Hi,

I am building a forum (http://144.130.51.45/~bslifestyle/forums/forum/bespoke-lifestyles-forum/) with BBPress Version 2.5.7 and can’t get the sidebar to show up on either the page listed or what may be the forum index (http://144.130.51.45/~bslifestyle/forums/). I have contacted the support team for the theme I am using (Dante) and they have said:

“Hi,

Just checked and the same is happening with the other WordPress themes.
You have the latest version of the plugin but looks something is wrong.

Try to upload the plugin files again, if it don’t work you should contact BBPress support to help you to show the sidebar.”

Can I have some help getting the sidebar to display?

Also, as an aside, how can I get sidebars to show up on other forum pages? I have tried multiple plugins and so far none have worked (may be related to the original issue).

Thanks

I am pretty much out of ideas as to what to do.

Our website is http://www.geekgirlpenpals.com

We have Godaddy managed wordpress hosting. I call their customer support and they have no idea what’s wrong.

We were using the Hueman theme for a long time, and suddenly yesterday the BBpress plugin began acting up and causing a 500 internal server error. It caused those errors on both Posts and Forums. The error only appears to people who are logged in.

Once I deactivated BBpress, the error was gone (but so were the forums)

Since I knew it was BBpress, I uninstalled and reinstalled BBpress plugin. That did not fix it

I turned on the Twenty Fourteen theme and that seems to show the forums fine. So I went ahead and installed a new theme, thinking it must be a theme issue.

The theme worked great for about 5 hours and showed the forums and blog (while logged in, which is when the problem was occuring) but now as of 5 minutes ago – exact same problem.

Feel free to use username jimbob and password jimbobsauce to test the Internal Server Error

HELP 🙁

Revival!

It gets hilariously worse when running a MultiSite – Calling a SubSite “Forum” – then working around this issue. The bigger your site, the less you want everything to weigh for User loading and Server handling. There’s now an option in the bbPress Settings called ‘Prefix all forum content with the Forum Root slug (Recommended)’ – I’ve unchecked it. I’m willing to bet I run into *at least* one hundred different user issues now that I’ve done so. This was definitely designed for the smaller blog, even with it’s latest updates I’m having unrelated issues not addressed in documentation.

I’m an advanced User, too. As cool as BuddyPress is, it’s pretty much useless without bbPress integration. As much as people would like to pretend (yep, you’re dreaming) their running their own “social media website”, it’s an unrealistic dream compared to running a Forum. Financing that dream over the Forum is poor form, but w/e.

By the time it gets addressed, the advanced users with thousands of of hits a day wont change it. Why? Because of the Social Media Integration like Facebook, Twitter, and G+ – NOT BUDDYPRESS (which I run for other much different *fluffy* reasons). Likes and Shares are gold, it’s networking and sales. We will weigh our links; SHARING LINKS and LIKES; over making the url pretty for SEO at that point… no matter how terrific the fix.

8 years too late pretty much. I know it’s community driven – and that’s respectable. Doesn’t change the bigger picture, though, and imo this plugin outweighs BuddyPress in importance concerning the current evolution of WordPress itself.

Just so you guys know WordPress comes with its own emoticons and also since the latest version you can post emojis.

wp-monalisa is a good plugin for custom smilies and stickers though.

It also has a cool feature to import some phpBB smiley packs.

Found the patch, it needs lots of testing and I haven’t had the time to take even a cursory look at it yet https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2731, so lets leave that aside for now.

The code is here, I’m not sure your level of PHP knowledge but I’ll just add the link to it for now and will follow up after you’ve had a look at the code:

Recalculating the topic for each post … Complete!
Recalculating the forum for each post … Complete!
Recomputing latest post in every topic and forum… Complete!

Trying “replies” tab:
No data received
ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

Recalculate the position of each reply loads for a while and than get’s white screen.

P.S. I already wrote about that. When i try to import not millions, but just 2 replies for the test, – have the same trouble (replies tab doesn’t open), but “Recalculate the position of each reply” fixes the problem.
But it just don’t work for millions (

@mmice

bbPress v2 does not have a bb_posts database table , that is in bbPress v1 standalone. Which is what @netweb is referring that you are trying to import into the old v1 version even though your suppose to import to the latest version.

All of bbPress data is stored inside of the WordPress database tables.

In this guide I explain it.

Stored Database Data

[allmyhoney]

Hi there, I hoping someone can help me here. I have noticed that when a user posts for the very first time on my forum this error attached here is generated: http://i59.tinypic.com/ru5out.jpg

I think its some error related to the avatar being generated for the first time. When a user goes to post a second and third post and so on all is well. I am not sure if its something I need to fix on the server or in the plugin. I am using the latest version 2.5.7 of bbpress.

Maybe someone has seen this before and has a solution to it? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance, James

I am having trouble getting my userpro avitars or profile pictures to be displayed on the bbpress home page and topics page where its says “freshness” or “latest post”. The profile pictures do show up when you go into a topic and reply but not on the home page. I want the little picture next to posters name under “freshness” or “latest post”. What code would i have to change and where can i find it? Im using a custom theme by the way.

[Omar]

Hi Robin W, thank you for providing the above code! It is just what I’ve been looking for!

I have a question. When I was testing, I noticed if I entered invalid login info, there was no redirect or error message, but it did display that in my address bar. What accounts for what happens on login failure?

Here is a sample that displayed in my browser after login failure:

Upside

The site I’m testing on is this one:

http://www.rashedlightsways.com

Also, small second question. It happens often that I’m on a site that I *think* I’ve registered on, but haven’t. If someone enters a login that is not correct AND that username doesn’t currently exist, is there a way to redirect to the registration page WITH that username?

So, for example, I type in username: MyFaveUser pw: 1234, and it doesn’t exist in my user table, so the user is redirected to “Hey, MyFaveUser doesn’t exist, but you can register with it! It’s available!” and then autofill the username field with MyFaveUser and leave the pw field blank?

I’ve been trying to bridge together new user registration and login in one field, and thought that might be a way to do it.

Thank you so very much!

To Whom It May Concern,

I’m trying to configure forums properly for my site and for some reason the forum samples that I created from my back end are not showing up on my http://www.myloopnetwork.com website under the “Forums” tab. So I went to check out the Error Log from my hosting plan back end and saw this message:

20150609T144202: http://www.myloopnetwork.com/index.php
WordPress database error Table ‘wordpress_iomdefe35a.wp_jgts_bb_forums’ doesn’t exist for query DESCRIBE wp_jgts_bb_forums; made by require(‘wp-blog-header.php’), require_once(‘wp-includes/template-loader.php’), do_action(‘template_redirect’), call_user_func_array, bp_template_redirect, do_action(‘bp_template_redirect’), call_user_func_array, bp_screens, do_action(‘bp_screens’), call_user_func_array, bp_forums_directory_forums_setup, do_action(‘bbpress_init’), call_user_func_array, bp_forums_load_bbpress

There were a lot of other errors listed on that log but I already spoke to a representative of my hosting plan service and he said that he doesn’t see any other errors on that log from his end, except this one and another error (which I’m currently trying to resolve with the BuddyPress plug in moderators). So is there a reason why the above message is showing up? Please let me know what necessary steps I must take to get this resolved.

I’m currently testing everything out on the latest version of the Twenty Fifteen theme (ideally, I want to use this Magnus WordPress Theme [1.6 Version] for my site), I only have the BuddyPress plug in (now running a 2.3.1 version), the bbPress plug in (now running a 2.5.7 version) and a W3 Total Cache plug in (running a 0.9.4.1 version) currently activated. My hosting provider is with iPage, which is running a 5.0 PHP version and is running NGINX for their server. I hope all this info will be helpful in figuring out what’s going on. Any feedback or any other suggestions you may have will be greatly appreciate it.

Thank you in advance.

I have one question.
In the page “Forum Replies Created”, can I show my replies data only?
If I can, which php file is, and how do I change code?
Or if I need to apply certain WordPress plugin, what is it?

The page “Forum Replies Created” shows all replies data which contains my relied data.
I’d like not to show other user’s replies data.

[johodges]

Thank you, Robin. I had done a post of my own to test, which worked. However, it now seems to be solved due to an update on Simple WordPress Membership (at least, it’s now visible, which is a relief). Fingers crossed!

[Robin W]

so we need to work out if

a) it is this individual post
or
b) the first reply of any topic

You’ll need to do some testing to establish which and come back

[johodges]

I have set up a website for a local horticultural society with a forum restricted to society members. For the forum, I’m using bbpress; for the membership registration I’m using Simple WordPress Membership. I’m using the customizr theme and the latest version of WordPress. My problem is that, with our 1st topic, the first reply is hidden. I cannot find a way of unhiding it. I’ve posted a reply myself, which is visible, and tried reposting the text of the hidden reply. When I do this, I get van email altering me to the reply but still nothing is visible on the website. Please can someone help? The website is http://www.growchiswick.org.

Many thanks,

Jo Hodges

Hi guys!

looking at these forums, I can see the @name name is printed beneath the profile picture.
How can I turn this on in my website?
I’ve uploaded a beta of my website here

Is there an auto suggestion option for the mentions?
example, if somebody starts typing @bor he/she will be suggested @boris-kamp?

Thanks!

[samuel-guzman]

I just installed bbpress on a brand new site. I have created a couple of test forums and topics. On the forum root it shows that there are topics and posts in the forums. However, when I click on a specific forum to view the topics, I get the following message: “Oh bother! No topics were found here!”

By way of troubleshooting, I tried another WordPress theme. It worked, and the forums displayed as they should. Is there a way I can keep my current WordPress theme from conflicting with bbpress? I have no idea what is causing the conflict, only that it is being caused by the theme I am using. I don’t want to change themes, either.

[PinkishHue]

This plugin is great (from what I’ve seen so far while testing)

Thanks for posting the link.

I hope this sort of feature can become part of the core bbpress plugin in future.

[PinkishHue]

It does seem tricky to set this sort of thing up (hopefully to be improved in future versions of bbpress?).

One way to do this, although not the most robust option, would be to simply hide the new topic form for everyone but keymasters/admins when viewing that particular forum.

I will assume you are accessing your new topic form when viewing the individual forum (it’s trickier if you are using the new topic form where you choose which forum to post to instead of/as well as individual forms in each section. This is what’s used here on the bbpress.org forums for example. If you need a solution for this as well let us know, I’m sure someone can explain how to do that)

This is just off the top of my head and not tested (hopefully someone more experienced will be able to advise better) – in wp-content/your-theme/bbpress/form-topic.php (create this file if it’s not already in your theme, copy the original from wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/

At the top of the file, after this code:

<?php

/**
 * New/Edit Topic
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

?>

Add this code to check if you are in your news forum (here I’ve used forum id ‘5’ as an example, you’ll have to find the specific id for your forum) and if the user is an admin (there may be a better to do this using the keymaster role instead of the usual WP role but I don’t know about that):

<?php if ( bbp_is_single_forum( '5' ) && current_user_can( 'manage_options' )) : ?>

Then at the very end of the file close the if statement by adding this:

<?php endif; ?>

That should work as far as I know but I am still finding my way with bbpress so can’t say for definite. Good luck!

Hello,

My search function didn’t work for a good while (a search was redirecting to the homepage), and I realized today that it was an issue with buddypress or plugins I used with buddypress.
Now that I disabled Buddypress, I can now search the forum again but unfortunately, the search results are protected by a password.
I use s2member to protect one of my forum, so it is only accessible to subscribers, but all the other forums are opened. I tried to lift the s2member block of the subscribers forum but still the same thing happens anyway.
I also tested the issue with twenty fifteen and the same thing happened.

I am using bbpress Version 2.5.7, WordPress Version 4.2.2
Site is http://www.tourdecartes.com

Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂

[Robkk]

hmmm you might need @netweb’s help on this one.

You might need to update phpBB (but not to the latest 3.0) but I am not entirely sure.

[mmice]

I just ran a test, – tried to import just 2 replies (by DB), – see white page (No data received ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE) @ the “Replies” section in admin.
After i ran “Recalculate the parent topic for each post”, “Recalculate the parent forum for each post”, “Recalculate the position of each reply” – problem get fixed.

Now i import all the 3M+ replies. I’m able to run only “Recalculate the parent topic for each post”, “Recalculate the parent forum for each post”. “Recalculate the position of each reply” fails with white page. The “Replies” section in admin is white (((

Hello.

I’d like to solve problem.
Would anyone answer to my problem?

Firstly, the conditions of WordPress, bbPress, design theme, plugin, and function.php are below.
Wordpresss: Latest version
bbPress: Latest version
design theme: Original building
plugin: introduced “bbPress – Sort topic replies”.
The settings of this plugin are “Global:Descending”, “No Parent:Default”, and “Always show lead Topic:Yes”.
function.php: Below code exists.

add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args', 'change_reply_order');
function change_reply_order() {
	$args['order'] = 'DESC';
	return $args;
}

add_filter('bbp_show_lead_topic', 'custom_bbp_show_lead_topic' );
function custom_bbp_show_lead_topic( $show_lead ) {
  $show_lead[] = 'true';
  return $show_lead;
}

Then, here is main topic.
The function of bbPress itself is that after the user replies to the parent topic in topic page, next screen shows the last page(the page of max number) if the pagination shows.
With the setting of “bbPress – Sort topic replies” plugin is under “Global:Descending”, the redirection which I expect is to go to the first page.
I think that this solution isn’t https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-replies-redirect-to-last-page/

I’ve searched and tried to solve the problem, however I can’t find the solution.
I wonder my current settings or ways might be wrong.

Thanks.

Same Issue, I am using the latest version of bbpress and buddypress.

Strict Standards: Declaration of BBP_Forums_Group_Extension::display() should be compatible with BP_Group_Extension::display($group_id = NULL) in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/supernova/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/groups.php on line 28

I’ve been working hard at setting up a site for my podcast and things had been going swimmingly, but while looking around at some RSS feed import widgets and such today, somehow I seem to no longer have working BBpress forums. It doesn’t seem like it would be related, but who knows?

The forums still show in my dashboard, and I was able to create a forum page by hand and get it to show the index with shortcode, but when I click on any of the forum links, it gives me a page not found error. It seems to do so even if I swap to one of the bundled 201x themes.

The RSS widget I was testing out is RSS Multi Import 3.15 and I’m running WordPress 4.2.2 with the Generate Press theme 1.2.9.8 and BBpress 2.5.7. Website is http://www.whitebookpodcast.com.

I’m a quite a newb to delving in to WordPress stuff, so I have to admit that I’m at a loss. Any thoughts on possibilities?
