I just installed bbPress 2.5.12 on WordPress 4.7.2. I created a test forum with one topic. I haven’t changed any of the default settings. When I load the forum page, I get this:

Forums
by (Edit)
Search for: Home › Forums Forum Topics Posts Freshness Cardstock 1 1 1 hour, 55 minutes ago Cheryl

It looks just like a bunch of text with no formatting. Here’s the link: http://livelovecards.com/forums/

I haven’t tried disabling plugins because I have a lot of them and my site is subscription, so I don’t want to disrupt service. I’m hoping this is an obvious problem to someone out there.

Thanks so much for your help!

Hi there,

Just to let you know, i found a workaround. I edited the page.php to bbpress. And with the plugin Widget logic, i am able to filter the sidebar.

Thank you!

Hi Robin,

Thank you for your reply, see under here:

<?php
/*
Template Name: BBpress
*/
?>

<?php wp_head(); ?>

<?php $thumb = ( has_post_thumbnail() ) ? wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), ‘profile-featured-medium’ ) : false; ?>

<!– BEGIN .container –>

<div class=”container”>

<!– BEGIN .post class –>

<div <?php post_class(); ?> id=”page-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>

<?php if (get_theme_mod(‘display_feature_page’, ‘1’) == ‘1’) { ?>
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?>

<!– BEGIN .row –>

<div class=”row”>

<div class=”feature-img page” >
<div class=”banner” <?php if ( ! empty( $thumb ) ) { ?> style=”background-image: url(<?php echo esc_url( $thumb[0] ); ?>);” <?php } ?>>
<h1 class=”headline img-headline”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_post_thumbnail( ‘profile-featured-medium’ ); ?>

</div>
</div>

<!– END .row –>

</div>

<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>

<!– BEGIN .row –>
<div class=”row”>

<!– BEGIN .twelve columns –>
<div class=”twelve columns”>

<!– BEGIN .postarea full –>
<div class=”postarea full”>

<?php get_template_part( ‘content/loop’, ‘page’ ); ?>

<!– END .postarea full –>
</div>

<!– END .twelve columns –>
</div>

<!– END .row –>
</div>

<!– END .post class –>
</div>

<!– END .container –>
</div>

can you copy your bbpress.php here so I can take a look

[Stanjop]

Hi everyone,

Im totally breaking my head on this one. I’m trying to get the sidebar to work with my bbpress forum but it just doesn’t appear on the right side of the page. If i use the <?php get_sidebar(); ?> command within the bbpress.php file i created within my theme folder, the sidebar does show, but only on top of the page. It just doesn’t nicely blend in with the forum.

I also tried various plugins for getting a sidebar, but those also don’t show up. Anyone has any ideas, maybe experiencing the same issues?

Thanks allot,

Regards, Mark

Hi,

I know I can set forums one by one to PRIVATE. But if I want every bbPress-page to be private, how can I achieve that?

The forum index page should display a login form for non-logged in users and when logged in the forum index.

I’m thinking there must be a simple solution for this out there but everything I can find includes a lot of hassle.

Is there a settings option I’m missing? Or a simple plugin?

[adamjedgar]

i am a little surprised that bbpress developers would go to the trouble of generically allowing nested topics with a single checkbox click, however, nested forums are not doable.

anyway, i have downloaded the plugin.

thanks.

Hi,

Is there a way of adding these to bbpress, such are ‘My rather long thread – Page 9 – My forum name’ In my experience it allows search engines to return a lot more results for forums when these are in place…

Thank you.

Im using bbpress import (with some modification to avoid some table cell name errors) to import a very big database (200k post) from phpbb3. bbp converter runs corretly but after some minute i got ERR_CONNECTION_RESET and the process stop. When i try to start again the process this didnt work.

I know this process is to big to run on Chrome/Firefox, so i want to try to run this on background. There i some way to run the importer on background to avoid this error and do a sucefull import for this huge database?

[yoyoma1999]

I am using WordPress 4.7.2 and bbpress Version 2.5.12. I have tried the code as mentioned in previous post. However, it doesn’t work. Could any generous guys can help me?

My main objective is to set spectator to have ability to post/edit a post. That’s it.

1. Is there any other easiest way to do it?
2. If no, any change besides the false/true value I suppose to amend?
3. Where should I put the code, only capabilites.php?

I wish someone can show me step by step solution. Thank you so much.

hi,
I’m new in using bbPress.
I should start by allowing the forum to a dozen people (which I will register) to participate in the forum by making sure that only these see it (and they can easily login).
The next step will allow everyone to see the forum (with a forum indication on the menu) but not write.
The last step will allow each user to register himself and then be able to intervene.
Each operation must be moderated.
I have already installed bbpres moderation and bbp private groups
I was interested to have some tips on how to set up the forum to following these steps.

[sjc]

I had a similar need – to show the user’s bio on their replies – so sharing my solution here, a simple function created after having a look at this nifty little plugin by Robin W.

function show_bio_bbp_replies () {
$user_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id );
$usermeta = get_userdata( $user_id, 'description' );
echo '<p class="bbp-reply-user-bio">'.$usermeta->description.'</p>';
}
add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'show_bio_bbp_replies');

[Robin W]

This used to work, see no reason why it should not still be fully functional!

Hello bbPress Profis,

i’m searching for a plugin to make some pre=defined topics for BuddyPress Groups.

Like Restaurants, Parties, etc…

So, if i’m making a new group, i would like to get my group forum with the pre-defined plugins, or sub-forums…

Thanks a lot,
Csaba

[cskasler]

Hello bbPress Profis,

i hope, that i can find a solution or you can help me…

i’m searching for a plugin to make different forms for different topics.

for example: topic name web designers:

form to post:
– Name:
– City:
– Experience:
– etc…

other topic name: Job
topic form:
Company name:
Job title:
Job description:
Salary:
Start date:
etc…

And i would like to get a pre-formatted post…

is there a plugin what can help me?

I’m not a coder, so i can make only smaller changes, i use plugins to build my own sites, but in this case i would need a lot of different user made content and this would be a cool solution, to don’t need 20 different plugins to make my site slow.

I reset the forum. Reimported and recalculated the relationships with the bbPress tools. So far it is working again.

[Asbjoern]

Hello

Today I imported a forum from MyBB software. After this action I can no longer access the bbPress page “Replies” in WP admin backend. I receive an error 503 “Service unavailable”. The problem occurs with this URL:

– http://www.undertoner.dk/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply

I have performed all possible repairs through the tools.
I have disabled all plugins except bbPress.
I run the latest PHP version.
I can see and edit the replies in frontend.
I can add new replies in frontend.

I am almost certain it is a server database issue.
None of the replies have titles and I have read this might be an issue.

Can you somehow help in any way?

Hi,
Is it possible to use WordPress shortcodes in bbPress posts? (I mean either native WordPress shortcodes such as [caption][/caption], [gallery ...], or shortcodes defined by third-party plugins).
To be more precise, I’m the author of a WordPress plugin that allows to insert chess diagrams and/or chess games in WordPress posts/pages (see https://wordpress.org/plugins/rpb-chessboard/). I would like to extend to have chess games/diagrams in bbPress posts.
Thank you beforehand.

[Robin W]

so with just askimet and bbpress on a vanilla theme you have a problem?

[horizon70s]

Hello,

The problem is with Askimet. I thought it was supposed to work with BBpress? I see the option in the settings to allow them to work together.

[Robin W]

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

I am looking to change the buttons in the default text editor to those that appear in the fancy visual editor. My audience is overseas and are familiar with the “microsoft word” style of buttons. I have tried Enabling the visual editor however am experiencing issues with inline replies. I actually prefer the default text editor as it strips out copied html, so really I just need so fancy buttons. Can I do so with css or create a filter to call the other toolbar instead of qt_bbp_topic_content_toolbar ?

[Robin W]

many threads botn on this forum and on the all in one seo pack page

google

bbpress all in one seo

and you’ll see a list

This one frequently fixes apparently :

I spoke to the author of the All in One SEO Pack and was told to delete and reinstall the plugin. Surprisingly, it worked even though I already had the latest version.

[rick561]

Not sure where the conflict lies, but having the two plugins activated, results in no access to bbPress’ settings page.

Deactivating All In One SEO Pack fixes it but, would like to have them both. Halp!

bbPress – Version 2.5.11
All In One SEO Pack – Version 2.3.11.4

Hi @fhasst1,

(Let me start by noting it could very well be that you already know this—but something in your post made me want to call it out just in case you weren’t aware.)

bbPress runs on top of WordPress. That’s important because it means if a user has logged into your (WordPress-driven) site/app then, by extension, they will have logged into the forum (insofar as bbPress will realize they are an authenticated user and will be able to identify them) … no need for a separate login.

Also, I think it’s worth calling out the fact that when it comes to adjusting the way bbPress behaves, or building some new forum feature, there is a really quite extensive set of functions, hooks and methods available to you that make it a really awesome platform to build on.
