I tired the new update and it resulted in blank pages across my entire site. I was able to get back to my wp-admin only to see:

Note I see this with my regular blog posts as well. When I disable bbpress my blog works again and post name appear correct.

Thanks for any help you might be able to give. My forum is down until I figure this one out or find the last version and restore.

Hi,

I have been having problems with forum building and would like to know if bbpress is capable of adding new members to the forum automatically incorporating wp-member plugin.

Basically a paid site which has a private forum, once someone pays their membership they automatically gain access to the forum.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure if this older post is of any help…create your plugin which will take keywords and add to META tags…

Is bbpress SEO friendly???

Sure appreciate if somebody could update? (post is 5 years old)

After the upgrade to 2.5 there are CSS errors because the include is broken! The cause is that the programmers didn’t thought about people hosting WordPresss (and bbpress) on Windows platforms. (Windows uses a different slash and different directory root/paths).

I’m hoping for a 2.5.1 fix 😉

ERRORS:

Note that the slashes are missing from the ‘plugin_dir’ part.

I think the problem is within the “private function setup_globals” of the bbpress.php file or the “public function __construct” of the bbpress-functions.php file.

And to answer your question yes their is a bbpress.css file in avada.

I don’t know if i’m allowed to post it here, could you confirm ? Themeforest and GPL… If yes I will.

[Thibaud]

Sure, although the first steps of customization comes from avada theme who integrate styles for bbpress as you can see on this page : http://theme-fusion.com/avada/forums/forum/general-information/

The following is the css i added to the style.css file of avada. I’m a begineer so let me know if something is wrong.

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-header, #bbpress-forums #bbp-single-user-details #bbp-user-navigation li.current a, div.bbp-template-notice, div.indicator-hint {
background: rgba(255, 204, 0, 0.65) !important;
}

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum, #bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.topic {
font-size: 17px;
}

li.bbp-forum-topic-count, li.bbp-topic-voice-count, li.bbp-forum-reply-count, li.bbp-topic-reply-count {
float: left;
text-align: center;
width: 11%;
}

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results, #bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum, #bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.topic, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-header, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author .bbp-reply-post-date, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-tags a, #bbpress-forums #bbp-single-user-details, div.bbp-template-notice, div.indicator-hint .bbp-arrow {
border-color: #FAD200 !important;
}

#bbpress-forums div.odd, #bbpress-forums ul.odd {
background: rgba(10, 89, 229, 0.16);
}

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results {
font-size: 15px;
}

And a few BBpress specific’s plugins :

Social Login (also a wordpress plugin)

Orbisius bbPress Enhancer

bbPress New Topic Emailer

bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab

bbPress2 shortcode whitelist

bbPress2 BBCode

And unfortunatly bbPress Threaded Replies doesn’t work with bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab, it’s one or the other.

[Asynaptic]

First, thank you to everyone involved! 🙂

Second, apologies for the dumb question, but I remember this from bbPress 2.4 and it is mentioned again above:

What does “replacing comments with bbPress topics” refer to exactly?

That instead of using WP or other (disqus) commenting system, comments are only posted to bbPress as forum threads? or something else?

[John James Jacoby]

Discuss bbPress 2.5 here!

[Stephen Edgar]

Out of luck at the moment due to your choice of bbp_user_subscribe_link for your example.

See bbPress Trac Ticket #2418

Generally though take a look in the Codex, there are a few examples to help you out:
eg https://codex.bbpress.org/bbp_show_lead_topic/

I am sorry to say I have uninstalled bbpress because I cannot stop the spam without introducing registration methods that I’m not happy with. If only this plugin could be made to work for bbpress!

[unklee]

I had the same problem and I have no answer. WP Captcha-Free is a wonderful plugin for WordPress blogs and keeps my blog spam-free, but I don’t know if it works for bbpress.

[psysex]

Hello, I’d like to share an issue I’m having with bbPress:
Uninstalling old version of bbpress, then installing 2.4.1, repair all and reset all. Starting on blank space.
I create one forum, then create a topic, but it stays with “(no forum)” status. I click on edit topic, then from the Forum drop down menu I select my only forum and click on Update button. And nothing happens – the topic is still with “no parent”.
Tried deleting all topics and forums – nothing helps?!
Any suggestions what else I can do?

[Halo Diehard]

@netweb, would you do me the favor of deleting the download link I posted 10 posts up please? Thanks 🙂

It doesn’t look like it, but does bbPress have it’s own XML importer available? Again, I’ve successfully converted my phpBB3 forums onto my local bbPress, and now I’m unsure how to get those posts onto my live site. Would I just export the bbPress tables from my local database and import them into my live site’s database?

[YacoRoca]

hello, on the post: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/author-posts-position-messsed-up/

I posted a topic recently and soon after my hosting account got suspended, according to the Hosting Company,

“The account was suspended due to extremely high resource usage caused by large traffic to /dev/dunna/foros/ and /dev/dunna/forums/foro/ locations. In total there were over 80,000 hits to this location within 5 hours before the suspension had to be placed. “

So I am urgently asking you to please remove the links I posted there, as I do not seem to have access to doing so myself. This is causing my hosting account, as well as the development site I need to work on, great harm.

If this is not the proper channel, please let me know which is, however any and all help in removing those links from my original post are much appreciated.

[daronson]

First off I’m very new to wordpress, so I am sure it is user error.

I’m trying to create a forum for our boyscout site and installed bbpress tried to create forums but the index page looks totally broken only partially shows one of five forums. The page is here:

I’m not sure why the text is all smashed together and no indexes shown. WordPress version is 3.7.1

Any help is appreciated.

Edit: Link removed

[meltdown87]

I have the BBpress 2.4.1 plugin installed on http://www.thefilthyfew.nl with the Gamefun theme, but it is not displaying properly. I found out that the theme is to blame, because when i change it to the simple twenty thirteen theme, it works like a charm.

I still have to style it so it’s white now in stead of black, but never mind that for now. The thing that is going wrong: when i click on a forum, for example ‘Main forum’, (which already has 1 topic and 2 posts in it) nothing displays. No topics, no formfields to post anything, only the title ‘Main forum’ is displayed.

Please help me, i’ve been struggling with this for a really long time now 🙁 !

I’m using WordPress 3.7.1

[3tonine]

I feel sorry that no one ever reply you, just drop in to share my little experience, hope it helps:

My solution, so far, is to install one of the Tinymce enhanced plugins,

ie. Ultimate Tinymce or Tinymce advanced;

Then I insert the customized version of it into the forum post editor by installing this plugin:

bbpress enable tinymce visual tab

I’d say this is not a perfect solution, but at least my users are no more served with just a text/code editor.

Goodday 😉

[Thibaud]

Hi, just to show my bbpress integration on http://forum.biflora.fr/

Congrat, great plugin. Feel free to make suggestions. And questions are more than welcome.

Cheers

[Robin W]

This may look a bit messy but without spending a lot of time

In loop-single-reply.php (wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress)

change line 45 which uses bbp_reply_author_link

and use

bbp_get_reply_author_avatarto display the avatar and

bbp_get_reply_author_id
to get the id – you’ll then need to play with maybe

bbp_get_reply_author()
putting the id in the brackets

eg bbp_get_reply_author(bbp_get_reply_author_id )

should give you the username rather than display name

you’d then need to play with

content-single-topic.php for the forum lists (wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress)

I installed a bbPress forum on my WordPress blog as a trial, set up a couple of trial forums, then didn’t work on it for a week or two. In that time, that trial forum, with no links from anywhere, received more than 500 spam registrations. Obviously I’m not happy with that, for although the spambots were prevented from posting (mostly), it was still a pain removing all the requests.

On my WordPress blog, I use WP Captcha-Free plugin to stop spam, and it works really well. One of the attractions of installing a forum within WordPress was using this plugin on the forum as well. But it doesn’t seem to apply to bbPress.

Does anyone know if there is any way to make this WP plugin work in bbPress, or is that a silly question?

Thanks.

[infostrides]

Is there anything I can do to help?

@Stephen Thanks. I have moved to the forum to sub-folder for the time being.

don’t give up, I’m pretty sure if you find the conflicting topics and delete them the import WILL work just fine, I know it’s not perfect, but I think it is worth it.

@manuxel Thanks. I will look into it again once I finish setting up the main WordPress site.

[infostrides]

Thanks. The query output nothing.

[april]

I don’t get it. Is there no answer to this question or what?

Why do other topics appear to be posted after mine and still receive responses?

This is getting incredibly frustrating.
