After a week of testing I finally found the problem. I notice that when I change the user role to Editor and Administrator the editor works perfectly on both the backend and frontend.

I will see if if we can reproduce this though now I am confused as to now you are inferring that all of this is based upon you using Ultimate TinyMCE.

So i installed the User Role Editor plugin and checked the Unfiltered HTML setting and not everything works fine except for the fact that a message shows up for all users:

“Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content.” – how can i get rid of it?

You enabled that setting, disable that setting and the message goes away!

As to what HTML tags you allow that is up to you and none that you list above should be of a security concern.

BTW…is this the best way to do it? I’m thinking it would be better to modify the way WP filters HTML instead of disabling filtering completely.

What do you say?

I am not seeing that on any of my test sites… 2.2.4 and 2.3

Can you try using Twenty Eleven or Twenty Twelve theme rather than a custom theme and of course with all other plugins disabled and let me know.

Hi guys,
I have a forums site though WordPress and bbPress and would like to know if the feature stated below is possible or hopefully created.
Hopefully it’s possible for there an alerts button in the menu bar that shows them recent replies to subscribed topics on a page.
What I need is for every time someone has replied to a topic they are subscribed to, in the menu bar the alerts link will have an icon with how many alerts (unread) eg (2) in an icon. This would require the alerts page too.

I saw this on forums powered by another forum software. (PAID)

I use the latest bbPress and WordPress.

Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
ayden1232

I just tested this and cannot reproduce it using the latest bbPress beta.

Can you try the with the latest beta and if it is still an issue open a ticket on trac.

bbPress 2.3 Beta 2

[Dan]

I’m using the Simple:Press to bbPress importer that comes with the latest version of bbPress. I am currently running the most recent version of WordPress and have Simple:Press 5.1.4.

The topic/replies imported perfectly, with exception to one bit. The forum thinks all the posts it imported were created by user 1, the main site Admin.

I have run “Recount topics for each user” and “Recount replies for each user” but they didn’t appear to fix it (and I’m guessing they aren’t meant for this purpose, based on their labeling)

I was wondering if anyone else was having similar issues.

After a few failed attempts, I was able to successfully do the conversion from bbpress 1.02 standalone version to the latest plugin version (2.2.4). Doing this requires a few steps and I might do a blog post about this later but for now:

1. You need to update the standalone version to 1.2. I tried importing without doing this and some data, like parent forums didn’t get converted so I ended up with a bunch of forums with no parent (and if you have a big forum, you don’t want that).

To update you need to download version 1.2 from https://bbpress.org/download/legacy/ and then download the backpress and pomo files that you see below version 1.2. You then need to create a folder called “backpress” in the “bb-includes” folder and dump in all files that come in the backpress-1.2-bbpress includes folder.

So you’ll have: bbpress>bb-includes>backpress>class.bp-log.php and so on…

Then download the pomo files and create a folder called “pomo” inside the “backpress” folder. Dump in the files you downloaded in there.

So you’ll have: bbpress>bb-includes>backpress>pomo>entry.php and so on…

Now you can update your standalone version to 1.2 as you did in the past. Be careful not to delete your bb-config.php and your old templates (if you had custom templates). Make sure you log in to your admin panel so the database gets updated.

2. Now you are ready to import using the import tool in wordpress. Download and install latest bbpress plugin version, then go to Tools>Forums>Import Forums and follow the instructions to import all your information (don’t forget to put “bb_” as your table prefix).

Hope this helps

I am quite sure all of this hase been fixed in the upcoming bbPress 2.3

You can download the beta from here and test it to make sure 🙂

bbPress 2.3 Beta 2

[Erlend]

I’ve encountered this on both Windows 8 with Chrome and Ubuntu 12.10 with Firefox (screenshots). I can’t test on Safari. Also your first test post does not contain a bunch of text, the second one does. Test it with the first one.

[Erlend]

Running it through some tests now. I had this problem in v1 as well, with longer posts displaying weird:

This is on a vanilla site without any other plugins than bbPress. And at first I thought this was only with images, but it appears this happens to all long posts.

[Stephen Edgar]

Its a bit hard to see what changes you made… If you think others would benefit from this create a ticket in trac and add your code as a patch https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

I’ve updated the first post…

[Darren1981]

Can you link us to your site ? Im not sure i understand what exactly you have done.

[djes]

I’ve slightly modified the bbpress/includes/common/widgets.php file to have an option to show latest posts, not only replies. Curiously, it was half implemented, but not ‘usable’. I don’t know if it has already been done elsewhere as it’s my first post here… Here’s the file, as I can’t post code on the forum %( : http://pastebin.com/PYkmNqQC

Hey all..

Rather new to BBpress.. Now what i want to do seems so easy with other forum software so i don’t see why i am struggling to get my head around this.. Anyways what i want to do is this:

– mysite.com <– Showing a few "Latest news" posts and other custom stuff including "Recent Forum Topics" etc etc
– mysite.com/forums/ <– Custom Forum Page, basically i want to display several forums under a few different "Forum Categories" like using a header image / background for each different category

I would also like to use forum icons.. (not really worried about "Topic Icons") I basically want a layout that looks like the following:

=================================
Category Title #1
=================================
[Forum Icon] | [Forum Name] | [Number of Forum Topics] | [Number of Forum Views]
[Forum Icon] | [Forum Name] | [Number of Forum Topics] | [Number of Forum Views]
[Forum Icon] | [Forum Name] | [Number of Forum Topics] | [Number of Forum Views]
=================================
Category Title #2
=================================
[Forum Icon] | [Forum Name] | [Number of Forum Topics] | [Number of Forum Views]
[Forum Icon] | [Forum Name] | [Number of Forum Topics] | [Number of Forum Views]
[Forum Icon] | [Forum Name] | [Number of Forum Topics] | [Number of Forum Views]
=================================
Category Title #3
=================================
[Forum Icon] | [Forum Name] | [Number of Forum Topics] | [Number of Forum Views]
[Forum Icon] | [Forum Name] | [Number of Forum Topics] | [Number of Forum Views]
[Forum Icon] | [Forum Name] | [Number of Forum Topics] | [Number of Forum Views]

Sorry for the lack of detail lol.. Anyways… What is the best way to create a custom forum page like displayed above ?? What template should i edit as the main /forums/ Template ??

Really do appreciate any assistance on this one.. I am even willing to release a complete WP with full BBpress support if anyone can help me get this configured as i need / as stated above.. If any exp BBpress coders can assist me with this when i launch my project i am more than happy to give your service a plug / backlink from my website.

I am trying to launch my project in about 2 weeks.. Now as i am losing a lot of time with this i am opening to hiring someone to assist me if no one is kind enough to help me out for free.

Regards, Darren

Can you create a ticket in trac please: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
(Use the same bbpress.org user/pass to log in)

It will be much easier for us to track this there rather than here.

Also include as much information (Your URL structure for your site etc.) as you can and steps to reproduce the problem so we can setup the same to test it.

[Darren1981]

Hey all,

As the title suggests… Would it be safe to begin working on my localhost using BBpress 2.3 Beta 2 and then update to 2.3 Final once it becomes available ? I really have no reason for this but am aware 2.3 brings a lot of new changes and i really don’t want to start digging into templates for the current latest stable version only to update to the new version and have to edit a bunch of templates again..

I am looking at getting my project live within 2 weeks give or take a few days.. will 2.3 Final / non Beta be out by then ?

Any advice on this matter is greatly appreciated.

Regards, Darren

[Yakir Gottesman]

The latest in both.

This is fixed in the upcoming bbPress 2.3, you can download and test it from here

bbPress 2.3 Beta 2

Hi,
I’m having problems getting my forum members to see my forum and the latest posts. I had set the forum to private, but that turned out to force members to log in to see the forum (most of my members don’t have one).

So I set the forum to public. The forum is now visible when I’m not logged in. But now I discovered NEW posts won’t show up unless I’m logged in! The same happened to a forum member who does have a WP login.

The posts in question are set to public. The site can be found at here.

Please, I’m looking for any solution that’s not time consuming (I’ve spent too much time trying to get this forum to work already) and I know next to nothing about code, so that wouldn’t be a viable option for me. I hope someone can come up with a solution that finally gets this forum going.

Thank you.

I just set up a test site with WP 3.5.1, then added bbPress 2.2.4 and then added BuddyPress 1.6.4. I’m using site wide forums.

Plugins:
Alismet (not activated)
bbPress
BuddyPress
Custom CSS Manager
Hello Dolly (not activared)
PlugNedit (not activated)

Since this is new I don’t mind removing plugins (including bbPress and BuddyPress) and resinstalling. I don’t care about Custom CSS Manager, so it can go if needed.

I did notice that the directories “forums”, “forums/forum” and “forums/topic” were not created.

Could it have been the order in which I installed bbPress and BuddyPress?

Mormally I’d start from scratch, but after spending the last two weeks upgrading forums, etc software on multiple sites and then doing a server upgrade in order to run WP I’m a bit tired of looking at my computer 🙂

Thanks in advance!

hi, i really need help. i am very new to wordpress and bbpress. i installed wordpress today and installed bbpress.

i did downloaded your theme and placed it in wp-content/themes/my-theme

in wordpress -> Appearance -> Themes. it says

“Broken Themes

The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
Name Description
my-theme Stylesheet is missing.”

my test site is http://therightclique.sg/jeepforum/forums/
can anyone guild me to create a proper working forum?

[Lynq]

@golfer300 You will need to put the contents of the zip file inside your theme folder, once you have done this you should see a bbpress-functions.php inside your main theme directory. For this theme to fully work you will need to have the wordpress classes attached to the body tag.

@akgt I haven’t tested it using buddyPress, let me know if you use it.
