This feature is not yet implemented into bbPress yet. WHen it is, in the next big release or so, I should have a guide explaining how to do it.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/459

[Stephen Edgar]

@susfse You are using define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); and because of this one of your plugin or themes is doing it wrong and bbPress is informing you of that, to fix the issue start deactivating each of your plugins until you no longer see the message, then you will have the name of plugin causing the issue, you can then contact the plugin author about fixing the issue. If it’s not a plugin, switch your theme to Twenty Fifteen to determine if it’s your theme.

Thanks Sam, I’ll use Keith’s stop spammers as I’ve used that before. I know he had cancer so I sent some money his way and I’m glad he’s still around.

I know that spam is a wordpress thing more than a BBpress thing but when we show up maybe these tips could be put in a general forum that is closed and it can help folks.

It would be nice since I had four people or one person with four emails login in this morning and they created groups with no links about delayed ticket arrival garbage (10 – 15 paragraphs) so I went in and marked their accounts as spam and blocked them and then deleted the groups they created.

Things like this could be added as a lessons learned.

Thanks all…

I do not know if it is a css problems, or what happens when I activate bbPress this is comming up I’m grateful for help in this problem, here is what happening.

user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 1.7.) in /customers/3/d/7/susf.se/httpd.www/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3560 Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /customers/3/d/7/susf.se/httpd.www/wp-includes/functions.php:3560) in /customers/3/d/7/susf.se/httpd.www/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1196

Thank yoy in advance

Use this Custom CSS

#bbpress-forums ul li {
  margin-left: 0;
  text-indent: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

[Stephen Edgar]

Any plans to support importing of private messages?

Yes, I want to, I just haven’t worked out the best way to do this 🙁

2.) I have noticed that my existing SMF database had a handful of deleted accounts…

All of your questions in regard to this point ship in bbPress 2.6, with a few more not yet mentioned. 😉

This would require some custom development for the layout. So you may need to hire a developer/designer to do that type of layout.

But I think how slickdeals has it, is basically creating blog posts and also a topic for each blog post for users to discuss.

This plugin may help with creating a topic for every blog post you create.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/

[Robkk]

I think editing the bbPress templates removing all instances of bbp_author_link() and bbp_reply_author_link() would be what you are looking for.

You can also edit the loop (like loop-topics.php) files to remove the text that says Author and Posts, or use some CSS.

Theme Compatibility

[Robkk]

You can kind of do the same process that is mentioned here.

Creating Test Data

And you could possibly use a plugin to create forums too like this one

Test Data for bbPress – Plugin

[Robkk]

This should just change it to something like

1 hour ago/26 minutes ago/5 days ago/8 months ago/2 years ago

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[phidippides]

I noticed my site spitting out a 500 Internal Server Error recently and then realized that it would go away when I disabled BBpress. I tried upping the memory to 64 but that didn’t work. Anyone else know what might be going on?

[Robkk]

@xianti

Try this plugin and see if it fixes your issue

https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions/

[Robkk]

However I have topics associated with forums and if you click on the forum the topics do show (Introductions – for example has a topic in it). But even though the topic shows once the correct forum is clicked the notification banner at the top states “This Forum is Empty”

Hmm try some troubleshooting , clear cache run repair tools.

Troubleshooting

[Media Cookery]

I’m having this same problem, but I have not installed WP-SMTP or bbPress Notify (no spam). The default bbPress subscription and topic reply notifications do nothing. They should be sending email notifications, correct? I get nothing for subscriptions or reply notifications.

Any suggestions? Thank you.

[Stagger Lee]

Ah OK. You can find hundred of excuses. Bit you know as good as I know bbPress is lacking huge behind other forum scripts.
At the end it is your time, you code for nothing if people dont use bbPress.

All those names of developers are very active in core community. Developers of bbPress plugins are not.
Either they abandon plugin and lose lust, dissapear.

Please no excuses. Nobody force you do one way or other. It is up to you. But I have seen infinite number of times Users asked you to implement those plugins in core and you ignored it. Why it has to be plugin Author making such wish ? Despite “or” in sentence.

OK, you personally dont have time and it is to be respected. Make some internal discussion and ask other bbPress developers if they have time to adopt some plugin(s).

Give us later a raport how it all goes and stands.

[Stephen Edgar]

Stagger Lee,

The plugins you mention, Jetpack, that’s maintained by Automattic, Advanced TinyMCE is just a standard WordPress plugin that happens to be maintained by a core developer as his own project aside from core, Pods is a 3rd party plugin also not associated with WordPress, your last example, Shortcake is a featured plugin that is being proposed to be merged into core, this plugin has been bought to the core team to be considered for merging into core, the WordPress core team has not gone out and found plugins to maintain or merged.

There’s details of WordPress’ featured plugins available:

Feature Plugin Chat on July 14

Feature Plugins Tracking

We are happy to do the same with bbPress, if a plugin developer comes to us with a plugin that they would like to see merged in bbPress we are more than happy to look into doing just that, the same way WordPress does. 🙂

Here is a list in my opinion should have under Author names at least one nam of bbPress core developers. Not of things on list has anything to do with me personally, just using other popular forum scripts as reference.

Sorry, I disagree with this, if a plugin author or the community has a problem with a plugin we’ll happily help out where we can when asked. As to maintaining that list of plugins, speaking for myself, I have other projects that I am interested in and being asked to maintain a bunch of other plugins is not something I am interested in doing. 🙂

As the bbPress slogan goes “Forums made the WordPress way”, we try and do everything the same way WordPress does, we maintain the core software and make it as open as possible for developers to extend with plugins and themes, but because we are not as big as WordPress, we don’t have the same amount of developers developing for bbPress.

[Stephen Edgar]

There might be a bug if your site contains a port in the url though.

This is what I am suspecting it might be, we’ve had issues in the past with users using MAMP on Mac using port 8888

Have a look at the following post, you’d want to diagnose the issue in a similar way to that it is described here:

How to get bbPress to work on a local WAMP installation

If your site is using the standard port 80 then I’d suggest disabling all of your plugins and switching to one of the default themes Twenty Fifteen, Fourteen, or Thirteen with no plugins activated, if you cannot view the dashboard with the above configuration then it will be something in the setup environment, if that works activate bbPress, if that works then start activating your other plugins and you should eventually get to a plugin that causes your dashboard to disappear, when you do thats the offender.

I am just trying to edit my profile but link is redirecting me to this page . Can anyone help

Also to note, until bbPress 2.5 pt_BR is 100% translated the only translations delivered via WordPress Update will be bbPress 2.4, language packs are only built once they are complete at 100%

This link shows the bbPress language packs available:
https://api.wordpress.org/translations/plugins/1.0/?slug=bbpress&version=2.5

These need to be translated to 100% to get these via WordPress Update
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.5.x/pt-br/default

If you can help translate those strings then you’ll get bbPress 2.5 translations, you can also get in contact with your locale team via https://br.wordpress.org/

[Stephen Edgar]

A year or two ago we had lots of translation issues with bbPress, to fix this I got en_AU (English Australian) of the ground and translated all the things, WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress and help out on the #polyglots team https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/

The string I translated to test was the Pending string replaced with stickfinger for en_AU:

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/en-au/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=196793&filters%5Btranslation_id%5D=9251229

I then downloaded the .po and .mo files (at the bottom of that screen you can export these) and replaced my en_AU bbpress-en_AU.mo/bbpress-en_AU.po files in /wp-content/languages/plugins

What happens if you export the .po/.mo files from /bbpress/2.5.x/pt-br/default?

Also make sure your files are named bbpress-pt_BR.mo and bbpress-pt_BR.po

[Stagger Lee]

Here is a list in my opinion should have under Author names at least one nam of bbPress core developers. Not of things on list has anything to do with me personally, just using other popular forum scripts as reference.

– Live preview (live or button for another window/popup)
– Report content (reply)
– Ignore User
– bbPress moderation panel separate from backend
– Notifications
– Make topics/forums read, unread (dont know if it is already in the core)
– bbPress TinyMce plugin
– Reply titles
– View counts
– Topics for posts (very important even if not used on all installations)
– Online / Offline status
– bbPress Polls (not shortcode based)
– Attachments
– Move topics / replies between subforums
– Avatar management
– Like / Vote topics, replies (I personally would never use this one, but..)
– New plugin that makes it easy to add custom fields and add them where you need (this one is not referenced by other forum scripts).

And some more, other people can have other lists. Most important is that at least one bbPress core developer stand on Author list and guarantee plugin will work with latest bbPress version. Not in same minut maybe, nobody is a Superman, but few days after new bbPress version got out.

[geog272]

Thank you very much. I tried deactivating and then activating all the plugins I was using. I think it was caused by bbpress WP tweaks, which I wasn’t even really using anyway, so I just turned it off, and now my forums are back. I guess I should have thought about toggling all the plugins off/on to see if one was the culprit. Thank you for your time.

[Stagger Lee]

Thanks Rob.

I have seen this list but it is not the same as Feature plugins are for WordPress core. Those plugins in WP are maintained and developed by same WP core guys. (Jetpack, Advanced TinyMce, Pods, Shortcake, etc….etc…)

In an way you behind bbPress are one of them. But I im asking to twist a logic a bit. Be a “WordPress”, not “feature plugin”.

Take some of those plugis from your list and give them to bbPress core developers. Or ask original developers to sign some of you on list of plugin Authors. For those developers who dont have much free time you have some plugins literally made from one-two PHP files.

People should never be afraid to update bbPress because of few files in one plugin.
I am never afraid Pods, Jetpack will stop working with new WordPress version. Never.

My point is, for everything in WordPress self there is a replacement. Something doesnt work, go ahead and install another similar plugin and style it. If it doesnt work for bbPress, well, cannot explain what it means.
