i’m using a multisite install and need to set 2 different types of roles for my users. when a new user registers, it sets the role to participant and nothing in the primary role.
ex. new user registers, in my main site’s user panel (not under network admin), under the role column, it says ‘participant’. when i click to edit the user, it says ‘no role assigned’. this tells me the primary role is not being assigned, only the bbpress forum role.
i used the ‘user role editor’ plugin to see what’s happening, and under primary role, the user has nothing (it says no role assigned). i tried unchecking the ‘auto assign role’ in bbpress settings, but then something weird happens for new registrations. no users appear in the user panel of my main site. they only appear in my network admin site.
i’m ok if bbpress assigns a participant role for the forum, but why isn’t the primary role being assigned?
thanks in advance!
By script I meant the file SMF.3.PHP found attached in THIS TICKET as written in the first post of this topic.
You download it an then upload it to your site in this path
/bbpress/includes/admin/converters/
Should be in the plugins folder
Then follow the instructions in the link from my other post.
Hope that helps
Thank you for the hints but in my case, I have the bbpress as plugin in WordPress.
How do I approach it? Thanks.
When I have the plugin “bbPress” activated I get this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDAp8M7CuPk) included in the slideshow on every product page as well as a blank image and a pop up message that reads “The page at http://www.curioclayworks says: Image cannot be loaded. Make sure the patch is correct and the image exist”. When the plugin is deactivated (which it is right now) the video disappears and I only have the blank image with the pop up. I’d like to only have the images I select to be in the slideshow on each product page and I certainly don’t want an install video to be apart of that slideshow. When I disable the bbPress plugin I lose functionality of the “Jetpack WordPress.com Stats: Put a chart showing 48 hours of views in the admin bar” which I’d like to keep and I’d like the functionality of the bbPress plugin itself for the future. I’ve looked through my media library and I the video isn’t there. I’m not sure how to remove it and keep bbPress active. Any tips?
WordPress version: 3.7.1
bbPress version: 2.4.1
Link to my site: http://www.curioclayworks.com
Tried downloading bbpress 2.4.1 on a new wp site that is on 3.7.1, plug-in failed to work after activation.
First download the script and then upload it to
/bbpress/includes/admin/converters/
Then you can follow the instructions HERE
Thanks for the script. I would also like to convert my SMF to BBPress.
How do I get started with your script?
The repair tool did it. Thanks.
bbPress is purposely limited to list only 50 forums at a time.
See this post for more information and context:
Next & Previous page links not working on Forums page
Edit: bbPress is not limited to 50 forums, only 50 forums at a time can be displayed by design.
Ok, I see what your trying to achieve.
Create a ticket on Trac for this http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org
No, there isn’t, the shortcodes included with bbPress -> https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
You can append ?view=all if you are a moderator or keymaster in various places though.
http://example.com/forums/profile/username/topics?view=all
http://example.com/forums/forum/myforum?view=all
Run the repair tools and your 4 topics should come back
https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/
That’s not a problem Bob. Just add a topic on your forum and those warning will be gone. It’s just notifying you that there are no content in your forum. 🙂
I have a client experiencing the same issue, using bbPress 2.4.1 with WordPress 3.7.1 – replies showing up not in sequential time order, so it’s hard for users to keep track of the discussion.
In a post I just checked reply #9059 shows below #9056 but above #9057. Threaded replies are enabled to 6 levels.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
I’m having similar issues…
Any new topics created all pull the blog sidebar even though every setting is pointing at the bbpress sidebar.
I tried creating a sidebar manually and the same happened. Have also tried the steps above (removal and readding of plugin) but still get same issues.
The other small issue is on the breadcrumb menu there is a parent page that I’ve never set, that takes you to root of forum but that page also pulls the blog sidebar?
I’m using the Avada theme.
Thanks
Create a page, and put the following shortcode in it
[bbp-forum-index]
or if you want to get more specific then look at all the shortcodes

Vkymunir, you should really start your own topic, but as you’ve posted here, go to the following link
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
Newbie question…
bbpress reports lots of topics within a forum but doesn’t list any. Any idea what’s going on?
http://www.salessummits.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/bbpress.pdf
This is a very simple site with a discussion forum. The image is a screenshot as the site is protected.
bbpress 2.4.1
Wordpress 3.7.1
I am running WordPress 3.7.1 and bbPress 2.4.1. When logged in as an admin, when I try to edit a large Page, I get a completely blank screen, not even showing the WordPress sidebars. When I deactivate bbPress, I can edit the page with no issues.
Unfortunately it’s css and php files that you will need to amend
Quickest change would be to add the following to your style.css
#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {
display: list-item !important;
font-size: 11px;
}
or to amend the display line in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css line 121
That’ll get your list vertical.
Add descriptions to your forums (dashboard>forums>edit and put something in content) and you’ll have the next part.
Then if you want to alter the display, you’ll need to look at loop-single-forum.php
or the main forum display loop-forums.php
Hey,
I just finished creating the 2.0 version of my guild’s website. The earlier version was running really old wp+bp+bbp, so I wanted to create everything from the ground up.
I had a lot of issues importing the forums and users from the old site, since I didn’t want to import thousands of spambots.
Anyway, you can check out the forum at:
http://www.loreschool.com/forums/ and the whole site at the same place.
I’m running BuddyPress + BBPress. What do you think? Site is fully responsive but I still have some graphic elements and css to fix on some resolutions. Any feedback is welcome 🙂
EDIT: One of my biggest issues is that the Search widget is not searching anything from the forums, so I have to use some BBPress search widget, which in other hand doesnt search anything from posts. Any ideas for a fix?
WordPress sends emails for user registration not bbPress. I suggest you check to see if emails are being sent for blog post notifications and/or new comments etc and post to https://wordpress.org/support/ if you need more help troubleshooting your WP install. You should also check with your web host that there are no issues on that side of things.
Additionally I have it set up for new users to be assigned the role of “participant” for the forums, and when they register no role is selected for them until I change it manually. I am running bbpress
The forum role is not actually set until the user logs in for the first time at which time they will then be assigned the role defined in the settings.
When new users register on my website, they are not being sent an email with their password. Additionally I have it set up for new users to be assigned the role of “participant” for the forums, and when they register no role is selected for them until I change it manually. I am running bbpress plugin 2.4.1 on WordPress 3.7.1. My site is http://birdingacrossamerica.com. I am using the shortcode [bbp-login]. Previously I had no problems with users registering, getting their passwords, and being assigned the particpant role. I’m not sure when it changed, but it is no longer working.
Thanks for your help.
It sounds more like a job for the P2 theme rather than bbPress 😉
