Nothing is broken. I do not know what I am doing. Documentation is not helpful.
I dedicated a MultiSite subsite to the forum. WP 4.1/BBPress 2.5.4
I have never set up registration/login on any of my sites.
I do not want the site to require a login.
1.) I have no idea how to set up the forum logging in, at all.
2.) Many of my users do not have email accounts. How can they register?
Any input or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Still not completely sure why this is happening, but I think it’s because of the way the forum is being displayed using the BuddyPress group tabs/screen hooks. Digging into the is_bbpress() function, none of the WP_Query information is being set so it doesn’t pass any of the is_ functions.
You can filter is_bbpress in bbpress > includes > extend > buddypress > groups in the setup_filters() function and get it working, but I can’t see a way of doing this without modifying the plugin code.
Hi, my needs are pretty simple. I’m looking for an alternative to google groups. I need a place in my WordPress site where only members can post and only members can read the posts. And I need a way for members to receive one email each time there is a new post. There needs to be an archive that members can consult to dig around and find a particular post from the past.
I have had various frustrations with google groups and yahoo groups. In theory the way they work would suit our group just fine, but in practice, there have been some problems, so now it’s time to look for an alternative.
As you can see, I don’t need to do anything fancy. My question is, shall I install the Private Groups plugin, the bbpress plugin, or both?
Thank you.
ok, le’s start by eliminating themes and plugins
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.
I’m trying to integrate bbPress with Jetpack Markdown.
The problem I’m having is the formatting of the saved data.
If I leave bbPress as is.The fenced code blocks with the three back-ticks get all screwy. I’ve found this is because of the bbp_code_trick() function on the bbp_new_reply_pre_content filter.
If I remove that filter the fenced code block works, but the inline code doesn’t. Somewhere the & character is being escaped to & and messing everything up. For instance, instead of < it ends up being saved to the database as &<. I cannot find where this is happening.
I tried both suggestions with no resolution. When I deactivated all plugins except bbpress I did not see it in the menu. I switched my theme to 2012 and it didn’t come up either.
Again, this problem began when my site was moved from my old server to a new one. Not sure if that would give you any other ideas.
I have a new forum, for recorder players. Older folk mostly, feedback indicates a larger font is needed.
I’m running WP 4.0.1, bbPress 2.5.4, and BuddyPress 2.1.1. Everythig is working nicely, the forum is at http://recorderforum.com/forum/ I’m using the mysitemyway Elegance theme
Looking at a previous bbPress forum post, I was able to increase Forum and Topic font size with the following CSS
#bbpress-forums a.bbp-forum-title,
#bbpress-forums a.bbp-topic-permalink {
font-size: 16px;
}
Using the same method, I’d like to increase the font size for
– Forum posts/replies
– Breadcrumbs
Any pointers gratefully received.
ok, It could be a theme or plugin issue

Yes, the area on my wordpress dashboard for bbpress labeled as “forum” is no longer there. My forum is still there and functioning on my main page.
Hello,
I moved my site to a new server a couple of months back. My forum and all functionality is still present. However, in my WordPress dashboard the plugin “Forum” tab is missing for me to make any adjustments to my settings. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling BBPress and the issue persists. Any idea how I can get BBPress back in my WordPress Dashboard? Thanks.
what levels for both wordpress and bbpress are you using for your dummy account, and what other plugins are you using?
bbpress allows you to build and use templates, so yes it is technically possible
I’d suggest you post a project on

sorry, how does this relate to bbpress?
Hi,
i am using bbpress and i’d like to say that’s an easy and nice plugin. one thing i don’t know how to do, i don’t want people to be able to create more category, i just want user to create new topic under a category. how to do that?
thanks,
Hello, I am trying to use bbpress to have several different forum levels on my website.
I am using the Public in a way that anyone (even visitors) can see the content, but they must Sign in to Post.
I am using Private forums to be visible once users are logged in, and only have certain members able to post.
I am using Hidden forums for internal purposes, only visible to admins.
The Plugin I am trying to use with bbpress to accomplish this is the bbpress Advanced Capabilities plugin. Everything is working except the Private forums. For some reason only Moderators and Admins can see the topics and replies in the private forums. This is after I have enabled the read_private_forums, read_private_topics, and read_private_replies capabilities. I must be missing something, but I do not know what.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
is it possible to style bbpress to have the look of
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/hubstocks.aspx
having the segments in boxes like that for the front page
I’m very much a newbe to the world of WordPress and as I installed a few plug-ins at the time, I happend to give the blame to bbPress. Thanks again !
still no luck. There are no corresponding translation fields in theme’s translation files. I disabled all bbpress plugins (except core), but still no luck.
I contacted theme author regarding this issue, as soon as I receive a reply I will share here.
@siktirella it is a good idea to work together. Please share your contact details.
Sorry sorry sorry,
I found the answer. Your question gave me the lead (what other plugins are you running ? and how and where were/are you setting up the bbpress roles?a membership plugin might be responsible for this?? )
It was the Advanced access manager !!!
Thank you !!!
Hans
Hi, I havn’t notices your answer earlier.

I am 100%sure that the problems arrived with bbPress.
Today I am the only with admin rights, but I the user list I am given the role as Keymaster but as said, I am defacto an Administrator.
NOte that Administrator does not exisit in the list !!!
For the others, I can give them the roles as keymasters but defacto they rights will not be higher than Editors.
NOTE that bbPress is not intalled but the roles availbel are (a mix of English and French):
Keymaster
Participant
Moderator
Blocked
Spectator
Abonné (French)
Contributeur (French)
Auteur (French)
Editeur (French)
Thankful for all help because I really must give the roles as editors to some more peoples.
Hans
I am pretty sure that will also be a string in the theme or plugin you are using, try searching for those strings in the theme or plugin you are using to modify bbPress. I’d also check with the author to see if they have setup the theme or plugin for translation.
And thanks for offering to help translate bbPress 🙂
Indeed passwords are 100% converted and working now, I also removed that from the codex article 🙂
With the updated importer “Buzz” will be set as a “category”, with bbPress 2.5.4 “Buzz” would have been imported as a “forum”.
Apologies, that first reply above was spam 🙁
I presume you ran each of the repair tools after import? (Tools -> Forums), if you haven’t ran these, run each of them and you might be all set without going into the database.
If you have run the repair tools then at this stage I can really only suggest you dive into the database again to have a look at what is going on….
Some tips:
– bbPress 2.x uses custom post types, in the wp_posts table you should see three post types forum, topic and reply in the post_type column.
– If you look at one of your replies in the wp_posts table you should be able to get the post ID of the parent topic by looking at the post_parent value of the reply your investigating.
1. Custom vBulletin BBCodes are not supported eg. [youtube] – You will have to manually change these yourself either before importing in vBulletin or after importing into bbPress using phpMyAdmin.
Indeed this is now fixed to work with vBulletin’s default YouTube BBCodes:
Specifically the two following BBCodes are the only ones supported (many vB forums used to use custom BBCodes and this was primarily the main issue here)
// Replace '[video=youtube;$1]$2[/video]' with '$2"
// Replace '[video=youtube_share;$1]$2[/video]' with '$2"
For example [video=youtube;eOUq4Z6R7xI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfW2UJMIQvQ[/video] will be replaced with just the YouTube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfW2UJMIQvQ, bbPress (and WordPress) will automatically embed the video using the direct URL.
2. All ‘Ordered Lists’ will be displayed as numerical lists.
This is also fixed
3. You may find extra page breaks <br> and paragraph <p> elements in topics and replies and is less than ideal and is from the way the BBCodes are converted during the forum import conversion. You will find these primarily around ‘blockquotes’ and ‘lists’
This is fixed also 🙂
#1 If I create the exact bbcodes in BBPress prior to the import, I assume this would rectify this area correct?
Yes, modify your custom BBCodes to either a) Match the supported vBulletin BBCode above or b) completely strip the vBulletin BBCode so just the YouTube link remains 🙂
I have updated the codex article and removed quite a few things that were listed there that are now fixed including full support to convert user passwords and the items in red in this image are fixed and/or supported 🙂
With that said “some” of these features are not in the currently shipped bbPress 2.5.4 such as Forum and Topic subscriptions and guest/anonymous topic and reply support, I’m going to post an announcement here on the site in the coming day or two on the improvements and where and how to get this test release.
I was building a website with wordpress (including the bbpress plugin) and decided to make a dummy user account in order to test everything out. It would not let me log in with the dummy account, sometimes it came back with a message about “too many redirects” but most times it just timed out and went nowhere. It would however let me log into the site with my “admin” account. I deactivated all of the plugins and then re-activated them one at a time, logging out and attempting to log in with the dummy account after each one. I was able to log in with the dummy account after each one was re-activated…until I re-activated bbpress. Any ideas on what the issue could be?
