WP 4.1.1 / BP 2.2.1 / BBPress 2.5.6
Hi, I created two sub-forums for a buddypress group (http://ikmeaa.org/groups/kmeducamp/forum/). Is there a way to open the forums on the group forum page instead of on a single forum page?
i just was making sure you were using the right tool.
make sure you do the basic troubleshooting steps in this post

then you can try this
since you upgraded to wp 4 , try these plugins and see if they fix the issue.
bbpress wp4 fix
http://www.rewweb.co.uk/bbpress-wp4-fix2/
The default WordPress Import/Export tools.
WordPress 3.5.2 (export/old site) -> WordPress 4.1.1 (import/new site)
They’re both running the latest version of bbPress. Is there another tool handy I can utilize?
I would like to know if is possible to enable shared forum in a multisite installation. I would have a forum on site1 which I would also like to access from site 2 and site 3.
I would urge anybody to help me resolve this as soon as possible as I’m completely lost at the moment. Kind regards,
follow the troubeshooting details listed in this post, it could most likely be a plugin/theme issue.
Before Posting
As the SuperAdmin on a multisite, I activate bbPress for a number of different sites. When I do, the site gets added to the My Sites menu. I don’t want a role on the forum. Once I set it up and add the Administrator of the blog as the Keymaster, I’d like to remove myself entirely, but it seems that I can’t remove myself from the site: I am consistently reverted to a Participant on the forum. Does visiting the site while logged in automatically add the user as a participant? Is there a way for me to remove myself from the site to keep the My Sites menu on the WP Admin bar cleaner?
@gnulikeaboss
Topics will display the most recent activity
yes
but you can’t click the ‘Freshness’ text/link to have it SORT
bbPress does not have table sorting like this below example
http://codepen.io/jakestuts/details/tGpju
it doesnt even have a tabled layout anymore , its all lists
i bet someone could develop this for you though
go post a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/
like say you want the topic/reply forms to be closed on weekends or something??
this could be in some support forum plugin for bbPress, if so i will check in a minute.
Categories were changed to forums or subforums and forums were changed to subforums or categories a lot in the past
you lost me here
I guess I have to debug freshness and see where it gets the wrong recent posts and topics …
make sure you followed all the troubleshooting tips here
Before Posting
other than that it would be tricky to find the issue
if you do find anything please report back
these two plugins are both compatible with bbPress and have exactly what you said.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-ulike/
wordpress.org/plugins/rating-widget/
for support forums plugin i guess try this plugin instead
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddy-bbpress-support-topic/
Thx for the answer.
I am just trying to setup a forum correctly, with restricted areas for groups like : Administrators, moderators and the rest free for registered users.
And by the way, something to create some moderators right.
The basics things we can do with phpbb3, nothing new.
Maybe I just can’t find the right menu on bbpress?
I just installed bbPress today (Version 2.5.6), and although I have been able to create new forums, every time I try to add a new topic I get “ERROR: Your topic cannot be empty.”
I am using the latest version of the Nirvana theme (version 1.0.5), which is supposedly compatible with bbPress.
I have searched some forums and tried adding the line “define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘128M’);” to wp-config.php, but still no luck.
I have just installed wordpress, so at the moment the only plugin I have installed is “TinyMCE Advanced” which facilitates font modification (size, underline, family, etc.) in the post editor, and even after deactivating this nothing changes.
Please help 🙂
Forgot to mention
Versions: WP v.4.1.1, BuddyPress v 2.2.1, bbPress v 2.5.6
Multisite installation (4 sites in total), Directory Install – root, Fresh Install
Running:Locally on MAMP and on Amazon EC2 CentOS 6x
I have been looking everywhere for this answer, but all the topics found relate back 2-5 years and for the past 3 days I have been struggling to figure the following problem out:
I have a network of 4 sites. I am using buddyPress on 2 of them and there are predefined groups. Each group has 15 members and each group has its own private forum (discussion board). I have tried integrating buddyPress with bbPress, which seems to work perfectly up until I have figured out the following: when accessing the Group 1 on site1 I can see the forum assigned to the group, but however when I go to site2 and access the same group from there, it says: there is no forum assigned to this group”.
In my admin panel I can see the forum on only the site I have created it on (site1), but not on others. I want to know if it is possible to make forums shared across sites and make the users of the same group have the ability to access the same forum from both site1 and site2.
I have tried resolving these problems with different themes (default ones) but not luck. My groups are definitely shared across all sites, as I am able to see all the assigned members from any given site (site1, site2, site3, site4).
Any help would be much appreciated !
Placing the bbpress.css in my theme’s folder did not work. Everything (Forums, Sub-Forums, Topics, etc.) Displays as Unordered lists. I will look at the plugin.
ok, you should not change the default bbpress.css as this gets trashed by upgrades
you should put the bbpress.css file into your theme, and preferably a child theme, as otherwise theme upgrades will delete it.
See
functions-files-and-child-themes-explained
you could also use
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-style-pack
which may well do all that you want, and isn’t lost when bbpress or themes are upgraded
The first time, I went step by step through the bbpress.css file and made my styling changes. The first time lasted about two-three weeks and an upgrade trashed the changes by overwriting the file with the default.
The second time I installed bbPress on my local development site, went through and made my changes. I then uploaded the file to the live server. To my knowledge it has not been upgraded but a couple of weeks in and the install reverts to it’s default. A quick scan of the bbpress.css shows none of the changes I made.
ok, the back to discussions link is being put in either by your theme or by a plugin (maybe buddypress)
SO
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
and have you upgraded bbpress twice recently?
@manavforum
again the same as for bbpress – but you can use the bbpress login widget or use
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
@awpt – can you help us to help others who may have this issue.
Did you have user role editor already? – so that this plugin might be the one having the issue?
If not what other plugins did you have?
And if you installed it just to fix, what exactly did you do one you have installed it, is it just a reset?
By the way for your information bbpress doesn’t have it own tables, it uses the custom post types of forum, topic and reply.
