I want to put a menu entries of the forums in a tab of the menu. While a user is loged in, all looks fine, but when a visitor enter without login, the main menu is broken: all entries are shown in the complete menu. See the images for better understand.

I use the evoLve theme (3.5.0) (but the problem persits in TwentyFifteen and others) and the last version of BBpress (2.5.8) and WordPress 4.5.1

(sorry for my ugly english)

I have the number of replies per page set to 25. With Threading disabled, this works without an issue. However with Threading enabled, topics don’t get split into pages of 25 replies, and no pagination shows up. It basically ends up being a very long page of hundreds replies, all stuffed in that one page.

Is this a bug in the script, or am I doing something wrong? I have the latest version of bbPress, WP and BuddyPress, and use customized TwentySixteen theme.

Hi,
That’s typically a conflict with a theme or another plugin. Please switch to a default theme and deactivate all but bbPress. Test.
Then switch on plugins one after the other to find the one blocking.

We have a site that is running bbPress which is hosted on Windows Server 2012 with PHP 5.6.
We experience a delay when navigating the forums, usually about a 3 to 5 second delay for each page change. Is this to be expected when running bbPress on Windows? Would Apache on FreeBSD give us any increase in performance?

Thanks!

I have installed Rating-Widget: Star Review System plugin and I know it support with BBPress pluin,but after installed I can see rating start on each topic. How to make it work?

[sherminator18]

I have a two forums that I would like to disable topic creation for users, but allow comments/replies on topics that I create in these forums. For example, I have a forum for “Announcements.” I would like to be the only one who can create new topics on this forum but allow others to add replies on the topics I add. Is there a way to do this? I tried the bbPress Protected Forums plugin but it makes my forum page look all wonky and different form the other forums where I don’t want this to occur.

Hi,

I, attempting to import user posts, topics, replies, etc. from IPB to bbPress.
The importer seems to be working, but eventually seems to die logging a lot of ——————
to the end of log on the importer display.

I imported the users on the 1st pass, then reset the rest back to default and started again. I’ve tried a few passes adjusting the batch size or rows processed, first decreasing the size in case it was a memory issue, and have now run a couple passes with increasing batch size. At first I was getting topics, but not replies, once I increased the batch size from the default it made it through the topics and started on the replies, but again finished short of all the replies logging a screens worth of hyphen characters. This seems to be after 24-36 hours of run time, so I am not sure if I am running across some sort of session expiration or what.

Is it possible to re-run an import, picking off where it left off? I assumed not as it does not seem to do anything unless I do reset forums between attempts, but thought I would check as the start over option seems to indicate you can run it again without starting fresh.

Any ideas what is happening when the display starts logging ——– , or any other place I should be checking for an indicator of what the problem might be?

Hi – I just installed BBPress and I can’t seem to have the admin reply to any posts. I created an account under the name Hutad and tried to reply as the Admin and can’t see the response live on the site. It’s in my backend but not live. I am using a custom theme.
Here is the link to the topic/website

https://wiperecord.com/forums/topic/dui-in-california/#post-2630

Any suggestions much appreciated.

I’m using the latest wordpress version

[David Richied]

I read through the ticket. It looks like the BuddyPress notifications for BBPress forums really are kind of messed up, but it’s fine. I love the functionality it does have. Not even fb has forums.

[ixixy]

@robkk, thank you very much for your response. you are totally awesome :0

I looked at the link, and it seems like it is for bloggers to put custom background on different posts. It’s a cool idea, but not what I had in mind.

So, in bbpress, when you set up a forum, there is a place that allows you to upload a featured image.

I want to use this feature…..and upload a landscape image to use as a cover image on top of the forum….

To paint a clearer picture, imagine buddypress’s cover image that is on a user’s profile…. I want a cover image on each forum….and the image would be the pic uploaded to the ‘featured image’ option as the forum is set up.

I know that this probably a really pretty simple thing to do….insert the featured image photo on the forum index….i just am not sure which templates would need to be edited or the code involved…and that’s why I’m turning the idea to you brilliant folks who are smarter than me for the solution 🙂 😉 😀

[killahrepublic]

I have my bbpress installed on my site. I have some forums listed. However there is no way for users to sign up to post. Any help is greatly appreciated.

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 🙂

[d_ncs]

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

Thanks!!!!

[Robin W]

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!

[arathra]

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…

[arathra]

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!

[slimyslug]

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?

@zimmermannc

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

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.

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