I haven’t tested this lately, but you could export then import 1 forum at a time using this plugin. This plugin might only import topics that are not closed, and it may autosubscribe topic authors to topics, and maybe auto favorite too.

https://github.com/pippinsplugins/bbPress-Export-and-Import

I recommend testing it out on a localhost installation.

This might be by design.

The ‘problem’ is that every user that has started or replied to a topic gets a notification everytime someones replies, i.e. 10 replies gets everyone 10 e-mails (even your own replies, which shouldn’t get you a notification).

I am using the latest versions of bbpress and buddypress. I have looked through admin parts of both bbpress and buddypress, but haven’t been able to change it to something “smarter”. It seems like I can turn all notifications from replies on or off, but nothing in between. Is this how it is?

You are using Robin’s Private Groups plugin with BuddyPress, and using BuddyPress’ Group functionality right?? And this issue only seems to occur only for you, or users with similar roles??

Have you tried the plugin and cache troubleshooting listed on this page.

For the submit button you can do something like this.

#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form button {
  font-size: 20px !important;
}

Hi!

I am very new to bbpress and i’m trying to set it up on my site.

I have created a bbpress forum page where i display shortcodes. The shortcode for the search shows up, but it won’t find any topic.

Anyone has an idea of what i’m doing wrong?

Thanks!

Hello I have a website which relies on user roles such as administrator to show certain content. I have installed BBPress which seems to break my user roles for example all Administrators become Keymasters also which is fine but if I run a query such as the code below it evaluates to false.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

<?php
         if (is_user_logged_in() ) { 

         $user_ID = get_current_user_id();
         $user_info = get_userdata($user_ID);
         if(isset($user_info->roles) && implode(', ', $user_info->roles) == 'administrator') { ?>;
         <?php } >;

I guess bbPress does not show the revisions for replies in the backend like I thought, I guess only topics then??

Use this php code snippet to enable the metabox for revisions, add it to your functions,php file in your child theme or use a plugin like functionality.

I think after 2 edits it will show up I think.

function rkk_add_revision_support_for_replies() {
  add_post_type_support( 'reply', 'revisions' );
}
add_action( 'init', 'rkk_add_revision_support_for_replies' );

[Robkk]

Technically it is not an issue, as the devs made it that way for now.

But maybe follow this https://wpup.co/bbpress-threaded-nested-replies-with-paging/, or just go without using threaded replies for now.

[Robkk]

To see their edits you have to go to the edit post screen for the reply in the WordPress backend and then cycle through the revisions as you would any other regular WordPress post.

There is a trac ticket to make this easier, like being able to cycle through the post content history with ajax.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1989

@soulkitchen

Can you link me to the exact patch you worked on??

@kineta

Create a ticket in the bbPress trac. Login using your WordPress.org/bbPress.org login credentials. Find any more bugs, please report them.

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

@rf0854

Yeah not having wp_footer(); will mess up the editor because the script is enqueued in the footer of your page.

[Robkk]

Here is the CSS you will need add it to your child themes style.css file or in a custom css plugin.

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper textarea.bbp-the-content {
  font-size: 16px;
}

[Robkk]

here when I click insert link tab – I see only topics and replies under “Link to existing content”

When you type bbPress in the search bar to look for existing content on this site, you will see the sites blog posts pop up too.

I might create a ticket for removing that search bar entirely, its really not useful for participants in a forum, more of a blog post seo thing.

Hi there,

Actually, I had ultimate member installed and it was fine, then added bbpress and this issue came up. I added the extension hoping it would help, but without luck. In other words, the conflict exists whether or not the extension is installed.

Thanks,

[Robkk]

This is caused by some styles from your theme that is for WordPress comments reply link.

Add this custom CSS snippet to a custom css plugin or in a child themes style.css file

#bbpress-forums .reply {
  text-transform: inherit;
  font-family: inherit;
  font-size: inherit;
  letter-spacing: inherit;
}

[ropyro]

The title is pretty self explanatory. I installed the bbpress plugin and didn’t modify it. I was able to create myself a login as the only user, and that worked fine. I showed it to a coworker, who tried to visit the site as a user … there’s no log-in button. Why would this be kept from view? Appreciate any help.

Site is located here: http://creatingourcommonwealth.org/forums/forum/creating-our-common-wealth-forums/

My theme is Ribosome.

[breakweather]

I’m having a conflict between Ultimate Member and bbpress, even with this extension purchased:

Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in (my site)/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php on line 1446

I have uninstalled all plugins until it came down to bbpress and Ultimate Member. It is also not the extension, as I disabled that and the error persists.

It appears on back-end pages:
Ultimate Member: User Roles
Ultimate Member: Member Directory
bbpress tabs: Forums, Replies, Topics

Hello community,

we are experiencing quite an issue on our bbpress as replies are displayed in capitals, for example : http://www.combatmission.fr/fora/topic/un-article-sur-les-bleus/?view=all

Checked each post and none are so formatted and I’m clueless on what would cause that.

Would anyone have an idea on how to fix that (ie. replies to be displayed in lowercase)?

Hi, i am trying to import a 3.1.7 phpbb DB to bbpress, but some of my “core” users won’t convert.

I don’t get an error, but they just don’t seem to be retrieved, allthrough their posts and topics are showing fine.

I get the right amount of users imported, “142” but some of the users are being imported as “imported_username” could it be that the importer checks for 142 users and skips the rest?
I should say, that i have no users on the forum and i am doing a clean install without any prior imports.

[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.

Hi, I am using wordpress 4.5.2 and bbpress 2.5.9. I activated the bbpress plugin in dashboard and created a forum. But I got a blank page when I clicked the link to the forum. Then I found all other pages on the website become blank.

I removed the plugin then the website works again.

I suppose it is a template problem. But I don’t know how to fix it.

My website is http://www.rcaonline.ca . Does anyone know what the reason is and how to fix it?

Any help is appreciated.

Hello! I have on my wordpress admin one email, contato@vidroid.com.br , but I have other email that I like to use to mu forum: forums@vidroid.com.br . How I configure to send emails of bbPress’s forums by this email, not changing the principal email of my wordpress admin?

Thanks!

[vincebrown]

bbPress version : 2.5.9-6017.
WP version : 4.5.2

When creating a topic in the WordPress admin area, When I fill in the the the editor with some content for the initial reply/discussion of the topic nothing shows in the topic and it still displays there are 0 replies.

Any one have any ideas on to why this would not be outputting ? anything in forum settings ?

I have disabled all plugins and tried switching themes as well as create a new keymaster user with no luck.
