I’m having the same error message (Are you sure you wanted to do that?) as @premitheme is having on a local/MAMP server.

Finally, I’m not alone 🙂

Update: Tried “DesktopServer.app” which is based on XAMPP, it worked!! On “Bitnami MAMP Stack”, it DOESN’T work (the same as MAMP). I’m going to try XAMPP itself and even will setup Apache/PHP/MySQL manually on my Mac and see this makes any difference.

Hope that bbp developers can help us, with all the appreciation. Why I can use 2.2.4 on MAMP while I CAN’T use 2.3. I’m using the latest MAMP version BTW.

Okay, all my posts and replies disappeared from the site. Fortunately, I had backup of my entire blog and forum, so I had there bbpress version 2.1.2

I uninstalled the latest version deleted all files, then uploaded 2.1.2. version via FTP. Then I need to click one last save in bbpress settings and everything is online again…

Testing environment is a wise idea. Always new it, but didn’t want to do. Now I learned 😉

Soooo glad my forum is back up. I will think about the rest tomorrow. Phewwww!

Thank you guys!

Seemingly trivial and minor of a change, yet actually a huge change with no notice.

The bbPress body class has changed from bbPress to bbpress (losing the capital P). Depending on how much you’ve customized bbPress or if you’ve created a bbPress theme integrated right into a WordPress theme, all customizations will be broken.

This also breaks backwards-compatibility except for doubling up and references both .bbPress and .bbpress which will have to be done in my case.

Luckily, I discovered this issue in my testing environment. As you’ll find from the many topics that will be piling up over broken customization confusion over the next several days, others won’t be so lucky to catch the issue without learning the hard way.

Thanks, Bryan

Thanks so much! Seems to have updated without a hitch (well, see below). Tested the forum search right away and it appears to be working fine, although I’m still aching for those search results to be presented as excerpts.

I did also find that I had to resave permalinks in order to see posts again, or else I would end up with a “topic not found”. That gave me quite the scare!

We’ll be checking out those improvements to code posting now.

I have a problem! Tested the latest official 2.3 version (and rc1) and cannot post topics or replies and always get “ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that?”. Creating forums is OK.

This happened on a fresh localhost installation (MAMP) of WP 3.5.1 and bbp 2.3 using TwentyTwelve theme without any other plugins or themes installed. Attached a screenshot …

The search function is great BTW, well done! Just hope to find a fix for the mentioned problem as it makes 2.3 useless.

wow John this works like a charm, thank you mate. Now it prints out the ip as I wantend, but I fronted a new problem, I cant execute shortcode’s outside the post of the reply where I tested and it works. In the contenct of the post it works, but otside not (under avatar) 🙁 Any suggestions ?

thank you in advance!

[WayneM1]

I’m running the latest version of everything…

bbpress 2.2.4
BuddyPress 1.7
WordPress 3.5.1.

[lasticko]

I went to #freenode’s IRC channel for #wordpress and I tried to find help there.

They directed me to :
https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/

But on Step 6 where it says to copy everything in wp-content > plugins > bbpress > bbp-themes > bbp-twentyten into your child theme folder I’m stuck.

There is no wp-content\plugins\bbpress\bbp-themes directory in the latest bbpress.
Outdated instructions… 🙁

I wish someone would step in and clear things up.

This page seems a little more udpated with the correct file structure. I guess I’m going to delve into this a bit more:

Ok, we figured it out. The problem comes from the french version of bbPress. The latest version is over a year old and it’s based on an older version of bbPress, so it doesn’t show replies…

This puts us in a bit of a bind, but at least now we know what the problem is.

Btw clickmac, I noticed I couldn’t see the replies in the link you posted for your site, just a bunch of empty space. I had the same thing happen when I tested bbPress on a clean install of WordPress. My collegue had me try it with IE and there they were. So with Firefox you don’t see anything. For more info :

moebis – just took a look at this, I may have a more recent version than you use in your fix above.

Here is how to play with my hack in the latest trunk:

EDIT: /bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/group.php

Delete lines 609-614 and add “?>” back to line 609.

The code I have at these lines is this:

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘form’, ‘topic’ ); ?>

<?php else : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘feedback’, ‘no-topics’ ); ?>

Probably not what I want to comment out. What I did find though is this (lines 567-581):

// Suppress subforums for now
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_forum_subforum_count’, ‘__return_false’ );

// Set up forum data
bbpress()->current_forum_id = $forum->ID;
bbp_set_query_name( ‘bbp_single_forum’ ); ?>

<?php

// Remove the subforum suppression filter
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_forum_subforum_count', '__return_false' );

I highlighted a few things:
1) Topics are only being displayed from group subforum 2 (believe you mentioned this above). This should be easy enough to fix
2) I thought I was posting in the Group Forum when I used the default form below, but clearly (as per highlight 3) this is now set to group subforum 2
3) Default Create New Topic is set to Group Subforum 2. I assume this was the “last retrieved forum” and is probably easy enough to fix. In my case, I’ll probably be changing my group forums to a category anyway, so I don’t actually want people starting new topics from this page.

Throwing a post on here to get notified as replies, as this is exactly what I am trying to achieve.

This bit looks promising: “Good News All!!! Ok…. I have sub forums working in buddypress with a small hack to group.php (in latest trunk of bbpress 2.3)”

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)

[jessievegan]

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

[Spudnic]

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)

[Spudnic]

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:
