‘I have probably checked 100 times if this is ticked’
Thanks, but always worth asking.
‘This is the default bbPress theme. ‘
No I meant the wordpress theme you are using. switch to one such as twenty eleven to see if that makes a difference
This is the default bbPress theme. I just used CSS to change the style of the forum. I commented the CSS part for the bbPress forum out but nothing happened.
Dashboard>settings>forums> forum features have you ticked “Post formatting” to enable this toolbar?
I have probably checked 100 times if this is ticked. 😀
Hello Robin,
I’m missing this toolbar:
it’s not available on my site:
I have the newest versions of WordPress and bbPress and have done this steps to fix this problem but nothing happened:
I have deleted every JavaScript and tested it. Nothing!
I deleted the code of the function.php. Nothing!
I deactivated every plug-in. Nothing!
…and the CSS can’t be the fault because the toolbar is not disabled. It’s not there.
I opened my forum for guests and created a test forum. Now you can take a look on it: http://plusthemes.de/forum/test
Thank you so much for your answer. I try to give as much information as possible. 🙂
That function calls wp_get_current_user() so it might be related to the $current_user global. WordPress’s get_currentuserinfo() function calls wp_set_current_user() which overrides the global with fresh data.
It’s plausible some other plugin is loading the current user too early, or that it’s trying to initialize WordPress more than once via a subsequent call to $wp->init().
It’s unlikely that bbPress is directly causing this, as bbPress doesn’t do any of the above things on its own. It does however reference currently logged in user data quite liberally using WordPress’s built in API functions, so it’s not entirely impossible.
Keep us posted, and we’ll try to help out where we can.
Yes, my site is on Godaddy. I called them and apparently one of the other pluggins I had installed wasn’t getting along with bbPress. Unfortunately I don’t know which one… Now the forum is working… except… when I search for something if turns a completely blank page. The same happens when I click on the author. Any ideas what might cause this?
You are right. Having the same requirement, I was facing the same issue (and you will discover very soon that it is not the only one !).
As far as I understand, the integration between bbPress and BuddyPress is not fully completed. In bbPress, the user capabilities based on their role in the forums are only mapped to WP capabilities. (see for example the function bbp_current_user_can_publish_replies() or bbp_current_user_can_access_create_reply_form() (invoqued in the form-reply.php part of the bbPress theme) in bbpress/includes/users/template.php .
My way to overcome this issue is to add my own filter on the ‘bbp_current_user_can_publish_replies’ filter and to check in this function if the current_user is a member of the group associated with the root_forum (the one associated with the group) of the topic currently displayed.
below my function:
function my_bbp_current_user_can_publish_replies($input)
{
$topic_id = bbp_topic_id();
$root_forum = alsb_get_post_root_forum($topic_id);
$groups_id = bbp_get_forum_group_ids($root_forum);
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
if (groups_is_user_admin( $user_id, $groups_id[0])
|| groups_is_user_mod ($user_id, $groups_id[0])
|| groups_is_user_member ($user_id, $groups_id[0]) )
return true;
else return false;
}
whith the help function
function alsb_get_post_root_forum($post_id)
{
$post = get_post($post_id);
do
{
$post = get_post($post->post_parent);
}while ($post->post_parent != 0);
return $post->ID;
}
another way is perhaps to setup a filter on the ‘user_has_cap’ WP filter, but I did not test it.
good luck for your integration !
Ok, so this theme has an upmarket homepage.
Since this is a paid theme, with paid support, I’d suggest you go to their website for help, they should be familiar with bbPress and know how to get it to work with your theme.

Hi,
I’m using WP 3.8.1, BbPress 2.5.3 and BuddyPress 1.9.1.
In this integration between bbPress and BuddyPress, in the function bbp_format_buddypress_notifications() located in the file bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/notifications.php, it seems that this function break the filter chain for the filter ‘bp_notifications_get_notifications_for_user’, by returning no value if the action is not catched (not being ‘bbp_new_reply’).
It would be great to add at the end of the function : else return $action;
This will prevent the apply_filters_ref_array function in wp-includes/plugin.php to unset the first variable (the $action parameter).
Hey Folks,
we got a forum on our site http://www.jims-bergwerk.de
For admins the forum is accessable but when a normal user ( subscriber ) wants to access the forum, they are redirected with the following error:
That page can’t be found.
It looks like nothing was found at this location. Maybe try one of the links below or a search?
Is this a setup-problem or a problem with bbpress and the installed plugins?
Ok, I think you’ve done everything right, so suspect it is the theme and bbpress not working together correctly. The solution will probably be very easy, but as I don’t have access to that theme I cannot really help further.
Given that you have a paid theme and are on wp-engine I’d use both these routes to get detailed support.
Firstly I’d go to the theme support site
http://themeforest.net/item/brooklyn-creative-one-page-multipurpose-theme/6221179/support
and if that fails then if needed to wp-engine, who have both experts and access to your site
Hi guys,
I’ve added a page ‘/forum’ with the bbpress shortcode. When i visit this page with ‘Forum’, I get this:
This is what i’ve created (with the login widget)
However, when I visit the page by clicking the ‘forum’ text in the breadcrumb, shit I got this page without the login widget:
This is my forum setup:
How do I make sure that the breadcrumb ‘forum’ goes to the page with the login widget?
Thank you!
Jason
This is the way this feature is currently designed. Hierarchical pagination is quite challenging to tackle; WordPress provides some help with this, but it wasn’t built into our first pass, and no work has gone into improving it since.
I have never seen any response from the devs/leaders of the bbpress team themselves, seems only volunteers
I have a few thousand replies that hopefully help prove otherwise, and sorry that your experience so far hasn’t lived up to that. Know that there’s a staff of about 12 of us that volunteer our time to both develop the software, write the documentation, and moderate the forums, and though we don’t hit every topic, we try to help out where we can.
The bbp_kses_allowed_tags() function ensures that cite attribute of the blockquote tag is allowed, but not the actual cite tag itself.
Users with the Keymaster role are allowed to bypass these rules, and can post literally anything they want, completely unrestricted.
Two solutions:
- The “quote” plugin you’re using needs an update to not use
cite tags
- bbPress needs to allow
cite tags
Here’s a minor issue I am hoping someone can help me with:
When my forum “Participants” reply to someone in a discussion, you can see the <cite> tags in the quote box. This does not happen when I create a post as the “Keymaster.”
tag issue” />
Is this a bbPress issue or a problem with my theme?
Yes I understand, I would prefer to use threaded replies with pagination too but just now we can’t… 500 replies on a single page is not possible…
but I continue to think it was done in purpose looking at the bbpress codex:
https://codex.bbpress.org/forum-settings/
Reply Threading
This will allow your users to reply to specific replies, providing context to the discussion in a ‘threaded’ view. This will also remove topic pagination so the topic and all replies will only be a single page.
Let’s just hope someone will see our post and help us… :/
Wondering what others do about printing threads. I’m fine just reading the screen, but others might want hardcopy. Is there a way to print the thread easily? I’ve looked at the Print Friendly Plugin, but it’s not integrated with forum software like bbPress so I’ve been told. I could recommend a Print Preview of the forum thread, but thought there would be something akin to the plugin I mentioned which works great on pages.
Thanks in advance for your help.
I see:-
(i) on the main screen the bbPress button, with a list of forum options;
(ii) the sane at the top of the Dashboard;
(iii) Forums, Topics and Replies on the Dashboard sidebar.
I’d love to review what you have, and help get it into bbPress core properly.
Can you attach your progress to this trac ticket: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/459
It’s a feature we’ve talked about in some fashion for the past… oh… 7 years or so. 🙂
Thanks to all bbPress team members for creating a fantastic system. It’s a great tool.
The one thing that I needed for a recent project was a way of controlling user and group access to specific forums. Not finding a solution that was simple to deploy in these plugins or forums, I wrote one.
What I would love is to hand it off to someone who is willing to review it, polish it, publish it, and support it.
The methodology is pretty simple. When adding/editing forums, it allows you to choose one or more users who have access, and it controls whether they see it or not by piggybacking on the “post__not_in” and “post_parent__not_in” settings in WP Query.
If you have the very awesome User Groups plugin by Katz Web Services installed, then as a bonus it will detect that and also show an option to choose one or more groups to grant access to.
To-do includes:
– Verify the methodology
– Add filters + actions
– I18N
Post a reply and I can email it to you.
Unbelievable, plugin “Crayon Syntax Highlighter Settings ” activated Tinymce in Bbpress with its option “Display the Tag Editor in any TinyMCE instances on the frontend (e.g. bbPress)”.
Problem is i dont want to use this plugin and use functions.php to decide what buttons are visible.
do you have an actual forum page
viz
https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/ section 3, and which way is I set up?
“Dashboard>Users> edit user and select your username
Youll see at the bottom of the edit screen your bbpress role”
There is nothing about bbPress in my profile. But there is a box at the top for assigning forum roles to people, and I have used this to make myself Keymaster. The result is… exactly the same error message!
Is this not still the same issue as
bbp-topic-index pagination URL fail if used on homepage
In which case come back with the answers to my Q’s and I’ll try and help further
Your theme is possibly key to this.
Are you doing this through
Dashboard>forums>new forum?
and what role have you given yourself
Dashboard>Users> edit user and select your username
You’ll see at the bottom of the edit screen your bbpress role
come back if I can help further
Alexandru, with respect, what you’ve commented is a straw-man at best and a non-sequitur at worst.
I am involved in the project within my own limitations and do contribute whenever I can with what skills I have.
It is silly to claim that for the project to work faster we need more people to “just be involved” as this neither addresses my point, nor does it reflect reality. The bbPress development team has a formal structure with several people working on the project.
My question was to point out that while they have been active in the past, things seem to have stalled.
