Yes, I did.
I created a fresh install of wordpress here: test.webshrimp.uk
The only plugin activated is bbpress and the logout doesn’t work. As soon as it is deactivated the logout link works. It is 100% bbpress causing the issue. I don’t know why it is appending redirect links to the logout button either.
Thanks

What is the error??

I have my localhost server running the latest WordPress and bbPress and I do not see an issue.

I also tested one of my live test sites, and still do not see an issue.

[drinkingsouls]

I created a fresh install of WordPress and bbpress here:
test.webshrimp.uk
BBpress is currently activated, note how the logout links are not working. As soon as I deactivate Bbpress it works fine

[drinkingsouls]

Basically when I activate bbPress on my blog the log out links no longer work. It seems to append a redirect to the end of log out links which prevents it from working. I’m not sure why but it’s definitely to do with bbPress.

Here is the logout anchor tag when bbPress is deactivated (works)
<a href="http://test.webshrimp.uk/wp-login.php?action=logout&_wpnonce=1ef350795a">Log out</a>

Here is the anchor tag when bbPress is activated – doesn’t do anything
<a href="http://test.webshrimp.uk/wp-login.php?action=logout&_wpnonce=1ef350795a&redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Ftest.webshrimp.uk%2F%3Floggedout%3Dtrue">Log out</a>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

the first kuena link the forums look too busy.

Second link is what I was talking about but for bbPress, make it look cleaner. I have made something kind of similar, not exact but some parts are similar. (I know the icons are off a bit, idk what I did to mess them up, but they were fine before.)

the third and fourth link remind me of old bb boards, some phpbb inspiration I can see though.

Almost all of those Github plugins have almost non discussions, issues, requests. It doesnt mean they are perfect, it means they will be abandoned very soon. As much you here would abandon bbPress if nobody used it and nobody come to this forum. As much Drupal core and other Drupal developers abandoned Drupal forum because nobody used it. So simple.

I get what you are saying but what about plugin forks or just plugins with similarities.

Here are the other github plugins and their alternatives and why I might and might not fork them.

• VIP support -> bbpress-VIP-Support-Plugin-for-Latest-WordPress (will think about pushing to WP.org)
• Simple Support -> bbResolutions
• EDD bbPress Support Dashboard (this is a fork of VIP support too and was specific to the EDD site)
• bbPress Spam Cleaner -> This is the plugin that was made for a job for a specific user
• bbPress Report Abuse (needs paid plugin gravity forms) -> bbPress Report Content
• bbPress Avatar -> Basic User Avatars
• bbP Quote -> bbPress Direct Quotes(I said I might add this into a different plugin, and users can also install GD bbPress tools)
• bbPress Ajax Replies (not touching, do not know much about ajax)
• djb bbPress last read plugin -> closest I think to this exact plugin is the one I said I might add to WP.org
• bbPress Live Preview -> Just enable TinyMCE(but I will think about forking it more)

Tell me one thing sincerely. if you so much trust all those plugins why you dont install them here and use it as showcase for newcommers ?

I told you some of the plugins in there could be some ideas for functionality and that is why it is there, which leads to me sprucing up the page again.

[artmuns]

Finally solved my issue by “beating on it”! Thought I would share my answer in hopes others might benefit.

To recap I was getting a 404 Error (Page not found) when trying to access “All Replies” from the admin screen.

I set up a test site, transferred a backup of the site using VaultPress, which made it particularly easy, but any method will work. also made sure I updated the URLs on the test site.

After disabling the plugins I was still getting the problem but could see enough of the “All Replies” page (could not with plugins enabled) to notice that there was 1 item in “draft” and “trash” each. I could not access them from the munged up “All Replies” page I was looking at. I then logged into my cPanel and phpMyAdmin and went to the wp_posts table. Using “Search” I first searched for post_status = draft, post_type = reply I then deleted that record. I next did the same for post_status = trash, post_type = reply.

Problem Solved!

Hope this helps someone else.

I understand, thank you anyway Robkk.. btw I am actually testing another Toolbar Plugin and I am editing some stuff around and my first Test went okay, now I’m just editing that Toolbar Plugin to add up with bbcode.

Hi guys,

I am looking to have the same setup these guys https://ultimatemember.com/forums/

Page 1: A Page that shows all my forums
Page 2: A Page that shows the topics of each forum
Page 3: A Page that shows the replies of each topic.

Simple simple.

Here is my website: http://sincebeingsingle.com/forums/

Fyi: I am using the latest versions of WordPress, bbpress and Bridge theme (from themeforest).
Fyi: I am a bit of a newbie at this.

Issue 1:

The first issue I’ve got is when you click ‘Forum One’, it shows the message, ‘This forum contains 1 topic, and was last updated by…” but doesn’t actually show the topic.

Issue 2:

When I click on ‘Forum One’ I’d like it to go to a page where the yellow header banner replicates title of the forum. And that goes the same for, clicking on a topic and a reply.

The Ultimate Members forum above is the best example of this. You can see that each blue header banner has the title of the forum, topic and reply.

fyi:

I have got the forum working for the bbpress-forum index using [bbp-forum-index] shortcode. My header banner is showing perfectly as I have designed the page for the forum to sit on.

I’m struggling with getting the topics and replies sitting on a wordpress page that I’ve designed.

I am literally going around in circles trying to work out how to get my bbpress to sit within my own WordPress pages.

(I would like the same setup as UM, where the Forum page has the Forum title in the blue banner, Topic page has the Top title in the blue banner and Reply page has the Reply title in the blue banner).

Any guidance or step by step instructions would be massively appreciated from bbpress community.

[pankalkulator]

Have the same issue. Will test it as well.

[Robkk]

Here I made a topic for you, just for this issue.

Take a picture of the error message you receive when you cannot create a topic.

I will try to see if I can duplicate the issue on my local development area of the latest alpha, to see what I come up with..

[folgerj]

There is no way to start a topic in any of the forums, I’m logged in but I can only piggy back off this here. I think your Alpha version is tanking. I’m glad you are testing it out but I think you should have another way for us to ask questions…
my forum is http://www.autumnadvice.com

[Robkk]

ok will test it out/ see if I can translate it.

[carmstrongclark]

Hi,

So my issue seems to have been an issue to some other bbpress users in the past:

User profiles: Topics Created and Replies don't show up for me either

But this only solved the “Topics created” issue. That now looks great – but the replies created part is still empty.

Here’s the user profile page:
http://luffit.com/forumtest/users/luvvieclaire/

Any help would be amazing.

[project_subdomain]

I’m using the default backend design -> menu for all my menus. Tested this at the main navigation menu on my usual desktop version. Actual links show up but throw a 404-page only when clicking.

My mobile navigation menu (plugin: Responsive Menu) then simply could use one of those menus.

Should be also possible to make new menu items via functions to one of the menus created in backend design -> menu, right? Already tried this, but really have no idea if the correct slug ID is correct (mobile-menu is the name I gave the menu in backend):

add_filter ('wp_nav_menu_items', 'add_account-link');
function add_account_link ( $items, $args ) {
 if (is_user_logged_in() && $args->menu->slug == 'mobile_menu') {

$items = '<ul><li><a href="#">Account</a></li>';

$items ='<ul><li><a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>" >Profile</a></li>';
$items ='<li><a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>replies" >My replies</a></li>';
$items ='<li><a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>topics" >My topics</a></li>';
$items ='<li><a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>favorites" >My favorites</a></li>';
$items ='<li><a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>subscriptions" >My subscriptions</a></li>';
</ul></ul>;
}
return $items;
    }

I dont ask anything of this be in the core. Just to find some other solution because this now doesnt work well.

Dont ask plugin developers. Is it GPL ? Yes. Use code as you wish and make completely new plugin if you need. Just some of your names stand as Author of plugin.

I see tendencies to become little Joomla community. They dont want to piss off developers of very popular extensions and they never add anything good in the core (dont let “core” confuse use, using it just as example here).

I personally have tweaked bbPress to unimaginable level. It is localhost, but still one Kunena import with many Users, topics and posts. Good for testing. spent huge amount of time on it. Not for the money, nobody would pay all those lost hours, impossible. Because I see potentioal and how WordPress self can make bbPress powerfull. Or buddyPress, I install it all the time together.

But, one thing is very specific for bbPress. I would not dare to touch it as average User, who installs and setup phpbb or SMF forum without big problems. It is extremely hard for beginners, and all those important plugins depending of how will it go in private life of (one) developer, make it much more difficult to touch and maintain.

At least take those 10-12 plugins from Github and put them in WP repository. Dont ask developer, it is GPL. Developer had 2-3 years or more to decide to do it byself, and he did not wanted it.
Problem there is notification about updates.
Just one example, lost many hours to see why Live preview stoped to word and by chance checked on Github versions. If it was in WP repository I would be notificated directly there is an update for it.

[Robkk]

Well I am going to assume that you knew that it should be sequential numbers when ordering the forums. But really this is weird, only cache comes to mind really?? You can try clearing any cache then as a test put the forum list widget in your sidebar to see if it is different there or not.

[Robkk]

@pinkishhue

Yeah there might be a conditional to tell if the user is subscribed, will test it out later though.

[Robkk]

@stagger-lee

I have seen this list but it is not the same as Feature plugins are for WordPress core.

Im trying to spruce up the page on the bbPress codex.

Not of things on list has anything to do with me personally, just using other popular forum scripts as reference.

Anything that BuddyPress already has as a feature and putting it into bbPress is a BIG decision to make, this could shy away from the plugin integration with BuddyPress in bbPress, but it would make bbPress stand on its own compared to other forum solutions though. Most of the features people want could be added by just installing BuddyPress with bbPress. I am starting to think if users want something like Vbull or IP Board they install should install BuddyPress to add any social network features. If users want a simple forum just use bbPress.

Here is what I think of your plugin list, it is just my opinion, my opinion could change depending on how you reply to how I feel about this. Maybe tell us a reason of why to incorporate these features into core vs a plugin. I just want to know what you think, and please do not just tell use that this forum is doing this and that bbPress should have do it also, make it an interesting discussion.

• Live preview – maybe bring TinyMCE back, as long as it doesn’t have issues
• Report content – Josh Eaton’s plugin I think personally is pretty darn good and well developed to stay being a great plugin for awhile. Might have to see how his plugin favors in the 2015 survey for any core considerations though.
• Ignore User – I don’t know really know, this might need some additional functionality somewhere else, maybe plugin territory.
• bbPress moderation panel separate from backend –  I could see improvements on front-end moderation, maybe not exactly similar to the way the backend is set up, but I have ideas.
• Notifications – BuddyPress can add this..
• Make topics/forums read, unread (dont know if it is already in the core) – Not in core, toss up if in core or not, lots of plugins to choose from.already, do not know which one is the most optimal for most sites.
• bbPress TinyMce plugin – Maybe bring TinyMCE back, as long as it doesn’t have issues
• Reply titles – I don’t see a benefit from this, there is already a plugin for this though.
• View counts – I had this implemented on one of my forums using WP PostViews, after awhile I got to thinking that the voice and reply count really do show how popular a certain topic is, especially the voice count. Because the higher the voice count amount the more participation from users and not just back and forth between two people. Plus this will bulk up your database with a bunch of data.
• Topics for posts (very important even if not used on all installations) – Something like this is set for core. The creating a new topic for each blog post and linking to the topic where the comment form is gold. Entirely replacing the comments is where I had thoughts about this and I started to question possible issues that might come forth from this, and also the set up needed to make this work flawlessly.
• Online / Offline status – Don’t know really, I don’t really care either way, it is neat though.
• bbPress Polls (not shortcode based) – Maybe someone should just fork _ck_’s version of polls and make it work for bbPress v2, but this in my opinion this should stay plugin territory.
• Attachments – bbPress definitely needs more support for the import of attachments from other forum solutions, but managing them might shift to BuddyPress because they have the attachment API now, and BuddyPress might handle it better. I could see a simple image upload button in toolbar though.
• Move topics / replies between subforums – Yeah probably needs to be core. Maybe just topics with its own replies, not single replies??
• Avatar management – Same thing with attachments, needs more support for the import of avatars, managing them might be considered a toss up too, maybe BuddyPress/plugin territory, maybe core.
• Like / Vote topics, replies (I personally would never use this one, but..) – Probably plugin territory, I have seen some great plugins for this that are compatible with bbPress though. This also gives the user to have more choices on what to use, a 5 star rating, thumb voting, up down rating, like only topics. There are lots of choices.
• New plugin that makes it easy to add custom fields and add them where you need (this one is not referenced by other forum scripts).- I think you could use Advanced Custom Fields, but I am not entirely sure where you are going with this one??

Take some of those plugis from your list and give them to bbPress core developers. Or ask original developers to sign some of you on list of plugin Authors. For those developers who dont have much free time you have some plugins literally made from one-two PHP files. Just as it is a GPL take ownership from todays developers, or cooperate with them as co-maintainer Author.

Well this is tough sometimes too, contributing is one thing but taking ownership is another. Some devs might not see eye to eye, some have probably have gotten most of their income based on a very popular bbPress plugin.

There are plugins that I have suggested merging into core because they seem to improve areas that bbPress already has, the plugin seemed simple enough to consider thinking about since it is very commonly requested, and also that it would make life easier in some cases. I have also contacted a few developers if they wanted to contribute some have said they would like to see what they made into core, and others have not replied back.

Also some plugins could be very small, that might not mean put it in the plugin anyway.

There is not a lot of core devs in bbPress as one might think to start taking over some plugins while bbPress would have a bug that needs to be fixed, testing, code improvements, and other features added to core that may not exactly be a plugin on WordPress.

If you mean just any other active plugin developer to ask them to take over stuff, well I can’t really tell what they are good at besides making their own plugin. And I don’t want to seem bossy by asking people to do stuff that they might not agree to or have time to.

All those names of developers are very active in core community. Developers of bbPress plugins are not.
Either they abandon plugin and lose lust, dissapear.

WordPress core is very active compared to bbPress, but they are two different things. One is a plugin the other is the entire CMS. Other forum solutions are CMS’s to themselves but bbPress is just a plugin.

If there are some plugins that are abandoned and do not have an alternative/fork that you think the plugin should be resurrected and be contributed to, you can say which plugins here.

I think I got most of your points, if I missed one point it out. Try not to be rude at all or come off as rude, just have a decent discussion.

Thanks.

Please one more thing.
I want to place a login/register form in header which drops the profile on hover as in codex.bbpress.org

I used

<?php if ( $user_ID ) : ?>
<?php wp_head();
global $user_identity;
?>

<p><b>Howdy</b>, <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-admin/profile.php"><?php echo $user_identity; ?></a>.  [<a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url(); ?>" title="Log out of this account">Log Out</a>]</p>

<?php else : ?>

<form name="loginform" id="loginform" action="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-login.php" method="post">

	Username <input value="Username" class="input" type="text" size="20" tabindex="10" name="log" id="user_login" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Username') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Username';}" /> <input name="rememberme" id="rememberme" value="forever" tabindex="90" type="checkbox"> Remember Me? <br />
        Password <input value="Password" class="input" type="password" size="20" tabindex="20" name="pwd" id="user_pass" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Password') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Password';}" />

</form>

<?php endif; ?>

…but on log out the username and password boxes stretchesd fullwith.

Please help.
Thanks

[Robkk]

Tell me, please, when you plan to complete the implementation of this function?

Well I don’t have a say in plugin release dates, but I bet version 2.6 might come out soon with this feature implicated. You know we have to run tests on everything and make sure it does not break something right?? That takes some time too.

Maybe you could recommend any additional plug-ins to solve this problem?

Sorry but no plugins come to mind that have this feature.

[Robkk]

Thanks @Robkk but it doesn’t see to matter what change I want to make.

Yeah I just tested it and it doesn’t work when saving, I guess do not edit your profile right now.

Not a good place for the book to be because if I or someone is getting a 404 error page then we’re not happy and you are linking that to purchasing the book… Just my 2 cents.

Well maybe Rhys Wynne is getting some good out of this haha, the 404s of course are not intentional.

I defintely won’t upgrade until the new version is well tested

It usually is well tested before official release, I wouldn’t consider running anything alpha though.

BBpress or buddy press (what is the difference)

Ones has some features that are in Twitter or Facebook, the other is just forums. Both usually work great together.

Other than that I have used this login here since 2011 when I first played with BBpress and got rid of it after 6 months or so…

I think that was way back in the beta version of bbPress v2. a lot has changed since then.

[folgerj]

Thanks @Robkk but it doesn’t see to matter what change I want to make. I enter with the url you specified: https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/folgerj/edit

And one time I add just my first name and another time I change my website and hit submit and I get the 404 error page which has a copy of the BBpress book to purchase. 🙂

[Robkk]

I made changes and changed my email to what should be over at Gravatar and hit submit and get a 404 error and end up seeing the BBpress book for sale.
I don’t know if it took it or not…. It may not be allowing changes as far as I can tell

@folgerj

It probably didn’t work, and you can could always add additional email addresses to Gravatar. So if you want a specific Gravatar for wordpress/bbpress.org add the email you used on those sites. You can always remove it then change the email on the sites later.

..Curious to know what the bug is/was..could happen to any of our sites too I suppose.

@uncle-jimmy

I think I made an educated guess last week to what commit caused the issue, and Stephen pinpointed the issue. Also the reason the issue is on this site is because this site is running the latest alpha, so this site see any issues first before releasing the next update.

[Sam Rohn]

also respects posts hidden by s2member bbpress level restrictions

i was mistaken, topics hidden by s2member restrictions are hidden, but replies are not hidden in search results when using this snippet

davidddn, you may have another plugin or theme function interfering with this search code, so try testing with default wp theme and disable other plugins etc

otherwise, including bbpress in standard wp search results as a standard option in bbpress would be great
