Hi,

When I go to create a group in the front end;

1) I enter group name and description;
2) I insert the name and description of the group I want to create
3) If i press next step, i am faced with a Wp error page asking: “Si è davvero sicuri di voler far questo?”, clicking on the “riprovare” me page not found.

The group is not created.

I installed WordPress 3.8.5 with the theme Avada version 3.6.1 of ThemeFusion.

The main plugin installed are: bbpress (version 2.5.6), buddypress (version 2.2.1), wpml, GEO my WP (version 2.5 with add-ons: Groups Locator, Xprofile Fields, Post Types Locator and Members Locator) and U BuddyPress Forum Attachment.

Thanks in advance

Matteo

Good morning,
I’m tring to use BBPress with my website, but somehow the first topic always have a different color, making it difficult to read.

Here is the link: http://www.rhinopiping.com/Forums/forum/rhinopiping/

Would you know which kind of css I should add to change this? Thanks

I still have this problem on the latest bbpress and wordpress. Im trying to embed the shortcode on the feedback-no-search.php so that it displays when there is no search result and the user can ask the question on the forum. For admins it works fine but for non-admins get the message “You cannot create new topics.”

The fix that @satrya and @robin-w posted also doesn’t work on this version of bbpress, but again thats ia comment from a year ago.

[mvaneijgen]

I do and admins and moderators will see the form and can work with it, but users/subscribers will see the message “You cannot create new topics.” as described here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-topic-form-shortcode-issue/ a topic from almost 3 years ago.

I place the shortcode in the search result page if there are no instances found of what they are trying to look for, so they can ask that question on the forums.

[Robkk]

id say look at the bbPress breadcrumbs code and copy that and add it to your custom breadcrumbs.

its in bbpress>includes>common>

then search breadcrumbs in an editor like notepad++

[Robkk]

bbPress doesnt output shortcodes use something like this

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-do-short-codes/

[Robkk]

my only idea is using a bunch of if statements in a bbPress forum templates i guess.

what are you using for a header ?? a banner image??

[Robkk]

@booknerds

im not sure antispam bee is compatible with bbPress though, there is a plugin for bbPress that is inspired by antispam bee though.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-antispam/

maybe you should manually approve users using this plugin too

voice count shows how many users are in a particular topic.

for topics

you can edit the loop-single-topic.php file by copying it into your child theme and changing the voice count number code to whatever php tag you have from a plugin that has a specific template tag to show a posts like count.

change <?php bbp_topic_voice_count(); ?> with what you have.

to edit the label voice in the bbPress header you edit loop-topics.php and change <?php _e( 'Voices', 'bbpress' ); ?> and change it <?php _e( 'Likes', 'bbpress' ); ?>

for forums

its close to the same instead look for loop-forums.php and loop-single-forum.php

and the php code would be similar but instead of topic_ look for forum_

[Robkk]

use FTP and copy page.php and rename it to bbpress.php , then remove all the unwanted code like the read more buttn .

This usually fixes most theme problems.

need anymore help with this reply back , and i will give you a more detailed explaination.

[Robkk]

this plugin looks like it should do it for you.

I’m seeing some weird freshness bugs on a bbpress installation (version 2.5.5). I’m using a different forum structure (a forum index, subforums, etc. – a traditional phpBB layout), so the bug is even more visible to the general public, but it’s certainly not the cause of these bugs, because I can easily reproduce the bug just by clicking on the trash link in the frontend or WordPress Admin and looking at the postmeta database.

I’ve tried using the admin tool to recalculate freshness, but it makes the whole situation worse. So, I have to manually change the freshness postmetas of all forums and subforums. 🙁

I’ve encountered at least three different bugs:
– wrong freshness set for parent forum and subforums after trashing a post
– wrong freshness set for forums and subforums after using freshness recalculation via admin tools
– no updated freshness set for parent forum and subforums after untrashing a post

This seems like a blocker to me. How can I help? Are those bugs covered inside bug #2414 or bug #1925?

Hello – I’ve installed ‘bbPress’ on my website as well as the ‘bbPress WP Tweak’ to add a nice sidebar. Both the search area located at the top of the standard ‘bbPress’ install as well as the search area found in the ‘bbPress WP Tweak’ sidebar do not reap any search results.

I have 1 topic submitted for testing. The keyword is ‘Wellsville’. The search does not find this topic.

Any ideas? I’m completely stumped and a search function is an extremely important feature.

I should also add that outside of the bbPress plugin, my sites search feature works normal.

I have been having this problem since i first installed the plugin, I am using bbPress Version 2.5.4, WordPress Version 4.1, with the theme Twenty Thirteen, and I cannot seem to get the replies to show at all, forums and topic appear fine.
I have already tried changing to Twenty Fourteen, and the problem did not disappear, and the only plugin currently active is bbPress.

[teamoo]

Hey Robin – I appreciate your response but my theme designer gave me some code to make it work.

http://www.ohio-offroad.com

For reference, this is the custom CSS we entered:

/* bbPress WP Tweak plugin left justified text fix 3-13-2015 */
#sidebar.sidebar-left{ text-align: initial !important; }

I recently did a new install of bbPress (v2.5.5) on a site that had happily been running The Events Manager plugin for years. All Events Manager capabilities disappeared from all roles. According to the Events Manager support forum, I’m not the first reporting this. It was easy to fix as I had a backup of the previous capability settings, but something isn’t playing nice. WordPress 4.1.1, Events Manager 5.5.5, theme 2010.

Hello,

i want to use a widget (bbpress login) and a shortcode ([bbp-lost-pass]).

But the appearance seems to be broken. The buttons are left. The descriptions are splitted. You can check the issues here:

I’m a complete novice. I have installed buddypress and bbpress as I’m creating a website with a forum but also that gives users the ability to create their own groups and hope to develop it into a vibrant social networking site. However, I have noticed that users IP addresses are showing below the avatar and posters status eg keymaster, participant, subscriber etc….

Please can you tell me how to stop users IP addresses being visible to other users?

Thank you in anticipation of your advice

[Robin W]

probably either 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

I am having difficulty with my theme Simplify Options by D5 Creations. I have written to the theme developer, but they are not “getting it”.

So the theme gives me the option to change my main blog page to excerpts with a “read more” button. This cleans up my main blog page so that people don’t have to see the entire blog post for every single post.

However, when I enable this option in the theme, I can no longer access the forums from my forums page. I get an excerpt from the introduction to the forums which I wrote, and a “read more” button. The forum topics disappear from the page. When I click on the “read more” button, it doesn’t take me anywhere. Hence, I cannot access my forums when I enable the “read more” option.

I don’t understand coding and all of that. But if there is a plugin that you recommend which will give me the ability to clean up my main blog page with a “read more” button, that will not conflict with BBPress forums, that would be awesome.

Can you do that please??

When I debuged WP_Query in bbpress/includes/topics/template.php on line 203, it prints:

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS  wp_2_posts.ID FROM wp_2_posts  INNER JOIN wp_2_postmeta ON ( wp_2_posts.ID = wp_2_postmeta.post_id ) WHERE 1=1  AND wp_2_posts.post_parent = 5080  AND wp_2_posts.post_type = 'post' AND (wp_2_posts.post_status = 'publish' OR wp_2_posts.post_status = 'closed' OR wp_2_posts.post_status = 'private' OR wp_2_posts.post_status = 'hidden') AND ( 
  wp_2_postmeta.meta_key = '_bbp_last_active_time'
) GROUP BY wp_2_posts.ID ORDER BY wp_2_postmeta.meta_value DESC LIMIT 0, 15

with post_type=post, but it should be post_type=topic. Damn.

[VojtaSvoboda]

When I put

<div id=”bbpress-forums” data-forum-id=”<?=bbp_get_forum_id()?>”>

to the template, it prints me: data-topic-id=”5080″, so it looks that ID for fetching topics is right.

[VojtaSvoboda]

When I put

<div id="bbpress-forums" data-topic-id="<?=bbp_get_topic_id()?>">

to the template, it prints me: data-topic-id=”0″.

I just installed last version of bbPress 2.5.5 on WP 4.1. with premium Basix theme. Then created new page Forum with slug “forums” and to content put placeholder [bbp-forum-index]. Then created new Forums and topics, but I can see only Stick topics.

My forum detail looks like that:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/s8gy1o4axjt69v6/Sn%C3%ADmek%20obrazovky%202015-03-16%20v%C2%A015.30.39.png?dl=0

I use multisite WP. When I disable all CSS, in HTML there also no topics.

Does any know how to debug this behavior? When it shows 2 topics, but I can’t see it?

Hi,

I had this issue since i very first installed BBpress along with the plugin – WP User Avatar.

The avatars are not showing in the forum at all. Its a completely bespoke WordPress theme with nothing in the functions.php to be doing any filtering or stripping out extensions of any type.
Ive also disabled every single plugin except bbpress & the avatars plugin & i still get the problem.

Can anyone please help me overcome this problem?

I did notice that in the bbpress / filters.php the line which says : add_filter( ‘bbp_get_reply_author_link’, ‘stripslashes’ ); had to be commented out because it was removing the backslashes from the avatar URL making things even worse.

I dont like the fact ive had to manipulate core code to do this. Surely there has to be a better was to get avatars working.

Thank you 🙂
