This is the issue

[Be-Sting]

I just completed building my forums in Version 4.2.4 and very pleased. I’m a mere 10 days new to WordPress, buddyPress and bbPress so be easy on me.

My main forums require membership. I want 4 private and separate forums, each requiring a separate password for 4 separate private memberships.

I’ve built the 4 pages, each requiring 4 different passwords and they work great. How do I put a forum on one of the pages, assuming that all four would require the same procedure. Correct?

A related question. One of the forums is called “Women Only Club” and so I require gender as a radio button during membership application for that exact reason. (I’m in one of the last industries where women want their own forum, so no PC required.) Can I make a system requirement for joining the “Women Only Clue” automatic only to women so the system returns the password without processing each myself?

Thanks in advance.

Hello.

first of all, thank you for supplying such a good plugin.

I met one serious problem while using the bbpress forum.

I set bbpress forum, but there’s no writing new post form.

On Chrome, there is. but On Internet Explorer, I cannot find this anywhere.

In html, it’s class is “bbp-topic-form” and id is “new-topic-0”..

please help me.

How can I fix it?

I moved it to the right hand side completely using this CSS into my theme:

/* bbpress move ‘(un)Subscribe’ to the right corner */
#bbpress-forums .subscription-toggle {
float: right;
}

Pascal.

Its weird that you are getting this, bbPress and BuddyPress should work fine in most permalink structures (not all), but usually pretty permalinks and the default permalinks structure should work fine.

You did not try to edit any of the core plugins to try to fix it right??
Also you didn’t try to modify the htaccess file in WordPress unless you knew what you were doing??
Do you have a multisite installation??

I am making sure this isn’t a user created issue.

[Robkk]

You can always try a new theme with bbPress. Also you can use Ultimate member with bbPress, although there is a paid addon from them for the integration.

You can use BuddyPress (instead of Ultimate Member) with bbPress and the BuddyBoss theme, it is always a good combo.

Hello,

I have been wanting to switch to bbPress from SMF 2.0.9. I ran the importer and all looked well until I compared the number of topics in various forums and found the bbPress import is about 1/2.

Here is a screenshot of the smf url and the topics and posts in the first 3 forums on the smf installation.

Here is a screenshot of the topics and replies on the bbPress forum conversion I just did.
https://gyazo.com/a1356951215c6e98659895499ee4283a

It also seems to have doubled the users – here is a screenshot from the smf forum

Here is a screenshot from the bbPress convert
https://gyazo.com/c88588a0d4ee4095d6f6eafe5310925b

I did a complete reset of the forum before the convert. If you need to see the bbPress forum it can be found at http://www.thefrugallife.com/forums

Please tell me how to fix these issues so I can start using the bbPress forum instead of smf.

Thanks,

Randal

Thats the problem… Gradient Pixel (author) is no more… I cant find any contact info anywhere. 🙁

However, I do think Im going to drop bbpress and go for the new social plugin from Ultimate member. I wanted bbpress though, but cant get it all.

Btw the theme Im using is incantationPro by Gradient Pixel

[sharingsunshine_wp]

I went through the topic link you gave me and Stephen never mentioned anything that I wasn’t doing.

My last trial that I mentioned in the post that had too many links was with smf to bbPress direct and it still failed.

Should I post two messages to divide up the links so Stephen can try to help me on this? Considering that the topic that never got posted had 4 links.

Thanks for being a big help to me on at least having some contact.

[Robkk]

it is because you are using bbPress v1, the mesocolumn theme works fine with the newer bbpress v2 plugin of WordPress.

[azteca1001]

what adds a lil to the annoyment, is the fact, that bbpress ONLY works with ugly links, and buddy press works with everything BUT ugly links.
UUUFFF.

[wpman]

Hi,
Everytime we submit a new topic, bbpress will auto redirect to new topic page. I’d like to know what is this function or script ?

[ark9026]

Hello,

The bbPress theme “MesoColumn” isn’t available through my host, so I downloaded the file and installed it manually. When accessing the admin panel or the page itself, the page won’t load and stays blank. My forum is here. I know it’s the theme because the default theme works fine, although the inside of the folders is different. My permissions is set to 755 for all the files. Anyone know why it isn’t working?

Thanks for anyone who replies,

Dear Dev-Team,

I’m having a strange problem.
Our script creates a new forum if another post_type gets published.
The script has been up running and tested without issues a couple of days ago.
All WP + DB entries get set; even all bbpress post meta information (incl. ping_status, etc)
The created forum DB-entry does look 1:1 the same as a manually published forum.
There is no visible difference within the DB-entries. Also ‘publish’ status is set.

The only way to ‘publish’ the script-forum is entering the forum and hit/click publish again (WP backend). No additional settings need to change, only pressing ‘publish’ does the trick.
After doing this I’ve checked the DB/Debug again; still looks 1:1 the same.

Have you ever encountered such a problem?

I’ve tried resetting user-roles; changing bbpress user to super-admin privileges; deactivating plugins and scripts without any positive outcome.
Before re-installing the entire site I was hoping that you guys know what this could be?

We use “wp_insert_post( $my_forum );” for saving the private forum into the DB. Could this be a DB error? How to overcome such weirdness?

Wordpress Version: 2.4.3
bbpress Version: 2.5.8 & 2.5.7 tested
Tested as SuperAdmin, Admin, and Moderator.
Website isn’t live to the public at the moment.
Please let me know if you need any credentials (private).

Any help, trick or workaround is very much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.
Kindest regards,
Chris

Hey Robkk!

First of all, thanks for noticing, and nope it is the latest, says 2.5.8.

Oh and by the way, i completely purged all of apache, including all of the files in /var/www, and started over.
now at least the ugly links work, but the pretty ones still don’t.

ok, and then i put all into the /var/www/ folder directly this time, as the install instructions for buddy press state, that wordpress must under no circumstances be in any subfolder.

i have installed no buddy press so far but only bbpress, that is alongside multilingual the only plugin so far.
but i am actually planning on installing quite a number, i found at least 24242 so far 😀

now the ugly links are really ugly…
i’d like people to be able to see the topic/content from a link in a mail… 🙂

can i have it like that? 😀

Hello,

I have been searching for information on how to place bbpress widgets only onto the forum index page, and the various forum pages, but not have the widgets displayed on the entire site.

Thanks for your help 😀

You would need to follow this and create a bbpress.php file and then come back and I will help you with some CSS that you might need.

Getting Started in Modifying the Main bbPress Template

[Robkk]

It looks like it is inheriting different templates for the forum archive and the single forums. From the looks of it the second image looks correct to me. It is displaying the title, but you have leftover post data from your theme like the extra breadcrumbs.

If you did create a bbpress.php rename it to something like bbpressa.php so that it won’t load anymore.

Now if you have what the file still installed, go to the forum archive or /?post_type=forum and see if the page template is different from what the General Forum page has.

The reason why I am saying do this, is to see if bbPress could be inheriting two different templates. It would make sense if the Forum archive would use page.php or even archive.php, and in some cases the single forum pages could be inheriting single.php.

Hello,

I will try to attach some images to the response.

The main forum page: is displaying correctly.

The pages below the main page are displaying the page title and a different format for the breadcrumb. I am not sure why the pages would be displaying differently as they are both using the new bbpress.php.

Here is the other page:

Side note: not sure why the topics under the Forum are not displaying correctly.

[cmonache]

Hello,

Actually I did create a bbpress.php file in my theme from he page.php file.
That is what fixed it. Still working through one more issue with the page title being different on the forum home page and the forum topics page.

Chris

[Robkk]

You can try that, but it usually only affects one specific page. Doing it this way means you have to put a shortcode for every bbPress page. It is easier in the end to just create a bbpress.php file in your theme from your page.php file. You can also just tell me your theme (hopefully it is not paid) then I could just do it for you.
