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.

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.

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.

Hi everyone

I am having a lot of trouble getting bbPress to work with my WordPress site that is using the Warp7 framework from yootheme.

Some views work fine, like the main forum view, adding topics and replies but there are some that don’t give any content back like when you click on an author’s name, and others that look a bit messed up like when you look at the list of all forums.

The site is live but this page is not in the menus yet, feel free to have a look if that helps:

http://www.aida.org.au/forum-test/topic/welcome-to-the-aida-members-forum/

I know that the Warp7 framework does things in a bit of a non-traditional way, but I am hoping that someone can help me get these two to play nicely together!

Thanks in advance

Hello!

I seems a little bit strange but my searches of a responsive bbpress-theme with very nice design that is available for buying were useless, I couldn`t find any. Who knows any sites or online-strores where a person like me can buy a responsive bbpress-theme to avoid very long adjustment from the scraps.

Thanks!

[Scrooge3]

Well, false alarm. I have set up 2.6 alpha-version of Bbpress. I fixes all the possible problems. Thanks!

[Scrooge3]

Hello!

Until recently I have got no problems but when I upgraded my WordPress to 4.2 version and my Bbpress to 2.5.7 version all the topics disappeared. I`ve got them on my dashboard, but when I try to find them in the user mode I fail. It is written that no topic has been created yet. How to fix this problem, who knows? Is there any way to do that without waiting for some patches? Well, the way to do that with help of shiftback to the older version of WP is not the right one, because other plugins on my site require it.

Thanks for you possible help!

Also in form-reply.php & form-topic.php template files (around line 68ish) you need to insert the following code. i would recommend setting up template overrides for this

<?php if ( bbp_allow_topic_tags() && current_user_can( 'assign_topic_tags' ) ) : ?>

        <?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_form_tags' ); ?>
        <p>
            <label for="bbp_topic_tags"><?php _e( 'Tags:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
            <?php  echo displayTagElements(bbp_get_form_topic_tags(), bbp_get_user_role(get_current_user_id()), 'edit'); ?>
        </p>

        <?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_form_tags' ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

I create theme for bbPress like Flarum, demo http://www.oklop.me/forum/ soon been available for download.

i find just remowe 'show_none' => __( '(No Forum)', 'bbpress' ), from form-topic.php

[gksgudtjr]

Hi everyone,

I’m building a website for my church and have installed bbpress and buddy press so that I can make the forum section.

The problem I’m having is.. one of the forum section is a secret prayer section where people can post their subject and ask for church members to pray for them.

This section needs to be anonymous so that nobody knows who posted the post but can help pray for them.

So, my question is.. is it possible for me to make this “prayer forum” to be anonymous?

Thank you for your support!! =)

[majecdad]

I’m relatively new to bbpress, but have read as much as possible so to not look stupid. 🙂

I’m wondering if this is expected behavior.

I have a (private) Category with (private) Forums which is set as a Group Forum in conjunction with BuddyPress.

Users who have the capabilities to Read Private Forums/Topics/Replies can NOT see any of the Topics or Replies in any of the Private forums, UNLESS I either: a) add the ‘Read Hidden’ capability, or b) change the forum to be ‘Public.’

Neither of those are strategies I’d want to employ.

I also use the PMPro plugin and their bbpress addon, which I *could* use to allow the Forums to be ‘Public’, but locked down to non-Members, but I’m not sure if that’s the best route either?

Am I missing something on how best to have Private Forums under a Category in bbpress?

Appreciate any guidance or pointing me in a direction to resolve.

Thanks.

Hello All,

When I used the bbpress forum user information always shows on the left like following;

-ID
-Participant
-04/25/2015 at 2:11 PM
-Post count: 4

I want to hide post count and change date & time format.

How can I do this ?

Please help~

[s1r0n]

I need some help. I am trying to manually insert a topic into a forum. I’m doing from a different blog on the network however so I’m assuming I can’t use BBPRESSS functions to do so. anyway the code I have so far looks like this

 switch_to_blog(LP_SCHOOL_BLOG);

    	// Forum
	$reply_data = array(
		'post_parent'    => 0, // topic ID
		'post_status'    => 'publish',
		'post_type'      => 'topic',
		'post_author'    => $current_user->ID,
		'post_password'  => '',
		'post_content'   => $post_content,
		'post_title'     => "New Resource: " . $post->post_title,
		'menu_order'     => 0,
		'comment_status' => 'closed'
	);

	// Insert reply
	$reply_id   = wp_insert_post( $reply_data );

        update_post_meta( $reply_id, '_bbp_author_ip' , get_user_ip() );
        update_post_meta( $reply_id, '_bbp_forum_id' , 2231 );
        update_post_meta( $reply_id, '_bbp_topic_id' , 0);
//        update_post_meta( $reply_id, '_bbp_topic_id', (int) $topic_id );
        restore_current_blog();

This code is correctly posting a topic. I can see the topic at the back end, and it looks exactly like any other topic, from the back end, but it is not appearing in the forum listing at the front end.Is there some additional bit of meta data that I have to insert? to get it to show up at the front end?

TIA

[Robkk]

it should be by default , you probably installed a plugin that caused this issue or you messed with some users capabilities.

follow the basic troubleshooting in this topic

Before Posting

[Robkk]

@tonycntr

you could remove some capabilities from some user roles

https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/

this guide will help find the user capabilies ( what they do is self explanatory)

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

as for a membership plugin s2 member and pmpPRO (its free) with its bbPress addon should be two good candidates.

[Robkk]

please read these two guides first , and hopefully they will help you
