Hi @sceko,

thanks for the effort you put into the bbpress plugin but it didnt work out well for me.
I tried uninstalling the white plugin and reinstalling bbpress but the forum layout is disorganized.

Pls how do i revert back to the default bbpress settings?

[wcreimer]

When I activate the latest bbPress (2.5.8) or SimpleRestrict (1.0.2) plugin then try to login to my site, the WordPress dashboard does not open. Instead, I simply get the home page of the site.

To deactivate these plugins, I have to go to my site files, rename the “plugins” folder, sign in to the site (the Dashboard appears) then reactivate my plugins other than bbPress and SimpleRestrict. Signing out, then signing in shows me the Dashboard. I have repeated this procedure about 3 times with the same result. The site is http://ruralpolicy.ca.

If I activate bbPress (in order to use the Forums option), the site seems to work okay, but I can’t log in to the Dashboard.

I recently redefined the site address URL and it seemed to make the necessary changes to the shortlinks okay. I can’t be sure, but this bbPress-Dashboard problem appeared around the time I made this change.

I’m using the Twenty-ten theme with a child.

Any suggestions what the problem might be?

There are a ton of other freelance sites that you can try to hire a developer to do this for you. Some like freelancer.com where I do see a lot of forum migration jobs posted there.

Robin:
I am striking out on http://jobs.wordpress.net/. The majority of the people who have responded to my post send me massively long resumes and covers letters explaining how they are the “greatest developers” and can do anything and then some. Very few have addressed my needs which is in fact that I want to hire someone with lots of BBPress experience to install BBPress and then import the data from our Web Wiz forum and then configure BBPress to look and act as we want.
Would you allow me to post something in your site to try and find someone who is actually a BBPress guru?

I think making a forum private should do what you are looking for. If you want a more private forum, look into the bbPress members only plugin. That plugin only works best without BuddyPress though.

the bbpress search code posted above by robkk works fine for me with wordpress 4.2.2 + bbpress 2.5.8, shows expected bbpress topics and replies in wp search results for admins, non admin members, and non logged in users

also respects posts hidden by s2member bbpress level restrictions

Same issue – bbpress topic and reply search results only display for admin. Latest WP and bbpress.

I made changes and changed my email to what should be over at Gravatar and hit submit and get a 404 error and end up seeing the BBpress book for sale.
I don’t know if it took it or not…. It may not be allowing changes as far as I can tell

@folgerj

this site uses gravatar, so go to gravatar.com and use the same email you used for this site/wordpress.org, and change it there.

For anybody that wants to view their profile and have been redirected to this topic. There is a bug right now that is being looked over. To edit your profile go to this exact url, with username being your exact username.

https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/username/

To go to certain profile links add these additional slugs for each. So for example go to https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/username/subscriptions to view your subscriptions.

Topics Started > topics/
Replies Created > replies/
Favorites > favorites/
Subscriptions > subscriptions/
Edit Profile > edit/ (You can look at any information but not save)

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. 😉

Closing this, if you reach this page whilst trying to edit your profile please see the following topic https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-org-profile-edit-redirect-error/

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?

@xianti

Try this plugin and see if it fixes your issue
