add this to your child theme functions.php or install the plugin below.

function bbp_reverse_reply_order( $query = array() ) {
    $query['order']='DESC';
    return $query;
}
add_fiter('bbp_has_replies_query','bbp_reverse_reply_order');

Hey,
Trying to do the vBulletin 4.x converter to bbPress. Now, in the import forums of bbPress, there is “vbulletin 3x” and “vBulletin”. I read here that the “vBulletin” option is the one to choose for v4.x

When I attempt to do the conversion, I get the following error that prevents it from running – can someone help on this?

WordPress database error: [Table ‘twcadmin_twc_vbulletin.wp_forumsuser’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT convert(user.userid USING “utf8”) AS userid,convert(user.password USING “utf8”) AS password,convert(user.salt USING “utf8”) AS salt,convert(user.username USING “utf8”) AS username,convert(user.email USING “utf8”) AS email,convert(user.homepage USING “utf8”) AS homepage,convert(user.joindate USING “utf8”) AS joindate,convert(user.aim USING “utf8”) AS aim,convert(user.yahoo USING “utf8”) AS yahoo,convert(user.icq USING “utf8”) AS icq,convert(user.msn USING “utf8”) AS msn,convert(user.skype USING “utf8”) AS skype FROM wp_forumsuser AS user LIMIT 0, 50

No users to convert

No data to clean

Hello! I’ve been importing forum from phpBB *the v.1, so converters are not working for me and i’m working through the database.
Well, – forums are showing, so do topics, – when i click on “Replies” in admin – i get no response from server. Yep, there’re about 7,5M replies there, but i guess it has to work despite of that fact?
Those replies are shown in frontend and forums seem to work well.

Another issue is: as i imported forums and topics to db – i could see them both listed at backend and frontend. But if i tried to come into the forum or topic on frontend i’ve got “not found”.
Open forum in backend, then just “save” helped that.
Bulk select topics, edit, changing nothing, just “save” helped that.

What could be the reason? I couldn’t find any changes in _posts table @db. Maybe bbpress uses some other tables for it? Just couldn’t find it out.

Still haven’t been able to resolve this issue. Someone please help… I really like the ease of use of bbpress and do not want to have to use another solution. There are so many great plug-ins available for this and it is so adaptive.. I will be very sad having to remove it..=[ Surely someone has had this same issue. I didn’t try to add a theme yet either. I have been through my hosting account again and again looking through the PHP and other settings hoping to find something not right there but no luck. It is so darn weird that windows users cant post but Linux can. I am stumped what would cause such an issue……

Hi everybody,

I’m absolutely new to bbPress. The thing is that right now I’m working on a WP + Enfold + bbPress project for a customer where the search box is always throwing this 403 message:

Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /forum/search/ on this server.

This is the corresponding URL.

https://mywebsite.com/forum/search/?action=bbp-search-request&bbp_search=help-please

All my Google researches have driven me to old bbPress discussions (6-8 years or so).

Would you please be so kind to give me any tip to solve my 403 error?

My web server is Apache and my WP theme is Enfold. Any help is welcome.

Thank you so much!

Hi this is my first post here, I know my way around editing code but not a strong coder.

I am wanting to edit bbpress so as to turn off the option for revision logs and have it as a default so all post edits must be recorded.

Can anyone please guide me in doing this?

I heave read around the forums and it seems everyone is wanting to do the opposite of this with their logs, but I need it as my wordpress/bbpress install is for official activities.

thanks

[Robkk]

This might help.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-role-deleter/

other than that follow the uninstall process in tools > forums then reset forums

[greenhoe]

I would like to know how to completely uninstall bbpress, I’ve looked it up and followed the instructions on many other pages and thought I had it all but under the user profiles we have at the very bottom a section called “Additional Capabilities” and next to it you can see the user role. Here is a screenshot of it

I have tried running this and it doesn’t work, I have role plugins to view all my roles and it doesn’t show me any of the bbpress roles so I’m really sure why this is still showing up

$wp_roles = new WP_Roles();
$wp_roles->remove_role("bbp_role");
$wp_roles->remove_role("bbp_blocked");
$wp_roles->remove_role("bbp_keymaster");
$wp_roles->remove_role("bbp_moderator");
$wp_roles->remove_role("bbp_participant");
$wp_roles->remove_role("bbp_spectator");

[fmckinnon]

OK – so there’s no widget or plugin to easily display the RSS feeds for bbPress then?

[fmckinnon]

DOh – sorry about that – I guess the staging URL redirect didn’t work like that.
You can just go to:
http://www.theworshipcommunity.com/staging/forums

I know I can add a text widget and use some RSS icons and build links, but I’m curious where these feeds come from here in the sidebar at bbpress.org:

Feeds

All Recent Posts
All Recent Topics

I’ve searched the plugins and don’t see anything. I feel like I’m missing something OBVIOUS?

[viragohelpcom]

I cant figure this one out. Linux based users can post but windows users cant. When they try to post it acts like it did as it bring them to the screen the says reply to this post. It even has the post title above like it made it but there is no content listed like when a normal post works. Then if you look it isnt there in the forum. Whats really weird is when I had attachments enabled it would put the image they tried to put to the post in the media library but no post appears just like regular posting. Ive personally tested this with several different computers at different people houses so it is not IP based problem. Hosting account has connections wide open. I removed all other plug-ins but still same problem. Deleted bbpress and reinstalled.. still same problem. Site is viragohelp.com. Please help I am at a standstill until I can get this resolved. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

[fmckinnon]

Hey,
I’ve got bbpress installed in combination with Buddypress. See here in our staging are:
http://staging.theworshipcommunity.com/forums/

Where are the links to RSS feeds? I’ve spent an hour searching and reading various threads here, and see that you can BUILD RSS feeds manually … but I’m wondering where I can find a plugin or widget that has them? For example, right here in the bbPress forums, there is a “Forum Feeds” section in the sidebar, as well as “Tags”, etc .. where is that coming from? I don’t seem to have any widgets in my install that let me put those anywhere.

[Rapforthemoment]

Hey guys. I was wondering how I can make the original forum posters background color a different shade than the replies of other users. Say #f5f5f5.

bbPress 2.3.1 Bug Fix Release

i think that tinymce was also getting buggy until the big version 4 update in WordPress 3.9.

[Tonya Mork]

Hey bbPress Gang,

I just wanted to report a minor issue of a Notice that is being thrown for the hook in actions.php on line 48:

add_action( 'set_current_user', 'bbp_setup_current_user', 10 );

I handled it in the core plugin like this:

add_action( 'plugins_loaded', function() {
remove_action( 'set_current_user', 'bbp_setup_current_user', 10 );
add_action( 'wp_set_current_user', 'bbp_setup_current_user', 10 );
});

For your issues team, here is the notice:

Notice: bbp_setup_current_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 2.3.) in /Users/tonya/Sites/sandbox/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3560

Looking at set_current_user, it was depreciated.

Cheers! </>

Just out of interest, could someone explain to me why it was disabled in bbPress?

It has a couple of bugs, and it is called within an iframe(holy crap, right?) which has immediately put me off using it, a visual editor is absolutely vital for a forum software and it is not part of bbPress – even though WordPress has a very good Visual Editor as part of its core code.

Why is the visual editor not enabled within bbPress, are the core guys working on it? Milestone?

[Hope]

True, there’s a couple of mess ups in the code o_O but I’m writing directly into the forum using the full editor, not copying and pasting the text! Changing the text style using the editor generated this code! Strange! Could this be an issue from the editor itself? Have you tried the “bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab” plugin?

Thanks for your help and time
Hope

Does adding !important help??

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-user-role {
  font-size: 1rem;
  color: rgba(105, 105, 105, 1);
  font-family: Lato, Arial, Helvetica;
  text-transform: uppercase !important;
}

You might need to hire a developer to do start where the other developer left off.

http://jobs.wordpress.net/

i did find this , but you need to manually unsubscribe all the users you do not want. Im not sure if it would work with with your custom development for topic subscriptions already but you can try it.

I double checked your function , and there is a couple of mess ups in the code.

<p>
<span style="text-decoration: underline; color: //color should be here
<a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow" href="http://localhost/wordpress/forums/search/?bbp_search=%23000080">#000080</a> //color hex should not be in here
;”> //should end with </span>
<em>
<strong>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif">test</span>
</strong>
</em>
</p>

In some cases copying and pasting text from another website into the tinymce visual editor may show the html still , so it is recommended to use the last function mentioned in this post.

Enable Visual Editor

This function works , if im missing something I might update it for users that usually use tinymce advanced with it so that every button should work properly.

add_filter( 'bbp_kses_allowed_tags', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags' );

function ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags() {
	return array(

		// Links
		'a'          => array(
			'class'    => true,
			'href'     => true,
			'title'    => true,
			'rel'      => true,
			'class'    => true,
			'target'    => true,
		),

		// Quotes
		'blockquote' => array(
			'cite'     => true,
		),
		
		// Div
		'div' => array(
			'class'     => true,
		),
		
		// Span
		'span'             => array(
			'class'     => true,
			'style'     => true,
		),

		// Paragraph
		'p'          => array(
			'dir'    => true,
			'style'     => true,
		),
		
		// Code
		'code'       => array(),
		'pre'        => array(
			'class'  => true,
		),

		// Formatting
		'em'         => array(),
		'strong'     => array(),
		'del'        => array(
			'datetime' => true,
		),

		// Lists
		'ul'         => array(),
		'ol'         => array(
			'start'    => true,
		),
		'li'         => array(),

		// Images
		'img'        => array(
			'class'    => true,
			'src'      => true,
			'border'   => true,
			'alt'      => true,
			'height'   => true,
			'width'    => true,
		),

		// Tables
		'table'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'bgcolor'  => true,
			'border'   => true,
		),
		'tbody'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'td'         => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'tfoot'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'th'         => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'thead'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'tr'         => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		)
	);
}

This function only works before the post is published , it does not magically fix old posts that were already published. You probably would have to edit old posts then resubmit for it to fix , but I am not sure.

[Hope]

Thanks Robkk for your reply! Actually I’m using the “bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab” plugin, I had to disable the full editor.. Isn’t there any solution for this?

Thanks

[damarusama]

It seems to only happen when I merge multiple rss feed together ~ with the RSS:RECENT tag that doesn’t seems to translate the html entities to the right character. I guess nothing I can do from the bbpress side.

Will report if I figure out something
