Managed to resolve this myself, using another plugin, Page Security: http://www.contextureintl.com/wordpress/contexture-page-security-for-wordpress/

I would have thought that either this sort of functionality could be built in to bbpress, or bbpress documentation could include clearer help and advice that such a plug in might be needed.

i would mark this topic as closed, but can’t see how to do so…

Hey All,

I just downloaded and installed the bbPress addon. Now my entire site (including the WP dashboard) is totally inaccessible – all that displays is a white screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have installed the lates wp, buddypress and bbpress. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to search a single forum? Can you please assist me in this silly situation of mine. I am sure there has to be a way.

Thank you so much for helping me.

I have never used these guys but you could try

or try putting an ad on

[Robin W]

your forum pages are at

http://nonsoloturisti.it/forums/

I am not certain what you have at http://nonsoloturisti.it/forum/

Normally bbpress is administered though the dashboard

Can you explain further?

[alle50]

BBpress is installed and working fine but I can’t access the admin pages of the forum

nonsoloturisti.it/forum is the link but I get an error. How to solve this problem? Thanks

SEO issues bbPress with buddypress

This means that there are duplication issues on title tags and metadescriptions within the groups and subcategories.

groups/automotive/forum

/automotive/forum/topic/test/

both have the same title even using yoasta

Is there any way so that the title of the post is pulled through to the title tag and the description is pulled through to the metadescription?

Hi. I have 2 questions please.

1. I want to install bbpress as part of a larger website to replace an old Vanilla forum, which has a subdirectory structure I have defined, with links from over a hundred web pages. But when I start to set up the forum, I can choose my name for the forum root, but I seem to be forced to use a subdirectory structure that begins with mydomain/blog/forum root/forum. This doesn’t match what was there before, and so I will have to change the links on a hundred+ pages. Is there any way to change the root of the forum to something simpler like mydomain/myname?

2. I use a WordPress theme with several options for sidebars ( one each side, two on the right, only one, etc). Each post I can choose which option I want. But when I begin a new forum for each topic, I don’t get that choice, I just get the main sidebar, which is on the right on the blog, on the left as a default. Is there some way I can change this?

Thanks.

Hi All,

Hoping you can help; running WordPress 3.5.1 with Buddypress 1.7.1 and bbPress 2.3.2

I’ve been running sitewide forums for quite a while without issue; but recently we have needed to enable groups and group forums. I have done this successfully and I’m able to create groups and add forums to them; these show up correctly under the Group Forums Category and also within people’s profiles and the group itself.

However the problem arrives when trying to create a topic in a group forum (sitewide are still fine). You can create the topic and it is listed in the group forum after the fact; however when you click on topic to view it you get a http 500 error saying the page can’t be displayed.

additionally topics posted in both privite and hidden forums also show up in the bbpress “recent topics” widget for everyone to see (even logged out people) which defeats the purpose of being private or hidden.

I’ve tried using the forum repair option and this didnt help, anyone got any ideas what the problem might be?

Thanks!

Robin W,

Thank you for your help! PROPER USAGE of the theme’S Customiser is the solution:

The original GLOBAL LAYOUT of my current Bootstrap theme was set to FULL WIDTH. What I had tried to do was individually reset my forum pages to include a right sidebar.

Didn’t work…

When I reset my GLOBAL LAYOUT to RIGHT SIDEBAR, the bbPress forum pages then displayed properly, but the rest of my Pages & Posts looked like crap. I’m in the process of INDIVIDUALLY resetting the layout of my Pages & Posts to FULL WIDTH.

bbPress was never the problem. My choice of theme layout was. I guess that the current solution for enabling bbPress in Bootstrap Themes is to start your site with a GLOBAL LAYOUT that includes a SIDEBAR.

Hi,
Could tell me if it’s normal if bbpress is not indexed on google.
If not, could tell me how we could indexed all the messages on google ?

Hi, I have created a private forum for members of my Board and staff to share news and views. I’ve also created user accounts for the people I want to have access. My (stupid) question is this: how do those users get to the Forum? Where do they login and how?
No code please, I won’t understand it!
Using BBPress Version 2.4.1, WordPress 3.6.1, Theme is Graphene Version 1.9.2, website is http://www.yourbackyard.org.uk.

Hello!

I am having some issues with the settings of my Group forums not abiding by the settings I have assigned in the BBpress backend. My main forums work just fine and follow the settings perfectly. It is in the Group forums that threads are not limited to 15 posts like I have specified in the BBpress settings.

Is there something I am missing and is there a way I can get this issue resolved as my Groups are more popular than the main forums in this instance so users are asking if I could limit the post count per page per thread quickly so they do not have to scroll so much.

Here is an example of what I am talking about on my site.

I appreciate the reply, the reason I suggested that my settings were correct were that I used the settings out of that domain’s wp-config file.

Hmmmmm…. Probably need to ensure you have the correct table prefix…

However, let me ask you, how long does the converter script run before it starts feeding back responses on its activity? For example, if it is succeeding does it start listing the tables or posts successfully migrated?

Seconds…

My point is that I want to know whether I should walk away from it, if say, it hasn’t reported anything other than “started” within 5 minutes or so.

Your import ~200 posts should be done in under 2 minutes give or take.

Open up phpMyAdmin and check your table names for the Mingle forum

In my case above the table prefix I would use is wp_

The Mingle Forums Datbase Tables are: wp_forum_forums, wp_forum_group,s, wp_forum_posts, wp_forum_threads, wp_forum_usergroup2user & wp_forum_usergroups

I had read an article that said it took 4-5 hours for a site that had 100,000 posts on a forum. I am no where near that, but want to know if there is more that it reports than “started” and “finished”.

Thank you!

OK there was a similar question in the Buddyboss forums and if you are using the Buddyboss theme, it should be put in the bbpress subfolder (copy to child theme if not there) in the oop-single-reply.php file after the
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details' ); ?>

Now a further question – if I want to replace the Real Name displayed with only the @username, what should I do?
Thanks!

Hi,

I am trying to install a BBPress Forum to a website I am working on. However, after installing the plug-in the only page I can access is the edit page. Settings, Activate, and About bring me to a blank page with text that states “You Do Not Have Sufficient Permissions to Access this Page”

After installing the plug in, I clicked activate plug in from the page that shows it has been installed. I received the error message, but it still appears that the plug in has been activated, because it now says “deactivate” underneath it on the plug ins list.

The theme is Bretheon version 2.0.1, and WordPress version 3.6.1. Everything is up to date, and everything else is running smoothly. I do not have any other problems besides this plug in.

All I want to do is install a simple forum where people can communicate with each other.

Any more information I will gladly give. I am teaching myself web development, and want to be the best that I can possibly be. This installation however is giving me headaches!! Please help!!

I am running WP 3.6.1 with BBPress 2.4.1, BuddyPress 1.8.1, and WooThemes Canvas 5.4.0.

I noticed some JQuery code in the header of the homepage (and every other page on the site) for changing the code button to display backticks and for processing a few keybinds. This code originated from bbpress\templates\default\bbpress-functions.php and, according to the if statement that encapsulates the code, should only fire if bbp_use_wp_editor() is true. This if statement seems to be working incorrectly since the code shows up on the header of every page.

Now, this doesn’t cause issues for my site as far as I can see, but it does cause the site to run slightly slower because of the time it takes to load the code in the header. Anyone else have this issue?

[Vitor Moya]

Hi Guys,

I’m using WordPress 3.6.1 and BBpress 2.4.1 , but i having the same problem after installing and unistaling the BBpress plugin. I can’t create topics and a message “Error : Are You Sure you want to do this?” appears, please someone give me a solution for this

[Robin W]

If you’ve installed bbpress WP tweaks plugin (in addition to the bbpress plugin) then there are two login widgets.

the one you want is called “bbpress login widget” rather than the “bbpress login links widget” that you have used.

[Robin W]

correction to the above – forgot that like you I didn’t like the default login form.

Install bbpress WP tweaks – it has a login that appears in the sidebar, so takes away the WP login. looks much better

eg

http://www.gospbc.co.uk/forums

Also gives you a bbpress sidebar which you can use with your forum pages and other goodies
