Good job guys, keep up the great work 🙂

I’m getting the same message – “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page” – when I click on Settings in the plugin.

Also the Forums button does not show up in the left-side menu of my WP admin panel. Yet I have 7 bbPress widgets.

I’ve deactivated and reactivated the plugin. When I first clicked “activate” I got the “You do not have sufficient permissions…” message. I clicked activate a second time, and the plugin showed as activated. But still no Forum button.

This bbPress.org site says easy instructions are provided, but my installation has no instructions. I was expecting to paste a shortcode to the forum on a blank page. I can’t imaging putting all 7 bbPress widgets in a sidebar.

I do not have the Page.ly plugin the previous poster said affected his/her bbPress. I do have a time.ly plug in (calendar) which I need. Why would plugins interfere with each other?

I need help with this because no other forum plugin is showing as tested with my version of WP which I believe is WP3.6, although I’m not able to find the version number anywhere on my dashboard.

Hi, I just started with a new website so all lastest versions, WP, Buddypress, BBpress.
Buddypress theme Klein, created in August 2013.

Key factor is prioritizing, rating, like topics.

looking for a BBpress and Group forums plugin I cannot find a plugin. (installed -buddypress rate forum post- but I do not see a button in the posts.)

Do you have a suggestion? Have a nice day, Anne

I am using bbPress Version 2.4 and whenever I try to create a new forum I get a message saying ‘ “cheatin huh”. I’ve been bbPress for a year or so and this was happening with the previous version 2.3 of bbPress too. Does anyone have idea how I can fix this?

[akasocrates]

Hi there —

I’ve searched the forums and think I’ve tried all suggested solutions.

I have this forum and it works fine: http://realworldsupplychain.com/forums/discussion/certified-supply-chain-professional/

But then when I go to the “forums” slug, I get an error page like this: http://realworldsupplychain.com/forums/

I tried different permutations. I tried creating a /forums Page and entered the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode. That didn’t work too. I’ve tried deleting/reinstalling bbPress, still no joy.

I don’t have any existing pages with /forums off my domain.

Any help would by much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Is there a temporary fix for the latest topics/replies widgets so that they once again show avatars/users/dates? Not having them is awful. Having to wait for another patch isn’t ideal.

[norrismp]

@fakeologist – it was linked above. If you are asking these questions, though, just wait until the patch comes out next week and keep running the old version of bbpress. It probably won’t mess anything up but there is only one way to know for sure…

I have added two plugins for various functions and uploading pictures is among them. You can limit the file size as well as the number of images that can be uploded. Try:

GD bbPress Tools
GD bbPress Attachments

I ended up adding a new CSS rule to my theme’s CSS file, luckily bbPress uses a unique class on the page. Adding the following removed the sidebar from my theme, which is based on Genesis:

body.bbpress .sidebar {
display: none ! important;
width: 0px;
}

body.bbpress #content {width: 920px;}

Keep in mind that the content width of 920px is based on my theme’s container and you may need to adjust it to suit your needs.

Here is my installation:

I did a new install of WordPress and selected Twenty Thirteen as the theme, then installed Buddypress and bbPress. Everything was working fine. Then I installed Genesis and a child theme and everything is still fine. I am slowly adding plugins to see which one is causing the problem on my other WordPress site.

WP Version: 3.6 | bbPress Version: 2.4 | Website: http://indietest.de/forums/

Howdy Guys,

i have the problem, that i cant delete the sidebar. i already searched for this problem but all the solutions deosnt work for me, because most of the files (like forum.php) is not existing.

Greets.

I have bbPress working in Dutch now – including switching languages.
In fact, replies post in one language will not show-up in another.
So all-and-all it works great sofar!

Now the theme formatting… but that is a different story => different topic. 🙂

[NogNeetMachinaal]

Hi Everybody,

I’m running WP 3.6 with bbPress 2.4.
I’m using iTheme-2 in a slightly modified version utilizing a child theme.
Is there a way to make bbPress aware of the Theme and sort of takeover its formattings where relevant?
A consistent output in the data entry fields (sort-of-speak) would be a good starting point. For example by using the same formatting as the comment entry for a blog post.
In case needed – take a look here: http://moonen.dyndns.info/wlm4services/en/forums/.

Thanks!

Best regards – Will

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.

[Bierleeuw]

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.

[Stephen Edgar]

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.

@Stephen Edgar

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
