Hi there,

I’m looking for a little help and guidance with the transfer of a forum.

We’ve been updating a website which runs a bbpress forum. We’ve developed the new wordpress site on a dummy domain using ‘Duplicator’ to copy the old website over and run the various theme / design updates. Whilst we have been doing this the current website has still be running.

We now need to copy the forum activity which has happened in the last 3 weeks from the current site to update the new design before transferring it all back the live domain.

Hope this makes sense!

For clarification we run:-
Wordpress 3.9.1
BBPress 2.5.4
S2Member 140614
Proper live domain:- lifeafterlondon.com
Dummy test domain:- lifeafterlondon.co.uk

It was is not working on a page where i added bbpress forum shortcode. It works everywhere else, like posts, forum root etc.

If it were me, I’d start by looking through here:
http://www.sourcexref.com/xref/bbpress/nav.html?includes/users/capabilities.php.source.html

and probably try using bbp_set_user_role (starting on line 58) to change the role.

But I haven’t done it, so that who knows if that would work!

[Robin W]

I’d suggest you contact the theme authors support site. If they are advertising it as bbpress compatibl;e they should be able to tell you.

I’m updating this because it’s not a bbPress issue. I mean, it’s in bbPress but it’s not a bug. I have a dev site made from the site in March and user reply pagination is working on there. As far as I can tell, *nothing* is different about the two. I updated the dev site, one bit at a time, it was tedious, to match the live site and the pagination still works correctly.

So I don’t know. If anyone has any ideas, please shout (and then type it down). I had a similar-ish problem on a different site and it was a WP_query issue, so I think something might be affecting that. But where? And why only there? All the other pagination is working correctly.

We may never know.

With the 30,000+ plugins in the WordPress Plugin Directory bbPress does it’s best to be compatible with as many as we can, sometimes conflicts happen.

It shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes to deactivate your other plugins one by one until you see the bbPress menus active which will then give you the name of the plugin causing the conflict and allow you to re-enable the other plugins you have disabled.

Once you have the name of the plugin we can try to work out why there is a conflict and without the name of the plugin we have no hope of knowing what the issue is.

I was wanting to use BBPress but I have had the same problem (WP 3.8.2). No settings showing up at all in the Dashboard. After trying to resolve this I have just hit a brick wall and I am not going to disable all my plugins and/or abandon some plugins.

And yes, I note in all the forum threads a hint of arrogance and dismissiveness on the part of the developers. And there is NOTHING in the setup instructions on how to get around/warn about these issues.

So I will not be using BBPress.

[cstef]

It looks like the ID of the parent is the old vanilla ID and not the new bbpress post ID, is there a way for me to make sure it saves the new ID as the parent?

thanks!

Here are my forums as they currently are: http://zimbabwe-today.com/forums/

Sorry to be the simple one here but I am really not seeing what I am supposed to do to get the sidebar in the forum. I installed BBpress WP Tweaks and added the BBpress login widget but I am not seeing anything. What am I supposed to do next? I created a bbpress.php file but I don’t see what code I should put in it that references the sidebar that I will be using. Is it some variation of this: <?php if (!function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar(‘Page Sidebar’)): endif; ?>

Please let me know.

Thanks

The solution lies in : wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php

Currently it is this : $do_not_reply = '<noreply@' . ltrim( get_home_url(), '^(http|https)://' ) . '>';

Needs to be: $do_not_reply = '<noreply@' . str_replace("www.","",ltrim( get_home_url(), '^(http|https)://' )) . '>';

I got this issue on my server w the latest bbPress update. I believe the most recent ticket will fix it in the next update, but this is what we did internally and it’s working.

@netweb

Yes, I did both. 2618.4.diff would not affect me though. I did verify the email address was correct in the Mandrill dashboard, noreply@connections-pro.com, but they were still being rejected.

I made sure to deactivate two plugins I’m using to make sure they were not inferring just incase they need to be updated to work correctly with the bcc change.

Those plugins were:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-custom-reply-notifications/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-new-topic-notifications/

I saw that both @jchristopher and @sudar mention they had to hardcode an email address that wpMandrill knows about. I’m wondering if I need to use one of the new filters to change the noreply address to a real valid address for wpMandrill to send the email without rejecting it. If I could figure out what they did to resolve their issue, but use a filter instead of hard coding it, that seems like it would solve my problem in a update safe way.

For now I’m still using the functions.php file from 2.5.3 (I have 2.5.4 installed).

What I mean by previous method is, in 2.5.4, notifications are sent as a “group” bcc was as in 2.5.3 it was one email per notification (right?).

Robin, thank you very much for your feedback, so it does not feel so alone. 🙁

I have two test areas at two different hosters. Both WP and bbpress is installed and runs identically with the same theme and – at the moment – without other plugins. BOTH give only up to version 2.41 the reply-title automatically in the title bar. I have deinstalled and installed several times versions after 2.50. My hope was that the problem only occurs with one of the two webservers and so I could find a trace, but the problem is in both installations.

All versions after 2.41 (without plugins and with WP standard theme) have this issue.

It would be great if Stephen would stop by. He would certainly have an idea on what I could still keep trying.

Thanks again for your feedback!!

I installed the BBPress plugin to use as a forum for Lost & Found. The only problem we have run into involves the search function of BBPress overriding the Search function we already have on our site. This function is very important to us as people search our faculty and staff and our large site constantly.

I’m having trouble figuring out how to delete or disable all search functions for bbpress so that our site continues to use the search functions that we setup.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Our website is http://daniels.du.edu

[Robin W]

yes, start with

bbp additional shortcodes

This list the last 5 topics across all the forums, and your friend should be able to crack it open

the end function

function rw_display_topic_index_query( $args = array() ) {
		global $show ;
		$args['author']        = 0;
		$args['show_stickies'] = true;
		$args['order']         = 'DESC';
		$args['posts_per_page'] = $show ;
		return $args;
	}

just needs an extra parameter to get the right forum,

If you get him to also look at

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/shortcodes

he’ll find some useful code to do that

[Robin W]

I’m here, but this is beyond my technical knowledge – I was hoping that Stephen would pick this up, but he hasn’t – he may be away, or think that I have it under control 🙂

Ok, so with no other plugins and 2.54 you have this problem??

I have 2.54 with twentyten and no issues, permalinks are topic title.

So must be peculiar to your site – so something needs setting/resetting, and obviously permalinks aren’t the answer as they’re working with wordpress. So bbpress is not playing nicely.

How much of a test area do you have that you can try stuff in?

[Mareva]

Whatever, I’ve found another “strange behaviour” for the bbpress search (but this one is irrelevant to Private Group).
I’ll have a look on the forum before and maybe post a new topic!

[Morgensonne]

Is there any nice guy who likes to help me?
I can use bbpress only up to version 2.41 ………..
Please, give me a response. I do not know what to do now, I’m helpless ………

Robin…. are you still there ??? 🙁

Thank you says
Morgensonne

[Robin W]

but I use Oblivion theme witch is compatible with bbpress

In which case it is a problem with another plugin.

If that doesn’t fix, then consult themefroest on how the compatible theme works.

Hi!

I’m searching for a bbproles field in the wordpress/bbpress database but with no luck. In wich table and row are they stored? What I want to do is create a form who change the user role if an “update user role code” facilitated by forum admin is correct.

Thank you very much in advance for your replies. 🙂

[Momo63zzz]

I’ll try this, but I use Oblivion theme witch is compatible with bbpress…

Com and see:

[yoshimitsu1234]

I want to add “border-bottom: 1px solid #F1F1F1” to bbpress widgets recent topics and recent replies. How do i do that?

[zinamarina]

Hi there,
I’m thinking of using bbpress to create a forum in my blog. For now it has to be very simple but in a few months I would like to create something with more features. My question is if I will be able to migrate everything (users database, forums…) to a different forum software?

Thank you very much! Any help will be appreciated!

Hi,

I work on a WordPress Theme with bbpress integration and the user account are linked with the forums. But the Avatars are not working properly.
If the users use facebook connect to create their account, bbpress use their facebook avatar, whether they change their account avatar or not. I want to customize code to make sure bbpress always use the user account avatar but I can’t find where is the logic behind this.
Can you give me some elements as to where I need to make modifications?

Thanks!

I’m having a problem with this still, in bbpress 2.5.3, WordPress 3.9.1, Buddypress 2.0.1

In a public forum associated with a site, logged-in Buddpyress users who are not a member of that individual site get a 404 error because they don’t have ‘spectate’ privileges.
Is that expected behaviour?
N.B. I have tweaked things so that visiting users are *not* automatically set up with a site role. I only give them bbp_participant status if they already have a role in the blog site. Is that the issue?

In debugging, I notice that in bbpress/includes/users/capabilities.php the visiting bbpress user who is not a member of the site is mapped a list of capabilities, including ‘specate’. However, in bbp_forum_enforce_blocked, the capabilities of the WordPress user are checked for spectate, not the bbp user. Hence the 404. If I check for the bbp user’s capabilities inside bbp_forum_enforce_blocked, they have been reset in any case.

Can anyone give guidance on this? Thanks.

My site is a membership site, using SSL.

For a user who want to cancel the membership, I set his user role from “admin panel” > “users”
as below;

Site Role
– No role for this site –

Forum role
– No role for these forums –

After this setting, a withdrawal user logged in, the setting of “Forum role” was automatically backed and changed to;

Forum role
– Participant –

“Site Role” is remained as I’ve set.
(I’m setting “Participant” as a default member’s role.)

How could I validly keep setting “Forum role” for a withdrawal user to “- No role for these forums -” ?

WordPress ver. 3.9.1
Using bbPress ver. 2.5.4
