How can I place an image before the forum title? In this case (http://www.manupmyhealth.com/forums/forum/fuel-forum/) the title is “Fuel Forum” at the top. I found this url (http://www.kristarella.com/2013/04/bbpress-forum-icons/) that helps me place an image for each forum in the forum index page, but need the hook name to place the image in the forum page. Thanks.

hi,
im using bbpress on my website, but we have an issue with editing function.

In facts we are able to edit topics, but when we want to edit replies we obtained :

/* <div class=”extra-wrap”>
<h2 class=”entry-title”>
<div class=”entry-content”> Home › Forums › W3Community › TOUT SUR W3COMMUNITY › test › Répondre à: test 26 mars 2014 at 18 h 42 min #2892 Édit | Move | Diviser | trash | Spam | reply Xn2-testParticipant () Messages 2 blablabla </div>
<div class=”postmeta”>
</div> */

No editing windows only text and 2 links (read more and edit)

We dont understand why its doing that :/

I’m currently getting some weird redirect from one specific group’s home to the group’s forum. Ie. domain.com/groups/specificgroup/ redirects to domain.com/groups/specificgroup/forum

I have a total of 9 groups and it is only ONE (newest) group doing this. If I deactivate bbPress I am able to access the group’s home. If I create new groups with forums I get the redirect too.

bbPress 2.5.3
BuddyPress 1.9.2

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting, and I really dig BBPress so far.

I’m running WP v3.8.1 with BBPress 2.5.3. I’ve encountered a problem when converting a custom MYSQL database into BBPress. I have successfully exported a Lotus Notes / Domino DB (yes, it still exists…) into a simple MySQL DB containing just 3 tables.

After a “successful” conversion (of over 35K forums, topics and replies) into BBPress, I can see all of the Forums, Topics, and Replies listed in the BBPress Admin panel. However, there seems to be issues with the Foreign Keys being imported/linked, even though I have double and triple checked the forum_id, topic_id values for the Topics->Forums and Replies->Topics relationships within the Example.php converter included with BBPress. All data has been properly formatted into WordPress friendly values (dates, slugs, etc..) before importing into MySQL.

In the admin panel, under Forums, it lists all forums in their hierarchical order, as expected. It also lists the topic and reply counts, date, and creator next to each parent / child forum. However, under “Freshness” is says “No Topics”. The Topics Admin page is even more intriguing; it lists all of the Topic Titles, the Forum title which that topic is assigned to (!), reply count, author, creation date, and freshness. Browsing to the Replies Admin page lists all reply titles, author, and creation date, however under Forum it says “No Forum” and under Topic it says “No Topic”.

When you browse to the forums (mysite.local/forums/forum/the-forum), the forum title and child-forums are displayed, along with topic and reply counts for each child. However, under “Freshness”, it says “No Topics”. When I browse to a child forum, it lists the topic and reply counts, however it says “No Topics were found”.

When I browse to a topic (mysite.local/forums/topic/the-topic), I see the date, title, content, and reply count. However, there are no replies listed.

When I browse to a reply (by clicking “View” under the reply listed in the Admin Replies page), it directs me to http://mysite.dev/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply/#post-######, saying “Invalid Post Type”.

I figured this would be rather straightforward, since I am not importing Users or Tags. Eventually I would like all authors to be “Archived Author”, should I try to tackle this now or after a fully successful import?

I can supply screen shots, converter output (which really says nothing unexpected), or the full source code for the converter if needed. I’ve included my table structure and simplified converter code for reference.

I hope that someone with a bit more experience converting forums for BBPress will be able to shed some light on this, my forehead is really starting to hurt from banging my head against the wall. It seems there is very limited information out there on this converter. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

My tables to import/convert are laid out as follows:

forums table {
  forum_id  PRIMARY KEY INT(11)
  title
  slug
  parent_id (Self referencing FK)
  last_mod (DATETIME)
  num_topics
  num_replies
}
topics table {
  topic_id PRIMARY KEY INT(11)
  parent_id FK (set to 0 for no parent)
  forum_id FK (matches corresponding <code>forums</code>.forum_id)
  subject (title)
  slug (slug of title)
  body (the post content)
  from
  date
  date_gmt
  num_replies
}
replies table {
  reply_id PRIMARY KEY INT(11)
  topic_id FK INT(11) (matches corresponding <code>topics</code>.topic_id)
  forum_id FK INT (11) (matches corresponding <code>forums</code>.forum_id)
  date
  date_gmt
  subject
  body
}

And now, here’s the converter I’m using (starting at the Forum section Line#26 of /plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters/Example.php). I’ve removed commented lines for brevity.

sorry I wasn’t being clear.

but you answer does throw up a fix, you can take out the display of that out either by changing the “show forum prefix” in settings>forums, or changing what is displayed :

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

On you original Q :

1. Do you still have this problem if you try that change
2. are you getting the ‘cheating’ problem anywhere else

[Robin W]

Nice site – loved the home page !

Ok, yes you should get a login – I’m presuming you’re using the (bbpress) Login widget?

and what/how have you done your sidebar to make it forum specific?

[edit] and when you say they, which other ones aren’t showing?

[jesseaaron]

Sure thing. I recently installed bbpress and wanted to adjust the Single Forum Slugs to a different name so the URL isn’t /forums/forum/. When I tried to save I go the Cheatin Page.
I’ve also recently installed myCred and have been making tiny CSS adjustments to the bbpress classes (just colors and font size & weights).

@jesseaaron

Original poster got this as a result og “I just installed bbPress on my site. I wanted to change the setting from disallow editing after 5 minutes to 10 minutes but when I click save changes I get a “Cheatin’ uh?” Page”

Can you explain what you were doing, and if you did as per @lkicknosway
and logged out and back in again !

Hi All,

I have the weirdest error. I have a WordPress 3.8.1 installation with Akismet 2.6.0, bbPress 2.5.3 and a couple of other plugins.

It has been running fine for a year or so. We recently moved server, and did a “point” version update to latest versions.

Today I found a problem I’ve not seen before: if one posts a forum post whose titles start with the letters “Se”, you get a 404 error when viewing the post. The post itself shows up in the forum listing and is editable with correct text but won’t show up when you click on the link in the forum listing.

Post title variants like “Secretary”, “Secretary Test” “Sec” all generate the error. A post with title “Sacretary” does not, nor do any other posts test titles I’ve tried.

Has anyone got the faintest idea what could be going on here?

Cheers, Hywel Phillips

I am very excited to start using this for my organization. On my forum page I selected the login widget to show on the sidebar widget area along with a few other widgets. But they only show when Im already logged-in. I’m not sure what setting I’m missing, but I need people to be able to register when they first log-on. WordPress 3.8.1, bbPress 2.5.3, http://northwestleadership.org/forums/

[kvr28]

did some more testing on my staging site, deleted everything except for bbpress, deleted bbpress, reinstalled it, switched to twenty twelve theme and repaired and optimized all the database tables, ran the forum tools and still having this issue. I even stripped all the forum categories and re ran the tools to see if that stopped it, nope. So next I tried removing the forums slug, re ran the tools and tried it, nada, any suggestions from here?

Hi,

Refer to https://codex.bbpress.org/type/actions/. You can use the hooks and plave your social media sharing buttons wherever you want by including the code in your themes functions.php.

Thanks!

[Robin W]

Can only suggest you start with eliminating plugin and theme conflicts viz :

Check other plugins

Check that no other plugins are affecting this.

Turn off all other plugins apart from bbpress, and see if that fixes the problem. If the problem is resolved, add back one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.

Check themes

Whilst you on a “clean” child theme, the main theme may have issues.

If plugins are not the cause, then it may be a theme issue. Switch to a default theme, such as twentytwelve, and test.

[Robin W]

no official one, but plenty if you google

Also check out the documentation

Codex

including the layout and functionality examples

[sowmya]

Hi,

I added the link <?php comments_template( ”, true ); ?> to the bbpress.php file. Then activated comments and discussions from the forums page in bbpress. Still I am unable to see comment form in bbpress page. Can you please suggest.

Thanks!
Sowmya

Using the bbpress the search seems to show a result count however the list is always empty e.g.

the url is http://www.mysite.co.uk/forums/search/?bbp_search=test

this is with a clean child theme. Anyone any ideas?

[Robin W]

No, there isn’t one I can work out, just tried it and failed ! Would have been neat if it worked, but it didn’t.

so we’re back to square 1

Now if you use forums for interaction, and posts for information, then this becomes an easy solution

Admins create posts in categories, so you get a flow for instance
Exams
Classes
Math
Economics

These categories are then set in the menu structure, so they look cascade as you need them to.

So admins can create and edits these pseudo topics and you turn off comments to prevent replies. You can the use the content permissions from the forum setup bit below (it’s a plugin you’ll be adding) to limit access to registered users only (and indeed which – you can have a group to access say math and another to access say economics and a third group who can access both).

Then you use forums for admins and tutors

These can be separate forums ie some for admins which tutors don’t see, and some where both can interact – see http://www.rewweb.co.uk/creating-bbpress-groups/ for how to do this.

Sorry I can’t get a neater solution !

new to this, still reading…. read this http://codex.bbpress.org/using-bbpress-forums-with-buddypress-group-forums/
can someone advise/confirm what’s the advantage of using BuddyPress “Group Forums” over the “forums” slug in bbPress?

Also, I don’t quite follow this instruction…
5. After creating a new page (Eg: “Group Forums”), go into Settings/BuddyPress/Pages and choose this new page to act as the placeholder for BuddyPress Group Forums
I could see Settings/BuddyPress/Pages and it has 2 option Directories and Registration yeah? what do I do from here? Thanks.

[imjscn]

if not threaded, clicking the bbp-reply-to-link can get #new-post form focused.
But, when threaded, the onClick function seems not working. Instead of moving or creating the post form, it reload the page and add query vars.
I’m with bbpress2.5.3, and wordpress 3.8.1

[@mercime]

@batmanfan Yes. That article contains a link to https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-styling-crib/ which shows what selectors to use to change styling.

[batmanfan]

found it. here? https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-2/#summary-for-techies

[batmanfan]

I seem to have issue with front end site refresh/caching? every time I updated the forum, new forum/topic/reply or even installed new plugin etc. It doesn’t seem to refresh the front end site immediately. I have to manually refresh the page in order to see the updated changes. Is this an issue on my bbPress site? settings or hosting server? Thanks anyone.

[batmanfan]

Hi, new to the this bbPress. love it.
Is there a youtube tutorial on bbPress for beginner? Thanks.

[batmanfan]

I like this bbPress theme – http://bbpress.org/forums/ especially where user/member can’t access to the standard wordpress backend, but a nice and clean ‘front end’ only. How can I get a theme like this? or can I get any theme but use a special plugin to restrict members/users from access to the backend?
Thank you

[Liberty]

I’m sorry for my late reply.
Adding header.php and footer.php files hasn’t solved the problem. I made some changes of my theme and hoped that the problem would solve itself, but no. If you have another idea how I could solve my problem please write it down! I would be really glad if someone could help me out.

Thank you for the amazing support up to this point. It’s my first topic here because I had never a problem with bbPress before. If there is no more possibility to solve the problem I will create my theme from zero.
