Hi,
Can you both please give some info:
– WP version
– bbPress version
– Any plugins that could have an influence
Thanks, Pascal.
Hello! I excuse for my english, it is not my native language.
I have a same problem. I think that issue relates to long topics (more than 100 pages) too. Тemporarily this trouble resolves by bbpress’s repair tools – Recalculate the position of each reply. But after posting some new posts in topic this problem returns.
Do you resolve this?
Everything is on top of each other (the width is greatly reduced and I only see a portion of the search field and button) in the forum only on its main page.
Snippet of what I think is the problem:
</head>
<body class=”forum-archive bbpress archive post-type-archive post-type-archive-forum logged-in admin-bar no-customize-support”>
<div id=”page” class=”hfeed site”>
Through trial and error, the word responsible for the problem is in the body class and it’s “archive,” when I remove only this word, the main page of the forum looks fine.
Any thoughts on where to go to fix this problem? Not sure what file to edit.
Thanks.
Hi,
What is ‘newest bbPress’ for you ? 2.5.8 or the 2.6-alpha version ?
Pascal.
Importing with the newest bbpress importer doesn’t work. The users from myBB don’t get imported. Using your MyBB.php class also didn’t help. Where can i find the bugtracker for the importer?
Nothing under appearance is changing the Large font size of the bbpress forum. Everywhere I have looked, css is required, I am just unsure where I need to add any code required, and what the code is.
@superaven @willywonkabar
v2.6 is in a pretty advanced state now. You can download the current alpha version from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.zip . It has improved a lot in, amongst other things, importing from other forums.
It would be of great help if both of you could test it and let us know your feeling about it.
Pascal.
Hey willywonkabar,
Unfortunately, I never tried. As mentioned further up, the fix needed for us to do so was supposed to be rolled into v2.6 which was due out soon. You’ll note on the download page that after all this time, the latest stable release is still at 2.5.8, so unfortunately BBPress isn’t even an option for us yet. Really sucks, because we’ve lost massive amounts of traffic struggling with bridge options and so far none have been all that great. We moved from vBulletin and settled on Xenforo as at least there appeared to be plugins to bridge their forum system to WordPress, but we’ve found after paying and testing the top 3 or so, that all come with compromises of one sort or another. We’re actually in the process of a major development effort now to move from a fully custom theme to a commercial theme for the purposes of simplifying the complexity of everything and dropping the various plugins and custom development we’d been using for our authentication and member roles. Hoping this improves the situation with the bridge, but not holding my breath. I really wish I could move us to an integrated solution like BBPress so we no longer have to worry about hacked bridges and unreliable authentication, but until BBPress improves the methods of how data is stored, it isn’t an option for large / active forums.
Sorry I don’t have better news for you.
i’ve been able to create the (correctly displaying) test page thanks to a plugin recommended by moderator Robin W. thanks, robin!
Hey superaven,
Did you ever complete your move to BBPress? I’m looking to do the same from a 4.2.2 install, 300k+ members, 60K threads, 600K+ posts, and was hoping for some feedback on successful medium/big board moves.
If so, care to share how the migration went, any hiccups in the migration, specific thoughts about overall performance you’re experiencing, and any limitations in features or lack of features as compared to VB?
As I see also mentioned in this thread, 2.6 is still not out (88% complete), with 2.5.8 the most recent release.
Thanks!
Greetings,
I’ve been trying a lot of solutions that I’ve found around the forum but none seem to work (or are too complicated for someone of my level). I’ve even tried editing the bbpress-functions.php code and it all crashed down.
I will be hosting 3 different kind of users, they all have the same access and privileges, but I want to differenciate them between “bronze, silver and gold”. So I want that to display somewhere on the screen when they post.
I though about adding new roles and just setting the role name… but I can’t do it, I tried almost everything and nothing worked.
Any step by step guide on how to add new roles? I’ve found this https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/ but I don’t know what files to edit nor where to find them.
Also, if there’s any way to add these custom ranks some html ID so I can target them via CSS and give them a different look & feel, that’d be great.
Thanks in advance,
Hi,
Create a bbpress folder inside your theme (https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/)
You probably need to copy content-single-forum.php into your bbpress folder, then you can delete any instance that says <?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>
That should do it.
Pascal.
I’m working to set up my first bbPress (and first WP) site using the TwentyTen theme. I’m using WP 4.3.2 and bbPress 2.5.8. I want to hide the “Create New Topic” on a Forum’s page behind a link to discourage people from starting a new topic without looking at the ones that are already there.
I’ve got some php and html experience but have been beating my head against the code without solving this and and am running into a deadline. I’ll be very grateful for any help you can give me on this.
When importing every imported user has there old user id added to the wp_usermeta table:
• _bbp_old_user_id 318
You can check them all out via this MySQL snippet:
• SELECT * FROM wp_usermeta WHERE meta_key LIKE '%_bbp_old_user_id%'
So, yes, preserving/storing the old user ID is already included in bbPress
Hi,
I’m sorry, I do not speak English. Everything compiler translates.
Please advice:
I bought and installed a template on a subdomain.
But I decided for create a new domain.
Subdomain with template I canceled and install the template to a new
domain. All works great, except one – plugin installed bbPress before
adding into the menu forums. After new installing the template
already in the menu can not be displayed forums.
What is wrong?
Or go directly to the new topic screen: hover over ‘bbPress.org’ in the grey bar above here and ‘Create New Topic’ will appear that will lead you to https://bbpress.org/forums/new-topic/.
agree to @FionaTreveil
Plug in is not that usefull for a simple case (@robin-w):
someone who is logged in shares the URL of the restricted page (forum/topic/reply) and sends this URL to someone who is not innitially logged and lands in a specific page instead of the forum-archive-page. And so, instead of showing some page ‘restricted_content’ as ur suggested plug-in would, the bbpress redirects user to 404.
I would suggest that a new page is needed in bbpress plug in for such a case and the 404 should not be edited.
Hi,
I run a site: http://rohamjelvenyek.com/, WP 4.4.1, BBPress 2.5.8, BuddyPress 2.4.3, Enfold theme.
The last week 2 strange thing happened:
1.
A user: who was moderator of the site for a long time, has disappeared from users, and all his forums become visible on the site under the name: anonymus.
As admin I did not do anything with this user before this happened, I only made the WP and plugin updates for the site. The user says, he did not deleted his account either.
2.
Yesterday (after 10 day of updating the site) another user who was moderator of the site for a long time, has disappeared, but at this time, his forums become visible under another user (a moderator) ‘s name.
What is very strange for me, that the issue happaned twice, but not the same way and time, and that the other 21 moderators have no problems, are not deleted.
I use a plugin: User Roles and Capabilities, maybe this caused the errors? But I cannot regenerate the issue on a test user, because I dont know, why exactly the users disappeared.
I let run a bbpress repair scripts after the issues, but I dont know, if it will help.
Please help me, I am afraid of other moderators will disappear also.
Thanks
I’ve created a bbpress forum and it works well. My issue is when moving away from the main page and to a “topic” for instance, when I try to go back to the main forum page, it redirects to something else. I’m not able to see my Login/Register widget anymore. Nor, can a user logout. How can I fix this redirection issue? Here is the URL: http://bcgeholdings.com/forum/. There is no need to register, just move to a topic and try to go back using the index.
I use wordpress version 4.41 and bbpress 2.5.8. i have created a forum with bbpress, but users can’t login to the site. users get ‘blocked’ on a blank page at the top left corner of the page. i cannot even login except through wp-admin.
please i need an advice in resolving this issue.
Hi,
bbPress has not changed it’s stable version for some time. Things that changed are WordPress and Woocommerce, so I would suggest to also talk with them and first check the last opened tickets since you more or less have the issue.
Did you check you don’t have any issues: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-this-first-9?replies=1
