Take a look at @peterwsterling polls plugin:

Best bbpress polls plugin

[debi_c]

HI,

new to this plugin.. .so far so good!! Great actually!! but I’m having trouble
1) understanding how to get the bbPress sidebar to show on my page without it showing on all the pages.

2) I tried setting up a bbpress.php page but I’m seeing where to choose that… the dropdown for the templates isn’t showing it. I renamed one of the existing templates to bbpress.php …but it’s not available to choose.

Not sure a link to the site would help since I have it set to maintenance mode…

TIA for the help.

Debi

ps…theme is Mantra, latest versions of both WP and bbpress

Thanks, that is a good thing, basically as your wp_posts table contains 12,878 records it looks like the importer didn’t import any replies, if it had your wp_posts table would be ~350,000.

Presuming you are doing this on a test site I would suggest you reset bbPress (Tools-> Forums-> Reset bbPress) and delete the imported users along with all the previous imported forums, topics and replies and run the import again.

Hello!

I’ve downloaded the Heaven’s Corner theme, and I’ve noticed that whenever I upload new media on my site, the forum grabs that image and sets it as the featured image on the forum index.

the page it’s happening on

Does anyone know how to stop it from doing that? I don’t want any featured images above it.

I’m using 3.9.1 of WP and 2.5.4 of bbPress

Hi all,
I know that there are several post about it, but I’m not able to find a solution for my forum.
It’s password proteceted and I cannot send you any link.

– I have WordPress 3.9.1 and bbpress 2.5.4
– I use Twenty Eleven (I know it’s a bad theme for bbpress)
– I have copied the content of /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default folder in my theme folder
– I have edited all the php files of my /wp-content/themes/mytheme/bbpress folder and commented “get_sidebar()” function
– I have created forum.php and bbpress.php file starting from page.php template and commented “get_sidebar()” function

But I have always the sidebar (below bbpress).

If I use this code

function disable_all_widgets( $sidebars_widgets ) {       
    if ( function_exists('is_bbpress') ) {
        if (is_bbpress()) {
            $sidebars_widgets = array(false);
            remove_all_actions('bp_register_widgets');
            unregister_sidebar( 'bp_core_widgets' );
        }
    }
    return $sidebars_widgets;
}

add_filter('sidebars_widgets', 'disable_all_widgets', 1, 1);

all the widgets disappear, but I have always meta links.

I know I should change theme. Do you have some tips for this one?

Thank you,

Andrea

Hi,
My website has 3 different products which offer 3 different user groups which see content depending on the level of subscription they are on.
In relevance to this the website has 3 different forums silver, gold and platinum.

How can i add a bbress searchbox which only shows search results from the silver bbpress forum (and not show results which searches all of the forums)?

I was thinking of creating 3 different search boxes which are shown or hide depending on the level type (platinum would see a search all forums box, gold users would see a search gold forums box ect).

Any help would be grateful,

thank you

[Dear_Maria]

I hope someone can help. I have tried everything but I cannot figure out how to stop bbpress duplicating the Topic tile under the freshness column

Here’s an example

It should only say ‘funny picture thread’ once

Really hope someone can help

Hi,

I’ve recently migrated a large forum from phpBB to bbPress using the import tool (which has gone extremely smoothly – so thanks to all who have worked on the importer tools!)
Users have been imported successfully, and I can login via wp-admin with the password that was used on the previous phpBB forum… All of that is glorious! 😀

On our site however, I’ve created an ajax login so visitors never have to get in via /wp-admin
The issue I’m having is that whatever code is used to check a users old password and convert it to a WordPress encoded password is not being run when I attempt to log a user in via wp_signon().

Is there a filter or something I can run to ensure that bbPress runs the password conversion when a user logs in via my ajax login prompt?

Hi Stephen Edgar,

Thank you for your answer.
I’ve followed your suggestion, but the only reply I get from WPML support team is the following:

Hello Pedro,

Thank you for get in touch with us with your query!!

Unfortunately BBPress is not compatible with WPML. Our team is working on it, but we do not have a timeline of when it should be ready for download.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

We are closing the ticket but we will keep it in our records and once the plugin is compatible with WPML we will notify you.

Thanks,
Minesh
OnTheGoSystems – Support Department

It is a shame that the supporting team of a paid plugin gives such a poor service.
I started a new topic so I can have an answer of any other forum member, besides support team, I hope.

Do you know where to get the BBPress WPML plugin? Or, of your experience which WPML compatible forum plugin do you recommend?

Kind regards.
Pedro Avila

How does the link:-

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2593

… relate to this issue?

[pwdesign]

Thank you Stephen. I ended up just pulling down all the bbpress plugins…uploading the new patches and activating them one at a time. The site came back. I can breathe now…thanks.

[pwdesign]

Just uploaded https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify-nospam/ 1.5.3. No change. Site still down…please help.

[Stephen Edgar]

@pwdesign, see this post, basically for some reason bbPress is being disabled after updating under certain conditions (not exactly sure what these are yet).

[pwdesign]

I’m a hosting reseller and a client updated bbpress and the same thing happened. The error log reads PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function bbp_get_topic_post_type() in /home5/nwjhogco/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-notify-nospam/bbpress-notify-nospam.php on line 107
Site and admin are completely gone. No access. What can I do before resorting to restoring from an older backup?

[Stephen Edgar]

I think this plugin is supposed to do that, I haven’t tried it personally 😉

The latest WP and bbPress versions,yes…actually tried it again with a fresh install of WP, but same issue and with twenty fourteen and thirteen.
No bbpress login widget, just logging in with the Default WordPress admin login form to get to the dashboard. So correct on the example wp-login.php url you posted. I will use my localhost on XAMPP as an example:

http://localhost/pref/wp-login.php

If I use http://localhost/pref/wp-admin I do get logged into the dashboard. The url becomes

http://localhost/wp39/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2Fwp39%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

when hitting the wp-admin url method.

[Stephen Edgar]

Are you using WordPress 3.9.1 and bbPress 2.5.4?

I’m going to need some detailed steps to reproduce the issue as I cannot.

Are you logging in through the bbPress login widget?

Are you logging in via http://example.com/wp-login.php and then redirected to your front page?

What happens if you open http://example.com/wp-admin and login via that URL?
(After hitting the above URL you should now have a URL similar to:
http://example.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1)

Thanks for the reply… If you are referring to the admin bar plugin for bbPress, that I don’t have, just the default WP user admin bar. I just finished testing all plugins I have installed, and one by one testing the login (each time closing the browser out), but as soon as I activate bbPress, that is when this phenomenon happens…I log into the dashboard and finding myself staring at the site’s front-page. I still have to add a subpage url to the browser address bar, or use the user admin bar at the top to get to the dashboard.

So, there is something about bbPress that is doing the front page redirect…even if I make bbPress the only active plugin. This does it on my local XAMPP location, as well as my demo site on a live server.

Incidentally, I’m on the latest WP and bbPress versions.

[Stephen Edgar]

Yes, this is normal and the default for bbPress 2.5.4, when you click ‘reply’ it links to the #new-post form at the bottom of the topic.

[aborruso]

Hi Stephen,
I have updated my site to WordPress 3.9.1 and bbPress 2.5.4.

I have the post reply button, but the reply href of reply is not related to the post ID, but it is related to new post.

In this forum instead you have https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/topic_name/?bbp_reply_to=147344&_wpnonce=fda342eb5b#new-post

Is it normal?

Hi,
I tried everything : desactivate plugins, change themes, and even reset wordpress database..
I followed every possible guide.
but nothing worked! I always get the bullet points as a list for my forums..
The link to my forum-test: http://comment-devenirriche.com/forums/
Can anyone help ?
Thank you 🙂
WordPress version: 3.9.1, bbPress version: 2.0.1, my site: http://comment-devenirriche.com/

I just installed bbPress and discovering that as the admin, if I log into my WordPress dashboard, I am redirected to the site’s front page…no dashboard. I have to add a sub page to the url in my browser to get there. If I enable the admin bar, then I can use that to get into the dashboard home page. However, if I uninstall bbPress, it goes back to normal…I login and I am on my dashboard home page.

Any ideas what is causing this?

[Stephen Edgar]

Everything is stored in the wp_posts table including WordPress posts, pages, bbPress forums, topics and replies so a rough guess here is that the 12,000 topics have been imported but not the replies.

If your comfortable using phpMyAdmin can you run this query for me on your vBulletin 3 database:

SELECT
post.postid AS postid,
thread.forumid AS forumid,
post.threadid AS threadid,
post.ipaddress AS ipaddress,
post.userid AS userid,
post.pagetext AS pagetext,
post.dateline AS dateline 
FROM post AS post 
INNER JOIN thread AS thread USING (threadid) 
WHERE post.parentid != 0

That should return the first 30 rows of your 346,000 replies, does it? Or do you get an error?

[Leonyipa]

Because I really want to have a POLL system for my BBPRESS but I cannot find any 🙁

[Stephen Edgar]

You need to also use the bbPress WPML plugin, you need to ask WPML for a copy of the plugin as it it is not publicly available.
