Hi, I’ve set up the lost password page with shortcode [bbp-lost-pass] but when users click on ‘forgot password’ and fill in the form they aren’t receiving an email with link to create new password.

Using BBPress Version 2.5.14 and BBP Private Groups Version 3.5.9. Using WordPress 4.8.1. The website is private so I can’t share.

Thanks in advance.

Users are currently unable to sign up for a new account on our bbpress forums now. I’ve double checked this myself, and I’m getting the same problem.

It tells you that you’ll get a confirmation email, but that email never arrives (not in spam either). I tried doing ‘forgot password’ after attempting to register (but not getting the confirmation email) and that doesn’t work either.

The only way I’ve successfully been able to create a new account is making an account on wordpress.com, then attempting to login with it on the forums and choosing ‘forgot password’ and getting a password reset email.

Our customers who have enrolled in a course are entitled to access a few forums in bbPress, but the problem is that even though they can access the forums and see the name of the topics in each forum, they can’t have an access to topics (can’t read, comment etc.). All the settings should be correct and I really don’t know how to proceed next. Only people with the highest admin rights can see the comments under different topics. Is anybody else experiencing the similar problem?

Wordpress version is 4.8.1 and bbPress Version 2.5.14. We are using Lifter LMS as a online course platform.

Hi there, I’ve a strange issue : if I modify a post in BBpress, it will erase all my line & paragraph formats.
I end up with a big block of text I have to reformat with the WP editor.

Hi there,

I’m writing because I have trouble to understand how templates are managed in BBPress (and wordpress I guess :)).
I’d like to have a specific template on the main forum page (the one displaying the different forums). And another template for the page displaying the different topics.

Currently in the wordpress page where I pasted the short code [bbp-forum-index], I call the template bbpress.php, which is presented in the bbpress codex (See example at the end of the topic).

But how can I create a specific template for my forum index (listing all my forums), for instance “forum-display.php”. And another template, listing my topics (for instance “topic-display.php”).

Maybe my file bbpress.php is not appropriate to do so ? or need to be customized a bit ?

NB : I’m using twenty twelve theme

I hope my question is clear,
Thank you for your help,
Pierre

Hello guys,

I’m migrating from vbulletin to wordpress.
In vbulletin, I have a feature showing under user avatar, that shows a image “My photos”, and when someone clicks there, goes to a list of topics created by the user in forums ID X and Y.
If no topics created there, the image “My photos” doesn’t show.

Is it possible to do this with bbpress?
Can someone give me a little help?

Thank you in advance 🙂

bbpress just uses much of your theme’s style

additionally you can use

bbp style pack

to improve it’s look

How is it easier to convert custom posts and comments into topics and answers on the forum?
And how to make it done automatically in future?

Maybe there is a way how to replace custom posts on bbpress, so that there is no need to convert posts into topics?

Plugins “bbPress Topics for Posts” & “bbPress Move Topics” not working

WordPress 4.8.1
bbPress 2.5.14
Running PHP v.7.1
https://idwph.com/sitemap_index.xml

I currently have bbPress disabled and now my sitemap works. I didn’t have this problem with the last version. I will search for it to install it again.

Edit:
Nope, just installed 2.5.13 and still have a sitemap error. Is there a place to get an even older version or do I just need to go with mybb?

[Robin W]

there is a free version of this

bbPress Digest

[Robin W]

ok, so you create a page and use shortcodes to achieve this

Shortcodes

eg

[bbp-topic-index]
[bbp-forum-index]

I have been looking for similar functionality and found https://usestrict.net/product/bbpress-notify-no-spam-digests/. This is a paid option and I have not tried it, so I can’t vouch for it.

Hi guys,

More than two years ago I posted the following bug report:

Ajax validation issue for user auto-complete

A ticket was opened for this bug here:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2864

The issue was marked as fixed and the bug closed; however, the bug is not actually fixed and is still present in the most recent release.

Here are the original details:

Context:

On the “Edit Topic” screen, there’s an “Author Information” box including an ID field. When you begin to type text into this box, the admin-ajax action “bbp_suggest_user” should auto-suggest potentially matching users.

Issue:
The user autosuggest is not returning any users, just “-1”. Having dug into the code, the step that’s failing is wp_verify_nonce() in check_ajax_referrer(), which is invoked on line 745 of bbPress file includes/admin/admin.php. The nonce is making it into wp_verify_nonce, but is not matching any expected/acceptable value – so wp_verify_nonce falls out the bottom with a failure.

If I remove the check_ajax_referrer step, the Edit Topic user auto-suggestion works perfectly so it’s definitely the nonce validation step that’s the problem.

Current context in which I’m still seeing the bug is WP 4.8.1 Multisite, bbPress 2.5.14, PHP 7.0.22. (I’ve been seeing the bug for over 2 years though, including with PHP 5.x).

Would be really grateful if this bug could be fixed in the next release, because I’m having to manually patch every release at the moment (I have a user whose job relies on this function working properly.)

Thanks!

Hello! I have the same situation.
There isn’t a problem to add link to user profile navigation. But the problem is to ‘register’ that page in such way, that it contents would render properly under ‘base_url/forums/users/someuser/your-custom-page/’ url. bbPress allows to see other user’s profile info too.
I also couldn’t not find any guide how to do this or find it in plugin code. But if that page will be private (only for one user, like ‘Edit profile’ which disappears on others user acc pages) there is a workaround.
You can create page template, copy ‘single-user.php’ contents to it and create page for this template in admin. Then add a link in profile page. Also you should add filters to ‘bbp_get_user_id’ and ‘bbp_get_displayed_user_field’ to make everything work correctly on that page. (I can provide code if you’re interested).

Hi Asbjoern,

I am having the same problem where the replies page in the backend is showing a 503. Can you possibly give me any help on how you reset the forum? How were you able to export all the data out of the bbpress in the first place to be able to reimport and recalculate? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi again,

How much internal memory do bbPress need?

[Robin W]

I’d ask them if memberpress is integrated with bbpress

did you ask them the question above?

ie is their plugin is integrated with bbpress and should be doing this, but it isn’t in your case, or if they haven’t integrated with bbpress, in which case it is not really up to bbpress to make sure there software works with paid plugins, so you would need someone to write the code that hooks to the memberpress cancellation to cancel the user subscriptions.

PS I’m kinda interested that cancelling membership leaves the user still set up and able to access your site? Do they still show in dashboard>users?

oh, and what version of bbpress are you using?

[Vinod Dalvi]

Could you please also update it here?

Download

[Vinod Dalvi]

Sorry to hear of the problem you are having.

It is working fine on my test site without any issue.

Could you please try fixing the issue as described in the following pages?

You can also try using the below upcoming version 2.6 of bbPress.

[Vinod Dalvi]

@lovechard Please understand that the bbPress provides functionality to users to subscribe/unsubscribe to topics from topics page but memberpress is restricting them to access topic page so they don’t have access to the page to unsubscribe to the topics.

Here memberpress is changing the bbPress default process so in this case on cancelling the membership the memberpress should also unsubscribe users from all topics.

The code in the following plugin will help memberpress to develop this functionality.

Hmmmm….

Could you try logging into https://codex.bbpress.org/wp-login.php before opening the email link, see if that works please?

[lovechard]

I already asked them, They said it was a BBPress issue.

[Gunilla]

I have a WP multisite (4.8.1) with bbPress (2.5.14) and some other plugins. Since May this year I get Fatal Errors in php-errors.log

PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 805306368 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 262144 bytes) in /home/u/u1529178/www/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/template.p

PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 805306368 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4096 bytes) in /home/u/u1529178/www/wp-includes/post.php on line 1947

It indicates memory loss. To analyze the cause of the memory loss I have in the first step inactivated almost all plugins and activated them one after another. The only plugin which generated Fatal error was bbPress.

In the second step bbPress was activated annd the other plugins inactivated to analyze if the problem is located in bbPress only or if it can be in a conflict between bbPress and other plugins.

The result was that when bbPress was activated together with WPMembers and ArcMember Login (neccesary for the login function) the Fatal Errrors continued to appear. The conclusion is that it must be some problem in the plugin bbPress.

Do I have to abandon bbPress and try another forum plugin or can I do something to get bbPress to work without generating Fatal errors?
