ok update to the previous

If you’re using a child theme, or one of your own, you can add this to your css

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {
	display: list-item !important;
	font-size: 11px;
	}

and then bbpress updates will not overwrite

[Robin W]

If you want forums as a list, then you need to change the following

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css

Line 120-122

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {
	display: inline;
	font-size: 11px;

change to

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {
	display: list-item;
	font-size: 11px;

This’ll then produce the vertical list

Now I expect to be told off for directly editing a plugin file, and if someone else knows how to get it to do the same with a themes functions.php or style.css, then I’d love to see how to do it.

You will need to make a note of this, as every bbpress plugin update will rub it out

Hello !

We recently migrated our forums to BBpress at http://fablab-lannion.org . I understand that before that, bbpress and buddypress forums were totally separated, and that buddypress forums came obsolete.
I achieved making all the group forums accessible through http://fablab-lannion.org/forums/ but AFAIK they all remain group forums. It is ok for forums that are linked to private groups, but I’d like the “Usagers” (means “users”) forum topics to be displayed at the root, if possible organized by categories, and keep an access to private forums. Does it seem feasible to you?

Thanks,
Yann

You have to rename the documentname also, it has to be bbpress-nl_NL.mo
What language is set in your WordPress installation (your dashboard, is is in english or dutch?)

If it is dutch it should work immidiatly, otherwise you have to make a small change in your wp-config file.

Change this line in wp congif:

define ('WPLANG', '');

to:

define (‘WPLANG’, ‘nl_NL’);

I’ve read a lot of forums posts in bbPress and found them and the support from the community to be great.

When i try to install bbPress it always gives this error

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /home/examplename/public_html/forum/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/users/template.php on line 1220

Hi people-
I am clueless on php and css, and frankly don’t even know if it’s a bbPress-theme conflict that is causing my problem. In other words, I don’t know who to ask for help – a WP expert or a php expert. Any direction or guidance would be DEEPLY appreciated.

I’m running bbPress in the OptimizePress theme (all versions the most current, including WP), and the forum homepage won’t show the parent and child forums as a list.

It looks like this:
http://thrivingdiabetics.com/forum-2/

and I was really hoping it would look like every other forum on Earth, where all forums (parent and child) are listed in a vertical column. Right now you can only see 3 of 20 forums on that landing page.

Any insight, direction, guidance, total solutions, encouragements to give up would be appreciated. I was hoping to launch my site this week but am stuck here. I know I can re-structure the forums so there are no parent/child relationships but I can’t believe there isn’t some simple issue/fix here.

Thanks in advance!
With gratitude,
Matthew

@Maartje_1992, how did you use the 2.3.x translation for 2.4.1? I am also a dutch guy and i want my bbpress 2.4.1 in the Dutch langage. I have uploaded the .po file to wp-content/languages/bbpress. I have renamed the extension .po to .mo, but is doens’t working.

[DeysonOrtiz]

Hello and good day!

It seems I keep getting a missing css file when I do a speed check, this file is missing: wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/bbp-twentyten/css/bbpress.css?ver=2.4.1

This is my website that gets the above error, but the forum is working fine: http://motion-master-templates.com

Thank you for the time and please let me know what I can do to fix this. 🙂

[Nick Ottens]

Host says they can’t rise timeout or memory limit. I’d rather not have to do this locally, I’ve never done anything like that and I frankly don’t want to spend the time learning and trying… I’ll give the importer another go later today, see if I get a better result.

[martinbrunnberg]

Hi!

I’m a new bee at this and I recently installed bbpress, but where can I enable “create new thread/topic” for my forum participants? Seem Iäm missing something very fundamental here.

As it is now I can only create new threads when I’m logged in as admin.

Would be very thankful for a hint in this matter.

[maniu]

Hello

It took me some time but i finally have figured out that dynamic roles that are getting assigned to users when “Auto Role” is disabled are being unset before bp_forum_enforce_blocked is triggered.
This results in 404 for users.

add_action( 'template_redirect', 'bbp_set_current_user_default_role', 7 ); managed to fix it for me but i am not sure what is un-setting dynamically assigned roles and if my fix does not have any down-site.

Hope my input helps.
Ticket created(http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2452#ticket) please delete if forum topic unnecessary.

Thanks,
Maniu

Hi,

I would like to report a bug.

In a multisite environment, the widgets for BBPress are only shown to super-admins in the widget area. Subsite-administrators are unable to see the widgets.

Kinds regards,
Sven

[Stephen Edgar]

This what we have in the converter.php file:

		if ( ! ini_get( 'safe_mode' ) ) {
			set_time_limit( 0 );
			ini_set( 'memory_limit',   '256M' );
			ini_set( 'implicit_flush', '1'    );
			ignore_user_abort( true );
		}

Send that to them and ask in particular the first two, timeout & memory limit.

You can download something like this http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
(There are heaps of these depending on Mac, PC or Linux https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_stack)

They pretty much work out of the box and you just install WordPress locally, export your punBB database to import locally etc.

[Stephen Edgar]

Your other two topics there are ‘super sticky’ and they will show in every forum list, change those to ‘sticky’ and they will only be stuck in their own forum.

https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/#adding-a-topic

You can add tags for organizing your Topics, and you can make the post Sticky or Super Sticky.

• Sticky posts will stick to top of the Forum which it is in.
• Super Sticky posts will stick to the top of all Forums.

[Nick Ottens]

I tried stopping and starting again. Most of the time that did the trick. Not this time, it seemed.

Can you tell me exactly what I should ask my webhost to raise? I wouldn’t know how to do a conversion locally, so I’m really hoping this’ll work.

For now, I removed the imported users manually.

Thanks again for you help, Stephen!

[Stephen Edgar]

For now I would suggest adding sub pages as others have already done:

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/
https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/german-deutsch-de/
https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/persian-%d9%be%d8%a7%d8%b1%d8%b3%db%8c-fa_ir/

Anyone can edit the codex so go for it….

[Stephen Edgar]

I cannot reproduce this WordPress editors can see the dashboard fine with these roles assigned:

• WordPress Role: Editor
• bbPress Role: Participant

Also the error text you have above has nothing to do with this, you only get this error if you run the repair tool ‘Repair BuddyPress Group Forum relationships’ and you do not have BuddyPress installed.

[Stephen Edgar]

There is no answer here yet, but presumable in time there will be

Support Forum

[Rush404]

Hey,
On my bbpress forum pages I have a “Post” button which leads to a form, on this form I do not want the Forum drop box, Instead I want it to say the forum the button was clicked on e.g If the page they clicked the button was called Discussion it say “Forum: Discussion”.

I have a var call ‘id’ which is carried via the url e.g “www.website.com/add-topic?id=Discussion” and is collected on the form page using the $_GET method.

Now I can echo that using php. but I can seem to link it to the form.
I know the drop box uses bbp_get_form_topic_forum()… but is there away of setting it?
Like bbp_set_form_topic_forum = $id?

Anything would be great help!

[Stephen Edgar]

Could the database port have any effect?

Yes, make sure that is also correct, the default is 3306 but your web host may use a different port.

You could also check what your SMF config is by checking the database values in eg. /public_html/smf/Settings.php

eg.

########## Database Info ##########
$db_type = 'mysql';
$db_server = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'smf_database_name';
$db_user = 'mysql_user_name';
$db_passwd = 'mysecretpassword';
$ssi_db_user = '';
$ssi_db_passwd = '';
$db_prefix = 'smf_';
$db_persist = 0;
$db_error_send = 1;

[Darcy Peal]

Thanks for the info JJJ it is greatly appreciated!

[Stephen Edgar]

Did you try the Stop wait a few seconds and Start thing again?

It seems to work now when I set the number of rows very low (10) and give it plenty of delay (5 seconds).

Now the conversion process seems to have stopped when there’s about eight thousand Replies left to convert… I don’t see the spinning thing anymore indicating progress, but get the same time limit warning.

I suspect both these are related to your web host is limiting us trying to bump the memory and timeouts it might be a good idea to contact your web host to see if they can at least ‘temporarily’ bump these for you until you have got your forum imported.

Another option is to setup a local WAMP/MAMP/XAMMP install and try it locally on your PC.

Resetting the forums does not remove all the imported users, by the way. Is that a problem?

I’ll take a look at why this isn’t working as it should.

Should I select “Start a fresh conversion from the beginning” or “Purge all information from a previously attempted import” or both?

The ‘Start a fresh converesion’ will force the bbPress import to start from the beginning rather than resume from where it left off if it didn’t finish the import last time.

Also, as mentioned, posts/Replies are all assigned to me, instead of the users who made them.

Until the import is finished and the repair tools are run to ‘recount’ everything this can be the case until all the ‘metadata’ is sync’d up.

[Stephen Edgar]

I suggest you update WordPress to 3.6.1 and bbPress 2.4.1 first and you would need to find out from the UAM plugin author if it supports the ‘Dynamic Roles’ for users that is implemented in bbPress.

[John James Jacoby]

Not exactly a bbPress problem; it’s a warning put in place to alert you that some other plugin is trying to load the current user’s information before WordPress has fully initialized (something bbPress, or any other plugin) cannot plan for or play nicely with.

You’ll want to look through your logs, research what plugin is triggering this notice in what circumstance, and reach out to the author.
