Okay….so I was on the WordPress forums thinking it was the bbPress forums….I know, I know. DUH!!

Complete NOOB here. I’m looking to create a forum based community.
I’m using Twenty Ten them and have started created my forum with bbPress.

I have a “Master Forum” with with sub-forums “North”, “Central” and “South”. It is displaying as:

Location
North (0, 0), Central (0, 0), South (0, 0)

I’m assuming the “(0,0)” after each sub-forum title is the number of topics and replies. I want to remove those on the main forum page so it looks like:

Location
North
Central
South

Any ideas?

I’ve just imported my SMF forum to bbPress with little trouble. However, all of my posts are now showing as being written by anonymous. Is there a simple MySQL query I can run that would change all of my topics and replies to myself instead of having to trawl through hundreds of posts to do it manually? 🙂

Wow I can’t believe it but I figured this out.

Basically I wrote a function that looks for a result to the bbpress function bbp_reply_id();

IF there’s a result, then replaced my $item_id (the actual post id such as $post->ID) with the id of the reply.

That did the trick. One problem though is that the bbpress bbp_reply_id(); function echoes the number, so I had to clean the echo off like this:

ob_start();
  $result = bbp_reply_id();
  ob_end_clean();

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

The freshness indicator on my site is all wrong – http://epilens.com/forums/. I have tried using the bbpress repair tool with no success. Please advice.

[TKServer]

I decided to program my own Like/Dislike plugin so I could customize it and tweak it for my exact needs. It’s working great in my custom threaded forum view for bbpress here:

Ute Fan Board

By using the hook bbp_theme_after_reply_admin_links I’m able to get the like buttons to show up in the bbpress topics and replies, but they’re all the parent topic. See photo below.

Here’s one of my hooks:

//adds the like buttons right of the time on forum posts in bbpress
function tk_after_bbpress_content() {
     $custom_content_after_forum_title = tk_like_buttons();
    echo $custom_content_after_forum_title;
}
add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_admin_links', 'tk_after_bbpress_content' );

Hoping perhaps @robkk or @casiepa have some ideas? I can’t get the post id into the plugin for replies. Thanks!

I feel like I’m missing something really obvious here, but for the life of me, I can’t figure out what it is.

I just installed bbPress on my website today: http://naughtyerotica.org/forums/ When I go there and click on the only forum I have created thus far, I get an error message, “PRIVATE – You do not have permission to view this forum.”

Since I created the damn forum, this is more than a little confusing to me, lol.

I’ve never tried to host my own forum before, so I am (almost guaranteed) missing something obvious here.

TIA!

Easy, just install bbpress and activate plugin.

From dashboard you create a forum and publish

Then go to appearance => menus, and add forums to your navigation.

But the link Pascal gave should give you a good start

[peter-hamilton]

Is this BBPress though, I see xenoforo code only

Hi,

Bumped into an issue that i can’t seem to figure out. Please help.

I have a wp blog(matheson theme) and a bbpress forum.

Trying to remove the sidebar from posts but keep it on side in the forum.

When i go to customize menu there is an option to make the posts 100% width. The sidebar moves to the bottom instead of going away. So i went to single.php and removed <?php get_sidebar(); ?> which removes it all together. Great, or so i thought.

The issue is now the forum is full-width and the sidebar is on the bottom instead of the side.

any suggestions would be much appreciated. the site is http://goo.gl/M4s9RG

sorry someone has edited that page and made it less helpful.

Try

Now we have some forums, we need to have somewhere to display them.
There are two ways to do this. Most themes support method 1, and this can (can not will) produce tighter theme integration on style [Note this was true for v 2.2 not sure if it still is !]. However Method 2 allows you to have some introductory words. Your choice…!
Method 1
This requires a couple of checks first
a. In Dashboard>settings>forums look for what is set in the forum root under the forum root slug heading. The default is ‘forums’ but you can set this to anything
b. In Dashboard>settings>permalinks check that the common settings check is set to ‘postname’ If it isn’t and you don’t want to change it, then use method 2.
Now just create a wordpress page that has the heading that was found in a. above eg if the root slug is ‘forums’ create a page with the title ‘forums’, and save.
Once the permalink has been created, you can rename the page to whatever you wish eg ‘mysite forums’ (as the permalink will stay the same, and it is this permalink that bbpress looks for)
Save this page, add it to a menu if you are using custom menus, or decide its order if you have automatic menus. Then publish it to your site.
Job done!
Method 2
If either your theme doesn’t work with method 1, you don’t want permalinks with postname, or you want to use some introductory text (eg “welcome to our forums…”, then method 2 is for you.
In dashboard>pages
go to add new page
Call this ‘Forums’ or whatever you want your menu item to be.
Then in the content section, you may want to have some introductory words “welcome to the forum” etc. then add the following bbpress shortcode
[bbp-forum-index]
Save this page, add it to a menu if you are using custom menus, or decide its order if you have automatic menus. Then publish it to your site.
You will now have a forum page, and a forum to display.

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Hi,
Would any of my answers here help ? https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/setup-login-for-private-forum/

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
I’m not aware of anything that would upload voice messages directly.
For uploading files (like a .wav or .mp3), the 2 products I know of are ‘GD bbpress Attachments’ and ‘bbPress Multi Image Uploader’. Have a look if it would fit your needs.

If you use BuddyPress as well, then there is also ‘BuddyPress Forum Editor’.

Pascal.

I installed bbPress and am following the “creating content” instructions from this webpage:

Creating Content

I created a forum using the instructions under “Creating a Forum”. The forum (called “Purchasing”) shows up under (Forums: All Forums) in my control panel.
The instructions say that my forum will be created at:
http://yourdomain.com/forums/forum/yourforumname

But when I look at my wordpress pages in the control panel, there is no page for “forum” or any subforum created yet.

How do I actually put the forum as a “forum” page in my website? Even though I create forums, there is no forum page created. Do I have to create that top level “forum” page manually using an “add page” from my dashboard?
Thanks,

[Robin W]

Quickest way is to hide it using css

so in your style.css add

.bbp-pagination-count {
   display: none;
}

Hello @peterwsterling

Is this plug in still being updated? I have updated bbpress and now voting on a poll has no effect.

[Adri Oosterwijk]

Although this is an old thread I just try my luck.
The solution above does work however I’m trying to get it to work in a multi-lingual site using WPML. I know there are issues with the compatibility between bbPress and WPML. What happening is that when I click on the (altered) breadcrumb it alway returns to the English version.

I’ve been working on a solution to use bbPress in my multi-lingual site for quite a while now and this is the one issue left.

I do not translate the forums because I want the English topics displayed on all different language pages. However I want to achieve that the visitor is returning to /nl/supportforum/ (when the site is in Dutch) instead of /supportforum which is the English version.

Please advice.

Adri

@netweb

Thanks for the updates.

For now, we are giving up using BBPress due to import issues between Xenforo and BBPress. So once the corrections in import script are made, we will try again later.

So far we have encountered below issues in Xenforo -> BBPress import, to sum up:

1) Sometimes scripts are automatically stopped and script not start automatically.
2) Currently, lots of data is still pending to import in BBPress but the script is not running and in tools bottom section I can see only “Starting Conversion” and loader.
3) After script stopped it will taking the import the data from beginning so lots of data duplications issue come.

I have tried all the solutions as you suggested but none of them working in 2.6 alpha version. Still I am facing the above issues related to import the data using BBPress tool.

Hi Pascal, thanks a lot for the response, I appreciate your time. 🙂

I should have mentioned that I am all up to date with WP 4.4.2.

Here are some screenshots of the issue:

As you can see in the first image, the /page/#/ part is missing when it should be /page/103/.

Shortly after making these screenshots, I clicked on the “10 hours ago” link, and it returned me to the first post on the first page of the “Gaming” topic even though the URL loaded still has “/gaming/#post-683963” in it. In a few instanced where the /page/#/ part is missing, I have been able to click on the link and land on the correct page anyways. Still haven’t found a logical pattern, I will keep digging to try to identify it.

I will soon look to see if I can replicate the issue from a fresh install. I tried turning off all plugins (except bbPress + BuddyPress) with no luck.

Hey guys,

First of all, thank you so much for making this very cool forum plugin for everyone to use!
I do one question, and I’ve just spent a few hours studying the archives and looking for answers, but the thing is… I haven’t really understood any of them. I don’t know anything about child themes, I have no idea how to look for specific codes, although of course I am able to implement changes to a code once I’ve found it. I’ve tried looking for a plug-in for changing the font size, but failed.
Now, my question would be: Is it possible for somebody who knows close to nothing about the matter to actually do it? I’m running version 2.5.8. My WordPress version is 4.4.2.

My forum URL is http://lutrinians.com/forums/

All I can see under Plugins > Editor is:

Plugin Files

bbpress/bbpress.php
bbpress/license.txt
bbpress/languages/index.php
bbpress/index.php
bbpress/includes/index.php
bbpress/humans.txt
bbpress/templates/index.php
bbpress/readme.txt

Also, I am not using any programmes to edit the codes, just doing it in the browser.

Many thanks in advance!

[sotb0rlando]

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.
