Hi,

I have recently installed bbpress. I have created a single forum called ‘Talk’.

When users register, I have set their status to automatically reflect them as ‘participants’. According to bbPress, Participants should be able to, reply to as well as create new topics.

However when registering and logging in on my bbPress page, newly registered users/participants are not able to create new topics; they can only reply to already existing ones which I have created as admin.

Can anyone point out why this may be the case?

Thanks!

It’s GD bbPress Tools plugin, and yes it’s the WP 3.9 update issue. GD will update their plugin today.

[batmanfan]

Has anyone used this plugin and successfully set up? I tried with no success 🙁 Is it compatible with bbpress forum? Thanks

[janfeng]

I want wordpress = post_name
and bbpress = post_id

bbPress does not include support for attachments ‘out of the box’

If you are using an attachment plugin for bbPress contact the author of that plugin.

You can select from various default avatars included with WordPress in the WordPress Dashboard -. Settings -> Discussion (/wp-admin/options-discussion.php)

Or look at adding one of the many avatar plugins:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=avatar and/or https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=avatar+bbpress

I don’t mind editing core files if that is what needs to be done.

This should never be done, when WordPress or bbPress has an update you will lose the changes you made.

Hello. I would like to know if there is a plugin or work-around to have a folder or drop-down list of folders to choose from a listing of pre-uploaded avatars, similar to other forum softwares.

I do not want users to use gravatar, twitter or upload their own avatars. I just want a listing from the folder on my website. However, I am having trouble finding a plugin or tutorial on how to do this.

I apologize if what I am asking for is something simple to do, because I am completely new to wordpress and bbpress (I came over from phpbb). I don’t mind editing core files if that is what needs to be done. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I created a fix for this a few weeks ago, details are here.

[jbdizzle]

I even completely removed bbpress and re installed…. this is frustrating…

[tharsheblows]

Oh good! Glad it’s all going well now.

Ha – I just got a “slow down; you move too fast” posting error. Trust me bbpress.org website, I’m human.

I just moved @conundrum89 reply to it’s own topic:

Plugin: bbPress Go To First Unread Post

== Description ==

bbPress Go To First Unread Post is a literally named plugin that allows registered users to jump to the first Reply in a Topic that they haven’t viewed yet. This gives your bbPress forum the simple and expected functionality of non-WordPress counterparts like phpBB, without a lot of coding.

First, you activate the plugin on a blog that already has the bbPress plugin enabled. This is all you need to do to activate the basic functionality of the plugin, which includes:

* Automatic tracking of last reply viewed, per topic per user.
* Link next to the title of a topic if the user has unread posts (between the title and pagination)

The plugin also includes two template tags for extra functionality:

* Mark Topics as Read link
* Mark Forum as Read link

I am having a strange issue. Newly created forum posts can not be ready because the path to that post is incorrect / not complete.
My main forum address is /support/forums/
Within that, there are a number of forums that point to: /forums/forum/forumname (for some reason, the /support/ is dropped).

When you go into a forum, you can see the posts list. The first post is called “Welcome”. When you click on the post to see content, BBPress takes you to the following URL:
/support/forums/topic/welcome/

The forum name is left off the URL, so the page is not found. Has this happened to anyone? Any idea how to fix it?

[Hardeep Asrani]

@tharsheblows That’s not only. I have also submitted a ticket to add this in core & fortunately, it will be the part of the next bbPress release: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2519

‘I am using bbpress forum for Members Only’

do you mean

Add bbPress Members Only Forums to Your WordPress Membership Site

or another plugin?

[chetan0412]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you sooo much .. you saved my life….

after declaring full path of both files in bbpress-functions.php,

and adding script to theme function.php its work like magic….

also 404 errors gone…..

but this gives 403 to my shop page…

again thanks for prompt response……..

[tharsheblows]

Yeah, it might have been a dns propagation issue, I didn’t think of that. It didn’t work, then you disabled bbpress and then it worked a couple of hours later (I did check a few times) then wasn’t working the next morning.

Do you have bbpress-functions.php in your WP theme folder? You could try editing that to give the correct path.

OR what you could do is just ignore the 404 and add them in separately. So workaround rather than fix. I’m guessing all your css and js files in your template directory are not getting included. But they’re there – I can see them.

This isn’t pretty and will stop working if you change themes or hosts, it’s like fixing trousers with duct tape, but it might work – you can and should keep trying to fix things in the meantime.

It goes into functions.php but don’t add using the admin area editor as if something goes wrong and you don’t have another way of editing files, you’re in deep trouble. I say that because I’m not really convinced it’s completely right, there’s no conditional logic for the js files so you need to be prepared to fix it if needs be (or ask, that’s fine, too!).

add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'mjj_readd_scripts');
function mjj_readd_scripts(){
	
	wp_register_style( 'ifuture-styles', '/ifuture/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css' );
	wp_register_script( 'ifuture-editor', '/ifuture/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/editor.js' );
	wp_register_script( 'ifuture-reply', '/ifuture/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/reply.js' );
	wp_register_script( 'ifuture-topic', '/ifuture/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/topic.js' );
	wp_register_script( 'ifuture-user', '/ifuture/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/user.js' );	

	wp_enqueue_script( 'ifuture-editor' );
	wp_enqueue_script( 'ifuture-reply' );
	wp_enqueue_script( 'ifuture-topic' );
	wp_enqueue_script( 'ifuture-user' );
	
	
	wp_enqueue_style( 'ifuture-styles' );
	
}

@palmdoc

Wordpress version 3.9

I am having an issue where only the Keymaster can see topic questions submitted by participants. The participant can’t see the questions they submitted, only responses. How do I fix this? Do I have to have BuddyPress installed to use bbpress?

I am using bbpress forum for Members Only.So unless you long in you can’t access the page where the forum is.

Thank you in advance for your help with this.

@hardeepasrani just did this, yay! Here is his post on how to add it in:

Hi I’m really keen on this layout rather than the default Forum index layout in bbPress.

I have created the loop-forums.php with the code and placed it in the bbpress folder of my child theme (I am using Buddyboss)

However having done that, my Forum index page still remains unchanged
The page just has
[bbp-forum-index]

Advice much appreciated

[keytastic]

No dice. Or I’m doing something wrong.

I decided on a much lighter color scheme for the website, and now it looks OK. If I could change one thing now, it would be for active links to behave the same way. For some reason certain links show an underline when you hover over them, and others turn white when you hover over them. It’s not a big deal if I can’t fix this, but it is kind of annoying.

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header,
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-footer {

	margin-bottom: 10px;
	border: 1px solid #666;
	padding: 12px;
	background-color: #89a2f4;

I am now implementing this for the next version of bbPress to support importing anonymous/guest users, thus far I only have it working for phpBB and am now working on adding it to the other importers.

[obasimvilla]

I tried importing with simple;press it imported my smf forum correctly, importing guest posters as guest and all users aright.

Then I tried importing from simple;press to bbpress only to have those guest posters converted to my admin account (keymaster) again.

Is there no way to walk around this?
