I just installed WordPress the latest version on WordPress with plugins BuddyPress and bbpress.

I created a dummy user under the role “Participant” but when I login to it and go to the forums I see no “Create New Topic” button anywhere.

Also I already created a category forum.

I want my users to be able to make their own topics in my categories that I make.

ok, so I did a fresh install of wordpress and began to install each plugin one-by-one. Here’s an update on what’s happening:

– Buddypress released a new version Feb 5th (yesterday) with a new component or something.
– I get a blank page as soon as I activate Buddypress with bbpress (no other plugins or themes installed).
– WooCommerce works with bbpress until I install a specific theme but I will take that up with the theme.

I’m going to post this thread in BuddyPress forums to see if they are aware of what’s going on but any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi guys

I was wondering if we can have a link to the last post along with OP’s title for each forum in the home page, a bit like what we have in phpbb.

I searched a lot, but could not find a thing to get the last post of a forum, or a link to it. In another discussion someone suggested the use of get_topic_last_post_link, which when I tried, got undefined error.

Anyone has an idea ?
Thanks.

PS.
WP: 2.8.1
BBPress: 2.5.3

look at

bbPress Styling Crib

and see

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 2

for where to put the changes if you’re not certain.

Suspect you have a conflict somewhere. bbpress and buddypress will work, so it is something else.

Suggest you start by disabling all your plugins, and switching to a default theme. Add bbpress, buddypress and test that works (it should). Then add woocommerce, again it should work. Then switch to your normal theme, and test again. If that all works, then add back the other plugins one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.

[Robin W]

Suspect that not a lot of bbpress people will have done this, and probably none that view this forum.

Basically you just need your form to save the relevant bits to the database as a forum entry.

I’d start by looking at how an entry is stored in the database, and then get your form to do this for you.

Hi guys,

I am using an Artisteer 4 theme on a Buddypress/BBpress site, but seem to have a problem with the search.

Under the forums there is a search function, but when I put in a search phrase it returns a wordpress post rather than searching the forums.

Has anyone come across this and solved it?

Thanks

When subscribing to my forums, there are no email notifications for the subscribers.
I believe it worked initially. The plug ins I may have added since then (dont’ know, if I added them before it last worked or after) are “Members” to create new user roles, as well as “Tehnik BBPress Permissions” to make Forums only accessible to certain users.

I’m doing a fresh install of wordpress and have come to find that

– the current version of bbpress is not working with the current version(s) of buddypress
– I also found that WooCommerce isn’t working with the latest version of buddypress but I’ll post that on the buddypress site.

When I mean by not working, it’s causing my site to go blank.

If anyone has a solution, please advise and I will do likewise. Thank you.

Hi there,

Just installed bbpress on http://www.blogging4jobs.com/forum but I can’t see the topic I posted in our “Off-topic” category called “Introduce yourself!”

You are using bbPress 2.5.3-5249.
Wordpress 3.8.1

P.S. If you notice an Internal Server Error just refresh, we’re trying to troubleshoot why this issue keeps coming up. Thanks

Gautam worked like a dream, I can now operate bbpress exactly as I need, thank you 😉

Hi guys,

My knowledge of HTML and CSS is limited. I know enough to make the changes, but with so many options in bbpress.css, I get lost. I’m currently going through the bbpress.css file and not sure where to find the section to edit the border on the main forum page. Any help would be truly appreciated.

Also, where would I edit the font color of the topic names?

Thank you,
Storm

Hello, for security concerns on creation of my site I renamed my wp-content folder to something else. Now upon installation of BBpress I don’t see any of the options in the dashboard. It looks like in the plugin itself its coded to search for wp-content. Is there a way to override this so it can find it and function properly?

Thanks for help.

I followed the steps from http://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/guides/migrating-from-old-forums-to-bbpress-2/ to migrate from Buddypress to bbpress.
At step 6 (Repair bbPress 2 forum relationships) I can’t tick any box. Despite selecting one by one I the box remains blank…
Please help ?
WP 3.8 buddypress 1.9 and bbpress 2.5.3.

Hi,

I’ve installed bbPress, I’m using the latest version of bbPress and WordPress.

I’m not sure why but the root forum page and profile page is just showing plan text.

These two page show up with just flat text.
http://www.gaysofyoutube.com/forums/
http://www.gaysofyoutube.com/forums/users/admin

While these pages (forum and topic) actually show up with the tables and so.
http://www.gaysofyoutube.com/forums/forum/gays-of-youtube/
http://www.gaysofyoutube.com/forums/topic/hello/

Also how do I go about removing the blue status bar and the share and infobar at the bottom?

Hello,
I am new to bbpress and trying to set up a forum for my website. I have major difficukties with the right sidebar. With the help of older topics and posts I wasn’t able to get the bbpress-sidebar with bbpress tweaks going but with the plugin widget logic I finally had success (partially).
The problem I still have is, that the chosen widgets do show on the default forum index page, but do not show on any further bbpress pages (forum, topics, …)
Can you help?

The link to my (german) website is: http://brasilien2014fussballwm.de/forum/

Thanks!

Hi, I’m trying to add the widget.php into my Child Theme, so I can make an edit…However, any change I make to the widget.php within my child theme, does not work….Is there a specific location within the Child Theme that I need to place the file in?

Any help will be greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Actually that was naive of me, and I now have figured out the problem, but not the fix. Here is what actually happens:

I upload items to website also, but sometimes in future the same exact item may be in the update, I would then end up with domain-name/item domain-name/item2 domain-name/item3 These are duplicates, I simply delete all these by running this code:

DELETE bad_rows.*
from wp_posts as bad_rows
inner join (
select post_title, MIN(id) as min_id
from wp_posts
group by post_title
having count(*) > 1
) as good_rows on good_rows.post_title = bad_rows.post_title
and good_rows.min_id <> bad_rows.id;

This is what is deleting all the forum posts 100%, checked and tested it. The only thing is, I do need to run this. Is there a way to exclude in this code bbpress posts, or something?

Hello Community, I have bbpress install on my wordpress localhost site to test some functionalities. Currently i have contango theme installed. My problem is with the search result of the forum. Search the forum with topic titles i have created result in a different display. The search result display only the first blog content of a newly installed wordpress and nothing relating to forum search.

Why am I not getting the forum search results page? but rather gets the normal wordpress search results page?

I am not a programmer but fairly understand the technical details. Can any one help me.

Hello,

I’d like to create a forum where people are able to moderate their own topics (i.e the topics they created). I’m looking for 2 features (plugins ?) :
– let people delete messages in the topics they created
– let people ban another member from the topics they created (or make the topic invisible for a list of members)

Have you heard of anything like that with bbPress ?
Thanks a lot for answers.

You need to edit the file called tabbed-login.php found in the Tabbed Login Widget plugin not the Bbpress plugin.

Hello!

I’m trying to activate bbPress on my website, but it’s not activating. I already installed bbPress without any problem, but when I click ‘Activate’ in plugins, It’s showing a white screen with only the url. How to solute this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

I’ve recently upgraded to the latest version of bbPress and WordPress and the main links within the admin (Forums, Topics, Replies) have disappeared.

The forum itself is working properly, I can get to the edit screen for each existing post by going to the public side of the site and clicking “edit page”.

I tried refreshing permalinks & going into the bbPress settings and re-saving them.

I had a similar problem on another site with different custom post types, the fix was to set
‘public’ => true when registering the post type.

Could this be the problem here?

Any help would be appreciated.
