I just had a quick read of those links you mentioned and I like what I read.

I wondered if there was a setup of this using Vagrant as I have been playing with this recently.

I had a read of this and then cloned this GitHub repo to my local machine.

Copied the Vagrantfile.redis file to Vagrantfile. and made a couple of network chances to the Vagrantfile to suit my local setup.

Ran Vagrant Up from the console and made a coffee.

Configured WordPress’ 5 minute install and everything was up and running in under 10 minutes 🙂

Sadly I’ve hit a brick wall trying to install bbPress (or any plugin for that matter) that I will most definitely look further into tomorrow.

Thanks for you reply.

I am not getting the following error:

WordPress database error: [Table 'insomnia_tccjoomla.tvc4d_user' doesn't exist]
SELECT convert(user.userid USING "utf8") AS userid,convert(user.password USING "utf8") AS password,convert(user.salt USING "utf8") AS salt,convert(user.username USING "utf8") AS username,convert(user.email USING "utf8") AS email,convert(user.homepage USING "utf8") AS homepage,convert(user.joindate USING "utf8") AS joindate,convert(user.aim USING "utf8") AS aim,convert(user.yahoo USING "utf8") AS yahoo,convert(user.icq USING "utf8") AS icq,convert(user.msn USING "utf8") AS msn,convert(user.skype USING "utf8") AS skype FROM tvc4d_user AS user LIMIT 0, 100

I believe the table it should be looking for is: tccjoomla.tvc4d_users not user

[Nykess]

Yes, that’s already the code I’m using, but I am looking now to add two columns. Please look through thread.

Thank you.

Gosh the fix sounds complicated. I’ll wait for the official bug fix 🙂

Hello,

I have searched a lot and digged in the code on how to remove the “Reply To:” in the freshness block for forum. Take a look at this example: where you eg can se “Reply To: 80’s dresses”.

So how, do I remove this?

I want to display in WordPress search results page – 10 or less found results from BBPress (plugin) forums. I know that BBPress use custom post types (forum, topic, reply) but I don’t know how to do it. I try with WP Query, but it didn’t show nothing. I don’t want to override BBPress search page and functions, I just want to show some results in WordPress search page. Is this possible?

Thank you all in advance.

Here is the query I try:

<?php 
    // The Query
    $the_query = new WP_Query( array (
        'post_type' => array('topic', 'reply'),
        'posts_per_page' => 10,
        's'=> $s
    ));

    // The Loop
    if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
        while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) { $the_query->the_post();
            echo '<li>' . get_the_title() . '</li>';
        }
    } else {
    // no posts found
    }
    /* Restore original Post Data */
    wp_reset_postdata();
?>

Hello,

if a problem. If a group is Private and a visitor press FORUM tab is redirected to the ADMIN login.
I need to avoid this.
Please try to go here ->
http://fashionbleeker.com/groups/fashion-pioneers/ and press FORUM under avatar.

Do you know the name of file and the exact code that I need to change to avoid this redirect for NON logged users?

Thanks
Simone

There is no codex page for bbPress conditionals at this stage but take a look at this and see if any bbp_is_ meet your requirements.

I installed BBPress created a few forums, used the shortcode to display the forums and they work fine. I added the BBPress Login Widget to my site and when I try to login I’m re-directed to mysite.com/wp-login.php but with a completely blank screen and one single period mark in the top left corner. If I login through my default login page I’m able to login fine but the BBPress login widget has this problem. It does this with or without a username or password being entered in its forms when you press login.

It is not taking me to my 404 page, this is something different because it’s not actually taking me to mysite.com/wp-login.php either, even though that’s what the browser reads. It’s as though it is being interrupted mid process and then producing this blank screen with a single dot.

I disabled all plugins (excluding bbpress). Did not fix the problem.

Disabled my theme and activated default 2013 theme. Same problem.

I read on another post, five years old I think, that someone was having a similar issue where BBPress was putting a period before the www part of his site. Other information I read seemed to point to trouble with WP secrete keys in the php being ajar from BBPress php keys or config files, but I found no such files in my plugin folder, I guess those methods are outdated.

My site error logs are recording no issue directly regarding the plugin either. Anyone know what the deal is? Thanks.

Wrote this:

add_rewrite_tag( '%custom%', '([1]{1,})' );
add_rewrite_rule( 'users'. '/([^/]+)/custom/&$', 'index.php?' . 'bbp_user' . '=$matches[1]&custom=1', 'top');

But when you go to the page user/admin/custom, 404 page is displayed

Hello,

WP version : 3.6.1
bbpress : 2.4

Please, is there someone to clarify these :

I want to have a “new topic button” on top of each forum. I found some info here, I created a page with shortcode [bbp-topic-form].

And now ?

How can I have this link on the top of my forum ?
I’m not a develloper.

Thank you

[inspirationally]

Wow, great work!! Thank you so much!
Baby sleeping, big one sent to kindergarden, so I have a bit of time, too.

Little changes in your version:

replaced

			'from_tablename'  => 'forum',

with

			'from_tablename'  => 'wbb1_1_board',

at forum status and forum board

(Btw. everyone may use another board ID!!!) I have 1, some may also have wbb2_1_board and wcf2_ or even wbb1_2_board (if they have a second board – you can install two baords in one WCF – Community Framework – this is to change individually. The same goes for the language IDs. There may be more/different languages.

Signature import works (will have to see how to implement that later for buddypress maybe), just special characters don’t convert: “there’s Johnny.— – but that’s just a mini error,
languages work, too (I just have to see how to implement it),
I have whole topics with all their answers (what I did not have yesterday – instead a headache).
Categories work quite perfect, too!
Closed forums -> no idea, because I don’t have any. But it sounds correct.
BBCodes have been converted, too, besides a few like [align=center]

The sortOrder does NOT work. Simply, because that field exists in wbb1_1_board, but it is empty.
This is saved in wbb1_1_board_structure with the fields parentID boardID and position.
I tried a table join here again and probably destroyed your clean coding once again. But it works, I just tested!!
See the updated wbb.txt from the top!!

The author thing is bad,
It’d be great if they even were anonymous and not ME. Actually there are some pretty silly posts there, and I keep replying to myself this way. Hmmm…
But I can solve it with manually replacing User ID 1 with 0 where it is a topic or reply for now to MAKE it anonymous.

I tried – because of the smilies not working and the special chars in the signature – an import with uncommenting the last lines (see wbb.txt)
Some Special Characters still wrong, but who cares for the few? as long as ä ö ü ß from German language work, everything is fine.
Smilies started to work. Great!!

So the only thing left is the author and the passwords.
I tried to implement parts of a paid plugin WBB Bridge here, but even that didn’t work (plus we cannot simply use it because of the license)

[Stephen Edgar]

Sure is possible 🙂

Take a read of this to help you on your way https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/

Make a category (forum) called ‘Fruits’ and then make your sub forums ‘Apples’, ‘Oranges’ etc
Make another category (forum) called ‘Vegetables’ and sub forums ‘Potatoe’, ‘Carrots’ etc

Create a WordPress page for each of your categories ‘Fruits’ and ‘Vegetables’

Use the [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] bbPress shortcode on each of these pages with the forum_id of each category.

[Stephen Edgar]

I haven’t got much else to add except I think you have tried everything to find ‘spot the difference’ 😉

I am glad it is sorted though.

If you have SSH access to your host go on a code hunt 😉

grep -i -r 'bbp_list_forums' * and/or grep -i -r 'bbp-forums-list' *

This will find any reference to the term ‘bbp_list_forums’, there might be some rogue hiding spot where this is being used as a custom function somewhere.

[Stephen Edgar]

Forum Section

• Added Forum Display Order using wbb1_1_board.sortOrder
• Added wbb1_1_board.boardType and callback method callback_forum_type where category =1 & forum = 0
• wbb1_1_board.isClosed & callback method callback_forum_status where closed =1 & open = 0
• (Are the above values correct for these DB fields? I have guessed these ;))

Topic Section

• Changed callback method for Topic Language from callback_topic_reply_count to callback_topic_language
• Added topic author ip
• Your SQL join for the topic content looks good

Reply Section

• Fixed ‘Reply parent forum id’ (we need the ‘parent forum’ here not the first ‘post id’, the inline docs were not very clear here)
• Removed ‘Reply Unregistered Author name’ (See #2347for more info)

User Section

• Added ‘User Signature’ wcf1_user.signature

Generally cleaned up the code and inline docs to match the other importers.

As you can see on line 478 from the code you pasted, the <br /> is here, but I guess it’s not interpreted because it’s just at the end of the < li > element, which is displayed inline. These CSS properties are not easy to use. Maybe a plugin added a css that caused the issue.

But your problem is solved, that’s the main thing 🙂

[inspirationally]

I’m too silly, damn. This is over my intelligence.
I have the problem, that the posts have the wrong post_parent, so that two topics are merged curiously.

For example Post ID 9257 from the WBB board is attached to Thread ID 9257 from the old board, and I cannot see what I have to change. Please please help!
This took me now over 2 hours changing things and I haven’t found it. I guess it is this part, but I have no idea what to change:

// Parent Post ID.
		// Note: We join the posts table because this needs to be the fist post of a topic.
		$this->field_map[] = array(
			'from_tablename'  => 'wbb1_1_thread',
			'from_fieldname'  => 'firstPostID',
			'join_tablename'  => 'wbb1_1_post',
			'join_type'       => 'INNER',
			'join_expression' => 'USING (threadID) WHERE wbb1_1_thread.threadID = wbb1_1_post.threadID',
			'to_type'         => 'reply',
			'to_fieldname'    => 'post_parent',
		);
		

I updated the wbb.txt above (where I also linked the WBB database structure).

[inspirationally]

Hmm…unfortunately, all the posts written by unregistered users are assigned to ME (UserID = 1) automatically. Is there any possibility to give them the user ID 0 (=Anonymous) and in that case also save the username in postmeta?

// Reply unregistered author name (stored in postmeta)
		$this->field_map[] = array(
			'from_tablename'  => 'wbb1_1_post',
			'from_fieldname'  => 'username',
			'to_type'         => 'reply',
			'to_fieldname'    => '_bbp_anonymous_name',
		);
		

[jenseo]

Ok, I have partly found the problem!

I’m relying on Google’s jQuery-packs since these load much faster. I’m having the following code in my functions.php file:

	// Load jQuery
	if ( !is_admin() ) {
	   wp_deregister_script('jquery');
	   wp_register_script('jquery', ("http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js"), false);
	   wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
	}

When removing this line, it suddenly works. The problem is that I would like to keep using Googles libraries…

Any suggestions?

// Jens.

I went to clan.wolflan.com and your source code looks like some paragraphs were added by your editor as I see some <p> and </p> in weird places. What software did you use to edit loop-single-forum.php or your functions.php ?

I was not able to check because some of your forums are private, but what’s the html source code for the list of subforums ? (I mean in the browser) Is there a <br /> between the list of subforums ? Because, when I watch your screenshot, subforums are not separated by a comma, so I guess the function did his job, but your code may be broken because you used WordPress editor or an other editor that deleted the <br />.

Anyway, in your case, the simplest solution may be using some CSS. And as you said, simple stuff first ! You wouldn’t need to change any php template. You may try something like that in your style.css or Custom CSS if you use Jetpack :

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {
  display: block;
}

If it works, I don’t know what was the problem with the bbp_list_forums() function, but you will not need to use it and you can delete the custom loop-single-forum.php that you copied to your theme’s directory if you had not made other edits.

I am pleased to report I managed to successfully upgrade to bbPress from legacy forums
The proper code to put in the Forums page is:
[bbp-topic-index]

[Erlend]

Thank you very much for chiming in Beau. Your points make sense, except the first one has me a bit confused. o2 is going to be a plugin, like bbPress. So isn’t “WordPress.com runs WordPress, not o2” just as true?

the code will be open source, so you’re welcome to take pieces and apply it to bbPress as well.

I sincerely hope that will be feasible. Excitedly looking forward to seeing o2 in action!

[Beau Lebens]

I suppose there are a few reasons for this, but the most immediate are:

• Our primary goal is replacing our own internal communications platform (P2). That runs on WordPress.com, which runs WordPress, not bbPress (this is probably the biggest one).
• We (the team working on it) are more natively WordPress developers than bbPress specifically.
• Quite simply, we didn’t really think about it until we were already well along the way building it for WordPress.

There are no plans to do anything related to bbPress, but the code will be open source, so you’re welcome to take pieces and apply it to bbPress as well.

[Hansaplastique]

Or is there an option to disable this feature?

[Hansaplastique]

I’m running 2.4 and WP 3.6.1.
It seems that bbPress converts backticks to code tags …

Can anyone please explain to me how I can post code that has backticks in it?
I mean: the backticks are part of the actual code I’m trying to post in my forum? So they should NOT be converted.
