Hi,
I just installed the latest version of bbpress and now I’m searching for German language files for this version. The latest version I could find was 2.0 or 2.1, but that one didn’t work, actually there’s nothing translated at all, except from some parts within the backend.
I just need a translation for the front end, cause most of my users don’t speak English, I’m fine with English within the backend.
Any help would be highly appreciated and sorry if this is the incorrect forum for this request.
Hi,
Title says it all really. I am trying to customise the recent topics widget; using it to display topics from a specific forum; and I would like the title to link to the forum from which the topics are from.
I have registered a sidebar for this in my functions.php file and I’ve tried the following code, but it doesnt work as its not adding the URL into the title:
register_sidebar(
array(
'id' => 'forumcontent',
'name' => __( 'Forum Home Content - Colleges', 'textdomain' ),
'description' => __( 'A short description of the sidebar.', 'textdomain' ),
'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget-topic-list %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
'before_title' => '' . apply_filters( 'bbp_get_forum_permalink', get_permalink( $forum_id ) ) . '<h3 class="widget-title">',
'after_title' => '</h3><a/> <br class="clear"/>'
)
);
I am trying to create something similar to this: http://postimg.org/image/55qwbgoe3/
I am currently editing the the bbpress/includes/common/widgets.php file directly which I know is a BIG NO NO! and I should create a custom widget for this, but I am not really sure how to!
I am currently using WordPress v3.6 and Bbpress v2.5.3
Thanks
I don’t CARE if bbPress is “made the WordPress way.”
bbPress is awesome, but the way it has been structured makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE.
You guys are missing CRITICAL forum features such as quoting, multi-quoting, signatures, and more, and NO plugins should not be filling this stuff in, the point is to integrate these necessary features into the software.
There is ONE plugin for quoting and it SUCKS, it literally sticks the post under a LINE, not in a nice blockquote separated like ANY other forum software would.
You guys have a bar that says “Forum”. What the HELL is that supposed to show the user??????????????? That’s where the category label would go, on any forums, there’s a reason all other forums do that. Do you see car manufacturers making 3 wheel cars because that’s “their way”? There’s a way to do things right. Making a stupid structure is not how you do things “your way.”
Everyone I have spoken to agrees with me. The forums on bbPress and WordPress sites for support are a freaking headache. You guys have everything just cluttered up to the right side, it’s such an eye sore even writing this post is giving me a headache.
Don’t tell me “it’s the WordPress way.” So sick of hearing that. People here have made it clear that the format for bbPress’ structure SUCKS. You guys cram every forum side to side inline, why?? WHY?
I am disagreeing with the “WordPress” way, and trying to figure out how to legitimately get this to be noted. I’ve posted it in bbPress Trac and it’s been just looked over.
Wow! On the front page of bbpress.org and everywhere we mention bbPress:
"bbPress is forum software, made the WordPress way."
bbPress is not like all other forums, it was not made to be like other forums, it was made the WordPress way allowing for customized functionality by plugins and/or themes.
So maybe you should post on http://jobs.wordpress.net/
since bbPress uses custom post types, it looks very likely that you have a conflict.
Have you tried the pods support site?
I’m using bbpress and also a plugin called Pods (for implementing custom post types)
The problem I’m having is that the “Forums” page in the admin shows only items of the “articles” custom post type, and not the actual forums. Is this type of conflict common? I haven’t altered the default post type of bbpress.
so when you are doing all this testing, has the w3 cache plugin been deactivated? and have you then cleared your browser?
As SE says working on say twentythirteen with just bbPress as a plugin works, so if this is not working for you, then you will need to look to your host provider for help.
WP 3.8.1 – SP 5.4.1 (but also isn’t working with 5.4, i just upgraded when trying to fix this) – BBP 2.5.3
I’m working on a duplicate copy of my wp db (I always do a test run before working on live site).
However I just noticed this error in my php logs:
“PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class bbcode in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/parser.php on line 979” while reading response header from upstream
So I think some other plugin (or maybe wp itself?) is declaring that class already. I’m going to debug this now.
I made the importer with SP v5.1.4 and every now and then upgrade to the latest just as I did earlier.
I’ve got nothing else that comes to mind at this minute, it’s quite late here so I’ll take a closer look in the morning.
A couple of things will help though, what versions of WordPress, bbPress and SimplePress are you using?
Hello Stephen,
I did as you suggested and it worked but again error.
First i deleted bbPress and reinstalled it and then it was working, i deleted some replies as they were spam but then it stopped working now again i deleted bbPress and reinstalled it many times, 3 times it worked and then stopped and now permanently stopped, i mean no effect of Deleting bbPress and reinstalling it now.
And one more thing i am able to add new replies there from dashboard and can access spam, Published and trash folder in replies but only two tabs are not accessible pending and all replies in replies main tab, should i try it installing through FTP, it might work as the reinstalling worked few times.
And it might be possible that the pending replies, there are 4 now can disturbing BBpress, 3 of them are spammy, some Chinese language is there. So i think if you can tell me how to delete that pending replies data from FTP without accessing WordPress dashboard as it showing error from there, i think it might work.
And i have also contacted my hosting provider, awaiting for their reply….
Delete bbPress and reinstall it, you won’t let lose your forum data.
If that doesn’t fix the issue you will have to contact your hosting provider as there will be something wrong with either the Apache or PHP configuration or you are simply running out of memory, you have quite a few plugins running.
There are NO known issues when WordPress’ only active plugin is bbPress.
there are two capabilities within bbpress roles
‘delete_topics’
‘delete_others_topics’
Looks like the plugin is changing the wrong one.
I presume it is the participant role that you like delete topic on ?
If so, please come back and confirm, and I’ll cut a quick filter for you after the weekend if you know how to add some code to your functions file.
if it worked before, then something has changed.
If you want to stop it using the template then create a ‘bbpress’ folder in the root of your theme, and copy
wp-content/pluigins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php across to this new folder.
The edit to remove the code that displays this – lines 47 to 55 have an if(keymaster) statement that display this info
Here are the answers…..
1. Yes bbPress is fully working, except that when i go to Dashboard>replies i get an internal server error mentioned above.
2. this is an old installation, few days back it was working fine from 10 days back i am getting this error in Dashboard>replies.
3. This error is always been there.
4. Nothing has changed on the site except i installed some plugins i needed.
5. I am running these wordpress pulgins are BackUpWordPress, bbPress Genesis Extend( beacuase bbpress has problems with genesis framework and it helps), bbPress Moderation, Broken Link Checker, Contact Form 7, ContestHopper for WordPress, Eggplant 301 Redirects, Genesis Simple Edits, Google Analytics for WordPress, Jetpack by WordPress.com, Nofollow for external link, SEO Friendly Images, W3 Total Cache, WordPress SEO, WordPress SEO News, WP-No-Tag-Base and Google Publisher Plugin.
6. Yes using W3 Total Cache as a caching software but i don’t think it is the issue.
7. Yes this problem is also there with ALL plugins except bbPress deactivated AND a default theme such as Twenty Thirteen installed i still get this error? and the default theme i used is Twenty Thirteen.
Thanks for your help…..
yes, but you do need to
a) show some patience – we are all volunteers here and have lives outside of bbPress
b) answer fully questions asked – these are not random or standard, they are specific to your problem. All are asked for a reason.
To help me to help you, I need information to get to a problem definition, and from there to a solution.
Please respond to each question below
1. I now understand your problem as follows :
bbPress is fully working, except that when you go into Dashboard>replies you get an internal server error.
Is this correct? If not precisely when/how do you get the error
2. Have you just installed bbpress, or is this an old installation?
3. Has this error always been there, or has it appeared?
4. What else has changed on the site
5. What other plugins are your running?
6. Are you running any caching software?
7. can you confirm that with ALL plugins except bbPress AND a default theme such as twentytwlelve installed you still get this error? and which default theme you used.
Thanks
My objective is to not use the standard forum root index page that is auto-created and instead use a WordPress page with forum shortcodes.
The auto-generated forum root page is here: http://thirdscribe.com/cafe
and I would much rather use this page here: http://thirdscribe.com/cafe-forums
I have not had any success in customizing my root from the settings panel where it says: “Customize your Forums root. Partner with a WordPress Page and use Shortcodes for more flexibility.”
Failing the ability to use the WP page with shortcodes, I would like for the sub-sub forums to be shown, as well as the text descriptions for everything, in the root index. This forum supports a book network, and to have the subgenres showing under the genres is pretty important. Again, I would prefer to just use the page generated using the shortcodes, but I’ll accept just getting the subgenres and descriptions to show.
This is my first time using bbPress — I like it and like the back end administration, but I REALLY need to be able to show more information on this forum page.
I am running WP 3.8.1, Buddypress 1.9.2, and bbPress 2.5.3
Any help or suggestions appreciated.
No is the quick answer.
bbPress is a plugin for WordPress, hence if you have multiple WordPress sites you will need to install the bbPress plugin on each WordPress site.
You shouldn’t have ‘E-mail’, ‘Forums’ or either instance of ‘Welcome to bbPress’ on the ‘Dashboard’ menu.
What plugins are you using?
I expect it to be a conflict with one of them and/or the menu plugin you are using is picking up things it should not be.
I was on Simple:Press v5.3.4 and have just now upgraded to v5.4.1
Tested the current bbPress v2.5.3 import using the SimplePress5 importer and everything worked fine.

This is the SQL query that runs the step you are stuck on:
SELECT post_id AS value_id, meta_value FROM sp_postmeta WHERE meta_key = '_bbp_forum_parent_id' AND meta_value > 0 LIMIT 0, 100
This shouldn’t really cause any issues, worst case scenario you no longer have your forums grouped in their previous hierarchal structure.
The only other thing I can think of is maybe a SimplePress plugin/extension may have modified the database setup beyond the basic ‘out of the box’ setup I use.
You could also try reordering your SimplePress forums to force an update of their values in the database. Also try removing the forums from the groups and delete the groups. You can easily add the groups/categories again on the bbPress side once the import is completed successfully.
Hello. I used the following CSS to remove IP addresses from bbPress. I know this only shows to admins, but I don’t want em there. For some reason, now they are magically showing up again…
/*Removes IP address from bbPress*/
.bbp-author-ip {
display:none !important;
}
Any ideas..?
Hi,
How can I remove the roles from appearing in both the drop down list as well as the users tab in wordpress?
I looked around in my database and file manager but I don’t see anything relating to bbpress remaining.
What should I look for?
Thanks!
Hello all!
Quick question – Can one bbPress forum work across multiple WordPress sites, not a multisite?
Graham
I am looking for a solution for something and I think BBPress could be it but I would need another BBPress forum elsewhere on my website entirely separate from the one I have now. Is this possible does anyone know?
Using WordPress 3.8.1, bbPress 2.5.3 with the Toothpaste 2.0.2 theme. DepreciationGuru.com Note – I have tried using TwentyTen, TwentyEleven, TwentyTwelve, TwentyThirteen & TwentyFourteen and still have the same results.
I set up the forum as per the Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 1. Would like for my Forum Topics to show indented under the Forum Title.
This is how it appears: http://www.depreciationguru.com/forums/
This is how I would like it to look: Sample From Step by Step Guide to setting up
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
