Suspect it is theme or plugin related!
Normally I’d just post the standard text viz
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.
but with 29 plugins that could take you a while ! and it could even be a combination.
Think I’d start with a quick theme change to eliminate that and then I suppose it depends on who needs access as non admin but able to add links as to whether you plough through and work out where it is failing.
Thank you John,
You’re right. At somem point I used a script to change the database to UTF8 (c22.php).
I have also some trouble migrating to new versions of ipb and have to ask for support each time I want to update now…
I have to figure out this issue before trying to go further with bbpress.
@robin-w thanks for the function. This is not going to be as easy as I expected.
It was easy to hook into the new user creation with “user_register”, but WordPress is gives me a “Fatal error: Call to undefined function” when I try to call bbp_add_user_forum_subscription from this hook (my theme’s function.php).
I saw somewhere else that some functions need to be run within a bbpress loop?
@iclimb, I’ll be happy to share if I get it working.
@pasquale-galasso
Thanks, glad you are finding it useful. The unlimited groups version is on it’s way, I’ve coded it, but just need to tidy up the user interface.
bbPress have said that they intend to have groups in the core product at some stage, but I have no idea on timescales.
I don’t see this coming to bbPress in the near future, we do our best to support anonymous posting with an alias and email address but reserving a username against an email address is basically the same as registering on the site.
@stagger-lee Thanks for the heads up and I’m glad you eventually got your site converted, hopefully we will get all these issues nailed down in the not to distant future so there will be a free open source importer/converter for Joomla’s Kunena forums to bbPress 🙂
Awesome… It is late here and I will take a closer look in the morning 🙂
Any chance you could post an example database scheme layout (even better a MySQL export)
It would only need to have a couple of categories, couple of forums, couple of topics, couple of replies, a couple of topic categories, a couple of xyz etc?
I can read the database schema so much easier than trying to have a conversation trying to explain the DB schema 😉
That said a couple of quick points, we can join tables together or join the same table to filter topics from replies and replies from topics.
Most likely your ‘forums’ section isn’t quite right, again this will be an issue of just mapping the correct fields to the source database schema, likewise for topic parents, they will have one in the database schema somewhere.
Counts also do not matter, they help but are not essential, we have built in tools to recount this when needed.
I’m more than happy to take a look with you and add this to the growing collection of bbPress importers 🙂
@robin-w Your plugin is great, so great. I wonder if I will soon be inserted into the native code bbPress
Hello,
I’ve built a Document Management System with WP and recently I’ve installed bbPress. Since then the insert link pop-up when editing posts show no search results. Even if search text is left empty, no result posts are listed. Only when logged in as an Admin, it works properly.
When I deactivate bbPress the pop-up contains search results for non-Admin users as well.
Some details:
– WP 3.9.1 on Genesis Framework
– bbPress 2.5.3 and Genesis Extend 1.0.2
– Press Permit Core / PP Collaborative Editing Pack / PP Compatibility Pack
– about 29 active plugins in total
The site is completely private, so a link won’t help.
Best regards,
Roland Bouman
The function is
bbp_add_user_forum_subscription
it is in
bbpress/includes/users/functions.php
you pass it user-id and forum_id
I am looking for a site wide advanced search plugin so I can have 1 search widget that will search both bbPress and wordpress and have advanced settings if possible.
Thanks for your time.
Hi,
I would like to hook in so any new user is automatically subscribed to a forum. I know the user ID and forum ID, but I do not know what function I should call to subscribe that user to the forum. Thanks for the help!
bbPress 2.5.3

If you want a quick solution to this
create a directory within your theme called bbpress
ie wp-content/your-theme-name/bbpress
And into this folder copy the following file
bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php
Then alter this file to have a new line 175 as follows
<p> <?php echo do_shortcode ('[bbp-login]') ; ?>
so that
<div id="no-reply-<?php bbp_topic_id(); ?>" class="bbp-no-reply">
<div class="bbp-template-notice">
<p><?php is_user_logged_in() ? _e( 'You cannot reply to this topic.', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'You must be logged in to reply to this topic.', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>
</div>
</div>
becomes
<div id="no-reply-<?php bbp_topic_id(); ?>" class="bbp-no-reply">
<div class="bbp-template-notice">
<p><?php is_user_logged_in() ? _e( 'You cannot reply to this topic.', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'You must be logged in to reply to this topic.', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>
<p> <?php echo do_shortcode ('[bbp-login]') ; ?>
</div>
</div>
Save this file, and bbpress will use this and a login panel will be displayed.
If my response in
Why is BBPress not following css?
does not solve it, please respond on that thread
Thanks
@tieptoep thanks, I’ve taken a look at the trac and it seems to definitely have to do with permalinks but I’m not sure if the creator of the ticket (alexvorn2) is referring to the same solution as I and others are asking for (see above examples).
for example, alexvorn2 has this as an example:
1) pretty url: http://example.com/forum/subforum/custom_topic_title
structure will be: http://example.com/%forumparentsnames%/%topicname%
But the second line doesn’t seem to correspond to the permalink structure shown in the first line. Specifically, he seems to have left out the slug for the subforum! Or maybe I’m missing something.
It is very disappointing to see JJJ throw this in ‘future releases’ which is basically where trac tickets go to die. And to change the priority: “Priority changed from normal to low” and “Severity changed from normal to minor” and ” Type changed from defect to enhancement” when in fact I and many others would argue there is nothing that is, has been and will continue to be the highest priority ticket (until it is fixed) and there is nothing more severe and this is most definitely a defect, *not* an enhancement.
These changes sadly tells us, the users, just how much we have failed to communicate to the devs (or how much they have failed to actually listen to us – or a combination of both).
As for attempts to solve this, @dbungard shares some code in the previous page of this very thread. As well, I linked earlier to several other past attempts at the solution. I think user @mr_pelle was the developer of the bbPress nicer permalinks plugin but that was many years ago (3+?) and he doesn’t seem to be active on the forum. As well, the plugin is nowhere to be found.
There has been no feedback or response from devs on any of this code, even when another user specifically asks for that in the past page.
This issue is so fundamental to the very core of bbPress functioning that I question whether it is something that can be hacked together with a plugin, bailing wire and a convoluted .htaccess file.
I totally forgot about a file you worked on back 7 months or so ago importing from VB4. You where helping figure all this out. As it turns out I ended not moving to WordPress at that time.
Fast forward to this thread…I went back to this thread https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/import-forums-error/
and downloaded the vb convert.php file you had been working on and did a new import with it and it worked!
YouTube and SoundCloud are working as they did in VB4 posts! All threads open up!
The only issue new is crumbs. Once you click into a post the crumbs look like this (Home>Topic>Topic Title) you loose Forum crumb. Also Stickies post colors are very light in color?
You are welcome to check out the forum here. The music forum has lots of SoundCloud and you can see YouTube in the Reason lounge,
Hi, I am using the following code to hide my menu/navbar and search form from my site.
‘/* Remove nav bar and search form */
.page #nav-bar {
display: none;
}
.page #s {
display: none;
}’
It seems to work wonders on all pages except BBPress pages.
Now when I set my permalinks to “Default” the navbar and search form are removed on bbpress pages, but when I have them to anything else, the navbar shows up again (but only on bbpress pages).
Does anyone have an explanation for this?
Or can someone point me in the direction of how to remove it without having to have “Default” permalinks set (which I can’t due to buddypress)
bbpress topics have ‘you need to be logged in to post reply’ at the bottom of the topic, but it doesn’t give any option to login. I do I offer login at in forums or topics so readers and login to post replies?
sorry it was the weekend, and all the helpers on here are volunteers on have jobs and a social life to lead as well 🙂 please be patient.
The coding for this is quite complicated, but I’d suggest you start by looking at the bbp_has_topics function in
bbpress/includes/topics/template
this will give you a lot of the code for pagination
I have a forum running WP Symposium and WordPress, all current versions, that I want to convert to bbPress. Won’t elaborate on reasons unless deemed to do so, LOL.
I have first started with a converter of my own, which was creating custom post types for forums, topics, and replies. Unfortunately, counters in bbPress weren’t set, so the frontend pages were incorrect, replies were not chained one after the other in topics, etc.
While digging these issues, I found out that bbPress has its own converter that works using modules. So I started over by creating a module, based on the existnig ones and URLs given in this forum, and tried to make it work for forums, first. But, they simply won’t convert, whatever I try I get ‘no forums to convert’.
While I have a relatively good knowledge of WP Symposium database tables, via custom developments etc., I’m at a loss on bbPress side. Hopefully someone can catch my call so we work together on adding WPS to the list of importable plateforms for bbPress…?
Thanks a lot,
Antoine
This is currently how bbPress works if you have ‘revisions’ enabled each time a topic or reply is edited a new log entry will appear as per your image.
We have a ticket somewhere in Trac to update this similar to the UI experience for WordPress post or page revisions, I just kind find it right at this minute 😉
Edit: Oops, your are displaying twice, give what Robin wrote above a try 😉

I’ve taken a look through trac and found a similar feature request (). Could you take a look at it to see if this is similar enough, if not I’ll see if I could open a new ticket to get this to the attention of the developers.
I would suggest you upgrade to WordPress 3.9.1.
Ultimate TinyMCE is NOT compatible with WordPress 3.9.x and is being replaced by WPEdit (it is worth reading the info via that link and the alternatives it offers)
I would suggest switching to Twenty Thirteen or Twenty Fourteen themes and disable all your plugins except bbPress to narrow things down.
Once you see bbPress working with the code in your original post to enable bbPress Visual Editor then go from there… Enable your theme, does it still work? Next try one of the TinyMCE plugins with the default options, does it still work? Now update any settings in that plugin, does it still work? Now enable your other plugins one by one, does it still work?
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.
