Guten Morgen Torsten,

My doubt was on the double users you would have, but if (except the admins) nobody else has a current account, then you won’t have that issue.

You could go for a separate WordPress and bbPress installation, but… :
– Speed: If you put both on the same physical machine, inside the same shared account or on the same SQL behind, then you will not gain, you might even loose as you have 2 WordPress instances running
– Security: Over the years the security of WordPress has increased a lot and if you are careful with plugins and custom installs, I don’t see why an extra instance would be needed.

I would like to add the burden of having to update 2 WordPress instances with anyway the same version, theme, customizations, …

But of course it’s your choice !

Let’s see if other have a different opinion,
freundliche Grüße,
Pascal.

Hello dear bbpress team and community! 🙂

I would like to create and run a forum on our magazine site (http://www.1-2-family.de). Of course my first choice is bbpress.

The thing is, that I would like to separate the whole database (for security and speed reasons?) from the ones of the magazine. So I thought to create a subfolder (or a subdomain?) to install a second instance of wordpress. And then fill it with the same theme of the magazine all needed plugins (such as bbpress) to just run the community (forum) on this subfolder (or subdomain).

Would this be a good choice? I just dont’t want anybody beeing able to register in to the wordpress system, where the magazine is running. It’s just a weird feeling to me …

Warmest regards 🙂
Torsten

But version number is still listed as 2.5.8

BBPress Blog indicates 2.5.8 came out July 13th, 2015.

Why is this?

Hello,

Just started to investigate using bbPress and migrate over from phpBB.

After the migration I noticed that all my posts were from the username “imported_Glenn”. I feel that this was due to the user “Glenn” already existing. No one else inherited the suffix.

Is there a way I can easily replace the author name from “imported_Glenn” with “Glenn”?

I’m reasonable with SQL.

Thanks!

Glenn.

Hi,

1.) Please advice – everywhere Avatar set circle, but online users shows the square. How I fix it?

2.) Profile extension – I have a profile on Ultimate Member extension, but it fails link it. Could you give me an advice please? More specifically – shortcode extension will not appear in the user’s profile.

3.) Profile itself only appears when a user knows the exact link. Why do clicking on the word “Profil” does not appear portfolio? What is wrong?

Hey there,

I have made some changes in bbpress/includes/core/capabilities.php

The changes alter the capabilities of roles.

I wish these changes to survive updates. So I would like to include these changes in the file functions.php of my child theme.

Changes are in bold:

Change 1
// Moderator
case bbp_get_moderator_role() :
$caps = array(

// Primary caps
‘spectate’ => true,
‘participate’ => true,
‘moderate’ => false,
‘throttle’ => true,
‘view_trash’ => true,

// Forum caps
‘publish_forums’ => false,
‘edit_forums’ => false ,
‘read_private_forums’ => true,
‘read_hidden_forums’ => true,

// Topic caps
‘publish_topics’ => true,
‘edit_topics’ => true,
‘edit_others_topics’ => true,
‘delete_topics’ => true,
‘delete_others_topics’ => true,
‘read_private_topics’ => true,

// Reply caps
‘publish_replies’ => true,
‘edit_replies’ => true,
‘edit_others_replies’ => true,
‘delete_replies’ => true,
‘delete_others_replies’ => true,
‘read_private_replies’ => true,

// Topic tag caps
‘manage_topic_tags’ => true,
‘edit_topic_tags’ => true,
‘delete_topic_tags’ => true,
‘assign_topic_tags’ => true,
);

break;

Change 2

// Participant/Default
case bbp_get_participant_role() :
default :
$caps = array(

// Primary caps
‘spectate’ => true,
‘participate’ => true,

// Forum caps
‘read_private_forums’ => true,

// Topic caps
‘publish_topics’ => false,
‘edit_topics’ => false,

// Reply caps
‘publish_replies’ => true,
‘edit_replies’ => true,

// Topic tag caps
‘assign_topic_tags’ => true,
);

break;
}

return apply_filters( ‘bbp_get_caps_for_role’, $caps, $role );
}

How can I include them in the file functions.php of my chid theme? Thank you very much in advance

Hi Casipea,

I have one button “New Topic” When I click on that I open new page which is added from pages admin section in that page only shortcode added “[bbp-topic-form]” . and this page only for paticipants.
Sometimes new topic added successfully sometimes not mostly not added

And on other page where we listing all topics and at bottom there is one form for new topic add.
From this new topic is not going to add sometimes added.
Wordpress : 4.3.1
BBPress: bbPress 2.5.8-5815.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
If you are looking for buddyPress, then you are not on the right support forum.
If you want to add a forum and you look for bbPress, then we can help you further. The basic steps for installing are here: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/
If anything is not clear, just get back and open another thread.
Pascal.

[bruce30]

hi @robin-w, 🙂
thank you for your response,
i like the plugin that you have suggested. but this is not what i mean. its a button (Forums) that you can see in your personal profile and in group forums, you know i use buddypress for profile and bbpress for forums.

[Robin W]

The best way would be to create a new role, and not give it the create topic capability

see

https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/

and give it :

// Topic caps
‘publish_topics’ => false,
‘edit_topics’ => false,
‘edit_others_topics’ => false,
‘delete_topics’ => false,
‘delete_others_topics’ => false,
‘read_private_topics’ => true,

Hi there!

I use bbpress along with the Optimize Press theme. It has always worked great.

However, recently, the index shortcode has stopped displaying properly. Instead of a nice, neat little box that listed all my forums, it is now sprawled out all over the page. What is going on, and how do I fix this?

You can see what I mean here: http://www.themusiciangirl.com/community-forum/

Thanks so much,

Maya

[Pascal Casier]

Hi, if your forum is new, read this: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/troubleshooting/navigation-links-return-404s-errors/

[Stephen Edgar]

With bbPress the only way to do this is with “private” or “hidden” forums

• Public – Anyone can see these forums
• Private – Only logged in registered users can see these forums
• Hidden – Only Moderators/Admins can see these forums

Are you using private forums?

If not maybe your using a membership type plugin to prevent users who are not logged in from seeing the forums?

SESAME Net Forum

wordpress 4.4.1 – bbpress 2.5.8 – ultimate member 1.3.35
on profile page of every user the site gives 404 page not found.
After the bbpress instalation the wordpress use this custom structure
/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

thanx

[ZivotsRS]

Yes, it is a several custom fields in the profile (place of residence, family, interests, about the disease, etc.)
Everything I have prepared in the form of Ultimate Member, but do not know how to assign a profile form bbPress. When I enter shortcode, Displayed only the word “text”.

Hi,
The best way is to create a child theme (see https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/).
If you don’t want to do that, find the functions.php in your current theme and add it at the end. Of course when you update your theme, you will have to do this action again.
Pascal.

[ZivotsRS]

Please Councils – use bbPress 2.5.8, extension Ultimate Member 1.3.36, Ultimate Member – Online Users 1.1.0, Ultimate Member – Profile Completeness 1.1.9 (on their website, I found the answer).
When specify a custom of profiles field, fail to show it to me nowhere. I tried insert a shortcode in several placesbut no success. Still I do not know what I’m doing wrong.
I guess I have something set a wrong, but I do not know what.

For any advice, I would be grateful, Vendulka

Hello,
Wordpress is new for me.
I implemented bbpress forum in my wp webiste.
but I am getting same problem.
Please anyone tell me location of file where to put Satrya’s code ?
Satry’s told to put it in functions.php but which functions.php ?
Because,there are a lot of functions.php in plugin/bbpress/admin,plugin/bbpress/user
I put that code at bottom of plugin/bbpress/user
but did not worked.
Please, help me
Thanks

[woklet]

Thanks – I’ll take a look at those, perhaps run it in parallel on another machine to see which is going faster. I won’t fiddle with the current box just in case. Current projections show it’ll take around 5.5 days to complete which is a bit rough but the client is happy with it so I’ll let her ride 🙂

It’s quite a process from what I can see – basically converting each bbpress post to a wp post and then adding post metadata and working out all the relationships. I may write a script to run it for the hell of it while I’m waiting.

[IAveryI]

Hello there lovely Community&Devs,

Since i update bbPress last weekend. Not logged in users are able to view the forums.
Id like to prevent that but havent found an option via the Dashboard.

Can someone point me in the right direction/to the right file so i can prevent not logged in users from viewing the forum.

Thanks in advance,

Avery

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
If you use the latest WP and bbPress and also the latest version of the plugin, then it SHOULD work. But it would be best to open a support call on the plugin directly. This issue seems to have happened before.
Pascal.

For anyone interested in this, I had this made and it’s available on codecanyon now.

http://codecanyon.net/item/bbpress-thread-prefixes/14402729?s_phrase=&s_rank=4

If anyone is interested in seeing it in action, check out my forum

The author of the plugin was fantastic and I recommend him to anyone looking for a custom plugin.
