So in my thorough research regarding bbPress I’ve discovered many run into problems of a very sluggish system when the Forum Index gets too heavy. By that I mean when the bbPress installation gets loaded with too many categories and forums and subforums and such.

Is this resolved in the current RC?

If not, does using Multisite to create several smaller independent boards on their respective sites [rather than one massive board] create a smoother response?

Hello,

Recently, I started using bbPress and it’s been fantastic so far. One of the things I’ve been trying to complete was an announcement/important information forum. I want to let users read the topics and comment, but not post anything on this specific forum. I have other forums where I want the users to have access to posting topics.
I’m not sure if this is possible or if it was brought up in the past.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My best,
Matt

bbpress comes with a number of converters.

Once bbpress is installed go to

tools>forums>import forums and follow the screen.

Hello, I currently using SMF on my forum site. I have no idea how to connect my SMF to my WordPress blog, as the forum is part of the blog, which is installed under its subdomain. Please, help me give an idea how to convert SMF to bbpress!

[TrustedOrb]

Sorry, the problem is solved after installing bbPress 2.6 beta 2 from https://bbpress.org/download/. I was on bbPress 2.5.13, WordPress 4.8, PHP 7.x

[TrustedOrb]

Set up WordPress on my Windows PC. When I click on “Forums”, I get the error
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported for strings in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\forums\functions.php:1800 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\class-wp-hook.php(298): bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility(Object(WP_Query)) #1 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\class-wp-hook.php(323): WP_Hook->apply_filters('', Array) #2 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\plugin.php(515): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #3 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\class-wp-query.php(1683): do_action_ref_array('pre_get_posts', Array) #4 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\class-wp-query.php(3248): WP_Query->get_posts() #5 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\class-wp.php(617): WP_Query->query(Array) #6 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\class-wp.php(735): WP->query_posts() #7 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\functions.php(955): WP->main(Array) #8 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-admin\includes\post.php(1072): wp(Array) #9 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-admin\includ in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\forums\functions.php on line 1800
New forums can be created without any errors, but when I click on the URL of the new forum, I get the same error again.

Hi there, I was wondering if there are any known user role conflicts between Ultimate Member and bbPress.

I have ‘Standard’ role and a few other user roles in Ultimate Member. Standard role has limited menu items. I have set the conditional menus in Appearance>Menus to allow certain menus to disappear when Standard user is logged in. When Standard user is logged in, the menu items appears as I have set until I click on the menu item that goes to the bbPress forum, and those hidden menu items appear – that are not supposed to appear for Standard user role. It baffles me that it is only the forum page that it is do this.

Any known conflict between the two plugins?

Hi all,

I am aware of this plugin BBPress Topics for Posts : “https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/”.

It creates wordpress posts as topics in BBPress Forum and also posts all the comments of that post as replies to the same topic created in the Forum.

The problem with this plugin is it replaces the comments in the WP post with a link to the forum topic for further discussion and one cannot comment further.

Along with the link for discussion, I want the comments to be enabled so a user with no time can just leave a comment and go.

I read this feature is going to be part of core BBPress 2.6. Could somebody confirm on this?

Any solutions availabe also, I am ready to pay.

Regards
Gana

Hey everyone,
I would like to remove the “Forums” tab from the profile menu, but don’t know how to do it.
I tried the css method and the PHP method.
NOTE: I’m using both BBPress and Buddypress, but the tab is generated by BBPress.

[Howdy_McGee]

Thanks! I’ve been in the code so much I didn’t realize that BBPress has it’s own role to assign things like Keymaster. That ended up doing the trick.

[Robin W]

If you are happy for them to access the dashboard backend forums, topics and replies, then just make them worpdress editor, and bbpress keymaster. If you don’t want them to have backend forums, just topics and replies – then make them worpdress editor, and bbpress moderator

[Shmoo]

Well, if you’re not afraid to dive into the template files you could walk though them and comment-out the parts where the replies get included.

I this part for example.

But when you start doing this you need to understand how to override bbPress template files by copying them over to your own WordPress theme directory. You can find more about that in the codex.

It’s just walking through paths and following the hierarchy.

OF course, back-up and always test this first locally. Never do stuff like this straight on live websites.

[Howdy_McGee]

So I’m trying to allow Editors to manage forums and forum posts. I was able to set all the capabilities to allow them to manage topics and replies but in the admin panel forum access is still denied and the page is entirely hidden from the admin side.

I did run across this topic but it’s 3 years old – is this still an issue?

Here’s what the capabilities look like that have been added:

[moderate_comments] => 1
[manage_categories] => 1
[manage_links] => 1
[upload_files] => 1
[unfiltered_html] => 1
[edit_posts] => 1
[edit_others_posts] => 1
[edit_published_posts] => 1
[publish_posts] => 1
[edit_pages] => 1
[read] => 1
[level_7] => 1
[level_6] => 1
[level_5] => 1
[level_4] => 1
[level_3] => 1
[level_2] => 1
[level_1] => 1
[level_0] => 1
[edit_others_pages] => 1
[edit_published_pages] => 1
[publish_pages] => 1
[delete_pages] => 1
[delete_others_pages] => 1
[delete_published_pages] => 1
[delete_posts] => 1
[delete_others_posts] => 1
[delete_published_posts] => 1
[delete_private_posts] => 1
[edit_private_posts] => 1
[read_private_posts] => 1
[delete_private_pages] => 1
[edit_private_pages] => 1
[read_private_pages] => 1
[list_users] => 1
[create_users] => 1
[delete_users] => 1
[edit_users] => 1
[publish_forums] => 1
[edit_forums] => 1
[edit_others_forums] => 1
[delete_forums] => 1
[delete_others_forums] => 1
[read_private_forums] => 1
[read_hidden_forums] => 1
[publish_topics] => 1
[edit_topics] => 1
[edit_others_topics] => 1
[delete_topics] => 1
[delete_others_topics] => 1
[read_private_topics] => 1
[publish_replies] => 1
[edit_replies] => 1
[edit_others_replies] => 1
[delete_replies] => 1
[delete_others_replies] => 1
[read_private_replies] => 1
[manage_topic_tags] => 1
[edit_topic_tags] => 1
[delete_topic_tags] => 1
[assign_topic_tags] => 1
[spectate] => 1
[participate] => 1
[moderate] => 1
[throttle] => 1
[view_trash] => 1
[keep_gate] => 1

As far as I can tell they’re exactly the same as the keymaster ( with some additional capabilities ) so why is the Forums still unaccessible in the admin panel?

[digitalartbynate]

I am having a small issue with something.
I want visitors to be able to make topics, but I DO NOT want anyone to be able to reply for now. It seems I am unable to stop replies, as well as I would like visitors to be able to post topics without filling out there name and/or email.
Any help with this, I have looked at many plugins to help but found nothing.

[Robin W]

the template for forum is

templates/default/content-archive-forum.php

make a copy to your child theme directory under a directory called bbpress.

[Robin W]

presuming that 367 is your forum number, then that should be ok

if it is not displaying 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

I am new to bbPress. Please let me know if I can redesign the categories page to look different than the forum topics.

[margley]

Hi
Is it possible to limit the WordPress plugin bbpress to a single forum? I want to only have a single forum on my site, where users can create new topics within that forum. I’d like to remove the Forum List page entirely as well.

I’ve tried putting the shortcode from this post (Restricting bbpress to a single forum) on my individual forum page, but that didn’t seem to work…

Please let me know your thoughts!

[mwheelermindbox]

I am using WordPress 4.8 multisite and noticed a bug in bbPress 2.5.12 and 2.5.13 (possibly older versions as well) with PHP 7.1.6.

Lines 1798-1805 of includes/forum/functions.php is

// Default to public status
if (empty( $post_stati ) ) {
	$post_stati[] = bbp_get_public_status_id();

// Split the status string
} elseif ( is_string( $post_stati ) ) {
	$post_stati = explode( ',', $post_stati );
}

For me $post_stati looks to be an empty string so the if is evaluating to true and the next line is failing with this error:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported for strings in /srv/www/tilth.org/current/web/app/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/functions.php on line 1800

Changing line 1799 to:

if (is_array( $post_stati) && empty( $post_stati ) ) {

looks to fix the error.

Perhaps adding a line inside the conditional of

$post_stati = array();

is a better fix.

[Robin W]

if it could already be done within bbpress, I wouldn’t need to put it in my plugin!!

[Rixter]

Thanks for that Robin!
I love plugins, they make WordPress very rich. But sometimes they interfere with other plugins. So I always try to search for a functionality or easy solution before installing an extra plugin. But I will have a look!

Is there a way to do this inside bbPress? Or in the ‘reaction’ settings or somewhere else?

[hallfire]

just find this post

Forum Setup

But i would like to not display the sub forum

any one know how to do ? 🙂

[whimsymoon]

Thanks for your reply TKServer.

It was a compatibility issue between bbPress (or BuddyPress) not liking the version of PHP my new hosting co uses.

I really appreciated your help with this – thanks! 🙂
