Is there a way to allow bbpress users with the “participant” role to upload media by url only, i.e. disable the media library. I want my users to be able to put pictures into their post that are hosted other places without having to figure codes and such.

Thank you!

Hi! This is for a client’s site, which is budpubs.com. We’re using WordPress 4.4.3 (his theme isn’t quite compatible with the latest version of WordPress, and the theme dev is no longer supporting the theme..=P) and the latest version of bbPress.

For some reason, the gravatar images aren’t showing within the forum. I tried looking for a thread that addressed this before creating my own, but I couldn’t really find anything specific to my problem. Has anyone here come across something like this before? Thanks!

I am using a plugin to bring back the tinymce visual editor in bbpress. I want my users to be able to upload images, but I would like to be able to limit the file size allowed without limiting the file size on my admin side of things outside of bbpress. I can’t seem to be able to find such a setting to limit media size, is there anything I can do?

Thank you!

Hi guys, I would like to remove the edit profile option from the bbpress menu, can someone tell me how to do this? it’s a duplicate & a little confusing for more users. You can see a screenshot of it here

I’m currently developing a WP (4.5.2) site with the bbPress plug-in (2.5.9).

I have various standard WP pages and posts (e.g. About (slug: about) and Help (slug: help)) on the site.

The forum runs under the forums root slug.

When creating a forum or topic, for example, whose slug is the same as that of an existing page, trying to display that forum/topic fails with a 404 error.

For example, creating a forum with the name “About” (slug: about) leads to the (correct) bbPress URL /forums/forum/about/. However, trying to display that forum at that specific URL fails with a 404 error, apparently because a page with the URL/slug /about/ already exists for a WP page.

This only seems to happen when a page/post/etc. exists that has such a “conflicting” slug, which is still puzzling because the bbPress forum has its own root slug/URL path /forums/, which should prevent such conflicts.

Renaming the forum slug manually to something like aboutx fixes the issue, and the forum is then accessible just fine under /forums/forum/aboutx/. (This is obviously not a solution, but illustrates that there must be some sort of slug conflict.)

1. Is this a known issue, or what could the problem be?
2. Alternatively, is there a way to automatically append a (e.g. random) string to any bbPress forum/topic/post slug to prevent something like this?

I get this error when I try to view new forum pages…

Fatal error: Class ‘WP_Post’ not found in /home/xxxxxxxxxxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/theme-compat.php on line 375

Do I need to change theme or settings?

Many thanks for any help –

Two weeks ago I installed bbPress, there was the “forum” tag in the admin dashboard. I uninstalled it soon after I installed as I did not have any use back then.

But today when I reinstalled a few times, the “forum” tag did not appear at admin dashboard. Neither did the introduction page of bbPress that has the “go to settings” link appeared.

I tried on my other website and it has no problem. Please advice how to get the normal installation running.

Both are running on the latest wordpress.org version.

I recently went through our forum and removed all the old and non required topics but after I did that the counters on the forums were all wrong. I went tot he recount feature until the tools section and rant he options to recounts and recalculate each forum and topic which all worked fine.

Now when anyone who is a participant (which is everyone except the admin on my site) tried to view the forums, they get no topics returned. When I login as admin I can see them all. I have changed everyone to be KeyMaster and now they can see them again.

Any idea what might have happened ? I’ve checked permissions and can see Participant is in there as can view, as is subscriber. Using BBPress 2.5.9 and WordPress 4.5.2 BBPress was installed well over a year ago and has been upgraded with each update when the plugins page tells me to.

website is http://www.greenbankarchers.com but forum is a private members only area behind wordpress.

Hello,

I have followed the directions found here:

http://www.itsupportforum.net/topic/how-to-change-the-freshness-date-time-to-the-name-of-the-last-topic-in-bbpress/ to change the “freshness” from a date, to a topic title. I am happy with this, BUT… I am still having two issues.

1.) The freshness is still showing after the topic title example “1 month ago ____”
2.) The “Freshness title is still showing and I would like to re-name it to something else such as “Latest,” but instead re-name “Topics” to “Latest” to keep formatting correct.
3.) I would like to remove the remaining titles (such as “Posts,” & “Freshness”from the forum page as well, since they are not being used here.

If anyone could help me accomplish this I would be very thankful!

Example of our forum is here:

Thank you!

Thanks, sounds like the second may be a GD BBPress Toolbox issue, too.

Hi,
I have a issue regarding the Visual Editor within the forum page. I would like the visual editor within the forum edit page to be enabled so that I can give a image/text introduction to the forum. I have tried to install suggested plugins like “TinyMCE Advanced” and others but none of them directly solve the problem I am having. Example of what I am looking for:

What I would like to be on the page:
http://postimg.org/image/y52i13nup/

Wordpress: Version 4.5.2 running Untold Stories theme.
bbPress: Version 2.5.9
website forum page: http://www.curlswithattitude.com/forums/introductions

For the first error, contact the GD bbPress Toolbox plugin support team.

For the second error, read this https://codex.bbpress.org/bbp_setup_current_user/was-called-incorrectly/

I’m getting undefined variables when logged in as the administrator, especially when trying to create menus.

WP: 4.5.2 BBP: 2.5.9.6017 Theme: TwentySixteen OS: Centos 7

Some of the messages flash across the screen too fast for me to read them, but here’s one:

Notice: Undefined variable: nav_menu_selected_id in /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/gd-bbpress-toolbox/forms/meta/navmenu_extras.php on line 75

Hi all.

I’ve set bbpress up to show topic descriptions, which looks great. But for consistency, I’d like to be able to show the excerpt of each topic under it’s title on the topic-list template.

Hope this is possible.

Thanks

Hi, I’m creating a forum where people can post links to their Twitch streams for other users to rate. I want to add specific input fields, such as Embed Code, games streamed, active times, etc, that the user can fill in to populate the post. Is there a way to do this?

Also, is it possible to add another field to the main list of topics, other than Voices, Posts, and Freshness? I have a good rating plugin installed, and I have it integrated with bbPress to allow and show ratings inside the topic. But I’d like users to be able to see and sort topics by rating.

Thanks in advance!

You were right … and the winner is “Instant Articles for WP” 🙂 thought that was caused by bbpress but further testing also saw troubles with Envira and ACF … seems that all custom post” have problems now 🙂

[Robin W]

suggest you try re-installing

or

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.

[Robin W]

yes, but it is a very old version and not supported use 1.2

The topic tags are indexed by Google for my bbpress forum, i tried Yoast, All in one seo to block topic tags and there is no luck.

is there any plugin to do the task?

thank you in advance

[Robin W]

bbpress has various widgets and well as shortcodes, so you can call it from pages, posts and sidebars

check out the documentation !

Hi everyone,

I’m developing a website which is using WP as content manager system, the front-end is a custom one developed by me though. Due to the idea of having a forum, I’ve installed bbPress plugin in order to reach it through my front-end.

Before I start in retrieving all the data through the database, I’m wondering if there’s a way to call de bbPress plugin as widget or whatever to “embed” it in my front-end.
Do you know if it’s possible?

Thanks!!

I’ve been communicating with data migration services about moving my Drupal 6 Advanced Forum to bbPress, but now it seems I might have to do it myself. But my knowledge of PHP is limited. Is this script working at this point, and, if so, how exactly would I use it to do the migration? Thanks.
