It seems that I have the same problem as you: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/users-can-not-see-topics-anymore

The problem appears after I tryied to move a reply to another forum.

[checmark]

Sorry. I’ve read all kinds of posts about this and just don’t get it. I want to create a separate forum/category/topic for a Landlord and Tenant Bureau and have only the topics related to this show on the Landlord and Tenant page. I’ve tried everything and consulted with Avada tech support who said to contact bbpress.

Appreciate any help.

I’ve created eight forums, and am in testing mode.

In just ONE of these forums, my “participant” test user can’t see or create topics.

I can’t see anything different about that forum at all.

I’ve run the “repair forums” tools, no effect.

Is this a known issue?

hi can anyone help?
I’m trying to integrate bbPress with this Presashop blog module: https://addons.prestashop.com/en/blog-forum-new/25908-pro-blog-all-in-one-package-blog.html
I bought that module some days ago and trying to do that, I try to contact the developer but he doesn’t support that. I also have also managed to compete the integration. The last problem I’m getting is it always show bbPress is not compatible with Pro blog in config file
Do you guys have experience with this?
Thanks

Hello,

I have a private forum.

Yesterday, I wanted to move a reply to a new forum I created. But I guess I did something wrong.

Now, the participants of the forum could not see anymore the Topics and Replys. They only can see the Forums but when they click on Forum to get acces to all the Topics inside of the forum, there is a message saying: “What a pity, there is no topics find here”.

What’s strange, as a webmaster, I can see all the topics perfectly…

Do you have any idea of what’s wrong for all the users ?

Thanks.

Paul

The reason the function doesn’t work is because BBPress throws a fatal error when it tries to handle the array of items when it expects it as a string. We probably just need to get a filter in the core that allows us to manipulate that value before it tries to use the split() function.

Until then, kind of a hacky workaround is to use JS to append the values to a hidden field:

function display_tag_elements($selectedTags, $userRole, $task)
{
    $html = array();
    $tags = get_categories(array('hide_empty' => 0, 'taxonomy' => 'topic-tag'));
    $selectedTagsArray = explode(', ', $selectedTags);
    if ($userRole != 'bbp_participant' || $task != 'edit')
    {
        $html[] = "";
        foreach ($tags as $tag)
        {
            $selected = '';
            if (in_array($tag->name, $selectedTagsArray))
            {
                $selected = 'checked';
            }
            $html[] = "<input type='checkbox' class='bbp_topic_tags_checkbox' name='bbp_topic_tags_checkbox[]'" . $selected . " value='" . $tag->name . "'>" . $tag->name . "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;";
        }

        $html[] = "<input type='hidden' class='bbp_topic_tags_hidden' name='bbp_topic_tags' value='".$selectedTags."'>";

        $html[] = "
            <script>
                var checkboxes = document.getElementsByClassName('bbp_topic_tags_checkbox');
                var hidden = document.getElementsByClassName('bbp_topic_tags_hidden');
                var hiddenVal = hidden[0].value.split(', ');
                
                for(var x = 0; x < checkboxes.length; x++)
                {
                    checkboxes[x].addEventListener( 'change', function() 
                    {
                        var index =  hiddenVal.indexOf(this.value);
                        var checked = this.checked;
                        if(checked && !index > -1) 
                             hiddenVal.push(this.value);
                        else if (!checked && index > -1)
                             hiddenVal.splice(index, 1);
                        
                         hidden[0].value = hiddenVal.join();
                    });
                }
            </script>
        ";
    } else
    {
        $html[] = $selectedTags;
    }

    return implode('', $html);
}

However this has a pretty notable downside in that someone could just inspect the code and add whatever they want to the hidden field. So you’ll want to make sure your also using one of the spam filters like bbp_new_reply_pre_set_terms to make sure the new values are terms you’ve predefined.

Side note: there also seems to be a pretty annoying bug in that participants can edit the topics tags on reply, so I would just disable it on reply for non-moderators.

EDIT: kind of like I just did. I don’t think I should be allowed to add tags to existing topics. this feels like a bug.

Hey guys, I am new to wordpress, and bbpress. I am starting a forum, and I want to add a profile page for the users. I also want to add the ability to make a signature at the end of their posts. I do not know how to work with the scripts so much, I get lost in which editor I should be using, or where to place the information. The scripts I have put in following other threads have had no effect.

[trane251260]

Hi i am having the same need and experience with the bbPress post via email plugin.
No luck in getting replies posted to the forum.

I am interested in sharing any progress / input on this.

By the way – I have seen that ‘Buddyboss Reply by Email’ plugin advertise this capability (among others). It is a paid plugin though.

Cheers

Hi LeGuerg,

Thanks for the useful post. I have added those lines of code in two php files that you mentioned, but still particants can’t delete their own posts.

/home/XXX/public_html/XXX/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/capabilities.php
/home/XXX/public_html/XXX/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/topics/capabilities.php

Any idea why? Anyone’s help will help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello

I am looking for a bbPress plugin where a thread author can mark his thread as completed

[Peetee]

Since this weekend I’ve been testing BBpress, trying to migrate an Invision 3.4.x forum through the BBpress importer. This is a forum with 38.000 members and 320.000 forum posts.

Using the 2.5.14 BB importer version this did not go well: it would hang several times and stop at around 250.000 posts.

Importing with version 2.6 RC3 went considerably better. Last night the complete forum was imported in 1 run! So that is really promising!!

But as we do not know whether the 2.6 RC3 version is stable enough to keep using, and we do not know when the 2.6 final release would be released, one might consider to use the 2.6 version for import and then downgrade to the last stable version 2.5.14 for the time being.

But the question is ofcourse: is this wise? And is this going to bring trouble? Who could advise me in this matter?

Greetz,
Peetee.

I’m having this problem after trying this solution, searching the codex and this forum. Here are all the various solutions I’ve tried:

.reply {
    color: #000000 !important;
}

#commentform #submit, .reply, #reply-title small {
    background-color: #000000;
    color: #ffffff;
}

.forum a { color: black !important; }

.bbp-forum-info { color: black !important; }

.bbp-forum-topic-count { color: black !important; }

.bbp-forum-reply-count { color: black !important; }

.bbp-forum-freshness { color: black !important; }

.bbp-topics {
color: black !important;
background-color:white;
}

.bbp-forums a { color: black !important; }

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content a,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content a {
	background-color: white;
}

#bbpress-forums div.even,
#bbpress-forums ul.even {
 background-color: #fff;
}
 
#bbpress-forums div.odd,
#bbpress-forums ul.odd {
 background-color: #fbfbfb;
}

/*styling to move 'Subscribe' to right hand side */
.single-forum .subscription-toggle  {
    float:right !important ;
}

I have two forums and I have two non-bbPress widgets. I’ve setup the widgets to show up on forum pages with the Widget Options plugin. Each of the forums need to show only the menu that pertains to it (match by state name). As of now, both widgets show up on both forum pages.

Tried conditional tag: is_bbpress() with the page ID’s, but it doesn’t change anything. None of my researched plugins seem to have this feature figured out.

Any ideas? Still fairly new to all this and not a coder so don’t have the best vernacular for troubleshooting.

What template file(s) I’ll have to change to render single bbpress topics as WordPress posts..? I mean I would like to render main topic different from other replies.

I am trying to import data from phpBB 3.2.1 to bbPress 2.6 RC 3. I am working on my local machine.
It is converting Forums, Topics and Replies but Users are not getting imported. Author column is showing as Anonymous.

Hi
I have a weird problem with bbpress
most of the words in bbpress is not translated but some is
like: Freshness is in english but the no topics is translated to arabic
i have the latest version of bbpress
i have configured wp_config.php to arabic
and my default wordpress language is arabic
also i double checked all the translation files in this directory
–/wp-content/languages/bbpress
and
—/wp-content/languages/plugins/bbpress
and still a lot of sentences is completely in english even though when i use the loco translation plugin and search for this words they show up translated just fine

[vamshidhar]

Thanks, John. RC 5 is not downloading, I have downloaded RC 3. I have tried it locally with phpBB3 and bbPress2.6. It has imported Forums, Topics and Replies but not Users. Is there any problem with importing Users?

[thealex626]

Hello. I have an forum on MyBB 1.8.12 with about 60.000 posts, 4.000 threads and 5.000 users. When I’m importing it into bbPress using the importer tool that comes with the plugin, it works really slow. I’m using 100 rows per cycle and it takes 80 seconds to do. I’ve estimated the time for the full conversion and it appears to be around 15 hours… Is this okay with bbPress? When I tried to convert the same forum into vBulletin, it took about 5 minutes.

[kwerri]

Hello,

Currently, for my forum (www.filteredthoughts.com), to create a new post, the flow is like this:
– navigate to a topic
– scroll to the end of the topic
– enter content in the ‘Reply to’ edit field
– click ‘Submit’.

I am trying to figure out how to change this flow so that it is like this:
– navigate to a topic
– click on ‘Reply to’ button
– either:
– view previously hidden edit field on same page, or
– navigate to new page with edit field
– enter content in the ‘Reply to’ edit field
– click ‘Submit’.

In other words, I want the users to take explicit action to view the edit field to enter content.

Is this possible? I looked in the bbPress settings, but I couldn’t find anything that would let me do this. Can anyone help?

[kwerri]

I have a plugin called myCred which allows me to add a shortcode to a post so that anyone looking at that post will be allowed to click on a link to add points.

I am trying to figure out where in bbPress I will add this shortcode so that the link will appear for each post.

I am guessing that I will need to create a specially named page and then add the shortcode, but I am not sure about how to create the page (i.e. what name to give it). Am I on the right track, and if not, can someone help?

Hello Marc.
I know it’s been 9 months after your last post here.
Please can you help me 2 or 3 issues:

1. Topic Form:
I want to have been able to close the Topic Editor Form appearing at the bottom of a thread after all topics have been listed via this – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-hide-new-topic-form-at-the-bottom-of-single-form/

BUT I would love to have a button that redirects to a New Topic page, just below the listed Topics on a Thread/”forum” – Does your button redirect you to a new page?

2. Reply Form:
Similar to No.1 above, I don’t want the Reply Form to show at the bottom of comments if it’s possible (similar to hiding the Topic Form) and having a button at the bottom. However, I was hoping that the button was clicked would open up the form for users to type away (I think it’s called ajaxify)? Any suggestions?\

3. Any help on this unrelated topic would be great too – No one has responded yet – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/at-home-page-how-to-list-recent-topics-from-each-forum-under-its-specific-forum/
