This is a great thread and applicable to what we are doing here, so if I may, I like to chime in with a question. We are transitioning to WP and BBpress from an HTML-based site. We are currently using the UBB for our forum. Is it possible to import the user names/profiles from the old UBB into BBp and let the users come in when they please and update their passwords?
thank you.
@w-sky
the theme actually works pretty well by default
is there any CSS rules you added to customize bbPress for your site??
it might be conflicting with that section.
you might have to make a copy of the login widget , and customize it to how you want it.
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
This part of the guide shows you how to add custom links to their profile and also an edit link.
if you copy the edit link and just change the last slug in the url you could get to most of your profile sections.
so in the end you might have
<p><a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>edit" >Edit Profile/Change password</a></p>
<p><a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>" >View Profile</a></p>
<p><a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>topics" >Topics Created</a></p>
<p><a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>replies" >Replies Created</a></p>
<p><a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>subscriptions" >Subscriptions</a></p>
<p><a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>favorites" >Favorites</a></p>
You really are helpful, robkk! 🙂
I have no idea where they went. I can at least now see where they are suppose to be…
In the second image down, the area is marked #8 on this page:
https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-styling-crib/
Do you know what the class/id of this is, so I can see if I accidentally hid it in the css? I can’t imagine why, as I really want these links!
Thanks so much again,
Sharon
try this
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums-list li.bbp-forum a {
display: inline !important;
}
@sharongraylac
alright
well just so you know the bbpress login form and woocommerce login form would work together
they would just sign the user into your WordPress site.
They dont have to sign in twice , but they can sign in multiple places , don’t recommend that but yeah they can use either one.
where is your favorite and subscribe links??
they should by default be in your bbPress topic header.
Hi All…
Is it possible to create additional fields for forum posts in bbPress. For example we want to be able to have people vote up/neutral/down on something someone has written to track whether the idea is trending up or down in terms of community interest and support. We also want to be able to add different categories and/or tags to each post. Is this something that is native within the groups/forums or is there an plugin to add this functionality?
Thanks,
Greg
Update
I changed to bbpress 2.5.6 and my site is working again.

oh yeah thats all custom stuff for this site
this plugin gets some of them
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-info-widgets/
more advanced search template and functions that would put in your child theme.
https://github.com/MateuszNowicki/bbpress-Advanced-Search
only thing missing is forum info
i think there is some article on some site to get every widget in a function like this site.
dont know where it is.
this should do it
#bbpress-forums #bbp-your-profile fieldset.submit {
padding: 0px;
}
Hello I am in the process of converting a simplepress forum to bbpress.
The first issues I have noticed is that the date and time of some posts is not being carried over and is defaulting to the time of the conversion. However this is not on all post, only a percentage, approximately 860 topics of a total 5029. One thing I have noticed is that all the topics witout updated date/times do not have any responses to the original post, although there are posts with correct date/times that have no responses if that makes sense.
I have run all the repair functions and the only one I am having trouble with is “Recalculate the position of each reply” which seems to stop (timeout?) and go to a white page.
Any insight as to what may be going on?
Hi again, Robkk!
Would you be able to help me with one other odd CSS issue I’m having?
The “Update Profile” button on the BBPress profile’s Edit page is bleeding out of the box.
Here’s a screenshot:
I don’t know if you can access it without having an account. Here’s the link to set one up, just in case you need it: bellynsoul.com/my-account.
Thanks again for all of your help!
Kindly,
Sharon
I also ran into this after updating to 2.5.7.
When a user was logged in, they could see the site as expected. When logged out an internal server error appeared.
It also happened if bbPress was the only plugin active on the site. The site has been running bbPress without incident before this for a couple of years.
Reverting to 2.5.6 does resolve the issue at least until an update can be made.
so you’ve just upgraded to 2.5.7 bbpress?
If so, try reverting to 2.5.6
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/developers/
Latest versions of bbpress, WordPress and all other Plugins.
bbpress uses wordpress registration and assigns the default role set in settings>forums upon first user login.
so any wordpress registration will work
bbpress has a shortcodes
[bbp-login] – Display the login screen.
[bbp-register] – Display the register screen.
or you can use sidebar widgets also
For anyone having this issue, here is the fix:
In function: bbp_forum_query_last_reply_id
in file: bbpress/includes/forums/functions.php
change: if ( false === $reply_id ) {
to: if ( !$reply_id ) {
It needs to know that ‘0’ is not an acceptable reply ID and then query for a new one.
On our bbPress (2.5.7) admins don’t get an email notification if a new post is added, but do get a notification if a reply is posted. Is this default behavior?
If yes, do I need a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify/ or https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notifications/ to handle this?
If no, what could be wrong on our install?
Besides bbPress we use the plugins “bbP Members Only” and “GD bbPress Attachments”.
I am painstakingly going through the code to fix this issue, and due to the fact that I have no experience with bbpress code, it is way more taxing than it should be.
I will leave crumbs here so anyone more equipped than myself can jump in and repair it before I do and save us all a lot of trouble.
I have discovered that there is a bug with the following function:
bbp_forum_query_last_reply_id
This is called when the update freshness repair is run and is supposed to return the last reply ID for a forum. Right now, it is consistently returning ‘0’.
It is found in includes/forums/functions.php
Yes it’s new with an upgrade of the bbPress and Group plugins… tomorrow I’ll check what the last versions I had were….
I find it so odd that some user searches work and some don’t. When I look at the User Object of a user where their link works from the search page vs one that doesn’t work from the search page there’s nothing I can see that stands out… I should check the bbPress roles on them though perhaps.
I also tried resaving the permalink settings with no joy… any direction you can point me to do some debugging I’d be very greatful… happy for you to take a look too…
My site is on bbpress only. Now suddenly this issue has arised since past 2 days.
