Yep, I ran all the repair options per Buddypress’s instructions. I ran them a second time after I discovered this issue. I created that test forum after that point, so I ran them again just now for fun. Still no change. 🙁

The only next steps I can think of are to hit that ominous “Reset bbPress” button or dig up my backups and just try again.

Hi,

This is my first time using bbPress. I just added bbPress to one of my test sites, tweaked and did a few things, then I noticed I couldn’t add or edit forums.

As much as I can remember, this is what I did. I created a new forum and a new topic, then replied a few times. I unchecked the “Automatically give registered visitors the Participant forum role” and “Prefix all forum content with the Forum Root slug” checkboxes. Then I created a user with a role of Participant and signed in as that user. I don’t remember doing anything as that user other than looking around. When I signed back in as the Admin/Keymaster I couldn’t add or edit forums. I double checked the user roles and deleted bbPress and reinstalled it.

There is no way to edit a forum, the edit link is gone: http://tinyurl.com/mk2qqzz. When I try to add a new forum, it says “You are not allowed to edit this post”.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Emma

Wow, I am apparently not the smartest knife in the drawer 🙂

Thanks!

Hey Stephan, thanks for your reply.

I’m running punBB 1.4.2. I actually upgraded to the latest version before I started the conversion process.

There is a _posts table but not a “message text” field. It’s called just “message”. All the others look just the way you describe them.

[Stagger Lee]

OK, one hour passed. I started with “Purge Previous Import” disabled and it doesnt work.

Stop => Start doesnt work.

Wish someone could test it locally.

I just migrated my legacy Buddypress forums to bbPress, and at first it seemed that everything was working great. Then I clicked on a topic and saw the notice info, and the reply form, but I presume that posts should be displaying in between. There’s nothing there in the code (so it’s not a CSS issue).

I created a brand new forum, a brand new topic, which you should be able to see here: http://atdp.berkeley.edu/forums/topic/test-topic-2/
There should be two posts (the topic post and a reply), but there’s nothing.

We use Buddypress groups, and the group forums have the same behavior. The forum and topic ULs look like they imported fine, but no posts appear when you click on a topic. So the symptoms persist for both pre- and post-migration forums, and for both group and site-wide forums.

I can see all topics and replies just fine in the backend and in the database, though it’s confused me that posts seem to be saved in the wp_posts table, not wp_bb_posts. I also can’t figure out where the new forum gets saved, because it’s not in wp_bb_forums, nor do new topics appear in wp_bb_topics. Anyway, they appear in Buddypress activity streams, and I can edit them in the backend, so it seems they’re just not making it to the page.

I’m using the theme Custom Community 1.17.3, and thought maybe that was the issue. Nope. Same exact behavior with Twenty Twelve and the default Buddypress theme.

I went through the standard toggling of plug-ins and saw no change.

WP version is 3.6.1, Buddypress 1.8.1, and bbPress 2.4. I updated to 2.4.1 in the hopes that that might fix something, but nope. I closely followed these instructions for migrating my data.

I’d love some troubleshooting ideas, because I’m about out!

[zilveer]

I recommend you to just download the latest files from the trunk and upload it to your server and it should solve your issue.
After the v2.4.1 is release you could then just update your bbpress plugin again

[Jgonl]

I use the theme Boldy
but I’ve proven with the theme Twenty twelve
I’ve also tested with the theme Buddypress Default 1,8,1

and all makes me do the same.

nested responses activated. paging not work
Nested responses disabled. paging if it Works

thanks Niuserre

You can choose the order than forums appear in by giving them an Order value. I usually give mine order values like 10, 20, 30, 40 so that if I add another forum later I don’t have to reorder them I can just add order 25 to put it in between 2 existing forums.

I don’t think there’s an easy way to have forums change order by activity but if activity is important to you then you should consider having Latest Topics as your default view instead of categories (like https://bbpress.org/forums/).

[Jgonl]

I have done a test with 25 response and 20 replies.
and should jump pagination, I have it set to 2
and nothing.
I remove the nested responses and working properly.

[EL45]

Running the latest versions:

WordPress: 3.6.1
BBPress: 2.4

[EL45]

Hello,

Calling <?php echo do_shortcode('[bbp-topic-index]'); ?> shows the latest 15 posts and it does show the pagination ie: “1 2 … 7 →”. However when selecting the next page (or any page for that matter) I get redirected to ?post_type=forum&paged=2 but the same 15 posts remain.

Has anyone seen this or know a fix?

[Unit9]

I’d like this too. For some reason there was a default in my previous bbpress site, but in the latest installation, I have ‘No Forum’ selected.

Any way we can change this?

[niuserre]

Just tried it and that doesn’t work, it updates the slug but bbPress doesn’t seem to pull its title from anywhere editable within the admin area.

However, if just changing the word Forums to Classrooms would solve your problem then it can be done via a function. This should work but please note I’m not a developer and I haven’t bug tested this or anything.

http://pastebin.com/uz9Ndb4i

I added this to my WordPress theme’s functions.php (before the end ?>) and it worked. Hope it will for you too!

Download the latest and specific vBulletin v3 importer from https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2417

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/raw-attachment/ticket/2417/vBulletin3.php

Upload with FTP to your server into to /wp-content/plugibs/bbpress/includes/admin/converters

[CC-Cailin]

Awesome! Thank you… One more question though.
After using your code, if there has been no posts made in a forum, it shows a random time (which seems to be the time I created the forum) and the topic title appears blank. How can I do this:

if the forum has posts, show the latest post title and time (the code you gave me), otherwise show “No topics posted yet”.

[joyanne1960]

Thanks for the reply.

I put the edit time to 30,000 minutes and 300,000 seconds. Then I entered a reply to my test post, clicked send, my reply posted. Then I clicked on the “edit” button. But instead of giving me my reply in edit form, I’m redirected to a “404” error.

[Pippin Williamson]

None of those look like super likely candidates, but I’d recommend deactivating all of them for a test to confirm.

[nathan1342]

I’ve installed bbpress, WordPress 3.6.1 and 2.4 for bbpress, and when I goto open the forum i get this error “Fatal error: Class ‘WP_Post’ not found in D:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress-test\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\core\theme-compat.php on line 375”

Anyone encountered this before and know how to fix it? I’ve searched the forums but came up empty.

Thanks!

I am using the latest install of wordpress, buddypress and bbpress as well as gravity forms. I am needing to place a Gravity From inside a private bbpress forum topic as this form is meant to be seen only by members of this private buddypress group. When using the typical “add form” button at the top of the edit topic page which adds the shortcode to embed the form it places the shortcode there but then the shortcode is the only thing that appears when viewing the topic, not the intended form. Is shortcode not the way to do this and if not what is the best way to proceed to allow only members of this private group access to this form?

[TheTwister]

Hello, I’ve added a plugin into my wordpress (phpScheduleIt)and its interfering with this plugin. It is coming up with a message saying

Fatal error: Call to a member function add_query_var() on a non-object in /home/guildfor/public_html/wp-includes/rewrite.php on line 47

Any idea how I can solve it?

I have the latest virsions of WordPress and bbPress.

[younes0]

Problem solved when upgrading to latest WordPress (2.6.1) and bbPress (2.4). I have WPML too.

Great work , thanks.

[jralston]

I need some assistance please. I have looked all over the web and I have not found any information on how to get breadcrumbs to appear for bbpress installation. All is working fine for me so far. I am using plugin-bbpress.php as my template. There is already <?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?> in that template but no breadcrumbs are appearing. Using the latest 2.4 bbpress plugin. Help?

[Xevo]

Best test is to always test in native themes, as most plugins are tested in this.

[Kaliceos]

In my test install with default theme, I don’t see any div in replies, only paragraphs. So I guess it’s true 😉
