exporting and importing from bbpress to bbpress is strangely one of the hardest things to do. The plugin authors have not got round to fixing this yet (they are not lazy, just it hasn’t hit the top of the pile!).

any chance of a url to your forums?

[Robin W]

We just migrated all the users into the database, so is there some other flag we need to set for everyone?

Last sentence is what we need to start with !

Can you explain a bit more about what the current site is, and how you got here

Have you just set up bbpress, and if so can you explain more about the migration of users? or have you migrated from another forum to bbpress? or what is happening?

Also exactly did you do to ‘remap everyone to the default’?

[Robin W]

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

bbpress hooks to wordpress registration, so any wordpress recapcha should work, you just load the relevant plugin and follow instructions

[ajsonnick1]

.entry-title {
display : none !important ;
}

works but not with #bbpress in front.

Unfortunately, with the upgrade to WordPress 4.x these little snippets no longer work – I read elsewhere that bbpress search had some updates which likely render these snippers useless. : (

If anyone has the updated code, I would really appreciate it!!

Hi, I’m a brand new bbPress user, just downloaded it, installed, and began following the documentation here on the site.

Everything seemed to be going well. If I click on the menu I created for the forum, the test forum page comes right up. However, over where the topics should be listed, it says ‘no topics’. But I did create a topic, again, following the instructions.

Can anyone tell me what I might have done wrong?

TIA,
Martin

hi, i’m running WP 3.9.2 with bbPress 2.5.6

when viewing a user’s profile, clicking on the links ‘Topics started’ & ‘Replies created’ do not list the topic/thread titles, even though there is a post count.

does anyone know why is that, and where may i start looking to rectify it?

thanks 🙂

[pazzaglia]

Thanks, that’s more than I can do – so Installed Plug-in Organizer and that helps me to make sure that any bbpress anything loads only when someone is in the /forums/ directory.

Ciao,

I tried three plug-ins from the WordPress repository and all of them send Text e-mails for bbpress notifications.

– bbPress Notify
– bbPress Notifications
– bbPress Custom Reply Notifications*

I also tried Satollo’s bbpress plug-in, Satollo x bbPress, which DOES send HTML e-mails and is available only on his website (not in the repository) but it’s a little buggy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t but every time someone submits a comment they get a page with php warnings and errors-eeek!

I’m only a PHP tweaker, not writer, and cannot make out the spaghetti code of the three robust plug-ins to find where and how to add the information that the notification should go out in HTML.

Any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks!

Someone suggested that I install bbpress on a new wordpress install on a subdomain, rather than on my main blog. Is this necessary? I already have 50,000+ visits per month to my blog, so I anticipate high traffic to the forum also.

The first basketball is given by a div class of ‘page-title’
The second basketball is given by a div class of ‘entry-title’

so you could try

#bbpress-forums .entry-title {
display : none !important ;
}

in your child theme css

WP 4.1.1
bbPress 2.5.6

My forums are marked as Private. My members have the forum role of Participant. They can see the private forums, but are unable to see the underlying topics. The counts are there, but when the forum is opened, they receive the message “Oh bother! No topics were found here!”.

Using the plugin “bbPress Advanced Capabilities”, I see the following.

View private forums : Allow
View private topics : Denied
View private replies : Denied

So I use the above plugin to change the Denied to Allow for a particular user. It has no effect. I have also done the repair to remap everyone to the default, which is Participant. The private topics are also not appearing in the Twenty Fourteen theme.

Why is this happening if private forums are supposed to be available to logged in members? How can I correct this for my 3,000 members? We just migrated all the users into the database, so is there some other flag we need to set for everyone?

@gptxffa

[Robkk]

This should help.

you can add the bbpress post type to the default wordpress search.

copy this into your child theme functions.php or a functionality plugin

/**
 * Include bbPress 'topic' custom post type in WordPress' search results
 */
function ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search( $topic_search ) {
	$topic_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
	return $topic_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search' );

/**
 * Include bbPress 'reply' custom post type in WordPress' search results
 */
function ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search( $reply_search ) {
	$reply_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
	return $reply_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_reply_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search' );

function ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search( $forum_search ) {
$forum_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
return $forum_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_forum_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search' );

[Robkk]

are you trying to hook a function/apply a filter to the content area of a bbPress post types??

[Robkk]

troubleshoot the problem using what is explained in this link in general issues.

@andrew55

bbPress should do this now by default like this site has it.

[mel77]

Just installed bbPress for the first time and set up a few test forums. On the forums list page the page title (which is named Forums) links to the last created forum. How can I make it so the page title is not a link?

[Robkk]

well i dont see your site using bbPress anymore, but i dont know why it would cause such a problem.

Usually when you see blocked it would be from some kind of security feature added to your site.

[Robkk]

there is this.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-like-button/

there is also a bunch of other like/voting plugins that you could use for bbPress.

@wuichy

did you manually place the loop-forums.php into a folder called bbpress in your child theme??

you would have to do it manually.

Hi all,

I have slowly developed my own theme for bbPress + WordPress, and it has been a sharp learning curve trying to get my head around the code for WordPress. Anyway, I am having an issue where I can drill down into a topic, however, no posts are ever displayed. The only thing that is displayed on screen is the “Add new Reply” GUI.

I am essentially wondering, why is this happening, and how can I fix it? I have tried to replicate the same problem on the default wordpress themes and they work fine, so – what have I managed to do with my theme that has broken everything?

Any help would be appreciated,
