Hi Stephen. I then set up a new WordPress install with only the bbPress 2.6 alpha plugin installed and did my import. Everything seems fine and the forums work great except for the login. I’ve tested this with a user I can log in to the PHPBB site with but it won’t let me in to the WP site at all. I can see the user in the WP Users list and it has the same details (username/email) as in the PHPBB forum.

Problem 1:
Using builtin importer, whole system is being imported by phpbb3. Anonymous users who does not have any accounts are allowed for posting but they are showing up as anonymous, in the system.
I have collected the usernames_of_the_visitors from posts_from_current_users and created those users, using a query:

INSERT INTO wp_current_visitors (using_the_login)
    SELECT DISTINCT usernames_of_the_visitors
    FROM posts_from_current_users

Step 2:
I am creating multiple tables (in this case:3), some of the code is:

SELECT ID FROM wp_current_visitors 
INSERT INTO current_live_posts(author_current_posts)
WHERE current_live_posts(post_time_and_date) = posts_from_current_users(posted_time)
  AND posts_from_current_users(usernames_of_the_visitors) = wp_current_visitors(using_the_login)

You can see this is not the correct way contain syntax errors. First I have to correct it. Second, I have to find a way to tell the mySQL that ID is connected with ‘using_the_login’ (see the first line). Am I right?

Please help in this regard?

Queries after up-gradation:

SELECT ID FROM wp_current_visitors
SELECT post_time FROM posts_from_current_users = post_time_and_date
SELECT post_username FROM posts_from_current_users = using_the_login

The are working in the correct way. But, I don’t know where to insert the WHERE information correctly.Only possible solution in my mind is to create sub-queries.

Problem 2:
I am installing bbpress on my own(for the first time on a client website, as an evaluation task). I am creating a simple forum, with necessary plugins for login and flow control. But, an important requirement, I am unable to configure is that client wants to create a new page for each directory page. And whenever a new page is added, he wants to add a forum page, automatically. Like, if the directory page is Directory page of militarybases – Cheyenne mountain Air Force base Colorado Springs Colorado. When, he made the page using wordpress, it’s forum page like website/forum/cheyenne-mountain-air-force-base-colorado-springs-co automatically created.

Is this possible? If yes, how will achieve this? Please don’t tell codes other than javascript and php. Please only provide the full solution, in case of others.

Thanks for the topic @fourmi 🙂

You are correct, looking at that code for forum subscriptions, if you successfully subscribe to a forum then true === $success so and then is_single() || is_page() would be true in your case the redirect should redirect to your page via get_permalink()

Could you confirm that the user IS successfully subscribed when subscribing via your forum list page please @fourmi

I tried to copy templates from bbPress theme to my child theme, but it does not work.
Maybe I have to update the css.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi,
In what version of bbPress did you import ? Note that the upcoming bbPress 2.6 has a much better support for import so this could be an option.
Have a try in a test environment…

Hi , we want to increase our forum community and traffic, which ways do you usero get more members and join into your bbpress forums?

[Pascal Casier]

Hi, I suppose you want to know how many views a certain topic has ?
Please refer to this thread that might help you: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-feature-viewhit-counts/
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
As you confirm your bbPress works fine with a standard theme, I propose that you indicate the strange behaviour on the support forum of the theme (https://wordpress.org/support/theme/hueman).

Note that you can always copy and modify the standard bbPress templates to have them work within your theme. See https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/ starting somewhere step 5.

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

That would more be a question for google I suppose. You forum is working and I can access the pages without login, so on the bbPress side it seems to be fine.
I propose to try to use the Google tools.

Pascal.

Hi,
I installed bbPress for my site which uses hueman theme.
But when I create the forums page including bbPress shortcode, the layout of the forums page is quite messy. But for another theme thentyfifteen, bbPress works fine.

This is the forums page: https://trainsova.pitt.edu/forums

Mice list of sub-forum

<?php if ( post_password_required() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘form’, ‘protected’ );?>

<!– IF NOT HAVE APASSOWORD –>
<?php else: ?>

<!– => LOOP CATEGORY –>
<?php if ( bbp_is_forum_category() && !bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>
<p>ITS A MACRO-FORUM (category)</p>
<?php include “common/forums_category.php” ?>

<!– => LOOP FORUMS –>
<?php elseif ( bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>
<p>ITS A SUB-FORUM</p>

thank you

Template hierarchy in detail

This page is a great initiative to make explained each part.. but for me still has a problem…

I can’t identify those parts in the layout… could someone do a visual scratch for elements over some “twenty” template?

I really, really appreciate 😉

Hi guys and gals,

I’ve searched up and down for this and haven’t been able to find anything.

Is it possible to set up bbPress to show the latest post/reply when you click on a thread?

Currently, if I have say 3 pages, clicking on a discussion will take me to the first page and the first post. I’d like it to take me to the latest reply in the thread when I click on the thread topic.

Possible? Thanks for any help on this!

Hi. I have just converted a PHPBB v3.1.10 to BBPress using the 2.6 alpha version. I am unsure whether the user passwords are converted or not.

In the codex https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/importing-data/import-forums/phpbb/ it says “Existing passwords are converted during the import so users can login to WordPress/bbPress as soon as the import and recounts have finished.”
However, in the importer it says “Non-bbPress passwords cannot be automatically converted. They will be converted as each user logs in.”

I don’t know if they have been converted or what is meant by “They will be converted as each user logs in.”

Can you tell me what the status of the WP User passwords is and what the users can or need to do?

Cheers

WordPress 4.6.1, bbPress 2.5.10, sorry, no link because the forum is closed

With Auto-Embed enabled, some threads won’t load at all or need as long as 20 min. to load.
I created a test thread and found the problem occurs when there are links to other threads within the forum. Although I only created three messages which all contain nothing but a link to another thread within the forum, the page has to load 250 MB of data and hundreds of www-embed-player.js. Also, more than a thousand recourses are loaded (well, one of the linked threads has lots of embedded YouTube videos).

When Auto-Embed is on bbPress shows the topic of the linked thread instead of the link, which is good. But it seems that everything from that linked thread is already loaded and I’m not even sure that if those linked threads contain links to other threads as well, that those are not loaded, too.
I’m don’t know why it is loaded, because it is (of course) not shown. If Auto-Embed is off, everything is fine.

Is there something we can do about that behavior? What we need, are YouTube and especially SoundCloud files that can be played from within the thread and links to other threads that won’t load the complete content without showing it.

Any ideas?

Guido

I can’t recall where I had found this code, fairly certain on the forums here, but here is a pastebin of the code:
http://pastebin.com/J9whPuCV

It shows category forums and then any forums beneath it, up to one level. It isn’t the entire hierarchical display but could be modified somehow, I would imagine, to show more. How I’m not sure.

You will want to place this file in your child theme in the themes/childtheme/bbpress directory; you’ll want to name the file loop-forums.php

Note: I did change the names of my forum’s columns to Topics, Posts, and Recent, for what its worth.

Hi all i’m new to bbpress. I read lot of docs but i was unable to solve this issue

I’m setting up a forum for my website, i installed bbpress, created a forum, created a page with bbpres shortcode and now i’m able to see forum root clicking on the link in menu.

I can create discussions from backend but when i try to create a new topic from frontend, logged in as admin, i got “you don’t have permission to post”.

How could it be?

[kentwest]

Usually:

– bbPress
– Connections
– Simple WordPress Membership

But as mentioned, I’ve also tried it with all but bbPress deactivated. No difference.

– Check email
– Childify Me
– Huemon Addons

have also been installed, but they’ve been deactivated for a while. I’ll try uninstalling those.

—

Okay, those three have now been uninstalled. Now I only have the following three plugins installed:

– bbPress
– Connections
– Simple WordPress Membership

and of those three, only bbPress is Activated.

No difference.

[Stephen Edgar]

If it’s taking 15 seconds to do add a reply or a topic you most definately have a plugin or theme manipulating post queries, most likely pre_get_posts filter is running in a plugin, maybe a theme.

Please disable ALL our plugins and test the speed again please.

If the speed remains the same, try switching to the Twenty Fourteen theme.

You’ll also notice here on bbpress.org it does not take 15 seconds

[kentwest]

When I first installed bbPress, I found an item in the WordPress Dashboard that said “Forums”; I clicked on that, and then on “New Forum”.

I typed in a title, and a brief blurb in the content box, and then clicked on “Publish”.

I then, in the WP Dashboard, clicked on Appearance/Menus, expanded the “Forums” category, found my newly-created forum, and added it to my menus.

Then when I load my site in a web-browser, and go to that menu item, I got a forum page where I could add entries, which result in what I posted above.

Hi, I’m pretty new to everything and I’ve been pretty much enjoying the first couple of days.
One thing that I’m trying to accomplish with bbpress is in the threaded replies section and its’ layout.

this is how a new topic currently looks – it keeps the author avatar separate from the content(this is mainly in order to maintain a decent readability-level on mobile devices)

The reply section also behaves the same until I enable threaded replies but
when threaded replies is enabled, it loses that layout(probably because of how my bbpress css is currently setup)

I would like some help to achieve the same ‘author-content-separated’ layout in the threaded replies.

I hope I have given enough detail for everyone to understand my situation 🙂
I’m currently using all the latest versions of everything.
My theme is twenty-fourteen and I am working with a child theme
