Hi @panda666uk,

Kunena3 is in the list of forums that can be imported. Just go to /wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-converter after having installed WordPress and bbPress.

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
As the error indicates, this is coming from the bbpress-notify plugin, so you better post your issue on the dedicated support forum of that plugin.
Pascal.

Hello gpdesign93,

The following style will hide the menu:

body.bbpress #masthead .menu-container.menu-hide{display:none;}

body.bbpress .main-wrapper .row-container.row-breadcrumb.row-breadcrumb-light.text-right{display:none;}

body.bbpress .post-title-wrapper{display:none;}

body.bbpress .main-container .row-container .double-top-padding{padding-top:0;}

body.bbpress .menu-wrapper.menu-sticky.no-header{display:none;}

Regards,

Jason

Worked fine, thank you very much!

Still one Question, I kind of commented the previous www/wp-content/plugins/bbPress directory changing its name instead of erasing it, just in case, is that necessary? Or will the beta-2 version be updated normally when the new fixed version comes out?

[Pascal Casier]

Oh, I’m using bbPress 2.6-beta-2,
If you use 2.5.12, the ‘Oh bother’ message needs to be slightly adapted

Let me know what version you plan to use.

[lazormish]

I’m really sorry. Problem solved. The bbPress version 2.6-beta-6251 is magic!

Thanks!

[lazormish]

I’m having the exact same problem as above, but no idea how to fix the problem, since I already have installed the latest version of bbpress. Here is my error message:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported for strings in /home/sahbar5/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/functions.php:1800 Stack trace: #0 /home/sahbar5/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(298): bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility(Object(WP_Query)) #1 /home/sahbar5/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(323): WP_Hook->apply_filters(”, Array) #2 /home/sahbar5/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php(515): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #3 /home/sahbar5/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-query.php(1681): do_action_ref_array(‘pre_get_posts’, Array) #4 /home/sahbar5/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-query.php(3238): WP_Query->get_posts() #5 /home/sahbar5/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp.php(617): WP_Query->query(Array) #6 /home/sahbar5/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp.php(735): WP->query_posts() #7 /home/sahbar5/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php(955): WP->main(Array) #8 /home/sahbar5/public_html/wp-admin/includes/post.php(1072): wp(Array) #9 /home/sahbar5/public_html/wp-admin/includ in /home/sahbar5/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/functions.php on line 1800

What can I do?? Thanks for your help!

[paperprofit]

My problem was solved. I am not exactly sure how. This morning I started by setting up the protection (Wishlist) for each Forum, Topic and reply. I carefully selected the protection buttons and groups for each topic and reply and saved each page.

I reinstalled the bbPress WP4 fix and bbPress WP4 fix 2 as suggested and then everything worked as if I never had had the issue before.

I was sure that those fixes were installed and activated before. Whether I installed them properly or not (before) I am not sure, but I have all the plugins I had initially installed, yet the issue is gone.

So thank you to Robin.

bbpress uses wordpress registration.

wordpress assumes that you will need a role, so requires all users to have one.

The wordpress toolbar is frankly horrible.

so simplest solution is to hide the toolbar for all but non admins

there are several plugins available to do this

eg https://wordpress.org/plugins/hide-admin-bar-from-non-admins/

[panda666uk]

Are there any free tools/files/code out there to migrate a Kunena forum on a joomla site over to bbpress on a wordpress site ?

Thanks

[catseyepublishing]

I am building a community website which will enable groups to post help requests on a bbpress forum. To post requests, all forum users must register.

In testing, when participants register for the forum, they are being assigned WP user roles too. I have set this to be Subscriber, but this is allowing them to access JetPack and some other things from the dashboard.

I don’t want forum particpants to have any access to the dasboard – only to bbpress forums. Am I missing a settings somewhere?

Thanks for your help.

I am using WP 4.7.3 and bbpress 2.5.12

Hi Robin, you know images from my own site are all SSL so WordPress works in this instance but its with BBPress when the user makes a post and uses the insert image button to link an image from another site that the problems occour ie:

<img src="https://i.imgur.com/V6sg3f0.png" alt="" />
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/V6sg3f0.png" alt="" />
<img src="i.imgur.com/V6sg3f0.png" alt="" />

but this site here is changing the http to https in all links so the demonstration is a bit of a fail 🙂

But a non https url will not break a certificate as that only happens if the link is embedding something in the post.

[stefaanc]

No, unfortunately it doesn’t. Actually, it were the LearnDash developers who pointed me to bbPress for this problem 😉

We did set up a try-out course using LearnDash. As we did not find a “post first” feature, we searched the LearnDash documentation and eventually asked it in their support forum. Their answer was: “No, it’s not possible yet. We use bbPress for our forum functionality and we suggest you ask the question there.”

So we’re back to square 1, i.e. your first answer: “In basic bbPress you won’t find this, but maybe with a combination of plugins or some short coding, you should be able to achieve this.”

Any specific suggestions on the latter?

Thanks again!

[Steve]

Ok. Thank you.

I guess that answers my questions.

The question being, is there a way to add a “my profile” link to a menu.

The answer is, if I am hearing correctly. Yes, sorta, if you edit some function files.

And the answer is also, No – there is no way to do this with bbPress. bbPress does not offer a way for people to edit their profiles unless the user is savy enough to know they should click their profile name in a forum post to see/edit their profile.

I just assumed there would be an easy way to do this. It seems a core function. But I guess I am wrong.

Makes me wonder how others make “profile” pages for their users?

Thanks for the answer.

Hello,

I’m using the latest version of WP/BBpress/theme (SmartMag). With all plugins turned off, except, bbpress, I still can’t get the visual editor button to work. It’s there, you can click on it, but it won’t do anything.

The theme author swears it works with BBpress since 1.5 – so I don’t know where or how to troubleshoot?

Please advise if you have any ideas, thanks!

[Pascal Casier]

Hi Steve,

As Robin answered, you could look into his coding for the bbP Style Pack to see how it works.

There is also https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#8-add-edit-profile-to-a-wordpress-menu that might give you a hint.

Pascal.

[stefaanc]

Hello Pascal,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, the kind of forum I have in mind is one forum per question. The question would be one that triggers opinions rather than exact answers. If students would read the already available answers first, opinions tend to cluster around the ones that were given first. If they have to formulate their opinion before being able to read the others, there is much larger variety of opinions. And yet they can engage in discussions about each other’s opinions afterwards.

I’m new to WordPress and bbpress, but from the try-outs and tests we have been doing over the past week it looks like the LearnDash plugin in combination with bbpress would be suitable for our needs. We’re ready to invest some work in this if needed. Hence, if you have a suggestion about suitable plugins or would have specific advice for the ‘short coding’ you mention, we will surely investigate.

Thanks !

[KurzBaginski]

The Code is available at https://github.com/georgemichaelis/bbpress-forced-subscription too.

Hi @hadesteam,

I’m currently building a converter from google groups to bbPress. When I finish that one I might have a look to help you. Can you drop me an email so we keep in touch. You can find my email on http://casier.eu/wp-dev/

Thanks.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi @col_blimp,

Not sure why you want to do this, because it will depend if the site where the picture is, is listening to https or not.

But if you look for a hook, it might be this one: http://hookr.io/plugins/bbpress/2.5.9/filters/bbp_edit_topic_pre_insert/

[Pascal Casier]

Hi @fabianno0572,

The best way to put extra functions is in a functions.php in a child theme.

Some is explained here: https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/

[Pascal Casier]

Hi @sallyruchman,

There is a standard widget for bbPress, you can find info here: https://codex.bbpress.org/features/widgets/

You could also check this page https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#21-show-5-recent-topics-after-forum-index and e.g. topic 21 or so for different ideas.

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi @stefaanc,

In basic bbPress you won’t find this, but maybe with a combination of plugins or some short coding, you should be able to achieve this.

Just some thoughts, do you see a different forum per question, then topics would be what students answer and then eventually replies could be give to the specific topic (answers) ?
Or would your questions be topics in one or the other forum and then the answers would be replies ?

[Pascal Casier]

@dominikb-1,

Did you read till the end of the codex page ?
