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.

Hello,

Login and password are correct. But after click start, bbPress notify me that, there is no to migration. What should I do?

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.

Here’s the site: http://www.uptmcaa.com/forums

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

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!

[LordAnubis]

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”

[avgmatt]

Thanks. I was hoping it was that easy. Is there a list of bbpress shortcodes somewhere?

[sarau]

Hello,
I’ve set up bbPress on a clients’ website. They have a private forum and unfortunately the word “Private” gets appended to the forum title twice. The actual title that I created is “Parish News and Discussion” but on the page it reads “Private: Private: Parish News and Discussion” Is there a reasonable way to fix this? I am not a php developer so please keep that in mind when responding. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

Hi

I would like to change the edit profile link in the admin bar to link to the edit profile link in bbpress.

I this possible?

Thanks
Websiteguy

[John James Jacoby]

The easiest way to do this is to make a WordPress page with the same slug as your forum root. bbPress will see that page and yield to it, letting it render instead of your forums.

In that page’s content, use the bbp-forum-index shortcode, along with any other HTML, shortcodes, or whatever else you want there. You can get really fancy with your forum index using modifications in a child theme, custom template parts, page templates, forum archives, etc…

[John James Jacoby]

bbPress comes with widgets and a shortcodes to help with rerouting logins and sign-ups (which are what we use here on bbpress.org), but you’ll likely want to look into other third party plugins for actually taking over and controlling the stock experience.

• bbp-login
• bbp-register
• bbl-lost-pass

[cms168]

Same here too.

WP: 3.8.1
bbPress: 2.5.3
Buddypress: 1.9.1

Just noticed it tonight after upgrading WP, something with 3.8.1??

[Stephen Edgar]

This could also possibly be related to https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2512

Can you try the workaround listed in that ticket:

Don’t run the bbp_admin_repair_forum_visibility repair tool

In the backend though edit the forum and updates it’s ‘visibility’ by:
Change the forum visibility from private to public and save
Change the forum visibility back to the original private status and save

[Stephen Edgar]

@vogelwild I just tested this.

* Created a new user, logged in, confirmed they had the bbPress Participant role
* As admin created a Private and a Hidden Forum and a new topic & reply in each
* Logged out and back in as the new user and they can see the private forum and both the topic and reply in that forum. They can’t see the Hidden forum because they don’t have access rights.

[Stephen Edgar]

At a quick glance I’m quite sure bbPress could do everything that you mention above, just not out of the box will it do those things.

You would need to make these customizations yourself or hire a programmer to do them for you.

The ‘threaded “hierarchal tree-style” would just be a matter of making some custom templates and would be quite quick. To setup the different theme for different users I think there are a few WordPress plugins that let your users choose what theme they want to use, so have two themes, one with the default bbPress theme (with or without customizations, and the other theme with your customized “hierarchal tree-style” templates.

There are some docs on getting started with custom templates https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
