created per startup instruction.

Where did you get the information from??

As for your theme , if you are using Genesis you can install a plugin to help.

But some other themes you have to create a template for bbPress

follow this guide

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

[Robkk]

once i went into bbpress settings and set a register page and activation page.

This sounds like you went to BuddyPress’s settings, you can use BuddyPress’s register form.

For a login page you can place the bbPress login shortcode in a page and it should work.

For a lost password page I guess you can use the lost password shortcode but I do not know if it works correctly or not, or it just redirects to the WordPress lost password form.

You can also use this plugin too, but works best without BuddyPress installed.

Running bbpress 2.5.7 and buddypress 2.3.1 and a couple of extensions wordpress version 4.2.2- the issue I am seeing is that posts from other groups (all of which are set to be private) are now showing in each others posts.

Site is developer-ims.alcatel-lucent.com (I’ll need to pm with account)

I cant figure out why / what more to check / how to repair (tried all the tools)

[grayson_marik]

Hi there,

on my page i use the wordPress function to do some automatted posts. however, they do not show up. Only after doing the repair tools they are available.

This is how i do it :

`
$post = array(
‘post_title’ => $topic,
‘post_content’ => $message2,
‘post_type’ => ‘topic’,
‘post_status’ => ‘publish’,
‘post_author’ => $authorId,
‘comment_status’=>’closed’,
‘post_parent’ => $parentID,
);

$topicid = wp_insert_post( $post, $wp_error );
`

The post_meta is not set properly. So what do i have to do to make it work?

Hi Guys/Gals

I am looking to only display pages if users are logged into BBPress. I am aware that i can set the visibility of a page to be password protected however this is an additional step that could be avoided.

I have noticed there is a function bb_is_user_logged_in() that i could utilise however i dont know where i should add the code and indeed if it needs to go in the theme or child theme.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks and have a nice day

[flippyr]

Thanks for the reply Robin,

I have sorted this now. basically i was using the shortcode and couldnt see the password field however once i went into bbpress settings and set a register page and activation page. BBpress then generated the needed components and the registration page.

(I have crossposted this to the Private groups plugin support board. I hope there are no issues with that.)

no problem, you get me either way !

This could be coded, but it is quite complex to do.

In essence you would need to change the can_view function in private groups to have a view or change capability.

The issue is that I am fully tied up at the moment in other paid work, so you would need to put this to someone who would need to learn how bbpress/private groups works.

I suggest you try

I hope you find someone.

I have one question.
In the page “Forum Replies Created”, can I show my replies data only?
If I can, which php file is, and how do I change code?
Or if I need to apply certain WordPress plugin, what is it?

The page “Forum Replies Created” shows all replies data which contains my relied data.
I’d like not to show other user’s replies data.

Hey all,

I’m wanting to achieve something fairly complex with bbpress, and I’m hoping you all can help me.

Right now my setup looks like this:

Two main forums, Forum A and Forum B. Forum B contains subforums X, Y and Z.

I want all of the users of my site to be able to view and fully participate in Forum A. That’s fine.

However, I want all of the users of my site to be able to fully view Forum B, but for only users with specific permissions to be able to post there.

For example, a user from User Group X will be able to view topics and threads in subforums X, Y and Z, but can only post in subforum X. A user from User Group Y can see subforums X, Y and Z but can only post to User Group Y, and so on.

Right now I’ve achieved part of what I need with Robin Wilson’s “Private groups” bbpress. Unfortunately, with this plugin, users who don’t have permission to access a forum can’t view it – the plugin pushes them to a 404 page or a redirect substitute. I want users to still be able to fully view the forums, just not to be able to post without permission.

Does anyone have any advice as to how to implement something like this?

(I have crossposted this to the Private groups plugin support board. I hope there are no issues with that.)

Hello. I just recently installed a bbpress forum and I cant figure out why on my topic index, it says “started by” then a line break and user avatar, another line break, and then username.

Forum

Also I would love to have my topics look more like this if possible. I know it would take some PHP work. Does anybody know how to accomplish this without a whole new theme?

[viriis]

Hello,
I have a question about bbpress forum.
I would like to close one of my forums (that is to say users can not create new topics inside this forum) but I need that the topics previously created before are still open.

Exemple:
Forum (close: Impossible to create new topic)
— Topic (open: Possible to answer)
— Topic (open: Possible to answer)

PS: I would like to do this only for one forum (all my other forums should be open)

Thank you very much
Yoann

Hello Robin, in bbpress replies folder, i have a php file functions.php. When i edit this file, in bbp_new_topic_handler i have this function

// Nonce check
if ( ! bbp_verify_nonce_request( 'bbp-new-topic' ) ) {
bbp_add_error( 'bbp_new_topic_nonce', __( '<strong>ERROR</strong>: Are you sure you wanted to do that?', 'bbpress' ) );
return;
}

I think that it’s the problem.

[Robin W]

But shouldn’t registered members be able to create forums too?

Not for many/most sites.

However if you want to add that capability

Hi Rob,
I’ve had a similar unresolved problem for a while – that being the HTML and Search buttons are illegible. I’ve downloaded your bbpress stylepack and changing the button background/font colours makes no difference!?
Using Canvas with various plugins which I’ve tried disabling.
Any suggestions?

Hi All,

I’m having some strange issues since this weekend, a weekend without anything happening on the server or installation side.

BBPress version: 2.5.7
Wordpress: 4.2.2 Avada theme

Problem 1:
When i want to a edit a topic, as moderator or as superuser, and press save or submit, the form won’t save. Changes are not visible most of the times, after several atempts it works but most of the time it doesnt. When pressing save it returns me back to the topic as is should, but without the changes I made.

Problem 2:
Is a bit the same as editing. When I create a new topic and press submit, it doesnt show up in my topic list (not on the user site, nor on the admin back-end). After several atempts, it creates a topic.

The problem isnt there when i create or edit a topic in the back-end (the WP dashboard), as superuser or moderator.

I hope someone can help me out!

The website is kb.bee-connected.nl but it is behind a password.

I am running bbPress 2.5.7 with WP 4.2.2

WPengine support said this was a segmentation fault issue and not a time-out issue.

“A standard 502 is a timeout when waiting for a request, while a segmentation fault is a failure to execute properly. I’d recommend reaching out to bbpress to take a look or provide any common causes, as it may be as simple as a conflicting plugin/theme.”

I added the WANGguard plug-in the day before this happened, but when I deactivated it, the problem persisted.

Here is my forum site:

ok, now applyting this CSS did the trick

.bbpress #content {
width: 100%;
}
.bbpress #widgets {
display: none;
}

but now it is too to the right, is there a way to center it?

[husk3r]

ok, i made a mistake with the namee bbpress .php , changed to bbpress.php and now it is using the bbpress.php template, again ive removed the <?php get_sidebar(‘page’); ?> but it is still not full width

the code is like this

<?php
/*
Template Name: bbpress
*/

get_header(); ?>
<div class=”stump”>
<div class=”container topborder”></div>
<div class=”container contentarea”>
<div class=”row animated fadeInUp”>
<div id=”content” class=”col-md-8 col-sm-8″>
<?php get_template_part(‘loop’, ‘page’); ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
</div>

</div>
</div>

<div class=”container bottomborder”></div>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

[husk3r]

I did that, using the plugin my theme was using the page.php , so I copied it to my themes directory, and renamed it to bbpress.php

i have removed the <?php get_sidebar(‘page’); ?> from the code in the template but it is still not full width, and when I use the plugin again , it says that it still uses the page.php
even when Ive selected the bbpress template in the page that contains the forums shortcode

I have set up a website for a local horticultural society with a forum restricted to society members. For the forum, I’m using bbpress; for the membership registration I’m using Simple WordPress Membership. I’m using the customizr theme and the latest version of WordPress. My problem is that, with our 1st topic, the first reply is hidden. I cannot find a way of unhiding it. I’ve posted a reply myself, which is visible, and tried reposting the text of the hidden reply. When I do this, I get van email altering me to the reply but still nothing is visible on the website. Please can someone help? The website is http://www.growchiswick.org.

Many thanks,

Jo Hodges
