[Primus Palus]

I’m looking for a plugin and my search-fu under the plugins database through the website is weak apparently. I want the plug in to allow me or another usergroup the option to post a thread in the bbpress forum… which can then be posted to the articles of the main site. Or, I could do the reverse and allow in depth discussions on the forums instead of the comments section.

I’d really like to pick who can do this, and the exact places the post would go to (which category). Does something like this exist?

I confirm

insert

asdasdasd
and
asdasdasd

total forum visible and (plugin not found)

With wordpress 3.9 and bbPress 2.5.3-5249 on pc windows seven (wamp server)

[Tanya Quintieri]

For the record: It was the anti spam plugin for bbpress that did it. But it’s from a different developer.

[phpnukes]

Thanks Stephen,
Yes for me it was a plugin Ad King Pro that was in conflict with bbpress.
My bbpress is working perfectly.
I’ll run along to Ad King Pro to establish whats going on.
The AdKingPro plugin is quite extensive in functions bordering overload but still useful.

‘When post are made I would like Keymaster users to get an email.’

use a plugin such as bbPress notify

‘When Participants post I don’t want them to get an email.’

Do you want to actively stop them, or do you just mean don’t mail to all participants?

Hi all

I’m new to bbPress and trying to work out if has the functionality I need.

When post are made I would like Keymaster users to get an email.

When Participants post I don’t want them to get an email.

Is this functionality possible?

Regards

ttmt

Maybe not the most elegant, but this is quick and easy and should do it

In you theme, create a folder called ‘bbpress’ eg

wp-content/themes/your-theme-name/bbpress

then create a file called

content-single-user.php

into that put the following code

<?php

/**
 * Single User Content Part
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

?>

<div id="bbpress-forums">

	<?php echo 'Sorry access not permitted' ; ?>
</div>

then save this file to the bbpress folder you created above

If you want to completely hide the page, you could just put say your homepage url into the echo line and they would just be taken to the homepage.

Ok so you’re a wordpress site – so see

Codex

for step by set how to install

[Daniel King]

I don’t know if you still need it, but there is a plugin for that: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-last-post/

Discussion here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2031

[John James Jacoby]

Any of the themes from bbshowcase.org are for the retired version of bbPress (1.x), which is to say it won’t work inside of WordPress, or for bbPress 2.x.

[m-one]

BBPress v 2.5.3

[Robin W]

hmmm…

I’m not very sure quite what you are doing 🙂

Bbpress doesn’t really have themes (the old version 1 may have done)

Can you post a link to the theme you downloaded?

[Asynaptic]

@lowco2525

No, it hasn’t been fixed yet. In fact, I don’t think there is even a trac ticket!

But if you read page 1 of this thread you’ll find that it has been an issue with users for more than 7 years and brought up repeatedly.

There is (was?) even a plugin created to address the issue. The devs did not respond when I asked whether this plugin addressed the issue and if so, would it be incorporated into core.

It seems that development for bbPress has basically stalled on all fronts:
http://www.ohloh.net/p/bbpress/commits/summary

look at the graph of commits! files modified in past 30 days: 14/month (avg for past year: 35 files per month) so dev activity has fallen by more than 50%

lines modified on avg per month in past year? 21,876
lines modified on avg for previous month? 21 (no not a typo, just 21)

I think this is because most of the same team works on both buddypress and bbpress and they have been paying attention to buddypress – which is fantastic! don’t get me wrong 🙂 but this means that bbpress development has been on ice basically.

Personally I think this issue should be the highest priority because there is nothing more fundamental than permalinks. And there is nothing more wrong than the way permalinks are being done right now with bbpress.

And don’t forget, this issue has been an ongoing thorn in the side of users for 7+ years and there was an attempted solution in the form of a plugin.

[Pasquale Galasso]

Many thanks!
You have solved a major bbPress option, an option that was missing!

[lowco2525]

Has this been fixed yet? Because I cannot find the solution. This fix would improve a lot of aspects of Bbpress.

[sicky_brazz]

Hi, I’m a bit confuzzled on what I am meant to do next, please can someone guide me through it..
An idiots guide if possible please 😛

Here’s what I did and where I’m up to..

1) – I downloaded a bbpress theme via http://www.bbshowcase.org
2) – Created a folder called “my-templates”
2) — /public_html/wp-content/themes/itheme2-child/bbpress/my-templates
3) – Extracted files and placed the “static” (theme name) folder into /my-templates

And that’s it.. I have hit a brick wall…
Where do I go from here and have I done everything correct so far? (I’m guessing not lol)

[Robin W]

ok,

so given

No other plugins than bbpress
a theme of twentyten
and that you as user are set up with ‘participant’ or above authority

what exactly do you mean by ‘I cant add topic to forum’

Is this :

as a user in the front end?
as a participant or above in the back end?
what message are you getting, and when – eg “you cannot post topics…”

[Stephen Edgar]

There are no issues using bbPress 2.5.3 and WordPress 3.9 they are 100% compatible.

Any issues will be as @phpnukes points out theme issues or plugin conflicts.

I suspect your issue @buzzybee24 is indeed a theme issue, check your themes faq and/or support sites for information on using your theme with bbPress v2.x. If you can’t find anything most likely you will need to make a copy of your themes page.php file and rename it to bbpress.php in your theme folder.

@phpnukes Your issue will be a plugin conflict as to why some of the items are missing in the dashboard.

[phpnukes]

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.

[Pasquale Galasso]

a few non-active function of WampServer, probably.a few non-active function of WampServer, probably. But I can not know what is. I now send the online site, and let you know.

‘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

iRibbon

[Stephen Edgar]

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:
