hmm, not sure quite the best way to proceed.

So did bbpress change when the theme changed?, or why did you deactivate it? and did you deactivate because of THIS problem? or has this problem only occurred since you deactivated/recativated?

[Robin W]

as far as I know it is a minimum of four

see

https://wordpress.org/plugins/network-username-restrictions-override/

Whilst this hasn’t been updated it probably still works !

Otherwise this is a wordpress thing rather than bbpress, so post in

Support Forums

[stevebradley1]

Thank you so much for your reply.

1. I can see the forums from the backend.

2. Yes, I can view them if they are embedded.

3. If I try viewing a forum through its actual link I get the 404. The forum root page is displaying only the public forums but it was displaying all. I can view the forum if it’s embedded in a page.

I am logged in as the keymaster, other accounts are the same.

The problem with the theme was that a page’s layout had changed. BBpress was fine with the new theme until this morning when I deactivated and reactivated.

I have tried deactivating some of the plugins. I cannot deactivate Wishlist Member as it is an active membership site with paying customers so I can’t afford the down time.

If I switch the forums to public, they display correctly through the links and through the forum root page. This is what I have done for a temporary fix.

Is there anything else I can try or is my only solution here to disable wishlist member as well and take the site down when changing to a different theme?

Many thanks for your help.

Kind regards,

Steve

ok, lets break this down

A)

I was having trouble with a theme so I deactivated and reactivated bb press, since then all my “private” forums take me to a 404 page

and

However all the pages which I embedded the private forums via shortcode are still working

Can you explain further where you can and cannot see forums?

1. Are they visible from the backend

Dashboard>forums>all Forums and then ‘view’ a forum

2. On the ‘the pages which I embedded the private forums via shortcode are still working ‘ – so you can view here – yes?

3. when is the 404 page occurring – is it just the forum root page, and if so are these being listed but going to 404 when you click.

B) I presume you are logged on, at what level and can you try different levels eg participant, moderator and keymaster and tell us if this is different or the same.

c) You don’ tell us what trouble you were having with the theme, so it would be good to eliminate this and plugins so

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.

Indeed, because this is considered a feature of base bbPress, subscription should just work. It doesn’t for anyone of my forum members or myself. This and a few other limitations are not inspiring my confidence to sustain using this forum structure.

[Sparkey]

Thank you Robkk for the help. I deactivated all the plugins a couple weeks ago and checked that, no help at all.

I had forgotten about the theme thing, I did as you suggested this morning and changed to 2012, no help, I clicked on the hardcoded sidebar link and it redirected it to a bad ugly link. Which it wouldn’t do if I uncheck the “group forums” check box at bbpress settings.

Hi everyone,

I installed bbpress on my company’s website, and when i tried to create new topic like what i am doing here, the brower will return “no data received” error, and if i click more information, i found the error code “ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE”.

I’ve tried to deactivate most of the plugin except bbpress, and the problem remains.

And if I type something short, like “test”, it can be created.

Does this has to do with the usage of server space? Because I used about 80% of it.

Thank you in advance for your help. Please let me know if you need more information

Hello,i have installed and make any correction needed in greek translation,but some are not included or missing in .po files.I cannot find where theese should be translated as you can see in the site Iam designing:

If anyone can tell me where else should I translate or which file I will be ver gratefull.Thank you very much.

Is there a way to stop bbpress forums topics from showing up in the activity feed.

[shootingtime]

I also tried all the “forum wrappers” in the ‘bbPress WP Tweaks’ and it didn’t work.

[shootingtime]

While redesigning my website, I can not get the custom sidebar to work in the bbPress forum.

Plugins I have installed:

-Custom Sidebars

-bbPress WP Tweaks

Theme: Smart Mag
Forum URL: http://shootingtime.com/test2/archery-bowhunting-forum/

This is how I got to where I’m at:

Attempt #1

1. I assigned bbPress to use the forum root slug /archery-bowhunting-forum/

2. I created a page with the url slug /archery-bowhunting-forum/

3. With the ‘Custom Sidebars’ plugin, I created a sidebar called ‘forums sidebar’.

4. I checked the box entitled ‘Allow this sidebar to be replaced’ on the sidebar named “main sidebar”

5. I went to the forum page (with the url slug /archery-bowhunting-forum/) and selected the ‘forums sidebar’ from the custom sidebar options

This did not work. I tried it with another individual page and it did work so I assume it’s a bbPress specific problem.

Attempt #2

1. I installed bbPress WP Tweaks

2. bbPress WP Tweaks gave me a widget called “bbPress sidebar” so I customized it.

It didn’t work.

I went to the forum page and selected “bbPress sidebar” in the option field. This didn’t work either.

There is one way I did get the forum index page and the custom sidebar to show up at the same time. It happened when the url slug was different the the bbPress forum slug and I used the bbPress shortcode for the forum to show up. When I clicked on a subforum, the custom sidebar disappeared though.

Please someone HELP!!!!!!!

Thanks

Hi,

I have translated bbpress into Chinese with poedit application. Could anyone help me to upload .po file to https://translate.wordpress.org/projects?

thanks

[love11a004]

Robin W: I tried de-activating all the plugins, and it is BuddyPress (Version 2.1.1) which is causing the problem. Now what should I do about this? BuddyPress itself recommends bbPress to use it as forum, and not their plugin itself is not compatible with bbPress.

[sha77ered]

Hi there,

Ive been searching all over the internet to find out how i can change the sort order of the forum root page to display topics alphabetically. It would almost seem to me that his is a problem someone may have encountered before but to my surprise I could not find anything, except topics on the sorting of forums.

I realize the core functionality that needs to be changed is in the loop-topics.php template, that ‘orderby’ value in the wp_query array needs to be changed to ‘title’ and the ‘order’ value to ‘ASC’. When I change the ‘orderby’ value to ‘title’ directly in that file, the sorting does change, but for the life of me it will not reverse the alphabetical sorting order when ‘order’ is set to ‘ASC’?!?

And perhaps any ideas how can I allow the user choose between date and alphabetical sorting? It would seem this should perhaps be an option in bbpress?

Site is redflagclient.co.za. Check under Find Client, demo login:

Username: demo_user
Password: password

Any tips would be much appreciated 🙂 Thanks guys

[Robkk]

these features you listed from what i can tell aren’t that bad im sure a developer at jobs.wordpress.net could develop this

1. there is already a mobile device layout created from the bbPress stylesheet , but its not that great but it does the job. You can improve the layout with bbPress but that requires a lot of modifying bbpress templates in your child theme.

1.1 It should be not ZOOM in when I push to post a topic\message answer

please explain this so i can know if its a bug or not

[NewCo]

Actually I think my mind generated an Idea)

1) Mobile app which is loading a mobile version of bbPress
1.1 It should be not ZOOM in when I push to post a topic\message answer
1.2 Keyboard should be like a bottom-tasbar in windows) when pusing at “typing area”
2) https://wp-push.com/extension/pushover-notifications-for-bbpress/ not sure is it possible to word with another app rather that PushOver….

[Robin W]

ok,

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.

[Robin W]

I’ve just added a shortcode to one of my plugins that lets you custom list forums

bbp additional shortcodes

[display-forum-index forum= ‘2932, 2921′ breadcrumb=’no’ search=’no’] Displays the selected forum indexes – see the site for details

[love11a004]

Sorry for the late reply. I somehow had lost my login to bbpress.org forums.

[love11a004]

Robin W: The problem was even before installing wp4 fix. Even after installing wp4 fix, it didn’t help.

[Robkk]

you can disable the search form in settings>forums in the backend dashboard of WordPress so that you wont have to use the CSS anymore.

and unless you already did you could remove the code that renders the title in your bbpress.php file.

if you haven’t created a bbpress.php you should

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

if you still need help copy the first half of the bbpress.php file you have in a reply here.

[Robin W]

As you no doubt already know, this is just a warning message, and bbpress say it is an issue with wordpress, and are waiting for wordpress to fix. Also as you know (but for others reading this), turning off debug fixes this.

If you want it to disappear whilst you are developing (and so need debug on), then go to

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/sub-actions.php

and comment out/change line 147

_doing_it_wrong( __FUNCTION__, __( 'The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init().', 'bbpress' ), '2.3' );

to

//_doing_it_wrong( __FUNCTION__, __( 'The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init().', 'bbpress' ), '2.3' );

and change back after developing as well as turning debug off for the production environment

[Robkk]

see if its a plugin or theme issue

@nishant2hit

use this plugin instead and see if it works

[Robkk]

hmm i thought they would have bbPress support since they have the sister project BuddyPress supported shown on there site, well at least they could implement it in the future though.

and well you could use a normal web browser/WordPress app in view site and go to the regular WordPress dashboard on your site and edit the bbPress settings that way.

like i said you can receive push notifications to your phone with pushover and the plugin mentioned above or hell you can use IFTTT and bbPress’s RSS feeds for its custom post types too.

with the search from XML-RPC i think you would need some custom development

you can go to http://jobs.wordpress.net/ or any other freelance websites.

if you do get this all set up like you want , can you please post a topic in Pimp your press cause i would like to check out the results.
