Latest WP version, latest php version, 2016 Theme, latest bbPress version, site under construction.

I installed bbPress, followed the setup and create a forum following directions. When I click on View page or copy/paste url for the forum I get a blank page.

I deactivate and delete bbPress, clean cache and reinstall bbPress. Do everything according to directons and get a blank page.

When I click on the ‘All Forums’ link I get a blank screen even after creating forums. All forums set to no parent and order is set to 0.

I’ve installed and deactivated and cleared cache and mysql and reinstalled bbpress 7 times and keep getting a blank page no matter which url I try to display the forum. What’s that saying about people repeating the same mistake over and over and over??

I’ve run vBulletin for years, and phpBB, but no matter what I keep getting a blank forum screen with bbPress.

Hi support team,

I was trying to use your translatetion instructions but unfortunately it has not worked on my case.

1. I downloaded files mo./po. (Go to https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress)
2. renamed them accordingly “bbpress-de_DE”
3. uploaded to my server folder “wp-content/languages/buddypress”

But still are not working. Any ideas?

Looking forward to your help.

Hi,

I’ve many questions.

With BbPress is possible make this ? :

– The administrator can manage new members and assign roles ;
– Depending on the role the user can see, read the discussions, or just one or the other ;
– Do not show the answers to the discussion, but only the topic ;
– Instead in another discussion can do everything.

thanks for attention

Rats! Almost!

Unfortunately, this solution returns to a third page created by bbPress that displays the entire forum, which is great but not what I need.

I need it to return to the previous “page” that I created with the forum shortcode that got them to that particular topic. This way, members could go from host page to topic, back to host page and to second topic, and back to the host page and to a third topic.

This would open unimaginable opportunities for web designers for creativity. For instance, hosting multiple forums on the same page without any need for navigation.

I am having this problem also. Not getting email notifications as should be according to https://codex.bbpress.org/features/subscriptions/

Is there anything else that needs to be checked? so that subscribers are notified of new posts and new comments.

try

dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save

This resets the links and fixes 404 in most (but not all!) cases

bbpress 2.0.7 is very old, suggest you try 2.5.12 on your test site.

[afinkdesign]

Hey there!

I have installed bbPRess on my test system and then installed it the same way on my live system.
Now I have an issue with the page titles of bbpress pages.

When I log in as a non-admin user in live system the page titles are broken and all tites of bbprss pages are 404 errors. The content is showing just fine.
This issue orrurs only on live system. The ther things are working correctly.

Maybe thats relevant:
I set in bbpress settings the root to /forum
Then I have created a WP-Page called “forum”
Now the root seems to be this WP-Page

Thank you very much for your help!
Regards,
Alex

Hi @casiepa

Are you able to provide any update on this issue? Is it possible to review and incorporate the fixes @nesiditsa has discussed into the bbPress core or are there any plans to do so?

Thanks

[nesiditsa]

Hi @bullarni
This patches should be applied after any bbpress core update to renew changes.
I’m not bbpress developer and i don’t know reasons for which it not fixed yet in current stable version of core.

[bullarni]

Hi @nesiditsa

Excuse my ignorance but if those patches are applied do they continue to “just work” if the version of bbPress a site is running is updated? Or could potential changes to the core prevent the patches from working properly? Do the patches currently need to be reapplied whenever the core is updated?

Do you know of any good reason the fixes in the patches have not been incorporated into the core already?

Thanks

WP Version 4.7.5 I think I am using phpBB

I am using the bbpress forum tool. Everytime I try to delete a forum that has been overrun with spam – I get this error back. And it won’t even let me close it or make it private. HELP!!!

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 32 bytes) in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas02_data01/61/2063961/html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1841

Wordpress 4.7.5
bbpress 2.5.12

Out of respect to your time, I took a week to write this as carefully and succinctly as possible.

Is there a way to replace the breadcrumbs menu with a “Previous Viewed Page” option (it could be called anything, like “Back”)? That way, instead of members navigating around inside the forum, they would return from a topic to the web page that hosts the forum, e.g, far more advertising revenue possibilities.

As it works now:
Step one: https://sterlingforums.com/white-glove-service-forum/

Step two: Select a topic

Step three: navigate to /forums/forum/white-glove-forum/

Step four: select another topic from inside /forums/forum/white-glove-forum/

As it would work:
Step one: Select topic from inside .com/white-glove-service-forum/

Step two: Select the “Previous Page” from inside /forums/forum/white-glove-forum/all-about-our-cover-art/

Step three: Return to .com/white-glove-service-forum/

I didn’t want to leave 6 links! Finger’s Crossed! And, thank you.

[nesiditsa]

@casiepa, could you merge topic with this one? They are about same issue. Thank you!

[nesiditsa]

@dayan89, sorry, i forgot to tell you about a second patch – https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5392. It’s repair calculating of position for new reply.

[Robin W]

put this into your custom css

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content img, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content img {
  max-width: 70%;
}

Ok, i have something that seems to work, try it out if you want to, feel free to give me feedback on it.

function fix_default_search_string_is_bool($args)
{
    //bbpress gives FALSE as search string causing no replys to show, this fixes it.
    if ($args['s'] === false) {
        unset($args['s']);
    }
    return $args;
}

add_filter('bbp_after_has_replies_parse_args', 'fix_default_search_string_is_bool');

[Chad R. Schulz]

I understand why you might want only certain users creating topics.
But, I don’t understand why you wouldn’t want those who can create topics from also being able to create replies.

This would seem more functional long term:
membership1 = create topics + create replies
membership2 = create replies only

And like Robin W indicated a simple membership/role plugin could easily set this up. However, limiting those who can create topics to be able to only reply to their own topics would require some custom coding.

I’ve done similar customization, it just takes lots of work as a number of bbPress functions/templates would be affected in both the creating and editing of topics/replies.

And keep in mind all customized functions would need to be periodically updated as security issues arise and other often connected bbPress functionality is updated, as well. This wouldn’t be a set-up once and forget it modification.

Good luck,
Chad

Hi,
After making an import of data from phpBB 3.2 to bbPress 2.6beta2,
impossible to connect one of the users formerly present in phpBB.
The following errors are immediately displayed when attempting to connect:

Can someone help me figure out what’s going on? Thanks.

Hi there,

I’m running into an interesting issue and I’m hoping somebody can help. My client’s site is running bbPress and we have unchecked “Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies” in the settings but somebody still posted to the forum anonymously. After noticing the post I logged and noticed that the topic was started by user number that is no longer active in WordPress.

Is there another setting somewhere in bbPress that would allow users to post anonymously that I’m missing?

Thanks for your help.

I’m experiencing an issue where a forum is sending notification emails to almost all members bar a small handful. The forum has nearly 700 members but there are roughly ten members that never receive notifications.

Having checked for spam issues, setup SPF records and the bbPress Notify (No-Spam) plugin, I installed the WP Mail Log plugin which has revealed that emails simply aren’t being sent to these email addresses. The users are subscribed as far as we can tell but for some reason the system is not sending emails to these users.

I don’t think I’ve missed anything obvious, but could be wrong so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

hi robin, yes i did. is it? i wasn’t sure because the activity filter works fine for the rest but the entries made by bbpress do not. bp-support-forums didn’t answer. now i tried to deactivate all plugins and changed theme to standard, same… nobody else seems to have this problem. it’s weird 😀

[bjorngus]

Hi, i have the same error after only updating wordpress, not bbpress. Any solution to this ?
SQL is triggered in bbp_has_replies in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/template.php but it has not changed.

[semperaye]

I’ve tried this as well:

#sidebar-left .widget, #sidebar-right .widget {
margin: 0 0 1em !important;
}

body.bbpress div#content{
width:100% !important;
}

[guruprasadmulay]

Hi, i am using role scoper to give access to forums and bb press notifies to send notification emails. If I add a topic to the forum. It sends an email to every user who is not authorized to access it.

[possip]

hey, hope you’re well.

i could need some help on fixing my filter options in the activity stream for topics and replies. they just don’t filter, i’m still seeing everything

This is what i found:

	
function activity_filter_options() {
	?>

		<option value="<?php echo $this->topic_create; ?>"><?php esc_html_e( 'Topics',  'bbpress' ); ?></option>
		<option value="<?php echo $this->reply_create; ?>"><?php esc_html_e( 'Replies', 'bbpress' ); ?></option>

	<?php
	}

I’m pretty bad at php, but i have a feeling there must be something wrong. 😀 tried changing topic_create to bbp_topic_create, but no. Can you help me? 🙂
