Hey,

I have edit the feedback-no-search.php inside my child theme stored in child-theme > bbpress
This is what the file looks like:
https://gist.github.com/mvaneijgen/83b2bdf325172ae1536b

No permission changes.
Yes they can and if I change the short code to [bbp-topic-form forum_id=221] everything works fine
Don’t know what troubleshooting to try.

@mvaneijgen

i just tested out the shortcode an i get no issues , i checked with a participant and keymaster roles.

i usually use the topic form page on this site too when i created topics and it seems to work well here too since im a participant.

Create New Topic

have you edited the template files specifically the ones for the topic form??
have you edited role permissions??
can your users see the message on normal topic forms that should display under a forum list.
have you done the usual troubleshooting??

[Robkk]

you have a link to your dissuasion board already in your menu

i mean if you didnt put the shortcode into that page already , the forums should show up every time you hit it.

use this shortcode

[bbp-forum-index]

https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

other than putting the shortcode

usually when visiting a site the forums archive is usually yoursite.com/forums.

so use the links part in the menus section and add a custom link

Hello all,

I need to import in mass members but from other sources. I have a csv file. I am under WordPress 4.1.1. and last version of bbPress. I thing that i’ve tried 10 plug in since since morning without success. The last i was hoping to save me is “buddypress members import”. I’ve bought it 5 hours ago and still not have any confirmation mail neither download link to test it. Please do you have any advice for me that i could import my members ? thank you very much in advance for any help. Ann

[Robkk]

here is the list of all bbPress shortcodes

codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

you could develop/hire a developer to use something like this

<?php wp_get_current_user(); ?>

codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_current_user

an alternative would be to use #3

codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/

Redirecting back to the default wordpress login pages is a common complaint , but there are better plugins that handle frontend authentication then the default bbPress ones , id say maybe use another plugin for frontend authentication.

other than that its not a total issue, those default WordPress login pages arent just for admins they are suppose to be used for all your users.

the default from name is wordpress , you can customize it with filters though.

add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', 'your_email' );
function your_email( $original_email_address )
{
	return 'your@email-address.com';
}

add_filter( 'wp_mail_from_name', 'custom_wp_mail_from_name' );
function custom_wp_mail_from_name( $original_email_from )
{
	return 'Your sites name';
}

this is a weird issue , could a conflicting plugin or a messed up install, follow this if it helps any

General Issues
bbPress works with many themes and plugins, but it is impossible to test all combinations, and many issues are caused by conflicts with plugins and themes.
Therefore before posting, please test if your issue is resolved by the following

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.

If the above produces an issue:

If it is a paid theme or plugin, please contact the authors for resolution.
If free, do ask here, we may know of workaround.
PLEASE tell us you have done the tests above when posting.

OTHER COMMON FIXES
The following will do no harm, so are worth a try and can fix some issues
Dashboard>settings>permalinks. Don’t change anything, but just click save. This resets the permalinks, and can solve some 404 errors.
Dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums and run one at a time. Useful if you’ve got some stuff not showing – doesn’t often fix but occasionally does.

you can use the bbPress views widget.

which would link to optional ways to view the topics.

Recommended im not sure though?? maybe as an alternative you can use most replied too??

to add more custom views

you can plop this code into your child themes functions.php file or add it into a functionality plugin.

/**
 * Register these bbPress views:
 *  - Popular Topics
 *  - Unpopular Topics
 *  - Random Topic
 *  - Recently Closed
 *  - Tagged Test
 *  - All Topics
 *  - Open (Not Closed)
 *  - Random Single Topic
 *
 * @uses bbp_register_view() To register the view
 */
function ntwb_register_custom_views() {
	bbp_register_view( 'popular-topics', __( 'Popular Topics' ), array( 'meta_key' => '_bbp_reply_count', 'orderby' => 'meta_value_num' ), false );
	bbp_register_view( 'unpopular-topics', __( 'Unpopular Topics' ), array( 'meta_key' => '_bbp_reply_count', 'orderby' => 'meta_value_num', 'order' => 'asc' ), false );
	bbp_register_view( 'random-topic', __( 'Random Topic' ), array( 'orderby' => 'rand' ), false );
	bbp_register_view( 'closed', __( 'Recently Closed' ), array( 'post_status' => 'closed' ), false );
	bbp_register_view( 'taggedtest', __( 'Tagged Test' ), array( 'topic-tag' => 'test' ) );
	bbp_register_view( 'all-topics', __( 'All Topics' ), array( 'order' => 'DESC' ), false );
	bbp_register_view( 'open', __( 'Open (Not Closed)' ), array( 'post_status' => 'publish' ), false );
	bbp_register_view( 'random-single-topic', __( 'Random Single-Topic' ), array( 'orderby' => 'rand', 'posts_per_page' => '1', 'max_num_pages' => '1' ), false );

}
add_action( 'bbp_register_views', 'ntwb_register_custom_views' );

@navinn

alight , i knew it was that CSS code for sure but i didnt know for sure if it was for something cool in your theme.

the original code i posted shouldve worked all i did was add an CSS ID so that it would only show for bbPress , because that is where the issue was.

[ozonia]

Hi

I am new bbPress. I’m using WP 4.1.1 and 2.5.6-5643 bbPress.

I need your help.

My question is this:

I (Superadmin) I created 2 forums (ForumA, ForumB)
I also discharged manually 2 users with role Moderator (UserA, UserB).

How do I set that is UserA will be the only moderator for ForumA,
and UserB to ForumB

Thank You

[Robkk]

@nolimit966

if this was caused because you were editing your files.

you would need to backtrack and see what you did to cause the issue.

i reccommend downloading/make a backup of your edited bbPress templates so you can keep track of all your edits.

then add the default templates to your child again and redo your customizatinos.

if this could be something else only thing i can think of is using these two plugins from Robin and see if they help with your issue.

bbpress wp4 fix2

bbpress wp4 fix

[Robkk]

1. you can add a custom link to your forums in the menu section of your site.

2. Well since bbPress is a WordPress plugin most of the Content Management is done through the WordPress back-end. To manage the users in the back-end of WordPress you would have to go to users > all users. For them or you to edit their bbPress profile they could go to the front-end by defalt should be yoursite.com/forums/users/username/edit/.

to manage bbPress specific settings go to settings > forums in the back-end of WordPress.

if you need anymore help come back.

@teamoo

i think just like the standard WordPress search form the bbPress search form only searches title and content but only for bbPress custom post types (forums,topics,replies).

both searchforms arent that great by default but you could enhance it with this plugin
For a more enhanced searchform for bbPress ive seen users use this plugin.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/search-everything/

i have also seen a site just use the google custom search engine provided by google to search through their site.

But to use this properly you would have to allow bbPress custom post types to be searchable in all your site search.

[BillOsuch]

I attempted deactivating the plugin, and it took my entire site offline! Trying to load any page just gives a blank screen – no error message, no code. I reactivated the plugin, but the forum menus in admin are no longer there, so I can’t run the “reset forums” that people have mentioned.

This is a production site, with 8000+ hits daily, so I’m not able to start deactivating plugins and changing themes like other posts have suggested.

Help?

[Robin W]

Not quite sure what you are ‘ping’ing?

I thought your last post was an answer to your own question.

bbpress search searches forums only.

[Robin W]

1. read https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/
2. read https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/before-posting/

[Robin W]

hmmm.. I have been playing with my car’s engine, and now it makes a funny sound – can you tell me what I have done wrong?

Sorry, I’ll try to help but hopefully my silly sentence above will help you understand why this might be difficult.

bbpress doesn’t have a theme, so do you mean you have been changing the bbpress plugin, or making changes to your wordpress theme?

[Robin W]

it should show the last reply time

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

[Touda]

Solved!

Deactivated Role Editor plugin.

Installed and activated Members plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/

(Permissions changed with Role Editor remained.)

Added, for Author role, with Members plugin, the following permission:

read_hidden_forums

That seemed to do the trick. Hope this helps other people with the same problem while bbPress developers don’t fix the bug.

[Touda]

I’ve tried workaround suggested by @mjpg but it’s had no effect at all!

I’ve edit role for one of the users, with general Author and bbPress Participant roles. Then activated:

read_private_forums
read_private_replies
read_private_topics

And it had no effect: topics inside private forums remained invisible for that user!

Than I tried and activated also, in the main roles section, the following:

read_private_pages
read_private_posts

And, still no effect!

🙁

[Touda]

I’m having a similar problem. And I must tell Andre that, yes, it seems a bug and is not intended to be that way. As you can read at https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/#participant they are supposed to read private forums. My private users (with participant role) can see the private forums and navigate through them and their sub-forums, but all topics (on private forums and also on private sub-forums inside private forums) there is a message that no topic has been found. If I just give them upper permissions (Moderator), then they can see all the topics on these forums and alos reply, etc.

So I think it’s truely a bug. Strange to me that it’s been around for some months without being fixed 🙁

BTW, I’m using bbPress as a plugin within a WP installation.
