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. 😉

[dutchnerd]

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/

[Robkk]

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/
