@robin-w yeah i still need help
There are a couple of tweaks in the next version of bbPress but most likely you will need to tweak this within the theme you’re using.
bbPress includes the WordPress natively supported embed providers:
Flickr Videos & Images WordPress 2.9
Hulu Videos WordPress 2.9
Imgur Images WordPress 3.9
Instagram Images WordPress 3.5
Photobucket Images WordPress 2.9
SmugMug Photos WordPress 3.0
(SmugMug and Photobucket support is being removed for WordPress 4.0 is released, see #28379)
For any of the above you simple paste the URL on a new line by itself:
e.g. https://flic.kr/p/57FFQn
Any other images hosted elsewhere you simple link to them using the <img src=''> HTML
e.g. <img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3130/2701069417_4d5234fc18_o.jpg" width="198" height="49" alt="bbpress">
This will be a conflict with one of your plugins, start disabling each plugin until you see the bbPress menus, once you see the menus you will know which plugin is causing the conflict.
I am new to bbPress. I am sure many people may have asked these questions but I really cannot find the appropriate thread. So any help will be greatly appreciated.
1. The login widget on the sidebar is not working. Once I put the credentials and hit ‘Log In’ button, all I am getting is a white screen! I really cannot see a way out. Can anyone help? Please.
2. Forum posting is supposed to allow html formatting as mentioned in the settings (Dashboard >> Settings >> Forums) but I don’t see any formatting options as I can currently see here in this support forum as I am typing. I just used the strong tag using the html buttons tab here. I will like to have the same option showing on my website. Why are this html options not showing at all on my website? Can anyone help me? I will really appreciate your help.

Hi again,
shortly before I can finally go online with my WP+bbpress, there is a problem with the shortcode in a widget: The tag cloud in sidebar widget is not displayed.
Here in the forum I found the following tip:
To allow shortcodes in sidebar widgets, write in an empty functions.php file the following code und put this file into your child-theme-folder:
<?php
add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');
?>
After saving the file, you can now add the shortcode [bbp-topic-tags] in sidebar widgets.
Unfortunately the tag cloud is not shown.
What did I do wrong?
Thank you very much for help says

Hi,
(Maybe it’s a normal bbpress behavior but) I wonder that any search page nor user profile page appear in breadcrumbs.
As an example :
1- I stand in the “Forum A” page. Breacrumbs show : Home / Forums / Forum A
2- I launch the search (using the search widget or not : it doesn’t change anything)
3- In the result page, breadcrumbs only show : Home /
I meat the same issue with profiles pages :
1- I am in any topic page of the Forum A. Breacrumbs show : Home / Forums / Forum A / Topic-name
2- I click on the name of the topic author.
3- In the profile page, breadcrumbs show : Home /
In both cases I can’t use breadcrumbs to go back to any forum page. Not so practical!
Is there anything I should do to keep complete “ways” in breadcrumbs?

Ok, suspect that since bbPress authors have change how this works, then that is how the authors want it to work.
That would be very, very sad. Before, it was much better.
But I’ll take a look when I get a moment !
Yes, of course, I thank you very much!!
why do you need a plugin ?
when you reply to this comment look at the toolbar there is an image upload by url (img) button.
if you want images to be uploaded to your server
add this function to your functions php (if you have a child theme already set)
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bavotasan_bbpress_upload_media' );
/**
* Allow upload media in bbPress
*
* This function is attached to the 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args' filter hook.
*/
function bavotasan_bbpress_upload_media( $args ) {
$args['media_buttons'] = true;
return $args;
}
but function only allows admins, moderators , and authors to upload images to your server.
you would then need to change some user role capabilities so that if you want subscribers to upload images to your server

I’m new to bbPress (haven’t started using it yet) but I’m realizing that to show inline photos in a post, I need to use a plugin.
Are there any live sites out there that have inline images in posts that I can look at to give me an idea of what is possible with bbPress and image plugins?
What is the most popular plugin for allowing upload and display of images?

I just noticed that spectators and even blocked users, can see the Forum Settings page on the WordPress Dashboard. This is an issue because they can then go and change any of the settings of the forum.
Has anyone else noticed this (or am I just crazy) and is there a solution to this?
bbPress: 2.5.4
Wordpress: 3.9.1
BuddyPress: 2.0.1
Well, I didn’t solve this but worked around in a completely absurd manner. The “paged” query var was causing the problems, so I made a new query var, thepage, and used that to re-do the query for user replies using the ‘bbp_get_user_replies_created’ filter. Then, instead of messing around with the slightly insane way bbPress writes the pagination links, I added in Waypoints (http://imakewebthings.com/jquery-waypoints/) and used the Infinite Scroll shortcut to load the next pages. It seems to work ok (fingers crossed, it’s just gone live, something could still go very wrong).
The links for the next pages are like this – I didn’t make them pretty because they’re not in the browser address bar.

I have tested with twentyten-theme and twentyfourteen and without any plugins. The behavior is unchanged, if I use bbpress 2.5x.
What would I like to happen?
I would like that bbpress is running like under version 2.41.
That is:
1. In the dashboard -> replies, the title is automatically written to the title box with the prefix “reply to: .. (topic title) ..”
2. This in turn causes that the permalinks include not only the ID, but – like it is defined in the WP settings – again the full title of the posts.
Why? As I had written:
1. Permalinks only with ID are not good for search engines.
2. The handling of the replies in the admin area (dashboard) is not good. If you have opened a reply, then you can no longer see at what post it belongs, because the title box is empty. How do you personally deal with that?
Do you have the ability to install bbpress version 2.41 in your test area? Then you can watch live, how version 2.41 works and what you see in the dashboard –> replies. (= title is there and permalink with title)
This is, what I want to have back!
Do you know a way to implement this again with version 2.54?

seems strange that they claim it is compatible, but can answer why it is not compatible !! 🙂
Ok lets try the following, to prove that it is solely a theme issue (sometimes they can be a combination)
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.
Has a solution been found for this issue? I’m pretty much having the same issue.
This forum contains 1 topic, and was last updated by Admin 12 hours, 7 minutes ago.
Viewing topic 1 (of 1 total)
After “viewing topic 1” no topic is shown. my theme is bbpress compatible, I’ve tried disabling all plugins except for bbpress. nothing seems to work. any insight?
When i to create a new topic or reply to existing one my site forum, the reply box goes out of the screen and a part of the box is cut along with some text.
Here is an example http://tinypic.com/r/1z4yaef/8
I do it on my Nexus 4 and content goes out but when i re size my desktop chrome window to same resolution or even lower to 480 x 800 this does not happen. But when i re-size the desktop window to 320 x 480 this happens.
Is there any way to prevent this and make it responsive?
As you’ve paid for a theme which says it’s bbpress compatible, I’d suggest you contact their support page and they should fix you !
I’m having the same/similar issue when I click into a group and click on the forum tab I can see
“This forum contains 1 topic and 1 reply, and was last updated by Admin 1 week, 2 days ago.”
“Viewing topic 1 (of 1 total)”
But under “Viewing topic” topics are not showing up for any user.
I had turned the search engine option on the dashboard on/off… that didn’t work.
I changed the theme to the word press default theme and topics seem to be working properly there so I believe its something with the theme but I’m not sure I’m currently using the salutation theme. http://themeforest.net/item/salutation-responsive-wordpress-buddypress-theme/548199
I’m using WordPress 3.9.1 bbpress 2.5.4 and Buddypress 2.0.1
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Okay, I just found out: this is the link from the forum view. This is for me the same way. That’s not the problem. Problem is that the reply-title is no longer inserted automatically. In the admin area!! The field for the title is empty since version 2.5.x.
Please open in your bbpress admin area a reply and look if there is a title inserted (with the prefix “reply to:”) or whether the field for the title is empty like it is in my bbpress admin area.
You can see what I mean in my screenshots.

Is this the view of the permalinks in the admin area of the bbpress-replies section?
Hi Robin,
it seems that Stephen had no idea about this.
In the meantime I have heard by John James, that this is not a bug. It would be correct. Replies only ever had titles because WordPress forced all posts to have them until 3.7. I’m confused about that, because at bbpress 2:41 I have reply-titles with WordPress 3.9.
And you had written that your reply-titles are still there and also in the permalink (bbpress 2:54 and twentyten-theme). So I want to ask you to have a second look on it: is it really the REPLY-title in the permalink? Topic-titles I also have in the permalinks, only the replies have no title and the permalink shows only the ID.
My permalinks should contain the post NAME (not the ID) like this:
mytestblog.de/blog/foren/reply/reply-to-this-is-a-test/
bbpress 2.41 does exactly in this way!
Now – with bbpress 2.5x – the permalink is like this:
mytestblog.de/blog/foren/reply/140/
140 is the ID of the topic reply.
I would like to have it again that way as it runs under bbpress version 2.41. 🙁
Why do I want this?
1. permalink without reply-title, but only with reply-ID is not good for search engines.
2. if I open a reply-post in the admin area, there is no title “reply to: …. (topic title) …” (the title bar is empty) and I do not know to which post this reply refers. This is not good for handling the forum in practice.
Robin, would you be so kind to look again to see if it really is th REPLY-title, which you have in your permalink? I can also take a screenshot to illustrate where my problem is.
Thank you very much for your help!

We’re happy to add extra hooks and filters into bbPress where needed to help facilitate having wpMandrill work with bbPress but someone who knows and understands wpMandrill and the Mandrill API is going to have to give us a hand here.
Okay guys, some good news 🙂
After spending almost the entire day, I finally found a way to get around the “only one bcc email” restriction of Mandrill API. Basically Mandrill API provides a way to trigger individual emails for a list of individual email address. To do that we need to add the list of email address to the the “to” column in a array with type as “bcc” and then set “preserve_recipients” to false.
After I found this I wrote a small plugin by filtering the wp_mail filter and then parsing the “bcc” header and then adding the emails to the “to” array. The full explanation and code is available at http://bulkwp.com/blog/using-wpmandrill-to-send-subscription-notification-from-bbpress/
Note: Strong disclaimer. It currently works for me but there may be lot of corner cases. So first check it in your dev server before adding to a live server.
