When tapping on a Forum, I get “Oh bother! No topics were found here!” even when there is a topic present. I am only able to properly view the topics with one user (Roles: Administrator, Keymaster). The other users, which get the above message have roles: No site role, Participant, BUT even when I change any user to ‘Administrator, Keymaster’, they still get the same “Oh bother! No topics were found here!” message.

I did this: Tools > Forums > Relationships to Repair.

I also did this: Deactivated every plugin except for bbPress

And my theme is compatible with bbPress.

This is my site, and forums are private: http://www.nsachapters.org/forums/

This was working previously, but not sure what’s going on for it not to work now. Any suggestions?

WordPress 4.5
X Version: 4.1.1

I run a very busy site. I installed and activated bbPress using my admin account, but upon activation, instead of seeing a welcome screen, I received an error message stating that I did not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Returning back to the admin area, I did not find any “Forum” links under Settings or anywhere else.

I searched support forums here for help, but found nothing of help. I did however find a suggestion in another thread to log in with a different admin account to see if Forum links would be available there. I gave another account Admin privileges, made sure it also has Keymaster privileges, logged in with it, and found Forum links there. However, when I tried to access them, I once again got the error message that I did not have sufficient privileges to access that page.

I also read in another thread to try logging in with another admin account, remove Keymaster privileges from my main admin account, and then give Keymaster privileges back to the main account. I did all that, logged in with the main account and – nothing. I still don’t see any Forum links.

TL;DR – I can’t get bbPress started in any way. Considering that WP is such an easy to use platform with everything essentially working out of the box, I found it strange that a plugin that is listed as top featured WP plugin would be so difficult to get going, let alone use. What’s going on?

Hi,

Did you check you setting on ‘Dashboard > Settings > Discussion > Comment Moderation’ ?
I’m pretty sure bbPress is following that …

None of these seems to need a bbPress update, but do cause side effects when using bbPress:

• CACHE: First of all, if you see any issues, clean all of your cache (hosting side, server side, browser side, …)
• Twenty Eleven theme breaks the layout (see https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/36510)
• All in one SEO brakes: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/all-in-one-seo-pack-error/
• Crayon Syntax Highlighter: Formatting not loaded
• JQUERY: If something uses jQuery to display it, there are known issues (example of workaround in this ticket)

@siparker you are a godsend! I’ll have to test this tonight, but I’m hoping to be one of the first new bbPress forums to proudly be using pretty, SEO-friendly permalinks. Thank you!!

Hello,
I was wondering if there was a way to get the Favorite or Subscribe link. I would like to add them to a menu, this code is an example for the BBPress admin links, I need to add one more filter to grab the Favorite and Subscribe link if possible.

add_filter('bbp_get_topic_admin_links', 'wpmudev_bbp_admin_links_in_menu', 10, 3);
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_admin_links', 'wpmudev_bbp_admin_links_in_menu', 10, 3);
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'overflow_overriding' );
function overflow_overriding() {

Any filters laying around for this I have not found yet?

Thanks for your help. 🙂

[John James Jacoby]

It’s actually much easier than this.

If you set words, phrases, or IP addresses in your Settings > Discussions of WordPress’s admin, bbPress will adhere. Whatever you use for WordPress comments, also works for bbPress topics & replies.

Hope that’s helpful!

Creators plugin All in One SEO Pack bug fixed. Have to wait on updates or:
In wp-content/plugins/all_in_one_seo_pack/admin/display/meta_import.php, change line 38 from

}else{

to

}elseif(!class_exists('bbPress')){

[Krzysztof]

I have WP 4.4.2. After the update plugin All in One SEO Pack I can not add topics in bbpress. There is also no settings in the administration panel WP. After switching off All in One SEO Pack everything works.

[kieranw7261]

This is a great but I get an ‘Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION’ error if I use this in:
default/bbpress-functions.php

Am I putting this in the correct place?

[Pascal Casier]

Great. My standard answer is always the same:

Check out the codex: https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#1-change-how-the-forum-list-displays

Or

Use a plugin like ‘bbP Toolkit’ or ‘bbp style pack’

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
I have no clue what this could be… maybe another (not really bbPress related) plugin ?
You tested this both as admin and as participant ?

HI,

I have looked and searched but cannot find how to layout the forum titles vertically.

Ideally I would like a title for each section/category.

EG

General Announcements
– Forum
– Forum 2
– Forum 3

Discussion
– Forum 4
– Forum 5

Currently it lays out like this

General Announcements
– Forum, Forum 2, Forum 3

Discussion
– Forum 4, Forum 5

I have bbPress 2.5.8 installed

I would appreciate your help

Many Thanks

Hi there,
Apologies for the late reply, has been unexpectedly busy this weekend.
Yes, I am using the full editor with bbPress, but as stated, when I turn this off, or use the text function, nothing seems to change.
Browser side caching I checked, by using FireFox (which is not my primary browser) and using the incognito mode of Chrome.
I am on my own server, and my Apache does not use caching, as far as I know 🙂
Is there an option in WP to enable caching?

I will check the jQuery bit tomorrow and will report back.

Thanks for your answers,
Ben

Just a heads up to some of you.

I ran the import under Tools > Forum and it kept on telling me it had imported 0 users, 0 topics etc

I spent 1 hour looking up reasons why.

FINALLY, I actually CHECKED the /forums link to see if it actually worked and it had! It just told me it hadn’t.

Hope this helps someone.

I would like to prepare some blog posts ahead of the time when they should be seen. How can I do that?

Today, I tried to create one thread with the status “pending” but it didn’t display the content, while still keeping the subject. When I rewrote the post, it is now showing for me (admin) but non-admin get a 404 error if they click on the subject. That topic is about a contest that will only start next Friday, so I don’t want to show it yet, but I can’t even hide the topic either so members are trying to see what it is all about.

Is there a way to hide a thread completely? If so, how?
I have WP 4.5 and bbpress 2.5.8

Thanks

Hey, everyone. I am looking for a solution to this and not sure if it exists. My search skills are coming up short so I apologize if it’s out there already.

I would like to have a link/button on each of my posts in WordPress that would allow the user to generate a new topic in a particular bbPress forum. Essentially, it would auto-fill the title of the topic with the title of the post and quote the contents of the post (perhaps to a certain limit). The user would then be able to add any additional comments before submitting the new topic to the forum.

Now, of course you are going to ask WHY I want to do this. Essentially, the site I’m building consists of two parts. One, a discussion forum, and two, an rss aggregator that creates a new post for each article brought in from the feed. I would like the user to have the option of bouncing any article/post they think is worthy of discussion to the forum. (I’m not looking to have a discussion on every single post, and I don’t want to use comments under the post, keeping it all to the bbPress forums.)

I’d appreciate any help that would point me in the right direction. Thanks.

The permissions system that comes with bbpress is god damn awful. I strongly suggest someone take a look at making it a bit better.

I’m trying my best her to set up some kind of permissions for the different parts of the forums on my page.
It’s damn near impossible to get it working.
I read up on these forums and saw that some other poor bastard got suggested that the plugin members might help him set up permissions. That is not the case because that pluggin hasn’t got premission to alter the roles set by bbpress.
And if you make new roles it really doesn’t matter because you cannot select any other roles but the ones created by bbpress on registration.

If i try to use the permissions set by bbpress there is problems. If i set “Spectator” as the default role on sign-up applicats will not have access to the private forums! GREAT! Yes but user in that role cannot make posts anywhere on the forums.

If i put “participant” as the default role on sign-up applicats can make posts on the forum but they also have access to the private forums.

Holy shit this is a mess!!!

I want the default role to be able to make posts but not able to read private forums.

Then i want to be able to update applicats that are aproved to “member” and give them access to private forums!

And then I would like to have a role called, lets say Officers and when upgraded to officer you can access the hidden forums.

HOW ON GODS GREEN EARTH DO I ACHIEVE THIS? And don’t tell me to install the members plugin because that pluggin CANNOT alter the bbpress roles and you cannot set anything else but the bbpress roles as default on signups!

Hi there

Thanks for the reply.

For the one or two lines of code that needs to be removed from the bbpress plugin files it doesn’t seem right to go to all the effort of a child theme.

I can always remove the code each time the plugins updated.

Would you happen to know where it is and which line I need to remove.

Thanks

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
I suppose with ‘core’ you mean the bbPress plugin code ? NO, NEVER ! You don’t want to loose your changes at the next bbPress update, right ?

I think @robkk answer was the most appropriate one for this topic: Just work on the template, copy it to your (child)theme and modify as he indicated.

See probably step 5 and 6 from https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/ an also https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/

Hi all

I found an old thread about hiding the top set of pagination. I want to do this but the information in the issue seem to be out of date. Would anyone be able to provide any help on how I can do this. I understand I will probably need to edit the core but I’m OK with that.

Remove top pagination but keep bottom

I have searched and can not find a solution to getting this working

It is a member site and you can use user bbPress password bbPress

[angeljs]

I was wondering it would be possible to add a word filter to bbPress? Then, if anyone posts a topic or post containing any of those words, a content notification box would pop up to warn anyone that the content may be offensive, and asking them to confirm whether or not they wish to continue to view the thread. That way, if admins want to allow free speech in their forums, they also have a way to warn visitors/members about any content they may not wish to view.

[Tapirk]

Even though it’s not bbpress – do you have clue what it might be.

[Pascal Casier]

Something seems very strange to me, all your links on your site have a // in front of them.
So the login form has <form method=”post” action=”//http://www.barabajen.se/wp-login.php&#8221; class=”bbp-login-form”>

Please try to fix that first (no idea where it comes from, but for sure it’s not bbPress.

Pascal.
