Hello Stephen,
1) I am using XAMPP1.8(3) locally. I chose XAMPP for Windows. I did install it over 1 year ago. so I do not remember well, but it is from the same location: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html.
2)What is “Window Xampp Apache (3.1.0.3.1.0)” – I found this info on XAMPP control panel. it is version 3.1.0.3.1.0. but it is not right information for you. 🙂
3)We have a patch ready to ship with bbPress 2.5.1
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2481
I do not know how to install the patch. can you provide the detail steps? I would love to test it. I also do updates/installation inside the wordpress panel. so I do not know how to manually do patch.:)
4) If the patch is not working, how can un-install it or what should I do? so I can have recovery plan.
Happy thanksgiving!!!
thank you

If you could test that patch that would be great, I have tested it on XAMPP 1.8.3 , Apache, IIS and a couple of other systems but we’d like some feedback on the patch before we release 2.5.1 to make sure we haven’t broken something else. 🙂
I use XAMPP locally and I never had this issue, I am using XAMPP 1.8.3 from http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
What is “Window Xampp Apache (3.1.0.3.1.0)” and where can I find it to download and test with?

Hi,
This is definitely a bug in bbp 2.5 on Windows. 2.4.1 does not have this issue. You can reproduce it by reverting to 2.4.1 (works again) -> update to 2.5 (doesn’t work again).
<link rel="stylesheet" id="bbp-default-css" href="http://localhost/wordpress37/wp-content/C:devhtdocswordpress37wp-contentpluginsbbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css?ver=2.5-5199" type="text/css" media="screen">
Windows 7 x64, httpd+php+mysqld, latest stable WP, BP, BBP
It shouldn’t do – just tested with bbPress 2.4.1 and editing by admin in either the dashboard or in the options when viewing the post doesn’t change it’s “published” date, which is what the forum uses as it’s display order.
Have you got any plugins or changes you’ve made that could affect this.
And.. has this just started happening and what version of bbPress are you on?
Sorry, I forgot to mention I did disable all plugins with no luck. Same results. I did not try twenty thirteen theme. Tried that this morning and still have the same results.
I’m on the latest WordPress. Let me know what other information might be useful. Thanks.
Greetings to All,
I am having trouble with bbPress or Buddypress. I have posted a few test forums but the Sign Up process is not working.
Everything works fine with my “social login plugin” but I never recieve any email to activate when signing up straight through my website or bbPress/BuddyPress. I tried this a few times without any plugins and it still did not function.
The users are showing up on the back end, but not able to login after submitting information to create profile.
Please help, I would like for this to work before I start my email campaign. Thanks

Please take your precious time and get into this topic to share your opinion with all of us…
Apologies, just testing reply functionality
Can anyone show me how to create a custom list of a forums topic for a section on my homepage? Essentially I’m looking for the bbpress equivalent of this:
<?php query_posts('showposts=5'); ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?> - <?php the_time('M Y'); ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
It would also want to filter by forum and sort by “Latest” and “Hot” (Hot being most “Voices”). Basically mimicking the “(bbPress) Recent Topics” Widget.
I’m guessing that your making tests with a copy of your forum, right?
1- Check in your DB for the last topic imported and then check in your SMF DB for the following topic and delete it from the SMF admin, then restart the import. I kinda had the same problem with my first attempts and it seemed that one or two topics were causing the interruption of the import. Why? I do not know 🙂 I didn’t take the time to sort it out, I was just testing.
2- That’s normal, after you import you have to go to TOOLS -> FORUMS and then repair forums. For a large forum like yours do 1 checkbox at a time. Here your replies will be attached to their corresponding topics and it also fixes another couple things, I think when you see the page it explains itself.
3- That’s right, it will not import the hidden state but you can set that later on each forum you need to.
Cheers.
Hi, have a nice day all.
I might got the same problem as @infostrides , mine also a very large forum database as I do mentioned earlier. I do host on my own dedicated rack server with xeon & 8gb ram (supposed to be no memory limit like shared hosted)
At first I thought it was conflicted with existing wp database, so I do test on the new fresh wp installation > import the smf database , then planned to import post / pages (from existing wp) later. Somehow it gave me the same problem.
1 – The import process seems stuck at 5K++ post or topic something. No moving and no error reported.
2 – I’ve checked, in many of forums topic, seem to have reply count, but when browsing the topics page, none post listed except the first post – I think it occur due to fail import process.
3 – The hidden/private forum appear as normal forum – not hidden (it’s ok since I can set it later I think).
I still trying working on it until now. 🙂
Regards
Nothing to thank me for, after a couple years wanting this import script, I’m more than glad to help, I just want to see it work for as much people as possible. I tried everything this past 4 or 5 years I think to combine my forum with my wordpress, I didn’t want a blog nor I wanted just a forum, and thanks to you and bbPress I’m so close to finally have what I wanted.
And thank you for that link, I was testing with 100 rows per second, I’m not on a dedi, but in my little VPS I think I could at least try 500 every 0.2 or something close.
Cheers and good night 🙂
That’s weird, on every test I did I always saw some progress even if it was slow.
I always check on phpmyadmin to see if the DB is growing while the conversion is in process, maybe you should take a look, if the script is doing nothing checking your DB could save you some hours.
Cheers.
Just installed it and did some tests. Seems to work great so far. Thanks!
Howdy,
I’ve got the latest bbPress installed on my site and I am wondering if there is a way to be notified when a new thread is created?
It would beat checking it multiple times to see any new activity.
Thanks!
Thank you so much Stephen. That should be the solution, members can go and create topics from your example link. I created a test topic from your example link as a member and my topic appeared on member profile Forums tab. Amazingly, far from what I thought. Thank you so much.
Each ‘BuddyPress Group’ can only have one (1) forum attached to the BuddyPress Group.
So when looking at eg http://localhost/mynewdomain/groups/test-group/forum/ there will only ever be 1 forum maximum displayed there, the one forum attached to that one group.
If you want to see the full forums list you need to add a link on your primary menu to http://localhost/mynewdomain/forums/
Thanks 🙂
Yes, I see this on your site, I just can’t reproduce it.
There are a couple of improvements that can be done for the ‘Reply Widget’ code so I will go and implement that and do some more testing.
Longshot here, removing and adding the widget from your site. 😉 Delete the widget from your footer sidebar and any other instances of the widget in the ‘Inactive Widgets’ section. Now add the widget back again? How did that go?
I see. This at least provides me with a solution: we need to make many of these forums sub-forums. I did a test; if I set one of these forums to be the sub-forum of another on this list, a forum not previously appearing on this page appears at the bottom.
This is resolved now, since this is built into bbPress. I am curious though why this limitation was built it. It seems like something the admin should decide, not bbPress, but perhaps it was to keep database load down, or to just protect the bbPress brand (to keep bbPress powered-sites from looking ugly)? Anyways, much appreciated.
I installed bbpress with buddy both are latest version on my WP new installation, I register as a new member having a participant role on bbpress but I noticed that when I clicked on “FORUM” tap on my buddy profile there no link to create a new topic, I want to enable topic creation for my members. Maybe am not doing something right pleas help.
Thanks for this and yes, confirmed 🙁
I have added a patch to the bbPress Trac Ticket #2472
I also added the full Mingle.php with the patch included, could you download this and test it.
It should fix both the issue where multiple topics have the same title and also renamed topics.
Yes totally.
You can create a full width page forum if you wish – if your theme has a full width page option then just create a full width page, put the index shortcode within it [bbp-forum-index].
But it may be better to have a separate sidebar, so that you can have login and latest posts – see http://www.gospbc.co.uk/forums for an example.
Once you have installed bbpress, then install a plugin called bbPress WP tweaks. it gives you a forum specific sidebar, so you can add login and latest posts widgets
You can also use a plugin called “widget logic” with your normal sidebar to control what widgets are seen on what pages. For instance a widget will not appear if you use the logic !is_bbpress()m or will appear if you use is_bbpress()
Hello, I have installed bbpress and added a forum and topic.
WordPress and BBPress are both the latest version.
The forum shows in a really odd way with items stacked on top of each other.
http://imagphoto.com/forums/forum/new-forum/
Secondly, the breadcrumb link to the forum results in a 404 http://imagphoto.com/forums/forum/
Yet the parent link in the breadcrumb works http://imagphoto.com/forums/
Is it possible to use pages and the shortcodes to have the forum within a page so that I can control the settings of the page and maybe dump the sidebar to see if that corrects the issue? I checked the documentation but could not see anything about this specific issue.
Many thanks for your help 🙂
