Well, when you have a forum that is image based, it is a pain to have to use image urls only. We are an art group and showing images is necessary for everything we do. It seems to me like the administrators of each forum should have the ability to decide whether to trust their users or not. I really wish that we could have the TinyMCE for all participants. I tried a couple of different plugins and some could see the editor and others couldn’t. Then, I tried RT-Media’s plugin and test each update of theirs, but it doesn’t work.

A big problem with using image urls (if you can’t load them into wordpress as the admin) is that that image could disappear if the hosting post is deleted or if the site goes down. We are using the GD BBPress Attachments plugin for attachments, which is a nice thing to have, but it does not do well if you are explaining something and showing several images which would be best embedded inside of the text.

I looked everywhere for an explanation of what the symbols mean in this bbpress editor and couldn’t find anything, so I did a demo for our members: http://www.tafaforum.com/user-groups/tafa-forum-help/forum/topic/text-editor-or-wysiwyg/

It’s not intuitive and a couple of the buttons seem to be useless. Most of our members will have no clue as to what they mean and using symbols that are commonly around on text editors would have been helpful.

Things are finally working pretty well, but it’s been quite the long road in getting this set up. I think there should be a warning in documentation on bbpress: “Non-coders beware! You will need coding experience to make this work!”

Hello,

When I click favorite or subscribe button in bbpress, it doesn’t work with showing “undefined”

But, when I click these buttons by right click “open new windows” then it works.

you can test it in this website http://romentor.com/topics/test1/

thanks you very much.

Hi,

I am having a problem with bbpress forums and buddypress groups. I have activated bbpress and buddypress on a sub-site on my sub-domain (http://community.example.com). In bbpress settings, I selected the checkbox “Allow BuddyPress Groups to have their own forums”. Now in buddypress when I am creating a group, in step 3, I should be able to select a checkbox (Yes, I want this group to have a forum.) to enable forum feature for my group, but for some reason the checkbox is not showing up and I cannot proceed by clicking “Next Step” button. I am using the latest version of BP (1.8), bbpress 2.3.2 and WP 3.5.2. The same setting works just fine on my local XAMPP but it doesn’t work on production server.

Here are some screenshots, this is how step 3 looks now: http://i.imgur.com/sT8jRv9.jpg

And this is how it should be (local is fine): http://i.imgur.com/6mKn4uE.jpg

After this error, when I click on my groups, I can see the group is created with no avatar (because I never got to step 4) and when I click on the group and go to Admin > Forum > Now I see the check box but when I enable it and then select one of my forums from the dropdown and click save, I get this error “Are you sure you want to do this? Please try again.”

When I check my error_log file, I get this error:

[28-Jul-2013 22:51:11] PHP Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/group.php on line 461

I followed these instructions step by step to create a sitewide forum and forum for my buddypress groups: http://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

Does anyone have the same issue with buddypress?

Thanks

I have installed the latest version of bbpress on my test site. I experiance strange behaviour, when I click on the user name in the forum, it should take me to the user profile but t doesn’t

if you visit here:

http://kooksjournal.net/forums/

and click on the test user it takes me here:

http://kooksjournal.net/forums/users/test/

but the actual profile is for some strange reason is using the first name and the last name of the user to generate the user profile link, here in the example:

username: test
first name: test
last name: user

user profile shows when I use firstname and the last name in combination (When I am logged in as test user), if I am not logged in it gives 404 error, but bbpress is using the username to link to bbpress user profile. In actual fact the profile is at …/”First name””Last Name”/

http://kooksjournal.net/forums/users/testuser/

I think this is a strange behavior, I was wondering if anybody has experienced this? I searched the forum could not find anything about it.

I’m currently running v2.0. I see from the chnagelog that that latest version (bbPress 2.3.2) is safe for upgrade to any 2.x version.

However, would people recommend going straight from version 2.0 to 2.3.2 or go to an intermediate version first and then on – or use an older version for stability?

Thanks

We are considering BBPress to power discussions on our high traffic website. The site also runs WP and we’ve had our share of scalability issues as we’ve grown. Searching the forums here I was terrified to read about known issues with slow query times and with private forums.

Can anyone confirm that these problems have been fixed with the latest version? is BBPress really scalable?

Our traffic / setup info:
– over 150k registered users
– over 1M unique visitors per month
– running latest version of WP v3.5.2
– have APC and Memcache installed on Apache
– use W3TC
– use HyperDB

Hello,
I am having the exact same problem.

2 weeks ago I had downloaded the forum and was able to have others test it and it worked fine without anybody having to register.

However, now that is not the case. I have gone to forum settings and made sure that I unclicked the ‘anonymous posting’ box, making it possible for anybody to post (Theoretically).

I have also gone to the “Discussions” settings and unclicked the box “users must be logged in and registered to comment).

Originally when I uploaded the forum, people who replied had to enter their name, email and optionally their website. That was fine. Where did it go? I can’t recall if there has been an upgrade since then.

My site is http://www.cclhdn.org and you can see “MEMBER FORUM” on the top menu (far right).

I use Suffusion theme, and have also recently dowloaded Askimet and bbPressCaptcha. However, the problem was there before I did this. Also, I can’t figure out how to use bbpressCaptcha with bbPress, but maybe that will come when people can actually respond.

I would really appreciate some help with this, I’ve been trying to fix this for about 3 days now and need it to be done by the time of a newsletter launch this Thurs!

Thanks,
Rebecca

Just downloaded the bbPress for the forum option and trying to mess with it before I can tell my company to use it. Able to create forum and topic and link them to each other. Also, able to embed the forum in a page. Now everything is set up on the forum for public and open, but when I visit the forum to test it, it won’t let me reply to it.

I am doing this in a different browser and not logged in on that browser so that doesn’t mess it up. Please help.

i’m using bbpress with buddypress, latest versions of both and latest version of wp.

the recent topic widget displays topics from private group forums to everyone… groups are private for a reason… is this a bug or?

[dcleeds]

Sorry for butting in your conversation, but is there always a way that you can add the thumbnails against the latest topics, from the featured image?

[dcleeds]

Hi,

I have searched but cannot find a plugin that works as a widget – it lists your latest topics, along with a thumbnail of the featured image you’ve added to the topic. The widget can be used in your main WordPress powered blog to promote the forum.

Does anyone know if there’s such a plugin out there?

Wordpress is in Russian, but the plugins are in English

[John James Jacoby]

Huh. That’s interesting. I’ll need to investigate this. Anything unique to your setup that would be helpful for testing?

[kovang]

Extracted structured data

I updated to the latest version of WordPress SEO and when I open my forums none of my threads populate and when I open a topic the most recent thread shows up but no user info or replies populate. I would like to continue using WordPress SEO as a lot of work has been done on it and afraid I will have to change to Ultimate SEO.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am currently using wordpress 3.4.2 and bbpress 2.02

[penny777]

I am using the latest versions of wordpress and bbpress. After I installed my bbpress, created categories and forum and created a link to the index it won’t move up or down. I click on the link and it takes my to a page that doesn’t have a bbpress sidebar but it has a wordpress sidebar. I can’t move up or down in my forum. I read somewhere that my theme may not be compatible with bbpress WP Tweaks. Also, not all of my forum is showing. Where it say freshness is being squeezed to the left of my screen. How can I get all of my forum to show up on one page,how can I get my forum to move up and down and is there a way to have my forum show up in a separate window or page. In otherwords, I don’t want my wordpress sidebar to show up on my bbpress forum page.

BBpress has reduced the text editor to a minimal one that is really sub-par, in my opinion. I would really like to use something like a TinyMCE version that works for all of the users. There is this one, set up for bbpress, but only authors and above see it: http://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

We are an arts org and we need to have good ways to share visual content. I loaded GD BBPress Attachments which is fine for uploading images and docs, but you can’t insert them into the text: http://www.dev4press.com/plugin/gd-bbpress-attachments/

I found this one: http://premiumsoftware.net/CLEditor/Index, but it’s not as nice as the TinyMCE ones that I’ve used and it shows the bbpress one (the minimal one) right above it, so that is confusing, too. Do you have any recommendations of what would work well for us?

Site: http://www.tafaforum.com/
We’re using the latest updates of bbPress, etc.

I’m pretty savvy (even though I don’t write code) and I don’t even know what “ol” means, much less the other artists who are using our forum…

[scr33ner]

hi there. the problems seems to be not a normal behaviour. dont know why, but on a testpage i have no problems.

i think thats this behaviour has nothing to do with my theme. perhaps with the following:
– wordpress with german language file
– many plugins installed

someone can help me? do you need more information?

[peter-hamilton]

This is the single most important update/plugin I am waiting/hoping for.
Would make bbpress more like the VBulletin and IPBoard.

AM still looking to solve this.

[jralston]

I am attempting to import bbpress 1 forum into the new bbpress plugin on a new site using the Import Forums tool in WordPress. I successfully did this in a test – once. I tried to do another test and haven’t been able to do it again successfully. When I start the conversion I get the yellow box at the bottom “Starting Conversion” and the turning wheel… the wheel keeps turning… an hour later, it’s still turning. It’s not progressing. I have to quit out of it. There is no new data in the DB. What is the issue here?

[Hansaplastique]

One step further: if I try to submit this code in my test environment (local network), it works just fine.

Does anyone have an idea how to debug/approach this issue?

[m1000]

Yeah – http://pastebin.com/zpaQhXvD

[daivdwhite]

I thought you need to figure it out to the admin!

[Razva]

Hello,

I would like to know how to make the “frontpage” of our forum exactly like this forum (bbPress Support). The frontpage should have a paginated “stream” with the latest topics, in the sidebar I should have the forums categories, etc.

Can you please give me a hint?

Thanks!

Seems that it is quite outdated but how you measure your server response time? Have you checked how your server responds for different locations?
