if you haven’t already copy all of your bbPress templates to a folder called bbpress in your child theme

follow this codex guide.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

and also check if its a theme issue , switch to a default theme like twentytwelve and see if the issue is still there or not.

[palmdoc]

This is still unresolved and a mystery. I get email notifications for subscribed topics.
@mentions work for Buddypress activity but not bbPress

[J.Parra]

Unfortunately we only have one solution, changing the type of forum and forget bbPress.

Greetings.

Navigation for “Plugins” section on bbPress site is broken! Can’t navigate past the second page or gets stuck on the 20th page. Any page number you click on other than 20 loads page 2.

Please fix this.

Hi, I’m having an issue with posting topics on my BBPress Installation and I’m wondering if anyone can help.

I’ve logged into an account with ‘Keymaster’ permissions but whenever I try and create a new topic on the installation on http://members.coachingmen.org/forum/, I get the notification: ERROR: You do not have permission to create new topics.

This is only a recent development and the only thing that’s changed is that I’ve upgraded to WordPress 4.1.

Has anyone been able to solve this issue and post new topics? Is so, how did you make it work?

Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Leigh

After having installed, configured and started some forums and subforums with the initial threads (topics), suddenly I found some issues, maybe related with some new plugins I’ve been installing on the same site:
– Forums URLs give 404 errors
– Topics URLs are found OK
– No reply is possible to those topics even when logged as Admin (Keymaster). BBPress shows this error:

ERROR: You do not have permission to reply.

ERROR: This forum is private and you do not have the capability to read or create new replies in it.

When testing shortcodes on a test page it gives the following results:

[bbp-forum-index] -> No forum is listed

[bbp-single-forum id=6] -> Forum is shown with its topics

[bbp-topic-index] -> Topics are listed OK

Any idea?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Forgot to add that the above I’d for the stock bbPress installation and does not need the tinyMice editor

[palmdoc]

This works for me :

1) Add this to function.php in your child theme

via http://bavotasan.com/2014/add-media-upload-button-to-bbpress/

Open up your functions.php file and add the following snippet to get it working:

add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bavotasan_bbpress_upload_media' );
/**
 * Allow upload media in bbPress
 *
 * This function is attached to the 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args' filter hook.
 */
function bavotasan_bbpress_upload_media( $args ) {
	$args['media_buttons'] = true;

	return $args;
}

So now you have the Add Media button in the posting

2) What you need now is to fine tune the user capabilities so that not only administrators but normal users can upload media direct to the form post using the Add Media button

I am using the Capability Manager Enhanced plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/capability-manager-enhanced

I guess you could use a Custom user type (e.g. clone the normal participants) to experiment. Later on you could edit all your users and convert them to this Custom user type

Check the ability to:

a) Upload files
b) Unfiltered HTML

for this Custom user type

I guess it comes with risks but it has the benefits of direct Media upload to the bbPress forum

It’s not only images but other media e.g. PDF (which works nicely with thhe Google Doc Embedder Plugin

I know this is a tad bit old however I happened to stumble on this post while I was looking for a way to increase both the page to 100 posts and the parent page to show all 100 posts as well. The solution above adding to the functions page did not work for me even upon changing it to the proper code.

I did however find the same solution as jameswordpress did but there are multiple lines.
to edit so that both the parent forum and the selected forum page to show more than 50 forums.

To do this edit template.php located in:
/bbpress/includes/forums/template.php

Change line 135:
'posts_per_page' => get_option( '_bbp_forums_per_page', 50 ),

to:
'posts_per_page' => get_option( '_bbp_forums_per_page', 100 ),

———-

Also changing line 708 should effect the parent page (at least it did for myself):
'posts_per_page' => get_option( '_bbp_forums_per_page', 50 ),

to:
'posts_per_page' => get_option( '_bbp_forums_per_page', 100 ),

You can change the value of 50 to whatever you desire.

Hi there,
I am using WP with PaidMembershipPro and the PMPro bbPress plugins.
Everything is brand new this month. The site is here:
http://www.solonacademy.com for reference, but the forums are private behind PMPro registration.

I have created 2 private forums, no problem. I can access those forum pages, and when I do the individual page for each forum shows the following pathway:
Home › Forums › [name of private forum]
In that pathway the “Forums” page has an active link that I click on, taking me to a nice page that lists all forums. The url for that page is:
http://solonacademy.com/forums/

Unfortunately when I go to my pages tab, or when I go to the menus tab under appearance, I can find no trace of this “Forums” page. In the menu tab under “Forums” it lists the specific forums, but does not list the master page that lists all forums. I can put individual forms into my nav bar menu, but not the root page listing all forums. I want to put this page into my main nav menu, and I also want to modify the page to add text.
Why does the page not show up? It clearly exists. I am on it right now.
Can anyone help?

In some cases, it might be because the subscription emails are now being sent with all subscribers bbc’ed in rather than individually from a created no-reply address. The reason for the change is that posting new replies or topics was taking too long as it cycled through sending those emails. However, for some people (myself included), that wasn’t an issue.

You can go back to the previous way as outlined here (as I mentioned, I have similar code in a plugin) but it should work if you put it in a file called bbp-functions.php in your bbpress theme.

Actually, you might — after doing all the things you would do before you install a new plugin — try going back to the previous way with this: MJJ bbP 2.5.3 Subs. It does what it says on the tin, just uses the old functions from bbPress 2.5.3 to send subscription mails. Again, it might slow down new replies or topics. It doesn’t for me but just keep an eye on it.

WPML Support they neglect the issues.
I think, having WordPress installed “by default” the WPML plugin, bbPress should take this into account and find a solution. Do not you believe it appropriate?

[palmdoc]

Replying to myself, it seems to work now if you enable
1) Upload files
2) Unfiltered HTML
for the forum user

I guess it comes with risks but it has the benefits of direct Media upload to the bbPress forum

[palmdoc]

Hi all
Adding this function seems to work

Add Media Upload Button to bbPress

What I need now is to fine tune the user capabilities so that not only administrators but normal users can upload media direct to the form post

I am using the Capability Manager Enhanced plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/capability-manager-enhanced

when I fine tune the forum user to add the ability to Upload files, the user can add existing media to the post but not upload new media.

So close…. any ideas?

Can anyone tell me where to find the file in bbpress/buddypress that displays group forums topics loop.
When I make a change to loop-forums-single.php for the main forum it also changes the template for the group forums. I can not locate the section that gets the template. After I find the action I will create a new php file for the groups so the templates are seperated

We are evaluating bbPress and I was hoping to get some help on validating if WordPress and bbPress can achieve what we are looking for. We are looking to have the following functionality:

1. One WordPress instillation that links to several bbPress forums. So when a user registers at the main WordPress website, they have instant access to all bbPress installations on our other websites via multisite.

2. I wanted to make sure when we add new bbPress forums, all of the main websites resisted users have instant access to the new forum.

3. We would also like any user that signs up for a class to have access to a special locked section of the related bbPress forum. I am not sure if bbPress has a locking or restricted section option.

4. I noticed it recognized my WordPress.org login information, but my Forum Topics Started from that site do not show up in my profile. Is this a limitation or something that may be available in the future?

5. I see the last release was June 6, 2014. IS bbPress rarely updated?

Any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

@msjanoah you could also use this plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-simple-advert-units/

[Robkk]

see if its a plugin or theme 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.

also clear cache, and lastly you could reinstall bbPress

you could download bbPress on your computer from the WordPress repository and open the bbpress.css file in a text editor like notepad++ to see what the original file looks like.

i dont think the normal WordPress reset password redirects either. (bbPress is built off of WordPress)

so i think its normal??

you could add this to your functions.php in your child to redirect to your homepage after a reset password though.

function wpse_lost_password_redirect() {
    wp_redirect( home_url() ); 
    exit;
}
add_action('password_reset', 'wpse_lost_password_redirect');

or try this for a custom page

function wpse_lost_password_redirect() {
    wp_redirect( 'http://yoursite.com/allowed-password-recovery/' ); 
    exit;
}
add_action('password_reset', 'wpse_lost_password_redirect');

Hello,

I am working with a couple of very broken bbPress forums. Rather than trying to fix them my client is willing to start over again IF I can find a way to export the Topics and Replies into a human readable PDF document.

Apparently they have managed to do this in the past but I have NO way of knowing how. Cannot find a solution. I hope someone can help me.

Thank you.
