Ok. Tried something else. I activated the bbpress plugin on a new site that is hosted on a remote server and there is now a Forums option on the Menu Appearance page. It’s either this or a registration issue.

Hi Robin,

But previously we were able to view the Title of the forum, but how come it happen like this. On your bbpress forum you are able to view the title. I contact with my theme support they told me to contact you because of its the bbpress issue. In fact when the user check the notify me checkbox the user not getting any mail.

Please do the needful at the earliest

[howlinghunter]

Sorry I don’t have a link as I’m working on it locally. I have done some screen shots but have no where to post them at the moment. Will try and describe it better.

So if you load up the site you would see the following menu items along the top:

Home | Manuals | Blog | Forums | Contact Us | Log In | List Your Password | Join Us

If you put your mouse over the Forums link you would see:

Home | Manuals | Blog | Forums | Contact Us | Log In | List Your Password | Join Us
Apple
Android
Microsoft
Apps & Software
Gadgets & Stuff

These are the forums that were there when I activated the bbpress plugin and are part of the Avada demo site. The ones that I have created aren’t listed.

If I click Forums and go to the Forums landing page I see the forums I created and the demo ones.

So if I then go into the Menu appearance page I can see the demo forums listed under the Menu Structure section. I can’t see how they were added. There is nothing under Pages, Posts, Custom Links or Categories, which means I can’t even back track to see how it was done. As I mentioned before, even if I remove a forum entry from under Menu Structure section nothing then appears on the left so I can re-add it.

Does that make more sense?

[Robin W]

use the plugin GD bbpress attachments for files.

@bullarni No, this hasn’t been resolved (I’m running the latest stable version of bbpress). I have not tried implementing the patches since they are so old.

[bullarni]

Hi,
I am seeing this exact same issue on a forum I use and it’s pretty annoying. The worst part being redirected back to the start every time a reply is posted. The same issue is also present in the thread links that are included in the notification emails sent to participants subscribed to the thread.

@reedy have you resolved your issue yet? Have the patches mentioned above that apparently resolve the issue been incorporated into a stable release version yet?

Note: as mentioned in this issue, only topics with a large amount of replies is affected by the bug. In our case we have one topic with over 950 pages and one with over 740 pages so this issue has been affecting the two most popular topics for quite a while now.

I am just a user so don’t have any knowledge of what version of bbPress they are currently running but I would like to help them resolve the issue. If the fix is included in a release version I believe it will be much easier to help them update than trying to explain how to apply the proposed patches.

Cheers

Hi,

I’m using an Avada theme and I’m having problems with adding my own forums to the Forum menu dropdown. The theme has a handful of forums set up, so that when bbpress is activated they appear in the forums section.

The problem I’m having is I want to add my own forums and have them appear in the dropdown list, but I can’t see how this is done.

Creating forums is fine, as well as adding a master forum and adding sub forums to it is ok. When I go to the main Menu and try to add them there I can’t see them listed. I have no idea how they get added.

I’ve tried deleting a couple of the sample forums to see what happens and to see if I can work it out. No go. They disappear from the dropdown list and are greyed out when I go to the main Menu. I removed a forum from the Menu list to see if it appeared on the left hand side, nothing.

Am I missing something obvious here?

[Robin W]

seems like that will be fixed in bbpress 2.6

so 3 fixes

1. downgrade to a lesser version of php
2. upgrade to bbpress 2.6beta-2
3. in bbpress 2.5.12 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

[Robin W]

oh, and I presume you mean you are running bbpress 2.5.12 not 2.5.2

[Robin W]

seems php 7.1 has issues with a lot of plugins, 2 mentioned here

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-7-0-14-to-7-1-1-operator-not-supported-for-strings/

and a bbpress trac ticket

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2987

I’m running php 7.0.17 with no issues

Is it possible to customize the menu in forum and topic pages to delete the breadcrumbs altogether and only have a “Back” button option?

Wordpress Version – 4.7.4
bbpress – Version 2.5.12

Be Forbes Art Forum

[blasterspike]

Unfortunately I haven’t found a solution.
I still think that due to

Existing passwords are converted during the import so users can login to WordPress/bbPress as soon as the import and recounts have finished.

the converter should have saved the database information to read phpbb_users somewhere but it hasn’t, that’s way I’m getting the “Error establishing a database connection”.
Which I think is somehow related to
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1886

At this point I will ask my users to reset their password.
During my tests, I have also discovered that even if you reset your password, you are still getting the “Error establishing a database connection” error for migrated user and to “skip” it, you have to rename/delete the table “wp_bbp_converter_translator”.

Hi,
I browsed through your forum to find out if there was a solution to my problem but didn’t find any suitable answer.

My website for the forum-section is : http://cdf-lardy.fr/forums which results in a blank screen. In the back-office, i can simply create new forums but cannot access the “forums” or “All forums”-view, giving the same blank screen.

Version :
WP : 4.7.4
bbPress : 2.5.2
PHP version is 7.1

All other plugins are updated, i tried to disable them all, no changes.

I enabled debug function and got following message :

I’ve been digging a lot and trying all kinds of different things but really have no idea how to get my site working again.

For whatever reason – every time I try and login to the standard Admin dashboard at “restomod101.com/test/wp-admin” for WordPress I get redirected to “restomod101.com/test/forum-registration/” which leads me to think its a redirect issue with bbpress but I could be wrong.

Whereas “restomod101.com/test/wp-login” takes me to a 404 error page.

What makes this all the more odd is the homepage seems to work fine EXCEPT when I click on any link, it resolves to a 404 page.

I’ve tried turning all the plugins off by renaming my plugins folder, I’ve tried my main themes folder but that takes me to a blank page.

What exactly has gone wrong?

Page is: restomod101.com/test/

Just trying to access the standard admin dashboard, I’ve put so much work into this site to lose it now!! Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

[forums1234]

I am trying to only have topics show up inside forums and not on pages.

I’ve clicked off the discussions and comments in screen options. I’ve deselected Allow Comments in sharing options. On the actual forum, I’ve disabled discussion and comments in the screen options. I even installed and activated, “No Page Comment” and selected “Pages” and in the settings, disabled all page comments and trackbacks. Yet, topics are still on all my pages.

Can anyone tell me if I forgot something, or knows a solution? It’s like my bbPress is possessed by evil stuff.

[realnsleo]

Hi Robin,
I have just tried your code with BBPress 2.5.12 and I can not see the “trash” links. I hope it’s not a lot to ask, but could you know why it might be broken?

From what I could test, it has something to do with the lines where the capabilities are given, for example this line:

//allow any reply to be deleted
if ($post_type == bbp_get_reply_post_type()) $caps = array('delete_replies');

I appreciate any response.

Regards,

Another solution for those interested. This makes use of the “Shortcodes in Menus” plugin to easily place the bbpress “View Profile” and “Edit Profile” links in your WordPress nav menus. Instructions:

1 – Install the free plugin “Shortcodes in Menus”
2 – Place the following code in your theme’s functions.php file:

function menu_profile_link() { 
		$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
		$profile_menu_item = '<li><a href="' . home_url('forums/users/') . $current_user->user_nicename . '">View Profile</a></li>';
		return $profile_menu_item;
}
add_shortcode('bbp-profile', 'menu_profile_link');

function menu_edit_profile_link() { 
		$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
		$profile_menu_item = '<li><a href="' . home_url('forums/users/') . $current_user->user_nicename . '/edit">Edit Profile</a></li>';
		return $profile_menu_item;
}
add_shortcode('bbp-edit-profile', 'menu_edit_profile_link');

3 – In WordPress go to your Menus and go to the new Shortcodes panel. Type in “View Profile” as the title and underneath that type in [bbp-profile] to place the profile link in your menu. Click “Add to Menu”. Repeat this process using the shortcode [bbp-edit-profile] to add the “Edit Profile” link.

4 – I’d also recommend the free plug-in “Nav Menu Roles” to restrict your menu items to logged in or logged out users.

Hope this is useful!

Hey there,

I would like to replace an old vBulletin-Board with bbPress. Yet the polling options are heavily used by users that I don’t want to bother with “goto wp-poll first, create a poll, copy this snippet in your post and adjust the poll-id”. My search so far did not reveal a better solution.
Is there one?
Is there another wp-plugin that can forum and easy poll functionality?

Kind regards,

Hello,

I have a plugin that is used to index search results in to Amazon CloudSearch. I’ve written the below code to exclude private forums from search results. Now I need some code to automatically exclude all topics inside a private forum.

function exclude_private_forums_search() {
	$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id();
	if (get_post_status($forum_id) == 'private') {
		add_post_meta($forum_id, 'acs_exclude', 1, true );
	} else {
		delete_post_meta($forum_id, 'acs_exclude');
	}
}
add_action('bbp_new_forum', 'exclude_private_forums_search' );
add_action('bbp_edit_forum', 'exclude_private_forums_search' );

Is there anyway I can get a list of topic IDs inside a forum ID?

Running latest version of bbPress and WordPress.

Thanks.

Using the “Creating Content” guide I created my first forum and topic with no problems.
I then created a second forum (latest news) with one topic (trade mark registered).
Although both forums and both topics show in wp-admin, when I visit the website only the first forum shows.
What do I have to change to get both forums listed?
Thanks

one will be from your theme and one from bbpress.
