I just noticed something that annoys me. I was logged in with a test account (non-admin, just forum participant) and the last screen that I had open when I logged out, was another participant’s profile page. Instead of the expected ‘you are not allowed’ page, I could still see the profile page and when I clicked on the ‘replies created’ link, I could also still see this user’s posts, all of which are posted in private fora! When I click on a subject from that archive page, I do get a 404, but I could read all this user’s posts from his profile.

A bit worried I checked if Google can also find these profile pages and indeed…

Is this due to a setting that I missed or could we get something like private users such as we have private fora?

WP 3.5.1 BBpress 2.2.4 monas.nl (check user roy3)

Ok, so we need to wait for answer?
and the test link links to a different page…

Hi everyone. I’m trying to solve this again after 4 months 🙂 I have installed the bbpress forum and I really want it to work. I have tested it on my site and it seems great, but when I use it with my sites theme it fails.

It wont show any users or admin the topics made in a forum. From the counter it says there are posts, but when you enter there is nothing. Just a text saying “Oh bother! No topics were found here!”

You can see for youself at this address http://www.truckstop24.no/truckerforum/

 

Thanks for reading! 🙂

OK very new at bbPress, coming from Buddypress Group forums.
After migrating to bbPress (performing an import) my main Forums page now looks like this:

http://mymobilefest.com/forums/

Is there a way to display the latest say 20 threads from all Grouped forums in the Forums page?

Thanks

Im kind of confused at how the HTMl tags work with bbpress.

For admin users all the tags work, but for other users a majority of the tags dont work, specifically the underline tag. ive also noticed that for the ol and ul there is no style, IE: dots or numbers.

• test
• test
• test

It seems to work fine on this forum.

Now everything works for me. The only thing I made, I tested some backup plugins for wordpress.

Hello guys,

I am using the latest version of WordPress and BBPress and this following shortcode is not working:

[bbp-forum-index]

Here is the page with the problem: http://doubtingdave.com/forums/

[Stephen Edgar]

Is this WordPress MultiSite setup or two separate WordPress installs for each of your domains?

Either way neither is a known issue and should work as you expect it would.

Try switching the problem site to the Twenty Theme and disable any other plugins to see if there is a conflict some, re-enable each plugin one by one and test your site again to see if you can find the conflicting plugin.

[Stephen Edgar]

This will be enabled by default in the upcoming bbPress 2.3

You can test out the extremely stable bbPress 2.3 RC1 via this download link to test yourself 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

We are working towards ‘hopefully’ having bbPress ‘responsive’ with version 2.4.

You can see the details and where we are at already with this here.

It would be great if you could help test and contribute some feedback regarding this 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

I have seen a couple of people mention this… That said most find that the problem is fixed with bbPress 2.3. Can you download bbPress 2.3 RC1 from here and test again, hopefully the issue is fixed for you.

I’ve restricted access to /wp-admin using .htaccess file within the /wp-admin directory.
I have a forum with BuddyPress + bbPress installed.
All forum users receive the default subscriber/participant roles upon registration.
Visitors not logged on are free to roam the forum (no posting though).

But logged-in users are asked for the username/password that is set for site admin (for /wp-admin, specifically) immediately after accessing a forum or a topic.

How can I stop WP asking regular forum users for username/password set for /wp-admin?

I can provide url to site, a test user credentials and the content of .htaccess file.
Thank you.
T.

You can use the bbp_get_user_profile_url filter. Something like:

 

add_filter( 'bbp_get_user_profile_url', 'my_custom_author_link' );
function my_custom_author_link( $user_id ){
    return get_author_link(false, $user_id);
}

(Not tested, but should help you get on track)

So, right now with my un-edited bbPress installation on the forum pages, the authors role is displayed as KeyMaster::1, and so on and so forth depending on the forum role of the author of the topic / reply. Is there a way to change what is displayed there? I would like it to display possibly my wordpress user roles rather than the forum roles, or maybe to display something else once I figure out how to modify the display.

Is this possible?

I don’t really want to edit core bbPress files so i thought i would try to make a plugin that would just change them.

Any and all replies are much appreciated. Thanks.

This is my site / theme and you can see what im referring to on this page:

http://oqueuefansitedev.co.nf/?topic=a-test-topic.

[clickmac]

this is the latest version of bbPress and has option for replies
check here:
http://www.trottyzone.com/forums/users/admin/

as you can see “replies created” option

Thanks, Daniel, sure you could do it with an own function instead.

I saw that there is already a ticket related to the title: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1764
Didn’t test the patch yet.

[SydneyDesigner]

I’m testing bbPress 2.3-rc1 with BuddyPress 1.7-rc1 on WP3.5.1 and may have encountered an issue with bbp_get_topic_id().

Can bbp_get_topic_id() be used to get the main topic id from a Buddypress group>forum>topic+replies page?
If yes, then how? (a quick code line example please)
If not then how else should this be done?

Thank you.

Hey everyone,
Having a really weird issue. Recently set up BB Press forums on my website. Downloaded a login widget from this website. And now, randomly, when I (or some other test users) log in, they get bounced back to the main page. Some people that has happened four or five times in a row, others, maybe once or twice. Other times, I’d go to the forum (while I’m not logged in) use the widget to log in, and still would kicked back out to the main page, and one or twice (randomly) when I’d go back to the forum, I’d be logged out.

Also, when I post a topic, or respond, i sometimes get kicked off to the root directory of the forum page, rather than remain in the topic. Help!!

[Fee]

I’ve the same problem. Solved it by replacing the_title() with bbp_forum_title() on my theme’s page template – but that’s not a real solution, because the problem is in all tested themes (bp-default, twentytwelve) and needs some conditions to use it only with bbpress forums.

[eddiemoto]

I’m sure I’m missing something very simple. When I go to mysite.com/forums I don’t get a list of the forums. It simply shows a “Continue Reading”. Odd. However, if go directly to the URL mysite.com/forums/forum/support, the forum seems to work great.

I’m using the woothemes canvas theme and thought it may be a compatability issue so I switched to the buddypress theme to test. It does the same thing.

Thanks in advance

[Stephen Edgar]

I am pretty sure this is fixed in bbPress 2.3 RC1

bbPress 2.3 – Release Candidate 1

Can you test your scenarion with 2.3 RC1 via the link above.

Hello,
My import from vanilla has been running for about 3 days (old forums with lots of posts) and I also imported users. Lots of stops and starts (SO GLAD it picks right back up). The one issue I can see as I peek at what has been loaded is that the users are not being assigned correctly to the posts. Since it has taken so long I have zero interest in trying to start the process over (it is currently 43k replies out of 150k in) so I am planning on attempting to remap them myself via mysql. I am very comfortable doing to sql using the vanilla db as an xref to the new users IDs (I do oracle development for my 9-5) but just wanted to see if there were any gotchas I should look into.
These will first be tested on copies of the tables of course or maybe even mapped through views to test but outside of the post_types of ‘topic’ and ‘reply’, is there anything else I’ll need to look at or think of?

Thanks & wish me luck!

[Stephen Edgar]

Try disabling all of your plugins (As in all of them not just the bbPress related ones)

Now go check your forum and make sure everything looks like it should.

Still have problems then it could be your theme, switch to Twenty Eleven or Twenty Twelve if you find its an issue with your theme contact the theme authors to see if they have any suggestions for using bbPress with their theme.

If it is still not working correctly re-install the bbPress plugin.

Once you are happy that the forum is working as it should now start enabling your plugins one by one and test bbPress activating each one until you find the offending plugin or plugins.

[Stephen Edgar]

What role does the user show as if you disable the ‘Members Plugin’?

To test this properly I would suggest disabling the members plugin and then create a new user and assign them the bbPress role ‘Moderator’ and then view their profile from another user context.
