i see the plugins changelog says this

fixed bbPress deactivation erasing all EM capabilities for all roles

i also see the last guy replying in the topic you posted has said the issue is fixed in the new update

is the issue resolved??

[Robkk]

remove the CSS you added to your child theme (you can download it to backup if you made changes)

let the style go back to the normal 2013 then put back the CSS

it did this type of thing for 2014 for me one time and it was pretty weird.

this PHP snippet should remove the double Private wording

add_filter('private_title_format', 'ntwb_remove_private_title');
function ntwb_remove_private_title($title) {
	return '%s';
}

other than that try these troubleshooting tips

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.

@ozonia

this will be a feature for an upcoming release of bbPress

[Robkk]

these might help unless you already read them.

@afurneaux

make sure you follow this so that you have everything set up correctly

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[Robkk]

maybe this guide will help you with understanding.

Functions files and child themes – explained !

but you can also put any PHP code snippets in a functionality plugin like this one

[Robkk]

Can I contribute myself in the future in the development of this plugin? Can you give me some directions for doing so?

follow this link , join slack and contact the plugin developers

Development

you should maybe contact them about this issue too, but first make sure to troubleshoot using this first.

Hi,

I’m setting up a non-profit forum for history teachers to share courses and other stuff. Would be great to have a ‘like’ or voting function and a widget with most liked forum posts to give sharing teachers some credit.

I was OK with ‘BBpress Like Button’, except for the lack of a ‘most liked’ widget, but I had to manually delete it with the last update of BBpress because of a dependency, I think. Now I’m not feeling safe with a plugin that f. up my site when I update.

I have installed the ‘GetShopped Support Forum Plugin’ from Github – does anyone have experience with this?

Is there any plans to build voting in to the core of BBpress?

Thanks,

Lars

bbPress doesnt have themes anymore , it just uses WordPress ones.

you can customize it yourself to look kind of like that though , either following this

codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-styling-crib/

or using this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

you can also post a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/ and hire a developer to develop this for you.

[Robkk]

the plugin only affects the normal WordPress search i think so just use the normal WordPress search for your site.

and disable the forum search in settings > forums in the back-end of WordPress

but like i said before you would have to probably enable each post type to be in the regular WordPress search.

add this to your child themes functions.php or add it to 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 'forum' custom post type in WordPress' search results */

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' );

/**
 * 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' );

when your done make sure you have search custom taxonomies in the search everything plugin settings maybe even the search every tag option too.

id say create a custom bbPress forum role

hopefully this guide will help you out.

Custom Capabilities

as for the changing the bbpress count to start from a different number , that might cause some issues..

[Robkk]

i think this is what you are saying you want??

put this CSS anywhere you can put custom css

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list {
  display: none;
}

[Doug Smith]

Sometimes this happens when copying from within the same site. For example, you may copy and paste from a previous part of the conversation to quote it. The HTML from the site will be picked up and copied into the editor.

I just added a function to fix this behavior at the bottom of the Enable Visual Editor bbPress Codex page.

(sorry, offline-site. child theme in use.
WP 4.1.1, bbpress 2.5.5)
Hi!

How (and where) could I make bbpress count posts/topic replies starting at “1” instead of “0”?

As I’d like to forbid creating new topics while replying to topics is allowed I don’t want the creation of a new and empty topic being counted as topic-reply.

Could you help me?

[SSmeredith]

I have upgraded bbPress from 2.5.4 to 2.5.6.
All went ok, there was a core .css file directly edited that broke the sidebars, so have put the old one back in and site looks ok. Other than that, everything appears to be in order except for the topics Now not appearing.

http://www.yoga-teacher-training.org/forum/forums/yoga-teacher-training-forum-issues-concerns-and-questions-for-teachers/new-teacher-questions/

You can see that is says 500+ topics, etc. but blank under the heading. The data is in the database. I am tempted to upgrade the WP version and then some miracle it’s fixed… but in the real world, I think I really want to fix this first.

Any ideas? I am hoping it will be a simple fix.

bbPress v 2.5.6
WP v 3.9.3

Thank you in advance for your assistance!!

@teamoo

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

[agorts]

First I would like to says a lot of thanks for this great work you have done in bbPrees..! 🙂

My problem since a few days which I started to use bbPress was that the notification emails was not received by the users…

In v2.5.5 the problem was somewhere in not keeping correct subscription info for the user, so the sending notifications procedure does not even try to send the email…

In latest version, 2.5.6, the problem persists but in an other point…

Now the email is sending with success but the notification email does not reach the user because the “to” field in wp_mail, $to_email, contains the noreply email address and not the email address of the user..! 🙂

Can you please fix this bug for me?

Can I contribute myself in the future in the development of this plugin? Can you give me some directions for doing so?

Thank you for your time and effort… ! 🙂

[teamoo]

Robin – I think you may have misinterpreted my last response or maybe I worded it funny. My bbPress search function is not return results.

Take a look for yourself:
http://www.ohio-offroad.com/forums

Enter “Track” or “Trail” words that are used quite a bit. The only return you will get is my latest post which does not have these words. It does not return the 15 or so topics/replies that have this word.

My standard wordpress search works as it should but the forum search does not.

[rmessick]

I creating a custom import for ExpressionEngine. The name of my file and class is “ExpressionEngine”. For the “authenticate_pass” method I have confirmed it is done the same way EE does the compare with all the different hash algos it could be in a different test php file.

The problem is if I try to login as one of these users I get errors:
Notice: Undefined index: _bbp_converter_rows in /../wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converter.php on line 651

Notice: Undefined index: _bbp_converter_db_user in /../wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converter.php on line 652

Notice: Undefined index: _bbp_converter_db_pass in /../wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converter.php on line 652

Notice: Undefined index: _bbp_converter_db_name in /../wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converter.php on line 652

Notice: Undefined index: _bbp_converter_db_server in /../wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converter.php on line 652

Can’t select database

I then removed the “_bbp_class” meta for this user and reset their password and can login just fine. So it has to do with “bbp_user_maybe_convert_pass” method when including the converter.

I truly appreciate any help with this. I am on v 2.5.5

[mvaneijgen]

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.

[Robkk]

@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/

[Robkk]

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';
}
