does…

[418design]

Just realised what might be causing some confusion but the problem still seems to exist.

I am using a plugin to hide the forums so they are private. Thats why when your not logged in you see a bbpress message that I have modified to say you need to login (Think it said there are no forums here by default).

I have now made some of the forums available to the public in the hope that might work but I just tested. Went to the site, loaded the forum, logged in, went back to the forum and I have to refresh the page/cache before I can see the form to post a new topic.

Its not just my local cache either, someone else had the same problem.

Feel like I am missing something stupid! Gravity forms is powering my registration process if that makes any difference?

[418design]

Im confused.

Guests come to my website and see the forum link, they click it at which point BBPress has a message saying you need to register to view the forums.

They then go to register, fill out their details, create an account and login.

Once they are logged in they go back to the forum.

Because of caching the forum page still doesnt load the forums, it continues to show the “You must register/login” type message.

[jamesp4578]

Is there a way for forum users to flag abusive posts (like a Twitter-style ‘Report tweet’ function)?

I tried the plugin “Safe Report Comments” and a later fork, but they didn’t work.

(I’m on the latest WP/bbPress.)

[418design]

i mean once they have registered and logged in.

if they visited the page with forums on before all that when they return logged in it still shows the default bbpress you must register message.

you have to refresh to see the forum?

[418design]

Hi,

Just setup BBPress for the first time and have one problem. If you go to the forum page and then register, login and go back to the forum page it still shows the “You need to register to view the forums” message until you clear your cache.

I am not using any caching plugins on the site at all yet.

Is this normal? Is there a work around?

TIA

Unable to Delete, Edit or Close *Some* Topics

During cleanup, I came across topics that I was trying to close and wouldn’t close. This happens both in the front end and back end. In the backend, the message ‘Topic…has been closed successfully’ is displayed; however, the topic remains open. In troubleshooting, I tried to edit the topics. When I update the topic, it just reverts changes. I have found about 40 topics that have this behavior, but other topics close just fine. I am doing a massive cleanup and have about 4800 more topics to review and potentially close, but presume I will run into more as I go along.

Steps I took to troubleshoot further: deactivated all plugins except, bbpress; switched to default WP theme, reset permalink, ran repair tools and turned on debug. The same behavior exists and debug is not throwing any errors.

I looked at underlying records for some of these problematic topics in the database and the post status is published, comment status is closed in wp_posts. Not sure if this information helps, but I also took a look at the wp_postmeta and found that there are ~4 entries for _bbp_status with meta value published on each of these topics and 25+ entries for _sticky_post with meta value 0. I thought the _sticky_post meta was interesting because these topics were not sticky.

I’m using WP 4.9.2 and bbpress 2.5.14

Probably more info than needed —- but I really need to close these topics if anyone can help.

Hello,

how is it possible to add rel=”next” & rel=”prev” for paginated content/archives without a plugin, maybe with a function?

I am using BBP 2.5.14, WP 4.9.1 and Forum – A responsive theme for bbPress plugin by Dannci | ThemeForest.

Thank you,

the Process

What settings of bbPress will enable our users to upload media files from their personal cabinet without any size or amount restrictions?

[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

Hi Robin,
Sorry for the late reply. I had a health issue that set me back a few weeks. I did some testing on a vanilla WordPress install this morning, and it looks like this issue affects standard BBPress as well. Here’s what I did:

1.) Set up a local WordPress installation. Added Buddypress, BBPress and WP Mail Logging as the only plugins (latest versions on everything).
2.) Created several users and a forum. Logged in with each user account and subscribed it to the forum.
3.) Went to Settings->Discussion from the WP Dashboard and set it to hold a comment in the moderation queue if it has one or more hyperlinks
4.) Created a new topic that had no hyperlinks (i.e., did not go to moderation). WP Mail Logging showed that a new topic notification was sent and all subscribed users were BCC’d on the email.
5.) Created a new topic with a hyperlink. The topic went to moderation.
6.) Approved/published the topic with an admin account. No new topic notification email was sent.

Another issue is that new topics that are added directly from the Dashboard (i.e., by going to Dashboard->Topics->New Topics) also did not generate a new topic notification. The moderation approvals have to be done from the backend/Dashboard, so maybe these two issue are related?

Thanks again for your help with this! The moderation plugin author finally did get back to me and said they’ve added the issue to their backlog, but now I’m wondering if this is something that should be fixed in standard BBPress?

If necessary, the site owner I’m working said they might be willing to pay directly to get this issue fixed. However, their company is a small non-profit, so they probably won’t have a lot of extra funds for this sort of thing.

I think I have code that fixes this in

Gravity Forms to bbPress (Force Topics to Specified Forum)

[lakemac123]

I am using user registration on my WP site, would like to install BBpress but dont want 2 registration pages, how can I overcome this problem?
Thanks

[jsteckler1]

Hi @casiepa,

Thank you for jumping in!

Some additional details about my situation:

Upon submission of a specified Gravity Form, I am attempting to create a new topic under a specified forum (Forum ID: 31086).

While creating the new Topic was simple enough with the Custom Post add-on—which successfully created the Topic, including the body of the topic post, accordingly—the topic was being listed under “No Forum.” @cjerrells post got me closer, encouraging me to add another custom field named _bbp_forum_id with a default value of 31086 (the forum ID). After doing that, the assigned forum seemed to display correctly on the backend, but:

1) The breadcrumb would only display the forum after editing and resaving the post again

— It still will not, however, show on the front-end forum among the other forum topics

2) The topic would finally display correctly on the front-end among the other forum topics only after adding a reply to the topic post.

Here is a screenshot of my Gravity Form settings, as well as the code cjerrells kindly provided within my functions.php file. My ability to write php is still very elementary, and it seems a bit difficult to find a full list of bbPress actions and hooks, so I wasn’t sure exactly what needed to be altered to fit my needs.

I would be beyond appreciative if you could give it all a look and get back to me with any thoughts or ideas you may have.

[Robin W]

or that could be total rubbish if gravity forms aren’t using bbpress to create, which they probably aren’t – let me think further !!

[Robin W]

Forums and Topics are totally separate custom post types, correct?

Yes.

I am reticent to start delving into this plugin – there are hundreds of thousand of plugins in wordpress and I only go into those that are specifically bbpress and then only a few of those – it can take a day easily to look at and understand a plugins code 🙂

There is a hook in topic creation that you could use

The following code is untested, but you could put this in your functions file. You must be able to edit that file outside of wordpress (ie NOT using dashboard>appearance>editor) in case it errors so you can amend it.

add_action( 'bbp_new_topic_pre_extras', 'new_topic_id', 10, 1 );

function new_topic_id ($forum_id=0) {
	if (empty ($forum_id)) $forum_id  = 31086 ;
	return $forum_id ;
}

This will put any topic that doesn’t have a forum into that forum.
