Disallow editing after
Set this to the time (in number of minutes) to limit post editing. Once the time limit has been reached the forum post no longer be available for editing to forum participants. Administrators and bbPress Moderators can override this setting at any time.

You should also see the ‘EDIT’ (and other tools) like this:

This could be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.

Also try the repair tools https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/

Nice : Thanks 🙂

Did you use single or double quotes around wp_?

The error you show above showing the error as \”wp_\”forum_forums is an odd one, if things were working correctly I would expect the error to look more like this wp_forum_forums.

Open up your wp-config.php file again:

// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'database_name_here');

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'username_here');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password_here');

/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

Make sure the values above are the ones you are using on the bbPress import settings and that you select Mingle as the import type.

If you still have the same issue you might have to have a chat with your web host to see if there is some extra SQL settings needed by them.

I’ve spent many, many hours trying to modify my template to achieve something like this. I was about to throw in the towel when I came across this post. I like bbPress, but I find the format of other forums to be more familiar to my customers so it’s better not to make things more difficult 🙂

Thanks a million!

It’s quite simple to get ti up and running – just work you way through the following resource

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

If you are using a default core theme, it’ll be going in a couple of hours. if you have a custom theme, the functionality will be there, but the look and feel might be a little different from your theme, and you’ll need to style it – not that hard to do, but does require some knowledge of using FTP and a code editor.

I’ll be finishing this article during the next week.

Hello Stephen,
Thank you so much for replying. I opened the wp-config.php and looked up the $table_prefix and it was ‘wp_’ so I tried to run the convert/import and it came up with this message:

Starting ConversionRepair any missing information: Continue
WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘\”wp_\”forum_forums AS forum_forums LIMIT 0, 100’ at line 1]

I’m really not sure what to do here. Like I said I’m a SQL newbie so I really don’t understand much about it yet.

Thank you for your assistance so far,
Scott

I installed bbpress with buddy both are latest version on my WP new installation, I register as a new member having a participant role on bbpress but I noticed that when I clicked on “FORUM” tap on my buddy profile there no link to create a new topic, I want to enable topic creation for my members. Maybe am not doing something right pleas help.

[Stephen Edgar]

They should be renamed to bbpress-ru_RU.po & bbpress-ru_RU.mo
They should go here -> /wp-content/languages/bbpress/
(If you put them in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/languages they will be deleted when bbPress is updated)

Full details are here -> https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

And Russian here -> https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/russian-%d1%80%d1%83%d1%81%d1%81%d0%ba%d0%b8%d0%b9-ru_ru/

Hi

How can I prevent bbPress from posting to activity stream?

Thanks
Deon

[Stephen Edgar]

It looks like you used wp_forums_\ as the table prefix on the importer settings, as a quick guess I think it should be wp_

Edit: You can confirm what this value should be by opening the wp-config.php file in the root of the WordPress install that has Mingle forums installed.

/**
 * WordPress Database Table prefix.
 *
 * You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique
 * prefix. Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!
 */
$table_prefix  = 'wp_';

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks for this and yes, confirmed 🙁

I have added a patch to the bbPress Trac Ticket #2472

I also added the full Mingle.php with the patch included, could you download this and test it.

It should fix both the issue where multiple topics have the same title and also renamed topics.

Update: WordPress SEO by Yoast can do this! At the Title & Metas tab —>Post Type —> Custom Post Type Archive, there are options for BBpress titles so all the problems above resolved! If am not wrong, All In One SEO can not do this (I have this experience with All In One SEO before). Thanks. Nice day

I have a disagreement with a designer on setting up bbPress forum on a new website. The design company has experience in forum setup.

The disagreement is here nor there really as I put it in the original site map document but now they say it’s not.

My question is how easy is it to setup a simple forum? How many hours? All I need is a simple forum for a very small community. 3-4 sections (General, Troubleshooting, Q&A etc) and that’s it. Management wouldn’t be through the design company.

A bit like this forum http://wpcandy.com/discussions/ .

Appreciate your thoughts.

[ctltvoz]

I would like to ask if I am able to use <!–more–> tag to shorten the long post & long reply in bbPress! If yes, please show me how to do it?

[lerneree11111]

hello! I’ve uploaded in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/languages/ files bbpress-2.4.x-ru_RU.mo and
bbpress-2.4.x-ru_RU.po In wp-config define(‘WPLANG’, ‘ru_RU’);
Nothing happen, language still English
Please, help

[Donta]

I even tried to put define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘2048M’);
define(‘WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘2048M’); in wp-config.php file.

[Donta]

upgraded from vb 4.1.5 to 4.2.2. so far the import was going great until i got this error.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 32 bytes) in /home/admin/public_html/…/wp-db.php on line 1001

I tried to allocate more memory (2000M) at php.ini and I am still facing such problem.

[Stephen Edgar]

The only other thing I can think of is switch to the Twenty Twelve theme, disable all your plugins and go for a look around your site. If you don’t see the issue elsewhere now enable BudddyPress, how about now? Next enable bbPress, now? Back to your theme, check again, enable each of your plugins one by one.

[Robin W]

I’ve just created a fresh wordpress site 3.7.1 with theme twentytwelve, and added bbpress 2.4.1 to it.

I am able to create forums, set up users, tools etc. etc.

[David2013]

$retstr = sprintf( esc_html__( 'This forum contains %1$s, and was last updated by %2$s %3$s.', 'bbpress' ), $topic_text, $last_updated_by, $time_since );

Warning: sprintf() [function.sprintf]: Too few arguments in /xxx/xxx/xxx/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/template.php on line 187

bbPress Version 2.4.1
WordPress 3.7.1.
Buddypress Version 1.8.1
WPML Version 3.0.1

I need help please,
David

[David2013]

$retstr = sprintf( esc_html__( 'This forum contains %1$s, and was last updated by %2$s %3$s.', 'bbpress' ), $topic_text, $last_updated_by, $time_since );

I still didn’t figure it out whats wrong.

[Robin W]

Yes totally.

You can create a full width page forum if you wish – if your theme has a full width page option then just create a full width page, put the index shortcode within it [bbp-forum-index].

But it may be better to have a separate sidebar, so that you can have login and latest posts – see http://www.gospbc.co.uk/forums for an example.

Once you have installed bbpress, then install a plugin called bbPress WP tweaks. it gives you a forum specific sidebar, so you can add login and latest posts widgets

You can also use a plugin called “widget logic” with your normal sidebar to control what widgets are seen on what pages. For instance a widget will not appear if you use the logic !is_bbpress()m or will appear if you use is_bbpress()

[Robin W]

Yes, create a page called say “foumsd2 and put the following shortcode in

[bbp-forum-index]

There’s a full list of shortcodes at
