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!

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

Hello,

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

🙁

Thanks

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will apologize in advance if this has been covered but I see bits and pieces around these topics but the solutions are outdated or I just dont get the whole solution.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

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.

Hello all.

May I reconfirm this :

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

Regard.

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.

[Stephen Edgar]

Cool, things look good on your site now 🙂

For the users simply check the following box when you are importing your forum 😉
Convert Users - Attempt to import user accounts from previous forums
(Yes, you will have to reset bbPress and run your import again https://codex.bbpress.org/reset-forums/)

[Stephen Edgar]

I would suggest you ask your web host as to why you are getting this error.

Also try deactivating all your other plugins so make sure there is no plugin conflicts, also try using one of the built in themes such as Twenty Eleven/Twenty Twelve/Twenty Thirteen

My simple avatar plugin works really well with BBPress, except for the ability to delete the avatar from the bbpress profile editing page. When you click that button, the avatar does not get deleted. It still works from the wordpress admin Edit User page, but not on the site’s front end. Any ideas on this?

[josefelix]

Hey @fskrdla, can you please help me? I’m having the exact same issue, I’m in no way a programmer but I get around. I tried installing both Bbpress (2.4) and Buddypress (1.8) on WordPress (3.7) and I can’t for the life of me to get them to work. I updated the settings on my server to PHP 5.3, but I can’t seem to activate both BB and Buddy at the same time, I get a memory allocation error.

Do you have any tips on how to solve this? Thanks so much either way!

[VegasKev88]

This issue is not resolved on my installation for some reason. I notified trac here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2327#comment:11

[connielk]

I am having an issue displaying the forums on the standard url that bbpress uses.

See this page:

redhorsecrm.com/forums

This is the page I’m told to use by bbPress as to where the forums should display correctly. It does not look correct at all.

Then see this page:

redhorsecrm.com/forum

This page is one that I created and put a shortcode on to display the forums. It looks correct.

I don’t mind using the shortcode, since it displays the forum correctly. However, the breadcrumb points to the page that does not display correctly. So if a user uses the breadcrumb, they will be lost.

I understand this may be a theme issue, but this is a pretty standard theme Customizr and it “should” be compatible. Yes, I did ask Customizr but they didn’t have a clue.

Any ideas how to fix this?

[channelwiki]

I am currently using BBPress and will integrate it with MediaWiki.

However, the problem is as my forum’s index is set to display as a shortcode on a page called ‘Forums’, which is set as my site’s homepage the breadcrumbs display as follows:

Forums >> Forums >> Digital Terrestrial

See: http://www.channelwiki.org/forums/?forum=digital-terrestrial

As you can see the second ‘forums’ link takes a user to the default BBPress Forum index (not my sites homepage). How can this second ‘Forums’ link be removed?

The second issue is, as users are signing in via MediaWiki and will then be signed in to WordPress when they access the site automatically, how can I disable sign in via WordPress and registration, but still allow access to private messages and sign in via the wiki? The WP-Admin bar will also be hidden

Another issue is that I do not know how to redirect users back to the wiki. I’ve though about placing a ‘Log in’ link in the site’s main navigation, which links to the wiki’s login page but I’m not sure how to redirect them back.

Many thanks in advance,
channelwiki

I’m using bbpress 2.4.1 and bbpress moderation to moderate posts (which just sets the status of new topcis and replies to ‘pending’). I’m trying to add an admin link on topics and replies that need to be approved by an admin. Everything works fine, but the top level freshness statistic is not being updated when I change the status of a topic or reply from ‘pending’ to ‘publish’. This is the freshness statistic that shows when a forum was last updated (more specifically bbp_forum_freshness_link()).

This stat does get updated when publishing a pending post from the backend via Forums > Topics or Forums > Replies. I’ve tried everything to trigger the stats to refresh. So I guess a better question may be, how do I trigger a refresh on this stat. (I’ve tried going though wp_update_post, wp_insert_post, bbp_update_topic, wp_transition_post_status, and a few other functions and none of them trigger a refresh of the top level forum freshness stat). The only things that has come close is to call bbp_admin_repair_freshness() after updating the post. This seems to work for topics but not replies.

Any help would be appreciated.
