> Do you have a wp_bb_terms table at all?

No, or at least I didn’t. My database looked the same as yours. I had a wp_bb_messages_meta table that you don’t. I didn’t have wp_bbp_converter_translator table.

Get ready to cringe, because here’s what I did. I know most people like to solve problems through information and insight but I prefer to bat at my keyboard like a monkey until something happens.

I duplicated wp_terms, calling the new table wp_bb_terms. I reran the buddypress->bbpress migration and this time all topics and replies converted. I did a happy dance, captured it all in backupbuddy and haven’t looked back. So far, so good–I haven’t noticed any glitches yet.

Thank you for the assist!!!

I was wondering if anybody had a solution to this? I’d like my users to have the formatting toolbar for posts but I dont like that when they click “link” it shows “link to existing content” and shows private pages and pretty much tons of stuff I dont want my forum users to go to. If you want to know what I mean, you can actually do the same thing on this bbPress support forum when you are replying to a post.

Is there a way to turn off “Link to Existing Content” when using the post formatting toolbar for forum users?

My site btw is

Forum

Thank you!!

I’m in the process of moving an established WordPress/BBPress setup to a new server. It is installed in a 2nd level directory named http://[server]/town-square/ which is the WordPress install directory. It has been working fine on the old server for over a year. I am only using the BBPress and Calendar plugins. Their slugs are /town-square/forums/ and /town-square/calendar/

Clicking the links to those pages I get a 404.

I can login in as admin by directly accessing /town-square/wp-login.php (albeit with a funny pre-login that seems to be required by the hosting company). Logged in as admin I have access to all the usual dashboard functionality and the plugin config pages.

I also have access to the WordPress database by phpMyAdmin. I did alter a few of the wp_options values to reflect the new domain name that I am obliged to use until we can transfer the current domain name to the new server. Those changes corrected a few problems with the links that WordPress constructed.

My question is: How do I make the links to the plugin pages work via their slugs?

Many thanks
Tim

Thanks for all the info Rob! I didn’t know about the shift+enter trick. I was hoping to find a way to avoid enabling TinyMCE for bbPress, but maybe it’s the best path to what I’m looking for.

How does bbpress differ users and so their replies and topics under “my replies/topics”?

I’m just checking my site and recognized that for regular users at “My replies” the replies of all users (instead of the one currently logged in) are displayed. As I created all users as admin for purpose of testing only, they have different usernames but all the same IP.

Hi there, right now I’m using Mingle Forum for my website. But this is becoming unstable. I’d like to install bbpress but will my data and topics stay intact?

[Matoca]

I used the repair tools, one at a time and it didn’t resolve the issue. But the good thing is that this topic has dropped down due to the large traffic on the forum.

I guess the take-away is to be very careful when assigning super sticky to topics. This was a Welcome To Our New Forum topic, so I wanted it sticky at the time, now I realize that I don’t want it forever.

What topic settings does the bbPress main forum use to keep super sticky CLOSED topics (posting rules etc) at the top of the main forum?
my best

I am trying to make a single page where users can choose to subscribe or unsubscribe to their forums (see https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/manage-subscriptions/). I’m pretty new to php/java, so please excuse me if this is obvious.

Basically, I have 3 forums (79, 80, 81). I have a button for each forum. When the user clicks a button, I use AJAX to run a php script. The php script is used to either subscribe or unsubscribe the user depending on whether they are already subscribed or not.

My problem is that when a user is subscribed, I’m not able to remove their subscription, and vice versa. When I click a subscribe button, the php code executes, it is able to determine if the user is subscribed, and the if statement executes properly. My problem is that bbp_add_user_subscription and bbp_remove_user_subscription return false every time.

Any help is greatly appreciated. The PHP and java script are below.

<?php
if (isset($_POST[‘action’])) {
$forum = $_POST[‘action’];
$forumint = 0 + $forum;
$subs=bbp_is_user_subscribed_to_forum($user_id,$forum);
if($subs==false) {
//if user not subscribed, then subscribe
$add=bbp_add_user_subscription($user_id,$forumint);
}
else {
$rmv=bbp_remove_user_subscription($user_id,$forumint);
//do_action(‘bbp_remove_user_subscription’, $user_id, $forumint)
}
echo ‘forum ‘;
var_dump ($forum);
echo ‘subscribed ‘;
var_dump ($subs);
echo ‘add ‘;
var_dump ($add);
echo ‘remove ‘;
var_dump ($rmv);
echo ‘foruminteger ‘;
var_dump ($forumint);
exit;
}
?>
<?php

<!– initiate all buttons –>
<button id=”790″ class=”button” onclick=”Subscriber(‘790’)”>Subscribe</button><br><br>
<button id=”800″ class=”button” onclick=”Subscriber(‘800’)”>Subscribe</button><br><br>
<button id=”810″ class=”button” onclick=”Subscriber(‘810’)”>Subscribe</button><br><br>

<!– change button text on load based on user subscription –>

<script>
$( document ).ready(function() {
$( “.button” ).click(function() {
var ForumID = $(this).attr(“id”)/10;
$.ajax({
//url: ”, // url is empty because I’m working in the same file
data: {‘action’: ForumID},
type: ‘post’,
success: function(result) {
alert(“action performed successfully”); //this alert is fired
$(‘div#result’).text(‘Button clicked: ‘ + result);
}
});
});
});
</script>

Hello, I have bbpress in my blog, well, i want to put login with facebook,twitter and google. I dowload social login and wp social login, but I can not see nothing, i can not see any logo, and nothing, It is like I have install but do not appeare in any places, I configurate all plugins (I try both).

Why I can not see the login with this plugins?

I tried to create two pages with [bbp-login and bbp-register] but nothing, I can not see nothing for registrer or login.

[Stephen Edgar]

Do you have a wp_bb_terms table at all?

You should have a table setup similar to this:

(This is my BP 1.6.x database I use for testing bbPress imports, it should be pretty much what I’d expect your setup should also look like)

[KeithAdv]

Thanks for responding, Stephen!

Yeah, I agree that the converter is a pain! I was excited because I had gotten past that step (I think). My unexpected brickwall is between BuddyPress and bbPress.

The complete process I used is one that I originally documented here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-i-got-import-from-ning-to-work-for-me

tl/dr answer: I used BuddyPress 1.6.1 and the latest version of bbPress. I installed only BuddyPress during the Ning migration. After that was complete and looked good, I let BuddyPress update to its latest version and installed the latest version of bbPress. All topics AND replies existed at that point. I did the final migration from BuddyPress to bbPress and all replies disappeared.

I don’t know either of these two plugins well yet but the only clue I have is the wp_bb_terms error message. Perhaps the migration is failing at that point and causing the replies to become disconnected. I just don’t know.

It’s so frustrating to be THIS close!

[Stephen Edgar]

I don’t like the Ning to BuddyPress converter, been there done that, tried to help fix it and all 😉

I’m pretty sure this relates to which version of bbPress you are using when doing the import, what version of bbPress are you using in BuddyPress 1.6? Is it the “included” bbPress 1.x using just “group forums” or do you have bbPress 2.x installed and activated here as well?

The Table 'foo.wp_bb_terms' doesn't exist] is a bbPress 1.x table, bbPress 2.x does not have this table.

Hello, I’m setting up a forum in my site using bbpress 2.5.8.

I’ve set the permalinks to include the post-name and it works fine with forums and topics, however when I see the permalinks of the replies these are set with the id (eg. site/forums/reply/6117) and these replies don’t have a title.

How can I set the title to be as some others I’ve seen: reply-to-topic and use this in the URL instead of the ID (eg. theme-fusion.com/forums/reply/reply-to-how-to-change-language-of-avada-theme/) in case I want google to index the replies?

Thanks in advance.

[Robkk]

Sounds kind of neat for threaded replies, make a feature request in the bbPress trac.

Login and create a ticket.

So it is just the normal Forum notifications in bbPress, that users have to manually subscribe to each forum and not any other plugin that might of had their settings modified?

[Robkk]

Works when I tested it on my test site.

Try some troubleshooting to see what could be causing the issue.

Troubleshooting

[Robkk]

Subscriber makes sense for a default WordPress role since WordPress was just for blogs, so the default registrant role would be a subscriber to see your blog posts.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities

Try creating a test user by manually doing so with an additional email you may have in the WordPress Register form. Then see what the forum role is. If it is blank still, make a test forum post to see if it changes.

You can also try some troubleshooting if something is messing with the forum role being set.

Notification emails to administrators for new topics and replies have been arriving in our emails, but Content: is missing the text, it is blank. This started 9/9/15, about 4 hours after the last ok notification.

The format of the notification emails is still correct, they are grabbing the topic title, the correct topic url and the “posted by” but the content is missing.

I checked the Forum settings in Settings and all settings are correct, have not changed. I re-saved them in case there was a hiccup but that did not change anything.

I see that someone else reported this about a year ago but wasn’t able to have any success fixing it.
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/notification-still-not-being-displayed/

I was thinking it might be helpful to run one or more Repairs, but I thought I had better check here first before just randomly clicking on “repairs” in an effort to fix this.

Any suggestions you can provide will be helpful. We really really depend on these bbPress notifications. We provide 24/7 assistance to dog owners who have very sick dogs and the emails are a critical part of doing that.
thank you, matoca

So I am new to bbPress. I am on the Kleo theme along with BuddyPress and iMember360.

I have automatically set all my users to spectator when registered, and I am going to setup a script to switch them to participant later.

But right now, I notice spectators can post! From what I have read, spectators should only be able to spectate.

I haven’t messed around with bbPress except for adding the visual editor, and styling the attach link modal.

What’s the deal?

[regeisle]

I’m having all sorts of html code show up as part of bbpress email notifications. Worst when the text is pasted in from other webpages or emails, but that’s unavoidable with lots of people using a forum.

Even random   characters when someone types directly in the editor.

I’m using wordpress’s built in mce editor with only visual mode available. Latest versions of wp and bb. Are there any solutions to fix this?

Example:

Thanks in advance! Rich

This does not have to do with bbPress…but.

If Drupal was your first CMS read this guide.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Importing_Content#Drupal

You may need to hire a developer again if you had more customizations created then just migrating from one CMS to another.

Yeah you can insert a shortcode on the forum index page using some hooks that bbPress provides.

bbp_template_after_forums_loop

Here is a code snippet that will do what you are looking for though.

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

For the freshness link it should link to whatever was the last activity, with that either being a reply or a topic created. If you want you can filter the forum freshness link to just show topics I guess. The filter is bbp_get_forum_freshness_link
