Hi,

A couple of reasons why the shortcodes won’t work.

1. Make sure the bbpress plugin is installed an activated.
2. The theme strips out the any use of shortcodes in the write panel.

Have you tried using the shortcodes in the “Text” panel rather than the “Visual” box?

Hi John James,

Thank you for this information. Good to know.
The Codestyling Localization plugin really seems to be very strict. I do not need it necessarily. Anyway, I work better with the poedit.

The warning in Codestyling Localization is too strict. Both bbPress and BuddyPress allow for loading translation files in the core languages location: wp-content/languages and as a result, do not call load_plugin_textdomain but instead load_textdomain with the correct filters.

Does the CS plugin allow you to override their error reporting? I remember that plugin being pretty robust.

On this page http://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ they say “To use any of the shortcodes simply insert the desired shortcode into any WordPress page.”

So far I’ve tried these three

[bbp-forum-index]
[bbp-single-forum id=1]
[bbp-topic-index]

nothing happens except they show up as text. Why?

[Volvon]

It was my theme, so if anyone finds this page via a search engine, it probably isn’t to do with bbppress itself, more likely your theme CSS messing it up a bit. Every theme is different so your problem might be different that mine. But don’t go messing round with BBpress, that seems fine, I went though most of the code and Css for it! lol

Currently using bbPress 2.3.2 … Is there a way to just screen and moderate the posts of select users, as opposed to having to screen the posts of every user? There can be hundreds of comments posted daily, and we’re too busy to monitor them all, but would like to monitor the few who are inclined to push the limits of forum decorum.

[DanaJo27]

Currently using bbPress 2.3.2 Forum plugin ( http://batgap.com/forums/ ) … Every time any given thread exceeds 30 plus pages, it starts to malfunction. After writing a post, and hitting ‘Submit,’ instead of refreshing the latest page where the new comment appears, the poster is redirected back to page one. Also happens when clicking on the link to the latest comment, or the links contained in email notifications. Only way back to the latest page, is by actually clicking on the page number.

Is there any fix for this issue? Other than staring a new thread.

Well… after my last post, the conversion got up to around 308,000 and stalled, and it wouldn’t start again. I started it again from scratch and it stalled again at the exact same group, so I figured there was something wrong with that batch of posts. I figured out where it had stalled and sure enough, there was a group of posts in one thread that had a bunch of hex numbers in the post title. So I cleared those out and started the conversion again and left it for the night.

When I got up this morning, it was up to around 471,000…so well past the mark that it had stalled before. So hopefully (majorly crossing my fingers here) it will be done when I get home.

As for the second part of your question about the posts not being with their topic… I think all that is supposed to be rectified once you complete the conversion and run all the clean-up tools that are on the Repair tab (think that’s the name of the tab).

Update: I found some old plugins working in the old bbPress installation:

Avatar-Upload
Allow-Images
bb-attachments

All these Plugins were made for bbPress up to 1.0. Do you have any suggestions for me, how to import these images in the new installation? And which new plugins should I use?

[Sven]

Howdy everyone,

I want to migrate an old bbPress forum 1 to bbPress 2.3.2. I used the importer tool to import the old topics an so on. But I am missing the attachments and the user-avatars. The attachments shortcode is shown, but not the image and no avatar. Can anyone help me please?

Wordpress 3.5.1 and bbPress 2.3.2

Kind regards,
iGoras

bbPress/WordPress automatically uses Gravatars. It’s built into the discussion settings.

Hi – I have the bbPress “Recent Topics” widget on the homepage of the site that I am working on (http://heattreatforum.flyten.net/). I want the parent forum that the topic was entered in to show up below the topic in this widget. How can I make this happen?

The version of WP I’m working with is 3.6, the bbpress verions is 2.3.2

Any help would be appreciated – thanks!

[Stephen Edgar]

No there is not, bbPress does not support attachments.

Edit: If the image was part of the original post with using the BBCode [img] then that IS imported as part of the post, if the image was an attachment to the post then it is not imported.

I’d easily go for IP Board or Xenforo before vBulletin. But since we’re using bbPress here and it seems silly to change software solely for private forums, we should probably stick with bbPress suggestions.

I’m sure there’s a way to implement this with some fiddling, but have you considered an alternative? I don’t find that forum software is the best method of communicating with staff members, so for my new project I’m going to use something similar to CollabPress (if not CP itself): https://wordpress.org/plugins/collabpress/

You can also load it on the front end, so your staff members can communicate without going to their WP Dashboard. I find solutions like this to be best, since you can manage all sorts of things and add milestones/accomplishments — which may motivate staff to work harder.

I am having trouble trying to resize my forums table cells widths.

The “topics” and “posts” cells that only contain a number don’t need to be the same width as the “forum” and “freshness” cells that contain words and wrap to the next line.

When I look at the table through firebug I just see “.article th, .article td” which is part of my sytle.css and not bbpress.

Any ideas how I can make the cells widths change?

Here is an example of 1 forum I am talking about http://lifeafterlondon.com/forums-2/

Many thanks

UPDATE:
I have carried out the following troubleshooting activities:

1. Deleted my bbpress child theme (problem did not go away)
2. Changed my theme to the default twenty thirteen then twenty twelve but still noticed the same error when i attempt to use the theme customizer.

[najum]

ok

Hi, i am getting this error message on my site backend. I have created a custom bbpress child theme. The error is “bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /hermes/bosoraweb132/b1582/ipg.virtualweb/https/blog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3012”

What is may be wrong?

[Scott Tyner]

I would like the pages for the forums to NOT have a sidebar and to fill up the page (and sidebar area). There’s not sidebar showing, but the area is white space. I want the forum pages to fill up the entire page. Did that make sense?

I am using Version 2.3.2 bbPress and WordPress version is 3.6

Hey guys!

I’ve added a custom role to BBpress with this piece of code in a functions.php file in my theme:

function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
$bbp_roles[‘my_custom_role’] = array(
‘name’ => ‘ACN Lid’,
‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role(bbp_get_participant_role()) // i just want them to have the same capabilities as moderators

);

I also have a private forum that only this member can access. Right now it works through a member groups plug-in that shields it. But it still let the off limits posts show up in search results.

So I want to try and work within the BBpress system of private and hidden forums. Making the forums private won’t solve a thing, because for some weird reason, participants can also view that… Why is that?

But oh well! I’d like to include the list of capabilities found in the capabilities.php file with this custom role. Instead of the custom role taking the capabilities from the participant. I want to make the members only forums hidden, and make the ACN lid role be able to see the hidden forums.

How do I change the above code, to make it use the following capabilities:
$caps = array(

// Primary caps
‘spectate’ => true,
‘participate’ => true,
‘moderate’ => false,
‘throttle’ => false,
‘view_trash’ => false,

// Forum caps
‘publish_forums’ => false,
‘edit_forums’ => false,
‘edit_others_forums’ => false,
‘delete_forums’ => false,
‘delete_others_forums’ => false,
‘read_private_forums’ => true,
‘read_hidden_forums’ => true,

// Topic caps
‘publish_topics’ => true,
‘edit_topics’ => true,
‘edit_others_topics’ => false,
‘delete_topics’ => false,
‘delete_others_topics’ => false,
‘read_private_topics’ => false,

// Reply caps
‘publish_replies’ => true,
‘edit_replies’ => true,
‘edit_others_replies’ => false,
‘delete_replies’ => false,
‘delete_others_replies’ => false,
‘read_private_replies’ => false,

// Topic tag caps
‘manage_topic_tags’ => false,
‘edit_topic_tags’ => false,
‘delete_topic_tags’ => false,
‘assign_topic_tags’ => true,
);

[Stephen Edgar]

I haven’t seen a plugin to do this…

There is this one https://github.com/jmdodd/bbpress-topic-post-converter but that does topics to posts… Maybe you could fork it and make it go the other way 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

Have a look/search in the plugin section https://bbpress.org/plugins/

There are a couple from memory.

[Stephen Edgar]

If you can set WordPress up that way then bbPress should also work fine using the WordPress setup as bbPress uses WordPress for all user authentications.

I would suggest searching around the WordPress support forums and/or plugins for a solution

https://wordpress.org/support/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/

[Stephen Edgar]

I am sure there are a few in the WordPress Plugins
