I’m not using any currently but I installed a few different ones just so I could see the roles and none of the bbpress roles appear under any of them.

I used the Step-by-Step Guide to set up BBPress and it still isn’t working for me. My forum displays the forum names in a weird chunk of text, not in the nice layout of a forum, please help.

My website is here: http://swakpack.org/forums/

WordPress version 4.2.2
bbPress: 2.5.7

And no, I admit this does not happen with the themes Twenty Twelve etc. the forums look perfect on those themes.

Yes, one is from your theme, and one from bbpress.

which one do you want to lose?

[usr79223992]

I went through the documentation of adding actions (https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-4/) and then I looked up the places within the code for the following 3 events:
– user registration
– topic creation
– reply creation
I see, that I could add code before and after the “submit” button, but that’s not exactly what I need.
I need to add an function call for ga.js directly to the button.

Example (this is the code line for the “submit new topic” button):
<button type=”submit” tabindex=”<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>” id=”bbp_topic_submit” name=”bbp_topic_submit” class=”button submit”><?php _e( ‘Submit’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?></button>
this must become:
<button type=”submit” tabindex=”<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>” id=”bbp_topic_submit” name=”bbp_topic_submit” class=”button submit” onClick=”_gaq.push([‘_trackEvent’, ‘Forum’, ‘New Topic’]);”><?php _e( ‘Submit’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?></button>

How can I achieve this?

I am new here, and i wanted to find out whether is it possible to have a forum discussion using mobile phone app.

What i really wanted is to create a forum in my website admin, then different users can follow my link, and also have forum discussions using there mobile phones (Android only). I have found out that there is reader option in android to search and follow your favorite blogs.

Looking forward for a Solution.

[Ricsca2]

He says that is not supported with the current version of wordpress.
Why this option is not defoult with bbPress?

Thanks

Hi Robkk
this may sound silly, but where to add this like on which page?
Just climbed through all the CSS files of bbpress and I couldn’t see anything that matches this to edit or where the right place to paste it.

sorry for the noob q’s

Hey Gang,
Not sure if this is a setting, or an issue with our GrandMag theme (BuddyPress/bbPress theme).
Take a look at our forums at:
http://www.theworshipcommunity.com/discuss/

If you click around, you’ll see that a forum title appears twice:
Once in the regular black font, then underneath it in a blue font.

Same thing with EVERY forum thread:
Example:
Getting Aquainted – Introductions (in black)
Getting Aquainted – Introductions (in blue)

Any clue where this is coming from?

Is there a way to force an email to all forum members whenever someone creates a new post or posts a reply? Basically, my client wants all members to get emails for everything.

Wordpress Version 4.2.1
bbPress Version 2.5.7

Go through the troubleshooting in here.

Before Posting

Also know to disable caching for logged in users.

Since this is an odd issue I am probably going to ask you a bunch of questions to help find the problem if the above steps do not work.

[tarnvogL]

@Robkk

it is not the fault of the child theme, I deactivated it and used the default twentyfourteen theme, without any modifications. The problem still remains.

Maybe this information will help: In the backend, WordPress also displays all users in lower case letters. Do you think there is anything I can do to change this? Maybe it is not a problem of bbPress, but more an issue of WordPress..

[Robkk]

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.

[viragohelpcom]

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.
