You can set your forum slugs based on these docs https://codex.bbpress.org/forum-settings/#forum-root-slug

[Stephen Edgar]

I would suggest finding the offending plugin…

To try and resolve conflicts with other plugins please disable all your plugins except bbPress to see if the error persists. Re-enable each plugin one at a time and if things break again you should be able to now know which other plugin is causing the conflict.

[Stephen Edgar]

Most likely the port will be 3306, if that doesn’t work you will have to ask your web host what port number they use (if you do confirm the other database settings with them at the same time)

I’ll see how I go and will try to get the smilies into a new version shortly.

@manuxel is there another way to find it? I don’t have SSH access, and it could be timely to get from the client.

[Stephen Edgar]

@antonyc You can change the ‘Forum Root’ in bbPress settings

See the docs here for the hows and where https://codex.bbpress.org/forum-settings/#forum-root-slug

[Stephen Edgar]

Upgrade to bbPress 2.4.1 and you will due to all the bug fixes your issues will be resolved.

[Stephen Edgar]

Check that you don’t have any plugin conflicts…

Also check if you have a problem with your theme, check if it happens with TwentyTen or TwentyEleven.

And @ricov4 if you have SSH acces try
netstat -anp | grep -i mysql

[manuxel]

By the way, congratulations Edgar @netweb well deserved promotion…

[ricov4]

@netweb I had originally taken all of my information from there for the import, and I have attempted again since then.

Where can I find my database port number? This is unique to my hosting server?

[radleycollector]

I have installed the BBpress plugin so I can incorportae this into my wordpress.

But I had to do a mingle import which has worked.

But now I am left with the following url:

www .mywebsite .com/forums/forum/myforumname

I have used this to make my main page :
[bbp-forum-index] on the page /forum

But I really want to change the rest to /forum/forumname and not /forums/forum/forumname

Can this now be changed and how?

And also by using [bbp-forum-index] does it effect seo as no content is on that landing page?

many thanks

[Robin W]

ok try the following

Create a page called “forums”

Put some welcome text at the top eg “hello welcome to my forum”
Then put the following:
[bbp-forum-index]

If you’re using custom menus – add the page to your menus

Then go to dashboard>plugins>add new and load in BBpress WP Tweaks

Then go to dashboard>appearance>widgets and you’ll see a bbpress sidebar

Load in items such as

bbpress login widget
bbpress forums list
bbppress topics list

Then view the site

You should have a forums page something like

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

with a forum specific sidebar

with normal sidebars appearing on other pages

Welcome

If you need help in adding any of the other items in my forum sidebar, just let me know

Jesusismygrace,

I am NOT a programmer, just an avid WordPress user. The last theme that I used was the popular Customizr that is still based upon Bootstrap 2. I couldn’t get bbPress to work with it properly.

I switched to Ward Pro https://themes.bavotasan.com/2013/ward-pro/ because it is based upon Bootstrap 3, and thought I would have better luck. Not necessarily so.

I am still thinking (but not sure) that bbPress has to be displayed as Pages in a WordPress theme. If that is done, then some themes will allow the user to add sidebars to display sign-in features for visitors. What I don’t get is that bbPress opens a window for each forum, but the WordPress Admin window doesn’t show it as a Page that can be edited ?!

I don’t quite get it, but I’m not a programmer…just a user.

Hi Jhon james.. I just followed your video tutor bbpress on youtube, maybe I have missing html if possible check my setting plss http://new3dline.com/forums/ how resolve the code?
Thk you

[manuxel]

@remcob00 You’re right, it does look better.

[Holly]

Was sent here from MySiteMyWay (my theme) so see if you could tell me how to change the path in the plugin referenced in the quote below:

If you use these templates, http://mysitemyway.com/docs/index.php/BbPress, then you can add CSS within them to hide that.

<style type = “text/css”>#intro { display: none !important; }</style>

Okay, I actually tried those, but removed them.

The issue with them is that I cannot use /forum/ as my forum root. Doing so throws my students out to the public main page. I have to have my forum root as /classrooms/htts-boot-camp-forum/ to allow them to get back to class from the forum pages.

So is there code I can use in the plugin to allow me to use that forum root?

If I can change my forum root within the plugins linked above to /classrooms/htts-boot-camp-forum/ (and get BOTH of those elements of the path to show within bbPress) I’ll be able to remove the doubled headers from all of my bbPress pages.

Hoping there’s a string I can insert within the plugin to make this work.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi guys, 😀

Thanks for all the incredible work you do on BBPress!

I’m using WordPress 3.6.1, BuddyPress 1.8.1 and BBPress 2.4.1

The page titles for wordpress and buddypress have been fixed.

However, BBPress has completely stopped interacting with Buddypress. By this I mean no new topics, posts, mentions or any action made by my members in BBPress are showing in their profile activity or in the ‘Notifications’ section of the WP admin bar.

I’ve also added this code to a base ‘Forum’ page:

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/content', 'archive-topic' ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/form', 'topic' ); ?>

And in the topic section the ‘Forum’ select field has ‘No forum’ as the default selection. Rather than taking the first forum as the default as in BBPress 2.3.2.

Thanks!

@manuxel
For the smileys I think that it is a better idea to replace ::) with 🙄 (: roll :).

[martinbrunnberg]

Thanks a lot for reply!

Unfortunatly I cannot find the settings that you are refering to. Below settings, bbpress the possibilities look like this:

“Allow users to mark topics as favorites
Fancy Editor Use the fancy WordPress editor to create and edit topics and replies
Embed media (YouTube, Twitter, Flickr, etc…) directly into topics and replies.”

There are nothing that looks even close to what you are refering to. Where can I find them? I’m running bbpress Version 2.1.

I did run the repair tool but with no look. There is no botton available to create a new thread. Must be something simple I’m missing here.

Very thankful for any input.

Regards
Martin

@stephen, thanks for your comment! I have solved the problem! I have doenlaod the translations .po and .mo from the /dev branch and upload those 2 files to wp-content/bbpress/languages/ and rename the files to bbpress-nl_NL.po & bbpress-nl_NL.mo

[Keryn]

Still didn’t work for me, and I’ve had trouble with bbpress on other sites, so I’ve ditched it and gone with:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/forum-server/

[Robin W]

Can’t see anything wrong with your code is_bbpress()works on my conditional statements

[Robin W]

BBpress comes with roles that you can set for each user, just go into dashboard>users and set them up – they’re at the bottom of the page

see this article

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

[AntonyC]

Hi, I’m also having the exact same problem and I’m wondering why this hasn’t been addressed yet? It wouldn’t have been an issue for me but BuddyPress now insists that you use bbpress for the forums.

PLEASE help someone!
