I’ve tryed all ways: changing themes, disactivating plugins, but the problem still not solved.
I’m using WordPress 4.8 with theme RepublicPro, BuddyPress 2.8.2, bbPress 2.5.12
The site is inpressioni.it
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,

I am trying out bbpress and just created a forum. After creating a couple of categories and forums within them; I noticed that the font for the forum list seems a bit small. How can I adjust the size of the font?

Below is a link with a screenshot, I wish to change the size of the “News & Announcements” part.

Thanks in advance,

I have a membership site which I am using bb press and BuddyPress

I am using the kleo theme
WordPress version 4.8

I have had an issue with replying to posts in from the forum on my dashboard

I have a section on my dashboard where I pull replies and new topics from the forum using the kleo posts.
I can view the posts and click into and read but I cannot reply from there and I need to go into the post in the forum and reply there

Does anyone have a fix

Thanks

Sorry for the long winded rambling

[kariellen35]

I would really like to create forums for my website, however, I don’t have this option:

A. Set Up Sitewide Forums only

Install and activate bbPress.
Proceed to bbPress.org Codex to get started in creating your Sitewide Forums.
If you kept the default “forums” slug in Settings > Forums, you can create a new Page via Pages > Add New. Add Title “Forums” and insert the forums index shortcode and/or other bbPress shortcode you’ll find in the bbPress Codex then publish the new page.
Add new “Forums” Page in your custom menu via Appearances > Menu

Can someone please tell me what I am missing?

Thank you so much for your time!!

Take care,
Kari

Hello Robin W,

I was reading this post and I am looking for this feature.
I have a bbpress forum where I would like where we are in a forum each user can only see his topic.
I am using bbpress like a customer support and when a user post a topic in “private” mode, I would like he’s the only one user he can see the topic with another group like moderator or other (defined in Bbpress Private Group).

Could you tell me if it’s possible to do this with your plugin?

Best Regards,

[arn2k17]

My bbpress Api not working. Why..?
it happens to me..?

[Robin W]

knowing nothing about NeonCRM, I would have no idea, and suspect you will struggle to get an answer to this. bbpress uses custom post types, but otherwise is wordpress, so the answer should be the same as it would be for a wordpress post if that helps.

[jelliott2014]

Robin, thanks for the prompt response. I resolved the issue shortly after posting. bbPress is “network-installed”, so the user registration checkbox is located in Network-admin>Settings. I had checked this earlier, but overlooked the setting for some reason.

I sure wish I could find a complete, easy to read instruction manual to avoid rookie errors like this.

[TKServer]

@mapofemergence I really like what you’ve done with your api. It is robust and the documentation is excellent. I’m not sure if my forking of Pascal’s is any good as I’ve never worked on API stuff before, but many years of PHP and WP.

I’ve started a new thread for discussion of my bbPress mobile app here:

I’m building a bbPress iOS and Android app

I’m excited. Check out the first image I posted in that thread!

Hi.
I have an XML file containing messages (title, date, author and body). I’ve considered three methods of importing these messages into bbPress:

1. Into the database. I’ve written a PHP script to automate that but because the messages are in Hebrew then the encoding causes the text to be gibberish. When that problem was solved, topics that were inseted into the wp_posts table didn’t appear in the forum page.

2. Using the custom importing method. The database structure required to import the messages isn’t really understandable, how should my database be organized in order to transition my data from one database into WordPress’?

3. Using POST requests. I managed to parse the POST request the posting form does in order to make requests of my own. This is complicated, however, due to use of session cookies.

Right now the option that seems the best to me is (2). Instead of messing with encoding issues or session cookies, I need to create a second database but the question is: in which way should my data be organized? How are the IDs working? I didn’t really manage to catch all of that using the docs available here.

[Robin W]

However, when BBPress is active, this will not work and will always redirecting to Homepage but if BBPress is activated, the custom code will work perfectly.

Can’t see a difference between the 1st half and the 2nd half of this sentence !!

Hello Support,

http://www.imanicogic.com
Wordpress Version:4.7.5
BBPress Version: 2.5.12

This was tried on other themes and our WordPress Developer encouraged us to submit this to you.
==========================
We are trying to redirect Members, Groups, and Activity pages to a custom URL. We are using the following code:

function church_bp_page_template_redirect()
{

if( ! is_user_logged_in() && ! bp_is_activation_page() && ! bp_is_register_page() && (bp_is_current_component(‘members’) bp_is_current_component(‘activity’) bp_is_current_component(‘groups’))) {
wp_redirect( ‘/imani-secured-login/’ );
exit();
}
}

add_action( ‘template_redirect’, ‘church_bp_page_template_redirect’,10 );

However, when BBPress is active, this will not work and will always redirecting to Homepage but if BBPress is activated, the custom code will work perfectly.

Can you please check if there are any conflicts with Buddypress and BBPress in regards to template_redirect?

Thanks!

We were running the stand alone bbPress for a loooong time.

We finally switched over to the plugin version last fall.

I am seeing a TON of 404 errors for URLs such as:

/forum/rss/topic/topic-name

AND

/forum/profile/profilename

I am pretty sure the solution for the /forum/profile/profilename is to create a rewrite that makes them all /users/ instead of /profile/ but I am not sure about the ones containing /rss/

From poking around I am thinking I should do:

/forum/rss/topic/topic-name

TO

/forum/topic/topic-name/feed

Assuming that the /rss/ URLs are ‘old’ stand alone bbPress related URLs.

Anyone have any insight on this?

[jelliott2014]

I am creating my first forum using bbPress 2.5.12 with WP 4.8. When registering as a new user, I am unable to do so; getting “Registration has been disabled.” I cannot find a setting in WP that allows new registrations. On the Net, All comments have mentioned enabling “allow new users” in Settings>General, but it is not present.

Am I missing the obvious?

[Robin W]

suspect your membership software is the issue

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

[TKServer]

Check it out. After hacking @casiepa’s branch to get user info, I how can view a topic in my mobile bbPress app! I’m getting the user’s avatar, display_name, topic title, date posted, forum name and of course the content of the topic!

[TKServer]

Hey @casiepa I branched your git hub repo and added a user end point so I can continue development of my mobile bbPress app. I’ve used git hub a lot, but never branched someone else’s repo so I couldn’t quite figure out how to connect them, so I just manually uploaded.

hi

Today I installed the bbpress plugin and converted all WordPress comments to bbpress topics.

It works for default post type, but what about custom post types? I trying show comments on that post types as bbpress topics, but unsuccessful.

Is that even possible?

[markolympic]

Once subscribers have logged in (we use manual approval of users) I would like a link to our forum titled “Discussion Group” to appear in the wpAdmin bar at the top of the page, preferably adjacent to their login name. How do I make this happen?

CURRENT
We have a WordPress website that includes CiviCRM, WooCommerce and also BBPress forums plugins. We have no tech experts in our offices–much of the website management falls to me. I have a lot of WordPress experience, but I’m no developer by any means. Managing a regular failing system of integrated plugins inspired us to join up with Neon to abolish CiviCRM and Woo from our website, in hopes of streamlining the logins and profiles and having fewer things to break…and troubleshoot.

Currently, we have a) WordPress users, who have b) WooCommerce memberships affiliated with them, which also syncs with c) CiviCRM. Additionally, we have a BBPress fueled forum which is open and public for all to view, but requires a membership to actually post and reply to.

FUTURE
During our consults with Neon, we were told about a single-sign on plugin that links their CRM with our WordPress site. Earlier this week I began researching how to set that up and discovered a few roadblocks that concern me. I’m hoping you can help shed some light on how best we can utilize the single-sign on function and still maintain our current operation with as little interruption as possible to our membership.

What I’d like to know is:
Once I delete all of the WordPress users out of our website (they can’t be in place because their sign-on is dictated by NeonCRM), what happens to the data in BBpress forums? Those posts are associated with usernames, but if the usernames are deleted…. then what?

Then, is there a way to associate those posts with their NEW sign-on that is associated with NeonCRM?

[aemcclane]

We are running a membership site and are using bbPress within the site. We are running into the problem that admins are the only ones able to see threads. Anyone not an admin cannot read what’s in the topic. They can post a topic but cannot read anyone else’s.

[Robin W]

Suspect you are using php 7.1
3 fixes
1. downgrade to a lesser version of php
2. upgrade to bbpress 2.6 RC
3. in bbpress 2.5.12 go to /includes/forums/functions.php and change line 1851 from
$meta_query = $posts_query->get( ‘meta_query’ );
to
$meta_query = $posts_query->get( ‘meta_query’, array() );
Since the next upgrade will fix that anyway, no issue in changing the bbpress file
best I can offer I’m afraid

I changed the memory limit but it did not improve. I changed templates and limited plugins to basic plugins only. Still it will not improve.

I enabled the debug mode and clicked the forum list, the following error was displayed.
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported for strings in /home/users/MY-WORDPRESS/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/functions.php:1800 Stack trace: #0 /home/users/MY-WORDPRESS/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(298): bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility(Object(WP_Query)) #1 /home/users/MY-WORDPRESS/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(323): WP_Hook->apply_filters('', Array) #2 /home/users/MY-WORDPRESS/wp-includes/plugin.php(515): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #3 /home/users/MY-WORDPRESS/wp-includes/class-wp-query.php(1681): do_action_ref_array('pre_get_posts', Array) #4 /home/users/MY-WORDPRESS/wp-includes/class-wp-query.php(3238): WP_Query->get_posts() #5 /home/users/MY-WORDPRESS/wp-includes/class-wp.php(617): WP_Query->query(Array) in /home/users/MY-WORDPRESS/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/functions.php on line 1800

I am using PHP 7.1, is not bbPress compatible with this?

[nicknabors]

On my page that the forum index shortcode is set, I created it in Elementor. Once I save it and view my page, the forum page displays the forum but in a topic in the forum, the bbpress index shortcode is pasted again making a forum within a forum. I couldn’t figure out how to fix this forumception so I’m appealing here.

[scottm-ldg]

Hi,
I’m new to bbPress, I have a forum that is set up, and I’d like to display the first 50 topics. I’ve successfully used the shortcode “bbp-topic-index” to display the first 15 topics, but I was wondering if there was a way to increase the number of topics?

Thanks in advance for your help
