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.
@teamoo
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.

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… ! 🙂
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.
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
this is a weird issue , could a conflicting plugin or a messed up install, follow this if it helps any
General Issues
bbPress works with many themes and plugins, but it is impossible to test all combinations, and many issues are caused by conflicts with plugins and themes.
Therefore before posting, please test if your issue is resolved by the following
Plugins

Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
If the above produces an issue:
If it is a paid theme or plugin, please contact the authors for resolution.

PLEASE tell us you have done the tests above when posting.
OTHER COMMON FIXES
The following will do no harm, so are worth a try and can fix some issues
Dashboard>settings>permalinks. Don’t change anything, but just click save. This resets the permalinks, and can solve some 404 errors.
Dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums and run one at a time. Useful if you’ve got some stuff not showing – doesn’t often fix but occasionally does.

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 );
bbp_register_view( 'random-topic', __( 'Random Topic' ), array( 'orderby' => 'rand' ), false );
bbp_register_view( 'closed', __( 'Recently Closed' ), array( 'post_status' => 'closed' ), false );

bbp_register_view( 'all-topics', __( 'All Topics' ), array( 'order' => 'DESC' ), false );
bbp_register_view( 'open', __( 'Open (Not Closed)' ), array( 'post_status' => 'publish' ), false );
bbp_register_view( 'random-single-topic', __( 'Random Single-Topic' ), array( 'orderby' => 'rand', 'posts_per_page' => '1', 'max_num_pages' => '1' ), false );
}
add_action( 'bbp_register_views', 'ntwb_register_custom_views' );

Yes, this is very strange.
I’ve placed the link for my forum and for my “test” topic below. I’ve been searching with the word “Wellsville” as that is unique to topic below. All it returns is the newest blog post which does not have Wellsville in it anywhere.
My standard search within WordPress works as it should. Should the bbPress search be limited to the forum? That would be good.
http://www.ohio-offroad.com/forums
http://www.ohio-offroad.com/forums/topic/wellsville-still-operational/
I still have this problem on the latest bbpress and wordpress. Im trying to embed the shortcode on the feedback-no-search.php so that it displays when there is no search result and the user can ask the question on the forum. For admins it works fine but for non-admins get the message “You cannot create new topics.”
The fix that @satrya and @robin-w posted also doesn’t work on this version of bbpress, but again thats ia comment from a year ago.
it should only be seen by keymasters.
test it out create a dummy participant user and switch to them and see if you see it anymore.
Hello – I’ve installed ‘bbPress’ on my website as well as the ‘bbPress WP Tweak’ to add a nice sidebar. Both the search area located at the top of the standard ‘bbPress’ install as well as the search area found in the ‘bbPress WP Tweak’ sidebar do not reap any search results.
I have 1 topic submitted for testing. The keyword is ‘Wellsville’. The search does not find this topic.
Any ideas? I’m completely stumped and a search function is an extremely important feature.
I should also add that outside of the bbPress plugin, my sites search feature works normal.
probably either a theme or plugin issue

An update on this.
I got it to work by editing the .htaccess file.
Add this code block at the start of the file:
<FilesMatch “^(wp-login|wp-log|index)\.php$”>
Header set Set-Cookie wordpress_test_cookie=WP+Cookie+check
</FilesMatch>
Regards
Rune
so far it is running off a test site that I am working with before I set up the actual domain where I can upload the skin, so bear with me. It only happens when the user is logged in.
http://www.timesaverswebdesign.com.au/sandbox/test
I am running Bbpress 4.1.1. If you have the revision log turned on, every saved edit will be displayed under the post. I’m a frequent post editor, so I wind up with 10+ logs if I don’t remember to uncheck the box, and there’s no easy way to delete them.
I am looking for a way to make each topic and post only show the latest edit. There should only ever be one edit note per post. Is this possible, via plugin or code or some option I haven’t found yet?
If your site is public, please put a url/link to an example page. What is to you an obvious written description is frequently not clear to us, and the ability to see is much better. We are also able to fix many display issues by loading your site and seeing what it is sending the browser in the background, so a link rather than a picture is really useful.
If you are setting up, please see the Getting Started section of the codex first.
Getting Started
Please see this page for any frequently asked questions we may already have an answer for you.

Troubleshooting
ow !
Hopefully the company have restored the database to back beyond your attempts to optimise it?
If so it should have no errors. So if it has, they probably need to go back to an older version if they have one – many hosters don’t.
Is it just forums entries that are missing???
if so you could try
dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums
and when you do get it going again, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don’t do stuff to a live site again.
1. a few hours invested in a test site
https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/
and you would not have lost your live site, and
2. REGULARLY back your main site (the above tells you how) and you could have just restored that – hosting companies rarely keep much, and an issue found after a week can be fatal !
Do come back for further help if needed.
