Hi guys,

I’m not sure exactly why this is happening, but I’m guessing it’s due to the way subscription emails are sent out and the no-reply address grabbing the site info incorrectly.

Am I right in assuming that when there are subscriptions to a forum/ topic, they now get sent out as one email with everyone Bcc’d?

Anyway, when someone posts a new topic on my site – and I guess there are subscribers – I say guess, as I don’t think there is a way of us seeing subscriber numbers – an email must get generated to notify them.

Well I’ve been getting non-deliverable emails back at me saying that one of these emails was sent to noreply@www.mywebsite.com and that the address doesn’t exist.

Well with the www. in there it won’t exist.

Why would BBPress be trying to send an email to a noreply address in the first place?

Could someone explain – it’s probably obvious, so sorry in advance!

Thanks so much for your time!

Ross 🙂

Hey all!

Just finished working on my 1st attempt for a bbPress layout, the site was originally phpBB and I converted it over to bbPress with the custom theme. It’s also responsive for tablets/phones. Let me know what you think, thanks!

Forums

I was also browsing the bbPress Examples page and noticed there were a few dead links on the page, not sure if anyone can update these:

I thought you would like to know my hosting provider persevered and created a procedure to resolve this issue. It was….

=== From the support engineer ===
1. Deactivate the bbPress plugin.
2. Find the database version in the wp_options table and reset that back to “1”. I could have picked an actual WordPress database version (and probably something as simple as the most recent), but I knew this worked from the testing on the development site.
3. Once the database version was manually set back to 1, I had to navigate to: https://zippe.biz/wp-admin/upgrade.php. This forced WordPress to run all of the database upgrades required to get from version 1 to the latest version of the database (27916).
4. Once the upgrades had completed I needed to reset the account password for our account. I noticed this was required on both the staging site and the live site, so my hunch is it may have reset some keys. You’ll likely need to do this for all of your accounts as well.
5. After the password had been reset I was able to login and the dashboard loaded normally.

I’ve recently installed a bbPress forum within my wordpress blog. See link here. But for some reason my bbpress forum does not extend out to the full width of the page. Its very narrow looking.

When I first uploaded bbpress I created a ‘Page’ and called it ‘forum’. Within that page I can add sidebars and widgets to those sidebars but none of that works for me and I would like to find out why and how I can fix it?

I’m using wordpress version 3.9.1. And bbpress version 2.5.4.

[OsamaNuman]

Hello,

Great Plugin !! hope I can find help here ! 🙂

** I would like to know how I can order the freshness of my topics in a forum by date not by last active time ?

** and how may I add a new topic button neat the forum title above all topics instead of the box below the topics ?

*note that I need the button on each forum page not the page containing all forms

hope I was specific enough … Regards

[azafuel]

Wordpress version : 3.9.1
Bbpress version : 2.5.4
My site : gamemute.com

I’m just wondering if i can change the edit profile link from wp-admin/ to http://www.gamemute.com/?bbp_user=1

I’m using the game addict theme, a bbpress compatible theme !

Thanks and sorry for my bad english

First one :

add this code to your functions file

//disable toolbar for non-admins
if (!current_user_can('manage_options')) {
show_admin_bar(false);
}

see

Functions files and child themes – explained !

Second one

use my plugin

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

This will let you set exactly who can see forums

[jetfalcon]

I have found a couple of similar forums posts about this, but they have not been resolved.

Is there a shortcode for the bbpress widget? It is not listed in the shortcode page.

If not, is there a way to implement the widget on a page without a sidebar? I do have a sidebar on the forum page, but I would like the widget implemented in the front page as well.

[Robin W]

Please let me know where I can insert this code

Into your functions file see

I am expecting this will be a reply in the source database has some weird content.

To quote @JohnJamesJacoby here:

These types of faults are typically due to some encoding issue in that post. Sometimes this is from an encoding conversion to UTF8 that was done at some point. Whatever it is, it’s nearly impossible to detect without setting a time limit on queries and bisecting the difference until we can narrow down the offending entry, and skip it. Because queries could naturally take a long time, and because it results in missed data, I’m not comfortable with this approach.

The workaround is to find and delete the offending reply which is time consuming and tricky but the only way at this stage.

Here’s how I do debug this and find the offending topics/replies:

• Once the import hangs, click stop, take a note of where it was up to, e.g. Converting 11,299 – 11,300
• Click start again and the import will continue from where it left off
• If it hangs again, take note of where it was up to again
• Once finished make a fresh copy of the source database
• Now drop all the rows in the database that are not in the range of rows that failed during import
• Perform a fresh import using this database with the “Rows Limit” setting set to 1
• The import should hang on the offending topic/reply
• Again, take note of the topic/reply it was up to
• Click stop, click start again to continue on
• Once you have your list of offenders and the import has finished delete these rows from this database and test again to make sure it completes without hanging
• Now back in your full database (presumably a copy of the original) delete these same rows from the database and run the import again

[Stephen Edgar]

I would check if your web host is caching the bbPress pages and/or you are have setup caching yourself, if so disbale your cache plugin/s and see what happens.

[Stephen Edgar]

Probably running each of the repair tools would correct any issues with the replies meta data.
(This is assuming that every plugin is disabled except bbPress and your using Twenty Fourteen)

[xplusboy]

its for css conflict.
use this code in your theme style.css file to fixing that :

#main-content #bbpress-forums ul ul li, #main-content #bbpress-forums ul li  {
    margin: 0px;
    list-style: none outside none;
}

[aussiestar14]

yes it was the plugin wp-tweaks!
I deactivated it and now the bbPress sidebar shows up, footer is there because I took out the bbpress.php But there is still the left sidebar. When I use the custom sidebars plugin, I can add widgets to a new left bbPress sidebar, but I can’t choose that there is no left sidebar.

[Xaveus]

I have installed bbpress on multiple wordpress sites and seem to always have the same issue. On the main forum index page it says 0 voices and 1 posts no matter how many posts you create this never changes. Being that this has occurred on every site that I have included bbpress and being different themes and installs I can only conclude that I must be missing something when I set it up.

If anyone can help I would appreciate it….because you cannot run a forum that says there is only 1 post in it 🙁

Also I use no shortcodes, I just install bbpress then go to http://www.example.com/forums and start posting.

[Robkk]

but then the emoticon don’t show up. Well, emoticon is the least of the worries….please help me figure out how to get normal users HTML access so that they won’t get this issue.

i dont have any clue what could cause a problem with your emoticons, maybe your other emoticon plugin is causing issues, deactivate it see if it fixes that.

Yes sir, it do look like it’s restricted to to normal users. I just posted from the admin side and it works well

ok now your going to have to allow certain html tags, other than just allowing html to everyone. people might abuse that and add something malicious to your site.

heres a good topic to read about this. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/allow-html-from-users/

heres a function that allows the common html tags already in bbpress.

you can take it from here , or until someone else helps you on this, i have no idea how to do this haha .

add_filter( 'bbp_kses_allowed_tags', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags' );
 
function ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags() {
	return array(
 
		// Links

This is the Image of forum. Right above the emoticons there is a letter “p”. I am not too sure what that is for:

i dont really know either, but i think it indicates what heading style you are on , you see that list box that says paragraph click Heading 2 , now your p symbol should show h2

This is the image of what user posted on the forum and ended up with all the codes showing up:

it might be because participants cant post any other html tags than what bbpress allows, im not for sure though.

easy way to test it is for keymaster to post using span style, if it works then its allowing participants to use restricted html.

The user just replied that once he highlight any part of the content, that’s when it shows with all the codes.

how??

link me to your site ,give me some demo login details and ill sign up and try it out??

[deerheadlights]

As an admin, when I press the edit button on any post it takes me to what should be the editing url (www.website/forums/post/edit/) but I get a 404. When I am logged in as a user there is not even an edit button, even though I set the edit time to be 99999 minutes. I’m using a Twenty Thirteen Child Theme, with the permalink setting being postname. Is there some sort of edit.php in the bbpress folder that I have to move to my theme folder? User pages also come up as a 404. I reset permalinks, disabled the forum slug prefix and disabled my plug-ins except for BBPress and it still doesn’t work! Any help would be really appreciated.

[Robin W]

maybe 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.

[Robkk]

because otherwise you can just make a custom bbpress theme

@desiamerican26 ok enable the visual editor

install this

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

to add font-size and font-color install tinymce advanced also

https://wordpress.org/plugins/tinymce-advanced/

heres some screenshots of tinymce advanced

TinyMCE Advanced

[desiamerican26]

Hi Robkk,

Sorry if I am creating confusion. I am providing a screenshot to what I am really looking for. Please consider that. The screenshot is from phpbb forums that someone use. I am wondering if we can have that under bbpress with CSS or any plugin.

Something like where it says “Font Size, Font Family” and right above Font Family there is an option to change color for Background or Font itself.

Thank You

[Robkk]

mann your bbpress is acting weird….

try

span.bbp-topic-freshness-author img {
width:20px;
height:20px;
}

[Robkk]

i have bbpress and i dont have a forum specific sidebar

so it must be something else. Do you have this plugin??

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-wp-tweaks/

if your just using it for a forum specific sidebar, custom sidebars plugin can do that??
you just create a sidebar and only place it on forums, replies, topics then just throw those widgets in there.

[tonydes]

@robkk

So I did what you said and added the loop-single-topic.php to a folder in my child theme labelled bbpress. I edited out that code, but unfortunately nothing changed!
