@kellygree

but when I try to register it direct me to my wordpress login page

ive looked into this and its normal, its because the register form functionality isnt really finished

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2137

you can use the default WordPress registration pages if you want they are fine for user registration for all your users, and you could customize the default WordPress registration pages with some other plugins too.

if you want dedicated front-end forms use a plugin like this

https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-my-login/

our login shortcode [bbp-login] works fine though.

I understand what u are saying, but that is not what I mean, what I mean is,i have bbpress on my site, I create a forum for students, but if they try to login to the forum, it direct them to the WordPress login screen http://studentalarm.org/wp-login.php , what can I do to change that, click here and see
I don’t want it to direct to the WordPress screen
I want it to stay on my site.
thanks

I found the culprit. I don’t know how I missed it before, but by default a registered user is added as a participant. This toggle was forcing me on the site, even when I removed myself.

I can hack the plugin and set that as false by default. I’ll just need to remember to fix that every time the plugin updates, and I’ll need to let users know that they need to add a forum role to their users (which shouldn’t be a big deal).

Looks like I can do that on bbpress/includes/admin/settings/line 532 changing the true to false.

<input name="_bbp_allow_global_access" id="_bbp_allow_global_access" type="checkbox" value="1" <?php checked( bbp_allow_global_access( true ) ); bbp_maybe_admin_setting_disabled( '_bbp_allow_global_access' ); ?> />

I can understand why it’s set this way. It does make the plugin work “out of the box” in a way that users would otherwise need to sort through what is already a very intricate settings panel.

it seems bbpress uses user_nicename to mention (AT) users, how to modify the code to change it to mention users through display_name (I can make sure each user has a unique display_name during signup).

LS,

Since the last update of wordpress (4.1 -> 4.2) there are no more problems with my site.
I updated bbpress to 2.5.7 and it is working fine.

Thanks for your time and support

Alex

[OliverEggertsen]

It’s working again after updating both WordPress and BBPress again.

But thanks for the help guys.

the post rating plugin in that topic is broken.

there are better alternatives of the plugins in that topic though

have a search here

Plugins

We also want to be able to add different categories and/or tags to each post.

your can put forums in categories, and topics can have tags already . Are you looking for something different??

[Robin W]

Not native, you may find some plugins eg

Introducing plugins for Quotes, Ratings and Unread Posts

[Flick]

Hey Robin,

Thanks for your quick response! After alot of debugging and going crazy it seems that Groups and bbPress do in fact get along very well!

The issue was mod_security on the server and the hosts fixed it! So we can mark another one as resolved! Thanks for replying anyway 🙂

1. Create folder bbpress-permalinks-with-id in wp-content/plugins dir.
2. Download 1.0.3 version github . com / korobochkin/bbpress-permalinks-with-id/releases/tag/v1.0.3 (remove spaces bbPress forum doesn’t allow publish links)
3. Unpack archive.
4. Put plugin folder content into the bbpress-permalinks-with-id.
5. Activate plugin.
6. Flush rules by visiting /wp-admin/options-permalink.php page.

And after this in all bbpress permalinks for topics and forums will be using ID’s instead of slugs.

[loen010]

@netweb thanks for looking into it. its true you can browse my site, but thats because i installed a previous version of bbpress. otherwise my site wasnt visible for anyone.

kindly

Alex

Tried the import a couple of more times, played with the row limit and delay time settings and no change. Just takes longer.

Also noticed it is always the same posts that are affected. Just haven’t been able to figure out a common thread.

One other thing to add, this was originally an SMF form that was converted to simplepress a year or two ago when I couldn’t get SMF converted to bbpress properly.

[yoshimitsu1234]

While trying the trial and error method of disabling the plugin, I was using tools.pingdom.com/fpt/ to test the website from different server location each time whether it is working or not. And each time it showed a blank page.
I didn’t try switching back to default theme.
Going back to bbpress 2.5.6 made everything fine.
Cpanel error log was totally empty.

Did you know bbPress has had a JSON API available for ~2 years?

Well, not quite, if you use Jetpack and enable the WordPress.com JSON API:
Custom post type and metadata support in the REST API

Because we love bbPress, we’ve bundled in support for bbPress and the REST API directly into Jetpack, so that you can read, write and edit bbPress forums, topics and replies right out of the box. You can also use this file as an example on how to bundle support in your own plugins or themes.

Anyways, as you state in your post you’ve seen the work Brent has done, once I get some time and a few other interested parties we’d like to look at incorporating this into bbPress core 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

I can’t reproduce this issue at all 🙁

Did you try switching back to a default theme? Twenty Fourteen or Fifteen before rolling back bbPress to 2.5.6?

Any change you have a detailed error message? Anything in your web server logs that may help us track it down?

Doesn’t matter what i try I can’t seem to reproduce it.

Theoretically, your saying if a logged out users views the site it breaks, is this also the case for any visitor visiting your site for the first time?

For what it’s worth I have started on a bbPress app.

It’s a personal project and one that I want to do to hone my Android development skills (I am a professional developer, but have no Java experience!!). It’s something I will continue with regardless of other commercial implementations.

The idea is that you can add any number of bbPress sites, once the WP REST API is in core you won’t need any additional plugins for it to work. I’d also like to make it easy for others to produce a custom / branded app that works for their own site only.

You can find out more here:

WordPress JSON Rest API bbPress and Android

I will host on GitHub once I have some basics in place.

This will be Android only, cos hey, nice for Android to have exclusives for a change ;). I’m sure someone will do an iOS one someday…
