Hello,

Sorry if this question has already been asked.

I have a WordPress website that has been custom developed on top of the Twenty Twelve WordPress theme. I want to migrate it to a new theme (on the same installation) and have been working out how to transfer the custom features to plugins.

The final step is the forum and I want to give bbPress a try but have no clue where to begin with. The forum posts are using a custom post type and are stored in the wp_posts table in the database.

I read about the custom importer, but I am not a developer and kind of got overwhelmed. Is there anyone who has done this before and can perhaps share their process step by step. I should be able to work it out from there.

Thank you in advance.

I have install bbpress but navigation links not working and its showing 404 Errors

Hi – Apologies, but it is specifically the bbpress plugin that is messing up the feeds to the mailchimp newsletter, not buddypress.

[Peter Raschendorfer]

After further digging into the code I’ve found the principal reason. It makes no difference if a member has created topics or not. The problem is the main query which always queries for posts. The 404 error appears if the user has not created any posts.

I’ve created a ticket: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3161

I just installed BBpress and it screwed up my RSS to Mailchimp feed.

My web site is set to create my newsletter automatically from my wordpress site’s RSS feed.

However, when the BBpress plugin is enabled Mailchimp makes a mess of the formatting and displays unnecessary text from the RSS feed (looks like the body text).

Disable BBpress and it works fine again.. The issue only started after I installed bbpress for the first time.

Any ideas? I’n not sure where to go from here..

Thanks
Rob

Hi, could you please help me, is there any CSS code to hide that line on the top of every forum page? It looks like this: Home > Forum > Topic…

I use bbPress 2.5.13 and wordpress 4.8.1

My forum is here: http://www.cyklokopce.sk/forums/forum/info-o-trasach-lokalitach/

And the line is Domov › Diskusné Fóra › Info o trasách, lokalitách…

Thank you!

Daniel

Hello,
I am using bbPress 2.5.13
I need to use a shortcode to put my forum on a page in wordpress. The shortcode options in bbp style pack will display the topic index but they will not display the Create a New Topic form or Link, like the regular Forum page does. See screenshots for examples.

I am creating a bbpress forum hosted on Dreamhost and before launching, I wanted to understand how the email limitations apply to bbpress forum update notifications. So Jon Fergus, it’s the same issue you have/had. Have you gained any insight you can share? With so many bbpress + dreamhost sites, there MUST be an easy way to deal with this. Any help? Anyone?

I have tried importing my two Vbulletin forums into bbPress with varying degress of success and failure, mostly a combination of both.

When I first tried the import, I did get the forum to move over but the main forum would not display. It would instead redirect me to a specific thread. In that thread I could use tags to see topics displayed but that was as far as it went.

I tried to download some of your newer versions but that experience was worse and not better. It would sit at the timer waiting stage and never get any farther.

Thoughts? Prayers?

Hi, I have a multisite setup with a main site and 1 sub-site.

I played around with settings and network activate bbpress before choosing to go with this option: “Sub-Sites of the Network Only” https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/installing-bbpress/multisite/

So i want the forums only to be available on the sub-site, so i deactivated the plugin from the network so i could activate it on a sub-site level. But then I got this error message when trying to reach the admin of that sub-site: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j4q73lc5attt23t/activate.jpg?dl=0

Now what should i do to proceed? Are there database tables that should be removed first?

[Vinod Dalvi]

Please go to bbPress settings on the path Settings -> Forums and make sure you have selected the option “Allow users to subscribe to forums and topics”.

[Vinod Dalvi]

You can remove ip address from bbPress posts by using the below custom code in the functions.php file of your child theme or in another custom plugin.

function vvd_no_view_ip( $author_ip, $r, $args ){
	return __return_empty_string();	
}
add_filter('bbp_get_author_ip','vvd_no_view_ip', 10, 3 );

I checked the forum first, but apparently not well enough. I found the answer here:

ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that?

[sleestak]

I used All In One Migration tool to create a local version of a WordPress site I am working on.

I am using these versions:
WordPress 4.6.6
BuddyPress 2.7.0
bbPress 2.5.10

The forum comes up fine, but when I try to post in my local instance, it is not working. The post does not go to the database, and I don’t see any errors (even in debug mode) using the Enfold theme.

I tried with the Twenty Fourteen theme and I see an error when I submit a post that just says:
“ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that? ”

What does that mean? How can I debug this?

Thanks!

The IP address only shows for users with bbpress role of keymaster !!

so only keymasters ever see this.

Hello,
I am using bbPress 2.5.13
Please see the screenshot I took from another website. I would like to add a rules section like that above the bbPress Reply form on my site. How do I do that?
Thank you

[ulferlingsson]

After installing bbPress I discovered to my horror that the IP number of the author appeared in each post. I have now edited the php files on my installation to comment that out (I found three cases). It is crucial that the server NEVER SENDS THIS OUT, since it completely defeats all other privacy measures. Just hiding it on screen is pointless.

The problem is that now I cannot update bbPress since that would restore the security vulnerability, unless there was aa feature added to turn this off in the Settings.

Is this the best place for assistance in converting a Mingle forum to bbPress? I have 9100 forum posts in Mingle since 2011.

The shared Elegant Themes support topic page is not accessible for us as it is members only.

As this functionality works fine with default WordPress 2015 theme so it is not bbPress plugin issue. This seems conflict issue with Divi theme, may be due to not following WordPress standards so please contact the theme author to resolve the issue in the theme.

[Vinod Dalvi]

It doesn’t seem bbPress issue but the Image Upload for BBPress Plugin related so please contact Image Upload for BBPress Plugin author regarding this.

You can contact him here https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/image-upload-for-bbpress

I checked again and again and found that ‘spectator’ role user is not able to view/create/edit any of the forums. Why so?

Spectator user role can only read forums, topics and replies. He can not create or edit anything.

Please get more information about bbPress user roles on this page https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/before-installing/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

2nd, does any user role need to be ‘subscribed’ necessarily to be able to view/edit forms?

No

[Vinod Dalvi]

I have tested it with WP 4.8.1, no other plugins than bbPress, Twenty Seventeen Theme but it is working fine for me without any issue.

Please note i am using single site installation and not multisite.

[zopfan]

Can anyone elaborate as to what does ‘No Role for these forums’ mean in BBPress?

Does it mean that the user is given the rights to participate (read, contribute, edit his own forums) in all forums?

Hello , in our site when someone subscribe he get auto friendship request from keymaster … and that’s so weird and so bad for security of our site, i asked buddypress supports and their respond that “If it comes from ‘keymaster’, then it make be a bbPress feature – try asking on their support forums.”
so now i asked you if you have any solution for that bug … thanks and best regard
