but i don’t want this boring theme

Yes, I know that – it was simply to test that it was a theme issue

as I said before

you’ll need to contact their support site for this as it’s a paid theme

http://themeforest.net/item/x-the-theme/5871901/support

they should be able to help you

Themes can be very complicated, and we don’t offer a service to make bbpress work with bespoke/paid themes – that is for the theme authors to do 🙂

[Robin W]

Strange the things you don’t put in your testing – a top level forum was one I didn’t test! 🙂

I’ve now worked a fix for this, but before I release it, I just want to check back on the search issue.

Search should hide both ‘private group’ topics and replies from search results as though they don’t exist, and this works in my test site.

Can you confirm that this is still an issue? and which version of the plugin you are using?

[quaffapint]

Hi,
I have the latest bbpress and have it set to allow anonymous users to post/reply. While they can post and they can see my replies to a thread (as admin), they can’t see their own replies.

Anyway to allow anonymous users to see all posts, replies, and create new topics in a forum?

Thanks.

[Robin W]

I found this code in my files, try this

			if ($last_active < strtotime( '-10 days') )
				bbp_close_topic( $topic_id );
		}
}
?>

change the -10 days to whatever you want

Basically just create a file called say ‘close.php’ and put this code in it. Create a directory in your site

wp-content/plugins/close

and put the file in there

then go into

dashboard>plugins>installed plugins and activate it

I haven’t tested this.

Hi, I’m looking for any solution with regards to removing of forum posts to expire after 60 days?

I tried applying the solution found in this thread

expired topics

But this code is untested, any insights?

Any help would be appreciated!

[Stephen Edgar]

Pedro,

Sorry, I havn’t used WPML, I just see this issue constantly come up for those who use WPML.

The following is on GitHub but I have no idea if it works, is up to date or works with the latest WPML.

HI,

new to this plugin.. .so far so good!! Great actually!! but I’m having trouble
1) understanding how to get the bbPress sidebar to show on my page without it showing on all the pages.

2) I tried setting up a bbpress.php page but I’m seeing where to choose that… the dropdown for the templates isn’t showing it. I renamed one of the existing templates to bbpress.php …but it’s not available to choose.

Not sure a link to the site would help since I have it set to maintenance mode…

TIA for the help.

Debi

ps…theme is Mantra, latest versions of both WP and bbpress

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks, that is a good thing, basically as your wp_posts table contains 12,878 records it looks like the importer didn’t import any replies, if it had your wp_posts table would be ~350,000.

Presuming you are doing this on a test site I would suggest you reset bbPress (Tools-> Forums-> Reset bbPress) and delete the imported users along with all the previous imported forums, topics and replies and run the import again.

[SeeingBlueS2]

If you look at my forums http://test.greatarchitect.us/forums you will see the navigation reads

Elder Scrolls Online › Forums

Why does it say Elder Scrolls Online? Where is it getting this? In no way, shape, form, or fashion should this be occurring that I can tell.

[Styled Themes]

The latest WP and bbPress versions,yes…actually tried it again with a fresh install of WP, but same issue and with twenty fourteen and thirteen.
No bbpress login widget, just logging in with the Default WordPress admin login form to get to the dashboard. So correct on the example wp-login.php url you posted. I will use my localhost on XAMPP as an example:

http://localhost/pref/wp-login.php

If I use http://localhost/pref/wp-admin I do get logged into the dashboard. The url becomes

http://localhost/wp39/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2Fwp39%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

when hitting the wp-admin url method.

[Styled Themes]

Thanks for the reply… If you are referring to the admin bar plugin for bbPress, that I don’t have, just the default WP user admin bar. I just finished testing all plugins I have installed, and one by one testing the login (each time closing the browser out), but as soon as I activate bbPress, that is when this phenomenon happens…I log into the dashboard and finding myself staring at the site’s front-page. I still have to add a subpage url to the browser address bar, or use the user admin bar at the top to get to the dashboard.

So, there is something about bbPress that is doing the front page redirect…even if I make bbPress the only active plugin. This does it on my local XAMPP location, as well as my demo site on a live server.

Incidentally, I’m on the latest WP and bbPress versions.

Hi,
I tried everything : desactivate plugins, change themes, and even reset wordpress database..
I followed every possible guide.
but nothing worked! I always get the bullet points as a list for my forums..
The link to my forum-test: http://comment-devenirriche.com/forums/
Can anyone help ?
Thank you 🙂
WordPress version: 3.9.1, bbPress version: 2.0.1, my site: http://comment-devenirriche.com/

Hello Stephen Edgar,

thanks for your reply. I did turn on WP_DEBUG, as I just got an “error” in the header part of my site. As I wanted to know what’s going on there, I activated WP_DEBUG. I guess the “error” is coming from the “warning”, not the “notices”.

I already tryed to disable all of my modules, but the error was still there. I am not sure where it is coming from exactly. I also did empty my functions.php, but nothing changed. The error also appears on other themes, not just my custom one.

I followed your links, but I think my technical understanding is not enough, to understand what the solution is. I am more of a designer than a coder.

I guess I have to reinstall wordpress completly, but I am a bit afraid, that the error will come back at some point.

The stange thing, as said, is, that the error does not appear on a mirror installation, which is exactly the same as the main one. Well, sort of. There’re even mor plugins running, for testing purposes.

Anyway – Thanks for your help so far. I will try a few other things. I also did contact our server admin, as we are running a root server. But I am not sure, that he can help me on this.

Thanks again, and have a nice sunday. 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

I just tested using [bbp-forum-index] and [bbp-topic-index] on a page and it worked fine for me.

Are you using a plugin to make the forums private or is it just a bbPress forum set to private?

Can you switch to the Twenty Fourteen theme and refresh your page and see if that works and/or disable all your other plugins to check for a conflict.

[Lumartist]

Hello everyone!

First let me say, that I am not sure if the problem is coming from bbpress. Please let me know it is a general problem.

The reason I am posting the problem here is, that it appeared right after todays bbpress-update, and there’s also a reference in the message.

This is the error message I am reciving (debugging enabled):

Warning: mysql_connect(): Headers and client library minor version mismatch. Headers:50535 Library:50617 in /home/www/xxx/www/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1372

Strict Standards: Declaration of BP_Poke_Component::includes() should be compatible with BP_Component::includes($includes = Array) in /home/www/xxx/www/wp-content/plugins/bp-poke/bp-poke-component.php on line 57

The strange thing is, that I am running an exact mirror of the page and db on a subdomain, where I am testing plugins, etc. There I am not getting the error.

I did had a search on google, but couldn’t find anything helpful. As I am not a coder or server-tech myself, I am a bit lost here. I did try a few things, like disableing plugins, or enabling another theme. But nothing helped so far.

Here’s a list of plugins I am using right now:

• (BuddyDev)BP Poke
• Advanced Custom Fields
• bbPress
• bbPress New Topics
• BuddyPress
• CodeStyling Localization
• iThemes Security
• Members
• Regenerate Thumbnails
• Require Featured Image
• rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress
• Tehnik BBPress Permissions
• WP Smush.it

I thought it might be a problem with iThemes Security, so I tryed to disable a few things, and also disabled the whole plugin. But the problem is still the same.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Best regards,

Lumartist

I’m really not sure what else I can suggest, my recommendation still stands to upgrade WordPrress and bbPress to the latest versions.

The only other suggestion that ‘may’ work when using bbPress 2.5.4 without the Thesis Theme compat is to add a bbPress wrapper template in your theme directory that may stop issue 2 from occurring.

Try creating a file in the root of your theme called bbpress.php and putting the following code into it

<?php
/**
 * bbPress wrapper template.
 
 */

get_header(); ?>

<?php while( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>

	<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

What version of vBulletin 3 did you import from?

The vBulletin 3 importer hasn’t had a great deal of testing, a quick look at the database I have here is v3.6.4

During the import did the status update showing that your ’86 forums, 12,000 threads, 346,000 replies” had been imported or are they just the stats from the vBulletin stats? (Trying to determine if you they actually all were imported or not)

[jacuzzy]

Alright, did not bump any topic > 12 months, and will not do so.

So here’s where I’m at: Figured out a fresh bbPress install from 2.1 and above has issue 1 resolved for me.
But with bbPress 2.4.1, the version I’m running, I still needed the most updated bbPress-Thesis compatibility pack to fix issue 2. Unfortunately, the bbPress compatibility pack only goes up to 1.2.4 (what I’m now running), and was only actively being updated until bbPress 2.1 or so.
I tried running a clean bbPress 2.5.3 (no compatibility pack), and issue 2 occurs. Adding the compatibility pack breaks 2.5.3 completely (and I’ve not invested time looking into code).

What’s happening now is that issue 1 (HTML for editor inside editor when editing topics) is now occurring when I try to edit replies. So I’m still having issues with the visual editor.

What puzzles me is that in the Thesis forums, some other users talked about having troubles with their visual editor as well, even with the latest (1.2.4) compatibility pack. But supposedly, someone found a fix and crossposted it in this topic and in the Thesis forums. In the Thesis forums, he claims that this fix is implemented since bbPress 2.2, but I’m running 2.4 and still having issues with the editor?

The code fix in the above link also does not work for me, since in 2.4.1, bbp_replace_the_content is no longer a method that exists in theme-compat.php. Considering that the symptoms of my current issue seems to be the same as original issue #1, I would think the fix would have something to do with a similar problem where a function is being called twice, but have no idea where to begin looking. Any ideas?

[JosiahW]

I am having the same issue all over my forums. We are using the latest versions of bbpress and BuddyPress.
bbPress 2.5.3
Buddypress 2.0.1

[Stephen Edgar]

Sorry but you only asked how to reset bbPress 1 day 3 hours ago as I write this :/

I’d suggest setting up a test install and see if you still have the same issue, you can then compare the settings between both sites.

https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/

[Stephen Edgar]

Oh! Ok, strange decision not to update where said updates may actually fix your issues so I’m not sure what we can do here to help out and I’d suggest you mention that if you are being asked to ‘fix things’ that could have already been fixed in newer versions, not specifically saying the issues have been fixed but there are vast improvements nevertheless.

I am not aware of any specific Thesis compatability issues, might be something to research through the Thesis community support forums, again you might find the latest Thesis compatability pack supports bbPress 2.5.x and have to roll back a version that works with bbPress 2.4.x.

I haven’t used s2member so I really cannot advise how best to do anything with it 😉

You could take a look at this plugin that when viewing a users profile in the backend will show you each of the bbPress capabilities assigned to a user that may help you narrow down the issues.

I can’t get the correct widgets to show on my main forum page.

All the other forum pages are listing the widgets correctly, except the main forum page. Any suggestions?

Currently on WordPress 3.9.1, the latest bbPress version. Link to site – afc1903.co.uk (note the site actually launches tomorrow evening (5th June 2014 at 7.30pm GMT)

I recently installed the eMember plugin (from Tips and Tricks HQ) and have been running bbPress and the Royal Slider slideshow plugin on my site. When all three plugins are running, however, my home page slideshow stops working. I contacted Royal Slider about the issue and they got back to me saying there is a JS error that is blocking the execution of the slideshow-and the source of it was bbPress.

My site: dev.detoxtheworld.com
Wordpress version 3.8.1
Running bbPress version 2.5.3
I’ve tested the problem using a default theme and it still occurs.

Here is the script from which the conflict originates: http://dev.detoxtheworld.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/editor.js

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.3/templates/default/js/editor.js

Can anyone tell me what the problem might be and, even better, how to fix it?

Mod Edit: I removed the code and added a link to the source for improved readability.

[John James Jacoby]

Add some debug logging to bbp_set_current_user_default_role() to narrow down the cause,(likely with dumping out the call stack.)

You should be able to cowboy code something if you’re able to reproduce the issue with a test user account. If you’re able to come up with explicit instructions on how to duplicate this on an installation that only has bbPress running, I’d love to fix anything that isn’t behaving correctly.
