Hello guys,
I tried to search for this topic for some time, and I found a lot of answers but non of them was on the point for my simple yet maybe difficult task.
My client needs the forum to be visible only for users/some users.
Basically only the users should be able to see the forums while others won’t even know it exist.

Can someone please help me with on the point solution, and if non exist I would have to use some bypass, maybe even make my own php code – which I rather avoid.

Thanks for reading and helping!

Hi,

When I receive an email notification, if I’m logged in and I click the link it takes me directly to the thread/post in question.

However if I’m not logged in I simply get:

Sorry, the page your requested could not be found, or no longer exists.

Running WordPress 4.1 and bbpress 2.5.4

I have tested with the bundled themes and the issue persists.

[Cking]

Hi,

I am using Mesocolumn theme as it claims it is bbPress compatible.

I am having issues with the forum category widget. I have defined 4 categories but none appears in the widget.

Also, how do I add first-time bbPress registration to my forum page.

The link to my site is : http://www.ckingsensors.com/ckingforums/

I am using WP 4.1 and the latest bbPress version.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jay

Hi all I have the forum installed but I wish to include widgets to the right of it such as forum lists, latest posts etc
but my forum is the full width of my site, can anybody help me please.
I have no idea of coding or anything please can somebody help me as my forum looks ruubish and plain

[Stagger Lee]

Yes, so it is vith github and updates. I had some old code, testing something on my old website. Noticed on github changes for GD Attachments.
Now it works very nice.

Put this plugin in WP repository. It is very unique.

Disregard, I have discovered the issue. I was attempting to do a migration test run by importing the content to a local machine. The problem was that the host IP called out in my config file is a ServiceNet IP which my local machine doesn’t have access to. Using the public address wouldn’t work either because that is not what XenForo uses. So, I instead took the plunge and began migration from one of my network servers to the other, using the ServiceNet IP and was successful. Import appears to be working fine.

[bazaarocommunity]

I’ve installed the latest version of bbpress and WordPress, and am attempting to migrate my forum from XenForo using the built in migration tool. I am receiving the following:
No reply_to parents to convert
No replies to convert
No tags to convert
No super stickies to stick
No stickies to stick
No topics to convert
No forum parents to convert
No forums to convert
No passwords to clear
No users to convert
I’ve used my config.php file from XenForo to obtain the host, username, password, and dbname. I also used the prefix ‘xf_’.

Any ideas?

[stmux]

The “Edit” link is there in every post. For the test I just did the link takes me to the following address:

http://www.spatialhaze.com/wordpress/index.php/forums/topic/freqently-asked-questions/edit/

And the following error message is what pops up on the screen for every post I try to edit:

Not FoundIt looks like nothing was found at this location. Maybe try a search?

It’s like the the edit link is pointing to a place with no data.

I will go through the links you provided to see if there is something I missed. BTW, I have removed and reinstalled the bbPress plugin twice with the same results.
Thanks,
mux

@stagger-lee

I this sentence i said you can do much with only CSS and styling. To “sell” bbPress to WP beginners.

WordPress has its own “demo” websites, all those nice and fancy themes around web. BbPress has it not.

this is the featured sites section on here bbpress.org/about/examples/

and maybe this site should show any heavily designed WordPress themes integrated with bbPress in the themes section of this site?? the section isn’t really being used anymore ,but it could be a cool place to show off cool themes. i think that would have to wait for the bbpress theme tag though??

There is a reason why WP holds so much of web, and bbPress is not in this league.

well ones a cms/blogging software and the other is a forum software.

alot of people would want to create a blog over a forum , a forum requires alot more responsibility to take of and handle.

@robin-w

I’m working on one now that adds some styling changes (the common ones asked for)

if you need anybody to test it out you can email me it if you want to.

Contact

[Stagger Lee]

I am not saying all this because of me. I have now so many (tested) snippets and tweaks i can make bbPress more advanced than phpBB3 forum. I am thankfull to core guys, and I am not complaining.

Integration (affinity better to say) with WP core is so amazing it just blow minds.

I am saying this because of core coders guys. It is pitty lose hours, days, weeks and last nobody or very few people use bbPress.

[Sterke-Jerke]

Hi,

I have latest version of BBpress, Buddypress and Tapatalk running.
All seems to be working fine. But…
I use the Buddypress groups to limit users access to certain forums. This works OK with the Web Ui.
If you are not a member, buddypress shows that you can ask access….

Only problem I am facing is: tapatalk does not respect all these settings, It is able to post and retrieve forum posts, even if the users are not members of the groups.
Doesn’t matter if I make the forum hidden or private.

I hope I am on the rigjt place. Perhaps I should post this in the Buddypress support part …

Thx

[Stagger Lee]

First, for a whole week now I am collecting, testing, verifiyng snippets around the web, most from this forum, and make my own collection. To have it all on one place on localhost. Stop making it, it never ends. 🙂 bbPress is so, so, so manageable and easy to add all functions other forum software have.

Second, you won hearts of coders and developers. What about WP/bbPress beginners ?
As you already lose your time coding make some new theme for this support forum. To make it as demo for bbPress, to make it shine and stick out.

There is a reason why WP holds so much of web, and bbPress is not in this league.
Dont get me wrong, I read your topic about complicating things and rised support with new functions/options. I am talking about plain old CSS2/CSS3. No database queries, and you “sell” your product/code.

So, thanks and apologies if I offended someone.

[Stagger Lee]

Old topic but if it can help someone. Code is tested and still works, just formatting of code on this forum is wrong.

add_filter('bbp_current_author_ip', 'my_anonymize_ip');

function my_anonymize_ip($retval) {
$retval = '0.0.0.0';
return $retval;
}

[Robin W]

you could try something like the following in your function file (not tested)

add_action  ('bbp_template_after_replies_loop', 'bbp_breadcrumb' );

Hello,
I am experiencing a strange issue. After upgrade to wp4.1 and lates Theme updates when I try to activate bbpress (latest) all my blog articles are not visible. Basically the HOME page loads but when I click anything, any blog, the URL is trying to open but page stays BLANK, strange. Then I need to be manually deactivate bbpress and all goes to normal.
Now I dont know where to look for error BBpress, WP or Theme compatibility between those, i am lost. Did you experienced someting similar in a past ?
thank you for your advices.

[Robin W]

I think the FRESHNESS field should display the date of the last reply or topic, but instead it only shows the date of the last topic.

This is what it should do (and does on my test site)

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.

[Touda]

After some tests, I tried to deactivate one-by-one the last plugins I’ve installed. And after deactivating Google Anlytics by Yoast, it made the trick!

Forums are back now! All are listed. Widget is back on all the pages, I can reply and create topics… I hope this helps other people. This plugin seems to be incompatible with bbPress plugin!

[Robin W]

I want to set my forum root page to http://localhost/bibliotheque/pour-les-bibliotheques-gouvernementales/partage-dexpertise/

and not to http://localhost/bibliotheque/sujet/test/

sujet = topic
test = forum post

Can you tell me what your root is in

dashboard>settings>forums>Forum Root Slug>forum root?

[Food Research Collaboration]

Hi there,

I’m looking for an option to hold new topics by non-admin users in moderation for approval before they are visible. I’ve tried looking at this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpressmoderation/ but it deals with topics and replies together- you have to moderate both or not moderate both. I’m not interested in moderating replies, just topic starters.
Could anybody by any chance suggest a different plugin, a code snippet to use etc. to work around this issue?
(I’m running the latest versions on WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress).
Thank you very much!

[FredericBegin]

I want to set my forum root page to http://localhost/bibliotheque/pour-les-bibliotheques-gouvernementales/partage-dexpertise/

[Robin W]

ok, thanks for the clarification.

You say that everything is working on the backend – this would suggest that the import is fine, and maybe that something else is affecting.

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 !

@robkk

why would you want to import the newest version of a bbPress posts into WordPress when they should already show up fine, like a regular bbPress install??

The above makes no sense to me, anyone else? Did you read what I wtrote, or just the headline?

I am trying to import an entire forum (forums/topics/replies) from one WordPress install to another.

This should be simple, as Stephen Edgar wrote, it should be a standard option on the ‘Import Forums’ tab under ‘Tools’, but it’s not.

He also wrote that it would soon be implemented and really should be a simple process…. months ago!

@robin-w

Apologies Robin if I wasn’t clear.

I have a forum on a WordPress 4.1 install located on a live test server.
(oxymoron? – I know, but that’s how I develop, consider it a sandlot)

I am running version 2.5.4 of bbpress, and am trying to move it to a different WordPress installation, also 4.1.

I did not do:
Dashboard>tools>forums>export from the WP 4.1/bbPress 2.5.4 because there is no such option

I did do:
As advised on this forum and elsewhere, Dashboard>Tools>Export-Forums/Topic/Replies individually.(I did also try them all together, but this didn’t work at all..)

Then I imported them individually in order Forums/Topic/Replies.

This imports everything to the backend perfectly fine, but nothing shows on the front end.

I then followed the Forum repair procedures in many different forms (e.g.: one at a time/different order/all together) and still nothing shows on the front end.

As I said, I have tried this entire procedure in many ways now, both to standalone single site WP installs, Multisite setups, local WP installs and subdomains/subfolders, and regardless of how I do it, I never see anything on the Front End of the site I import to – but everything is perfectly visible and editable on the back end.

As for the ‘four months’, it has taken me that long, on and off, to follow all the various scraps of advice from around this forum on importing/migrating bbPress to different locations/installs, there are a lot of threads here covering many scenarios, and I tried most of them.

It is my experience that this is best practice on a support forum, otherwise I would rightly be told not to post about something that has already been discussed/solved.

I can now confidently inform you that there is no solution on this forum for my particular issue and would greatly appreciate your advice/help in finding a solution.

May I suggest two things though, which I feel would solve this issue for anyone going forward.

1) Please do develop the promised import option for bbPress 2.x forums in the Tools>Import Forums tab.

2) Please also post a step-by-step guide for manually adding bbPress tables via phpMyAdmin

Can you help me ?

[Robin W]

bbpress works with 4.1 so it not/not only a 4.1 issue

It could be a theme or plugin issue with 4.1

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

[Touda]

I made another test trying to create a new topic (thread) from the form under the listing given by [bbp-singl-forum id=6] and it give me back the following error:

ERROR: No tienes permisos para crear nuevos hilos.

Which is Spanish for You do not have permission to create new topics.
