Now I have an opposite problem! I have a hidden group with only 2 members, me and another of my email addresses. I’ve been using this for testing.

Problem is that over 600 members have received updates that I posted in the group.

Shouldn’t this only go to group members??

How can I fix this?

THANKS

Hey guys,

I’m having one issue that I can’t seem to figure out. I’ve looked everywhere but I can’t find anyone with the same issue. I’m using the Be Theme with bbPress, and my sidebar widgets (for the forum only) aren’t showing up. When I drag the widgets onto the Plugin | bbPress sidebar, I get an empty sidebar. When I put the widgets in the footer or on a different sidebar (like the blog or even the footer), they work fine. The people from Be Theme say bbpress is fully compatible with Be Theme so I’m a bit confused.

Additionally, I’ve tried deactivating all plugins besides bbpress and that didn’t help. I also ran the forum repairs and nothing happened. I still haven’t tried switching to the twentytwelve theme because I don’t want to lose all of my settings for my current theme.

Have any of you ever encountered this before? I figured I’d try here before trying on the Be Theme forums.

MY ACTIVATED PLUGINS (even though I said my plugins aren’t the cause of the issue)—————–

– Add Meta tags, All in one SEO pack, bbpress, bbpress report content, bbpress login register, contact form 7, duplicate post, force regenerate thumbnails, gd bbpress attachments, gd bbpress tools, google analytics, google xml sitemaps, jellyfish counter widget, jetpack, layerslider wp, mycred, newsletter, related posts thumbnails, slider revolution, user role editor, wordpress popular posts, wp smush, wp user avatar, wpbakery visual composer

bbpress v2.5.8 and the latest version of wordpress. Additionally, I’d rather not give my website name publicly, but I will give links to a mod if they need it.

Here is a screenshot of the site so you can see. There is a sidebar active (once I delete the widgets the sidebar goes away obviously).

Thanks in advance

Well not a bbPress specific plugin, but there are a few plugins that can work with custom post types (bbPress uses custom post types).

A plugin I found and tested is called NS Featured Posts, but like I said many other plugins could possibly work too.

After installing the plugin make sure to go to Settings > NS Featured Posts and make sure to add the topic custom post type from bbPress in the plugin’s settings.

Now we can go to Topics > All Topics and see a new column that says Featured. Make sure to click the checkbox near the topic you would want to feature.

Now we are going to make a custom view to display these featured topics in a topic list, and also be able to display them in pages with a shortcode.

Add this php code snippet into your child themes functions.php or insert this snippet into a custom plugin like functionality.

This function displays about 10 featured topics on a single page, change 10 to whatever you want.

function rkk_register_featured_view() {
 bbp_register_view( 'featured', __( 'Featured Topics' ),  array( 'meta_key' => '_is_ns_featured_post', 'meta_value' => 'yes', 'posts_per_page' => '10', 'max_num_pages' => '1'), false );
}
add_action( 'bbp_register_views', 'rkk_register_featured_view' );

Now in a custom page or widget area that has a widget text area that can handle shortcodes, insert this shortcode.

[bbp-single-view id='featured']`

[Pascal Casier]

In MYSQL with phpmyadmin you would be able to do it. If you would need to add e.g. 4 hours, the idea would be :

WARNING: Backup your database before doing things
WARNING: This is just a starting point, not a real query to launch on your DB

UPDATE poststable SET postfield = DATE_ADD(postfield, INTERVAL 4 HOURS)
WHERE postfield < '2016-04-01 08:20:00';

So in the WHERE you need to put the datestamp when you have done the timezone switch.

Pascal.

I’m using WordPress Version 4.4.2 and
BuddyPress Version 2.5.2
Site: http://www.greenvillespinners.com

I’m not receiving emails for new topics. I have tried everything. Disabled plugins, checked and am not using noreply@… I’ve checked and changed the settings one by one. Still can’t get anything.

Set up another account with another email to test with. Sometimes, only sometimes I will get an email from the other account if they start a new topic. But if I (as admin) start a new topic, the other account doesn’t get an email and neither do I.

Notifications of emails to and from that account work fine.

Please help!!! Thank you.

Hello!

I’m using bbPress 2.5.8 with theme Twenty Sixteen (WP 4.4.2). Accidentally I noticed, that when viewing topic on a devices with small screen (less than 414×736) all of the author avatars are sliding to the upper left. Here is a screenshot:

I tried to install bbPress on a fresh WP install and the avatar does not seems to slide, when viewing in small screens. So, I deactivated all the plugins, removed all known theme modifications, css styles, but avatar is still misplaced.

Here is a link to the test topic: http://rugby-forum.ru/wp2/forums/topic/test/ Can you please, take a look and guess what may be wrong here and how to fix this?

Thank you in advance!

I have a somewhat similar problem. I have an English site, but want to run a Dutch forum on it. Hence, changing the site’s general settings is no option for me.
I’ve uploaded Dutch bbpress-nl_NL.mo and bbpress-nl_NL.po files into the folder wp-content/languages/plugins (and there I removed the original en_GB files). I also tried making a wp-content/languages/bbpress folder with the language files, but failed to resolve the problem (which basically is that when Dutch forum participants type in text all of their words get marked with red underlining as if they are not knowing how to write).
I would very much appreciate some help here.
The site is called HenHub, and one of the (test) fora is called Facilitators.
Many thanks in advance!

Also, if the old xenForo site is still live and people are posting to it, can I re-run the import tool to have it grab the latest posts or would I want to start over? I know that I’ll probably want to start over since you’ve added new import functionality, but in the future, would it work to just run the import tool from time to time until I’m ready to shut down the old site?

No

I’d like to add this functionality down the road, we’ve got it partially, partially in that currently if it finished importing forums and only half way through topics then it would resume from the topics it didn’t finish then continue on to to replies.

It literally resumes from where it left off, it never goes back to check if there are new forums, or new topics but in the future that would be a great addition.

[Stephen Edgar]

Yeah, I’m actually thinking it might be best to require the user (me) to manually move the images directory from the old site to the new site. Then, maybe just use the xenForo URL to the image to display it in the post. It “should” be safe since xenForo reduced the images based on admin settings when they were originally uploaded. Just some random thoughts from a guy not looking at import code. 😉

I can add a “generic” that would change [ATTACH=full]872[/ATTACH] to generic URLhttps:/example.com/attachment/872, you could then manually change thehttps:/example.com/attachment/part of that to anything you want for examplehttp://surveyorconnect.com/attachments/` and have that folder on your server serve up the attachments from there?

I’m wondering if https://bbpress.dev4press.com would actually cure some of the bbcode issues automatically.

We actually use a pretty comprehensive BBCode library already during import it converts a huge amount of common BBCode code to native HTML for us, I think you’d find there are only a handful of custom BBCode’s not covered by this library and is why I add them manually.

p.s. I haven’t packaged up a new release with the changes just yet, but you can always get the latest version (with the above updates) from:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/XenForo.php

At the bottom of that page is a link to download the file in “original format” and that will get you the file, the link is dynamic and changes each revision so that’s why no direct link.

Hello!

We ar running the latest versions of WordPress and bbPress. From the beginning, since bbPress was installed, it’s working incorrectly. When I go to specific forum page, the topics list is not showing. And Opening a topic directly, the topic content is not displayed.
The problem is in our custom created theme, because, when I switch to one of the default WordPress themes, everything is working fine.
I can’t figure out what is wrong with our theme, or how to make it bbPress redy.

The specific forum: http://mglatvia.id.lv/forums/forum/foruma-noteikumi/
The single topic: http://mglatvia.id.lv/forums/topic/demo-testa-topiks/

[Valery Kondakoff]

Pascal, thank you for helping me!

By misaligned I was meant that the avatars are not on the same line as the user name. Your code solves this issue:

img.avatar.avatar-14.photo {
 margin-bottom: 0px !important;
display:inline;
}

There is a side-effect though: the avatar gets underlined if you use ‘display:inline;’. If there is a way to remove the underline? ‘text-decoration: none’ does not seems to work.

Here is a link to the test forum with your code applied: http://rugby-forum.ru/wp3/forums/forum/test-forum/

Thank you!

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

bbpress and buddypress work fine together.

Hi,

I have wordpress 4.4.4 with bbpress 2.5.8 installed with Buddypress 2.5.2 Everything works fine except on my profile page.

If I go to a user profile and go to the tab forums and subtab topics started, it just shows every single topic that has been made and not just the topic that has been started by that user.
Same goes with ‘replies created’, I get to see every single reply beside the user’s replies.
As with favorites and subscribed, All topics besides the favorites will also all still display.
I basically needs all those tabs to display that user’s created topics and replies exactly like here on bbpress.org.

Is there a some settings I need to set? Could buddypress settings have been causing it? Is there some test I can run to see what is it?

Hello,

Hello, first I’d just like to say that I’ve thoroughly searched this issue, on Google and here on the forum, and have found no conclusive answers to this.

Right now I’m noticing tons of p and br tags in bbPress HTML, and I’m confused as to whether this is stemming from wpautop or is actually part of bbPress template files itself.. to test I’ve literally deactivated wpautop itself (and checked site-wide on other pages to verify it was indeed off) and the tags still remain on bbPress pages.

This is making it extremely hard to custom style bbPress while navigating these tags, as they break the layout in needless ways.

Here’s some examples..

Thanks for reading,

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
I confirm that all topics,replies and forum are stored as custom post types in the wp_posts and wp_postmeta table like any other post.
So you cannot just restore a table to get your data back.

I have never done this before, but I would try to clean the old environment, export and then import (I suppose import will append). Of course in test first.

Pascal.

[Stephen Edgar]

I wrote a reply here yesterday, it’s vanished 🙁

I have an idea what it might be but today has run out of hours, I’ll test this tomorrow and let you know 🙂

[Pascal Casier]

First in test, always !

Hi.

I have created 4 Forums, but only the latest 2 show up on the Forum Index page.
I’ve looked at the settings, but I can’t seem to find anything to change to allow more to show.
The website is still under development, but you can see the page at http://www.computer-repairs-morayfield.com.au/jetski/forums/
All Forums are “Open”.
I’m hoping someone can shed some light on the problem.

Regards
Iain

I think I’m pulling the right info…

MySQL server version: 5.5.42-37.1

On the PhP Back end…

Under “Web Server” it says:
Database client version: libmysql – 5.1.73

On phpMyAdmin it says:
Version information: 4.3.8, latest stable version: 4.6.0

[aaachiaki]

Late to the party on migrating, but I think it’s time. Installed bbPress via plugins on my WordPress instance. I’d played around with it in the past so I cleared all the old data with a board reset. Went to import and put in all the information – created a new MySQL user with full permissions to the database my phpBB forum is on.

Set rows limit to 75 and Delay time to 3 – I have a pretty big forum to move.

Checked all three boxes for Convert Users, Start Over, and Purge – I want a full, clean import.

It gets right to the start of the process and says:
WordPress database error: [Table ‘XXXX_forum.users’ doesn’t exist]
(the XXXX is the name of my database)

And it gives a long string in gray after that of info I don’t quite understand.

Tried deleting the plugin and reinstalling it. I’m on the latest version of WordPress and PhpBB.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance!

[abletec]

Well let’s see if the 3rd time’s a charm. My site is netballscoop.com. I’m running latest version of WordPress & BBPress. This is a sports site, w/content going back to 2007. I’d really like to make it such that only content for the current year is displayed & previous content archived to another site, but I’m having trouble. An export of only 2016 content & reimport does not work correctly (I suspect because the topic & reply numbers are messed up) & the WordPress Bulk Delete plugin simply can’t do this. Anyone got any suggestions? Please? Is this something that no one else wants to do or…?

[olliewe88]

Hello,

I make a new fourm role called facepainter. When I go into the user and set the fourm role as facepainter it works fine. However when they post somthing it still says member below their name, when it should say facepainter.

I am on the latest wordpress version
I am using Tesseract theme
My website is http://www.monsterbrand.co.uk

Hopefully that is clear enough
Thanks!
