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

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.

[Robin W]

seems to be fine when I tested

[Robin W]

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

[luisthegeek]

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.

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.

[spymasterhugh009]

I decided to uninstall BuddyPress because it was too damn complicated to understand for a 68 year young non-geek!

So I have installed your latest version which said it was compatible with my version of WP which has the latest updates.

If you visit SpyCraftU you will see NO pages for the forum I have set up or the topics under it. So how do I set up a Members page for the forum so people can register?

I sure as hell hope that bbPress is easier than BuddyPress which looks like a NIGHTMARE to make work!

Thanks!

Hi

I am having quite a strange problem with a test site leading to a re-direction to what appears to be the front page [In firefox, up the browser in page title section, you see “Posts – Site Name”], considering the content, if I try to go to the recommended & set abc/forums main page. Furthermore, if I try to VIEW any created, “published” forum, I get a page not found error.

This site is in a folder /abc. The site in the root folder has no problem with accessing site-in-rootfolder.com/forums. So i assume it is not a server-settings issue.

Other plugins, including 2 or so requiring “post name” permalink settings have no problem with the link settings, except one, “RecipePress reloaded”, whose author also recommends “post name” permalinks. With this, one should be able to access the main recipe page at mysite.com/abc/recipes. Instead, like in the bbforum case, although the url appears correctly, the content is clearly that of the blog front page!
Resetting the permalinks, like he recommends, changes nothing.
After explaining the problem to him, he said it was a bug in the plugin & the code he gave me to try out, partly corrected the problem, because mysite.com/abc/recipes this time correctly showed the main recipes page. The only problem is, it seems to affect other links leading to page not found errors until I either remove the code or disable the recipe plugin.
That code was just for testing, so I guess he is going to improve on it.

Since the bbforum plugin (& this recipepress reloaded), unlike ALL other plugins which are all OK & their respective content can be found in its rightful place, I guess there is an issue also with bbforum.

I have tried to unistall & re-install bbforum/buddy press, deactivated the rest of the plugins, etc to no avail.
This is the .htaccess I have, or get whenever I reset the permalinks:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /abc/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /abc/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

For buddypress, the links to members, groups, etc are all OK.

I hope with the description of the problem, the source of & solution to the issue can be identified & suggested.

I am using the latest version of WordPress & all modules.
Same problem when using twentythirteen theme.

Link

PS: in case a helper finds the conditions on site different from those described, it might be code from the author of recipress reloaded plugin, which has a similar issue is being tested or implemented.

Thank you in advance.

I was using a standalone bbpress for many years, but the latest WordPress update did something to mess up cookie integration. The writing was on the wall for my old standalone forum, I decided to move forward and upgrade and migrate.

A sleepless week later, it is done.

First, it imported all posts, even years-old spam, so I deleted that migration and figured out how to really delete spam in the standalone, and then imported again.

Then I found out that tags were not integrated, rather if tags were in the forum, they simply deleted any tags or custom taxonomies with the same name in the wordpress install. The site relies heavily on these tags, so we we spent a few days re-tagging everything and re-checking.

Now this morning I see that one entire category of the wp install was deleted. Luckily it was not a heavily trafficked section of the site. At this point we’ve put days of work into this data, so rather than roll back, we’ll recreate that category.

bbpress has given our site community many things over the years, I can’t complain at all. But the new version is much slower than the standalone version, and much harder for us to edit and modify. My viewers actually have a diminished experience now.

The tide has turned over the years. While WordPress fumbled with bbpress and buddypress, Facebook came to the fore and basically sucked all the community out of the wp platform. It’s a shame, and not likely to turn around for any of us here. I applaud the hard work of the devs who worked on this platform over the years, but it has been an exhausting experience this last week, and I am not done yet. It will be another sleepless night.
