I wanted to introduce myself to the forum. I just registered and I have been using bbpress for about a week now! I am running WordPress 4.6.1 and bbpress 2.5.11…. I created a website and forum page @ http://www.theintrovertspeaksblog.com I would like some honest input as to the integration of bbpress into the website. I also have a question, On the lost password page it displays a blank screen with simple text box only as well as the reset password button. I temp fixed it by adding text above the box to direct the user to insert username or password. Is there a better way to do this?

Very sad to learn from yours too. Do you know of any other forum plug in that is similar to bbpress? Now I am stuck and lost.

bbPress Messages works fine… maybe there is something wrong with WAMP.

Try to buy the pro version to get faster support and better features! bbPress Messages Pro

I would like an update to this. I’m experiencing the same problem with bbpress and akismet. Are you no longer filtering forum topics through Akismet?

[Daethian]

I’ve only ran plug in updates. I have a lot and I run Buddypress. I know I can go one by one and deactivate them and try to narrow it down but until last night I had no means to do so. If I re-install the bbpress plugin will I lose my content in the forums?

I have the exact same issue. Using WP 4.6.1 with twenty sixteen theme + bbpress and no other plug-ins on a local install for testing.

I can create forums and topics. However, I cannot post any comments and keep getting the following error message: ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that?

Have tried repeated uninstall/install of both WP and BBP. Same result.

Have produced new WP site on Wamp 2.5 on my PC. I have installed bbp-messages 0.2.3.1 and already have bbpress 2.5.8 forum. WordPress 4.6.1 Sport Theme by Theme Canon Win10

THE WHOLE SITE and forum IS WORKING FINE, but When I try to use bbp-messages Lite, it returns the following:

FORBIDDEN: you don’t have permission to access wordpress/members1/http:/localhost/wordpress/members1/ on this server. Apache/2.4.9 (Win64) PHP/5.5.12 Server at localhost Port 80.

Would be very grateful for any advice as I am ready to publish this web – this my first WP site!

If it were our host, it should happen to more than just one page out of hundreds of thousands of pages. We are only getting a 502 error on this page:

https://bitbillions.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply

All other functions of BBPress work perfectly and all other pages of our site work perfectly. It is like something is breaking the php when that page is trying to load.

Hello everyone

I am in need for help. I have downloaded bbpress plugin version 2.5.11 and bbpress WPTweak version 1.3.1 to create a forum my webpage. Everything went smoothly until I decided to reply to the post I created in my forum. I tried to submit the reply, but an error pops up ” ARE YOU SURE YOU WANTED TO DO THAT”. I really don’t know how to solve the problem.

Hi Buddies!

I checked out the “Layout and functionality” page, and I found that I can add Social Media Fields to bbPress through this function:

function add_extra_contactmethod( $contactmethods ) {
// Add new ones
$contactmethods['twitter'] = 'Twitter';
$contactmethods['facebook'] = 'Facebook';
$contactmethods['googleplus'] = 'Google Plus';
$contactmethods['youtube'] = 'Youtube';
  
// remove unwanted
unset($contactmethods['aim']);
unset($contactmethods['jabber']);
unset($contactmethods['yim']);
  
return $contactmethods;
}
add_filter('user_contactmethods', 'add_extra_contactmethod');

I wonder if there is a way to make them visible. I mean if I add my Facebook account could bbPress show it on the public profile with a Facebook Icon?

And also show them in users topics and replies posted?

Any advice, thanks!

Hi contemplate,

Can you make a skimmed down version of your solution for people who have ONLY bbpress?

function bbp_buddypress_add_notification_custom( $reply_id = 0, $topic_id = 0, $forum_id = 0, $anonymous_data = false, $author_id = 0, $is_edit = false, $reply_to = 0 ) {

	// Bail if somehow this is hooked to an edit action
	if ( !empty( $is_edit ) ) {
		return;
	}

	// Get autohr information
	$topic_author_id   = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id );
	$secondary_item_id = $author_id;

}
remove_action( 'bbp_new_reply', 'bbp_buddypress_add_notification', 10 );
add_action( 'bbp_new_reply', 'bbp_buddypress_add_notification_custom', 10, 7 );

This plugin is even better for image uploads, imho 🙂

At the top, and at the bottom of the users page is the ability to change a users role, there is a bug that is fixed for bbPress 2.6 but in 2.5.x if you use the top dropdown to change users roles it won’t work, it should work using the bottom dropdown 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

You’d need to write or have written on your behalf a custom plugin for this functionality, bbPress doesn’t support this “out of the box”

[johnskennedy]

Hi,
Since my last login I am unable to change the forum user role of any of my members from the user’s tab in the dashboard. I select the user and the role and press change and nothing happens.

no idea why it is not in core, but this I think adds that functionality

Thank you Robin for your response. It’s much appreciated. I actually had already tried that route exactly as you have described plus I probably didn’t make my question clear on the private part.

Here is the link to my test page of forums – http://imaginationfoundry.com/forumhome/

I made “Pasteboard Heaven” a category and then packet of fun with PH its parent. Even though I chose Alternate on BPQ my site is creating an indent instead of bringing it down one notch on its on line.

Regarding the private portion I meant I didn’t want the private groups to display on my main forum index page.

Any thoughts on why my bbpress is creating an indent?

Any thoughts on how to hide th private groups from displaying on my forum page?

Thank you Robin or any others.

[Robin W]

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

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

Hi,

How do I get the topics and reply on my bbpress forum? I got the main “forums” page to display full width using the “full width template” but everything else is still got the sidebar.

Please help!

here is my website forums http://www.iappadapt.com/community/

[imthinking]

I’m a solid 7.5 out of 10 on WP but 100% new to BBpress.

I plan on having about 15 categories with some 50 forums for each category on my site. The current default display isn’t easy to follow so I’m attempting to find a way to easily change the layout on the forum index display page.

However, I don’t want to show all of the forums as some are private to groups etc.

I’m looking to achieve this look on this page: http://theme-sphere.com/smart-mag/forums/

I understand CSS is involved here but I’m looking for a get me going fix.

How can I list multiple forum titles on one page. When I use the code [bbp-single-forum id=2733] and then use it again to show a different forum it will only show the first one.

Is this not possible with shortcode?

Could I create a graphic bar and separate groups of forum titles like in the page I linked to?

Thank you for whoever guides in the path of rest as I have exhausted these forums in an attempt to answer these questions.

🙂
