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. 🙂

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

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 -” ?

Is there any way to completely skip the forums index? I don’t see why I would need multiple forums when I can have 1 main forum with different topics.

Yes you can skip the forum index, just create a page and put one of the shortcodes on it

https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

In your case you’d use

[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] – Display a single forums topics. eg. [bbp-single-forum id=32]

[Stephen Edgar]

I have just added a patch, you need r5409 applied before adding 2618.4.diff

[seanwes]

Changeset 5409 fixed it for me.

However, I still have the following issue:

My website is seanwes.com. Notifications are now coming from noreply@eanwes.com (notice no ‘s’).

I have the proper address hardcoded in the mean time.

Yes, Mandrill don’t like the angle brackets in front of the email address.

The patch that I made for this just got merged into bbPress trunk https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2618

Bcc’ing all subscribers didn’t cause any issue with mandrill for me after I removed the angle brackets from the do_not_reply email address.

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

[meowmethod]

Hey Robin, thanks for your reply

I followed step 8 exactly as they said. I renamed the following files to bbpress.php

content-rightsidebar.php – when I did this both the /forums and /forums/forum/test-forum/ became very distorted – as if no theme was present.

I tried the same with
page-template-blog-full-content.php
page-template-blog-image-large.php
page-template-blog-image-medium.php

Again /forums doesn’t display properly. And /forums/forum/test-forum/ works like usual.

Is there any way to completely skip the forums index? I don’t see why I would need multiple forums when I can have 1 main forum with different topics.

http://www.meowmethod.com/forums/ – does not work
http://www.meowmethod.com/forums/forum/test-forum/ – works

[Stephen Edgar]

I just also added this to the docs https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/vanilla/

[Stephen Edgar]

I just saw your message in #bbpress IRC chat room

The bbPress Vanilla2 importer does not support threaded replies out of the box, there are far too many plugins available for all the forum packages to try and support all the possible permutations and combinations these would cause.

So that said, you would have to modify the importer to support the ‘ReplyTo’ Vanilla plugin, I just took a quick peek at the plugin and here you go, add the snippet of code here to the reply section or use the full file and replace your current bbPress Vanilla2.php file I added here and I think will do the trick.

[Killerrabbit2]

Subscribing to specific topics sends an appropriate email. However, if any level user in the forum subscribes to a forum, not just a topic, the notifications are not sent.

Ideas?

WP V. 3.9.1
bbPress v 2.5.4

[Robin W]

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, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

and see

Have you been through

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[Jon Christopher]

It looks like the issue is compounded by

// Setup the From header
$headers[] = 'From: ' . get_bloginfo( 'name' ) . ' ' . $do_not_reply;

as well. Mandrill complains that the format isn’t an email address and fails validation. Not sure if this is a change in the latest bbPress update but I had to modify that as well.

Running a few tests, it looks like the new BCC setup continues to work as expected through Mandrill.

Hi, I recently installed bbPress and BuddyPress to create a forum. Everything is looking great so far except the /forums page. It is not displaying correctly. I am using the Interface Theme (free WordPress theme) which supports both bbPress and BuddyPress. You can see the problem below:

http://www.meowmethod.com/forums

The forum topics ARE working, so my problem is only with the forums page.

http://www.meowmethod.com/forums/forum/test-forum/

Troubleshooting:
*** The problem goes away when I activated the 2014 WordPress Theme, but I don’t want to use that one. So I am inclined to believe that it might be a theme problem. ***
I don’t have a forums wordpress page created (problem occurs with one created). The problem persists with BuddyPress deactivated.

I would appreciate any opinions and advice !!
Thanks in advance 🙂

I am using WordPress Version 3.9.1
and the latest version of bbPress (installed today).

hello

i have a wordpress site with bbpress installed. i have 3 subforums in bbpress. on the homepage of my wordpress site, i would like to list out those 3 forums with the lastest 5 posts from each.

please take a look at this image:

the styling doesn’t have to look like the attached as long as i can list out the individual subforums and 5 of its most recent posts.

i have setup 3 columns with ability to put shortcodes.

i tried using some of the shortcodes provided by bbpress with no luck.

SOS please!!! i’m running out of options…lol

thanks in advance,

chris

Hi,

@netweb many thanks for the info:

If you use WordPress 4.0.x (Any alpha or beta of the next version of WordPress) bbPress will not work, we are currently investigating this.

Please post when this issue has been resolved.

no joy to-date – on test local installs – but no pain either!

Hello,

I have imported a Vanilla forum to a new bbpress install. The Vanilla forum was using the Reply To plugin to nest the replies: http://vanillaforums.org/addon/replyto-plugin

The nested replies did not transfer to the new bbpress forum. Is there any way I can get these nested positions to transfer?

This is only affecting the imported posts, I have nested replies turned on and new replies nest properly. I did run the “recalculate position of each reply” repair tool.

Thanks!
