Okay,

I did a few tests. The Problem also appears if I enable the visual (tab) editor via functions.php, like described here: BBPress Codex, and even if I use this Plugin: bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab

This is what it looks like on the Website: directupload.net Image

And this is how it looks like in chrome dev tools: directupload.net Image

Can’t believe that I am the only one with this problem… Or am I doing somethings wrong?

I had to deactivate all plugins to determine which one was causing an issue for my site. After identifying the issue (nothing to do with BbPress) and reactivating my plugins all forums have disappeared from the sites and as an option in WordPress new forum posts.

As BbPress and BuddyPress have bother both reactivated I have no idea why the forums are gone?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I’ve gone through my site several times reviewing many different options but I can’t figure this out?

My site is: http://www.whichinvest.com
I have the latest versions of WordPress/BBPress/Buddypress.

Thanks

Can anyone tell me why it says “Shop” on for the title? I never titled the page and can’t find where to change it.

Thanks!

How do I turn that OFF?

I guess I should have tested that code before I posted it. This gets it in the footer but I cant seem to get the blue bullets this way (although they are there) I even tried placing the

tag first just in case it needed that which didn’t do it. Also I cant seem to adjust the font size in the footer either. So the table boxes wont increase to fill the footer. I will play with it. See if i can’t come up with a better solution

[wannial]

I can only post short replies, if I make it to long it won’t post, I have no idea why, so sorry for the many replies.

When I change the forum slug to a completely different text like test, it still screw up my forum layout as can be seen here

I am using wp-mail-smtp & the test email works fine by the way. Any suggestions to why it does not work for BBPress?

Thanks

The /forums URL on a client forum no longer shows the forum-archive. It only show the information as a excerpt with all the HTML tags and links stripped out, as such….

Is there a fix for this?

[Fugglet]

Yea. I see them all in there as they should be.
I can go to the link of the item to see it on the website.
It just doesn’t show me the forum on the website, even with use of the shortcode.

I’ve tried making other test pages, but didn’t work – only shows some upload image bar.

[Robin W]

ok, the database entry for usermeta is correct, and a moderator should be able to see forums in the dashboard.

I’m stuck as to what to suggest next, usually not see dashboard items is a conflict between bbpress and another plugin, but you’ve already tested for that.

My only other thought is to create a new mamp, and then export and import forums to it and see if it’s something in that.

[Dirk]

I forgot to say, that I could reproduce the problem on a local testing site installed with MAMP on my machine.

[xprt007]

Hi

I will look into this as soon as I get time.

The author of recipepress reloaded tried to reproduce the problem after I contacted him as mentioned above. Though he did not go through everything, he says the test version to be released sometime(hopefully) in the near future accommodated both /recipe & /forums with the latter showing an empty forum, which I assume means not the blog archive content was loaded at that url.

I will post an update.
Thank you form your help.

Regards

[peter-hamilton]

Could you add a link to the test site?

[Robin W]

ok, don’t know what bbPress Advanced Capabilities does but it might be the 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.

[Dirk]

I deleted the user on a local test-installation with MAMP, where I could reproduce the problem. It made no difference.

Here is what I can see and do in WP frontend and backend:

Frontend
– Logged in as Keymaster, I can do everything. I can see all bbPress related menu items in the WP Toolbox on top of the page.
– Logged in as Moderator, I can see the bbPress related menu items Topic and Answer in the WP toolbox, but not Forum. I can start a new forum on a page with the shortcode [bbp-forum-form] as a child-forum (same behaviour as Keymaster starting a forum with this shortcode).
– Logged in as Contributor I don´t have any bbPress related menu item in the WP toolbox, but I can start Topics and answer in the forum itself.

Backend (Dashboard)
– Logged in as Keymaster I have every bbPress menu item.
– Logged in as Moderator I only have Topics and Answers as menu items.
– Logged in as Contributor I don´t have a bbPress menu at all.

For me it looks like every role has the corresponding capability, but the menu items of the role below, except the Keymaster.

What I also tried was changing capabilities with the plugin bbPress Advanced Capabilities and restoring the WP default capabilities with Capability Manager Advanced. No difference.

hi

thanks for your reply. sorry if it is not clearl
here is my forum:
http://freedive-earth.com/forums/forum/freediveearthforum
i have created a forum ‘freediveearthforum’ with different categories.
i’d like my users to be able to create topics under my different categorie not under freediveearthforum itself, do you know what i mean? Like you can see on my forum, there is topic named “test”, it is displayed on the main page, bit from my point of view it must be display under one of the category.
Or mauve i should create a fomum under each category?
thanks,

thanks,

The last posting on this topic is very old. I wonder this is still a matter of concern. I try to move my http://www.phpages.org/phpBB3/ forum to bbPress. I used the build in tool and get the error

WordPress database error: [Table ‘u53000db1.phpbbusers’ doesn’t exist]

u53000db1 is my phppp sql base and I made a test with the plugin cms2cms and I got a nice output, but the produced bbPress forum was somwhere else not in my application, so I wonder what that means?

Anyone there can get me started in the right direction. Best regards
Peter

[Robin W]

ok, partial solution for you – I have done some further testing

In dashboard>settings>forums make the forum slug /forums

The create a page called ‘forum’ and put

[bbp-forum-index] into this. Save and view to make sure you can see this

Right now change the heading to ‘Forums’, the page slug will stay as forum, and as long as that doesn’t match the forum slug in settings it seems to be ok.

Then create a menu item for this page

That seems to function BUT the breadcrumbs will still go to the wrong place, so for the moment take these out

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

That will at least get you a working forum and recipe. All that’s missing are the breadcrumbs

Let me know how you get on

[Robin W]

I’ve just tried having both these plugins on my test site, and can see exactly what you mean, my forums become archive posts just as yours did, and I’m using a shortcode so that way won’t work.

So definite conflict between how these two forums are using slugs, and I suspect that the recipe one is overwriting a forum one, but don’t know how, possibly via a filter on wordpress.

I’d suggest since the recipe plugin author will have far better knowledge (as he has slug settings in his plugin) that you go back with a fresh post, and explain that on a base theme (mine was twentyten) with just bbpress and his plugin and nothing else

http://www.mysite.com/forums takes you to blog archives page

and see what he comes back with

[Robin W]

maybe 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.

1. You shouldn’t need to manually map anything with WordPress 4.0.x and bbPress 2.5.x, bbPress 2.x can import bbPress 1.x 100% perfectly “out of the box” without any additional plugins or manual intervention.

2. If you want to integrate bbPress 1.2 with WordPress then this also works with a few tweaks also, see this post for details on this.

In summary there is no reason to be not using the latest version of WordPress with either bbPress 1.x or 2.x.

Hi

The recipe plugin seems to have had separate issue in addition as its links where not accessible at the expected urls according to default settings.
That was dealt with.
Around that same time as I was first using that plugin & also setting up the bbpress forum is when I noted something wrong with bbforum forum at /forums.
That is when I turned to bbpress.
It seems to be the case as I found after repeated testing the other day as I now need to finish the site & hence visiting the issue again, that if you install bbpress first & use default settings, and later after activating recipepress reloaded,the recipe plugin links do not work.
I also discovered that if on the other side you deactivate bbpress, the existing recipe plugin links work.

So to sum it up, this specific issue is still there, as described above.
If it was possible to use the short code method you suggested & still be able access bbforum settings from its admin page, etc, I would settle for that, but the time I last tried settting up a forum, I got the impression one has to use shortcodes all thru, with no equivalent centralized settings page, which made it rather complicated to administer the forums & have an overview.

Of course better would be if there was no apparent conflict.

Stephen, this was news as whenever I looked in import before, there was nothing referring to bbpress. So I checked out here, https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/import-bb-data-from-csv-file-to-bbpress-forum/. I reset everything to WP 4.0.1, and bbpress 2.5.4. and tried to follow through your instructions. But mapping fields was way too complicated for me since I would put down post-id but there wasn’t another column with a “map to”. I was ready to go back to bbconverter as the only problem I had was html code in the topics and replies which I would have to strip. Minor, as my old forum is not very big, but still tedious enough.

But then I tried this. I reset everything to WP 3.6 and bbpress 2.0.2. Checked the Tools > Import, and what do you know, there was a bbpress standalone link! Following through I converted everything over. Reviewed the test site: forums, topics, replies, voices, users, tags, and any stray html code in posts. WOW, everything was there, exactly where it should be, with exact content duplicated!

For any integration on bbpress standalone into wp, I highly recommend integrating with WP 3.6 and bbpress 2.02.

Hi

I’m back after a while. 😉
After a lot of research, enabling, disabling this & that, I discovered this issue only comes up if the recipepress reloaded plugin is activated.

It is recommended for the main recipe page to be at /recipes.
If you first install this, then whatever you do, bbpress will not be accessible at the recommended & preferred /forums.
Instead as explained above, if you try to access the forums at /forums, whereas the url remains correct & pointing to /forums, the content of the blog front page is loaded & if I remember well, any latest forum content appears listed as one of the normal blog posts!

I tried however to uninstall bbpress & disabled all other plugins, including the recipe plugin, then re-installed bbpress. The set up run normally & the forums were accessible at /forums. When I reactivated recipepress reloaded, all its links, including /recipes returned a page not found error. It is only when bbpress is disabled that the recipe pages are accessible again.

Conclusion: both plugins cannot run together, at least with default settings (?).

Quite perplexed regarding what to do next since the site has to shortly go online & both the recipe & forum sections are integral partS. I cannot put off the issue any longer.

In suggestion above, you suggested an alternative solution of using shortcodes.
I discovered at the that the forum I created, or at least it seemed works independent of the settings on the bbpress settings & admin pages & everything had to be done with shortcodes(?), or is there a possibility of an equivalent central admin area?
Or am I mistaken?

Ideally, a solution to the apparent conflict between the 2 plugins would be great, but if it cannot be gotten (any time soon/at all), is there any equally easy way to manage forums created via shortcodes?

Some further guidance would be very much appreciated.

Regards

1) Close the topic. But it seems like subscribe-notifications are only sent when the topic is open. Is there a fix for that?

I’m kind of thinking we should allow notifications to be sent from topics that have been closed.

Can you create a ticket on Trac and we can make a decision and fix this, I’m unable to test and confirm this behaviour at the moment but the ticket will remind me 🙂
