The only fix in bbPress 2.5.2 is for BuddyPress notifications issues see #2495 for more details.

[John James Jacoby]

Use WordPress’s Importer. bbPress works just fine with it.

Hi,
I currently have a WordPress installation at website.com/blog/, and a bbPress forum at website.com/blog/forum. Ideally I’d like to have the forum at website.com/forum. Is this possible? I’ve tried a few different rewrites in my Apache site configuration but haven’t managed to get it working.

Best regards,
Sam

Hello, I’m also have this problem with my Forum Index Page. I’m using bbpress 2.5.1 and am using the Child Theme Configurator Plugin to make a child theme. But I still only get the bullet points without any formatting. Could you please help?

My site is: http://www.nippoz.com/forum-index-page/

I am also having this issue. It just started and all of my admin profiles have the highest level of permission. I’m also running Buddy Press and Another WordPress Classifieds Plugin (AWPCP).If i can not resolve soon I will need to stop using BBPress. We have to launch soon.

Hii…I have read some posts regarding this, however I seem to get an error message when I attempt to upload an image. (An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.)

I am trying to add a Forum ICON to bbPress…I came across this article (http://www.kristarella.com/2013/04/bbpress-forum-icons/) — and it seems to work in the sense that it adds the option to include a “feature image” to my forum pages…however, when I attempt to upload an image I get an upload error each time.

Is anyone familar with adding a Forum ICON to bbPress??…any kind of help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Thank you for this amazing addon.
I’m sorry but I really don’t know how to get this code working. I tried to copy-paste the first github file to my bbpress-functions.php, however my website got crashed due to a string error. Can you please explain a beginner like me how to do that from scratch?
Thanks!

I want to export a bbPress 2.5.1 forum from one WP installation to another WP installation on the same server into a currently installed bbPress 2.5.1 empty forum.

When I look at the import tools, I see that there is no selection for bbPress 2.5.1!

I am at a loss how to accomplish this, can anyone provide some help?
Thank you, Matoca

Hi…Hopefully someone can help me figure this out…i am fairly new, so please bare with me. 🙂

I have researched this heavily & come across a few topics – yet there has been mixed opinions on a solution….I am trying to figure out how to create different Forum Sections to my site…a perfect example of this is: http://loreschool.com/forums/ and http://teamoverpowered.com/forums/

By default, it seems BBPress only allows you to create (1) forum index…but, how can I create another section to split up the forum into categories – such as in those examples above?

I noticed a Ticket for this feature was created 15 months ago…but unfortunately it keeps getting bumped & not included into BBPress….this is such a common & familiar feature in popular forums, I am surpised it is not already part of BBPress..

Any help & response would be greatly appreciated…Thank you!

Hi Stephen – I wanted to come back and update this thread with a SOLVED notice – At the end of the day the solution was simple – don’t upgrade to Kunena 1.6 – upgrade to Kunena 1.7.2 instead!! I spent weeks looking for solutions but the fix took only a few minutes when I made the decision to skip multiple versions. bbpress is working with 7500 old posts seeding the new forum

Anyway for anyone else following who has the same issues – upgrade to a later version that is still capable of working with Joomla 1.5.

A huge thank you to Stephen for taking the time to work with me on getting this migration happening

Cheers

Paul

Ater installation yesterday no problem. I could see ‘forums’ in the left balk of WP (dashboardbalk). Today no longer.
I removed BBPres and installed again. Without any luck. It is stil not visible on the left site of WordPress.
Any idea?
Many thanks,
Peter

Hey, I’m no expert in using bbpress and buddypress and so I’m facing some problems with integrating bbpress to my buddypress.
I already have a css for my buddypress group forums. Now my Question:
Is it possible to use this stylesheet for my bbpress forum? or are there other solutions?
I want my group forums to be displayed on ONE site but still separated. So each group should have its own “directory”.
Any Ideas?

Hi, in my bbpress I have some main forums redirected to other pages. In the main page, I can see in those forum titles that it shows up (in spanish) “0 debates”, “0 mensajes” and “Sin Hilos”. Since those forums are not set to reply, or create topics etc… I don’t want that info showing up in those exact forum titles. Is there a way to achieve that?

You can see the forum here. I have that problem with the first four forums.

Thank’s for your help.

[Pippin Williamson]

No, bbPress only functions as a WordPress plugin.

[Will Brownsberger]

Stumbled into a solution for this.

In this file:
/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/users/functions.php

Comment out lines 34 and 35. Lines 33 through 35 as appearing in the original are shown below. Line 33 contains the comment from the original.

33	// $url was manually set in wp-login.php to redirect to admin
 34	elseif ( admin_url() === $url )
 35		$url = home_url();

Hate to edit the core functions, but it works.

Please note: Running Theme-my-login Version 6.3.8, bbPress Version 2.5.1, WordPress 3.8.

[Will Brownsberger]

The redirection settings don’t help.

Having the same problems.

Problem also appears here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-theme-my-login-login-redirect-issue-with-bbpress

For me, these coding solutions don’t seem to work either:

I have a PHP site http://www.stemcellcure.in and http://www.cellmedicaltourism.com . I want to add forums and comment functionality to my websites. Can bbPress be used for these sites?

[dansearle]

Hi,

I’m running WP 3.8 with BuddyPress 1.9 and bbPress 2.5.1.

I’m writing my own theme and I want to create a new WP user role, “Special Admin” which is a normal admin user but with restrictions that I’ve manually applied in my theme functions.php.

What I now need to do is to give that user the KeyMaster rights for bbPress, but I can’t see how to do that.

My site actually comprises 3 themes, and this user will use all 3, so to avoid code repetition I’m setting up the rights in a bespoke plugin I’m writing.

I thought from reading the bbPress source that I could use the filter bbp_get_user_role_map to add. Here’s the code I’m trying:

// Give the Special Administrator the Keymaster capabilities.

add_filter('bbp_get_user_role_map', 'add_keymaster_to_special_administrator');

function add_keymaster_to_special_administrator($role_map){
    $role_map['special_administrator'] = bbp_get_keymaster_role();

    return $role_map;
}

The problem is that the filter is never processed – I’ve thrown a die in there to check and it’s not being executed.

Can anyone tell me what I’m missing?

[Hilltop]

These responses are from many years ago and those files don’t seem to exist any more. Is it still possible to change the font size of the bbPress tag cloud? I’ve been trying various functions but cannot get it to work, and I’ve tried searching through the bbPress files for bb_tag_heat_map but cannot find that anywhere.

The default font sizes are too big and the tags are hanging of the page of our forum. If someone can please help me to change the maximum font size for the tag cloud it would be most appreciated.

Thanks you!

Installed bbPress on a Gabfire premium theme but while the text area is there it is not defined by a keyline and hence is not obvious.

The problem repeats with Twenty Fourteen albeit not so badly as the keyline for the text area appears in Twenty Fourteen when I hover. I’m sure this is a stylesheet issue but I cannot work out what I need to do to correct it.

As an example see:
