I recently started using bbpress forums on my site, after which I have observed a significant traffic drop, does anyone know why this may be and if there are certain SEO settings etc I may need to tweak to fix this issue?

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks

I think I have to give up, i have reinstalled bbpress 2.5.15 and the Forum Import is again available. No matter what combinations I try I get no result just “No forums to convert” etc etc. What is really annoying is that I don’t get any error messages no matter what the settings even if they are gibberish, so I am at a loss to track down what is wrong.

I am in the process of creating a bbpress forum.

How can I remove the admin toolbar and deny dashboard access to members? Is there a setting that I am missing? If not, are there any plugins that you recommend?

Is it possible to integrate wordpress, bbpress and buddypress so that a user’s profile shows
1. wordpress posts
2. wordpress comments
3. Forum topics
4. Forum replies
5. Buddypress status updates.

How can I achieve this?
Thank you.

Has anyone successfully imported to bbpress from Xenforo?

I used 2.6 version and I was able to import posts and threads.
But quotes, user name tagging and attachments did not get imported.

1. Attachments: Since bbpress does not have attachments feature, should I install any plugin before I import?

2. Quotes:
It will be great if quoted text appear in a box with a different background color.

As shown below, quoted text appear like this ==> username, post: 23013, member: 922 wrote: quoted message.

This makes it difficult to differentiate between the quoted message and the reply. How can I fix this?

For example,

Valli, post: 23412, member: 922 wrote:
That is why I am asking how to make her eat.

Valli, you can’t make the child eat by force. This kid already seems to have some strong negative association with food. If the mother comes to school and force feeds her it is only going to make it even harder.

Valli, post: 23412, member: 922 wrote:
It is too long to eat only chips and juice.

You are correct, Valli!
Valli, post: 23013, member: 922 wrote:
If someone feed her food from her lunchbox she cries too much.

I think this is serious. You have to talk to the parents about it.
[USER=15]Samvaad[/USER], do you agree?

3. Username: As seen above, username is also showing up like this.

Thanks.

To clarify my previous comment: when I install bbpress 2.6 the forum import tool is no longer available.

Hello,

I am in great need for a button that will unsubscribe a user from receiving all bbpress and buddypress emails. How can I add a button like this into my website?

This is because in the United States, the Can-Spam Act of 2003 requires that a user only needs to visit one webpage to stop receiving all commercial emails.

Thanks,
David

I am having trouble importing from SimplePress to bbpress. I’m not sure what the table prefix is supposed to be. I tried wp_ and that didn’t import anything. I tried wp_sf (I think that is the beginning of tables for SimplePress but get this error

Repair any missing information: Continue
WordPress database error: [Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes]
CREATE TABLE wpzu_bbp_converter_translator ( meta_id mediumint(8) unsigned not null auto_increment, value_type varchar(25) null, value_id bigint(20) unsigned not null default ‘0’, meta_key varchar(255) null, meta_value varchar(255) null, PRIMARY KEY (meta_id), KEY value_id (value_id), KEY meta_join (meta_key(191), meta_value(191)) ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci;

Is there anything I can do to get this import done?

Hello everyone!

I created a site called Purposeshare.com, which utilizes both bbpress and buddypress. Check it out! If you like the design or have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to leave a reply below.

Special thanks to Robin Wilson for his awesome plugin “bbp style pack” and for his help on problems I had within the support forums a while back 🙂

it is your theme doing this

it sets a css rule

.entry-content {
width: 71.4286%;
}

and considers bbpress to be entry content.

you could try setting this to 100% – it will work for the forums page, but you’d need to check that it doesn’t upset another part of the site

it looks like you have child theme configurator that will let you have custom css, so put this in it

.entry-content {
  width: 100%;
}

if that doesn’t work try

.entry-content {
  width: 100% !important;
}

come back and let us know

[Robin W]

bbpress has its own permissions – you need to configure the bbpress role

if you go into

dashboard>users>all users and edit a user you will find their forum role near the bottom. If you don’t want them to create topics and replies, then set it to spectator

if you want the default to be spectator, then go to

dashboard>settings>forum>auto role and set this to what you want

Hello,

I bought the Woffice theme version 2.2 with the installation of bbPress and buddyPress when configuring the right. I noticed that i could not disable the right to create a topic in the groupe forum for subscribers section ( this does not work, even with the user role editor plugin installation). i come back to you to guide and advise me in order to find a solution.

Thank you.

Version 4.7 | Unyson 2.6.10 | Woffice 2.2.0 | bbPress 2.5.12 | BuddyPress 2.7.4

your theme is doing this

it doesn’t recognise this as a page, so is allowing for a sidebar.

go to

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

and look at item 3, and tell me what method you are using. If not Method 2, then try this

Hi,

I want to use bbPress for a forum on a site running WordPress 4.7 with the 2016 theme. I have a problem with the space that is (not) used by the forums: there is unused white space to the left of anything created by bbPress.

It can be seen here: Forums
If you compare this to e.g. this page, you can see the unused space.

This happens wether I use the sidebar or not. I don’t know what causes this, but maybe anyone can help?

[Robin W]

ah – ok, suggest you post on their support site

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gd-bbpress-tools

[senatorman]

ooh i see,

i use the plugin for the signature
GD bbPress Tools

[Robin W]

by default bbpress adds nofollow to links in content (and elsewhere – wouldn’t swear it was everything, but seems to be!)

[Laura N]

I want that all the links in my bbpress will be no follow. Is it possible? Or the links more important. Thank you!

Hello:

I have created a log in page but I tested it myself and I logged out. But though I set up the recommended bbPress code for log in, there is no option to log in. When I logged out, I still got this message: “You are already logged in.”

I can’t create a registration form, in spite of creating one with the recommended bbPress shortcode.

Without being able to log in our log out, or register, I can’t invite anyone to my forum.

Sigh.

[King-Nothing]

How can I remove the text “BBpress Forum” in my menu? There is no option for it in the menu, and I haven`t found anything useful when Googleing…

Hello,

I’m moving to a new WordPress installation.

However, unfortunately I cannot just export my database. I’m on a host that has a very customized WordPress (I’m with Rainmaker, in case you’ve heard of them). I’m moving to a self-hosted WordPress where I have complete access to the database.

I cannot install any plugins on the old host.

I tried exporting the forums, topics, and replies. But, they are left without being associated to one another.

I’m not sure if it’ll change anything if I export it all at once. There’s a lot of other content, so I wanted to try to do it on its own.

What’s the best way to export my bbpress data so I can import it to my new WordPress installation?

Thanks for your help.

While this post is old, I came across this issue when using XAMPP and found the solution here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/error-are-you-sure-you-wanted-to-do-that-3/#post-142468. Once I updated my theme’s function.php file with the suggested method, all worked correctly for my local XAMPP website instance.

BTW, before adding the fix above, when attempting to create a topic or reply, I did not see any error message, in fact no message at all. The page simply reloaded and left the pending topic or reply text sitting inertly on the screen in front of me…

No idea what a rest API is , but bbpress uses wordpress’s register and login processes, so you can simply use those

I googled

wordpress rest api login

and got

http://v2.wp-api.org/guide/authentication/

but there’s a whole site there

[Wilbur]

I am developing an android app for my wordpress forum. Please is there any way I can create new users and login old ones programmatically? Maybe a rest API or something.

Please you can show the code in php or any language of your choice.

Update WordPress to 4.7 and bbpress to latest 2.5.12.
Also share your screenshot for others to figure out what is going on.
