these anti-spammer and security plugins look interesting too, but i have not tested them myself, they should work fine with bbpress but always test carefully for possible confilicts with other plugins you are using, especially plugins that have similar functionality

and wordpress security is a bigger topic than just dealing with spammers, but sorting out the specifics is up to you 🙂

Can someone please help me remove the box around the name in the image below?

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

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.

[tharsheblows]

Shoot.

The problem is, I think, that current_user_can( ‘bbp_forums_admin’ ) and the topics / replies equivalents are returning false for your admins / keymasters in bbpress/bbpress.php register_post_type() starting on 473 (you want ‘show_ui’ => true when registering the post types). Oddly (?) I can’t find the bbp_forums_admin etc capabilities anywhere.

I am just checking here but you don’t have a cache or anything like that enabled, do you?

I’m just about to go to bed but will test a couple of work-arounds tomorrow sometime.

[Robin W]

If I have understood you correctly you want to change the reply form you’ll be looking at

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php which sets up the forum and on line 57 calls

bbp_the_content

this function is in

wp-content/plugins/bbpress\includes\common\template.php

line 1706

you’d probably want to write a filter fro that function

if you’re familiar with wordpress args parsing, bbpress does it in the same way

apply_filter (‘xx’ , ‘bbp_before_get_the_content_parse_args’)

and then write a function xx that adds you initial text to $args[‘before’] should do it

Don’t; have time to write and test it at the mo, but come back if you need further help

I guess this is where I need to be… the PunBB misfits…

Hello,

I am pleased to be here. I am the owner of about 16 WP web sites, that support three different businesses. One of the businesses is a network for singers, that I am preparing to refurbish into a proper membership / paid access service. Here is the link:

http://www.TheModernVocalistWorld.com

In this large network for singers, there currently is a very successful message board / forum that is hosted with PunBB. Here is the link:

http://www.TheModernVocalistForum.com

This is my hottest asset and the first to become monetized. I have learned that PunBB migrates successfully to bbpress. Can you please confirm this is still the case?

If, can you help me with the following questions:

– What are the best links or information I can pass onto my WP consultant to make this migration from PunBB to bbpress successful? Any additional tips or things to look out for?

– What plug-ins would you then recommend to make the the forum and other pieces of content on my network paid access? I was considering S2Membership… is that recommended or do you have other solutions?

– My other option is to possibly migrate everything over to the new cool, http://www.newrainmaker.com platform. The affiliate program, one point of registration, alleged claim to be less IT hassles, and other features seem very appealing! Do you bbpress experts agree that a migration to http://www.newrainmaker.com is a good idea? Any concerns or things to know before doing so?

– Is there a difference between migrating my PunBB forum to bbpress if I use it in an existing WP site or if I were to continue my migration to http://www.newrainmaker.com? (FYI… the rain maker guys advised that I move PunBB to bbpress).

– Does anyone here at bbpress specialize or have experience in this migration from PunBB to bbpress and if so, what would your fee be?

Is there a way to display unanswered topics in a single forum or in a group forum?

You can do this for all forums using sitename.tld/forums/view/no-replies, but if I go to sitename.tld/groups/groupname/forum/view/no-replies I just get a blank page. If I go to sitename.tld/forums/forum/forumname/view/no-replies, however, I get a 404.

Using latest versions of bbpress and buddypress, custom theme, login protected site so can’t post link.

Thanks for your help.

Hello People

I’m tried to install bbpress on my website http://journeybyafricans.com but I keep getting an error message Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 92160 bytes I’m currently using WordPress 4.0 and the latest version of BBpress.

Thanks

seems to be fine when I tested

I think you found a topic on an issue – since it didn’t fix it, suggest it is not relevant.

I just installed the latest version of bbPress and am going through all the configuration right now. I have everything almost exactly how I want it except the login. When a player registers for the site, they are redirected to the /wp-login page and sent an email from wordpress. Is there any way to change that page and to customize the email that they are sent to say the name of my organization instead of wordpress?

@bestru, to your four questions, no, no, oh, and no 🙁

Attachments are on the drawing board for a future release, it is a complex request because as attachments can be various file types and in particular size is the killer here, during import waiting for a file from what could be a remote source is what breaks this for us, I have a solution planned and have started testing this but at this stage it is a no go for now, avatars are also in this same boat.

For private message you will need a plugin as bbPress does not suppoort private messages out of the box, maybe BuddyPress would do the trick for you here, I’d like to be able to import private messages as BuddyPress private messages in a furture version though.

The post date should be accurate, you should have your WordPress install using the same timezone offset as your existing forum used and then times should match.

[Stephen Edgar]

As noted in your other topic, your replies here were marked as spam, I’ve unmarked them all as spam and deleted the duplicates.

Testing that same BBCode you have in your reply above (the one I left published) it does look like there is an error/conflict, I’ll take a look at this during the week and get back to you.

Again, apologies for your replies being caught by our spam filter. 🙂

[creator2000]

Hmmm… That amraiguil user is obviously a spammer!

Anyway, back on the subject. This is just a test version of my site that I’m working on, and entire FORUM has been converted / migrated from SilverStripe. First I thought that this problem can be related to that (and I guess it’s still a possibility), but all other forum processes are functioning perfectly fine — it’s just that darn reply edit that is giving me a problem 🙂

[mostlyjan]

my issue is not checking checkboxes. This plugin has never found a way to send an email other than the test emails (those work fine). Whether a user subscribes on the front end or i assign stuff through admin makes no difference.

I tried the default: test fine no digests though.
I then installed the smtp plugin: tests fine but nothing else.

does not work. pissed off client as we never got it working. no support. very frustrating.

[xprt007]

Hi there

Thank you for taking the time to look at my post.

OK, we have this in the installation instructions:

Visit ‘Forums > Add New’ and create some forums. (You can always delete these later.) 5a. If you have pretty permalinks enabled, visit yourdomain.com/forums. 5b. If you do not have pretty permalinks enabled, visit yourdomain.com?post_type=forum

I have done just that. I assume “post name” = pretty links,(or not?) If you visit yourdomain.com/forums,which in this case is here,it does not take you to the forums page, although the link suggests so. Instead, that content is what you find on the site front page as you can establish by clicking on “home”.
Also appending “?post_type=forum” to url, you will note also takes you to the site front page.

These => are the forum settings.

What more do I need to make the main forum page appear?

I do not know if it is a coincidence … I am having a similar problem with recipepress reloaded plugin, where instead of site.com/recipes taking me to the recipes page, it takes me to the same front page seen above, though the author says it is a bug in latest update of the plugin.
No other plugins are having any similar problem with links.

I otherwise do not see what more in the bbforum & buddypress settings to adjust.

Furthermore, I have created some forums, but when I try to view any of them, I get => Error 404 – The page you requested cannot be found!

Would appreciate any help.

Regards

[Robin W]

something has changed !

Have you added any functions, or might be a plugin

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

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.

Otherwise try adding this at the bottom of your functions file

function change_reply_order() {
$args['order'] = 'ASC';
 return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args', 'change_reply_order');

[Stephen Edgar]

I just tested the topic tag import and everything appears fine for me.

* I created a WordPress post tag topic
* I created a WordPress post category topic
* I created a WordPress post and added the tag topic and category topic to the post
* Imported from bbPress 1.2 with topics including the topic tag topic

All results appear fine for me, I have posts/topics correctly associated with each taxonomy:
* http://example.com/tag/topic/
* http://example.com/category/topic/
* http://example.com/forums/topic-tag/topic/

[creator2000]

Well, I really thought that might be the case, BUT…

Please take a look at this here:
http://temp.stillrunnin.com/runnin-board/topic/billetproof-is-back-in-2014/

This is a version of my site running “Twenty Fourteen” theme and only bbPress plugin activated. Same problem.

Please LMK and I can provide you with a temp login to test this further.

Thank you!

Are you able to post the solution here? Or do you not know what it is exactly?

Oddly it will send any test notifications to me if I create replies on a post or within a forum I am subscribed to. It just seems to not work sometimes. I’m not entirely sure why yet but I haven’t had much time to dig into it yet but I do know that on most occasions in real situations I have not gotten any email notifications.
