Hello,

I need to translate this line into my language:

“ERROR: Your topic needs a title.”

I have the latest bbpress installed, but the .POT file is missing this line. Can you help?

Thanks

[Robin W]

hmmm… something is changing that

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

Hi,

I’m running the latest bbPress (2.5.4) and using Gravity Forms and the Custom Post Types addon to automatically create a bbPress reply when somebody submits a form. This is mostly working – the reply post is created in WordPress, I’m setting the _bbp_reply_to, _bbp_forum_id and _bbp_topic_id meta fields and it looks like it should in the backend.

However it doesn’t appear as a reply under the topic when you view the forums.

If I edit the newly-created reply in the WordPress admin backend (just hitting Update without making any changes) it does then appear.

I presume there’s some additional step required to update the forums metadata or relationships? I’ve tried using the “repair forum” tools after creating the reply, and calling bbp_update_reply from a hook on form submission, but neither seem to make the reply appear. The only thing which does is clicking “Update” in the backend.

Any pointers would be very much appreciated! It feels like I’m 90% there but am missing some vital “refresh” step at the end.

Using the Hueman theme with latest bbpress and wordpress. The forums page has the correct sidebar, but when I click on a topic, a another, different sidebar appears.

Unfortunately, deactivating all plugins did not help. I did not test a default theme.

If I create a child theme and install the bbpress codes, will I still potentially have a problems with this, or will this no longer be an issue then?

This is a new current installation of WordPress, Buddypress and bbPress

I’ve created two forums. one group forum and one non-group forum. Both show up on the forum index at *.com/forums/

The non-group test forum works fine. Clicking on the index test forum link goes to *.com/forums/forum/test-forum/ the topic link goes to *.com/forums/topic/test-topic/

The group forum isn’t working. Clicking on the index group forum link just returns to *.com/forums/

However when I mouseover the link it shows *.com/groups/accessible-woodworking/forum/

I can go directly to the topic in the group forum at *.com/groups/accessible-woodworking/forum/topic/accessible-woodworking-test-topic/

I’m thinking it has something to do with the setting for the Group Forum root, but I don’t know how to change it.

Any and all suggestions welcome. Thank you in advance.

Hey @robin-w,

Along the same vein as this, I just signed up one of my friends as a user to test privileges and make sure it’s all working as it should be. When I signed him up, he was not automatically assigned a forum role. Is that due to the changes I’ve made or is this normal?

I want to make sure that I didn’t make a mistake somewhere in all of this. I’d like the base user role to be “Apprentice” so that when they sign up on the site, they have the lowest role.

If this is something that has to be set for each user, that isn’t a problem, again, I just want to make sure I didn’t muck it up.

Thanks! 🙂

Edit: I see that there is an option, of course, in the Settings » Forum, it was set to Advisor (since the others didn’t exist earlier). But it didn’t set him as Advisor. It just set him to None for forum role.

2nd Edit: (Firstly, I know that I’m nuts, I just keep thinking of other things). I installed a plugin called BuddyPress Registration and I’m wondering since that locks down the entire BuddyPress/bbPress system until users are approved, if maybe that’s why it’s set to none initially, so that they have zero access to the forums. -ponders-

Pretty strange one imho. I’ve been working on porting an existing site from phpbb
over to wordpress/bbpress. While going through a final test of the port I’ve come across the following problem. Namely when in forums where you can see the latest post (along side the forum name), the name of the latest post plus its time/date are totally incorrect, however the url actually links to the correct latest post.

See: wp.photographyireland.net/forums to see.

I’ve retried all the usual recalculates etc… I have tested the port in the past and didn’t have this issue. Can anyone advise or at worst provide me with a sql updates statement to correct?

I don’t want to do the port for real if I’m going to run into this again. Tbh I do find that the import from phpbb can be a tad bit flaky at time…

Cheers

Oh, one thing. How do I get it to link to the latest reply and not the first post in the topic?

Created a sidebar with wwPress WP Tweaks, but can’t get it to display. I have added widgets, and tried selecting all the different pages in the “Default forum wrapper” section. It just won’t show up.

WP version 4.1.1
http://www.testambrosemediastore.com/forums/forum/forum-2/
Minamaze theme

In this theme, you have to select one layout for all static pages, and I have chosen a layout that is full page. You don’t get Template options while creating/editing a page. Is that causing the issue? It seems all of the other “sidebar” plugins I’ve tried simply replace an existing sidebar, they won’t add one. Is “bbPress WP Tweaks” the same, or can you add a sidebar to the forum page even if it doesn’t have a sidebar originally?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

So I just installed bbPress (2.5.4) successfully after having buggy versions last week. Though I’m having a lot of issues this time. I’m using WordPress 4.1.1 and Twenty Fifteen as my theme.

I created a new forum which I called, “forum” and a topic called, “general”. When I go to view the forum, it takes me to /forums/forum/forum which I believe should be /forums/forum but I can’t go there without it redirecting me. /forums just redirects me as well.

Following the codex, I tried method two which involved using the shortcode. This works all fine until I clicked on the forum, which took me to /forums/forum/forum

My site is:

– method 1
– method 2

How can I fix this issue? Please don’t say disable plugins because I know for a fact, that isn’t the reason.

troubleshoot to find if you can pinpoint the problem.

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.

i just tested it out and it seems to work fine.

you can find the files to install for wp-content/languages/bbPress here

http://danieljuhl.dk/wordpress/oversaettelse/

more information specifically for your language

Thanks. Nice to at least get a response, so your thoughts are appreciated.

However, the ticket you refer to is closed. The file in latest bbPress download matches the final version (smf3.php) available there, so I’m sure it’s reasonable to assume the code is the latest available.

But while waiting for some help I did some further digging in my smf database. I found one user with an invalidly formatted user_id. After removing that the import worked.

Regarding “Remap existing users to default forum roles”, the import instructions recommend running ALL repair functions after importing, which I did at every import attempt.

[Robkk]

@kiwi3685

what importer did you use , the one listed in tools>forums Import??

because i see the bbPress one doesnt have much information in the codex and it is still in beta testing.

this could work or not , im only guessing to try to help

what you could try is go to tools>forums Repair forums and check

Remap existing users to default forum roles

and see if that fixes it.

there is also a ticket on the importer for SMF

@robin-w thanks for your note — we’ve been using bbpress and buddypress with our forums for a while.

@robkk thanks for the tips. I’ve deactivated all plugins (which actually helped with another problem, so thank you!) but that didn’t seem to do the trick.

since this site is active, I’ll make a test environment to switch themes and comment back with my findings.

thanks all!

I am using the standard forum index template for the front page of my forum.

This template only shows the latest post day / time for each of the group of sub forums. What I want is to show the latest post post day / time for each of the sub-forums not just against the top level one. (see screenshot)
How do I do this?

Wordpress v4.4.1, bbPress 2.5.4

[Robkk]

the only thing i can think of is that you might be caching logged in users which you shouldn’t.

other than that you could see if its a plugin or theme issue.

if its your theme contact your theme author.

[Robkk]

see if the shortcode works in a default theme first

if it still doesnt see if its a plugin issue

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the issue

if its not a plugin issue and is working in a default theme then your right about it being your theme

do the other shortcodes work fine?? if so see if you only messed up this file below

did you do any customization to this file content-archive-forum.php

[Robkk]

try this CSS code for a test to see if it works , if the background turns black it works.

input#bbp_search_submit.button {
	background: black;
}

[Robin W]

don’t know what else to suggest, bbpress is tested to work with the default themes, suggest you contact your host provider.
