Thanks devs for doing a great job.

@Jinobi: I agree with getting a full editor, or an alternative rich editor. 🙂

[Hansaplastique]

I’m running 2.4 and WP 3.6.1.
It seems that bbPress converts backticks to code tags …

Can anyone please explain to me how I can post code that has backticks in it?
I mean: the backticks are part of the actual code I’m trying to post in my forum? So they should NOT be converted.

[Travis S.]

My goal is to make multiple forums (around 10 when its all said and done). Each forum will be for different subjects but all related with each on a different page.

Per example… one forum will be on a specific fruit. So apple, oranges, etc. but would all fall under the umbrella Fruit (not my actual plans, but this was easier to explain).

Is this possible?

I’m currently running one bbpress install on the twenty-13 theme. I know there is a shortcode to show specific topics on a page, but I want each forum to show on just one page.

Note: ive been on wordpress.com for a little while and started over on the .org. So I’m completely knew to screwing around with php files. Not asking you to hold my hand through it all, but clear directions would be great. Sorry if this question is a repost and/or very basic and im just over thinking it.

Thanks in advance,

I came by this talk about o2 recently, (the successor of the P2 theme, but now made as a plugin):

Flick through the slides for a quick summary.

So as I was listening to the feature set of this plugin, every single one of them turned out to be on my bbPress wishlist:
Native infinite scroll, improved front-end editor, drag & drop image uploads, JSON API, post by e-mail, cross-site search. It seemed to me like the goals of o2 and bbPress are very much aligned.

I guess I’m just wondering if the bbPress developers have been in touch with Beau Lebens & co at all? And could you perhaps shed some light on why o2 isn’t just being made as an extension of bbPress?

I’m using this, and it works fine:

if ( !function_exists( 'ja_filter_bbpress_allowed_tags' ) ) {
function ja_filter_bbpress_allowed_tags() {
return array(
 
// Links
'a' => array(
'href' => array(),
'title' => array(),
'rel' => array()
),
 
// Quotes
'blockquote' => array(
'cite' => array()
),
 
// Code
'code' => array(),
'pre' => array(),
 
// Formatting
'em' => array(),
'strong' => array(),
'del' => array(
'datetime' => true,
),
'span' => array(
'lang' => array(),
'style' => array()
),
'p' => array(
'dir' => array(),
'style' => array()
),
'div' => array(
'class' => array()
),
// Lists
'ul' => array(),
'ol' => array(
'start' => true,
),
'li' => array(),
 
// Images
'img' => array(
'src' => true,
'border' => true,
'alt' => true,
'height' => true,
'width' => true,
)
);
}
}
add_filter( 'bbp_kses_allowed_tags', 'ja_filter_bbpress_allowed_tags' );

[SysFailure0x5a]

I figured out the “problem”. I’m not sure if it’s designed this way or if it’s a bug.

I had to network activate bbpress. If I don’t network activate it, individual sub blogs cannot activate it themselves, it won’t work. Network activated works perfectly fine.

This works exactly like this on a brand new fresh install of multisite too, so it’s not a 3rd party plug causing the problem.

My host have disabled set time limit.

So I’d a lot of error ”

I’ve try to comment this line ( with // before the ligne 306 ) and I’ve try to import forum again.

I’ve now the error ”

How to repair this ?

[fontadoni]

Hello,

I encountered major problems after running the “Repair Forums” tools on my site newdirt.org/forums. It seems like all forums, topics and replies have lost their “parent relationship” and my forum looks empty. This is not a new forum installation, I have hundreds of posts. It looks the same from the admin panel, I can see forum names but they have 0 posts in them. I can see topic titles but they look empty. Replies have “No Topic” and “No Forum” assigned to them, but the content is there. The funny thing is that if you go directly to each topic link, you can see each topic with their replies (for example as accessing “Latest Forum Topics” from the sidebar: Topic From Sidebar.

Things that I did previous to this problem: upgraded wordpress to 3.6.1 and then ran Tools -> Forums -> Repair Forums.

PLEASE HELP!

Wordpress Version: 3.6.1
bbPress Version: 2.4

[Kaliceos]

Don’t worry, it happened to me once, that’s how I discovered the existence of this menu ^^

For the function, have you tried what I said a few posts before :

Otherwise, you can edit (or create from /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/) your theme’s /bbpress/loop-single-forum.php and edit the bbp_list_forums() line 30 to bbp_list_forums(array (‘separator’ => ‘<br />’)). That should do the trick.

That may work as it doesn’t require the use of bbp_parse_args() which seems to be the problem in your case.

[jbuesking]

When I run the script with the convert users option checked it throws the following error:

WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'users.userid' in 'field list']
SELECT convert(users.userid USING "utf8") AS userid,convert(users.password USING "utf8") AS password,convert(users.username USING "utf8") AS username,convert(users.email USING "utf8") AS email,convert(users.registerDate USING "utf8") AS registerDate FROM tvc4d_users AS users LIMIT 0, 100

It appears to work if I don’t try to convert the users. I’ll dig into this later this evening but wanted to see if it’s something obvious?

[Erlend]

We’re using bbPress and BuddyPress to power the jMonkeyEngine community site:
http://hub.jmonkeyengine.org/

Using the excellent Firmasite as our parent theme, our child theme is a modified version of the ACME Dashboard. It is indeed marketed as an admin theme, but we found it to be nicely suited for a clean discussion-centric layout.

We’re not taking great advantage of BuddyPress at the moment, in great part due to a pending bbPress/BuddyPress bug that makes it difficult for us to repurpose our groups. In the future we want to use vanilla groups for task-centric “workgroups”, and we’ve long been entertaining the idea of making a customized version of groups to create a plugin front-end for our SDK.

bbPress on the other hand is constantly being pushed to its limits, and we’re very happy with it. We’re using the Support Topic plugin to great effect, along with our custom made Quotes plugin, among many others.

Huge thanks to the developers and contributors of bbPress and BuddyPress for making two outstanding pieces of free software.

p.s. If any budding WordPress developers out there would like an opportunity to get some experience contributing to an open source project, you’re very welcome to get in touch.

[PureLoneWolf]

See…now I feel like a complete moron. No, I had not checked the “Screen Options” option…although, in my defense, I have never adjusted that on the working site either…

So that’s the menu issue sorted now…/facepalm. I always say to check the simple stuff first, I should probably listen to myself from time to time.

What is confusing me about the functions.php mod..is that, to test, I have actually taken a copy of the working theme from the working site..and it still fails. It actually fails on every theme I give it. It literally happened when I upgraded to 2.4. I had the main site open in another tab, updated the bbpress plugin, switched to the other tab and hit refresh…where it immediately went to what it is now.

I thought it might be plugin related, so I deactivated any differences between the sites, and still nothing.

Is there another way to get this change, other than in the themes functions.php?

[Kaliceos]

I’m running latest releases of WordPress and bbPress, and I don’t have any problems neither with the custom function (placed in my theme’s functions.php) nor with the menus.
Edit after your edit : I also have buddyPress installed

What theme are you using ? The bbp_list_forums may be used in a different way in the theme where it doesn’t work.

For the menus, I don’t know what could cause this issue, have you tried with an other theme ?

If you want to rebuild your site, take a look at the Tools > Export and Tools > Import in your dahsboard, you’ll be able to transfer your forums, topics and posts.
For users, it looks like the plugin AEIOU can do that. Otherwise, transferring the mysql tables (wp_users, wp_usermeta and if you use buddyPress wp_bp_xprofile_*) should work too.
I guess you have to import users before forums, posts, and topics if you want to keep the author relation.

[PureLoneWolf]

Ok. I have now done the following:

Copied the entire bbPress (plus bbPress plugins) folder from the working site.
Copied the working theme from the working site.

Deactivated deleted bbPress (plus bbPress plugins) from the non-working site
Uploaded bbPress and plugins to the non-working site.
Uploaded theme
Activated all on the non-working site

This didn’t work. Forums remain stubbornly on one line and the Forums option doesn’t appear in the WP menu editor.

On top of that, I then deactivated and deleted bbPress..then re-installed through the WP Add New Plugin interface.

This also didn’t work. No change whatsoever. I am going to have to build a test site and re-build the site I think.

What would be the easiest way to get the forums/posts/users etc brought over?

Many thanks

**EDIT**
This just gets weirder and weirder. I just created a blank, brand new installation of wordpress. Installed buddypress, then bbpress. Went to Appearance/Menus and Forums does not show up.

[PureLoneWolf]

I’ll take a look, but I should point out that this issue is occurring with all themes, including the default BP theme. I am starting to think that something has gone screwy with bbPress, especially as I am unable to add any forums to the menu (the Forums page is no problem)

I am going to download the theme that is working, and the bbpress plugin from the working site and upload over the top and see if that makes a difference.

Cheers

[FreeWPress]

How to show? @username like this forum? in bbpress 2.4 i can’t find anythings to do this!! Have some idea?

[jnarain]

Hi,

I realize that the old workarounds (Code, Plugins etc.) for enabling the TinyMCE Full editor does not work anymore.

The newly added Post Formatting/ Add toolbar & buttons to textareas to help with HTML formatting option, does not enable the editor with full range of buttons and capabilities.

Any solution to bring the editor in full?

Regards,

Jinobi

[JV44HeinzBar]

Hi @purplep,
Thanks for typing out these instructions. I’ve done everything that you instructed for my webpage, . Unfortunately, the registration doesn’t appear to be working. The page that opens up when clicking “register” is the login page.

I followed your instructions exactly with the exception of : “Now go to Appearance > Widgets. Drag and drop the ‘BBloggin Widget’ into your side bar (on the left. Make sure you have the side bar activation in Appearance > Customize > Layout)” My widgets are on the right side.

Please check out my website and tell me what you think.

Sincerely,
Heinz

[RitaJoC]

I keep receiving the above-referenced error. I’m using wordpress 3.6 and 2.4 bbpress. I don’t have a multisite network setup. Help! Thank you.

3. some users are twice now (like myself..who have been admins of wordpress and users of the forum). Can I simply merge them with
UPDATE wp_posts SET post_author = ’1′ WHERE post_author = ’2′; and it will count for the forum, too?

If a user already exists in WordPress during the import a new user will be created called ‘Imported_Username’, you can go to wp-admins user panel and when you select ‘Delete User’ you will be prompted to delete all posts or attribute them to another user, select the later and all the topics/replies etc will be attributed to the user you selected.

4. the passwords – in WBB they are hashed by this:
$passwort = sha1($row->salt.sha1($row->salt.sha1($_POST[‘passwort’])));
so what do I write at the end of wbb3.php
public function authenticate_pass( $password, $serialized_pass ) {
$pass_array = unserialize( $serialized_pass );
return ( $pass_array[‘hash’] == md5( md5( $password ). $pass_array[‘salt’] ) );
}
or is this impossible and the users have to get the new password by mail?

I am going to look at passwords next week for all the importers as my skills with PHP are only just beginning so this is all a bit tricky for me at the moment. 😉

So the best workaround is to have the users reset their password by email for now.

5. the imported users have no “Forum Role”. Is is “normal”? Is there any chance to automatically give them the forum role “Participant”?

Go to bbPress tools and run the repair tool ‘Remap existing users to default forum roles’ and that will do the trick. https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/

6. do I have to keep the wbb3.php “forever” because of the passwords or can I delete it one day, even if not all members have com back yet?

If the passwords are not being converted you do not need to keep it, though I don’t see any issues why you would need to delete it.

Speaking of keeping it, can we include your WBB v3 Importer and distribute it with bbPress?

7. until now we have everything like private messages, profiles, friends and especially user groups (Moderators, crew members) with hidden forums. Do I see correct, that I can install both, import bbpress and afterwards attach for example our “Mods Only” to the group “Moderators” as group forum?

Currently bbPress only has: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/#creating-your-first-forum

Visibility: decide whether your forum is public, private or hidden.
Public – Anyone can see these forums
Private – Only logged in registered users can see these forums
Hidden: Only Moderators/Admins can see these forums

I see that every user gets a new User ID – old IDs are saved in table _bbp_converter_translator – will that table be kept? Maybe by this I have a chance to later import – somehow – private messages for buddy press!?

The translator table is not kept and the old user ID is stored in wp_usermeta as per this item in the ‘Example.php’ importer.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/includes/admin/converters/Example.php#L458

                // Store old User id (Stored in usermeta)
459	                $this->field_map[] = array(
460	                        'from_tablename'  => 'users_table',
461	                        'from_fieldname'  => 'the_users_id',
462	                        'to_type'         => 'user',
463	                        'to_fieldname'    => '_bbp_user_id'
464	                );

I’ll take closer look at the importer and structure you linked to over the weekend and post back with anything else I can think of.

[Stephen Edgar]

As far as I know there are no issues importing from phpBB v3.0.11

This doc has any known issues when using the phpBB importer:
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/phpbb/

Did your import fail at one point and you started the import again which would have caused duplicates?

To debug the issue further I would need some detailed information, particularly some SQL examples would be helpful.

If you still have issues after resting your forums and this constantly happpens please create a ticket on Trac https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ with some detailed steps to reproduce the issue and I will take a look.

[SysFailure0x5a]

Nevermind, I found bbpress 2.3.2 stable here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/2.3?rev=4891

Thanks.

For google searches:

Download BBpress 2.3.2
Downgrade to BBPress 2.3.2

[SysFailure0x5a]

@Xevo

Go to https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/2.3 and press “Zip Archive” at the bottom.

That appears to be 2.3.3-ALPHA. I need the latest stable of 2.3, which I thought was 2.3.2?

[Stephen Edgar]

Joe,

Thanks for looking at this I uploaded a new version with the fix above for the ‘to_type’ you mentioned above.

I have not started with the passwords as of yet, this is next weeks job to look at all the importers passwords sections and begin writing custom callbacks for all of them. With my limited PHP skills this is going to be a challenge indeed. I will be calling heavily on the code found in the phpBB importer to base the code on and then changing any calculating/algorithms as needed.

If you beat me to it, I could live with that 😉

[Kaliceos]

I’m not good enough in PHP and wordpress filters to help you, but you should check the diff between 2.3 and 2.4 for the /includes/common/functions.php around line 1158. Some changes were made to the bbp_parse_args function.

Otherwise, you can edit (or create) your theme’s bbpress/loop-single-forum.php and edit the bbp_list_forums() line 30 to bbp_list_forums(array (‘separator’ => ‘<br />’)). That should do the trick.
