Just curious, for some reason it doesn’t work anymore..

I’ve done this for many years now, visit the Trunk and download the latest version with all raw changes. Activate it locally and run some tests, create themes, make changes..

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk

Right now, when I download this latest raw version of bbPress and activate it in my local environment it doesn’t do the trick it should do for me. bbPress native styles will not load frontend and in the dashboard the icon font is broken, probably lots more doesn’t work like normal.

I just want to install a clean and lean bbPress version only in raw alpha/beta state.

Thanks,

I just checked that someone has installed bbPress Notify (No-Spam) plugin. This could be actually the cause of the problem. I will test it and let you know if I find what is going on.

Thank you very much for your help 🙂

Problem/Scenario – On my website (http://dcjtech.info/) using the latest version of WordPress, BBPress, and BuddyPress, I closed a topic in my forum. Now, the tags belonging to the closed topic are listed as “empty topic tags”. This issue is always reproducible.

Specific Example – For instance, I closed a topic (http://dcjtech.info/topic/lindows/) and then I see under “Dashboard > Topic > Topic Tags” that “linspire” has a count of zero. Also, in the BBPress statistics widget, it says there are twenty “empty topic tags”. However, http://dcjtech.info/tag/linspire/ lists the Lindows topic as a topic with the “linspire” tag.

Question – Why do these “empty topic tags” appear/form when closing a topic and how can it be fixed and prevented?

Sorry for the late reply, I just approved your topic.

Does it not work like this if you enabled the forum prefix??

http://yoursite/forums/view/latest-topics/

Also if you used the view shortcodes, it should be that specific page url.

These two bbpres shortcodes I added to my Main Menu are not working. They were working fine yesterday but not it says ‘That page can’t be found’.

Sorry for the late reply, I just approved this post.

The topic you went to is 5 years ago when bbPress was a standalone forum software but the latest version of bbPress IS A PLUGIN of WordPress.

If you are using the latest bbPress plugin, you are using the WordPress dashboard to manage all your topics, replies, and forums.

I’m trying to find the correct filter to jump in on, and the most logical to me was ‘bbp_get_user_role’ but if I try to return from that filter ‘bbp_blocked’ or false all the time (just as a test before I add my logic), it seems to completely ignore my response and keeps using the user’s standard role as decided by BBPress.

What filter can I use to force my own custom roles (I am looking at a custom piece of user meta data to decipher their ability to use the forums and it needs to be dynamic).

Hi,

New to bbpress and wordpress 🙂 I’m trying to install a forum on my main site and I’m facing little issues.

Here is my case:

1. I installed wordpress on my root directory.
2. Then I added the BBPress plugin.
3. Now my forums are loading with this URL structure – example.com/forum/test-forum

I would like my forum to be displayed with this URL structure – example.com/test-forum/

Is there a bbpress fucntion to modify this?
A bbpress function or a plugin is much appreciated rather than a .htaccess rule.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I’ve a caching(?) problem and I’ve no idea how to solve it.

I use bbpress on a single website in a multisite wordpress installation with the [bbp-forum-index] bbcode on a custom page as front page.
Now I realised that then I’m moving topics or deleting some of them the topic- and post-counter as the freshness column doesn’t update. There still seems to be a topic but then clicking on the forum there isn’t.
My first suspect is the cache but after smashing the F5 button and manually clearing the browser cache it’s still there. Also topics deleted a long time ago are still in the freshness column but not in the topic- and post-counter.
We’re not using any caching plugins. The only thing that comes near a caching plugin is the plugin wordfence that has a caching option, but that function is disabled. I also deactivated the plugin but nothing changed.

Now I’m quite confused. Does someone know of any problems with following plugins?

What I’ve tried:
– deactivating wordfence
– use the Twenty Fifteen theme instead of evolve (on a test page same result if I move topics between different main categories or parent forums)

What I use:
– WordPress 4.3
– bbPress 2.5.8
– evolve theme 3.4.3 with a child theme
on http://hackish.codes/hcforum/
test website: http://hackish.codes/testpage/

These plugins are active together with bbpress (on both the test website and the productive forum):
– Breadcrumb NavXT 5.2.2
– Redux Framework 3.5.7
– Wordfence Security 6.0.15
– WPML Multilingual CMS 3.2.6 (active on multisite but deactivated through the WPML intern deactivation)
– WP Statistics 9.5.3
– BuddyPress 2.3.3
– WP Hide Admin Bar 2.0
– Orbisius Child Theme Creator 1.2.8

It is a members only Forum, so I have registered a test account for you.

Username: bbpress
Password: bbpress

Thanx

[nanomamnews]

I believe I found out the problem. The test user I created had valid permissions, but he never clicked on the email sent during registration. The forum works for a normal, old, email checked user.

I just tested on my test site, and I do not really see an issue with the OG tags. Maybe there is something else. You may need to try some troubleshooting.

You might want to test the importer on WAMP first to get the feel of how it works and is set up.

You should be able to style your forums before or after. You are just moving data over while importing.

[TJR3217]

thanks casiepa. i agree with you on open source, but that is a separate issue. if my comments were taken as slamming bbpress, that was not intended. i am just direct and make my comments based on the results i am getting. i do not have issue with anything else on the site and all other email notifications are working. on the other hand, it is worth noting that i believe i have isolated the problem. i will post here on the details if all tests work out correctly.

[TJR3217]

No. I just installed it and am running the latest version of wordpress. I have not used it before, but it seems rather clunky to be honest and I am no novice. This is the first site where I have required a forum, so it is not a good first impression. It has been around a long time and I am surprised it is so dodgy. The site on which I am using it is live, so I must a wait until later to try to deactivate several plugins, but I will let you know what happens after I do. I see a lot of replies on this and many plugin suggestions for something that should be very, very simple. I will wait and see.

hi friends,

Me too, breadcrumb is not showing only in forum pages.

Previously i had WordPress SEO plugin. Now disabled that too. But still i am not getting breadcrumb. No code is done. Latest bbpress has been installed as it is.

Please help

Thanks

[Robkk]

Sorry, I forgot all about your topic. Whenever I contacted the devs awhile ago, they were very busy with other bugs, tasks, tests. It might be best to hire a developer for the import as we are being backed up with other things in the bbPress plugin. Stephen might come and reply to your posts in sometime, but maybe not soon as I explained they seem busy.

You may also need to wait it out with SMF until we get the issues with the importer resolved.

[Robkk]

You may need to run some repair tools like Lynq did in this plugin.

Test Data for bbPress – Plugin

Running more than one repair tool can be resource intensive so be careful.

@ximie90

do you know that the default WordPress login page is yoursite.com/wp-login.php and the direct link to the WordPress backend (Administration area) is yoursite.com/wp-admin?

So you renamed wp-login.php to newadmin. And after you login you are redirected to the dashboard at wp-admin.

I am starting to think this is not really an issue.

I also did test the dashboard access plugin and didn’t really see an issue from it either. Maybe the redirect url you inputted in that plugin may be causing an issue?? I am not sure.

Why does the forum only show up when I update it manually via backend?
Anyone any idea what this could be?

I’ve tried different roles; Moderator + Keymaster. Still getting the same result, everything does work – beside showing it in the frontend.Tho, after updating the forum within the backend it shows up in the frontend.

Thanks.

// Create FORUM Entry object
	  $my_forum = array(
		'post_title'    => 'title',
		'post_content'  => 'test',
		'post_status'   => 'private',
		'post_author'   => $_POST['post_author'], //also tried admin '1',
		'post_type' => 'forum',
		'post_parent' => '123'	// parent forum
	  );
	  // Insert the post into the database
	  $page_id = wp_insert_post( $my_forum );

Hi all,

Just setting up my new forum using the latest versions of wordpress and bbpress, but Im having trouble handling user registration.

Ive used the forum login widget to handle logins in my sidebar, but im not happy with registration. I created a new page called registration and added the shortcode [bbp-register]. But this is really basic and not what a am looking for at all, unless its possible to edit it somehow, something I am fairly sure cannot be done to a shortcode?

Does anyone have any suggestion as to what login and registration plugins are good to use? Or anyone know what this bbpress site uses to handle its login and registrations, that looks good handling both functions in one tidy box in a single area.

Thanks for you help in advance.

🙂

What troubleshooting did you already do? Did you already do the plugin and theme troubleshooting?

Troubleshooting

Also sometimes it may not necessarily be a caching plugin, it could also be other thing caching your site, like cloudflare, hosting server cache, something like that.

You can always test your sites theme/plugins on a test server.

[Robkk]

Tested it out on your site and I saw the issue. I don’t really have a fix for this yet but I know another guy that had something similar and I wonder if something in your guys set-ups could be causing the issue.

I emailed you some questions to help me try to pinpoint the issue.

If I still can’t find anything, I will just collect some data and post what you two guys already did and report a bug on the bbPress trac linking to both of your guys topics.

Here you go… Thanks for looking.
