Hi, can’t provide link to page because it’s a private / paid site: fapsa.org.uk

When I try to go to Forums I get ‘HTTP ERROR 500’ and this in my error log:

[30-Jan-2017 18:21:55 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class WP_Taxonomy in /home/fapsa******/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-includes/backpress/class.wp-taxonomy.php on line 17

Any suggestions?

BuddyPress: 2.7.4
WordPress: 4.7.2

I think the problem is that I’ve been using legacy Forums in BuddyPress. Is there any way to transfer them across to bbPress?

untested as I’m short of time this evening but…

create a directory in your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

if you take out line 44 which says

<?php bbp_list_forums(); ?>

Then sub forums will not be listed

this is all handled by wordpress and presumably cleantalk. bbpress just uses what wordpress has. Suggest you post on the wordpress/cleantalk support sites

In bbPress 1.x there was a feature called “bozo”, what that did was hide any topics and replies from users that had been “bozo’d” though the bozo user would continue to see their own topics and replies.

This feature has not been migrated to bbPress 2.x, there is a discussion in ticket #2755 on some potential ideas and suggests a couple of plugin and plugin ideas that might pave the way for some future bbPress 2.x enhancement.

… I cried victory too early: I ran into https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/recent-topicsreplies-from-private-forum-are-not-displayed-in-widget-why/ and moreover the workaround suggested there doesn’t work for hidden forums. 🙁 So back to square one…

[mattiejas]

I’m running a website with two private groups, and I’ve run into a snag. It turns out that all logged in users can also see topics posted into private forums in the “recent topics” widget, even if they are not member of a private group. Naturally if they click on these topics, they cannot see the contents of the thread, but the topic titles occasionally do leak information that they shouldn’t be able to see.

Is this a known bug with the bbpress “recent topics” widget? Is there a way of fixing this?

I’m running wordpress 4.7.2, buddypress 2.7.4, and bbpress 2.5.12 (also jetpack, askimet, and wordfence, at their latest versions). Happy to provide more information if need be.

Thanks in advance for any help!

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

[Robin W]

try

bbpress wp4 fix

or

bbpress wp4 fix2

Hi,

We are using bbPress on http://failuresrepublic.com/ and topics are not showing on single forum pages instead it shows the counts of topics as “This forum contains 1 topic and was last updated…”. Here is the URL: http://failuresrepublic.com/forums/discussions/talks/

I tried all the techniques as suggested in this thread.

Still, our issue is resolved.A help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Good afternoon,

I am currently working on my website which utilises BBpress for it’s key function. I have set all of the forums to private so that only users can visit them. I am now currently trying to prevent a category of user from being able to access other user’s posts.

I am using the user role editor plugin to do this, which allows me to prevent people from reading private topics. Sounds easy enough, but how do I set topics (as opposed to forums) to private?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have BBPress installed on our organization website. Unfortunately, we are getting a good number of spammers subscribing daily to the forum presumably looking to post backlinks. I have not figured out how to stop this except to deactivate the plugin. If I do that, will the content that is currently in the forums be saved. Will I be able to reactivate the plugin at a later date and have the content in tact? Better yet, is there a way to better screen subscribers to prevent spammers from subscribing.

Thank you.

I just added bbpress options to the wp-mass delete plugin. If you install it you can see what settings it has and whether it will suit you

[Robin W]

I altered wp-mass delete to allow bbpress options

WP Mass delete bbpress version

USE WITH CARE and backup your database first !!! I take no responsibility for this !

@lbonini
see https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-6-beta/
It has been added to 2.6 already, so we are close to release !

Hi,
You are referring to ‘posts’, so maybe you mean standard WordPress blog posts ? In that case you better ask the question on https://wordpress.org/support/

If you mean bbPress ‘Topics’ or ‘Replies’, then your admin panel should only show you some topics or replies at a time, so you should be able to see them under the corresponding headers in your menu and delete them.

Topics and Replies are stored in the database as standard posts, so they should be there.

Hi

after being logged in the

(bbPress) Recent Topics
works great from every part of the website.

but the

(bbPress) Forums List
shows only a title of the widget and no forums, UNLESS I´m browsing into the forums themselves…then there is everything (‘any’) fine.

Is this familiar to anyone?

[Robin W]

if you are happy with css codes then

bbPress Styling Crib

Otherwise the bbp style pack will let you change it, and much else besides

Hi Joe,
I started using WP just recently and also am using twenty seventeen. I run into the same dilemma on how to make the pages a bit wider, especially the bbPress forums.
I am completely new to CSS coding but after scouring the forums for some solutions I found this:
1. In your dashboard click Appearance>Edit CSS
2. At the end of what’s there, on a new, line insert this code:

/* wider wrapper in large screens */

@media screen and (min-width: 48em) {
.wrap {
max-width: 1200px;
}
}

You can play with the number in front of “px” to see what fits your needs.
One caveat though is that it will widen all the pages in the theme and I don’t know how to apply this code to specific pages, and I’m sure there is a way.

The beauty of this theme is that you can put this code (or any) in the CSS editor and you see the result immediately, you don’t like it, delete the code no harm done.
Hopefully this helps.

cheers
Roman

Hi guys,
I have seen a couple of replies on this topic when google searching. However, i simply must have sub topics on a particular website forum that im building…subforums will not work.

My topic and subtopics are

Fertility> Male Infertility
………>Female Infertility

(please note there are a number of other topics, however these are just the two that need to be nested in this way)

Can someone walk me through how this can be done with bbpress?

kind regards
Adam

Thanks Robkk! This worked perfectly for me 🙂

Hello.

Is there anyway we can replace search button bbpress to font awesome?

Thanks

I am running a site with WP 4.6.3 and bbpress, as well as TinyMCEadvanced.

If I disabled tinyMCE advanced I can post with bold, italic etc.

If I enable tinyMCE advanced, all I get is HTML code like:
<span style=”color: #0000ff;”>Testing styling of forums posts.</span>

If I login in as admin this does not happen, as there is a small box which says You have the ability to post unrestricted HTML content.

How can I make it so that all users can use this? My main concern is adding different colour text.

[interactivebonnier]

following

(newest WP, newest polylang, newest bbpress) – same issue, polylang string translations works fine and are displayed in frontend where used, but bbpress content (forums, posts, comments) are all language-neutral, so same content are displayed in every “polylang-language-site”.

Does bbpress support multi-language at all, or do we miss some setting/plugin?

[corne.smit@gmail.com]

Good day

I have just insaled bbPress.
On the Lost Password page, the RESET PASSWORD button only becomes enabled when I TAB off the email field.
On the Register page, the REGISTER button only becomes enabled when I TAB off the Password field.

This doesn’t work for me.

1. How can I get the buttons to be enabled from th start?
2. Which plugin will facilitate a nice ACOUNT menu, such as on this form, where a user can do his account stuff?

[Barry]

2.6 (beta 2) is available for testing (if you haven’t already seen the announcement post) – so things are happening!
