As per the theme support page, I went to bbpress\templates\default\ and copied the bbpress and css folders into my theme folder. I also copied archive-forum.php and single-user.php in to the theme folder.

I made a few modifications to archive-forum.php and single-user.php to fit into the page and remove the sidebar.

Seems like most functions are working now except Search. It still goes to a wonky page. Where do I go to look to fix that?

Hi there.

This is the page in question: http://www.michiganracquetball.net/forums/

I’m wondering if there is a way for me to remove the “posted by … ” and the “categories” at the top and the bottom of the forum content area. I think those might be related to the metadata of the forum (the page thinks the forum is a “post”?), but I haven’t a clue where to find what is generating that or how to get rid of it.

Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Jen

For those still struggling with the garbled forums page in a stock woothemes canvas installation (or child theme off canvas) this support post at WooThemes really helps:
http://support.woothemes.com/entries/24051302-Fix-bbPress-forum-search-in-Canvas

The woo team created a simple bbpress template for use in canvas and included the attached files – one template file and a some code for functions.php.

Works like a charm.

Your first “forum” is actually your home page – most people run forums as a sub to their main site -the site sort of thinks it is displaying

home>forums>Digital terrestrial

Interesting thread here

How do I edit bbPress breadcrumbs?

Which makes me think this plugin might be what you need to lose the “home” page bit in the breadcrumb.

It that doesn’t work, come back and I’ll try to work out where in the plugin you put some code.

thank you koendb for the info about resizing the forum page

however, I am still having a problem with the subpages of the forum still showing the sidebar

how do I remove the sidebar from the forum subpages?

Hi,

I have created an open private forum. When a person registers and logs in, they are directed to the front page of my site. When they access the dashboard and try to click on the forum topics they get a message that says “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” My question is:

1. When they log in, is there a way that they could get directed straight to the forum instead of being directed to my site’s front page.
2. When they go to the Dashboard, how can I give them access to the topics so they don’t get the message: “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

bbPress Version: 2.4.1
WordPress 3.7.1.
Genesis Version: 1.9.2
bbPress Genesis Extend Version 1.0.1

Thanks,

De-activate all the plugins and try re-installing/activating bbpress plugin .

[phoenixbelle1]

I have seen this question asked often but I cannot see an answer. I set up bbpress yesterday, all looks OK so far. When a new user registers an email is sent to their address. The information isn’t very helpful or friendly or even clear who it’s from and the link provided is http://lancaster.thefamilynoticeboard.co.uk/wp-login.php

I don’t want users sent to the WP login screen. I want them to be directed to my forum page where there is a login widget.

Secondly can the register widget be adapted to ask for first and last name as well as username or any other information I may want to record?

My WordPress version is 3.6 and bbpress is 2.4.1

Thank you!

[neotrikz]

Your blog’s theme does not have support for bbpress, the same happened with me.

[neotrikz]

You can try this plugin >> https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-antispam/

Hey

I am using bbpress with my website and since a long time I am getting weird users and names like this one for example
http://www.techknowledgic.com/forums/users/uzjlonatz/

I was getting like 1 new weird user everyday but yesterday I got more than 120 users and all have weird names and last time one of them wrote a post in my forum it almost didn’t have any links but just weird characteristics and letters

so is that a robot or real people trying to get my website down? because not always I see them in my stats like new statcounter visitors and they are stealth

knowing that I am using Akismet but it’s not working

so please help me

Thanks

this is a bug in WordPress; see this ticket

[eduardosilva]

Hello,

Sorry for bumping my own post, but anyone have any idea, suggestion or workaround?

🙁

Thanks

[nickhepp]

Hello, I will apologize in advance if this has been covered but I see bits and pieces around these topics but the solutions are outdated or I just dont get the whole solution.

I would like to modify two things about the bbPress forum registration process:
1) I would like the user to go to a page of my choosing on successful registration, not WordPress backend login.
2) I would like the registration email to contain a link of my choosing (same as 1) instead of to the WordPress backend login.

I have seen many posts on this forum suggesting to edit certain php pages which I am comfortable with, but the details must be for old versions of bbPress b/c I cannot find the PHP pages in question. I have downloaded most of my website through FTP and tried to text search for the specific functions and cant find them either. I know I am missing something. Other things I have seen mentioned are including filters. I am really unsure of how filters are integrated into the solution (I am very new to WordPress). I think I am close to a solution, or if someone has a really nice plugin I would love that.

Here are my environment specs:
bbPress 2.4
WordPress 3.6

Thank you in advance.

Hello,
I’m hoping someone can help me. I found a similar topic but I wanted to ask it specifically for my situation.

I have a website that is running Mingle Forum currently. I’m starting to run into all kinds of problems with that. If I or someone creates a reply or post, it doesn’t show up right away. Actually sometimes it takes up to 30 minutes for it to appear, and some get impatient and repost and it ends up leaving double and triple posts. There are all kinds of issues and its not reliable for my site. I want to convert it to a more reliable forum plugin, bbPress specifically, but I don’t want to lose the topics and posts I currently have. Is there a way to point to that database that contains the info and import it in during the install or during the setup?

Any help that someone can give would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Scott

I’d be interested in an answer on this too please.

Page 2 goes to wrong forum

I really need to fix this as my site is growing

[Robin W]

I presume you are not the administrator of this site, so you’ll need to get the admin to give you privilege to access this area.

[Nizam]

Hello all.

May I reconfirm this :

The converter now is running well, except for the smilies?

Regard.

[Stephen Edgar]

Your sign in issues are WordPress & MediaWiki issues, nothing to do with bbPress, I suggest you ask on WordPress Support https://wordpress.org/support/

Your bbPress issue is not existant now as all I see is SimplePress on your site.

[Stephen Edgar]

Having a quick look you should be able to export the ‘questions’ via /wp-admin/export.php

As the plugin uses ‘Custom Post Types’ you should be able to then edit the exported XML file and find do a search and replace:

Find <wp:post_type>question</wp:post_type>

Replace <wp:post_type>topic</wp:post_type>

I had issues with the plugin on my site so I am not sure if it uses ‘question’ for the answers or uses ‘answers’ as a CPT for them, if it does use ‘answers’ then search and replace:

Find <wp:post_type>answers</wp:post_type>

Replace <wp:post_type>reply</wp:post_type>

Once you have done that then import them back into WordPress and see how they look, no doubt there will be a few issues such as topics not associated with a forum and depending on how many of these you have editing them in bbPress topic/reply panels should help you fix up any issues, if you have thousands then doing some more tweaking in the XML would be your best bet.

To get an idea of what you would need the best idea would be to export some bbPress forums, topics & replies and have a look at the XML and this should help you work out what values you need to use for search and replace.
