Hello
I will use private groups for workshops of my courses. For one course there is about 500 subscriber to the private forum and I can’t imagine accepting them one by one or adding them one by one. I want them to send a request within a period of time and I need to accept all the requests with one click. Is this possible???

I’m using wordpress 4.3 and bbpress 2.5.6 buddypress 2.2.2.1
my site: http://www.estrogenat.com

Ive finally had some progress!!!! Finally getting something in the status box other than the ‘starting conversion’ lol

I ended up installing another instance of wordpress in an old version: 3.9 and then installed bbpress plugin old version: 2.5.4

Then when I did the import from the phpbb3 forums I had the import actually start! I think it must have been some compatibility issues on newer versions.

However I did run into a fair few errors. I got a few errors where I had to click start conversion again and then it would get another error and have to click start again.

It finally finishes but seems to have only imported replies and there are no forums or topics and the user accounts don’t import either.

Wondering if anyone might know why and if anyone can decipher the output I get below?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Nope, it is very definitely disabled. Also I loaded a new WordPress install with NO plugins activated (or even installed) bar bbpress and the same problem persisted.

Hello everyone. I have posted several times on the wordpress.org job board – each time I am flooded with responses from all over the world. In the past 3 months or so I have hired 4 different devs – ALL of which have flaked out on the project or for one reason or another were unable to complete the task. My project is now well behind schedule due to this. I thought I’d ask for help here instead, since I know we have a lot of members who really know their bbPress stuff. Here’s what I’m hoping to implement:

1. When using the “reply” button within topics, I would like the username in which you are replying to, to auto-generate in the text box(@username)

2. Add a drop down to the new topic form – this would create color specific background to the topics. For example topic types would be: discussion, photo, link, music, quote, and it would correspond with a specific background color when the new topic is actually posted. Let me know if that makes sense.

If anyone has any knowledge on how to make this happen, please let me know. I would be delighted to work with someone with who is capable and willing. Thank you!

(mods, please don’t delete…this is a job posting, but I really need someone who is qualified instead of mass responses without the proper skills set)

In this topic I’ve just posted a reply at 11.41pm. So far it has not appeared:

http://www.oyster-owners.com/forums/topic/this-is-a-third-topic-just-around-7-45-pm/

However it is counted in the back-end of the forum, I just can’t see it.

Also, a reply I put up earlier that did not appear has now appeared after checking four hours later.

There is definitely a delay in the post appearing publicly and on the public-facing count within the forum (i.e. post count does not count the reply until it appears after the delay).

Why would there be a delay? It is not the themes, it’s not a plugin, it is not bbpress. What else could it be?

[Robkk]

Alright just so you know I can’t really do Admin access type stuff anymore, I am following some guide from the WordPress.org codex about moderators not needing to gain admin access because they will be going too far, its something like that. I also got a talking to, to stop doing it by some people on this site to, I mostly helped with commercial products because I could find the issue faster if I am more hands on and find a bbPress/theme/plugin bug faster, than telling the users to just ask the theme/plugin author. Plus in this case I do not really need to have an admin account, so you can delete that account you created for me again.

From what I can see the downloaded theme is Jolene and you can just edit the Biker theme since it is already a child theme. If the Biker theme is frequently being updated (which it really shouldn’t), then I guess creating a grandchild theme like what you are doing would be the best approach.

[gptxffa]

You did help me with that !

I made you an admin account. When you have time could you check to make sure I have the child themes set up correctly? It called Biker Child. Biker is the theme I DL and its a child of Jolene, but from what I understood on this blog I had to create a child of the theme i DL. I think I have it all set up properly so that I can start making the changes to the BBpress files and wont loose my edits.

Thanks, Preston

[Robkk]

Go to Settings > Forums and change the forum root to show Topics by Freshness.

Then add this function to your child themes functions.php or into a functionality plugin.

function recent_bbpress_topics() { 
 echo do_shortcode("[bbp-forum-index]");
}

add_action('bbp_template_after_topics_index','recent_bbpress_topics');

Plus I swear I helped you on the forum avatar being too huge issue.

[demonboy]

I’m wondering if it is easy enough to migrate a google group to bbpress? I’ve come across a couple of services out there that offer this service (albeit without testimonials) but was interested to know if there was a plug-in or scraper service that can do this for me. I have time to make some amendments and changes but would generally like to automate the process, including the migration of users.

Someone posted the same question on this forum four years ago and received no reply…

[Robkk]

Password Protection is tricky, there is way to do it, but it can be easy to get past because of the forum permalinks. You could use bbPress Private Groups for each membership if I remember correctly.

For your second question it might be possible to do this with bbPress Private Groups too.

[demonboy]

Hi Rob,

As I said (in an edit of my OP, which you may have missed), I have tried a number of different themes, including twenty fifteen, twenty fourteen, twenty twelve, Avada, Oceanic… they all demonstrate the same symptoms, and Avada even supports bbpress (as does, I assume, the WordPress themes). All themes are latest versions.

Troubleshooting is always the first answer to most questions on here.

Before Posting

[demonboy]

I know this is a subject that’s well documented but I can’t work out why my topics and replies are not appearing.

After posting a new topic or reply my posts are not displaying unless I change the theme. This would suggest a cache issue on the WP end but I’ve disabled all plugins, including WP Super Cache and Akismet.

This is a clean install of WordPress with a new database on a brand new URL and I’ve tried refreshing the permalinks. I have tried a number of different themes, from the WordPress ones to Avada. This is not a theme issue.

If I have no plugins running (apart from bbpress of course) and no cache plugins, what might be causing this?

[Abdel]

I am starting a website called renthoy and was building a forum on bbpress however i cannot see the activity once the topic is clicked

[Robkk]

Did an update in the WP Client plugin cause the issue or an update in bbPress? You are most likely going to need to contact them to solve the possible issue.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi aikichick2012,
Do you get other notifications from wordpress (like the ones mentioned by Robkk) ? So are you getting other messages but not the ones from bbpress ?
Pascal.

[imsmarketing]

bbPress 2.5.7 and 2.5.8 do not work with latest versions of WordPress CMS and WP Client plugin.

Will work fine if WP Client plugins are deactivated but as soon as they are activated the forum breaks.

Any ideas?

I’m running this locally and installed bbpress, buddypress and a number of bbpress-related plugins. I think this may have been the “bbPress Permalinks with ID” plugin that started the problem but now all my permalinks have gone funny. Here’s what I’ve tried to fix this:

– flushed/changed the permalinks back and forth
– deactivated all plugins
– fresh WordPress install with new site, basic theme and no plugins

Even after trying that third option, with a fresh WordPress install and a new database, my forums no longer worked. The root no longer works, even with a fresh install and no plugins bar the bbpress one.

Any ideas?
Is this a localhost thing? All the database entries are there (they fall within the wp_posts table).
Is there a set procedure for installation, changing permalinks and activating the plugins?
Have I done something the wrong way round?
And why is this still happening with a fresh WordPress installation and new database?

Short of uninstalling wamp and reinstalling I’m at a loss.

[AntonHoelstad]

Now I’ve tried again from the very beginning, with all the original files for the plugin etc. It has the exact same issue – which means that the problem must be in one of the following files coding – since these are the only ones with the “bbp-search-request” and/or “bbp_search” in it.

Can you see any problems or issues with these files?

I use the https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/
to embed a forum in a page [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]
it works great, but when the user clicks on a thread it opens in the usual bbPress slug and not within the page. I want the forum to be fully embedded in the page and also that the links from e-mail about replies will direct people to this page and not the default forum.

Hello!

I am new to wordpress and especially to bbpress. I am setting up a website with a forum which is like a pin-board for my users.
I really like the “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” button. But its only for registered users and i dont want to let my users register, it is not really necessarry for my site..Thats why I want it for non-registered users aswell. Is there any option or plugin which allow me this?

I am sure you can help me 😉

[Media Cookery]

Weird. I deactivated all plugins except for bbPress, saw that the forum issue was fixed, then reactivated all plugins again, one by one. I was expecting to isolate a plugin that was causing the issue, but after reactivating all of them, the problem no longer exists.

Strange. Thanks for the tip.

[Robkk]

Try some troubleshooting. I am thinking a possible plugin issue with the menu items. The forums only being visible to Admin is the tricky one I can’t really pinpoint.
