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.

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.

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,
Nefarius

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.

Hello,

I want to remove the bbPress Forum menu from frontend because it shows all forums for users although they hvae no access to it. How can I do this?

[dram2017]

Hi
Newbie would be grateful for some help …..

WordPress 4.7.4 – bbPress 2.5.12
https://bijouxbutterflies.co.uk/forums/

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

[Robin W]

one will be from your theme and one from bbpress.

if you have a link, I can give you code to hide the other

[sunnygee2017]

Is there a limit to the number of top-level forums and subs?

[sgirldesigns]

I’d like to have a user directory on the account that links to the bbPress profiles. I have not been able to find a stetting or plugin that can do that for me.

[datboi]

Nevermind i fixed it!The problam was with the php version i was using (7.1).
I downloaded the beta version of the bbpress and well everything works well!

Hi there,

Reply to Topic Link Not Working

Hi all

Shared Windows hosting.
WordPress 4.6.5 running Karma theme.

Hosting provider will not change the IIS config for just me, they recommend me adding a Linux shared hosting and host the bbpress on that server, external to the site.

When I search with one word – it works fine. When I search with two words it gives the error:

HTTP Error 404.11 – Not Found
The request filtering module is configured to deny a request that contains a double escape sequence.

Most likely causes:
The request contained a double escape sequence and request filtering is configured on the Web server to deny double escape sequences.

Things you can try:
Verify the configuration/system.webServer/security/requestFiltering@allowDoubleEscaping setting in the applicationhost.config or web.confg file.

Anybody got a solution for me?

[danaroo]

Yes, I removed the hyphen in the forum root slug because otherwise it takes me to the ‘wrong’ link;

Community Forum

I started looking at the started looking at the Single Forum Slug thinking this may be an issue but it seemed changing that slug didn’t do anything except cause bbPress ‘conflict’

I think I would rather disable the breadcrumb link rather than have it go to the wrong place. Might you have a suggestion here? (Forum Topics>Adverse Impacts>Forum)

[Nirmal Kumar]

I have created a forum with bbpress. Here it is.

QuestionUs Forum – The Official forum of OnlineRockersHub

Inside this site, I have forums like Affiliate Marketing, Blogging, Discussion etc. When I click these forums, the individual forums open with a slug

forum/affiliate-marketing/
forum/blogging
forum/discussion

When I click on any thread, they open with the slug

topic/cuelinks-has-increased-payout
topic/what-are-your-favorite-blogging-tools

But, I don’t want the slug for the individual threads to be like this. I want them to be,

dicussion/cuelinks-has-increased-payout
blogging/what-are-your-favorite-blogging-tools

I want the term topic in slug to be replaced with the forum name. How to achieve this?

[Robin W]

ok, appreciate it is frustrating – I am currently fighting another IT corporate system that is annoying the hell out of me !

It is a theme/bbpress issue, so we need to try stuff to work out what works

so can you set up a page called community forum and have it’s permalink end in ‘communityforum’ and into the content of that page put

[bbp-topic-index]

[danaroo]

Hi Robin, so I now, again, just deleted the hyphen in my Settings>Forum>root slug and what happens is the Community Forum Page now links to what I am calling a POST, which is;

https://nolaportegravel.org/communityforum/

This link take me to a “post” that I don’t seem to have set up anywhere. Its something backend with bbPress, I’m assuming.

(what I meant by “without it, it goes back to the post”, is without the hyphen in the root slug OR permalink, it takes me to this post mentioned above.

Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /home/content/a2pewpnas01_data03/66/3912866/html/wp-content/themes/simplenotes/functions.php on line 118

I know it is to do with something in my template that bbpress doesn’t like, is there a simple fix for this without removing my theme?

[DragoWeb]

Hi, the apostrophe (simple quote) was displayed as &#039 ; in the email subject so I fixed this by adding this line:

$topic_title = mb_convert_encoding($topic_title, 'UTF-8', 'HTML-ENTITIES');

in myrsite\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\common\functions.php, lines 1094 and 1252 (bbpress 2.5.12). Between these 2 lines:

$topic_title   = strip_tags( bbp_get_topic_title( $topic_id ) );
$topic_title   = mb_convert_encoding($topic_title, 'UTF-8', 'HTML-ENTITIES');
$topic_content = strip_tags( bbp_get_topic_content( $topic_id ) );

I’m a beginner with php so maybe there is a better way to achieve this, but worked great for me 🙂

Hello,

First of all i am using 4.7.4 version of WordPress and 2.5.12 version of bbpress.
The problem is when i click “Forums” button (on WordPress Admin) i get HTTP 500 error
this happens when i click “New Forum” or “All Forums” too.

The weird part is that i can open a topic without no forum.

My WordPress site: forums.the-rvo.com

[enquirer32]

So. All of my forums have disappeared so its not surprising I can’t see them! Is there some kind of self-destruct button in bbpress?

[bigt11]

@welshdemon did you ever figure this out, I am pretty much doing – stuck exactly where you are. I am going for older bbpress to newer bbpress that is part of a full site update and just want to bring everything in cleanly. It does bring in my replies, and they seem to be connected properly in the backend, but frontend, they do not show.

If i edit a reply, and just hit the update button, it will then show. I want to avoid doing that 1000 times.

Even if I export the topics from the new site, that show properly after I did the update trick mentioned above, then bring it back in (wordpress import) to test if it will import properly, it does not, has same symptoms a you mentioned.
