From few days (well, its been months), the bbPress menus (Forums, Topics, Replies) aren’t showing up in the wp-admin menubar. I’ve disabled all plugins and activated the twentytwelve theme, problem still remains. It’s only happening on that installation. Didn’t find any clue, what might happen. Any ideas?

Also, visiting to http://example.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum page displays “Cheating?” message. Seems like a permission issue, but I am administrator.

Hi,

I set up a new site with buddypress, bbpress and some other plugins.

I did not change the user capabilities for the subscribers.

My Problem is that users can use the “edit this page” link that is placed at the bottom of a page that contains a topic (and the viewing user is author of this topic) that leads the user to the backend (/wp-admin/post.php?post=83716&action=edit for example).
There the user is able to change the published date, the status (sticky, ..) of the topic, the text etc.

I think this is not normal… Subscibers should not be able to access the backend and to change published topics…

My subscribers do not have any edit_posts capabilities. They have just “level 0” and “read” as capability shown in the user role editor.

Is there a problem known that might depend on one of the modules that is installed at my site?

How can I get users not to be able to edit their topics?

I use the following modules:
akismet
bbpress-stay-checked
buddypress
buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type
events-manager
user-role-editor
bbpress
bp-force-profile
buddypress-activity-plus
cd-bp-avatar-bubble
gd-bbpress-tools
regenerate-thumbnails
view-own-posts-media-only
bbpress-post-toolbar
bp-profile-search
buddypress-media
easy-wp-smtp
tdlc-birthdays
wp-ffpc
bbpress-simple-advert-units
buddymobile
buddypress-recaptcha
erident-custom-login-and-dashboard
nextend-facebook-connect
ultimate-tinymce
wp-hide-dashboard

Thanks for your help!

Im in need of this code as well, however when i add it to functions in my wordpress theme folder it crashes my website. I tried adding to bbpress functions as well but same problem. Any advice? :/

[littlesparrowblog]

I am using WordPress 3.6, bbPress 2.3.2 on http://www.hphe.net

On the bbpress forums pages, when I try to view so-and-so’s profile, it is not displaying properly…it’s all squashed to the left side and impossible to read. I am extremely new to any type of coding. I went with WordPress to avoid having to know a lot of coding.

I appreciate any help!

Thanks for replying,

The only bit of info I don’t have is “Table Prefix.” I don’t know where to find that. The other settings I’m pretty sure are accurate. Do you know where I can find that? Please excuse my inexperience with all this. Just getting started.

Also, when I finishing importing the forum, I assume the WP page for forum automatically switches to bbPress? If not, how can I switch it manually?

Thank you in advance. I really want to use bbPress over Simple:Press

(I thought I posted yesterday but don’t see it under my profile. If duplicate, mods know what to do)

WP 3.5.1 with bbPress. Click topic in one forum (I.e. domain.com/general/topic) and it shows 11 posts with 10 per page. Click page 2 and it brings you to a new forum and topic.

Yesterday I tested and it brought me not to the 11th post but another forum and topic (domain.com /sports/twins). Just checked now and it brings up a different forum and topic than yesterday.

I need to know how to fix this. I’m thinking a temp fix is to allow 20 topics per page as the site is new. I’m just hoping I can do that.

But I need a perm fix so it stays on topic.

(The site is for mature folks so I can give our leader, Justin, the URL but won’t post it).

Regarding your question on StackExchange on removing excess <p> & <br> tags I’ll post an update to the converter that shows how to do this in the next day or so (I have to do this for ~6 of the new converters) so you can take a look at what needs doing for SocialEngine…

[Stephen Edgar]

As above, bbPress 1.x is not really supported anymore but if you DO need to install it to migrate to bbPress 2.x etc then make sure you have the bbPress 1.x package, BackPress and the GlotPress PoMo, the links to each of these are here:

Legacy

[Stephen Edgar]

The SimplePress converter is already included in bbPress and is the latest version available, you should not need to download and upload it to your server.

The settings are critical to getting the importer working correctly, sadly at this stage there is very little error messages displayed if you get any of these settings wrong and this is the most common issue with importing.

Ensure your settings are correct for the fields noted in the docs here:
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/#configuring-the-importer

You may have to check with your webhost to ensure you are using the correct values.

Works very well with wp 3.6, i just installed it today without a hitch.

I have a wordpress site and a bbpress forum. I have found hundreds of posts that are appearing from users that are not registered. I don’t know how they are posting content to my forum or if they have set up something under my domain. My forum has a template through suffusion and looks nothing like the forum that has all the posts. Our website is: http://allinclusivevacationandtravel.com We have a limited amount of posts and no registered users except for me.

There are 130 pages of posts here under our domain: http://allinclusivevacationandtravel.com/forum/

Can someone please help me figure this out?

[tinfoiler]

Ive had a search through the forums here and cant find an answer to my question, i have just installed bbpress and it integrates perfectly into my current wordpress installation. I notice whenever a post is made in bbpress the authors ip address is logged and is visible to the administrator. I would like to disable this and set it so that no ip addresses are stored at all.

From what i can tell the ip’s seem to be stored in the following db field:

wp_postmeta/meta_value

I have a function i found online for wordpress which prevents the ip from being logged:

add_filter('pre_comment_user_ip', 'no_ips');
function no_ips($comment_author_ip){
  return '';
}

Can the above be converted for use with bbpress?

Any advice would be appreciated 🙂

[Xevo]

bbpress is under active development by JJJ, so the latest versions should work with the latest versions of wordpress.

[Xevo]

There is no longer any support for bbpress 1.x and I do not recommend using it.

But if it gives the error of missing certain files, have you checked if all files are there?

[Xevo]

Is verder alles wel vertaald op je forum? Ik heb namelijk net gekeken in de source files en deze horen wel vertaalbaar te zijn vanuit de po/mo.

Of heb je je (custom) thema al aangepast voor bbpress?

[Xevo]

As far as I know bbpress is already build on wordpress’s custom post types, you would be better off trying something like this with post meta.

Doubt anything like that has been made for bbpress though.

[Xevo]

bbpress != wordpress

If your a programmer, you should read up on the codex, if not I do not recommend to do this yourself. I would recommend rehiring the designer/programmer (if he has the necessary knowledge).

[Xevo]

This has almost nothing to do with bbPress, as it uses the info from wordpress.

Here’s a page about it.

Hello,
I am having issues getting the BBpress forum to display in any sensible manner
At one point i made a category and used it as a page, this at least looked reasonable but didn’t allow for sections to be created. I am currently using the shortcode “[bbp-forum-index]” and now the catagoriess seems to show the sub forums. but they are all bunched together with a (0,0) next to each of them
Is there a way to split this up or create a proper forum layout?
my forum page: http://watracing.com/?page_id=132

I am new to BBpress

[knsheely]

I get this issue because the BBP Threaded Replies plugin automatically de-activates the Fancy Editor.

bbPress Threaded Replies is incompatible with the Fancy Editor; enabling threading will automatically disable the Fancy Editor.

I’m not sure why they did that, but I was able to get around it by adding remove_filter('bbp_use_wp_editor', '__return_false'); to my theme’s functions.php file.

[mjjinvincible]

I just put this filter inside bbpress-functions.php, but it seems not to be executing the function… could you please help me? I’m stuck…

add_filter('bbp_plugin_dir_url', '_bbp_plugin_dir_url');
function _bbp_plugin_dir_url($plugin_dir_url) {
	return str_replace("/home/content/12345/html/content/plugins", "", $plugin_dir_url);
}

Thank you!

[knsheely]

I am also having this issue. I assume it has to do with this option being ‘disabled’ as mentioned in the plugin at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab.

I tried installing that plugin and enabling but the editor still doesn’t show up. Anyone have any information about this?

[Justinvarnes]

I am currently using Simple:press and want to convert to bbPress. I have both installed on my WP, and I downloaded simplepress.php and uploaded it onto my server in the file/directory suggested from this site (wpcontent/etc)

I followed these instructions: http://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/

And when I hit “start’, I get this:

“Repair any missing information: Continue

Conversion Complete
No replies to convert
No tags to convert
No topics to convert
No forum parents to convert
No forums to convert
No passwords to clear
No users to convert
Starting Conversion”

(Obviously in reverse order).

WHat am I doing wrong? I have the updated versions of both forums and of WP (3.6).

Hi,

I’ve added the Dutch translation (po and mo files) for bbPress. However on my forum page the search box is still in English (Search…). This should be in Dutch as well (Zoeken…).
Can anyone help me please?

Kind regards,
Peter
