When I edit a reply I get a white screen with a 500 error code. Refreshing the page brings the reply back up just fine.

Running on a dedicated server with plenty of memory, tested with multiple themes, including twenty fifthteen, and even made sure the wordpress memory was increased in the wp-config.php file.

Anything else I can do to get rid of this issue?

I’m not sure what you pasted above is the same as the original file I worked on with @inspirationally but here is a link to the latest copy I have, maybe try this version and go from there to ensure there are no errors in the version/revision you are using.

https://gist.github.com/ntwb/41b8bb57df78d1a1bd01

Next up after that though I’m going to need some MySQL information on what the differences are between the database schema of WBB3 which the above was made for versus WBB4 which your trying to use it on? Do you have a DB schema for WBB4 or link to one via their site?

I thought in my search of the forums here I had found something saying they no longer supported 3.0.x conversions and now only supported 3.1.x.

It the opposite for the current version , but when 2.6 comes out 3.1 will only be supported.

And the link you sent, what is that for? Is that just showing how to amend the phpbb conversion film? I’m not quite clear.

Basically you needed to see the reply to the topic. Use the patch and see if it fixes your import.
Of course try this first on a test site to see if everything is working fine.

I have found a way to hide most notices by CSS. Question is, can I keep it that way, or will there be any important notices not showing up later when the user is interacting with the form:

Well that is the thing , I would have to know what is important to you. The notice that shows when a users post is in moderation might be useful so that they know the moderator has to approve their post , but that will not be in til 2.6 of bbPress. Some plugins might hook into that , and some notices might be for post flooding and maybe some users might think their is a bug on your site if they do not know why they couldn’t post.

The Topic/Forum descriptions could also be removed with some PHP using this function and you can place it in a plugin like this.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/functionality/

It should be Plugins > Edit Functions. You can place any code snippet you might see useful into this.

You can place the snippet after the plugin information.

add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_forum_description', 'ja_return_blank' );

add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_topic_description', 'ja_return_blank' );

function ja_return_blank() {

    return '';

}

The users plugin you suggest is from 2 years ago; I would not install that. I am told again and again by my hoster and main plugin providers that old plugins are one of the greatest vulnerabilities.

It should be fine , it is a fairly small plugin and very well coded.

You can see the plugins main code functionality in the link below. There is also an empty languages folder and a readme.txt file also in the plugin.

https://gist.github.com/jaredatch/3868274

And then I had to turn off the buttons for html because they are badly formatted, barely legible in white text on light-grey background.

You can fix that with some CSS too. Here is a simple black background to fix it.

#bbpress-forums #qt_bbp_reply_content_toolbar input,
#bbpress-forums #qt_bbp_topic_content_toolbar input {
  background-color: #000;
}

I also would like to offer my clients a possibility to create a profile page with some background on themselves and the business project they are working on.

There is a bunch of plugins that add custom fields like BuddyPress some premium plugins add social features too , just like BuddyPress. The thing I am guessing you want is to highlight it on the Home of the users profile page with the forum role and user stats. This would require some PHP coding to achieve. By default the user can add a description and it would show up on the front-end , nothing too crazy.

Hello robkk,

Thank you very much for your answers. They helps me get started.

I have found a way to hide most notices by CSS. Question is, can I keep it that way, or will there be any important notices not showing up later when the user is interacting with the form:

/* bbpress */
div.bbp-template-notice.info {
display: none;
}

div.bbp-template-notice {
display: none;
}

The bbpress pages cause me headaches. The original bbpress pages for forum index and user page all come out unformatted in my theme, practically useless. I have created a forums page by using shortcodes for forum index and topics index. That is well formatted and informative. But only with one level of hierarchy.

The users plugin you suggest is from 2 years ago; I would not install that. I am told again and again by my hoster and main plugin providers that old plugins are one of the greatest vulnerabilities. Isn’t there a way to block all access to pages containing mysite/forums/users/* in .htaccess or something like that?

And then I had to turn off the buttons for html because they are badly formatted, barely legible in white text on light-grey background.

I also would like to offer my clients a possibility to create a profile page with some background on themselves and the business project they are working on. I have tried BuddyPress but it is not for me. I cannot code and this seems to be necessary to effectively use BuddyPress. So, I have not found a good solution for that yet. For the moment I have chosen to go with the wordpress.com/gravatar profiles and encourage people to introduce themselves and their project in the forum.

Hi,

I was trying to customise my theme and the next thing I know is I can’t access my website anymore. White screen.

First, i went to my files in cpanel and deleted the bbpress plugin. Not fixed.

Then I set the WP_DEBUG to true in wp-config.php file and this is the message i got:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function listify_theme_mod() in /home2/saba2359/public_html/wodchaser.com/wp-content/plugins/code-snippets/includes/snippet-ops.php(446) : eval()’d code on line 5

Please somebody help me.

I have been searching and reading forums about this for 12 hours and I still have no idea at all what to do about it.

Note: WordPress and bbpress is latest version (newly installed and updated)

[monica44]

Hi All,

My site is http://www.buyineastvale.com

I am using the latest version of WordPress.

I downloaded the bbPress plugin to use for my site’s forum.

Now I want to add a page of Forum FAQ’s as a sub-page underneath the “Forum” parent page.

However, when I create a new page on my site’s back end and then designate the “Forum” page as its parent page and upload it, that page on my site then gives me a message on the front end when clicking on it that says “Sorry, no such page. It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching, or one of the links below, can help.”

For the sake of this example, I created a page called “My Name Is” and assigned its location as a sub-page (with “Forum” being its parent page on the back end). And when clicking on the “My Name Is” page on the front end, I get the same “Sorry, no such page” message.

This leads me to believe it is an issue with bbPress (and not my theme, which is Weaver Xtreme).

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you SO MUCH in advance!

[RemcoH]

Not yet. The problem is not with full-width pages but with content-sidebar pages:) https://bfgv.nl/forums/zoeken/test/

Still cant figure out how to isolate the forum from the rest of the site’s css.

[Robkk]

Thanks for testing out the patch, I might need to contact @netweb to see if there are any issues with it or maybe something else during your import.

[Robkk]

going to yoursite.com/topics shows all the latest topics.

You can manually add a link to it in the menus section.

Hi,

Love the pluggin and it was working fine on my website (http://www.spirulinaacademy.com/forum/) until a couple of weeks ago when I “lost” the possibility to login.

The readers can’t login anymore to post on the forum.

Tried to fix it myself for the past few weeks but haven’t been successful. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I use the latest version of BBpress – Version 2.5.7 with the theme Renden – WP Version 4.2.2

Thanks

Hi !

I have BuddyPress + bbPress installed together.

I have a BuddyPress private group which have a private forum and several private sub-forums. The problem I have is regular members (with participant permissions) can’t access to the sub-forums of the group forum because it takes moderator permissions to see private topics and replies. And sub-forums are not mapped with the group.

All I want to do is a read-only/read-write forum : non members of the group can see the forum, sub-forums, topics, and replies, but only members can post replies and topics. I have looked for a plugin or a hack for 5 days, no solution.

As a quick fix, I set the sub-forums as public, but now everyone can post a topic and a reply, which is bad.

I also tried to give to participants read permissions on private topics, it worked on other private forums, but not on the group sub-forums.

I tested almost all memberships/roles/capabilities plugins available nowadays for the latest WP… I even took a look on bbpress and buddypress hooks but their documentation are still uncomplete for developpers.

So please, have you some hints ?

[RobertL4807]

Like the
/forums/view/no-replies/
or
/forums/view/popular/
I would like to have a “latest posts” page.
Is there a plugin for this?; because I cannot seem to find one.

Thank you in advance,
RobertL

[Stagger Lee]

Forgot this, very important. Cannot test it now, dont have so huge forum. And dont want to touch database just to test.

For Users with over 50.000 posts and up to infinite:

elseif($post_count >= 50001) {
echo '<div class="all-stars"><i class="svg-icon nine-star"></i></div>';
}

[thoracic]

I’ve a site that I’ve been generating on a temp domain. I started building the ‘live’ site on another domain.
On the test site, bbpress integrated quite nicely, placing itself in the ‘main’ column, leaving the sidebars as they were (left & right).
On the live site, the sidebars disappear on any of the forum pages.
(???)
Using the latest WP (4.2.2), bbpress (2.5.7) & a raindrops child theme (1.0.1435411886)
any help greatly appreciated

[Robkk]

THere is some solutions that might work but not a 100% , you might need to test this out in a test site first.

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-displayname-nicknames-unique
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/82239/make-display-name-unique

[Robkk]

It might be a javascript issue , I just had to mess with a popular theme framework for a user to fix a bug in bbPress.

And it was some javascript file from the theme conflicting with bbPress.

So contact them to see if they can test that out.

Hi,

I am setting up a deployment site using BackupBuddy and wanted to kind of start with a fresh install of WordPress rather than just move my entire site and all of the files over all at once. I have tested out a lot of plugins in the past and I am always a bit of a clean freak and a little paranoid about what files the old plugin left or things they configured, so settings up a new WordPress installation from scratch and just moving over the plugins and data I use would be ideal (I think) since this way would leave all the unused files and old stuff behind.

So basically BackupBuddy told me to contact each plugin author to make sure that all of the files I would need to transfer that their plugin uses are located in their plugin’s folder.

Is this true? If there are any files that your plugin uses that aren’t in your plugins folder, could you let me know where they are located so that I can configure BackupBuddy to send those as well?

Thanks

Hello to everybody,

I am currently working on a BBPRESS installation. I have 2 diferent parts on my website : a Blog AND a Forum.

I have a parent page for all my forums called “Forums” So, in my main nav, I have 2 items : “Blog” and “Forums”.

When I click on “Forums” in the nav, I go to the parent page of all my forums. In the nav, the item “Forums” gets the following classes in the HTML :
.menu-item menu-item-type-post_type .menu-item-object-page .current-menu-item .page_item .page-item-20 .current_page_item menu-item-22

Now, when I click on one of my forums, “forum 1” for exemple, my item “Forums” in the nav gets the folowing classes :
.menu-item .menu-item-type-post_type .menu-item-object-page .menu-item-22

and the item “blog” get the classes :
.menu-item .menu-item-type-post_type .menu-item-object-page .menu-item-23 .current_page_parent

I mean that “forum 1” should be a child page of “Forums” ?
Instead, it seems to be a child element of the blog. Does anybody know how to fix this ?

I have the latest version of wordpress and bbpress, work locally with Mamp, using Twenty15 as a theme.

If somebody have a solution, it would be great, thanks for your attention.

Guillaume

Hello Oyeben6, i have the same issue than you. Have you find any solution to solve this problem ?

I have the latest version of wordpress and BBpress, Twenty Fifteen as a principal theme, no other plugin working, reinstalled everything 2 times, changed the permalinks but work locally.

Thanks for your kind answer and have a nice day

Hi, not yet.

I changed that page to a fullwidth page. The issue with the padding remains. I tried to use some other css but that also effects the bbpress layout.

See this page where the output is still with a padding: https://bfgv.nl/forums/zoeken/test/

How can I remove the padding here without effecting the rest?

[daniel84uk]

Using latest version of all plugins.

So i am wanted to disable all forum notifications, as i get endless new reply notifications.

I have removed all code from the file

/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/notifications.php

leaving only <?php

Which after testing seems to do what i want.

I realise this isnt the correct method, can anyone point advise me on the proper way to do this, do i use a series of remove_actions ?

Thank you 🙂

[Robkk]

Ajax comments might affect this , I think , I had a theme awhile ago that would mess with reply threading if I had Ajax comments enabled. If you have ajax comments then disable that and see if it works.

Other than that , you can allow me to test how your reply threading is doing. You can create me an account for your site with subscriber/participant capabilities and send the login information to my email.
