ok, the back to discussions link is being put in either by your theme or by a plugin (maybe buddypress)

SO

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

[jules.maas]

The “Back to Discussions” link in my forum take me back to my site’s homepage, instead of the listing of forum discussions. Do I have something set wrong? I can’t find anywhere to fix this.

PLEASE SEE http://www.maaspublications.net/testsite/client/groups/webinar-participants/forum/topic/i-have-questions-lots-lots-of-questions/

*(I did post this in 2 unresolved BuddyPress threads, although I was referred this forum. I searched for existing matching topics in your Troubleshooting forum, and only found one other matching thread that is also unresolved: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/←-back-to-discussions-link-goes-to-home-page/)

All help is appreciated!

Hi thanks for the reply.
Yes I have completed the test mentioned above and still no luck.
I am using MAMP and the apache server is running on port 8888.
from the dashboard i can create forums topics and replies. However, i cant do any of this from the forum page directly. Additionally, I cant see the reply I created from the dashboard for a specific topic. If i go to the replies tab in my dashboard i can navigate to the reply that way but not from the forum. any help on this problem is much appreciated.
Many thanks
Billy

On the main forum page here on bbPress.org the latest topics are listed with the wrong freshness time. More than half hour incorrect more some. The freshness time on the specific forum pages are correct though. Why is this?

but when you do update

i say make a backup of your site using this plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/

maybe even a couple of backups for a safe measure

1 to your email , 1 on your host , and 1 on your cpu.

then update WordPress.

Thanks Robkk,

I tried bbPress-Support-Forums, but it puts some strange stuff in the forum header:

It would be nice with a plugin that just lets logged in users vote, with a widget of most voted topics.

[RecipeBrag]

Hi Guys.

I hope you can help. I am using the latest version on wp and bbpress. My site is http://www.recipebrag.com

I have just set up cloudflare and since when posting a reply or making a post, it takes ages for it to appear. I don’t know if it is to do with cloudflare or not. Has anyone else had this issue?

I have searched but cannot find an answer.

TIA

Steve

[Hard Seat Sleeper]

I’d like to edit my forum homepage to show the latest posts (much like this forum), as well as the main forum topics, but what is the name of the file actually controls the display of the forum homepage? I can’t believe I’m asking this, but I just can’t figure out where it is!

And are there conditionals you can use to target different pages – similar to wordpress is_home() is_archive() etc – and if so, is there a list of them somewhere?

Thanks for any help at all.

remove the CSS you added to your child theme (you can download it to backup if you made changes)

let the style go back to the normal 2013 then put back the CSS

it did this type of thing for 2014 for me one time and it was pretty weird.

this PHP snippet should remove the double Private wording

add_filter('private_title_format', 'ntwb_remove_private_title');
function ntwb_remove_private_title($title) {
	return '%s';
}

other than that try these troubleshooting tips

Can I contribute myself in the future in the development of this plugin? Can you give me some directions for doing so?

follow this link , join slack and contact the plugin developers

Development

you should maybe contact them about this issue too, but first make sure to troubleshoot using this first.

@robin-w Thank you for your reply. I tried both methods you suggested above and came up with the same result as before. When I search while in the forum the only return I get is my latest blog post. My latest blog post may or may not have the searched for word.

I also tried installing the plugin @robkk suggested above and it didn’t fix the problem.

Any other ideas why this would be happening?

Hi. I’m wanting to hide the “view topic” page from users that aren’t logged in. Anyone know how to do this? Instead I will display a message asking them to log in / register.

I don’t want to hide the forums or make them private as I’d like guests to be able to see what the latest topics are etc on the index, but they wouldn’t be able to read them.

First I would like to says a lot of thanks for this great work you have done in bbPrees..! 🙂

My problem since a few days which I started to use bbPress was that the notification emails was not received by the users…

In v2.5.5 the problem was somewhere in not keeping correct subscription info for the user, so the sending notifications procedure does not even try to send the email…

In latest version, 2.5.6, the problem persists but in an other point…

Now the email is sending with success but the notification email does not reach the user because the “to” field in wp_mail, $to_email, contains the noreply email address and not the email address of the user..! 🙂

Can you please fix this bug for me?

Can I contribute myself in the future in the development of this plugin? Can you give me some directions for doing so?

Thank you for your time and effort… ! 🙂

[teamoo]

Robin – I think you may have misinterpreted my last response or maybe I worded it funny. My bbPress search function is not return results.

Take a look for yourself:
http://www.ohio-offroad.com/forums

Enter “Track” or “Trail” words that are used quite a bit. The only return you will get is my latest post which does not have these words. It does not return the 15 or so topics/replies that have this word.

My standard wordpress search works as it should but the forum search does not.

[Robkk]

why did you use echo do shortcode on these two lines , they are not shortcodes , its just header text.

<?php if (!is_user_logged_in()) echo do_shortcode ('<h2 class="mve-form-title">Zo te zien is hierover nog niets geschreven...<br><br>Geregistreerde leden kunnen een vraag stellen aan de community.</h2>') ; ?>

<?php if (is_user_logged_in()) echo do_shortcode ('<h2 class="mve-form-title">Zo te zien is hierover nog niets geschreven. Stel je vraag aan de community.</h2>') ; ?>

but the topic you lead to there was a fix , i just edited for your search results page.

i did test everything out , saw the issue , and resolved it with this function.

add_filter( 'bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form', 'custom_bbp_access_topic_form' );
function custom_bbp_access_topic_form( $retval ) {

	if ( bbp_is_search_results() ) {
		$retval = bbp_current_user_can_publish_topics();
	}

	return $retval;

}

I creating a custom import for ExpressionEngine. The name of my file and class is “ExpressionEngine”. For the “authenticate_pass” method I have confirmed it is done the same way EE does the compare with all the different hash algos it could be in a different test php file.

The problem is if I try to login as one of these users I get errors:
Notice: Undefined index: _bbp_converter_rows in /../wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converter.php on line 651

Notice: Undefined index: _bbp_converter_db_user in /../wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converter.php on line 652

Notice: Undefined index: _bbp_converter_db_pass in /../wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converter.php on line 652

Notice: Undefined index: _bbp_converter_db_name in /../wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converter.php on line 652

Notice: Undefined index: _bbp_converter_db_server in /../wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converter.php on line 652

Can’t select database

I then removed the “_bbp_class” meta for this user and reset their password and can login just fine. So it has to do with “bbp_user_maybe_convert_pass” method when including the converter.

I truly appreciate any help with this. I am on v 2.5.5

@mvaneijgen

i just tested out the shortcode an i get no issues , i checked with a participant and keymaster roles.

i usually use the topic form page on this site too when i created topics and it seems to work well here too since im a participant.

Create New Topic

have you edited the template files specifically the ones for the topic form??
have you edited role permissions??
can your users see the message on normal topic forms that should display under a forum list.
have you done the usual troubleshooting??

Hello all,

I need to import in mass members but from other sources. I have a csv file. I am under WordPress 4.1.1. and last version of bbPress. I thing that i’ve tried 10 plug in since since morning without success. The last i was hoping to save me is “buddypress members import”. I’ve bought it 5 hours ago and still not have any confirmation mail neither download link to test it. Please do you have any advice for me that i could import my members ? thank you very much in advance for any help. Ann

you can use the bbPress views widget.

which would link to optional ways to view the topics.

Recommended im not sure though?? maybe as an alternative you can use most replied too??

to add more custom views

you can plop this code into your child themes functions.php file or add it into a functionality plugin.

/**
 * Register these bbPress views:
 *  - Popular Topics
 *  - Unpopular Topics
 *  - Random Topic
 *  - Recently Closed
 *  - Tagged Test
 *  - All Topics
 *  - Open (Not Closed)
 *  - Random Single Topic
 *
 * @uses bbp_register_view() To register the view
 */
function ntwb_register_custom_views() {
	bbp_register_view( 'popular-topics', __( 'Popular Topics' ), array( 'meta_key' => '_bbp_reply_count', 'orderby' => 'meta_value_num' ), false );
	bbp_register_view( 'unpopular-topics', __( 'Unpopular Topics' ), array( 'meta_key' => '_bbp_reply_count', 'orderby' => 'meta_value_num', 'order' => 'asc' ), false );
