stagger-lee – thank you very much for the warning/advice. Actually, that makes perfect sense. I went back to the previous topic view (with no large icons). For other sites it might make more sense, so hopefully the topic created here might help someone.

I am going to stick with using forum icons in our main forum view. It adds a great look.

I got some great help from Robkk creating these earlier, but I’m having the same issue. The long forum descriptions are wrapping under the forum icon, as can be seen in the example below with the lock icon.

Any suggestion on how to style the forum description so it doesn’t wrap, but stays to the right of the forum icon?

Here’s a link to our test site:

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hello all,

I’ve a problem with users trying to login on bbpress when using chrome.
They enter their username and password and then the pages refreshes and they are not logged in.
If I try this with a test account on IE it does work normally
I’m at a loss here.

WP version is 4.1.1 and BBpress is 2.5.6
The same thing happens if I use a different theme (Bundled one)
Here’s a link to the site : http://www.animosityonlinegaming.com/

Can anyone point me in the right direction??

[Stagger Lee]

Sorry, my mistake.
Just tested and noticed it is only for topic form, not reply form.

[Stagger Lee]

functions.php:

/**
* webdeveloperswall.com/buddypress/check-if-a-user-is-online
**/
function is_user_online($user_id, $time=5){
	global $wp, $wpdb;
	
	$user_login = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "
SELECT u.user_login FROM $wpdb->users u JOIN $wpdb->usermeta um ON um.user_id = u.ID
WHERE u.ID = $user_id
AND um.meta_key = 'last_activity'
AND DATE_ADD( um.meta_value, INTERVAL $time MINUTE ) >= UTC_TIMESTAMP()
" ,APP_POST_TYPE
));
	if(isset($user_login) && $user_login !=""){
		return true;
	}
	else {return false;}
}

Probably the same process for bbPress alone. Cannot ruin now all to test it.
Font Awesome needs to be activated for frontend. Or more easy, activate Dashicons for frontend and use some other SVG icon.

Some CSS:

.bp-user #buddypress .online .fa-wifi {
	color:green; 
	font-size:22px;
}
.bp-user #buddypress .offline .fa-wifi {
	color:#cf4d35; 
	font-size:22px;
}
.bp-user #buddypress .online, 
.bp-user #buddypress .offline {display:inline-block; text-align:right;float:right;}
.members #buddypress .online-list .fa-wifi {color:green; font-size:15px;}
.members #buddypress .offline-list .fa-wifi {color:#cf4d35; font-size:15px;}

#buddypress .online-list,
#buddypress .offline-list,
#buddypress .offline,
#buddypress .online {font-size:12px;}

I did end up creating a local test environment to find that solution

Having a test environment is something that every site should have !!

Should anyone ever come across this with the same problem I was having, it was the Google Adsense for Responsive Design – GARD by The Plugin Factory, The Digital Hippies plugin that was causing the conflict with bbpress. Once I deactivated the plugin, all of the menu options and functionality were there.

Thanks Robin for the help. I did end up creating a local test environment to find that solution.

[Robin W]

ok, suggest you create a test site and try to fix there

I’m using WordPress 4.1.1 on twentyfifteen them, and bbpress 2.5.6

I’ve created a test forum called ‘A completely spurious forum’ which is set to ‘private’. But when I go there as a logged in user, the heading of the forum is ‘Private: Private: A completely spurious forum’. Where did the two ‘privates’ come from and how do I get rid of them?

You may also want to try the latest development version to see if any bugs have already been fixed that might impact this.

[Robin W]

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 twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

bbpress does not delete any area from which it is importing.

But I would strongly suggest that you have a good backup of the SMF forum before you start, and that when you have migrated, you run a test site for your new WP setup

If you haven’t already, suggest you contact your host provider for a backup.

Deactivating the plugin should not take down your site – sounds like the site bugged whilst deactivating.

Whether you run bbpress or not, if your site is that busy, the you really need a development/backup site – suggest you invest time in creating one see

I am trying to move my Joomla install over to WP, and am having some troubles with the Kunena importer to BBPress.

When I attempt to do the import, it successfully moves over some of the information, but stops every time when it tries to import the topics. It gives me the error:

WordPress database error: [Table ‘******.jos_kunena_topics’ doesn’t exist]

The problem is that I don’t use the jos_ prefix anywhere in my tables, and it seems to be automatically inserting that prefix into the table when trying to import. I imagine the table it’s looking for is not actually jos_kunena_topics, but rather just kunena_topics.

I am using Joomla 2.0.19 with Kunena 3.0.5, attempting to move over to the latest versions of both bbpress and WP.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi
I use the latest version of wordpress and bbpress and the twenty twelve theme.
My users can not check the option “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” so that they receive a notification by email.
The same checkbox I see below this window.

Who can help me out.

Hey everyone. I’m not the most css savvy yet, but I can usually chase down a problem after a while… not this one, it seems. Why is my text outside of the margins on the left side? I’ve already had to add a snippet of code to my theme’s style.css to take care of some strange bullets, but the text was misaligned before doing that as well I think. Thanks for your advice.

http://www.tampere-hema.com/?forum=test-forum

[Robin W]

I’ve just looked and the code I suggested is not there, have you taken it away again?

I tested it on your site and it worked.

Are you sure you reloaded then site afterwards – some browsers remember style.css’s so the changes don’t always seem to have taken unless you refresh them, or shutdown/restart the browser.

[Robin W]

no sorry – I can see nothing wrong with the code – it seems fine, so don’ know why it is doing this.

as long as you have tried

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 twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

which you say you have, then can you list all the forum settings in dashboard>settings> forums in case there’s something in there.

[rynep]

The default WordPress Import/Export tools.

WordPress 3.5.2 (export/old site) -> WordPress 4.1.1 (import/new site)

They’re both running the latest version of bbPress. Is there another tool handy I can utilize?

[teamoo]

Hey @Robkk – I added the code you provided to my child theme’s functions.php. At that point I was able to search my entire site, including the forum, with the main search. And if we cannot figure out what the problem is with the forum search that may be my only option.

But I’d like to keep the two search functions separate at the moment. @robin-w any idea what steps I can take next to get my forum search working? The plugins/theme don’t seem to be the problem at the moment after testing.

Thank you both very much for your help so far!

[acerie]

I just installed bbPress today (Version 2.5.6), and although I have been able to create new forums, every time I try to add a new topic I get “ERROR: Your topic cannot be empty.”

I am using the latest version of the Nirvana theme (version 1.0.5), which is supposedly compatible with bbPress.

I have searched some forums and tried adding the line “define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘128M’);” to wp-config.php, but still no luck.

I have just installed wordpress, so at the moment the only plugin I have installed is “TinyMCE Advanced” which facilitates font modification (size, underline, family, etc.) in the post editor, and even after deactivating this nothing changes.

Please help 🙂
