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.

@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.

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,

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

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?

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.

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.

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

[scrawny]

If you’ve found the solution please post it here as I’ve got the same problem and been trying for weeks to get bbpress to look nice.

[UserCentrix]

I am trying to integrate BBPress into a site created with Toolset – Layouts, Types and Views.

The following BBPress shortcodes require an ID parameter:

[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]
[bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id]
[bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id]
[bbp-single-reply id=$reply_id]

Each of the IDs required above are aliases for the post_id, which Toolset privides a shortcode for. In order to get the templates to work for layouts applied to single Forums, Topics and Replies I need to include the current post ID. The simplest way I can imagine to do this would be as follows?

[bbp-single-forum id='[wpv-post-id]’]
[bbp-topic-form forum_id='[wpv-post-id]’]
[bbp-single-topic id='[wpv-post-id]’]
[bbp-single-reply id='[wpv-post-id]’]

Unfortunately I get the following output at the front end?

‘]

This makes clear to me that nested shortcodes are not supported in the BBPress. Is there a straightforward way of extending this functionality, perhaps through the functions.php file? This would create full compatibility with BBPress and Toolset. I couldn’t find any solutions to this shared on this support forum but it seems to me as something that may be a common problem and could have been tackled before.

I hope you can assist.

I was installed bbPress 2.5.12 on WordPress 4.7.5.
Then I made various settings of bbPress and created a new forum.

But the forum is not displayed.
When entering the forum from “View forum” in the forum creation editor, the whole screen is pure white.
https://WORDPRESS-DOMAIN/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum

When I go directly to the URL of a separate forum, a normal WordPress site will be displayed.
In the main place, “Can’t find it, there is nothing here, please try the search.” is displayed.

Slug of forum root>Forum prefix part;
Even if I turn ‘Add slug’ on/off, nothing changes.

Management panel (left pane/dashboard) > Forum > Forum list or Add new forum
Here again the screen is nothing display.
Even when uninstalling plugin or reinstalling it, it does not change.

How do I use bbPress?

I’ve started coding an angular/mobile bbPress app. I’ve already got a “latest topics” feed working in the app via the API by @mapofemergence and it works great. I just ran into the first hurdle, which is that WP’s API does not allow access to user info. A custom API to get the user’s name and avatar etc would be needed.

@casiepa I will check yours out as well.
