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

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

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

[Robin W]

@zejio – you have the same symptoms, but probably not the same problem, – but have you tried checking the plugins and themes as above?

@evolveworkforce – Sorry but can you absolutely confirm that :

1. The plugin is activated
2. with JUST bbpress plugin and 2012 theme you are not seeing ANY of the following
Forums
Topics
Replies
Settings>forums

Thanks

[kannued]

Stephen, I wasn’t sure what I was to do once I had the post ID from the database, as there wasn’t any where to call for post id’s on the dashboard. But I solved my original problem with no replies, as follows:

I deleted everything and started over with installing wp and then integrating bbpress. My problem was that I had de-activated all other plugins before using bbconverter, as the only active plugin. The key is to have the plugin bbpress also activated before using bbconverter to integrate. Plugin BBpress activation helps bbconverter to know where to put everything like replies, voices, and comments, putting everything in the right place.

[jawittdesigns]

I still haven’t been able to find where the & character conversion is taking place, but I have managed to get it to work.

Here’s the class I’m using

class JPM_BBP_Support {

    /**
     * Initialize the class and set its properties.
     */
    public function __construct() {
        add_action( 'plugins_loaded', array( $this, 'custom_jetpack_markdown_support' ) );
        // Remove the back_code_trick filter
        remove_filter( 'bbp_new_reply_pre_content',  'bbp_code_trick',  20 );
        remove_filter( 'bbp_new_topic_pre_content',  'bbp_code_trick',  20 );
        remove_filter( 'bbp_new_forum_pre_content',  'bbp_code_trick',  20 );
        remove_filter( 'bbp_edit_reply_pre_content', 'bbp_code_trick',  20 );
        remove_filter( 'bbp_edit_topic_pre_content', 'bbp_code_trick',  20 );
        remove_filter( 'bbp_edit_forum_pre_content', 'bbp_code_trick',  20 );

        add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', array( $this, 'custom_con_char' ), 6 );
        add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content',  array( $this, 'custom_con_char' ), 6 );
    }

    /**
     * Replace instances of < and >
     * with < and > when pulling the content
     * from the databse to display
     * 
     * @param  string $content the content stored in the database
     * @return string          the formated content
     */
    public function custom_con_char( $content = '' ) {
        $content = str_replace( '<', '<' , $content );
        $content = str_replace( '>', '>' , $content );
        return $content;
    }

    /**
     * Add Markdown support for BBPress Froums
     */
    public function custom_jetpack_markdown_support() {
        add_post_type_support( 'topic', 'wpcom-markdown' );
        add_post_type_support( 'reply', 'wpcom-markdown' );
    }
}

$jmp_bbp_support = new JPM_BBP_Support();

I had to manually add a link in the site menu for the main forum page/section.
The individual sub-forums generated menu items – I don’t want those in the main site menu.

That seems incorrect – no menu item for the forum section?

– WP 4.1/bbPress 2.5.4
– MultiSite install
– MultiSite sub-site is dedicated to bbPress
– I have used the generic twenty fourteen, and other themes.

[Toni]

I am new to this plugin and to running a forum. I am just a volunteer English teacher obsessed with WP.
My user count will be microscopic, a handful of people. (my ESL students)
Many of my users will not have email addresses, have not ever used PCs and do not have PCs at home – experience has shown me it is impractical to provide email initially.

Is there an option to register users without email addresses?
If I leave the forums open without registration – what are the potential issues, security or otherwise? If any?

(I do not know how to set up any WP registrations anyway!)
– WP 4.1/bbPress 2.5.4. MultiSite install.
– I have dedicated a MultiSite subsite to bbPress.
– I have Askimet and Conditional CAPTCHA https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-conditional-captcha/

Any suggestions or input about plugins, if this is a bad idea, etc. will be appreciated.

[Jacob]

It is time for THAT TALK. Do not reject it – but seriously engage in this discussion. The standard and very understandable answer of not commenting and so on – just doesnt cut it anymore.

I want to ask politely and with full respect to the developers, what we as users of bbpress should expect in the future. Is there going to be development of bbPress so it becomes something useable as actual forum software with nodal, finegrained permissions and serious security and SPEED.

Looking at TRAC, it is not reasonable to call this project under active development. So, to the devs I want to politely ask:

Explain to me what to realistically expect, given the past development non-activity ? What should I expect ?

Thanks.

You’re right, I forgot that I installed GD bbPress Attachments. Thanks!

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 it.
