One more time…

By which I mean (JIC I’m using the wrong term) you get < s t r o n g > Test < / s t r o n g > rather then seeing Test as you’d expect in the text box.

I never know how to write so tags will show up….

By which I mean (JIC I’m using the wrong term) you get < s t r o n g > Test < / s t r o n g > rather then seeing Test as you’d expect in the text box.

I’ve set things up so that you get the regular TinyMCE editor for making posts, and for MAKING posts it works great, but when you attempt to edit the post you get the HTML back in it’s “sanitized” form.

By which I mean (JIC I’m using the wrong term) you get ‘Test‘ rather then seeing Test as you’d expect in the text box.

The code comes back the & l t ; and & g t ; rather then the < and >.

Workaround in place:

i am using the “Redirection” plugin as a work around for now.

The broken “forum” will go to the top of the forums regardless of where you are at
and am making a new page to use the latest topics shortcode in to direct the broken “topic” link to (so it at least has some sense in where it brings the user to).

would rather remove these lines though.

Hello,

I manage a website (missdots.com) and I’m having issues with my bbpress forum. I’m using wordpress 3.5.1 and bbpress 2.3.1

My issue is that whenever a new user registers to use the forum, they are sent an email with their password as is usual; however, when they go on the site to login, entering the login information does absolutely nothing. The topics and replies still carry the disclaimer “you must be logged in to create a new topic/ reply to this topic”. I’ve tried logging in using the test user I created on both the login page I created and a login widget, both to no avail.

Even when I’m logged in as the admin and can edit pages/posts/etc, it’s still telling me on the website that I must be logged in to use the forums.

I have the forum settings set so that the default user role is “participant” and the general setttings set so the default user role is “contributor”. (Also to keep my forum up and running right now, I have it set so that anyone can post w/o registering, although I’d like to ultimately not use this method)

Does anyone have any clues on how to fix this?

Important Upgrade Notice: Version 2.0.0 only for bbPress 2.3 or higher!

Download the plugin from here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-search-widget/

Version 2.0.0 of this plugin was released recently, and it has the requirement of bbPress 2.3 or higher in order to work! That’s because bbPress 2.3+ comes with built-in search functionality.

My plugin now builds on top of that and this brings the end to theme & template issues for the search results, finally!
The plugin’s widget is now like an extended version of the regular search widget – you get up to 13 options for the widget and/ or search form – which are really cool, not only for support forums 🙂

Also, now there’s an additional SHORTCODE with a bbPress search form! You can add this Shortcode anywhere Shortcodes are supported. See FAQ for parameters and usage examples.

Further, a new feature I am really, really proud of, is a new Widgetized Content Area for “Not found” forum search results. This means you are not shown this lame & tiny “Oh bother…” message any longer but can customize this whole page via widgets! How cool is that? — This is optional! If this additional widget area has active widgets placed in it then it shows them on the frontend, if the area is empty, bbPress default behavior is displayd.

I hope you like the refactoring and the new features.

If you didn’t upgraded yet to bbPress 2.3+ you really should consider it’s worth it!

Thank you all users for using my plugin, for testing it, for all feedback! You guys rock!
–Dave 🙂

Even more problems … now linking isn’t working from the Visual editor.

When I click “Add Link” in the display box, it refreshes the page with the following URL:
http://lionsreport.com/forums/topic/testing-again/?_ajax_linking_nonce=3402f6c235&href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.blah.com&linktitle=&wp-link-submit=Add+Link

Awesome.

Just awesome.

These features worked fine in 2.3.

[Nate]

Jared,
Here’s an example: I just ran a bunch of test posts on a private forum, and they all parsed fine, with two exceptions.

First, the blockquote function isn’t working. It moves it forward in the Visual editor, but doesn’t parse at all.

Second, I decided to create a bulletted list, and this was the result.
<span style=”line-height: 13px;”>slkdfjsdklajf</span>
(bullet) sdafkaldjfklsad
(bullet) sdafkasldfsjda

So two of the three bullets parsed, but in the top one, it didn’t parse and the code itself surfaces instead.

i am having a problem with the automatically generated links that are suppose to bring you back to the above level pages. when i go into a forum you see the drill down location twice. Once on the line before the forum name and once on the line after the forum name. The first occurrence has the word “forum” in between the the home link and current forum and tries to go to http://www.lbpunderground.com/forums/forum/ were you encounter 404 error. the second version with forums works and leads to http://www.lbpunderground.com/forums/ as it should.
below is example of structure of how it is showing up with some comments added:

Home › Forum › first (“forum” here leads to broken page 404)
first (forum title)
Home › Forums › first (“forums” leads to the correct forum directory)

here is the page the above is taken from: http://www.lbpunderground.com/forums/forum/first/

another similar problem is when you go down into a topic the first line. now has “Topic” as the location between home and the current location on the first line. Again on the 3rd line the the drill down location is correct and functional. In the first line the link “Topic” leads to error 404 also.

Home › Topic › another test (topic leads to 404 error)
another test (topic title)
Home › Forums › category 1 › cat1 forum1 › another test (working drill down links)

the above example is taken from the page: http://www.lbpunderground.com/forums/topic/another-test/

ideally i would like help to remove the first set of links, as their logic is not as ideal as the second set even if they are working properly. Or just a solution to fix them to work properly. But really i am not sure why the first set is there.

here is a description of my setup:
wordpress: Version 3.5.1
bbpress: Version 2.3.1
buddypress: Version 1.7.1
wordpress theme: responsive

I’m using WordPress 3.5.1 and bbPress 2.3.1. My site is here (forums are restricted but I created one sample one that isn’t):

http://www.redkitecreative.com/dev/ivas/forums/forum/sample-forum-for-checking-fancy-editor/

I have ‘Use the fancy WordPress editor to create and edit topics and replies’ enabled, but the fancy editor never appears, not even for logged-in site admins. I tested it with three user levels. I tried switching to Twenty Twelve but it made no difference.

I’m using TinyMCE Advanced on this site, I tried disabling it but the fancy editor is still not appearing. Please help.

I need it to parse and it isn’t parsing (it will work intermittently, but when it does, if you go in to edit, it only displays the code block). Extremely frustrating and new to the latest update .

[nickmartin]

Just noticed it also seems to install the bbPress widget on my admin frontpage, and if I try to click on one of the categories I get “Hey, Are you trying to cheat?”

I was just able to install bbPress on another fairly new WP install of mine, so it seems like it’s this WP install that is bugging me.

I am using the latest WP 3.5.1 and all themes/plugins are up2date.
I am using latest Arras theme 1.5.1.2.

Here is a list of the active plugins I have running:

Akismet
All In One SEO Pack
Associated Posts Lite
bbPress
Fast Secure Contact Form
GD Star Rating
Google Analytics for WordPress
Google XML Sitemaps
Quick Page/Post Redirect Plugin
Redirection
Simple Local Avatars
Smart Youtube PRO
WordPress Backup to Dropbox
WordPress Related Posts
WP eMember
WP No Category Base – WPML compatible
WPtouch

Hoping someone has an idea as I would LOVE to try our bbPress for my main site.

Thanks!

[Nate]

… to my knowledge, this was never a problem with 2.3. Did this last update cause all of these issues? I swear I tested the living hell out of this thing and NEVER came across these problems before.

[Melanie_D]

After testing a few times. I deactivated bbPress and BuddyPress. Reset to default user roles. Activated bbPress then BuddyPress, then setup permalink settings for bbPress and everything works great now.

Just upgraded to the latest and can’t embed media … just results in URLs that are linked. Is this a problem?

Hello again,

I’m new to Buddy Press and trying to experiment with a personal site using WordPress 3.5.1 with I the latest version of my theme, DynamiX, which is supposedly BBPress Friendly.

http://thebrotherhoodguild.com

I am trying to create different groups and it looks as though I have but I cannot seem to actually -go into them. When I click on a particular group it just stays on the current group listing page. From the sites I have seen it should take me into that forum and display all the specific posts for that group. I have made sure that each of the groups have content but I cannot seem to successfully link there.

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I’m new to Buddy Press and trying to experiment with a personal site using WordPress 3.5.1

http://thebrotherhoodguild.com

On Chrome Version 26.0.1410.64 m the Register page will not load (Link). Instead, it keeps going back to the root directory. However, on Firefox 18.0.2 it does load. Not sure why this would happen. I am using the latest version of my theme, DynamiX, which is supposedly BBPress Friendly.

I do have a few plugins installed but I have tried deactivating them and still get this issue.

Hi everyone, I searched to see if anyone else had this problem and didn’t find anything that matched exactly, so if the topic DOES exist and I missed it, I do apologize.

I have a site where I installed bbpress back in August of last year. Everything was working fine but the company was not utilizing the forums so they basically sat there un-noticed/unused.

The company has now decided that they are going make a push to their employees to start using them. When I went to look at them today, I noticed that while all of the forums are still there, the topics are gone. At first, when I went into the Admin Dashboard, under the forums, there were counts listed under the “Topics” column but when I went to topics, nothing was there.

I then went and reset the permalinks and still nothing. Ran the forum cleanup tool and then when I went back, the “Topics” column under forums shows all zeros.

There was not a ton of content there and I can re-enter it all, but the concern I have is that of where did they go? I know the client will be asking this and then the obvious follow-up of “will this happen again?”

Any help anyone can give me would be great. Naturally, I would prefer to recover the info if at all possible.

Running the latest version of bbpress (2.3.1).

Thanks,

-marc

Hello and thank you for the first time that you are helping me and for your Antwort.Ich want to install bbPress 1.2, because I want to test it as a stand-alone forum software. I have problems with the bbPress WordPress plugin and so I wanted to try the forum installation.

[Jared Atchison]

What plugins do you have installed?

A good test to run is to temporarily activate TwentyTwelve (theme) and see if that fixes the issue. Doing this will at least let you know if the problem lies within your theme or not.

[Maya0003]

I am very new to bbpress and am working on editing a new to me website. When I updated to the latest version of BBpress the link to add topics(forums) on the left menu area on the dashboard dissapeared…I checked support forums and “saved” the permalinks and deactivated and reactivated BBpress, but still no luck. Any suggestions? Please keep the explanation simple. I am running a customized genesis site.

I’m using the latest WP and bbPress 2.3.1.

bbPress seems like it will work for our veterinary organization’s site. The only thing missing is the ability to add a group of users to a forum… We’re using s2Member. For most forums, we have them restricted based on s2Member level and this is working fine. But for a couple of forums, we need to restrict them based on a smaller group of members, not an entire s2Member level.

For example, we have a Board of Directors s2Member level, and a bbPress forum for this. But in the forum, we only want to include a subset of the BOD members, not *all* of them.

Is there a way to add individual users to a forum, or to create a group that’s not all-inclusive of an entire role?

Hello

I’m trying to modify the latest topics widget with CSS. I want to show the widget like the IMAGE 1, but with my poor knowledge of CSS i can obtain only the IMAGE 2.

I’m using the following:

float: left;
height: 30px;
width: 30px;
}

What can I add to show my widget similar to IMAGE 1? Only the image and text, not the comments and likes icon.

Thanks
