WP version 4.4.2 bbpress Version 2.5.8 http://www.enablesoft.com the forum is part of the main site. http://www.enablesoft.com/foxtrot-user-network/ you can see the login page there.

We need if someone tries to access the forum or the members page and they are not logged in to be redirected to the register page. Right now they end up back on the home page and that does not help them get logged in.

Please let me know how I can change the non logged in redirect.

Hey @robkk! I am trying to do this – install bbpress on my subdomain of my multisite setup, but it’s not going well.

I have buddypress network enabled and bbpress enabled only on the subdomain. When I’m logged into my buddypress account and I try to access my subdomain where my forums are hosted I am redirected to the buddypress registration page. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Can you please help with some suggestions? I’ve read a bunch of things but I can’t understand enough to apply and see what my errors could be in my settings. Thank you.

With WP you have the option of using multisite to create other sites off of the same WP installation. I run buddypress on my main site and I would like to run my forum(bbpress) on my subsite. From what I thought I understood they should be site-wide so the need for registering for both buddypress and bbpress should not be occurring. But then again, I don’t know what I’m doing. Do you have a multisite setup?

Hi I am a newbie in wordpress. My site has installed the bbpress for a forum, but in this login page http://epilens.com/login/, I don’t know how to move the “log in” button from the right to the left. Please help.

Hi guys,

I was working on my webpage for learning german. I’m now thinking of turning it into a forum. Is there any plugin, that allows the users to easily record their voice and upload it, so instead of texting the conversations would be acturally voice messages? Seems to make more sense to me for learning a language.

Regards,
Effex

Hi all, hope you’re doing well.

I noticed what I suspect is a bug a few weeks ago. After digging through the forums, disabling plugins, turning off custom functions and more, I cannot seem to identify the source of my following issue.

Basically, when the bbp_topic_freshness_link() function is called in loop-single-topic.php, for example, the URL should show something like:

domain[dot]com/forum/topic/topic-title/page/2/#post-12345

Note that the /page/2/ part is only meant for threads that have more than one page of replies. So if that same example topic only had 2 replies, for example, the URL would have been:

domain[dot]com/forum/topic/topic-title/#post-12345

So the issue I am having is that for some topics, when there are multiple pages, the /page/2/ part of the URL isn’t included. So when the link it clicked on, it goes to the first reply on the first page of the topic. What’s more baffling is that sometimes, the link without the /page/2/ bits included does go to the correct URL. I’ve tried this from multiple accounts and I cannot seem to uncover any meaningful patterns.

I did try to run the repair job titled “Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum” with no luck. All of the URLs are still randomly missing the page parts.

A few potentially relevant notes:
– I migrated my forum from SMF
– All of my forums are private
– I am using the “Go To First Unread Post” plugin but the issue still occurs when disabled

Does it sound like this issue related to this fix?: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2876

Many thanks,
Tim

Did you create any page (also look in drafts and trash) that has a /forums slug ?
If you nowhere have a page with that slug, that bbPress should default to /forums to show the existing forums (don’t forget to create at least 1 public forum to see the list)

I’m trying to setup my buddypress and bbpress, I would like bbpress to run on my subdomain but I just can’t forgot out what I’m doing wrong. When a logged in user tries to access the forums they are required to register again. My buddypress users aren’t syncing. Please help I have no clue what to go and everything I’ve read online seems too vague for me to understand and apply. Thank you.

Aloha all,

Newbie and just installed bbPress and added my list of forums. I have done the initial troubleshooting of moving to twenty-twelve theme, disabled all plugins and redid the permalinks and such and still cannot pull up list of forums.

http://www.fiduciaryforums.org/forum

Using bbPress 2.5.8 and WordPress 4.4.2

One other question, I wanted the forums to be installed under http://www.fiduciaryforums.org/forums and notice in my file structure it’s /forum. Any suggestions on how to much to /forums instead?

Thank you all for any help!

1) Activity stream
I suppose you talk about the BuddyPress activity stream here ?
If so, maybe this code could get you started (found it on the BuddyPress forum). It will block ALL new topics/replies, so if you tune that to your private forums, it could be what you are looking for.

// Filter bbPress from updating activity stream
function imath_activity_dont_save( $activity_object ) {
$exclude = array( 'bbp_topic_create', 'bbp_reply_create');
// if the activity type is empty, it stops BuddyPress BP_Activity_Activity::save() function
if( in_array( $activity_object->type, $exclude ) )
$activity_object->type = false;
}
add_action('bp_activity_before_save', 'imath_activity_dont_save', 10, 1 );

2) To limit access to /forums, create a page with the slug /forums and add in that page what you want (a bbPress shortcode or just text). The creation of this page will prevent the standard forum index page to come up. Of course using any ‘members’ plugin, you could then e.g. make sure only admins could access.

Hi, Pascal –

Thanks for your help!

I’m using Genesis with the Divine Theme child theme by Restored 316 Designs.

The plugin is definitely conflicting with the theme. I’ve used bbpress on another website with a different Genesis child theme, but haven’t had this problem.

I don’t want to switch themes. I’m totally willing to play around with the CSS to try to make this work. Can you help me locate the area of the theme that I need to edit to make the forum page layout correctly?

Thanks, again.
Brandi

[terranova23]

Thanks for your reply, Pascal.

In that case, that plugin is probably not going to help us anyway. So never mind the shortcode error.

Our problem is still with the bbPress activity stream, we are hoping to limit its contents to only should be visible to members of a particular group. We are using MemberMouse and the bbPress MemberMouse extension to limit users access to only the forums they are taking a class for, but they are seeing activity from other forums in the feed.

Also, we would like to limit access to this default bbPress page to be private for admins only, if at all possible: http://www.themysticdreamacademy.com/forums/

Hope someone can help us with one or both of these issues.

Thanks,
Rory

If I was to try this I would jump into the database directly to have a closer look, but thats me, and I’m pretty confident I know what I’m doing here 😉

Presuming your taking backups so your data is safe and you have tested restoring from backup.

I’ve never actually tried this but what happens if you de-activate bbPress on the single site and then network activate it?

[Stephen Edgar]

@dots I’d suggest setting up a test site to test your imports before importing into your live site to iron out any issues you come across. The best process is to “reset” bbPress which will remove/delete all your bbPress data, you can then start the import with a fresh/clean slate for bbPress.

I cannot guarantee that it will work perfectly importing everything though I really hope it does, as I stated in my previous reply there hasn’t been much testing with Xenforo so any feedback would be great to hear, any issues and I’ll try to implement those fixes.

Unless people test the importers and give us feedback I cannot improve them 🙂

@netweb
Hi Stephen,

Thanks for the updates. I have updated my BBPress to bbPress 2.6-alpha.

Now, I have again started the import using BBPress tools and now my script is importing the data again, But it will taking the duplicate data from the Xenforo. I hope this version can import all my Xenforo data to BBPress. But still I have more questions about the import.

1) In my Xenforo having total 62,65,110 replies and tool has imported only 66,100 records only. so bbPress 2.6-alpha version are able to import all pending 61,99,010 data from the Xenforo?

2) Could you please share your thoughts for how to remove duplication data? Is there any good solutions? For duplicate data reports/ screenshot We will come back after my client permission.

Hi,
The error you are referring to is BuddyPress (bp_) and not bbPress (bbp_), so you might have a try on their forum…

I found this old article: http://teqsnacks.com/2009/05/18/moving-multi-author-wordpress-blog-import-export-users/

Or use this plugin: https://github.com/pippinsplugins/bbPress-Export-and-Import

Hi there,

I’m helping a client resolve an issue with their bbPress Activity Stream. Their website has many online classes that are kept separate from each other, and their wish is to have the Activity Stream only show activity that is relevant to the forum a user has access to, and keep info from other forums private (they are using MemberMouse to restrict access). I did some research on here and on Google and found several threads that talked about similar issues, but wasn’t able to find any solutions.

The site uses the latest version of WP (4.4.2) and bbPress (2.5.8) and is located at http://www.themysticdreamacademy.com/

I thought the bbPress Activity Stream Shortcode Plugin would do the job, so I installed that and did a quick test, but I’m getting this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_has_activities() in /home/myst1cadm1n/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bp-activity-shortcode/bp-activity-as-shortcode.php on line 102

If that issue could be resolved, we may be all set since we can set up shortcodes to display different streams for different forums. Otherwise, we’d like to know if there’s a way to limit the Activity Stream to only show content the user has access to.

Finally, my client is also concerned about the default forums page, which shows a listing of recent topics from all forums and is visible to anyone who finds it: http://www.themysticdreamacademy.com/forums/ Users who aren’t logged in aren’t able to click any of the links, but they are still concerned about privacy. Is it possible to make this page private so only logged-in admins can see it? Or can it be removed somehow?

Thanks for your time,
Rory

Hi,

To fix when the user logs out, you could use this code. Add it into your functions.php and change $url to whatever you want as page.

function casiepa_logout ($redirect_to) {
	$url='/forums/' ;
	$redirect_to = '<a href="' . wp_logout_url( $url ) . '" class="button logout-link">' . esc_html__( 'Log Out', 'bbpress' ) . '</a>' ;
	return $redirect_to ;
	}
	
add_filter ('bbp_get_logout_link', 'casiepa_logout') ;

Pascal.

Good evening and thanks for your answers.

My configuration is wp with bbpress and buddypress. I have one public forum with subs-forums in a other hand i have got 3 others forums (privates) with subs-forums as well.

(First of all i wanted to use the possiblity to create privated forums in buddypress’s groups. But i had a bug. First everythings was ok till i create a public forum. I don’t understood why but all my dedicated groups’forums links had been replaced by this last.So I decided to disable this functionality in the groups and to create privated forums outside buddypress instead).

Yes i use user “role editor” and user “access manager” the access to the privated forums pages are manage by user access manager” but not at all for the public one and the trouble is still the same.

Yes here is the link http://pdvc.lgmarras.org

I have created a special user for you if you send me an email i will be able to give you the login and the password.

[Pascal Casier]

You use v3.8.7 ? Please notify the creators of the Avada theme because it’s a bug on there side.

In Avada/includes/class-layout-bbpress.php, change line 84 as follows:

Original:
<div class="bbp-reply-post-date"><?php bbp_topic_post_date( bbp_get_topic_id() ); ?></div>

Modified:
<div class="bbp-reply-post-date"><?php bbp_reply_post_date( bbp_get_reply_id() ); ?></div>

Pascal.

Hey there,

i have a problem. All topic replies have exact the same date as the topic itself. For example: If somebody created a topic on the 1st of february 4:30 pm, all replies will get the 1st of february 4:30 pm date as well. I really appreciate your help. My Users keep complaining about this bug.

Cheers!
