Suspect you have a conflict somewhere. bbpress and buddypress will work, so it is something else.

Suggest you start by disabling all your plugins, and switching to a default theme. Add bbpress, buddypress and test that works (it should). Then add woocommerce, again it should work. Then switch to your normal theme, and test again. If that all works, then add back the other plugins one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.

I’m doing a fresh install of wordpress and have come to find that

– the current version of bbpress is not working with the current version(s) of buddypress
– I also found that WooCommerce isn’t working with the latest version of buddypress but I’ll post that on the buddypress site.

When I mean by not working, it’s causing my site to go blank.

If anyone has a solution, please advise and I will do likewise. Thank you.

I want avatars displayed, but only when one is viewing the actual post of a user. Right now the avatars appear on the widget for latest forum posts, as well as next to the username and latest post on the forum’s index.

Sorry if this has been covered. My english is only okay.

[kentlii]

sorry didnt see the answer her.
Using the latest replies widget and you click on a topic. Some topics take you to the last page of the thread and some take you to the first page. Most of the time it takes you to page 1 of the thread. So people have to click on the last page to read the latest posts in the thread. This adds a lot of extra clicks for the user, when they have to do this every time they go to another thread.

Hi,

I’ve installed bbPress, I’m using the latest version of bbPress and WordPress.

I’m not sure why but the root forum page and profile page is just showing plan text.

These two page show up with just flat text.
http://www.gaysofyoutube.com/forums/
http://www.gaysofyoutube.com/forums/users/admin

While these pages (forum and topic) actually show up with the tables and so.
http://www.gaysofyoutube.com/forums/forum/gays-of-youtube/
http://www.gaysofyoutube.com/forums/topic/hello/

Also how do I go about removing the blue status bar and the share and infobar at the bottom?

[shauny007]

Actually that was naive of me, and I now have figured out the problem, but not the fix. Here is what actually happens:

I upload items to website also, but sometimes in future the same exact item may be in the update, I would then end up with domain-name/item domain-name/item2 domain-name/item3 These are duplicates, I simply delete all these by running this code:

DELETE bad_rows.*
from wp_posts as bad_rows
inner join (
select post_title, MIN(id) as min_id
from wp_posts
group by post_title
having count(*) > 1
) as good_rows on good_rows.post_title = bad_rows.post_title
and good_rows.min_id <> bad_rows.id;

This is what is deleting all the forum posts 100%, checked and tested it. The only thing is, I do need to run this. Is there a way to exclude in this code bbpress posts, or something?

[Effycom]

I seem to have the latest bbPress Version 2.5.3 however there is an issue with the submit button? is there a way of resolving this please as people are unable to participate in my forum. the link is http://zambianmusiccharts.com/forums/forum/general-discussions/ in order to create a new topic i had to create it internally but not all users can do that. Please help.

thanks

Hello Community, I have bbpress install on my wordpress localhost site to test some functionalities. Currently i have contango theme installed. My problem is with the search result of the forum. Search the forum with topic titles i have created result in a different display. The search result display only the first blog content of a newly installed wordpress and nothing relating to forum search.

Why am I not getting the forum search results page? but rather gets the normal wordpress search results page?

I am not a programmer but fairly understand the technical details. Can any one help me.

[Scoe]

Hi All,

I’ve recently upgraded to the latest version of bbPress and WordPress and the main links within the admin (Forums, Topics, Replies) have disappeared.

The forum itself is working properly, I can get to the edit screen for each existing post by going to the public side of the site and clicking “edit page”.

I tried refreshing permalinks & going into the bbPress settings and re-saving them.

I had a similar problem on another site with different custom post types, the fix was to set
‘public’ => true when registering the post type.

Could this be the problem here?

Any help would be appreciated.

[Gautam Gupta]

Just realized that the ‘similar’ thing for topics doesn’t exist. Your method for topics is correct, and you’ll need something like this after you’ve the $words array:

$words = array_unique( array_merge( $words, wp_get_post_terms( $topic_id, bbp_get_topic_tag_tax_id(), array( 'fields' => 'names' ) ) ) );
if ( !empty( $words ) )
     wp_set_post_terms( $topic_id, $words, bbp_get_topic_tag_tax_id(), true );

The top of the code should read as (to accept the $topic_id passed by do_action):

add_action( 'bbp_new_topic',  'shmoo_auto_save_tags', 10, 1 );
add_action( 'bbp_edit_topic', 'shmoo_auto_save_tags', 10, 1 );

function shmoo_auto_save_tags( $topic_id ) {

Again, untested, but should work in principle.

[Gautam Gupta]

Untested, but this should work (put it in theme’s functions.php):

remove_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bbp_rel_nofollow' );
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'bbp_rel_nofollow' );

If you also want to remove nofollow from users’ urls, add this too:

remove_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_author_link',      'bbp_rel_nofollow' );
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_author_link',      'bbp_rel_nofollow' );

Hi,

I’m currently struggling with bbpress/wpml and my experience so far:
It works, using the unofficial wmpl-bbpress plugin – for 85%
Each language have their own forums.

Modifying the plugin (adding hooks for registration + lost password page) it works for 90% and I’m pretty shure that the rest of the issues with language switching can be solved…
.. till yo begin to add bbpress plugins:
working: GD bbPress Attachments, GD bbPress Tools, bbP Topic Views
not working so far: mark as read, bbPress Unread Posts

However, its unstable.
Sometimes – on very rare occasions – topics appear on the wrong language fork.

From WPML.org there is no serious help – just search their forums and get the picture how they handle this issues.

You may take a look at my test installation at http://new.openandromaps.org/ , it will stay online for some weeks.

I, by myself will probably set up a subdomain for the forum with ONE forum for all languages with sub_forums for the language forks.

Best regards
Christan

Thanks for the reply Stephen,

However I’m not sure the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] will help me.
My blog is at website.com/blog. If I create a page called called ‘test’ with that shortcode then it will be at:
website.com/blog/test/
Also that’s just the index page. The actual forum posts/categories etc will still be at website.com/blog/forum/*

Thanks,
Sam

Let me know if it works and/or doesn’t, Xenforo testing has been extremely limited.

[Matoca]

I don’t use an iPhone or iPad but one of my moderators does. I count on her to keep an eye on this capability for me. Today she wrote me that she can’t post at all on either after an ios update.

Is anyone able to advise me how to fix this so she can post? If she can’t post, then others who use the website on their iPhones probably can’t post either.
Thank you,
Matoca

Here is her message to me:
“Today I did an update (ios 7.0.4) to my iPad. NOW, just like my iPhone, I can not post on the forum anymore. Hmmmm……so, now it’s both my iPhone and my iPad, but both AFTER I updated the software. NOW the only way I can communicate (write) on the forum is on my computer. And as I’m rarely home and if so, not often near the computer, I am not able to post often. Hence, I have not been communicating much on the forum – now it will be less until I get this worked out. On both my phone and ipad, I can read all the posts, it updates to the latest and greatest posts, but the keyboard will not come up to write to post.

I will try to go by the Apple store here to see if they have any answers, but as this just happened today after installing the “update” to my iPad, I did not really realize the problem was related to the updates – now, I’m sure it is. Gotta love Apple!! Or not…”

Hi Robin,

That has worked but with a small issue….the image is displaying far bigger than the uploaded file which is 75x75px. What do I need to change in that code to help the formatting?

http://techdev.kemikalkitchen.co.uk/forums/forum/android/

This is on my test server but is the same environment that the final site will reside in.

Many thanks

Hi guys,

I’m attempting to import a Xenforo DB over to BBPress. It’s not too large (300 members, 4000 Posts)

When I attempt the conversion I get an error message.

Fatal error: Class ‘Xenforo_Not_Complete’ not found in /home/decerto2/public_html/dev/wp-content/plugins/bbconverter/bbc-includes/bbc-converter-class.php(39) : eval()’d code on line 1

Is anyone able to assist as I am looking at testing before I move my live board

Thanks

[Jaina “Jazzy” Jaslyn]

I’m in the “Import Forum” section of bbpress plugin – there’s no option to select for bbPress 2 (only bbPress 1). Or am I going about this the wrong way?

I’ll be making various test imports in the using wordpress’ import/export in the meantime to see how far I can get merging these 2 sites.

Can anyone explain how to set out my forum main page like yours here? http://bbpress.org/forums
you know with latest topics being the main content and forums on the sidebar?

Also it does not display very well on my site. http://cornwallautismsupport.com/forums/

[assylumn]

Hi All,

I am new to BbPress and have inherited an installation that seems to have issues.

When you select a forum from the home page it not only shows topics from that forum, but also random topics from other forums on the site.

This happens using the twentyten theme plus 2 other custom themes using different frameworks.

This is the original installation http://techiteasy.co/

And this is a clone of it on a test server with a different theme http://techdev.kemikalkitchen.co.uk/

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[barnabe]

Maybe this bug not appears if bbPress is installed before qTranslate. I’ll try an another install to test that.

Finally, even if bbPress is intalled before qTranslate, qTranslate is loaded first.

When I put a category id in the latest replies widget, the widget simply fails to appear.

It works of course when I put a forum id in it.

Please can you tell me if the widget is meant to show replies from all forums within a (forum) category?

Thanks

[Anonymous User 13302461]

The freshness shows when the post was made as opposed to showing when the latest reply was made.

Could anyone tell me how to change this please?
