sorry, but can you confirm if you are using the private groups plugin or just using private forums within bbpress ?

[RobbyMcCullough]

Hey all. I wanted to follow up on this in case anyone finds this through searching..

We found out it was the bbPress Private Replies plugin that was causing this on our setup. This plugin overrides the subscription emails, and it uses it’s own code (that doesn’t remove the www) to generate the noreply email address.

I am planning to submit a pull request, but you can cowboy code it and fix with this change:

In bbp-private-replies.php on line 250 use this code:

$do_not_reply = '<' . bbp_get_do_not_reply_address() . '>';

i think any rating plugin should work with bbPress but you would have to manually configure most of them in the bbPress templates in your child theme.

you can follow the very bottom of this topic and use the thumbs rating plugin.

you could probably use CSS to make the blocks actually look like thumbs or something.

Request: Voting

there is also this from a really popular developer , usually some of his plugins are good for bbPress.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-postratings/

random list of post rating plugins

wordpress.org/plugins/voter-plugin/
wordpress.org/plugins/voting/
wordpress.org/plugins/kento-vote/

Are there any other options? Could the programmers possibly consider making it a standard part of bbPress? It does seem like such a standard function nowadays.

This really looks like it should be plugin territory, there are already so many options to choose from WordPress plugins and some quite different , its kind of good for people to have options on this.

[Robkk]

some of the themes live demos are having issues but there is always the screenshots too.

that second link is a spam

The the great majority of WP themes offer very limited customization or design focus to improve the functionality or aesthetic of bbpress.

What are you looking for specifically , options in the customizer?? pre-designed layout?? or more functionality without plugins??

love to know what you would want in a bbPress specific theme

[j0n4h]

First of all, those are not bbpress specific themes. The the great majority of WP themes offer very limited customization or design focus to improve the functionality or aesthetic of bbpress. In addition, the top results on themeforest for bbpress have broken live demos, and the second link suggested isn’t even a live website.

Thus, this only proves to further this individual’s post. I am in the same situation. Anything I want to do that is available in any other basic forum tool has to be done manually and greatly reduces optimization. It’s such a pain, I’m seriously considering switching to XenForo for this exact reason. Although I generally love WP, its community features, with great emphasis on bbpress, is lacking out of the box accessibility.

Your options are: juggling multiple plugins as well as designing your own by piece-coding snippets together, or switching to a more comprehensive forum alternative.

Now, I can totally appreciate that this is a community project, but I don’t have the wherewith all to navigate this problem, and given this has been a thing for quite some time, I’d imagine it’s not the direction the developers have in mind for bbpress as a whole.

I did go with bbPress, http://www.WalthamForestForum.org is now up and running, and very happy with it by and large. However, I still haven’t successfully answered question number 6 above. The bbPress like button plugin linked to in the first answer would be perfect if it worked, but it doesn’t (administrators can like, normal users can’t). I just need a simple thumbs up option so users can show their agreement with other peoples posts (thumbs down as well would be even better).

The $150 being asked for bbPress functionality on RatingWidget is just far more than I can afford. Not saying it’s not fairly priced but it does far more than I need.

Are there any other options? Could the programmers possibly consider making it a standard part of bbPress? It does seem like such a standard function nowadays.

Hello,

I’m using the bbpress recent replies and bbpress recent topics in the right sidebar of my site.

When I logged in from a admin account, I can see the activities from the private group foruns. But, if was a moderator or user (participant of the private group) account, the last activities doesn’t appears.

Can you help me to fix this?

I already test the Twenty Fifteen theme and the issue continues.

After recently upgrading the bbpress and core WP files, as well as other plugins we use to the latest versions I am noticing that the links to users’ profiles no longer work correctly. Instead of loading the bbpress user profile, they load up the WP author archive. Is this happening for everyone else too, or just me?

[landshark]

After more investigation I have concluded that the topics effected have a all 0’s in the date column in simplepress when imported into bbpress they are adjusted to the current date/time. I think this is a carryover from my conversion from SMF to Simplepress. So I do not think it is able to be fixed since the original date time is gone.

[Robkk]

hmmm go through the basic troubleshooting steps listed here

Before Posting

then maybe repair your forums

go to tools > forums then hit the repair forums tab

[Robkk]

try all the general troubleshooting first, if you have other plugins deactivate them, and switch to a default theme like twentytwelve or twentyfifteen.

create me a simple subscriber/participant account so i can check out the quicktags toolbar, send the login details to my email.

[Robkk]

edit the feedback-no-forums.php file

make sure to put it in a folder called bbpress in your child theme

[Robkk]

bbpress themes are just wordpress themes now.

so you could just any wordpress theme

if you really want to pay you can go follow this link below

i already searched bbpress so all you have to do is check all of these in the list.

[Robkk]

i think that these two plugins should help you.

check both out

bbpress wp4 fix2

bbpress wp4 fix

[Robkk]

since it has this at the end […], which usually is from your theme thinking this page paragraph is a blog post , yes it is a theme issue.

create a bbpress.php from a copy of page.php or single.php and remove unwanted code that might be affecting your layout.

this guide will help.

need more help contact the theme author too.

[Robkk]

read this to enable the visual editor and also show the buttons from tinymce advanced.

Enable Visual Editor

as to your + New button, i dont know how to help with that , if you already created it maybe add a conditional to the function to only show it to Admins/Mods , but im not sure.

[KrisxWolf]

I would like for my users to have the option of creating topics for the forum through the toolbar option ‘+ New‘ that the admin or moderators have. Many users will not understand the minimalist editor (the same that this forum has) and may discourage user threads and possibly replies. One of the plugins I installed was User Role Editor as you cannot change permissions by default. Is there something that I am missing within that plugin or what are the available options? Even if users could not use the editor I use TinyMCE Advanced I would be happy; though I would prefer if they had access to that editor.

WordPress Version: 4.2.1
BBPress version 2.5.7

[fab_pj]

Hello there, I am running my website on WordPress 4.2.1
bbpress version is 2.5.7 and buddypress version is 2.2.3.1.
Now, I have a private set of pages, and within these pages I have my forums and members only content. I was so glad to have buddypress and bbpress working together happily ever after, but then out of the blue once I clicked on ‘allow buddypress to have its own group’ my wordpress went into the ‘white screen of death’.

I am not a developer, but thank goodness I know how to deactivate my plugins.
Long story short, if I activate one of the two (either buddy press or bbpress) everything works fine. Once I active them both, BAM, white screen of death appears.

I know that Envato themes have been having issues with plugins recently, but I find it odd that the white screen happened as soon as I ticked the option. I deleted and reinstalled the whole thing, and now it appears to work as long as I don’t click on that option.

thought you’d like to know, this is the website for reference:

Hi guys,

I’ve encountered an issue in BBPress 2.5.7 running the Porto theme. Most of the BBPress pages display perfectly fine, however on the user profile pages and the forum details page (which contains number of posts etc.) there is no formatting on any of the text, and viewing the source code shows no HTML tags, it just looks like this:

Profile Topics Started Replies Created Favorites Subscriptions Edit Profile Forum Role: Participant Topics Started: 1 Replies Created: 0

Similarly, the forum details page contains just this text:

Search for: Home › Forums Viewing 5 topics – 1 through 5 (of 5 total) Topic Voices Posts Freshness Happiness and its effect Started by: Mrs Davis in: Member Forum 2 3 1 week, 6 days ago Maria My Needs Started by: rachael in: Member Forum 2 2 1 week, 6 days ago Mary […]

I have read that this might be a theme issue, but we’re not sure what we can actually do to fix it?

Thanks

Hello everyone,
first, I would like to apologize if my writting is not very good, but I’m french and I’m not used in english phrases. And that’s why I dont’ understand some explainations on the blog. so please be soft with me.

I would like to create a page wich gives a view of the last replies of my forum. I tried to create a new page with the short code [bbp-single-view id="last-replies"] but it does’n work when I clik on that page I have a notice “Aucun sujet n’a été trouvé ici!” which means “no topic has been found here!”

I have others questions about short-codes meaning, but I’m going to ask it in another topics.

thanks for your answers.

Hi,

I took another look into it and it looks like the bbPress welcome page has smt to do with it? It is called ?page=bbp-about and looking at the second URL in my previous post, you can see it has been adopted in it.

Perhaps is the welcome page causing the problem?

Thanks.

Best regards,

Hi,

Well, I am a bit frustrated 🙂 due to the bbPress 2.5.7 plugin. At first, nothing was going on, as long as I kept logged in after the install. However, after I wanted to login in my admin panel after the initial installation 3 hours later, a problem emerged.

I found out that the bbPress 2.5.7 installation on my WP 4.1.2 (also 4.2.1) platform results in a redirection loop to my homepage, locking myself (admin) continously out. The funny thing is that I am actually logged in. I can see that at the front end.

When I click on my backend tab in Chrome, which normally loads:

http://www.wordpress.spiritueleverlichting.nl/wp-login.php

I am redirected to the homepage, though I am actually logged in.

I have tried the following:

– deactivating all plugins, to no avail
– switching themes (20-15), to no avail
– asking support from Siteground, everything is set up correctly according to them

Via FTP I change the bbPress folder name so I am able to access the backend. Once logged in, I change the folder name back to its original name.

What is interesting is that when I log out while bbPress activited, the following URL emerges after the log out:

http://www.wordpress.spiritueleverlichting.nl/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wordpress.spiritueleverlichting.nl%2Fwp-admin%2Findex.php%3Fpage%3Dbbp-about%26loggedout%3Dtrue&reauth=1

And in my error log, I found the following script:

mod_hive matched URI – normal admin URL – with match 2, referer: – admin URL with redirection

I am just wondering if somebody has something meaningful to say about the redirection loop to my homepage.

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,
Bark

I am missing all of the html formatting buttons with the exception of “close tags”. I have them turned on in the settings, but nothing is visible for my users. Any suggestions of where to start?

My website is http://www.allthingsbranson.com/forums

I am using the latest wordpress and bbpress. I tried uninstalling and deleting the plugin and reinstalling the latest version. Sacrificing all of our topics, I still had no luck correcting this issue.

[Robert.S]

Thanks a bunch for the code, both @robkk and @undergroundnetwork!

I’m running Avada theme, with latest WordPress 4.2.1 and BBPress 2.5.7 and this works perfectly.

Seems like this *should* be an option in WordPress when BBPress is installed: “Check the box to include Forum Topics and Replies in the sitewide search”. Would be a helpful addition.

Luckily we have this resource, so thanks again for the code snippets.
