Hello. I am testing out the bbpress forum for future use on my website. It is currently located at http://www.historicmysteries.com/forumss/forumm/administration/

I am using a Studiopress Genesis theme and downloaded the BBpress Genesis plugin and toolkit.

If you take a look at the link, the “freshness” text is located underneath and to the right of the text “forum”. Is this correct? It seems out of place.

Any assistance is appreciated

Hi there –

There’s something wonky going on between Editorial Calendar and bbPress. When I try to access the forums, topics, or replies on the backend, I’m redirected to the calendar.

When I deactivated the calendar, the forum menu disappeared (but the forum remained on the front end). SMH

Any advice for fixing this issue?

Hi,

I have a problem with the bread crumbs in the bbPress forum.
There is only the Home link and the last location.

Example:
It should show:
Home > Forums > forum1 > Post1

When I am in forum1, only appears:
Home > forum1
When I am in Post1, only appears:
Home > Post1

I hope someone can help me, because I have no idea what I need to do to make the breadcrumbs function correctly.

Thank you for help!

I think – ironically – my posts are being sent straight to spam or pending, etc. here on the bbpress forum. I posted something here yesterday and have not seen it yet. My profile says I have no started topics.

How can this be fixed here? Also, how can I fix it on my own site? I’m using Gensis 2.0.

Thanks.

Ken

Hi,

I’m currently trying to use the shortcodes:
[bbp-register]
[bbp-login]

For some reasons, these plugins don’t appear on the bbpress forum pages but works perfectly fine on any other page.

Am I missing something?

Thanks.

You could create a page and call it “help”. Using the bbPress shortcodes you can show the forum index on that page.

You can change the slugs in the settings page (Settings>Forums). There you can change the base slug to “help”, so that all topics show up under /help instead of /forums.

Just make sure that you don’t get conflicts between your pages and the slugs.

Bump!

I know this would create another DB call, but surely this option should be a no brainer for the users. this appears to be a un-popular issue for users..

is bbpress not listening or addressing this request?

Hi, I am hoping someone could help me.

I am using the bbpress plugin. I want the landing page for all my forums to be http://mysite.com/help

How do I change the forum address from http://mysite.com/forum to /help??

Thank you

Hallo,

I’ve just installed bbPress.
In my WordPress a warning appears:

Load Behavior: The author used load_textdomain instead of load_plugin_textdomain function. This may change the behavior of WordPress, because some filters and actions now no longer be executed. Please contact therefore the author.

What does the author say?

Hello,

I am currently using bbPress for my forum. However, there is one thing I can’t get to work.

I am trying to have a different page for creating a topic. I have the page (/create-topic), but I can’t get to remove the ‘Create topic’ ‘widget’ below a forum.

So… I want a page for creating a topic, and remove the ‘widget’ below every forum.

Whatever I try, I can’t get it to work. I’ve looked everywhere, please help!

Thanks in advance!

Yeah I am looking at how to import them myself. I was trying the following just to even get the categories into the database but it does nothing:

$this->field_map[] = array(
	'from_tablename'  => 'categories',
	'from_fieldname'  => 'id_cat',
	'to_type'         => 'category',
	'to_fieldname'    => '_bbp_forum_type'
);

Not that the forum I am importing has a lot of categories but it would be nice if we could import these as well.

[dice2dice]

Thanks Stephen, I will try there.

[Stephen Edgar]

I’m not familiar enough with the way BuddyPress works its ‘members’.

Jump over to http://buddypress.org and see if they can give you some pointers.

[dice2dice]

Stephen thank you for your reply.

I seem to have done this already today, though not intentionally, I have been working on resolving this for the past 6 hours.

The image below confirms that I now have 91 participants. But if you click on my ‘Members’ on my home page it states there are now 20 members (link here http://www.whichinvestmenttrust.com/members/ ).

I believe ‘Members’ comes from Buddypress and not from BBPress so I’ve been wondering if there is a disconnect there? Maybe I haven’t set it up properly.

I’ve looked through a lot of forums and posts both on BBpress, WordPress and several other websites bit I’ve not seen anyone else posting this issue.

Thanks, Dice

[Stephen Edgar]

Categories are not converted yet, I need to come up with some uber SQL statement to get these imported, I just took a quick look and drew a blank 😉

The rest of the forum hierarchy is fully imported though so you can just recreate the categories and then assign the remaining forums to these categories (typically not there are not many categories on forums so it should be a quick and easy workaround.

[Stephen Edgar]

Open up your WordPress users admin eg. http://www.whichinvestmenttrust.com/wp-admin/users.php

I presume this is because your existing WordPress users before you installed bbPress do not have a ‘forum role’, set these users as ‘Participants’ and I think you will be good to go.

There is some more detailed role info here:
https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

[dice2dice]

Gosh this is so frustrating.

When I click on ‘WangGuard Users’ it states I have 89 verified members. How does WangGuard connect with BBPress?

The 89 definitely includes members who registered on my site before I installed BBPress.

I’ve found a tool to import members it is here….. https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/

But it doesn’t seem to include WordPress members. It is just members of other forums software.

A solution might be to uninstall BBPress and install something that works better but if I uninstall BBPress will it delete my members?

I see others using http://disqus.com Maybe that would work better?

Hello,

I’m a super admin on a new WordPress install with one sub site (the main site).

When I posted to BBPress my post gets this message:

This topic is marked as spam.

…and when I go to Topics there are no topics.

…and I can’t seem to find the Spam folder anywhere to select the topic and tell BBPress that it’s not spam.

I know I’m new but please be patient with me.

Thank you,

Chris

Hi,

Using bbP 2.3.2 on WP 3.6.

This may seem silly but isn’t using a user’s username (aka their login username) in their public profile url a reduction in security?

In any case, I want to see if there is any possibility to change that. the main reason is that for other reasons we have used people’s email addresses as the usernames when creating accounts. This made some sense at the time but provides an issue where now that we have added bbPress, people’s profile url includes their email address. something most of them will probably not like, and is reduction in security and privacy.

Is there a way to make it something like http://www.sitename.com/users/firstname_lastname/ instead?

or is there any other ideas as how to solve this dilemma?

Thanks

[KenTheriot]

I just set up my first bbpress forum (WP 3.6 and bbPress 2.3.2). I’m using Genesis with the Eleven40 child theme. I also installed the bbPress Genesis Extend plugin.

For what it is worth, this problem does NOT happen using the Twenty Twelve theme. So it is likely related to the Genesis and Eleven40 child theme combo.

The problem I’m having is that the url “mysite/forums,” leads NOT to the forum index, but instead to a strange page that pulls a graphic from my theme and puts the following text on the page:

“Search for: Living With A Urinary Catheter › Forums Forum Topics Posts Freshness General Discussion Introduce yourself and talk about all things catheter related. 2 2 26 minutes ago Ken Theriot Urethral Strictures And Their Treatments Discussions about urethral strictures, their symptoms, treatments, success rates and surgery recovery. 0 0 No Topics”

Here is a link: http://livingwithacatheter.com/forums/

I have set up a page called “Community Forums” on which I have put the index shortcode, and the link to that, which I have in my NAV menu, works great. It leads here:

Community Forums

It would be an issue except that there is a clickable link in the breadcrumbs that leads to the weird /forums page (Living With A Urinary Catheter › Forums › General Discussion) – the “Forums” part of the breadcrumb path.

Is there a way I can at least correct the link destination of “Forums” in the breadcrumbs?

Thanks!

Ken

Hi,

Before installing BBPress I had around 45 members of my site that registered via WordPress.

I’ve had new members since I installed BBPress but only some show up as members. If you browse to the members section of my site it says there are 18 members. There was 16 members this morning and 10 new ones have registered today but they BBPress forums are not counting them as members.

My website is http://www.whichinvestmenttrust.com If you click on members it states there is 18 but there are a lot more than 18 so why is it counting them up wrong?

I’m stuck. If you have any suggestions or need more information please respond. I’d love to hear from you.

Many thanks, Dice

You can however download 2.4 already.

bbPress 2.4 – Release Candidate 1

Unfortunately bbPress is still in its early active development which means that a lot of wanted features are still being fabricated as we speak.

[johni33]

That may well be the reason, but what is the solution?
surely bbpress needs to send commands to wordpress such that it produces the desired result, i.e. selecting a navigation link in a bbpress widget should navigate to the desired page in bbpress, not jump to some random news page.
If it’s fixed in 2.4 as indicated above, that’s great but that’s not released yet.
