I opened a ticket with Buddypress and they believe that it is a bbpress issue.

yes, you will need to rename one of your theme pages (the one that has only one sidebar) to bbpress.php and put it into your theme

Hi,
I have recently installed bbpress and I am using this theme – http://fthemes.com/onlinemagazine-free-wordpress-theme/ it is installed here -http://chill4uscarers.co.uk/ the theme works well for the front end , but on the forum as shown here http://chill4uscarers.co.uk/forumtest/ it doesn’t as it wants 2 sidebars and I only want to show one that is the bbpress sidebar with the widgets.
I have got installed bbPress WP Tweaks so I really want to know how to make the one of the forums php work with only one sidebar that is only the bbpress one.
Many thanks in advance.

bbPress and Tribulant Gallery Voting seem to be in conflict. I deactivated and activated all plugins and it seems when these two are activated together I am unable to use gallery voting. Will post to Tribulant as well.

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.

http://www.example.com/forums/user/replies/

[mpesgt01]

Hi everyone, i was wondering what i’m doing wrong here..
I added 13 new roles in my themes functions.php, but when i try to assign them to my users it obly shows a few of them..

functions.php code

function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
  $bbp_roles['my_custom_role'] = array( 
    'name' => 'Recruit',
    'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // i just want them to have the same capabilities as participants

  );
  
  $bbp_roles['my_custom_role'] = array( 
    'name' => 'Corporal',
    'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // i just want them to have the same capabilities as participants

  );
  
    $bbp_roles['my_custom_role'] = array( 
    'name' => 'Sergeant',
    'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // i just want them to have the same capabilities as participants

  );
  
    $bbp_roles['my_custom_role'] = array( 
    'name' => 'Lieutenant',
    'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // i just want them to have the same capabilities as participants

  );
  
    $bbp_roles['my_custom_role'] = array( 
    'name' => 'Admin',
    'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // i just want them to have the same capabilities as participants

  );
  
    $bbp_roles['my_custom_role'] = array(

    $bbp_roles['my_custom_role'] = array(

    $bbp_roles['my_custom_role'] = array( 
    'name' => 'Overseer',
    'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // i just want them to have the same capabilities as participants

  );
  
    $bbp_roles['my_custom_role'] = array(

  );
  
  
  return $bbp_roles;
}   
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );

Anyone has an idea?

also how can i add images in front of the names? small icons like this:

[Robkk]

try what i found on robins website.

its a way to show the forum like other forum software where all the forums and counts are aligned.

Alternate bbpress index page

[kingisback]

thnx, used the second plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-unread-posts/
works great.

[Robkk]

for just topic thumbnails you can use this https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-topic-thumbnails/

the functionality of that site might be something similar to this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-unread-posts/

for any other plugins you want just do a quick search

[kingisback]

hello, is there a plugin for bbpress that shows icons in front of topics.
just like this example:

[Robkk]

this one has integration with bbpress https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-monalisa/

[kingisback]

is there a emoticons plugin for bbpress?

Trying to run a conversion to fix the Anonymous posts. Ran it all day and came home and it was stuck again. I did the same thing I did before where I looked at the last row created in bbpress and found the same post in phpbb by comparing content, then deleted the next one. When I do this the import continues. I would think that since I did this and complete the import this second run of the conversion would run error free but that is not the case. It is near the end and appears to be hung again. I suspect it is no coincidence that it hung twice, just like before. Guess I am not deleting the corrupt posts. Not sure why it keeps going after I delete them. If I delete another random post it still hangs until I delete the right one.

If I wanted to have it print more debug information where would I need to edit? The only information I need is the bbpress post ID and wordpress post id about to be queried and a confirmation right after the query completes. This should let me find the corrupt post.

In the instructions on https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/import-troubleshooting/ I am not sure how to take the information printed on the screen now and map it to the database.

Now drop all the rows in the database that are not in the range of rows that failed during import

I am not sure how the “Range of rows” maps to the database tables.

I will include a request to include a debug option for conversions.

Thanks again for your help.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you ROBIN W for suggesting the plugin “widget logic”. I too am having the same sidebar problem as described above, and the Tweaks Plugin simply didn’t work for me. I even tried creating a forum.php in my theme-child, and was able to remove the sidebar by removing the call to the sidebar, but when I made a call to a specific sidebar, it simply wouldn’t work: it always reverted back to the main theme sidebar no matter what I tried.

“widget logic” solved this issue. In the Main Sidebar, I can now add a LOGIC code, such as the ones you posted, and now the widgets either display or don’t dislay on the bbpress forum pages. Case closed!

So, thanks again!

hello guys, i installed bbpress on my site. but i have a problem with the theme. the theme for my site has 3 coloms, with 2 sidebars. Now is my question is there a way to make a change to the theme so the site remains with 3 colums, but bbpress get 2 colums, so 1 sidebar. this is a link to my site. http://bit.ly/1qZittE

Hi,

When I view my website Test1 on a mobile device my primary and secondary asides appear below the content on a page- the standard way websites are viewed on mobile devices. On the bbPress forum pages on my website, the secondary aside intermittently drops down and is no longer lined up next to the primary aside. This only happens on the bbpress forum pages on my website. I does not happen on the other pages on my website.

I say intermittently because I can view a bbPress forum page on a mobile device and the secondary aside is lined up next to the primary aside- it has not dropped down, and then another time view the same bbPress forum page (on the same mobile device) and it is not lined up next to the primary aside- it has dropped down.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Thank you for your time

Jerry

Assistance required please.

I installed bbpress and created a forum and a sample topic.
I made sure that this was set: “Allow users to subscribe to forums and topics”
The “Subscribe” link was visible next to the forum & topic.
I did a test and turned off “Allow users ….” and the link disappears (which is good).
I clicked on the “Subscribe” link and it became an “Unsubscribe” link (which is good), but when new topics/replies were made no email notifications came through.
I verified that WordPress is sending emails – so it’s not that.

What else do I need to do?
Do I need to provide any further information about my setup?

I would appreciate a step by step tutorial of how to go about setting up what I describe above. I want users to be able to select which forums and topics they subscribe to.

[Stephen Edgar]

@pooledge Oh! That is not good and would most likely be the cause 🙁

I just created a user Вук Стефановић Караџић (WikiPedia: Vuk Stefanović Karadžić) and indeed the user was not imported.

A quick look around and all we need to do is sanitize the username, I’ll look to add this to bbPress Core in a future release, probably quite a few bits of testing for other language scripts.

For now though install and activate @SergeyBiryukov‘s Allow Cyrillic Usernames WordPress plugin and these will import perfectly. 🙂

Also added this to our codex https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/import-troubleshooting/#cyrillic-usernames

хаве а нице даи 🙂

Edit: This plugin is a slightly improved version allowing with better support for Cyrillic and Arabic usernames in WordPress.

[Robin W]

I personally have no experience of multisite, but most times when this doesn’t work on single site, it is a plugin conflict.

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.

Suspect that won’t help, but in case, and since no-one else has responded 🙂
