Your forums are showing in your settings.
Mine are not so maybe since bbPress are claiming 2.5.3 is compatible to 3.9 there could be a confict with the theme: I’m using twentyfourteen or another plugin installed could be the problem.

Plugins installed could be the issue try deactivating all your plugins to see if it fixes things. Then active each plugin one by one to establish which plugins are causing the problem.

Don’t install an older version of wordpress quite just yet.

‘Sorry for my english. ‘ – do not apologise your English is excellent !

Ok, I have just re-tested and I do not get that issue – I can create pages and posts fine.

You could just try deleting and re-installing the plugin just to eliminate any load issues – unless you have just downloaded it, maybe download the latest version from my website so that we are both on version 1.4.

Then maybe we should try to eliminate plugin and theme conflicts

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.

Come back and let me know.

[Robin W]

If you’re not seeing settings>forums in the reading/writing list then either your install is faulty or you have a conflict – these can cause parts of the backend to not display/go missing.

The easiest way to check would be to disable all plugins except bbp and switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve. If it all show up ok in that then either theme or plugin related, and you can start to work out which. However you may not want to do that on your live site !!!

Maybe get your test site going, and then revisit bbpress ?

[Stephen Edgar]

A quick look on CyberChimps web site shows that they support bbPress with the iRibbon theme.

I suggest you shoot them a support request or look through there forum for a solution

Closing in favor of the other topic here 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

You should look to a WordPress plugin for this, not specificly bbPress.

You should look at using a 3rd party email provider for this to ensure your emails sent to 22k user is not flagged as spam as there will be a high change it will if you do yourself unless you do it over the space of a few days in batches.

E.g. Start from here and find one that can do what you are looking for:

bbPress does not include ‘unread’ topics/replies out of the box, there are a few plugins that add this feature but I have no idea if any are supported by Tapatalk.

[Stephen Edgar]

Just run the repair tool “Remap existing users to default forum roles”

Whatever role you have set in bbPress ‘Auto role’ the default is ‘Participant’ will be assigned to all the users except ‘Administrators’ they will be assigned the bbPress role ‘Keymaster”

[phpnukes]

What version of wordpress are you using?

Looks like this development is still alive judging from their date of blog posts.

However bbpress is not up to date as from today’s date with wordpress 3.9

Broken
2.5.3 Tested on wordpress 3.9 it says installed but no admin forum links in the wordpress admin settings.

may work with older versions of wordpress

Must be work in progress

I have a question about using Tapatalk with bbPress. I have everything installed, set up, and functioning. However, there’s one thing missing in the interface with my forum and Tapatalk…most recent or unread topics/replies. The closest I can find right now is to view the Timeline, but that shows the most recently created topics – not the topics in order of the most recent replies. Even if a topic has been replied to today, it may be far, far down the list because it (the original topic) was created a month ago. Is this a problem in my setup or just something that is not a function for bbPress/Tapatalk integration?

Hello, I have just installed bbpress and the forums page is showing up like this:

Search for: Home › Forums Forum Topics Posts Freshness Beauty, Health & Fitness 0 0 No Topics Chat Communities ACT (0, 0) NSW (0, 0) NT (0, 0) QLD (0, 0) SA (0, 0) TAS (0, 0) VIC (0, 0) WA (0, 0) 0 0 No Topics DIY Projects DIY Decorations (0, 0) DIY Favors […]

The forums I have created are showing up in a nice boxed format which I expected but my forums page isn’t I have checked the settings and gone back through the installation instructions but for some reason it shows up as a whole lot of text not in a nice forum layout?

[Stephen Edgar]

I moved this to it’s own topic….

You have an advantage that you are already using v1.2, now you just install WordPress, install bbPress v2.x plugin and convert your old v1.2 forums to v2.x.

I’d suggest the best place for detailed instructions on what to do in this regard would be to check out this existing topic:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/upgrade-bbpress-1-0-2-to-2-1-2/page/2/#post-127780

[Will Brownsberger]

I posted in this thread 15 months ago that W3 did not work with bbpress.

Have to love the speed though and I thought I’d try again with latest versions:
WP 3.9
W3 0.9.4
bbPress 2.5.3

My first round of testing, prior to trying it on live site, willbrownsberger.com, was successful — I focused most heavily on whether bbpress replies would trigger refreshes. They do seem to. Occasionally, a very little bit of a lag, enough to make a fast-fingered tester wonder, but it seems to OK.

So we are using it live now and will report back if we have any real problems.

For the record, my settings are as follows:
bbpress — anonymous topics and replies allowed (and that is what I carefully tested)
w3 total cache as follows:

GENERAL

Page Cache Enabled
Minify, not enabled
Database Cache enabled
Object Cache not enabled
Browser Cache not enabled (have settings in .htaccess)
CDN not enabled
Reverse Proxy not enabled
Monitoring not enabled
File locking not enabled
Verify Rewrite Rules enabled.

PAGE CACHE SETTINGS (all not checked except the following)

Cache front page
Don’t cache pages for logged in users
Automatically prime the page cache (default interval 900 seconds, 10 pages)
Preload the post cache upon publish
Purge Policy — defaults (front page, post page, blog feed, rss2)
Default advanced options

DATABASE CACHE SETTINGS
Don’t cache pages for logged in users
Default advanced options

Hello … I’m using bbPress 1.2 … I am very pleased with this standalone version …
My question is how could I add WordPress to my bbPress 1.2 … So as to update to the latest version of bbPress … Alan

[Robin W]

New bbpress installation?
Old installation with new problem?

Have you other plugins?

Try

[Robin W]

As I think you have guessed as you posted a while ago on the Emphaino wordpress support site, this is a theme issue.

I can only suggest you try a basic bbpress page to see if this will display sufficiently well to fit in with your theme.

So create a file called bbpress.php and into this drop the following code

<?php
get_header(); ?>

		<div id="container">
			<div id="content" role="main">

			<?php
			/* Run the loop to output the page.
			 * If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
			 * called loop-page.php and that will be used instead.
			 */
			get_template_part( 'loop', 'page' );
			?>

			</div><!-- #content -->
		</div><!-- #container -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Then save this file in the root of your theme.

bbpress will then use this file instead of your theme’s page file for the display of bbpress pages.

Give it a go, and if it fixes the problem come back and let us know. If it doesn’t then you will need to do some styling, and that will take some research to fix !

[Robin W]

Without using code for 21K users, I can get it to 42 quick actions – or the same action 42 times !

NOW be careful – make sure you know who you want to be different – eg administrators, as if you bulk change and then log out without changing back, then you may lose admin access – and then you’ll need to use phpmyadmin using nasty sql stuff to correct this.

So start by making a list of users with admin, or other wordpress roles you’ll want to be different – write these names onto a post it note and stick this to your screen so you won’t forget !!!!


Then go into

Dashboard>users>all users

At the top right of the page you see ‘screen options’ click this and typically you’ll see a part that says

20 users apply

Change this to 999 users and click the apply box.

This will then display 999 users at a time, so you can bulk change 999 in one go.

Then next to the ‘username’ heading you’ll see a tick box which is the ‘select all’ option, click this and it will select all 999 of page 1 users

Above this you’ll see a ‘bulk actions’ and then the bits we want to the right of that – the ability to change the wordpress and forum roles.

So having ticked to select all the 999 users displayed on page 1, click the ‘change role to’ and select the subscriber role, and then the change box, and hey presto all 999 are now subscribers.

Tick the ‘select all’ again, and select the bbpress participant role, and change that.

so now all page 1 users are correctly set.

Now select page 2 on the right just below the bulk change forum role and repeat !

So for each page (21 or 22 of them) you do

Select page
click ‘the select all’ box,
click forum to ‘subscriber’ and click change
click ‘the select all’ box,
click role to ‘particpant’ and click change
select next page

THEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHANGE THE ADMINS BACK BEFORE LOGGING OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Probably taken me longer to type these instructions than for you to execute them !

Mod Note: I edited your post Robin 😉 Cheers, Stephen

[Robin W]

Hi, sorry you didn’t get answered the first time

bbpress roles are separate to wordpress roles, and confusingly don’t appear as part of the user creation.

So

go into

Dashboard>users>set up new user

set up your user for wordpress, and click confirm/save or whatever it says.

It will come back with a screen saying ‘user created – edit user’ click the edit part and go back into the user (you can also do this anytime by just editing the user through ‘all users’)

At the bottom of this screen you will now see forum role, and here you set their forum level.

Click save, and you user will now have the appropriate forum level access.

I know you’ll be screaming by now – I’m just a volunteer so don’t blame me that this is how it works !

If you go back up to the worpress roles, you also see in the wordpress role dropdown that you can set “no role for this site” – so you can have a user who has say participant role for the forums but no role for the wordpress bit. I use this in conjunction with the ‘restrict content’ plugin to have a membership site where club members have access through the wordpress subscriber role to members only pages (and access to the forums through the participant role), whilst letting non-members access and contribute to the forums by having no wordpress role, but just a bbpress participant role.

Come back if any of that isn’t clear !

Ok, I think maybe Tweaks was the problem. I had set up my own sidebar which wasn’t working properly (it was showing up on all my pages, not just the forum pages) and then I installed tweaks as well. After reinstalling bbpress without Tweaks I’ve got the sidebar I originally set up (now working, go figure) with proper breadcrumb trail and the topic list on the forum page. There is a lot of styling and tweaking to do but that should be straightforward.

cheers, Cheryl

Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?

So here is what I have done since. I created a fresh install of WP 3.9. Deactivated any default apps. Installed BuddyPress. Installed bbPress. Checked to see what roles were created. None. Still had the standard WP Roles.

Can someone please correct me if I am wrong? Isn’t bbPress supposed to create the following roles:
Keymaster
Moderator
Participant
Spectator
Blocked

There is a good chance that I am totally missing something here and this is an easy fix. Does anyone have any thoughts? Suggestions?

If I’m just being totally ignorant and new roles don’t get created. Please tell me that too. Thanks!

[siobhan61]

Thanks Stephen,

Yes, it is weird! The permalink remedy didn’t work but thanks for responding. I think what I’ll do is make note of any code changes I’ve made and then uninstall and reinstall both bbpress and tweaks. There may be some conflict in there that I can’t see — I started this project a few months ago and went away from it for awhile.

cheers, Cheryl

[mshafshak]

i have 21k users that have site roles “none” and empty forum roles thats maybe coz ijust shfted from a joomla website into wordpress & bbpress. I want to make the site role ‘subscriber’ and forum role ‘participant’ to all users how can this be done with writing a code ??

Hello there,

I use WordPress version 3.9, bbPress Forum 2.5.3, Theme Emphaino.

Forum works if you make an entry, but answering the entry the forum looks deformed, the actual entry is whole covered by the answer. I the answer is very long it is cut by the forum and you can only see a part of that.

The sense of my forum is answering the entries of my users. Already working hours to fix that but I just don´t get it.

Help me please!
