Using WordPresss 4.1 and bbPress 2.4.5-5380

The Subscribe link doesn’t seem to work. There is no response when I hover over it and I certainly don’t get emails when a new post is created.

Any help appreciated

[Robkk]

i just translated my local site/bbPress to French using Robins link and it seems to work just fine

[Robin W]

bbpress works with 4.1 so it not/not only a 4.1 issue

It could be a theme or plugin issue with 4.1

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

[Robin W]

presume you have done all this

[Robin W]

Just to be clear, I’m expecting

I have a forum on xx running version yy of bbpress, and am trying to move it to zz.

I did

Dashboard>tools>forums>export from the xx and then vv to the new site

The issue I have is……

Can you help me ?

[Robin W]

Really, I’m not kidding, have you guys read the bbPress installation guide lately?

I wrote all the step by step stuff, so it’s fine with bbpress 2.5.4

I appreciate that you are frustrated, but perhaps you’d like to start by telling us what you are trying to do rather than just rant.

And why have you been trying for over 4 months, but this is your first post here?

@carl-fox

why would you want to import the newest version of a bbPress posts into WordPress when they should already show up fine, like a regular bbPress install??

i understand importing the standalone version of bbPress which is 1.0x and to import that into the newer version so that it could work better with WordPress.

are you trying covert topics to actual blog posts?? or something to that nature??

Is bbPress dead now?

no its not dead , consider it in the shadows ….like Batman haha

[Carl Fox]

I have tried EVERYTHING!

Nothing works!

All forums/topics/replies/users are imported, nothing shows up anywhere on the front end.

All forum repair tools do NOTHING.

I have tried this on single site, multisite and local site, I have rebuilt everything from scratch and tried it, I have rolled back the original forum (also WP 4.1/ bbPress 2.5.4) and reinstalled it’s backup, then tried exporting/importing again, NOTHING WORKS!

As you can guess, I’m pretty fed up.

I started trying this in October, still trying. Followed all the threads here, most of which trail off with no solutions, or end with ‘I got it to work!’, and ‘We’re glad you solved it.’ type postings – which is really infuriating.

Stephen posted months ago that an import option for bbPress 2 would be easy to implement and quickly done, no sign of it – or Stephen anymore.

Is bbPress dead now?

Seriously, most of the documentatation relates to ancient WordPress versions, and bbPress 1.

Really, I’m not kidding, have you guys read the bbPress installation guide lately?

Anyway, I know I’m ranting, but I am extremely pee’d off. I’m no novice, all I want is correct documetation. A guide that finishes maybe? How about a proper step-by-step guide on how to manually do an importation via phpMyAdmin – as none of the current tools manage to work.

Somebody, for the love of all mankind, please help!!!

@fatbat

as an alternative of going to the plugins section in bbpress.org you can just go to the WordPress plugin repository and search bbpress/bbp and you should find some bbpress plugins.

also just going through any plugins tagged bbpress should do it too.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/bbpress

[Robkk]

yep your right will create a trac ticket for bbpress.org now

[bigsicret]

I created a folder bbpress in languages, i put the bbpress-fr_FR.po and .mo files into it but the plugin is still in english language.

[Robkk]

it could be just making the font-size smaller.

copy this CSS anywhere you can put custom CSS

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-author a.bbp-author-name, 
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author a.bbp-author-name, 
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author a.bbp-author-name {
font-size:12px;
}

[Robkk]

I need to topics sorted by last activity in topic

bbPress does this by default??

[Robkk]

you could also just activate the visual editor too.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

[Robkk]

@discdemo

remove Dougs code and see if just using this will fix it. it does the same thing.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

also see if deactivating wp-edit will fix the problem , i tried it awhile ago with the visual editor code and it was kind of buggy.

[Robkk]

@jparra-1

on http://wpml.org/forums/topic/bbpress-and-wpml/

there is a workaround toward the bottom.

and also links for some custom development for this kind of thing if you want to do that.

Can you think to you some action I can do to get, that these two great plugins works together?

their site forums im sure shows that they work together , the WPML team says they are working on it , unless i havent found the topic/post that says they already have??

[Robkk]

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.

[Fatbat]

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.
