Correct. With 2012 activated and only bbpress plugin active I do not see Forums, Topics, Replies, or Settings>forums. Double checked all for you.

[Robkk]

download the .zip then copy the file loop-forums.php into a folder that should be in your child theme called bbpress

1. You shouldn’t need to manually map anything with WordPress 4.0.x and bbPress 2.5.x, bbPress 2.x can import bbPress 1.x 100% perfectly “out of the box” without any additional plugins or manual intervention.

2. If you want to integrate bbPress 1.2 with WordPress then this also works with a few tweaks also, see this post for details on this.

In summary there is no reason to be not using the latest version of WordPress with either bbPress 1.x or 2.x.

@JJJ Successfully reached his crowd funding goal which means starting in January, you’ll likely see more activity from him around these parts including BuddyPress and GlotPress.

In terms of what’s on the roadmap for him to complete regarding bbPress, I don’t know.

Hi, I tried again to post this bug on track, but I got a “you have not ticket privileges”, so I’ll try to report it here since it can be a very general issue.

My blog is set with a permalink structure like %category%/%postname% WITHOUT a trailing slash. But on bbpress file ajax.php on function bbp_get_ajax_url() the url is generated with a trailingslashit( $wp->request ).

WordPress sends back a redirect whene there is a trailing slash and the subscription fails with an alert “undefined”. Removing the trailingslashit(…) everything works fine.

There is a specific reason for that use of trailingslashit()?

Thank you, Stefano.

Hi

The recipe plugin seems to have had separate issue in addition as its links where not accessible at the expected urls according to default settings.
That was dealt with.
Around that same time as I was first using that plugin & also setting up the bbpress forum is when I noted something wrong with bbforum forum at /forums.
That is when I turned to bbpress.
It seems to be the case as I found after repeated testing the other day as I now need to finish the site & hence visiting the issue again, that if you install bbpress first & use default settings, and later after activating recipepress reloaded,the recipe plugin links do not work.
I also discovered that if on the other side you deactivate bbpress, the existing recipe plugin links work.

So to sum it up, this specific issue is still there, as described above.
If it was possible to use the short code method you suggested & still be able access bbforum settings from its admin page, etc, I would settle for that, but the time I last tried settting up a forum, I got the impression one has to use shortcodes all thru, with no equivalent centralized settings page, which made it rather complicated to administer the forums & have an overview.

Of course better would be if there was no apparent conflict.

Regards

Stephen, this was news as whenever I looked in import before, there was nothing referring to bbpress. So I checked out here, https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/import-bb-data-from-csv-file-to-bbpress-forum/. I reset everything to WP 4.0.1, and bbpress 2.5.4. and tried to follow through your instructions. But mapping fields was way too complicated for me since I would put down post-id but there wasn’t another column with a “map to”. I was ready to go back to bbconverter as the only problem I had was html code in the topics and replies which I would have to strip. Minor, as my old forum is not very big, but still tedious enough.

But then I tried this. I reset everything to WP 3.6 and bbpress 2.0.2. Checked the Tools > Import, and what do you know, there was a bbpress standalone link! Following through I converted everything over. Reviewed the test site: forums, topics, replies, voices, users, tags, and any stray html code in posts. WOW, everything was there, exactly where it should be, with exact content duplicated!

For any integration on bbpress standalone into wp, I highly recommend integrating with WP 3.6 and bbpress 2.02.

The underlying questions may be perfectly valid, since I am not clear about what you want I can’t say..

I suggest you post a new topic, and rather than post vague what you don’t like suggest what is needed.

On the speed front, the next release does have some plans to improve performance.

On nodal, finegrained permissions , I presume you have seen

so please detail what further fine graining you would like

Hi

I’m back after a while. 😉
After a lot of research, enabling, disabling this & that, I discovered this issue only comes up if the recipepress reloaded plugin is activated.

It is recommended for the main recipe page to be at /recipes.
If you first install this, then whatever you do, bbpress will not be accessible at the recommended & preferred /forums.
Instead as explained above, if you try to access the forums at /forums, whereas the url remains correct & pointing to /forums, the content of the blog front page is loaded & if I remember well, any latest forum content appears listed as one of the normal blog posts!

I tried however to uninstall bbpress & disabled all other plugins, including the recipe plugin, then re-installed bbpress. The set up run normally & the forums were accessible at /forums. When I reactivated recipepress reloaded, all its links, including /recipes returned a page not found error. It is only when bbpress is disabled that the recipe pages are accessible again.

Conclusion: both plugins cannot run together, at least with default settings (?).

Quite perplexed regarding what to do next since the site has to shortly go online & both the recipe & forum sections are integral partS. I cannot put off the issue any longer.

In suggestion above, you suggested an alternative solution of using shortcodes.
I discovered at the that the forum I created, or at least it seemed works independent of the settings on the bbpress settings & admin pages & everything had to be done with shortcodes(?), or is there a possibility of an equivalent central admin area?
Or am I mistaken?

Ideally, a solution to the apparent conflict between the 2 plugins would be great, but if it cannot be gotten (any time soon/at all), is there any equally easy way to manage forums created via shortcodes?

Some further guidance would be very much appreciated.

Regards

[Stephen Edgar]

You shouldn’t be using ‘bbconverter’, bbPress 2.x includes its own importer now and is in fact that very same plugin now included within the core of bbPress. There has also been vast improvements and bug fixes to both the converter and the bbPress 1.x importer.

From your WordPress Dashboard -> Tools -> Forums -> Import

1) Close the topic. But it seems like subscribe-notifications are only sent when the topic is open. Is there a fix for that?

I’m kind of thinking we should allow notifications to be sent from topics that have been closed.

Can you create a ticket on Trac and we can make a decision and fix this, I’m unable to test and confirm this behaviour at the moment but the ticket will remind me 🙂

I’m running WordPress 4.01, bbpress 2.5.4 and buddypress 2.1.1. I have one forum installed and I have just created a second forum. The problem is when I create the second forum it basically picks up all the topics and menu choices of the original forum. The original forum is private and is password protected. I don’t want the 2nd forum private but public nor have the topics or menu choices of the original forum and not password protected. I basically want it to be it’s own forum separate from the original one. Any help would be greatly appreciated

[Stephen Edgar]

Create a ticket on Trac and we’ll take a look at adding support for Jetpack Markdown

@jawittdesigns

hopefully @netweb or @robin-w will pick this up since they browse the bbpress plugin files way more than i do.

[Robkk]

im kind of leanging that you might need some custom development for this

but im not sure if this kind of plugin is what you are after

Sorry for delay in replying – have been v. busy lately !

bbpress has a rich set of capabilities which you can use to create custom roles – read the attached and you should be able to create roles to suit your needs

Wordpress 4.0.1 running Tempera theme.
bbPress Forum

I have all of my sub forums sitting in a master forum on my site. At the end of the page there is
Oh bother! No topics were found here!

I don’t want to have any topics for the master forum. It’s only purpose is to house the sub forums.
It’s status is closed, but Oh Bother still appears.

I have searched here but failed to find a solution.

I would be grateful for any help in removing this from the Forum.

Here is the forum. it’s still under construction.

Hello,

I recently started to use bbPress v 2.5.4 with WP v 4.0.1.
Everything worked fine until I changed the user_login in of a user in the mySQL database, who had the bbPress moderator-role and started two forums before.
Now this user (and every other „moderator“) can´t see the menu-item „forum“ in the Dashboard anymore. Any other bbPress-role works like it should.
As a workaround I created a testpage with the shortcode [bbp-forum-form] and tried to start a new forum as „moderator“. It worked, but I only could start a child-forum under an existing parent. So the „keymaster“ has to change it to „parent“ everytime a „moderator“ starts a new forum.
That´s a wortkaround but not a solution.

I found a post here in the forum https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/moderator-role-cant-create-or-manage-forums/, where you speak of a known issue, that a moderator can´t see the „forum“ menu in the dashboard anymore. The problem described there seems to be quite similar to mine but is 1 year old. So, is this issue solved in the meantime? And if not, perhaps my problem helps to address the issue.

Thanks for any assistance.

I’ve searched these forums and found mostly technical replies from developers (I’m semi-technical so making up some code from scratch and knowing where to stick it is out of my league).

I’ve tried “Everything Search” which does not index topics.

I’ve tried free “Relevanssi” search which has a check-box for tpics but shows them as “not public” (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-relevanssi-search-include-bbpress-forms-topics-and-replies?replies=3)

I’ve tried various snippets that I found via google search – each with additions to functions.php a couple don’t work, and a third actually works, but it blanks-out the topic pages (the page is still there but the text of the topic and replies is missing).

I’ve enabled Jetpack “omnisearch” which has no options but still doesn’t show the topics in the search results.

Please point me to where I can find information to modify my WordPress, Theme, or BBPress installation so that search results from the main form include topics!!!

Thank you!!!

P.S. My website http://www.hippressurecooking.com – I have lots of forum topics discussing Christmas Puddings but if you search for “pudding” on the main website all you get is the posts & pages with the word “pudding” and none of the topics with valuable info.

P.P.S. I have search enabled in the forums, but in addition to that I would like the results all in one place from the basic WordPress search that shows up on every page.

[Stephen Edgar]

Apologies for the late reply, importing alone will not add all the required “meta data” that bbPress requires, after importing your batch of test topics go to “Tools -> Forums” and run each of the bbPress repair tools, this should fix your issues of not seeing the topics on the front end.

[kannued]

These two plugins have been combined into Frank Bültge latest, which does not have topics as one of the content options. Any other suggstions? I should think bbpress should have a plugin to address search and replace in topics.

[bitu134]

I am looking for a way to block Participant user level to create new topics in the Forum but allow replies on the topics.

I tried a plugin called bbPress Protected Forums(https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-protected-forums/) but it doesn’t seem to work probably because it hasn’t been updated since long.

I will really like some quick help on this

Wordpress version: 4.0
bbpress version: 2.5.4

[Robin W]

yes, use this in addition to bbpress
