Hello Guys!

I use in the moment the woltlab wbb4 and want to change to bbpress.
And configuration file for the converter i found at github.

But when i start the converting process, it doesnt do anything, just turning wheel of convert.

Can anyone help, how i can get the import?

Greetings!

Hello bbPress community,

I’ve forked @siparker ‘s plugin and have worked with a dev to develop an edited version

the new version:

– only includes post IDs at the end of topics
– moves the topic IDs to the end of the URL for URL prettiness
– makes it so that every page only has one path (important to prevent negative SEO duplicate content vulnerabilities)
– works with breadcrumbs and edit post links too

I’m doing a final debugging right now, but I’ll publish the code on GitHub once it’s polished and then will share a ZIP here.

@netweb, would love to help work toward getting this implemented in core functionality 🙂

Do you know if is it possible to have all this features with or without plugins in Bbpress?

Thanks!!!!

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict

As Cherrypress is a paid theme – then contact the theme author for help.

I have a forum that is broken down by many regions on a map. Each region has a forum category. Does bbpress or a plugin have a feature that will allow me to create a new forum and apply to to all parent categories? Like instead of selecting the parent of my new forum, I could place a checkbox next to each parent I wanted it attached to?

If this isn’t yet possible, please throw this into the suggestion box 🙂 Thanx!

I’ve narrowed this down to bbpress and have read up a load of suggestions but none seem to work and I can’t get rid of this error message which leaves the rest of the admin page blank.

The message I get is:

Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /home/xxxx/public_html/home/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3901

Followed by

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/xxxx/public_html/home/wp-includes/functions.php:3901) in /home/xxxx/public_html/home/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1171

The first message I understand is a noted bug which I can ignore.

The second appears only when bbpress is activated (even with no other plugins activated on a new 4.5 installation of WP is there).

I’ve checked /wp-includes/functions.php and there are no spaces at the beginning or end of it (as suggested on another thread as a possible cause) and likewise /wp-includes/pluggable.php has no spaces.

What else might be causing this error and can I do anything about it?

Many thanks for any help here…

I installed bbpress 2.5.8 and then imported an old forum from Kunena 1. This had about 10,000 posts and some 42,000 users.

I then set each user as a PARTICIPANT.

However, the majority of these users are spam and I’d like to get rid of them. The simplest way I thought would be to get rid of those who have never made a post.

I thought if I used the tool COUNT TOPICS FOR EACH USER and COUNT REPLIES FOR EACH USER it would show a number next to each user and then I could simply delete all those users who’d never posted anything. However, ALL users remain at 0 posts despite the fact that some of them have most certainly posted.

Is there a way to update the number of posts a user has made so I can definitively remove those with zero posts?

Thanks!

My site http://www.nasgp.org.uk has some users who create blogs for me, but for last few months they’ve been unable to sign in. We use the CherryPress theme.

We’ve just found the solution – deactivating the bbPress plugin!

We’ve not actually used bbPress yet (waiting for developer time…), although would like to soon.

Any suggestions?

Moderators cannot see the forums menu in the WordPress backend. To see the Forums menu item they need the keep_gate capability which only Keymasters have.

Moderators can create forums on the frontend of your site if you used the [bbp-forum-form] shortcode in a page

Editing forums, I am not sure how they are supposed to do that on the frontend, maybe bbPress had some functionality for managing BuddyPress group forums that is broken. Have to look into it.

These are my plugins
bbPress

Actually I am using the french version of WP
For BBp, currently I am using the following plugins
Maybe there might be some inconsistency?

bbPress by La communauté bbPress version 2.5.8,
bbP private groups by Robin Wilson version 3.0.8,
bbPress Notifications by dFactory version 1.0.1.1,
bbPress Topics for Posts by David Dean version 1.8.1,
bbPress – Sort topic replies by Atif Naveed, Kevin Marshall version 1.0.3,
GD bbPress Attachments by Milan Petrovic version 2.3.1

[Robin W]

and what version of bbpress are you on?

[Robkk]

I used the plugin wp-members

Is it this plugin??

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-members/

I cannot seem to figure out how you did the members area thing with this plugin (if it is the correct plugin).

So I have done loads more searching and it is known problem which BBPress do nothing about

Well there might be related issues to search redirecting to the home page, some had issues with the search query having a url structure and query different than intended by default, and some had issues with search plugins on their site, and I think some I tried to contact personally to help them since they had a premium theme and it is hard to just figure it out on premium themes that might have some kind of fancy ajax search having conflicts with the default bbPress search for example. Your issue could be somewhat related to the url structure.

Do you have any steps that maybe I can try to replicate to find the cause of this issue, like explain how you set everything up?

So you ditch the BBPress function, it does not work. And amend the normal search to include forums.

Yes this can be a workaround for some, but since you may have private members only content this solution may not be practical.

Does the default bbPress search work fine on a fresh installation with just your theme and no other plugins like wp-members?

If you haven’t already known if bbPress search works by default with just your theme and bbPress activated, consider created a localhost setup to test the default bbPress search to see if it works on a default fresh installation, then we can work backwards and try to find the cause of this issue that you are experiencing.

[Robkk]

Yeah I can confirm it is a bug, I created this trac ticket on the issue awhile back.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2869

[Robkk]

I’ve added a new site to my multisite installation, set the language to German and activated bbPress. The ‘by’ did not show.

Was the word “by” turned into “von”, or was there an entirely different layout when you activated your theme on new site install? If it was “von” by default in the new site installation then, then maybe it could be a possible cache issue on your original site, so flushing the cache could then update the word to “von”.

Could it be that the theme only causes the ‘by’ to show if two (or more) languages are active or that a plugin is causing it?

Are you planning to have a multilingual single site? You might be on to something here if you are trying to run a multilingual single site.

Just so you know, I thought the root issue could be the “by” not changing in your forums is because it might have outputted the text using code from a custom phpbb starter pack theme created by @lynq, here is an example of the custom forum freshness column from the starter pack.

Hello,

Please…it’s driving me crazy…

I can’t find the option to move a topic to another forum. I know this is an option on every forum I’ve ever seen in my life, yet I am not able to find it on bbpress to save my life. I checked for plugins and couldn’t find anything, only old forum posts from like 2009 with dead links.

I have a very organized forum that absolutely must have this feature, or else it’s useless. Did I miss something?

Thank you!

[rothaar]

Hi Robkk,

thank you for your reply. I appreciate your help. 🙂
I’ve added a new site to my multisite installation, set the language to German and activated bbPress. The ‘by’ did not show. I then activated my theme. The ‘by’ still did not show.

Could it be that the theme only causes the ‘by’ to show if two (or more) languages are active or that a plugin is causing it? I activated some of the plugins I’m using on my site related to bbPress and BuddyPress, but I couldn’t recreate the issue.

Thanks
K.

NVM I think I got it…might not be optimal…but this worked:

#bbpress-forums .submit {
background-color: #0f5289;
color: #FFFFFF;
float: center;
vertical-align: middle;
border-radius: 0;
height: auto;
width: auto;
}

#bbpress-forums .submit:hover {
background-color: #0c2b44;
color: #FFFFFF;
float: center;
vertical-align: middle;
border-radius: 0;
height: auto;
width: auto;
}

[semperaye]

Hello. What would the code be to change the color of the “Submit” button? I’m assuming the same code but with a change to the 1st line.

Is it this:

#bbpress-forums .submit {
background-color: #1e73be;
color: #FFFFFF;
float: center;
vertical-align: middle;
border-radius: 4px;
height: 35px;
width: 120px;
font-size: 14px !important;
}

Because it didn’t work..

[David Richied]

I have threaded replies enabled, the box ticked, and the forum subscribed, but I am not getting any BuddyPress notifications when someone responds to the topic. @Robkk, It probably is a bug. I wish more people would work on BBPress, but I know you can only go so far with volunteer work (and they did go pretty far! Especially with BuddyPress. BuddyPress is awesome.).

[JaneAkshar]

I used the plugin wp-members and put the forums in the member area. I have been speaking to the author of that plugin who is brilliant with support and he had problems at the begining as well. So I have done loads more searching and it is known problem which BBPress do nothing about

There is no solution out there BUT what you can do is change the main search function to include forums and that is what I have eventually done. I do think BBPress should provide a proper solution

So you ditch the BBPress function, it does not work. And amend the normal search to include forums. I used this code snippet to help.

/**
* Include bbPress 'topic' custom post type in WordPress' search results */

function ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search( $topic_search ) {
        $topic_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
        return $topic_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search' );

/**
* Include bbPress 'forum' custom post type in WordPress' search results */

function ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search( $forum_search ) {
        $forum_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
        return $forum_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_forum_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search' );

/**
* Include bbPress 'reply' custom post type in WordPress' search results  */

function ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search( $reply_search ) {
        $reply_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
        return $reply_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_reply_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search' );

Does this custom CSS help any?? This is what I have making a custom theme in twentytwelve.

#bbpress-forums #wp-link {

  overflow: hidden;
  clip: rect(0 0 0 0);
  border: 0;
  word-wrap: normal!important;
}

Hello,

if you look at our latest topic, you will see the blue notice bar. In in, the time is formatted incorrect. There should be a comma, or even better, the word “und” between the hours and the minutes, not a full stop. I tried to change it in the translation, but there is only a code for the whole timestamp. I would suggest to update bbpress in this regard, so the timestamp becomes localizable.

Best
Manuel

so if you go in as administrator and hover over forums, you get a list of

all forums
new forums
forum moderators

or what do you get?

sorry but my test site is set up for buddypress at the mo for something else, so don’t want to alter to see what you get with just bbpress and my private groups
