Sure but try to rewrite it in your own words. Dublicate Content is deadly for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and senseless for the internet as a public database of information.

To complement your knowledge:

4 or 5 years ago there was a working plugin for the standalone-version. But bbPress now is on the one hand a Plugin for WordPress and on the other hand it has gone through some serious changes (Updates/Improvements).

I’m not sure if there’s still a standalone version managed and maintained by the developers. But in the past there were working methods to customize the URL structure individually (Mostly “core-hacking”).

I think there are WordPress plugins who hook into the WP outgoing e-mail function and wrap them into a HTML e-mail or give you the option to edit the content.

Try searching for them. bbPress doesn’t have special e-mail templates, they just use the WP mail function.

I have recently lost access to most of bbPress.
There is no backend access at all, even the link to settings in the plugin list is not present
and nothing at all down the LHS however the forum listing does appear on the front end if no user is logged in.
Also some shortcode widget items appear on the front page in the footer.
When anyone logs even the keymaster the forum is less visible.
I had to recreate the keymaster which dissapeared and became a moderator.
The keymaster was no longer listed as an option to reselect so I had to
change the role thus in this line with phpmyadmin

a:3:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;s:20:”add_ultimate_auction”;b:1;s:13:”bbp_keymaster”;b:1;}

I am not sure whether this occurred exactly as 2.5.3 was installed but it became evident soon after.

Hi team

I have a new install of BBPress (within BuddyPress) on my site.

I imported my old forums (which have been un-used for around 18months) from vBulletin. No issues with the import.

However my members (we haven’t launched yet, and they are not registered as active in BuddyPress) are getting email notifications on topics that are in the system.

Any ideas?

I’ve turned off notifications in BuddyPress just in case that is it, but would love if someone could tell me what might be causing it, and how I can turn it off for historic posts.

Thanks!
Martin

My apologies, I think this is a server issue. I did switch themes and when I deactivated bbpress it was running smoothly but it seems to be ok now.

[brightbell]

When I installed BBpress I was able to add a topic and a form and the Forums entry was visible to the administrator account.
Now if I log in as administrator or any account the forums are not visible or available.
You can see a basic list but as soon as you click on anything page not found 404 comes up
The shortcodes do produce an output from the forum if put in a new page or in the footer but
the url
http://racingpigeon.com/forums/ is blocked whereas the same shortcode in
a new page added at http://racingpigeon.com/forumsx/ produces output

If I log out then I see the output at

http://racingpigeon.com/forums/
I have tried all different levels of forum access but none lets me see it.

Hi Stephen,

I’m trying to import an old Kunena forum (Version 1.5.12) in a new BBPress (BuddyPress) forum.
I change manually the tablename in Kunena1.php, everything is normally ok, but seems something is not good because when I click on start, the script write there is nothing to import.

Repair any missing information: Continue

Instead of creating a new topic I’d like my question to be answered in here.

I downloaded and installed the bbPress-Plugin for WordPress and set it up for my website. Here’s the link to my forum.

I changed the permalinks /forums/forum/ to /forum/kategorie/ (engl. category)

Does anyone by this time know a guide (for non-coders) or plugin to customize the permalink structure in bbPress?

I’d like to change the structure from: (Origin)

forums -> forum(folder)/topic(folder) -> forum/topic

To: (Personalized / SEO Optimized(imho))

forums -> forum -> topic

I did some research beforehanded:

• no support by developers cause it’s made the wordpress way
• no negative effect for SEO of the original url structure

I.e.: website.com/forum/tech/technical-question…
instead of website.com/forum/topic/technical-question…

It has no negative effect but it would grant two more positive ones.
(1) More freedom for the user in terms of customizability and (2) the new customizability grants free space for keywords in the URL which are not only nice to read for search engines

What about the htaccess rewrite ideas, I didn’t get any of these working and many say it’s not recommendable.

Hi guys,

I found your thread and was wondering if anyone out there was having a problem with buddypress registration issues.

Problem:
bbPress (2.5.3) seems to completely ignore what the user had originally set as their password on my registration page from the very beginning of registration.

More detailed explanation:
On the registration page, the user chooses their own password, and then once I approve the user, the user is then sent an automated registration message which then assigns the user a new random password. The user then has to log in using this random password and reset the password.

Have you encountered this? Any solutions?

thank you,
Matt

———[FORUM]

WordPress 3.8.1 running Suffusion theme.
bbPress Version 2.5.3

bbPress 2.1 now available!

On a registered participant login, I keep getting “The forum ‘Private: Small Stars’ is closed to new topics and replies.”
or “This forum is marked as closed to new topics, however your posting capabilities still allow you to do so.” if I’m on admin privileges.

The forums are definitely open.

Repair forums gives me (As Admin and Keymaster) “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

I have searched for this topic, but the phrases around “This forum is marked as closed to new topics” bring up almost every webpage that uses bbPress, as it’s the default text at the bottom of so many topics!

What could be wrong here?

Thanks in advance for any help.

David.

Hi guys, the UL LI elements of my forums are following the styling declared for UL LI in my style.css file instead of the bbpress.css file. How do I correct this? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, can you create a ticket on Trac for us and we can take a closer look at the issue and your fix.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org

[Hiro22]

wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\topics\template.php

There was the same code also as the following php file.
wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\replies\template.php
wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\search\template.php

[Hiro22]

I am using WordPress-bbpress at the my site.
When many messages were contributed to a topic and it became 10 pages or more, the link to 10th page had broken.

The following code is the cause.
It will replace from “&paged=10” to “0”.

bbpress.2.5.3
C:\xampp\htdocs\bb\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\topics\template.php
895 line

// Remove first page from pagination
if ( $wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() ) {
	$pagination_links = str_replace( $wp_rewrite->pagination_base . '/1/', '', $pagination_links );
} else {
	$pagination_links = str_replace( '&paged=1', '', $pagination_links );
}

One solution for correcting this is the following. (Insert “if($pagination[‘total’] == 1)”)

// Remove first page from pagination
if ( $wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() ) {
	$pagination_links = str_replace( $wp_rewrite->pagination_base . '/1/', '', $pagination_links );
} else if($pagination['total'] == 1) {
	$pagination_links = str_replace( '&paged=1', '', $pagination_links );
}

The documentation was wrong. Moderators cannot create/modify forums.
I’ve updated the documentation to match what each role can do.

Actually they can, the documentation was correct 😉

				// Forum caps
				'publish_forums'        => true,
				'edit_forums'           => true,
				'read_private_forums'   => true,
				'read_hidden_forums'    => true,

I have added those changes back to the codex.

The caveat to this is that they can only create and edit forums in the ‘front end’ and not via the admin dashboard. (Details of this are noted in Trac as part of the wider scope Moderator control panels)

To allow moderators to create forums you need to use the [bbp-forum-form] shortcode on a page.

I’m looking to integrate BBPress with my BuddyPress theme and the guys over at BP support suggested I come here.

Someone mentioned I need to copy some BBPress files and folders into my BuddyPress theme but I’m not sure which ones to copy.

A beginners guide would be nice…?

This post sorta serves as my lousy introduction also. Hi to the community!

Hi

i have WP 3.8.1 and bbpres 2.5.3 , i’m using phpBB3 but now i will work with wordpress an there own forum (bbpress)
i used in tools -> forums -> import forums
typed the database datas in and klick START

after that the import start but it import ONLY the user nothing else.
i have tryed this 3 times and it runs alway over one hour and only user are imported
no forums no topics no cats ……

NEED HELP PLEASE

[Shmoo]

Just curious as I’m not a PHP-er and learning each day.

What I’m trying to make is a front-end tab-system that shows three tabs
Tab [1] = Topics
Tab [2] = Replies
Tab [3] = Refresh, just a reload of the page

Topics,
This should be a very easy query-/loop in general, it’s just a list of all new topics that have been added to my forum. There’s only one little thing, it should order at the date of creation so that when an older topic gets a reply it doesn’t bounce to the top of the list.

Replies,
This should be a query for latests updated topics of any age, if a topic of 5 years old receives an update or bounce it should jump to the top of this list. + newly or older created topics without replies shouldn’t get listed inside this second ‘Replies’ tab.

I came up with this idea:

<?php if ( bbp_has_topics( array( 'show_stickies' => false, 'order' => 'DESC', 'posts_per_page' => 120, 'max_num_pages' => 1 ) ) ): ?>
<?php while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic(); ?>
	<?php if ( bbp_get_topic_reply_count() ) {
	 bbp_get_template_part( 'last-topic-activity/last-replies-loop' );
	} ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

posts_per_page => 120 is a little bold but it’s just for testing right now.
Just curious if this is okay to work with, I found the bbp_get_topic_reply_count() function and it has a True or False statement so I thought lets just check if the topics have a reply_count … if it’s true than list a bunch of stuff through the custom-loop template I made.

Hope somebody can verify if this is okay, it looks like it’s working.

I’m using WordPress version 3.8.1 (the latest as of this writing) and bbPress version 2.5.3 The url wouldn’t show the problem since the forum is private and you would only see “Oh bother! No forums were found here!” on the page as a non-logged in non-member of the site. This question also relates to the WordPress dashboard rather than the site itself. I’ve given a user on the site the bbPress role of Moderator with the expectation that he should be able to set up new forums, however, when he logs in, he can only see/access topics, replies and profile in the WordPress dashboard. There is no link to “Forums” where he can add new ones. Why is this the case when according to the roles information on this page: http://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/ a Moderator “can create and edit forums. Can create, edit and delete other users’ topics and replies. Can manage Tags, and moderate a forum with the moderation tools”?

[sarau]

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I’m using WordPress version 3.8.1 (the latest as of this writing) and bbPress version 2.5.3 The url wouldn’t show the problem since the forum is private and you would only see “No Results Found” on the page as a non-logged in non-member of the site.

This is another usability issue I’d love to solve if anyone has a solution. If you are a member of the site but not logged in, you should see a prompt to login rather than “No Results Found”
