After having installed, configured and started some forums and subforums with the initial threads (topics), suddenly I found some issues, maybe related with some new plugins I’ve been installing on the same site:
– Forums URLs give 404 errors
– Topics URLs are found OK
– No reply is possible to those topics even when logged as Admin (Keymaster). BBPress shows this error:

ERROR: You do not have permission to reply.

ERROR: This forum is private and you do not have the capability to read or create new replies in it.

When testing shortcodes on a test page it gives the following results:

[bbp-forum-index] -> No forum is listed

[bbp-single-forum id=6] -> Forum is shown with its topics

[bbp-topic-index] -> Topics are listed OK

Any idea?

Thanks in advance for any help.

For the past hour I’ve been hunting a post preview plugin.

The plugin repository was no help, as for the forum and Google, all I’ve found is topics from 3 to 8 years ago, with people complaining about bugs in plugins that have no links to them, or links that have become obsolete.

So, has there been any post review plugins made that have stood the test of time?

Thanks,
Adam

Building a new site running the latest WP BuddyP and BBp, I have a (perhaps stupid_ question.

What I want to achieve:
Buddypress user, who are member of certain groups have rights to some “extra” forums. (done)
“Approved” registred members should have access to “sitewide” all forums.
“Non-approved” new memebers (who are regsitred) should have access to a limited number of forums.

Should I do this with Buddypress, using some kind of Parent forums? Or must install a plugin and create new roles?

Thanks!
(link to an example or extra instructions would be nice)

see if its a plugin or theme 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.

Hey guys! I need your help,

actually, im bulding a web site with bbforum in my partage-dexpertise section
(http://localhost/bibliotheque/pour-les-bibliotheques-gouvernementales/partage-dexpertise/)

My breadCrumb work fine for all my website so I desactivate BBPress default breadCrumb.

Now when I go to my forum I got this link(http://localhost/bibliotheque/sujet/test/)

But I want something like this (http://localhost/bibliotheque/pour-les-bibliotheques-gouvernementales/partage-dexpertise/sujet/test/).

Hi

My issue is when a registered user clicks on open forum. all the topics are displayed, but when the user clicks on one of the topics they are taken directly to a reply page – without showing the actual topic.

WP version 4.1
bbPress version 2.5.4
http://www.oregonsungrown.org
you can test with user testor password test123

thanks

I have isolated the exact post content that causes the BBCode::Parse to hang. I can’t post the original content, but I made this version replacing the text with lorem ipsum, and it also hangs:

$field =<<<EOD
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla dictum ligula sit amet massa condimentum gravida. Quisque qutris imgdper diet dolor. Nulla quis ante id elit lacinia commodo. Maecenas convallis felis at libero fringilla, feiat.<br><br><br><i><b>[EDIT: Aenean aliquet velit est, ac sodales "tortyor aliquoam vitae" urna sit amet dui rutr "OpenGL Uiot" Tenentis in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia Curae Donec fringilla velit non too much
EOD;

If you remove the words “too much” from the end then it parses ok.

This is the full code that I put into a theme page template to run this test in isolation:

echo "<h2>Begin the parser test</h2>";

require_once( WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/bbpress/bbpress.php' );

$field =<<<EOD
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla dictum ligula sit amet massa condimentum gravida. Quisque qutris imgdper diet dolor. Nulla quis ante id elit lacinia commodo. Maecenas convallis felis at libero fringilla, feiat.<br><br><br><i><b>[EDIT: Aenean aliquet velit est, ac sodales "tortyor aliquoam vitae" urna sit amet dui rutr "OpenGL Uiot" Tenentis in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia Curae Donec fringilla velit non too much
EOD;

require_once( bbpress()->includes_dir . 'admin/parser.php' );
$bbcode = BBCode::getInstance();
echo  html_entity_decode( $bbcode->Parse( $field ) );

Fresh install of the latest bbpress and wordpress 4.1 – theme powermag 1.8.0

When someone posts, the first post layout is fine. Any reply after though, the avatar and name is at the bottom of the screen?

http://www.wisbechtownfc.co.uk/forums/topic/wednesday-at-histon/

I checked it with live preview on twentyfifteen and its fine, perhaps I can override the them of just the forum ?

any help would be appreciated

[Robkk]

@julianms so your issue is its hard to customize the Markdown plugin??

and you tried to see if you could customize it in the bbPress templates??

and you want to use Latex language in bbPress , i can test out some plugins in a minute and see how that works out.

but yeah the first two questions i’m not sure i had right it was pretty hard following your reply, you put a lot of personality in it.

[v_dee]

After updte, topics are not display… Any advice?
please test

[Robin W]

This is theme related, to prove as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

I suggest you start with the theme author and see if he can suggest how to fix.

Most of the answers in google suggest that it has something to do with the browser, however, when i switch to firefox, it said “the connection is reset”, so i don’t think it is the browser’s problem.

After some test, I think it has do to with the content, because when i use other longer content, i am able to publish it, but when i use the original content, the problem occurs.

So here is the content i am going to publish:

Thanks so much @korobochkin for sharing this in such detail! I’m going to test this out from start to finish on a 100% fresh bbPress, multi-site setup over the next few weeks. I’m thinking this is ‘finally’ a rock-solid sol’n to managing bbPress on multi-site, particularly in situations where the root site has no obvious visual/branding/etc relationship to the other sites on the network.

This sol’n looks very solid, much better than what I was previously doing with the Login With Ajax (lwa) plugin, wp-members (plugin) & hard-coded redirections (which while worked, seemed very ‘hacky’) & would not work with the [bbp_register] shortcodes, etc.

Thanks again Koyla!

ok, lets break this down

A)

I was having trouble with a theme so I deactivated and reactivated bb press, since then all my “private” forums take me to a 404 page

and

However all the pages which I embedded the private forums via shortcode are still working

Can you explain further where you can and cannot see forums?

1. Are they visible from the backend

Dashboard>forums>all Forums and then ‘view’ a forum

2. On the ‘the pages which I embedded the private forums via shortcode are still working ‘ – so you can view here – yes?

3. when is the 404 page occurring – is it just the forum root page, and if so are these being listed but going to 404 when you click.

B) I presume you are logged on, at what level and can you try different levels eg participant, moderator and keymaster and tell us if this is different or the same.

c) You don’ tell us what trouble you were having with the theme, so it would be good to eliminate this and plugins so

Hi everyone,

I installed bbpress on my company’s website, and when i tried to create new topic like what i am doing here, the brower will return “no data received” error, and if i click more information, i found the error code “ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE”.

I’ve tried to deactivate most of the plugin except bbpress, and the problem remains.

And if I type something short, like “test”, it can be created.

Does this has to do with the usage of server space? Because I used about 80% of it.

Thank you in advance for your help. Please let me know if you need more information

While redesigning my website, I can not get the custom sidebar to work in the bbPress forum.

Plugins I have installed:

-Custom Sidebars

-bbPress WP Tweaks

Theme: Smart Mag
Forum URL: http://shootingtime.com/test2/archery-bowhunting-forum/

This is how I got to where I’m at:

Attempt #1

1. I assigned bbPress to use the forum root slug /archery-bowhunting-forum/

2. I created a page with the url slug /archery-bowhunting-forum/

3. With the ‘Custom Sidebars’ plugin, I created a sidebar called ‘forums sidebar’.

4. I checked the box entitled ‘Allow this sidebar to be replaced’ on the sidebar named “main sidebar”

5. I went to the forum page (with the url slug /archery-bowhunting-forum/) and selected the ‘forums sidebar’ from the custom sidebar options

This did not work. I tried it with another individual page and it did work so I assume it’s a bbPress specific problem.

Attempt #2

1. I installed bbPress WP Tweaks

2. bbPress WP Tweaks gave me a widget called “bbPress sidebar” so I customized it.

It didn’t work.

I went to the forum page and selected “bbPress sidebar” in the option field. This didn’t work either.

There is one way I did get the forum index page and the custom sidebar to show up at the same time. It happened when the url slug was different the the bbPress forum slug and I used the bbPress shortcode for the forum to show up. When I clicked on a subforum, the custom sidebar disappeared though.

Please someone HELP!!!!!!!

Thanks

Forums are stored in the database, so you will not find them using ftp
