The strange part – once I install “bbPress Notify (No-Spam)”

Notification works but only for the Admin

[hanifascraps]

Hi there,

I’m using Bbpress as a forum in my website and I’m link it very much. So thank you very much for sharing this.

But I would like to share what I found today.

Today I found a “Bug” in bbPress that will ask if the tema of bbPress could think on a resolution for the next release.

The problem is if we activate the “replying threading” the the replies stop making pagination. The page will be a continuous one.
But if you deactivate the “replying threadin” then you have the pagination of the replies.
Can you making to have the both possibilites?

Kind Regards,

I’d like to hide/remove the “right now in forums” widget from the dashboard. There are some code snippets online but none seem to work.

Can anyone help?

[Robin W]

Thanks for posting back

To remove the indent and the left hand border,
put the following into the custom css tab of the plugin

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list {
  border-left: none;
  padding-left: 0px;
}

If you still want the border, then just

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list {
  padding-left: 0px;
}

I want users who visit the site to create a topic without logging into bbPress form.
I need to create a subject form on the question page I created on my site. Can you help me?

I’m sorry for my bad english.

[Robin W]

suggest you go back to basics and try :

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.

Hi there,

I use myMail + Amazon SES to send all the emails on my website.

All the system emails works, BuddyPress emails works. However, bbPress email notifications don’t work.

I already know that the problem with the myMail settings:
https://gyazo.com/52d3e8bc99e159018599fee3cdb5887f

When I use “Do not use MyMail for outgoing WordPress mails” everything works. But I can’t use this setting, because all the emails became ugly and with different design (Buddypress has it’s own design, WooCommerce has it’s own, bbPress has no design at all).

Therefore, I have to use “Use MyMail for all outgoing WordPress mails” in the myMail to have unified emails. However, bbPress emails don’t work as I said.

Can anyone help me, please? I’m willing to pay for this.

When you have BuddyPress activated they user profiles now us e member instead of bbPress user profile URLs

WAMP always give me problems…thats why I hate it! Anyway, I suggest you upload the site to your server/hosting and then install bbPress Messages.

Take it easy, I use bbPress Message and works fine. You should upload the website because the developer can’t help you with a site in local host.

Hi

I have fresh installation of WordPress and bbPress. I have old 2.x SMF forum I would like to move across. While using “Import Forums”, when I use correct server name, user name, password and prefix “smf_” (all from smf settings.php) I am getting error message:

Repair any missing information: Continue
WordPress database error: [Unknown character set: ‘utf8mb4’]
SELECT convert(members.id_member USING “utf8mb4”) AS id_member,convert(members.passwd USING “utf8mb4”) AS passwd,convert(members.member_name USING “utf8mb4”) AS member_name,convert(members.email_address USING “utf8mb4”) AS email_address,convert(members.website_url USING “utf8mb4”) AS website_url,convert(members.date_registered USING “utf8mb4”) AS date_registered,convert(members.real_name USING “utf8mb4”) AS real_name,convert(members.aim USING “utf8mb4”) AS aim,convert(members.yim USING “utf8mb4”) AS yim,convert(members.icq USING “utf8mb4”) AS icq,convert(members.msn USING “utf8mb4”) AS msn,convert(members.signature USING “utf8mb4”) AS signature,convert(members.avatar USING “utf8mb4”) AS avatar,convert(members.location USING “utf8mb4”) AS location,convert(members.personal_text USING “utf8mb4”) AS personal_text FROM members AS members LIMIT 0, 100
No users to convertNo data to cleanStarting Conversion

Nothing seems to be working. I tried with and without any prefix, i tried converting users and not. I start FRESH every time. SMF database is NOT in utf8mb4. If i go to php admin i see Type: MyISAM and Collation: utf8_general_ci for every table.

Could you help?
THanks

Hi Pascal. I tried renaming the folder to bbpress.old and then installing the latest version of bbPress, but the admin panel still said that it was on the previous pervion of bbPress. I’d be okay with doing a proper uninstall of bbPress and then doing a clean install, but will that wipe out my bbPress database tables? I need to be able to do this without destroying my community.

[gbbgadmin]

UPDATE. NOT RESOLVED.

After repairing broken relationships the site was working as expected. Then, about 1 hour ago, a member reported that 503 errors are back on our bbPress forum. After looking at a narrower window of data, here is what we have found.

Replies are NOT being associated with their parent forum. They go into the database and even have their proper topic parent ID assigned in the post_parent column. The admin “replies” page, which becomes accessible after running “Recalculate the parent topic for each post” tool. Then, the forum for the post shows as “No Forum”.

Upon inspection of the form where users enter replies, we see this:

<input type=”hidden” name=”bbp_topic_id” id=”bbp_topic_id” value=”HIDDEN”/>
<input type=”hidden” name=”bbp_reply_to” id=”bbp_reply_to” value=”0″/>
<input type=”hidden” name=”action” id=”bbp_post_action” value=”bbp-new-reply”/>

NOTICE: we put “HIDDEN” into the value for bb_topic_id because it is not relevant here. It does show correctly. However, you will notice that the bb_reply_to is ALWAYS being set as value=”0″. There is some reason that bbPress is setting ALL replies to 0. We cannot seem to figure out why.

[Robin W]

I can only suggest that you try this on a non-wamp environment – bbpress can have issues with wamp.

Hi,

I am very new in WordPress and your help will be very welcome.
I would like to create a social network with 5 different forums.
I am not very clear what is the correct architecture to use.
As per my understanding, I need to install BuddyPress and bbPress.

What is not clear to me is do I need to create 5 groups in BuddyPress and 5 forums in bbPress and then link each forum to each group?

If not what is the correct architecture to have 5 different forums which cannot be deleted by users and also user cannot add new one.
The only thing that use can do is to add new topics to each forum where other users can reply.

Thank you

[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.

No love for this post? I’m using WordPress version 4.6.1, and I’ve received this feedback from my hosting provider regarding this issue:

I navigated to templates/default/bbpress/bbpress-templates and the file ‘bbpress-templates’ is a symbolic link to bbpress-templates:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 sopearly_admin pg1217016 17 Jul 28 18:02 bbpress-templates -> bbpress-templates

I’m not exactly certain how the symbolic link is referring itself but I’m afraid you may have to inquire with bbpress support as to why the plugin is failing with permission errors due to the file, bbpress-templates.

WordPress 4.6.1 running Divi Child Theme theme
bbpress Version 2.5.11
http://sundaysuppermovement.com/ but there is restricted access to the forums. Attached is a screenshot.

The toolbar has completely disappeared in the bbpress editor window. I have ‘post formatting’ checked under settings. This is what I see when I try to edit a topic/forum – see screenshot.

I just installed bbPress and have 2 items for the community.

1) I cannot make the Forums page full width by selecting the Buddypress no column page template. Is there something I am missing?

2) Is there a way to have several forums boxed within a category header? I’ve tried Category VS Forum when creating a forum, but the category displays as a forum anyway. Again, is there something I am missing?

Wordpress 4.4.5
bbPress 2.5.10

Hello, when I create a page and insert a shortcode (like bbp-forum-index for example), my whole page is displayed properly.

http://www.legofftechnique.com/forum

But if I get inside a topic, my footer is not displayed properly anymore. Instead, I see Visual Composer shortcodes.

http://www.legofftechnique.com/forums/forum/discussion-generale

Do I need to add something in my bbpress.php template ?

If anybody can help me, I would appreciate it very much !

Hi all

Fairly new to WordPress and the use of plugins (and the complications of interacting with themes) so please bare with me!

I am using the them Accelerate Pro theme, Version 2.5.10 of bbpress on a managed WordPress 4.6.1 site provided through godaddy. I have installed bbpress but I have come across two problems.

Firstly I do not seem to get the bbpress sidebar in widgets after installation? I have been trying to work round this by utilising Widget Logic options and codes (from a community help page) but is there anyway of getting this sidebar on my theme which would be a lot easier!

Secondly (and more importantly!) – the display of the fields on the registration page (I have create using shortcodes) gives the full width for the username and email fields but the rest (First Name (required), Last Name (required), Company/Organisation (required), Confirm Email (required), Password (required), Confirm Password (required) only display across about 1/8th of the page and look horribly bunched up. I suspect this is a problem across bbpress on my site but it is most noticeable here.
The url of the page is:

Register Forum Account

Other pages created are:

Forum

and

Restore Forum Password

I have not done much in the way of setting up forums and topics as I wanted to get it displaying correctly first.

Help! You advice and guidance is most welcomed to ease my frustration!

Kind regard

Ricky

I just set up my new forum for testing and I have found a strange issue with breadcrumbs. I am new to bbpress and could use some guideance.

I am sending people to check out the forum at http://www.themagicinpixels.com/forum-testing

When they click into a post (for example)
http://www.themagicinpixels.com/forums/topic/rondaxe-fire-tower/#post-106747

Then click the forums link in the breadcrumbs, it takes them to

Forums

How can I fix this?

First and foremost, let me go ahead and apologize if this isn’t the right place for this.

With the latest major WP update, it seems that my forums have become broken. When viewing a topic or thread, the entire site’s theme isn’t loaded, resulting in a white screen with very minimal content on it. I’ve switched out themes to see if maybe it was just a theme issue, and the results were the same.

Some information about my site:

Forum URL: http://cosplay-central.com/forum/
Wordpress Version: 4.6.1
bbPress Version: 2.5.10
Current Theme: Esteem
