Hi,
Please I need help and it’s kind of urgent. So many people have reported that they are not able to register on the forum because they are not able to successfully set a password. They enter a username and email to register, then a link for generating a password is sent to their email. On clicking the link, they are asked to log in (not set password), which then says password incorrect, and they are prompted to “get password”. Clicking on this brings up a form for entering username and email, and another link is sent to their email, which does the same thing and the cycle continues.

Can someone help me check this out? It’s a big problem for me.

I am using WordPress 4.5.2, bbPress 2.5.9, the website is http://www.maternitynest.com

You can import the Yahoo data using PG Offline.

I have ported this data to BBpress successfully from 4 different Yahoo groups.

Cheers,

Having threaded replies enabled in Settings > forums will currently in this state of bbPress disable a topics reply pagination.

Hi bbpress,

I am getting this error message when I clicked the (RSS FEED) link on the group page? Can you tell me what is wrong with it? perhaps is there’s a file I can go download to overwrite it? If so, where and what directory I upload to?

XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
Location: https://www.mysite.com/groups/food-lover/feed/
Line Number 1, Column 2: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>

Please advise help, thanks,

Had high hopes that your fix would fix what I am seeing:

I can see posts perfectly well, but the permalinks for /topics/ /formums/ etc. is returning what looks like Archive/Search result pages – so not anything to do with bbPress.

I have made sure to empty out cache, and I have also tried to re-save the permalink settings – but nothing seems to work.

Any help to fix the issue would be greatly appreciated. Using Genesis Framework and Altitude Pro Theme

@thebrandonallen, that would be great news.

I have a vBulletin project waiting for some details to be available in bbPress for more than one year…

I really would like to integrate the whole ‘ecosystem’ on my site based on WordPress but bbPress is still light years away of what some other (even open source) forum scripts let us do.

Hope 2.6 would be “the” giant leap for bbPress.

[Brandon Allen]

Nevermind. I found the issue. This will be fixed in 2.6.

I’m trying to import a phpbb forum with about 50,000 posts into a local dev site.

It continually stalls at “Converting topics (4900-4999)”

I’m trying to follow the instructions here:

Import Troubleshooting

which say to make a copy of the db and drop all records except within the offending range and try the import again to isolate the problematic row.

Should I go into phpbb_topics or phpbb_topics_posted to try and look for the offending problem?

Once I have the right table, do I then delete the first 4899 rows that appear in the db?

I’m using the latest WordPress and have tried both bbpress 2.5.9 and 2.6alpha.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

The result being that there is some data leakage.

Yes 🙂 And I’ve seen this problem before on other platforms.

I’ll be testing out the combination of MemberPress, BuddyPress, and bbPress next week. I’m hopeful that it won’t dePress me if I run into troubles 🙂

[Brandon Allen]

It’s important that BuddyPress/bbPress is capable of protecting itself first before resorting to other 3rd-party/premium plugins.

It is important, and bbPress does protect itself, where appropriate. The forums at this link are public forums, which means that anyone can view them, logged in or not. The MemeberPress plugin is restricting these public forums to logged in users. Since it’s a premium plugin, I don’t have access to the code. My guess, since it seems to do it’s job well on the forums, is that it’s not properly applying the same logic to single topics/replies and search. The result being that there is some data leakage.

[DAM]

The issue is for all (and only) the bbpress feeds,
Thanks

[Erik D. Slater]

The remaining issues will need to be solved via the MemberPress plugin.

Not necessarily. This might work:

I haven’t had the chance to test it yet … but Jared Atchison is the author, so hopefully it should be good to go.

BBpress feeds pubDate gets translated using wordpress laguange file (wp-content/languages/IT-it.mo) if for example I manually delete “jan”,”feb”,”mar” from that file bbpress pubDate it still in english, but this is not the best fix…

[Brandon Allen]

Are you running any caching plugins? I cannot reproduce this running bbPress 2.5.9 and the TwentyFifteen theme.

[khunmax]

@Robkk: the delete bbp roles plugin run was completed PRIOR to installing BBpress.

@Brandon Allen: No, it actual link to edit a users profile.

I log in as a participant, then I click on the Keymasters avatar that appears in a Topic, then I am taken to the full profile page for the keymaster. Under the avatar are the links: Profile, Topics Started, Replies Created, Favorites, Subscriptions, and EDIT. Click on the edit link and you get access to all of the keymaster info boxes including: Name, Contact Info, About the user, Account (including email and password reset fields), User Role dropdowns, and the Update User button.

Any assistance you can offer on this is greatly appreciated. I am on a very tight deadline and haven’t slept in days trying to sort this, how can I go live with a forum site where any user can simply access (and change) the keymasters profile data by simply clicking on that person’s avatar in a topic.

Let me know if you need any screenshots or other resources.

Thank in advance for any assistance offered.

Kind Regards

Max

[Brandon Allen]

I’ve tested this, and cannot see where bbPress is translating the <pubDate>. Feeds use mysql2date() to generate the <pubDate>, and they pass false as the translate parameter. It’s been this way since feeds were introduced. Are you or your client using custom feed templates?

[kcomphlint]

According to this Trac entry, the bbp_before_get_topic_subscribe_link_parse_args function may be delayed until ver 2.7?

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2581

[Robkk]

I have just completed a full vanilla install on bbpress, including db optimize and runnning delete bbp roles plugin.

Using the delete bbp roles plugin on a fresh installation is probably what caused the issue.

[Brandon Allen]

@khunmax I think this might be the edit post/page link. Not an actual link to edit a user’s profile. If this is the case, then it shouldn’t work for any non-admin user, and even then, it won’t take you to a page to edit the profile.

If what I just said is true, this is a theme “issue.” I use quotes because it’s not really an issue with the theme, just a result of how themes are built, and how theme compatibility works in bbPress. It’s probably something we can improve on, but it’s easily fixed with a filter or by editing your theme. Let me know what kind of link, and if it actually works for non-admin users, and we’ll go from there.

Hi you guys,

I’m in the process of importing a rather large vBulletin board. It has around 50’000 topics and more than 3 million posts.

And I’ve got this one question: does bbPress write out or somehowe save topics, which it couldn’t import? So I can get a glimpse at the problem at hand why a certain vBulletin thread has not been imported?

A little more background: I’ve done a few test imports, and so far bbPress is doing a terrific job. To keep import time manageable, I modified the vBulletin converter from bbPress to skip replies, which I import with some more complex SQL queries after the bbPress importer has created users and topics.

Nearly all of my 20’000 users and 50’000 topics get imported, but some vBulletin threads do not shop up with the meta_key named _bbp_old_topic_id. I really tried to spot a pattern there, but had no luck. So I’m hoping there’s a way to gather some more information directly from the bbPress import.

I’m running bbPress 2.5.9 and WordPress 4.5.2

[Robin W]

ok, so this is with just a wp theme, and no plugins apart from bbpress?

[khunmax]

I have just completed a full vanilla install on bbpress, including db optimize and runnning delete bbp roles plugin.

I created a new forum and new users.

I switched out my GP theme for wp theme.

Still getting the same issue.

If a participant is logged in and clicks on the link to another users profile there is an edit link there.

[elainemarleyit]

I want that my Keymaster can change the bbpress roles of the users but not the wordpress role of the same users, it’s possible? The keymaster is not administrator of my wp site. i can create a new role with User Role Editor Plugin.

Hello,
I’ve just noticed that if current wp is using a language thats isn’t english, bbpress it translates his feeds pubdate into current wp language.
for example: <pubDate>mer, 08 Giu 2016 13:21:23 +0000</pubDate>
should be: <pubDate>Wed, 08 Jun 2016 13:21:23 +0000</pubDate>
by default pubDate should be always in english, as default wp feeds
Thank You

[Robin W]

ok, suspect it is a 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.
