I have installed bbPress (2.5.8) with WordPress 4.4.2. In the forum settings, I’ve selected the option to allow users to subscribe to a forum or a topic. In the forums that I created, I see the Subscribe button on topics, but I do not see options at the forum level for users to subscribe to the forum. Is there something else I need to do in order to implement subscriptions at the forum level?

Thank you.

Multiple possibilities:
1) Install my ‘bbP Toolkit’ plugin
2) Check Robin’s ‘bbp style pack’ plugin
3) See the codex : https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#1-change-how-the-forum-list-displays

Hi, I have read the several forums surrounding warp 7 and yootheme issues with getting it to work with bbpress. I have a yootheme wordpress theme installed and would like to use the bbpress plugin. However my userprofile and edit profile pages are blank when linked or throw up a

/home/../public_html/../wp-content/themes/yoo_sun_wp/styles/Themename/layouts, /home/../public_html/../wp-content/themes/yoo_sun_wp/layouts, /home/../public_html/../wp-content/themes/yoo_sun_wp/warp/systems/wordpress/layouts, /home/../public_html/../wp-content/themes/yoo_sun_wp/warp/layouts] in /home/../public_html/../wp-content/themes/yoo_sun_wp/warp/src/Warp/Helper/TemplateHelper.php on line 53″

I have already installed the suggested plugin fixes
bbpress wp4 fix
bbpress wp4 fix2

I have also copied the “bbpress” & “extra” directories to the child theme folder as suggested.

I would be grateful for any help or suggestions to try and get this to work.

Many thanks

Michael

Hello,

I just installed BBPress. I created a forum, and there’s a topic in the forum, but when I go to the forum, it says:

This forum is empty.

And it doesn’t show within the theme, so I’m assuming there is some sort of error.

Here’s the page:

http://cocreationcoaching.org/forums/forum/spiritual-coach-training-level-i/

The topic display works, and the forum index, but not when I try to view a forum. Any idea why this might be happening?

[perkiins]

I have my forum like this:

Games
Game 1(0,0),Game 2(0,0),Game 3(0,0)

Other
Other 1(0,0),Other 2(0,0),Other 3(0,0)

I need my forum to be this way:

Games

• Game 1
• Game 2
• Game 3

Other

• Other 1
• Other 2
• Ohter 3

WHAT I DO I NEED HELP, I NEED A GROUP OF FORUMS… BUT WITH THIS STRUCTURE ITS IMPOSIBLE… Help what I do?

Hello,

Is there any way to have private messaging in bbPress?
This is very much needed.
Hope you can help.

[dtmember]

Hi, I just add the bbpress search code posted above by robkk, and it works too fine Some private topics are also show up. How could I use this search function but not include the private topic. Or maybe it could only shows the topic name but not content. Thanks

Is there anyone might able to solve this?

[johnzoro]

Not sure if this is the right place.

On my normal pages in wordpress I have the option of using full width or having a sidebar.

Is there this option on bbpress or do you need to create a page, then post shortcode then modify that page to full width?

I’ve just pushed a new 2.6-alpha that includes a fix for deleting imported users, it wasn’t behaving as it should.

https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.zip

[Stephen Edgar]

I’ve just bumped 2.6-alpha with the above changes and also a fix for deleting imported users that wasn’t playing nice 😉

https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.zip

[Stephen Edgar]

I’ve just added support to the XenForo importer to support deleted users.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2922

If you update your 2.6-alpha via this zip file you’ll have that included for your import.

What this does is if a user has been deleted from XenForo their topics and replies are not actually deleted (they are kept to maintain context) but during import because that user no longer exists they cannot be imported and the topic/reply would then be attributed to the anonymous user. Now the topic/reply is still attributed to the anonymous user but includes the original author name, basically the same way XenForo handled this.

Edit: You can see the difference from when the Member Two user still existed and was imported per https://cloudup.com/c_epfx4Q4z8/f, I then deleted Member Two and the result looks like this https://cloudup.com/cNnYv-3eSyl https://cloudup.com/c5iQ-iIOoW4

Hi,
Activity streams and group forums are BuddyPress specific, not bbPress. So better ask on their forum.
Blogging is WordPress, not bbPress.

So I’m sure that for what you want to do, the WordPress platform seems what you need. But for sure to accomplish what you want, you will need to have different plugins and maybe coding help.

I’ve taken a look at activity streams, forums, and groups from various sources and am not sure which I would need to build a website specific for my needs. All of them have certain things that seem related to what I would like to accomplish, but I’m not sure they will finish the job. So before I start on this project, I’d like to get some advice as to how I might go about this.

I’m wanting to create a website that has a Home page that all unregistered people will see right off the bat. If a user is logged in, I would like them to see a page similar to a blog. It would basically be their own blog page. Ideally, this page would be created upon their confirmed registration. It seemed like activity stream was a personalized page created upon confirmed registration, so that may be what I’m looking for, but I’m not quite sure if it will be right for handling the other things I need.

So, on this personalized blog page, a user would have a link to create a new topic which would allow them to enter in several fields of info (i.e. Topic Name, Content, Location). Then when they post that topic, it will appear on their own personalized blog page. I want other users to be able to search and find other topics or even view a person’s personalized blog page, but they will not be able to reply to anything on that page. Everything will be locked down for all users except the owner of the personalized blog page.

Is BBPress right for what I want to do? Which of these tools might I need? Any suggestions on how to go about using these tools to do what I want? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If it creates an error, then I would advise to open a thread on the support forum.
There is an alternative plugin that was discussed in this thread: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-feature-viewhit-counts/

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
I suppose you tried with 2.5.8 ? If you are starting now, I would advise to consider 2.6 (https://bbpress.org/download/). It’s still alpha but will soon be released. It offers better performance and better import capabilities.

Let me know.
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi Biorn,

Create a standard WordPress page and put the slug ‘forums’. Creating this page will override the standard page that comes out.

You can then add the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode on that page (see https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/) and change the title of your page.

Pascal.

Late to the party on migrating, but I think it’s time. Installed bbPress via plugins on my WordPress instance. I’d played around with it in the past so I cleared all the old data with a board reset. Went to import and put in all the information – created a new MySQL user with full permissions to the database my phpBB forum is on.

Set rows limit to 75 and Delay time to 3 – I have a pretty big forum to move.

Checked all three boxes for Convert Users, Start Over, and Purge – I want a full, clean import.

It gets right to the start of the process and says:
WordPress database error: [Table ‘XXXX_forum.users’ doesn’t exist]
(the XXXX is the name of my database)

And it gives a long string in gray after that of info I don’t quite understand.

Tried deleting the plugin and reinstalling it. I’m on the latest version of WordPress and PhpBB.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance!

Forum:

I would like each forum to show the total times viewed as well as each topic to display times viewed. In addition to voices and posts column it should show how many times people have seen the threads. I have not been able to find a plugin that is still supported most seem to not have been updated in years.

Only one that could work is bbpress simple view counts but it immediately creates an error in the forum when installing.

Can you suggest one?
Thanks!

Well let’s see if the 3rd time’s a charm. My site is netballscoop.com. I’m running latest version of WordPress & BBPress. This is a sports site, w/content going back to 2007. I’d really like to make it such that only content for the current year is displayed & previous content archived to another site, but I’m having trouble. An export of only 2016 content & reimport does not work correctly (I suspect because the topic & reply numbers are messed up) & the WordPress Bulk Delete plugin simply can’t do this. Anyone got any suggestions? Please? Is this something that no one else wants to do or…?

[thinkDrew]

I was looking for something like this as well for our “non-tech savy” audience and found that @Robkk answer works best: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

Hello,

I am trying to get the bbpress login widget above the forum posts on the mobile version of my site.
Because the plugin is in the main sidebar, it gets placed on the bottom of the page when resizing to a mobile view.
What i want is for it to be on top of the page.

Thanks in advance,
Jeroen

Hi,
This is a bbPress forum, what is your exact question related to bbPress ?
Pascal.

[LeGuerg]

Hello,

I get an issue with the bbPress capabilities. My forum Participants are set with edit_replies, delete_replies, edit_topics, delete_topics capabilities, but they can not delete their own posts because the links are not displayed. Keymasters and Moderators have no problem since they are moderators on the whole forum.

So I checked the code in ./includes/topics/capabilities.php and includes/replies/capabilities.php and added the code below to fix the issue:

./includes/topics/capabilities.php, line 174 and
./includes/replies/capabilities.php, line 156

// Moderators can always edit forum content
	} elseif ( user_can( $user_id, 'moderate' ) ) {
		$caps[] = 'moderate';
					
// -------------------------------- 
// User is author so allow edit if not in admin
	} elseif ( !is_admin() && ( (int) $user_id === (int) $_post->post_author ) ) {
	        $caps[] = $post_type->cap->delete_posts;
// --------------------------------
					
// Unknown so map to delete_others_posts

So my question is: is this intended ? Otherwise is there a fix planned for a next update?
Thank you for your help.
Regards.

The import completed and I’m still having the problem with users being associated with their posts. For example:

Original thread on xenForo: http://surveyorconnect.com/threads/converting-from-lat-long-clarke-spheroid-to-spc.326148/

Imported thread on bbpress: http://surveyorconnect.com/portal/index.php/forums/topic/converting-from-lat-long-clarke-spheroid-to-spc/

[Stephen Edgar]

I changed the default value to “special” in this part below.

I don’t think this would cause that error, the fact that I’ve no idea what is causing that error “could” be in fact the cause of the error.

The “Reset Forums” tool includes the ability to delete all bbPress forum content and imported users, run this and that should get rid of your ~30k imported users.

After that, try changing that “special” back to “Snitz” (I think thats what it was) and se what happens.
