I have several forums on one WP website with only registered members added to them. Certain users cannot reply to a post, while everyone else can. All users were set-up at the same time and there are no differences in their profile/forum settings. But when some users try to post, they hit “submit” and nothing happens. Their reply window clears, but their post doesn’t display. They don’t get any error messages. It just doesn’t do anything.

When I tried to login and post as one of those users, I was able to reply with no problems. But they can’t do it on their end. So there isn’t anything wrong with their user account because it worked for me when I used it.

Could it simply be an Internet connection issue (but I’m not sure how that is because they can see the page without any problem)? Are there certain browsers or devices that you can’t submit replies from? I’m racking my brains to try to figure out what only particular users can’t seem to post when everyone else can, but it’s happened to more than one person, so I’d like to get to the bottom of it.

Are there any conflicts with bbPress for operating system, browser, mobile device, etc that could be causing the issue?

What I did at a certain moment was create a new page and use the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode (https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/)
Then in my Appearance/Theme Settings, I have set the homepage to this created page.

Not sure if this is what you want…

Wordpress Version 4.4
bbpress Version 2.5.8

I am trying to embed just the forum content into my homepage. If I do it with an iframe it displays the header and sidebars which I do not want.

Is it possible?

Hi,
I would say to start from https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/ and read the subpages there to see if you get something out of them.

Hi!

bbP has bbp_get_topic_close_link function (defined in bbpress/includes/topics/template.php file) that outputs an anchor tag (<a>). However customizing the anchor tag proved difficult so we ended up using a bit of custom code to output the link:

	<?php if( is_singular( 'topic' ) && current_user_can( 'moderate' ) ) : ?>
		<div class="post-note">
			<?php
			$topic = bbp_get_topic( bbp_get_topic_id() );
			if( bbp_is_topic_open( $topic->ID ) ) {
				$uri     = add_query_arg( array( 'action' => 'bbp_toggle_topic_close', 'topic_id' => $topic->ID ) );
				$uri     = wp_nonce_url( $uri, 'close-topic_' . $topic->ID );
				echo '<a href="' . esc_url( $uri ) . '" class="bbp-topic-close-link button green">Close Thread</a>';
			}
			?>
		</div>
	<?php endif; ?>

Hey guys sorry to be the guy and post this I know its probably been post a milllion times. I am using the theme Shore for my Website because its just a theme that I enjoy. Bbpress & Buddypress seem to not want to work with this theme. I need a good forum and social section. I have tested by switching to 2016 themes it worked properly. I also enabled and disabled every plugin, even reverting back to early wordpress versions. Now is there anything I can do in the child theme to customize to get BBpress & buddypress working properly. I have basic knowledge of coding I did some in High School given enough time I can figure it out. Just getting pointed in the right direction would be huge.

Let me know if you need more info I want to make this easy as possible for you.

Many Thanks

Hi,
I know that some users switched to https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-search-widget/ because it gives more customization options.

Hi,
A previous case was solved by deactivating some plugins that interfered (like bbpress – No Admin). It could also be a roles/members plugin. Can you try to deactivate all plugins, see if it works, and then reactivate them one by one ?

If that didn’t work, try to find a plugin that shows your capabilities to be sure that you are have the rights on the forum.

Private forum, was looking at the css but can’t figure it out as the source goes like this:

<div id="bbpress-forums">

	
	<div class="bbp-breadcrumb">

for the [bbp-forum-index] then further down:

<div id="bbpress-forums">

	
	<div class="bbp-breadcrumb">

for [bbp-topic-index] so hiding <div class=”bbp-breadcrumb”> would hide both?

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
Is it a public forum ? If so, can you share the URL ?
There is probably not much that can be done for it from the bbPress side as you use the shortcodes, but maybe in CSS something can be done.

Hi all

I have installed the actual version of bbPress.
I am using Photolux theme and the forums are not readable
because of the color settings (font, background).
How can I change color settings of bbPress ?

Thanks and best regards

When I try to create a forum, I get the message “invalid post type.”

If I try to access the bbpress settings, it gives the error, “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” I am the site admin, however.

I have completely removed the plug-in and reinstalled it. I had this problem with the previous version of WordPress and still with 4.4.

Any input is appreciated!

How can I make usernames and avatars in comments lead to bbpress user profiles?

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
This is a known one. Please refer to the information in the codex: https://codex.bbpress.org/bbp_setup_current_user/was-called-incorrectly/

Dear all,

Let’s combine our efforts in the other thread, so for more information or any updates, please refer to https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/oops-that-page-cant-be-found-on-sub-forums/

I’m trying to create a php script to check if each bbpress topic is newer than certain date, so if its true, subscribe the author of that topic to that forum (I only have 1 bbpress forum so there is no need to check the id of that forum).

This is the code at this point:

<?php

$args = array(  
    'post_type'        => 'topic',  
);
$post = get_posts( $args ); 
$compare_date = strtotime( "2015-07-14" );

foreach($post->ID as $topic){
    $post_date    = strtotime( $post->post_date );
    $post_author_id = get_post_field( 'post_author', $topic );
    if ( $compare_date < $post_date  ) {        
        bbp_add_user_forum_subscription($post_author_id ,1687); 
    }   
}
?> 

where 1687 is the id of the forum i want them to suscribe.

Any idea why is not working?
Thanks 🙂

sorry – I haven’t read in detail this whole thread – do you need to do something else as well as

I used the following procedure:
◾Go to you dashboard > forums
◾“Edit” a forum
◾At the Forum Groups box deselect all groups (That box is added by bbPress private groups)
◾At the Forum Attributes box set visibility to Public
◾Choose Update

And now, revert to the previous settings:
◾Re-select/check the Forum Groups,
◾Re-apply visibility to Private
◾Choose Update

?

Hi all,

I am a newbie so I am sorry if this is an easy answer however I have not been able to find the answer or in the documentation.

I am setting up a forum on a small site and have installed bbpress. I am wondering how to remove the sidebar and add the correct sidebar for the forum options (login, register, search etc.) also is it possible to place these options above the forum? I was watching a tutorial on youtube which showed the sidebar added automatically after the install of bbpress but it may have been an older version.

I am currently using the latest wordpress 4.4, bbpress 2.5.8 and the esteem template. I did try to use twenty fourteen and twenty sixteen temprorarily but couldn’t add the sidebar under widgets as there was no bbpress sidebar.

Thanks,

Tom

Hi,

How can I change the default display name from bbpress? I’d like to display first_name instead of username by default, without members having to edit profile to get it.

Thanks

[Pascal Casier]

Ciao,

Extra icons on the toolbar might not always display correctly for bbPress. Please see https://codex.bbpress.org/enable-visual-editor/

[jsoonlee]

I’m a newbie, so please be kind. Is it correct that plugins (except ecommerce ones) are not available for wordpress.com sites? Is there any way to install bbpress onto a wordpress.com website?

Thanks.

Oke – hear this:

Fixed it I think..

As I mentioned above users not able to see topics as participant but when I switch them to moderator I figured it has something to do with rights, now bbPress doesn’t really come with a sophisticated rights management so the “problem” must be with bbP private groups (although I cannot confirm the root of the problems lays there).

So, ff you are using bbP private groups and got the moderator can see participant not issue

I used the following procedure:

• Go to you dashboard > forums
• “Edit” a forum
• At the Forum Groups box deselect all groups (That box is added by bbPress private groups)
• At the Forum Attributes box set visibility to Public
• Choose Update

And now, revert to the previous settings:

• Re-select/check the Forum Groups,
• Re-apply visibility to Private
• Choose Update

Cheers

Hi all, I need help. I’m very noob in “web”, but I was asked to solve this problem:
on a WordPress 4.3.1 with bbPress 2.5.8 site there is the problem shown on this pic

The three icons on the right are not shown properly. I’ve tried to analyze the problem, and I’ve noticed that for those buttons there are no corresponding classes/objects(?) in the “skin.min.css” file. Adding the missing code with Chrome editor (do not know how to call it), icons are shown, even if I can’t find corresponding “Content” for those three buttons, so I use other buttons icon just to make an attempt.
How can I solve? Are that css file static o dynamic generated? If the second one, is the following error linked with the problem?

I apologize in advance if I was not so clear.
