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

[poorleno]

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 !

[batmanfan]

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.

[jesseaaron]

I’ve searched for captcha plugins/human verification plugins to cut out the flow of spam registrants on bbpress, but everything is either outdated or does not work on the register page. Does anyone have any suggestions/links/tips/etc.?

Thanks for your time!

[kvr28]

I did some more testing, disabled all plugins except bbpress, still getting the error, but when I made a thread in the announcement and suggestions sub under support, I got no error, when I made one under the compost bin, I did

Forums

any ideas?

[kdumas123]

Yes, I suppose that is exactly what I would like.

If it can’t be done, I suppose we could just have a separate password protected page for the tutors not connected to bbpress.

Just trying to figure out a solution.

[amandafrench]

I had this same problem on a site in my Multisite network (the only site with bbpress activated). I fixed it by checking the “Auto role: Automatically assign default role to new, registered users upon visiting the site” option in Settings –> Forums. The default role was set to “Participant.”

[echoleaf]

I just copied the bbpress theme files to my child theme and thought asking here would be a lot easier than wading through all the code.

I would like to hide replies from anonymous visitors, basically with an if/else statement. If logged in, show replies; if not logged in, hide replies and show a message that it’s for members only. The idea is that the topic would be readable by Google but the replies would be private.

Is there a single theme file I can edit for this or are there multiple files to edit? Trying to figure out which file is like looking for a needle in haystack! Thanks.

[Magic-Komplex]

Hello,
I have created two categories with several forums within, and I’m trying to set up a specific behavior. On the main index, I want all forums to be visible by everyone, even unregistered guests.
Some of these forums should only be visible for unregistered guest, but they shouldn’t be able to enter or even read or post within these specific forums. When they try to enter they should get a message like “You must be logged in to view this forum”.
Logged in members, on the other hand should be able to enter, read and post within these forums.
I have several problems in achieving this. First of all, I only found the possibility to set a forum as private, but that causes the forum only to be visible by logged in members.
So my next step was to have a look at user roles, which caused a lot of confusion. So I installed the plugin “bbp-capabilities”, in intention to be able to set up user roles. The problem is, it only provides the possibility to define the capabilities of a registered user, but not for guests. I’d need to know how I can define roles on a global level, instead of editing every single user and not being able to define what guests can do.
I hope this is clear enough to let you understand what my problem is, I’m German, so please be patient. If there’s something unclear, I’ll try my best to clarify it.
I also asked this question in the German support forum for bbpress, but I got no answer so far, so I’d be very thankful for help.
Thanks in advance,
Sylvia

[Stephen Edgar]

Robin, the issue here is if you look at his site you also see the text Door

Thus it is not just the image being loaded in ‘whatever’ template is loading bbPress it is also adding that text.

Ahhh.. It’s a Genesis theme…. Are you using the Genesis Extend bbPress plugin?

You need this https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/ 🙂

[Robin W]

Perry,

If you go back to Lynq’s answer

.bbpress .post-image { display:none; }

you post this in the style.css of the theme

wp-contents/themes/’yourtheme’/style.css

where ‘yourtheme’ is the name of the theme you are using

put it at the end, and make a note of it, as it may disappear on any theme update, so you would need to add it back.

[Robin W]

No bbPress doesn’t have it’s own theme, it uses your wordpress one.

It does have styling and can (but doesn’t have to) use a custom page, so you can make it look as much the same or as different as you like.
