Does anyone know if its possible in bbPress to have a new button for creating a new topic or posting a reply? I don’t really like having mine at the bottom of the page.

Thanks!

Don’t use WP_DEBUG i.e. define('WP_DEBUG', false); in your wp-cong.php file is the simple answer.

It will be one of your plugins ‘doing it wrong’

For more technical details on the error see any/all of this tickets 😉 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/24169

Oh, my bad, the plugin description is “This is a simple plugin that adds a recaptcha validation to the bbPress 2.0 topic creation and topic reply forum.” so it is not actually a recaptcha for the login page 😉

bbpress.org is hooked into wordpress.org so spam bots are handled by the WordPress team 😉

Have another look through the WordPress plugins for one that does what you require, there are a quite a few of them.

I just tested using [bbp-forum-index] and [bbp-topic-index] on a page and it worked fine for me.

Are you using a plugin to make the forums private or is it just a bbPress forum set to private?

Can you switch to the Twenty Fourteen theme and refresh your page and see if that works and/or disable all your other plugins to check for a conflict.

I just installed the current version 1.5.3 and have no issues

This Fatal error: Call to undefined function bbp_get_topic_post_type(), are you sure bbPress is activated?

Hi,

I’ve followed your the link, configured as mentioned but still the same.

My problem is not about having the BBPress interface in Portuguese. My problem is about not being able to set a Topic’s Forum attribute when I set the Topic’s language as Portuguese.

Let me try to be more specific, with step by step instrutions so you can replicate my issue:

a) Create 2 Forum, one in English and the other in Portuguese;

b) Press the “New Topic” link;

c) Set the new topic, by filling out the topic’s title and body text;

d) On the right part of the topic screen/form, on the “Language” section choose “Portugues”. Please notice that, on the Topic’s attributes section, no forum is listed;

e) On the right part of the topic screen/form, on the “Language” section choose “English”. Please notice that, on the Topic’s attributes section, a forum is listed;

To summarize, everytime I try to set the topic’s language other than English, in my case Portuguese, the topic’s forum attribute list is empty, and if I switch back the topic’s language to English the topic’s forum attribute list gets populated.

I’m using WPML plugin to manage multilanguage.

Can anyone help me please?

Kind regards.

After update from 2.5.3 to 2.5.4 my website is completely down with the following message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bbp_get_topic_post_type() in /home/user/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-notify-nospam/bbpress-notify-nospam.php on line 107

Any suggestions?

Good evening MrRobinW and MrStephenEdgar!
Japan is currently rainy season.
I like rainy days as well as sunny days.

Well, I need your help again…(Of course my website is going well these days!)

This time, I wanna remove a <option> tag
with adding php function into “function.php” of WordPress.

At a create-topic page, users can select one specific forum.
And the souse code is like…

<label for="bbp_forum_id">in forum</label><br />
<select name="bbp_forum_id" id="bbp_forum_id" tabindex="103">
<option value="" class="level-0">select：</option>
<option class="level-0" value="1">Apple</option>
<option class="level-0" value="2">Banana</option>
<option class="level-0" value="3">Grapes</option>
<option class="level-0" value="4">Elephant</option>
</select>

In my website, these 4 forums has been set to the public,
and I don’t wanna change the setting.

However, I do not show the last one (Elephant!) to every users at the time.
In this case, what code should I put into the “function.php” of WordPress.

For me, The case is too difficult to solve.orz
Would you please advice me…

many thanks

How do you guys stop SPAM Bots from registering at your BBPress Forum?

Hello everyone!

First let me say, that I am not sure if the problem is coming from bbpress. Please let me know it is a general problem.

The reason I am posting the problem here is, that it appeared right after todays bbpress-update, and there’s also a reference in the message.

This is the error message I am reciving (debugging enabled):

Warning: mysql_connect(): Headers and client library minor version mismatch. Headers:50535 Library:50617 in /home/www/xxx/www/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1372

Strict Standards: Declaration of BP_Poke_Component::includes() should be compatible with BP_Component::includes($includes = Array) in /home/www/xxx/www/wp-content/plugins/bp-poke/bp-poke-component.php on line 57

The strange thing is, that I am running an exact mirror of the page and db on a subdomain, where I am testing plugins, etc. There I am not getting the error.

I did had a search on google, but couldn’t find anything helpful. As I am not a coder or server-tech myself, I am a bit lost here. I did try a few things, like disableing plugins, or enabling another theme. But nothing helped so far.

Here’s a list of plugins I am using right now:

• (BuddyDev)BP Poke
• Advanced Custom Fields
• bbPress
• bbPress New Topics
• BuddyPress
• CodeStyling Localization
• iThemes Security
• Members
• Regenerate Thumbnails
• Require Featured Image
• rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress
• Tehnik BBPress Permissions
• WP Smush.it

I thought it might be a problem with iThemes Security, so I tryed to disable a few things, and also disabled the whole plugin. But the problem is still the same.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Best regards,

Lumartist

Hi,

My bbpress is working fine. I just want the recent topics to be displayed on my forum-root-page.

The site can be found here http://schole.at/intern/ (you cannot see the forum index, as the site forum is private, but the site shows the problem anyway).

I use a page with shortcodes. Using the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] just displays the forum index. But when i try to use the shortcode [bbp-topic-index] the result is as u can see in the link above: it just shows the shortcode itselve.

I would just like to have the recent topics to be diplayed as they are here in the forum root on bbpress.org/forums

Thanx for your help.

Hi folks,

I want to change my WP forum software from SP to bbPress. I made a backup, deactivated SP, installed bbPress and went to Tools > Forums > Import Forums. There I entered all necessary data.

When I start the conversion, the user import runs endlessly.

Let’s say I have 3 users (actually I have more, but just to make it simple). When I stopped the import after over 4000 users and looked into my database, I got this:

user1
user2
user3
imported_user1
imported_user2
imported_user3
imported_imported_user1
imported_imported_user2
imported_imported_user3
imported_imported_imported_user1
…

What am I doing wrong??

Hi Stephen,

I just updated to bbPress 2.5.4 and noticed the css load issue again. I’ve created a patch and my first trac ticket here!

<div class="bbp-forum-last-topic-name"><a href="<?php bbp_forum_last_topic_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php bbp_forum_last_topic_title(); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_last_topic_title(); ?></a></div>

Problem: As shown in the picture, there are those items “Forum topics” “Forum reply” “Topics” and “Replies”. The “Forum topics” and “Forum reply” are always empty.

Possible cause: I installed bbpress and buddypresss.

Please help me delete “Forum topics” and “Forum reply” . Thank you.

[Jerry]

I thought I was getting good at digging into the codex and css files and using themes to customize, until I tried this. This widget sits in a sidebar and lets the user selects the most popular topics for display, or topics with no replies. I simply want to change the wording for those selections. For example, I want to change “Most popular topics” to “Most Reviewed Books”

Here is a link to one of my pages. You can see the widget links I want to change under “View List of Books” http://whosgotbooks.com/book-reviews/

I have tried using firebug to figure out where this is, and done exhaustive word searching within bbpress files. I am at a loss. Please help.

Update to bbPress 2.5.4 that was just released and then run each of the bbPress repair tools

Dashboard -> Tools -> Forums

(Though it looks like you may have already done that now)

[Stephen Edgar]

This is now fixed and resolved in bbPress 2.5.4, download the update and run the bbPress Repair Tool “Recalculate the reply position of replies” and that should fix the issue.

[Stephen Edgar]

I’m really not sure what else I can suggest, my recommendation still stands to upgrade WordPrress and bbPress to the latest versions.

The only other suggestion that ‘may’ work when using bbPress 2.5.4 without the Thesis Theme compat is to add a bbPress wrapper template in your theme directory that may stop issue 2 from occurring.

Try creating a file in the root of your theme called bbpress.php and putting the following code into it

<?php
/**
 * bbPress wrapper template.
 
 */

get_header(); ?>

<?php while( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>

	<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress and BuddyPress include the pagination at the top and bottom by default.

Your custom theme appears to not do that, most likely the template you need to edit is either content-single-topic.php or content-single-topic-lead.php and look for something similar to:

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'replies' ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop',       'replies' ); ?>

And change that to:

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'replies' ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop',       'replies' ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'replies' ); ?>

If your not comfortable doing that then contact the theme author for details.

[Stephen Edgar]

I’d suggest using a plugin rather than reCaptcha directly

There are a few various anti-spam, anti-bot, captcha type plugins available that work with bbPress in WordPress plugin repo https://wordpress.org/plugins/

e.g. https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-recaptcha/

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress 2.5.4 is out. It fixes 5 bugs, the last of which is a security concern for all previous bbPress 2.x installations.

The following bugs have been fixed in 2.5.4:

#2586 – Fix ‘Replies in each forum’ repair tool, to prevent breaking the reply position.
#2496 – Support slashes in slug settings, and improve sanitization of these fields.
#2518 – Improve handling of SSL assets when relying on theme compatibility.
#2588 – Fix bug when editing a reply that would pollute hierarchical replies in that topic.
#2610 – Properly handle escaping of displayed user fields and data when editing a user.

Excuse me – didn’t occur to me that “visual editor” was referring to TinyMCE. I do not have TinyMCE running on my bbPress, just a regular editor like the one in this forum.

Hello BBPress Team,

WP version 3.9.1 BBP Version 2.5.3

On our website http://www.starroyaltyent.com/forum-index/ we have over 100 spam bots that come and register because don’t have a reCAPTCHA on the forum registration.

I am trying to figure out how to install the reCAPTCHA on the bbp forum when users register:

http://www.starroyaltyent.com/forum-index/

Any answer here would be greatly appreciated. Losing my mind with all these bots.

Thank you for your time.
