I’m also very interested in Infinite Scroll of bbPress. This’d be a real killer feature! Have a look at an example Discourse post to see a good implementation of Infinite Scroll in a forum platform.

Hello,

After updating to the new bbPress I got errors on the profile page:
– Topics Started
– Replies Created
– Favorites

Can someone tell me if that’s an update error ?

[gplana]

Thank you for your answer. I tryied what you suggested but same result.
Maybe is due to an incompatibility with my theme?

My main forum customized page have this to show all topics:

	<?php if ( bbp_has_topics($args) ) : ?>
		<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>
		<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/loop',       'topics'    ); ?>
		<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>
	<?php else : ?>
		<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/feedback',   'no-topics' ); ?>
	<?php endif; ?>

I make a print_r($args) and it has an empty array. I also tryied to remove $args argument from bbp_has_topics but same result (no topics message displayed).
Maybe in bbPress 2.4 bbp_has_topics() is not the right function to start a loop?

I can see forum topics from wp-admin, so I’m sure topics are there.

Thank you.

Hello, I have been looking for a solution all day, and cannot find someone with a similar problem.

WordPress 3.6
bbPress 2.4
BuddyPress 1.8.1
Genesis 2.0.1

I can have either BuddyPress activated or bbPress, but not both. When one is activated and I activate the other, I get a server error. It doesn’t not matter which one I activate first, or which one I deactivate. My site front end still works, but in the back end I just get a server error and cannot access the admin dashboard without renaming or deleting one of the plugins through my host’s cpanel.

I have tested with basic WP themes. I get the same error using both Twenty Twelve and Twenty Thirteen, basic Genesis framework theme, and my child theme.

Thank you for any help you can offer.

[julienborne]

Still no one to give me a advise ?

;'(

I guess i’ll will have to try another solution than bbpress

[svcslzysh]

I’m missing some files and have no idea why?

Warning: require(/var/www/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/template-tags.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbpress.php on line 306 Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required ‘/var/www/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/template-tags.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear’) in /var/www/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbpress.php on line 306

I’ve deleted and re-installed but no luck. I’ll keep poking around but if anyone knows what’s up that would be good.

I hadn’t really thought about importing from CSV, until now.

The importer included with bbPress is setup to only import from a MySQL database.

We could create a guide to create a simple to database that you could import your CSV into and then bbPress import from that.

Otherwise using the built in importer within WordPress (wp-admin -> tools -> import /wp-admin/import.php) there are some https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=CSV+importer CSV importers that might do the job. You could modify one of these to import the data instead of WordPress post type ‘post’ you would want your topics to use the ‘topic’ post type for bbPress (Forums are ‘forum’ and Replies are ‘reply’)

Either of the ways above should be rather straight forward and I might take a look at few of those importers and fork one specifically for importing from CSV to bbPress in the future.

[Stephen Edgar]

I have just updated my Kunena v3.x importer and added v2.x and 1.x importers 🙂

[highexistence]

Is there something that needs to be added to make this new feature work? There is no nesting of replies, nor new added classes to replies that are in response to other replies. My theme is a heavily customized version of the default theme from bbPress 2.0.

@netweb said:

definitely private group forum posts should not be showing up when using [bbp-topic-index].

So I am trying to wrap my head around how this topic index shortcode should work. Is it intended to only display public forums? Or should it display forums the user has permissions to see?

If the latter, is that determined by the forum visibility, the buddypress group privacy status, or both?

Here is what I am experiencing with bbp 2.4, BP 1.8.1, and WP 3.6:

If the visibility of a group forum is changed (at the forum level) from published to private then a user with the forum role of participant can see the private forums in the topic index as well as on the forum root page. These are visible even if the user isn’t a member of that BP group.

But if I use the repair tool to “recalculate private and hidden forums”, that same user can no longer see them in the topic index (again, regardless of if the user is a group member or not), but can still view them on the forum root page.

Is this what should be happening?

Or perhaps is this related to this defect?

My ultimate goal is to have a user role that can view private topics and another role that can not. Can this be accomplished using that topic-index shortcode, or do I need to find another solution?

Thanks for all your efforts!

[jgasparine]

Ok- I feel a bit like an a$$, but I finally realized that forum roles are not automatically assigned to a user account until after an email verification link is clicked or after a new user logs-in for the first time.

There is, indeed, no conflict between Register Plus Redux and bbPress 2.4.

I felt it was me due diligence to close the loop on this.

Hi Ive just updated and checked, when using buddypress and bbpress as group forums all pages still have the same titles from main groups, group, forum, to topic

[briantoronto]

Hello

On the site I am working on (not yet live) we are using BBpress Forums integrated with a Buddypress installation. Both the Buddypress Group and associated BBPress Forums are marked Hidden.

Users with Group Role as Member can properly see the Forums when viewing directly.

The issue comes to when we try to have users view the Forums via Short Code.

Only those with a Group Role of Moderator or higher can see the forum via Short Code.

WP is 3.6, bbPress 2.4, BuddyPress 1.8.1

Allowing others to create accounts for your forum.

I had problems with this (various instructions skipped steps or were vague), so once I worked it out I thought it might be helpful here.

Install BB press as per the instruction

Once you have activate the plugin on your WordPress Dashboard (Plugins > Installed pluggins > activate) you should get a welcome message. At the bottom of that screen is a link to follow to alter your basic forum settings (or if you have closed that screen: Settings > Forums from your dashboard). Set them as you like.

You will now have a new section of your Dashboard – Forums. Hover over Forums then select ‘add new’. Name your forum etc.

Now create 3 new website pages on your website. ‘Forums’, ‘New users’ and ‘Lost password’. On the New Users page copy the following text exactly [bbp-register]
On the lost password page put this text: [bbp-lost-pass]
Remember to update/upload the pages.

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).

The widget will pop open and ask for 2 urls. Put the URLs of your new New Users page in the Register box and the lost password page in Lost password box. Click save at the bottom of the widget box.

Go to http://www.’yourdomain.com/forums and you should see your new forum, with a login widget at the side. Click the register link and it should take you to a form other people can fill in to create a new account (you may be logged in to your forum already, so either log out, or try it on someone else’s computer. Just to check it works.

Hi Xevo, many thanks is correct…

Regards…

[Tecca]

Find this in your bbpress.css file:

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results

Within that, there will be font-size: 12px. Change the pixel number to a higher value.

The bbPress.css will be located in your bbPress folder in your plugins. If you don’t have the bbPress.css in your theme, copy that file and put it into a folder called “css” directly with of your theme files.

bbp_is_search()

[Xevo]

Haven’t tested it, but this should force all the content (or at least most of it) to take over your themes font-size.

#bbpress-forums { font-size: inherit !important; }
div.bbp-breadcrumb, div.bbp-topic-tags { font-size: inherit !important; }
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results { font-size: inherit !important; }
#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li { font-size: inherit !important; }

[FreeWPress]

Hi all, in wordpress we can use is_search to define if page is for search results, is possible to use one function like these in bbpress?

For example i want to not show siderbar in bbpress search, what function i can use?

if…?

Thanks for your time…

[Xevo]

Try removing bbpress and uploading 2.4 manually via ftp.

Make a database backup before removal though.

[SK]

Does anyone have experience running bbPress (WP plugin) on LiteSpeed? Could you share your experience?

Apache was too sluggish for us so we moved to nginx but we really do miss .htaccess

[gplana]

Hi.

I have a site with WordPress+bbPress 2.0

Today I tryied to upgrade bbPress from 2.0 to 2.4 and all our forum topics are not shown now.
I have a custom theme.

I’m not sure if I have done well this bbPress upgrade: I just deactivate current bbPress rename bbpress folder to _bbpress to maintain old version just in case, download new bbPress from site and upload and uncompress, so now both versions of bbPress appears on WordPress administrator: 2.0 deactivated and 2.4 activated.

I tryied to rename premalinks of forum and topics as I read this could fix this issue, but not on my case.

Any help?

Thank you.

[Stephen Edgar]

@csotelo Most excellent dude…. That said, I made one too 🙂

You can grab the latest revision from https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2402

The main differences are:

• Forums
• Updated code formatting and inline docs
• Uses kunena_categories.parent_id for Forum parent ID
• Imports Forums topic & reply counts
• Uses kunena_categories.alias for forum slug (seo)
• Includes Category/Forum forum type input & callback method
• Includes Open/Closed forum status & callback method
• Topics
• Ahmmm

Ok, I just stopped at ‘Topics’ as there are quite a few differences there, I based mine on Kunena v3.0.1 Forums, What version are you importing from?
(There are some significant changes here)

[Nykess]

Hmm, my theme was already responsive; it must somehow be interacting with the changes that were made. 🙁

[Stephen Edgar]

@nykess bbPress 2.4 included some updates to make it responsive as detailed here.
