Brand new installation. Only other plugin is RemoveHowdy.
Installed bbPress, and activated it … nothing happens.
Go to View Site, and select New -> Forum, and get this error message. Invalid post type. In a white box.

Hi,
I am using bbPress to create a forum for a customer. I use WordPress 4.6.1 and bbPress 2.5.11.
I downloaded the .mo and .po files in my language (Finnish) from this link, changed the file names into:
bbpress-fi_FI.mo and bbpress-fi_FI.po, and moved them to wp-content/languages/bbpress
Eventhough my wordpress site language is Finnish and I have those mo and po file in the folder, the bbpress forum is still in English.

Hi there,

I want to ask if I set a user in WordPress as author and as moderator in bbpress forum, if is correctly to say that he will be able to edit topics and replies of others user?

[vevans2]

Hello,

I am using the shortcode to display a single topic. When a user tries to reply to a reply to the topic, they are directed to the bottom of the page.

I want to nest replies to topics, so that users can respond directly to another user’s response. Is this possible?

I tried the js file revision suggest here but it did not create the desired effect (replying to a user’s reply is still not possible, only replies to the topic).

Thank you for the help.
Valerie

Hello everyone,
I have a backup of vanilla forum sql 5GB, I would like to import it in my wordpress site, I am trying to use import by bbPress, but without success, maybe the file is too large.

Unfortunately the server as OVH does not allow you to edit the php.ini or the phpmyadmin configurations.

How i can solve it?

[Robin W]

try either :

bbPress Styling Crib

or use my style pack plugin

I activated topic and reply subscriptions today, and the very first email I got was a bounce. I had written a response to someone else’s thread, and apparently, instead of sending it from my usual sending address (as specified in PostMAN SMTP: mail@domain.org) to my admin address (as specified in my profile: m@domain.org), it was sent from and to (!) this weird address: noreply@sudomain.domain.org (case is bbpress on one subdomain site of a MS network). Since I do not receive emails adressed to my subdomain, it was bounced to mail@domain.org.

Using this noreply@ does not make any sense to me, neither for sender, nor for recipient. Can anyone help? bbpress does not allow me to set a sending address, it just defined and used it. That is not good, since my SMTP plugin must have the last word in this. We all know that sending emails via PHPmailer/webserver (default WP behaviour) is unprofessional. And anyway, to send a notification to anywhere else than my profile email does not make sense. This looks very much like a bug, doesn’t it?

WP 4.6.1 (MS install w/subdomains), bbpress 2.5.11, PostMan SMTP 1.7.2, ~40 other plugins

Excerpt from PostMan SMTP’s log (with EDITS):

X-Mailer: Postman SMTP 1.7.2 for WordPress (https://wordpress.org/plugins/postman-smtp/)
From: SITE NAME <noreply@de.DOMAIN.org>
Sender: mail@DOMAIN.org
To: noreply@de.DOMAIN.org

Hi, I am not an expert so I ask you this question.

I need to increase font-size in bbpress forum in my wordpress site. I installed the plugin Simple Custom Css and add this code

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content {
    font-size: 14px;
}

Nothing happened. Then I changed adding a line

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content {
  display: list-item !important;
    font-size: 14px;
}

Now it works, in the Staging Copy of the site. Can you confirm this is a correct code? Or this code can generate any unexpected issue somewhere?

Thanks!

Hi,

I have 2 forums one active and 300+ members and on with just 20+ members both on xenforo.

We want to move to bbpress.
I migrated the small forum first.I followed all the documentation to import the xenforo forum.Everything went through fine but all the members got tons of notifications once the migration was complete.

Before trying to migrate the larger forum I want to know if there is a way to turn off the notifications during this process.

Regards,
Charlene

Hello guys,
I have already taken the necessary steps to leave the full width of the forum across the screen, but even after putting bbpress.php inside my child theme, the space between of the sidebar and the forum is not in full width

i need help pls

[mychelle.blake]

Hi, I haven’t downloaded BBPress yet but I had one question about the forum capability that I couldn’t find an answer to. We will be using BBPress as forum for an LMS (LearnDash). Will students be able to reply by/receive posts by email, or will they have to go to the forum to read and respond to posts?

Thanks for the info!

[shamr0ck79]

Ok please pardon the dumb question as i am new to bbpress. Ok so i have created a site and have created a page called “forum”. I am using the ultimatum theme framework and i am also using beaverbuilder as a page builder. So i made the layout like a wanted it and added the “[bbp-forum-index]” shortcode. The problem is when you click on a forum it goes to the topic list page and the whole template i was using is gone. Is there a quick fix to this? any help would be greatly appreciated! the page in topic was as follows!

Forum

[vizcano]

i don’t know how to explain this because i don’t know the name of the words in English

The attributes of the topic give me an error only when selecting “destacado” the post get out of the visible area of the page. i made an image to explain my problem better.

thanks

I just installed bbPress and am having an issue. I’ve created 6 forums. I can post topics in a forum I select. The problem is that when I select any forum, I see every topic from every forum listed.

What I would like is to see ONLY the topics that are in the forum I select. Screen shots attached.

Exhibit A:

This is a view of the forums I created. Notice that there is one topic in ‘The Rules’ and one topic in ‘The Trolls’.

Exhibit B:

Now when I select the ‘Off Topic’ forum, where no topics are posted yet, I see the topics from both the other forums listed.

I don’t want that at all. I only want to see the topics that are listed in the forum I select, not all of them no matter what. That defeats the entire purpose of having different forums to post in to begin with.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi there,

sorry for posting to a 3 years old thread, but I’m about to do the same, importing mm_forum into bbpress.

Any news if anyone ever progressed on this task? Did anyone do a succesful migration from mm_forum?

[mestregd]

Hi everyone, I’m sorry if I’m doing something wrong, I’m very new to the subject, and especially in wordpress architecture, I use bbpress, and I’m having a hard time researching 2 days to fix this and I’m not successful.
I need the information below the avatar to be centered below the avatar, because they are out of sync as the image shows:

Hello! How I can add captcha to bbpress ? I don’t find information about it
How I can add google captcha and I want add my own bbcode and assign button in editor.
I don’t know how can add my own profile pages for users too 🙁

When I can read about it ?

[Robin W]

Can’t immediately see any issue.

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

[POS2012]

I have a WP site , and I installed bbPress and BuddyPress in 2012. It worked great. Then the project got cold, and I now want to start it up again.

However, to keep WP healthy I have updated it version for version. Now it is 4.6.1, and I have bbPress 2.5.11 and BuddyPress 2.7.2

I can not get access to bbPress’ settings.

I can access wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bb-forums-setup and then can click “cofigure bbPress”, but the popup loads a blank page.

I remember that the first time I set it up I had access to a lot of settings, but now I can not access anything.

Where do I go from here? What is the best way to get access again?

[mikehaceman]

Any ideas? Am I the only one moving smf to bbpress?

[Chad R. Schulz]

There’s contradictory information inside these forums about whether it’s possible to have front-end editing for a forum in bbpress.

Within the code there’s obviously support (or once was). However, every attempt to access front-end editing using a /forum/sample-forum/edit url results in a 404.

Older posts here indicate this used to work. Yet, some more current posts state that front-end editing for forums is not yet(?) possible (only topics and replies).

What information is correct? Is front-end forum editing still possible in core as default or has it (for some reason) been deactivated? And if it is still an option what things could I check for why I’m getting a 404 instead of the form-forum.php template?

Thanks for any help,
Chad

After removing almost half of the Drupal 6 spam and blocked uses, I still have over 250K users to import to WP/bbPress.

I run a prior test import for the topics, and it seemed to run fine. But importing users one at a time hangs after every ~one hundred users. I have to manually click stop and start at the Converter Admin page every few minutes. If I can’t find other solutions, I might want to install a Browser addon to click stop and start for me every 3 minutes when I’m away. Otherwise, I’m at 2500 users now and I still have 247K users to go! It won’t finish for weeks.

Suggestions? Thanks.

FYI: In contrary to above, bbPress can import from remote database. But must use Hostname:Port in the converter admin, instead of hostname and port in separate input form fields.

I’m able to use a remote MySql server as import source.
Details please see a minor bug or enhancement that I just created:
BBpress import from remote database hostname:port config
