Hmm, strange indeed, I’ve not tried Jetpack with an Anonymous forum.

If you want to track this down further creating a ticket on our bug tracking site with some detailed information on how your site is setup, what versions and what features you have enabled of WordPress, bbPress, Jetpack etc and how we’d recreate/simulate your setup.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket#ticket

Also if you find just a Jetpack issue you can create a ticket for that here:

I’m trying to import my forums data a new site – bbpress to bbpress – about 30 categories, 300 forums, 400 topics and 800 replies. I seem to be able to import forums, topics and replies nicely but nothing is connected. When I try to use the forum repair tools under tools > forums it will make all my reply screen go blank…nothing at all.

* note – I noticed that without using the repair tools I could go and open each topic or reply and resave them and then it would be connected…

bbPress compatible with PHP 7 and HHVM

The warnings you see are from a 3rd party library, these issues would only affect you if you are importing forums from another forum software package.

You can see our Travis CI PHP 7 tests here: https://travis-ci.org/ntwb/bbPress/jobs/147321446
(We don’t have 100% code coverage yet but we are progressing nicely)

Does it work if you use the dropdown from the bottom of the list instead?

It should, theres a bug with thats been fixed for this in the next bbPress release 🙂

Yep, I noticed the same thing and am searching for a solution as well.

Here is the thread with the answer

Hi I was wondering if anyone can help me please.

I have set up a private forum on our work-hosted instance which is running wordpress 4.5.3 and bbpress 2.5.10 and am manually adding forum users.

Until recently I was able to assign forum roles via the Users > All Users menu on left hand side. However, now when I select a forum member and select a forum role from the drop down top menu and press apply the forum role column remains the same.

This error happens when I try to edit an existing forum user e.g. to alter them from participant to moderator after hitting and also when I am manually trying to assign forum roles to new members.

As such I am unable to manage any of the forum user roles now. Does anyone have any suggestions?

[smithcreate]

I’m about to launch a website for a club which will use bbPress as their online forum. Is there a way I can add current club members to WordPress and assign their roles before I launch the website? My thought is that the site will generate emails to these users, but the link will go to localhost. I’m trying to minimize downtime with the site launch. My only thoughts are to add users after the website is launched, which will then link to the production URL. Any thoughts or tutorials on this?

Hello,

I ran the PHP 7 Compatibility test against bbPress with the following results. Be nice if they could be fixed so I can use bbPress with PHP 7.

Hello,

I use WPML for a french/english website and bbPress 2.5.10 on a WordPress 4.5.3

I would have a single forum but have the ability to switch between the two languages. Is it possible ? How ?

Thanks.

Good morning,

I am new to BBPress, and would like ot install it on my (free) WordPress site, noumen.wordpress.com (which is a private site).

Wordpress do not allow plugins on their free sites for the dubious reason that your plugin might be vulnerable. Is there any way to install a forum on my site?

Otherwise, I will have to devize my own method of running a forum, albeit one with a lot less functionality than yours.

If you have only bbPress, you could use my bbP Toolkit plugin to ‘protect’ forums so only e.g. admins can create topics.
If you have BuddyPress groups, you better ask on buddypress.org/support if someone can help. If they indicate a possibility there, please post it back here for others.
Thanks,
Pascal.

[Stephen Edgar]

Yes, sorry, “Recalculate the position of each reply” is the one I meant, don’t worry about running it. 1) It will take forever and 2) bbPress 1.x never supported “threaded replies” which is what its trying to repair.

[Pascal Casier]

For uploading files, the 3 products I know of are ‘GD bbpress Attachments’, ‘Image Upload for BBPress’ and ‘bbPress Multi Image Uploader’. Have a look if it would fit your needs.

If you use BuddyPress as well, then there is also ‘BuddyPress Forum Editor’.

Pascal.

[Robin W]

This is an issue with your membership plugin, not bbpress, the ‘manage members’ panel you show is not part of bbpress

[pcpro178]

Another reason: bbPress requires too much coding if you want any customization. That, coupled with what is still lackluster documentation, means that it’s not for web noobs or the faint of heart.

Hello,

I am very new to bbPress. I have a few basic questions:
1. To simplify my question, suppose I create page A, B, C, D. For each separate page, I create forum A, B, C, D. When creating the forums, bbPress creates a page for each forum, let’s call them page FA, FB, FC, and FD. My goal is to add a shortcode for forum A to page A such that whenever a user submit a question, it will stay on page A instead of getting forwarded to page FA. The same goes for page B, C, and D. Is it possible to do this? I create these pages and forums, but everytime I submit a question or subscribe to the forum, the site brings me to page FA instead of letting me stay on page A.

2. Is it possible to change the front end of the text editor? here we have “b i link b-quote del img ul ol li code close tags”. For general user, they will be more familiar with more common buttons like Bold, Italic, Underline, a button to attach image, a button to add symbols, etc.

wordpress version: 4.5.3
bbPress version: 2.5.10

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Robkk,

Thanks for the CSS code. Your code has solved this problem for me

Hi Pascal,

Thanks for your replies. Using the CSS code mentioned in the below post has solved my problem

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/shifting-forum-posts-to-the-left/

[Matoca]

I am run a very successful bbPress forum where I allow anonymous posting. I have never seen this error before so I am a bit confused. About a week ago a person who had already made a new topic returned to post a reply and was given this error message:
“Error message: your post cannot be posted right now.”

I believe the original problem may have occurred when I had a what appeared to be a problem with Jetpack. I disabled Jetpack around midnight several weeks ago because a hiccup made all the forum content disappear. I was suspicious of Jetpack because I had just done an upgrade (and I have had other problems with it on other things). So I disabled it. I cleared my cookies, shut down the browser and then went back. The forum content had returned. I enabled Jetpack. The forum content remained fine. I noted two visitors were on the site, probably this person was one of them.

Then the next day I get an email from this anonymous user that she could no longer post a reply. I thought it was Jetpack so I disabled it again. That did not help because she complained again.

I then ran all the forum tools, one at a time. I asked her to clear her cookies and cache and then retry again, but with a DIFFERENT browser. Same error message on IE. I then asked her to try on a different computer. I don’t think she did that.

I went into the forum with myself logged out and was able to make an anonymous reply with her name and email address. So I figured her IP address was the issue, perhaps her business was blocking her from posting? I also checked my Wordfence to see if she had generated any problems in all of her visits to the website with her IP, no issues, all visits were normal.

I am now getting a report of a different person having the same issues (maybe the other visitor when I disabled Jetpack?) I have never turned Jetpack back on and I have run the forum tools. Wordfence is not showing any errors on the IP address.

I have really troubleshooted to the point of my knowledge. This user is particularly upset because they interviewed Matt Mullenweg at one point in their career and expressed alarm that WP would allow this to happen. Oh well, I can’t please everyone…

I would appreciate any help with ideas about how to troubleshoot this better. This user is still unable to post several weeks later and has to email us her messages to post.
Thank You, Matoca

Got around this by using this solution and just modified the links to be more to my liking; it is working in a child theme functions.php.

The Forums root, or Forums Index, is going to be the death of me.

Hi all —

I’m giving this topic a boost. Multiple users on our message board are reporting that their logins do not work. I’ve updated BBPress on the off chance that this was the problem.

However, I also do not understand the coding solutions suggested above. Can anyone walk me through these steps in language that a non-coder could understand? Something very simple and step-by-step is necessary.

Thank you very much.

[rmens]

Oh my, this should be in the BuddyPress and not bbPress forums. I’m sorry 😅

[uschesch]

Ironically, my gravitar appears on your bbPress site. 🙂

[uschesch]

My gravitar is wokring fine in WordPress; however, it no longer appears in the forum. Now a default image appears. Does anyone know what would have caused this issue?

Wordpress: 4.5.3
bbPress: 2.5.9-6017

Thank you.
