For any code you can create anonymous (i.e. You do not require a GitHub account) and paste your code here https://gist.github.com it makes the code much easier to read than posting here on bbPress.org.
The 4 tables would be wbb1_board, wbb1_thread, wbb1_post and wcf1_user
Open up phpMyAdmin on your install, navigate to the database, click one of the 4 tables I listed above, then click structure, take a screen shot of similar to this example here.
Installed bbpress through wordpress and everything is going great except for two problems.
1. Users are set to be able to edit their posts/replies, and the Edit button does show up, however when they click on Edit it simply goes to 404. Admins also cannot edit via the Edit button without 404.
2. User profiles are not showing up. Upon clicking on an avatar or manually typing in the profile url (with my username) it returns 404. (I also need to figure out how to put an ‘Edit Profile’ button somewhere, but that won’t matter if I can’t fix these other two issues)
What I’ve already done:
-Switched to a default theme, didn’t change anything, switched back to Gameplanet theme
-Disabled all plugins except bbpress, problem persisted
-Changed permalink type to something else and then back again, problem persisted
I would greatly appreciate any help that could be offered as I really need this working by next week. If it’s something that involves an in-depth look I’d even be willing to pay someone to help, although I fear it’s probably a simple problem that I’m just overlooking.

This is an s2member problem.
BBpress uses the same database meta_key to store both the wordpress and bbpress names. So there are two entries in the wordpress database
so in usermeta the meta-key against a user for wp_capabilities will be set to something like
a:2:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;s:13:”bbp_keymaster”;b:1;}
I would suggest that in bulk mode, s2member is just overwriting the whole of this value with the new s2member level, thus deleting the bbpress value.
If you post the above to the s2member support site, they should understand the issue
Hi!
I have a problem that is related to this one; I’m also running Woocommerce and bbpress forum. My problem is the exact opposite to this one; I do not allow users to make accounts for woocommerce,
but I want to allow them to make accounts for the forum.
So is there a possibility to allow registration only for the bbpress, so that it doesn’t affect any other part of the website?
Thanks!
I want to use forums as a main page of web site, I did it. But forum itself seems to be conflicting with some one, and I cannot find the problem, please help.
edit : site taken out by mod
Iām using Spacious theme.
WP version: 4.2.2
BBPress: 2.5.7
Apologies for the late reply, this is not a bbPress bug, per above it’s a known issue with Easy Digital Downloads ā Currency Converter., and in the following topic it is actually an issue with Yoast’s SEO or News SEO plugin.
News SEO & BBPress Conflict
Apologies all, this is not a bbPress issue, when bbPress is activated without any other plugins there are no notices, the notices only appear once activating both Yoasts’ WordPress SEO and News SEO plugins.
If you comment out this out of the News SEO plugin file class-meta-box.php
add_filter( 'add_extra_wpseo_meta_fields', array( $this, 'add_meta_fields_to_wpseo_meta' ) );
In the News SEO plugin the issue is resolved and no notices are displayed.
It appears to be related to pre_get_posts being used in WordPress SEO by Yoast, this was picked up in the WordPress Core ticket https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/31231
There seems to be users that have gotten the same error.
Fresh install, php warning on all pages in site
A user listed a fix to surround an attribute with an array() , which I did test and it does seem to hide the error.
Might need some second thoughts from Stephen though.
did the issue just occur in the 2.2.5 version of News SEO, or was there always an issue?
bbPress’s last update was in April and News SEO updated to 2.2.5 I think last month.
I am just wondering where the issue might have occurred to narrow down where it is being caused.
Thanks for pointing me to the topic.
I see that bbPress is inheriting a lot of styles from your theme
bbPress is using lists instead of a table layout so that is why you see some of the bubbles there.
I see you removed the list styles from your forum.
But you might need this additional CSS to fix some other layout issues.
#bbpress-forums .art-postcontent ul>li,
#bbpress-forums .art-post ul>li,
#bbpress-forums .art-textblock ul>li {
padding-left: 0px;
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: hidden;
}
There is some other styles being inherited from the theme, but they are just for styling text and they are quite difficult to fix the same way as above.
Oh and you can delete the account you created for testing. I don’t think I have to login to see the issues you have, unless you have gotten issues around something I would have to see while logged in only.
Is anyone experienced at taking a Web Wiz forum and bringing the content and functionality into BBPress? I am interesting in hiring someone to do this for us.
Can I change me Avatar and how
Created this guide awhile ago, just because people keep asking how to do this.
https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/user-submitted-guides/user-avatars/
Can you tell me where to find the original Moderator permissions that comes with your plugin?
bbPress User Roles and Capabilities
The ‘something happened’ is unfortunately the key to this.
Users will have a role, and the default roles are stated in
bbPress User Roles and Capabilities
so as long as a user has the right level, then the default will tell you what they should have.
But an plugin, or change to functions code can change the default roles, so without pouring over the code, it is impossible to say whether a user has a particular level beyond seeing what they can do.
So you’ll need to come back to ‘something happened’ to wpork out wthat that was and why it affected.
So have you done
theme updates
plugin updates
changed themes
added or deactivated plugins
ok, found the link in your other post.
Posts and comments are a wordpress thing and controlled by wordpress roles
Forums, topics and replies are a bbopress thing and controlled by bbpress roles
You’ll find wordpress roles at the top of a user edit, and bbpress at the bottom
Dashboard>users>all users>edit user and that’ll get you to the screen
and yes functions.php is where you should put it, but generally in a child theme
Functions files and child themes – explained !
I am having trouble with one aspect of bbpress right now. I want to create one specific category of my forum so that everyone one can see it even logged out users but only certain roles can reply and post to that topic in the category. What plugin do I need for this? I tried private groups plugin but non authorized users just get sent to a page not displayed page I want everyone to see the posts but only certain roles can reply or post to that category. Thanks.
But out of the box BBPress does not separate forums in different categories.
This needs to be achieved with a few hacks.
TamrielFoundry was my model as it is the better looking BBPress forum on the web.
After trying a few hacks, like the “epicwebs” snippets from GitHub I decided to create a simpler loophole.
I created a page (see here) on which I added the following text to create categories with a forum list of each categorie under it.
<strong>Creative</strong>
[bbp-single-forum id=63]
<strong>Healthy Living</strong>
[bbp-single-forum id=164]
<strong>Entertainment</strong>
[bbp-single-forum id=58]
The lines “bbp-single-forum id=XX” has the ID for each category with the forums of that category displayed under them.
Good luck
P.H.
https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/# Creating new roles
Hi okay so I added 2 more roles by following the link above. The new roles show up and I can choose them in the User’s Profile and almost work with no problem but I am having a few problem. I did not give permission to alter “Posts” or “Comments” for either new role that I created and it is allowing the new roles to change everything about Posts and Comment sections. I did give permission to alter “Forum” in the new role Moderator-FLO but that doesn’t work.
So I checked to see if the regular Moderator role that comes with the plugin allowed for editing of the Forum and it also does not. I don’t know where to go to check the permissions to see if I can change it but I have been searching for the last hour and a half.
I also checked to see if the regular Participant role that comes with the plugin worked like it was suppose to and that one is perfectly fine although I would like to change creating topics temporarily.
In your forum on the link above that I have added I could not find where it says to add the coding, so I just assumed, taking a chance that it would work in the function.php file in my theme. So that is where the coding is located.
Can you tell me where to find the original Moderator permissions that comes with your plugin? Or anything to tell me what I could be doing wrong? These roles are super important to this type of forum and I could use all the help I can get…. This is really my first time working with WordPress but I’ve been doing HTML since 1998 self taught… I have been out of the game awhile.
Ok so I’ll simplify this a bit:
Is there STILL no way to do this? I have anonymous posting allowed, but can’t eliminate the email box. I don’t want bbpress collecting email addresses.
Our forum is open to members only, utilizing private forums and private topics. Something happened and my Participant users can no longer open private topics. Setting aside the “something happened”, how can I verify that my users all have the read_private_topics and read_private_replies capability? If they do not, how can I give them all that capability? We have about 3,000 users, so it cannot be done one at a time.
If they do have read_private_topics and read_private_replies capability, what could be another cause for them being able to see the private categories and forums, but not see the list of topics or see the topics directly?
Thanks,
Mike
WordPress 4.2.2
bbPress 2.5.7-5693
Hi guys,
In the passed I created a website with bbpress.
The default bbpress theme was horrible bad readable.
So I found a way to change the theme so it would match my wordpress theme.
After update the theme got reset to the default bbpress theme again.
Now I have created a new wordpress website.
I stumble at the same problem again.
Is there something simple how I can change the bbpress theme (user friendly)
I have been reading forums and this is really giving me an headache, all solution are based on editing files, creating child theme ccs files etc etc, all complicated stuff.
There must be something user friendly to change the default bbpress theme right?
Is does not have to match my wordpress theme, if I can just select something different that would be great.
Friendly regards,
Pascal
Thanks Robkk,
I have a plugin by CleanTalk on my site and I think this is the reason for the internal error. I’ve deactivated the CleanTalk plugin and there internal error is gone. So the plugins were conflicting. I’ve notified CleanTalk of the issue.
Bursah, do you use CleanTalk too?
The bbPress isn’t working properly on my site though, the login widget isn’t showing up:
http://growmybiz-canterbury.com/forum/
Any further advice would be greatly received, thanks very much! š
any post posted by the admin suppose to show up automatically on the LATEST POST in d home page
Most of the time this is for blog posts, unless you set up bbPress for your front page??
@amelliya
It might be that some comment form data is on the template that bbPress is inheriting.
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/
You can create a bbpress.php and remove any comment code , or you can install this plugin and disable comments and trackbacks on bbPress post types.
