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.

[NeilJ]

Quick update: I decided to do the import on an actual dev server rather than on my local machine and it completed. It did the conversion a lot faster than running locally. It does, however, look like it has not converted over the categories and I am not confident that all of the topics have converted either. If am not too hungover tomorrow I will look into it more 🙂

Je bedoeld de activiteiten pagina van Buddypress?

In dat geval moet je bbpress ook z’n vertaling nog geven, gezien Buddypress en bbPress compleet aparte vertalings bestanden hebben.

Je kunt hier vinden hoe.

Adjust your Forum attributes. These are:
Types: choose whether you are creating a Forum or category.
Forum – can contain topics and be the parent of other forums.
Category – can only contain forums (no topics). Use for organizing your forums.

…

You may, for example, have a Category “Open Source Software” with the Forums “bbPress” and “WordPress”.

…

Parent: Forums can have a hierarchical structure. If your forum is a sub-forum of another Forum or is the child of a category, add the Parent here.

[nvkodde]

Not sure of the actual cause but bbPress 2.4 RC 1 seems to of fixed my problem.

[craig]

oh this is a bbpress question.

I’m using bbpress to completely manage my sitewide and group forums. I’ve completely turned buddypress forums off.

BBPress requires a ‘forum root’ to be selected to determine where it will save the forums, and these are visible in the bbpress site wide forum.

I would like this feature hidden or removed. Do you know how?

[Tecca]

In your bbpress.css file you’ll find something like this:

#bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta img.avatar, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-reply-revision-log img.avatar, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topic-revision-log img.avatar, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-template-notice img.avatar, #bbpress-forums .widget_display_topics img.avatar, #bbpress-forums .widget_display_replies img.avatar, #bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta img.avatar {
    border: 3px double #DDDDDD;
    float: none;
    margin-bottom: -7px;
}

Add display: inline; to it, and that’ll fix it up for ya.

[Tecca]

This is the way that bbPress is; you’d need to make your own theme if you want it to have a forum hierarchy. This is a feature that is being added in the future, however.

Hey there,

I have set up the bbpress plugin for wordpress, so far everything worked as it should, only one thing didnt work: the username and his/hers profile pic are not aligned. How can i fix this?

check http://www.asdfarchitects.com/forums

Thanks alot!!!

[Tareq]

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.

[quan_flo]

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!

[Justinvarnes]

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

[SickSquirrelTwo]

(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).

[Stephen Edgar]

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.
