btw. did anyone else notice that the latest bbpress killed the display of the date of the latest post/reply?

Its simply not showing anymore even though I checked the box in the widget settings.

Sorry…

WP 3.6
bbPress 2.4
Theme “Optimize Press”
URL –> Behind a paywall (membership site), so posting it won’t help…

[leanderbraunschweig]

Hi there!

Just yesterday I went ahead and updated our bbPress to 2.4 and missed out on validating the search functionality – which actually broke!

Right now I get a 404 when using the search functionality. It somehow cannot handle the new pretty URLs introduced with 2.4.

Instead of
http://bbpress.org/forums/search/my-query/

I get
http://mydomain.info/searchmy-query

I already tried:

– Disabling affiliated bbPress-plugins (got one German string replacement active)
– Saving the Permalinks again
– Checking .htaccess for any possible Rewrite-Rules which might conflict

None of those worked.

Any hints on how to tackle the error? It obviously was introduced with 2.4 and I couldn’t even say where to look first after checking up upon the obvious…

I got a bbpress.php in place at /wp-content/themes/my-theme/ in order to wrap bbPress in style but even there I double checked the code and essentially there is nothing possibly conflicting (at least from what I see).

Looking forward to you guys helping out.
Thanks & Regards!

Ok, here is what fixed it. You mentioned the keymaster role, but the admin was already the keymaster. I changed their role to moderator and presto. They can now manage the plugin. I changed it back to keymaster and everything is still good. This worked before the upgrade to bbpress 2.4… Something must have gone weird during the upgrade.

[Michael Eisenwasser]

Cool. I was guessing it may have been a PHP version.

[fskrdla]

Solved. I noticed issues with other plugins and I had to deactivate several and then reactivate, etc. to get some of them to activate. So I realized that it was something beyond bbPress and BuddyPress.

I think it was due to my php settings with my host. I changed it using PHP Config in my cpanel to the current version, and everything works fine. It was set to PHP 5.2 (Single php.ini), and changing to PHP 5.4 (Single php.ini) has fixed the problem.

Feel free to delete this topic. I can’t find the option to delete.

Thank you!

You’d have to edit the standard bbPress loop to put preference in an upvoted/marked answer above the rest. Seeing how it’s a custom post type it’s quite easy to do.

[Xevo]

bbPress 1.x is no longer supported. I suggest removing that forum and adding the bbPress 2.x plugin to your website.

[Xevo]

You can remove the box in a custom bbpress theme. However your users wont see it, so it doesn’t really matter.

Anyway, did you guys update to 2.4 yet?

[Stephen Edgar]

I’d highly suggest you take a look at some of these CSV importers that support ‘Custom Post Types’, I have had a quick look at a couple of them the other day and I am quite sure they will work fine to import into bbPress.

It is just a matter of finding the one that suits you and your CSV data.

[Michael Eisenwasser]

I would suggest posting the exact error message here. It will help people to figure out what the issue is.

Hi,

I’m new to bbpress, and am in the process of moving my old small forum (85 posts) to bbpress.

My old forum was developed 3 years ago by a custom web developer who is no longer doing any web work.

I’ve manually copied over the 85 posts but I need to change the author and date to match the original author and date.

I did a search on bbpress.org and found a link to an old plugin “edit-post-attributes” located here:

Legacy Plugins (bbPress 0.9 – 1.1)

Is it safe to use this really old plugin? Is there a newer plugin that will do the trick?

Do I need a plugin at all? Is there a way to make these changes from the dashboard somewhere?

thanks,
Kanwal

Last update was 7 months ago, so no.

[akgt]

Has this been updated for 2.3 or 2.4??

[barrybgelston]

Has anyone added a dropdown box to modify the topic title.

On my site: http://www.kidzlaunch.com/ ‘‘

WP version 3.6, and bbpress plugin 2.4

I want to have different types of topics within each forum. For example, I would like to have a topic title start with [Lesson] or [Question].

For example
[Question] How to add a topic title prefix

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Barry

You can just use the wordpress function in the widget.

current_user_can

[sciman@cpp.edu]

I would sure support this. I’m a newbie to WP and would like to use bbPress, but have a lot of old hypercard forum posts I’ve reduced to a Filemaker database. I have about 7 named forums, have authors and their post in date order. None need to be linked as replies. There’s tremendously valuable information on family histories in this archive that I’d dearly like to remain available for those interested. If I could get these posts to a forum, that would be extremely helpful.

Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). […] in /XXX/XXX/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3012

Can you help us?

I can’t find this solution anywere… 🙁

[joejozwowski]

I am modifying a site to enable this simple snippet of code to the bbPress login Widget. Once a user is logged in, I would like to check the user’s role (WordPress Role: admin, editor, author) and allow only those three access to the site’s dashboard by simply displaying the link there. I do not know how to translate the bbPress roles to the WordPress roles.

Any insight would be most appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hi all,

here is a problem that one of my members ran into whilst testing out the different tags available in the text editor. As he was unfamiliar with html tags he didn’t realise that a list tag would need to be nested within a ul/ol. Anyway, the problem occurs whenever someone posts a reply which contains an unnested list item (<li>list item</li>). Once the post is published the list tag is rendered underneath the unordered list class=”forums bbp-replies”. This causes styling issues for anything being displayed underneath the post.

I thought this may of just been my forum, but i briefly tested it on this forum and it also causes styling issues.

You can find a screenshot comparison of how my forum looks normally and how it looks with the tag breaking the style.

Comparison screenshot

The image doesn’t show the severity of the issue, but you can see how a simple tag that any user can post can effect styles which are outside of the text editor.

I tried searching but couldn’t find anyone else reporting a similar issue. Has anyone else run into this before? are the bbpress developers aware?

[Nizam]

Thanks God..

Wishing something like this for years. Done search, but it was 6 years ago solution and not relevant anymore.

I even try myself but yet it’s too hard for me.
Owning a big forum of 8K user, 14K topics, 400K posts. SMF wasn’t suit me anymore since I used WordPress (my mainpage is wordpress, forum SMF). I’m intend to do something like WordPress + BBpress + Buddypress 😀

Im looking forward for this. 🙂

Go to bbpress.css and find:

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-author img.avatar, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author img.avatar, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author img.avatar {
border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
}

Hi, I’ve just set up a new website to creat a private forum for a small group. I’m using at as a stand alone site, separate from my WordPress blog. I installed bbPress via Softaculous, and the version it’s given me is 1.2.

My main concern is that there’s NO option to set forums as visible to members only, as shown in the documentation. I really need that.

Will upgrading to a newer version fix that? I’m not sure how to manage the upgrade.

Sorry to sound like a complete moron!

[koendb]

I’m using the plugin bbPress Topics for Posts to be able to display all comments on a forum as well. I want anonymous users to be able to post comments on all my WordPress posts, but want them to register in order to reply to (other) forums.

Would this be possible? Any other solution? Thanks!
