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?

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?

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.
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

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?

[imanicogic]

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!

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.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi all,
Just to keep you informed (I forgot to post the link here before) that some people already provided input on the bbpress API version that is on https://github.com/ePascalC/bbp-API/
It’s setup in a different way, but if anyone wants to help building/proposing things on that one, feel free. I hope in the end both will serve to come to a final bbPress integrated API.
Pascal.

Installed bbPress Beta 2.6 Beta 2 and works fine on php 7.0.19. Whooohoooo!!!

[TKServer]

I’m starting development of my bbPress mobile app. I have noticed that buddyPress has an RSS feed for latest member activity, which also has bbPress posts. One could utilize that, but it is very limited and shows multiple duplicates of the same post if a user edits.

[Robin W]

ok, so this is a search function – yes?

If so, look at this code that I use with my private groups plugin to filter search results and see if you can make this work for you

//this function filters to the bbp search function to allow only returns from allowed forums

function pg_has_search_results( $args = '' ) {
