I’m wondering if there is a way to exclude one or more forums (and optionally, specific tags) from being included in the site-wide “latest posts” index.
What do you want to know?
There is no need to reverse engineer anything, just grab the latest copy of Example.php either from /bbpress/includes/admin/converters/ or the latest updated version I am working on here and start modifying the table mappings as per the docs in the codex.
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/ & https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/custom-import/
@noumaan I just tested this and everything works as expected with a WordPress user with the WP role ‘Subscriber’ and bbPress role ‘Keymaster’
These following are the only admin panels available/visible in the WP admin dashboard:
- Home – Right now in forums (stats)
- bbPress Forums, Topics and Replies panels
- Profile (Edit own profile)
- Tools -> Forums (Repair, Import & Reset bbPress tools)
- Settings -> Forums (Main bbPress settings)
I’m having a bit of an issue with bbPress and WPML. For some reason it loads every single wordpress post ever created under the actual forum.
See: http://www.touhou.si/forums/forum/testingissoawesome/
Has anyone seen anything like that before?
Hey Stephen,
I’ve been debugging this for a while and it appears that I don’t get the erro if I post as admi, I only get it if I’m posting as a participant.
Could you try posting an @mention as a regular participant in the forum and see if you get it?
No idea why that would affect things, but it does seem to.
Will keep testing various scenarios!
I saw some discusses about the usage of Latex in bbpress. I guess maybe the easiest way to enable Latex in bbpress is to use Mathjax.
Put the following script code into the block of the header.php in the theme. This will load the latest version of MathJax from the distributed server, and configure it to recognize mathematics in both TeX and MathML notation. For details, refer to http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/start.html#mathjax-cdn and http://www.ouruniv.com/topic.php?id=4
script
type=”text/javascript”
src=”http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML”>
script
The above script is not the exactly one. The shape bracket is omitted since the code won’t be displayed with it. You could copy the right one at http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/start.html#mathjax-cdn

I do not why the script above is not displayed.
I’d love to have Tapatalk support on bbpress. This is truly great news.
I’m having two issues:
1) When my users are logged in they they get the following message “We’re Sorry But That Page Could Not Be Found”
However when I’m logged in as admin (keymaster) I can see the entire forum & topics. This is also for those who are not logged in.
2) The other issue I am having is I did a fresh install of the latest version on bbPress, but now the option to create new Forums & Topics is gone from the admin side bar located in the admin side of the site. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling more than once.

wp version: 3.5
bbpress version: 2.2.3
Please help!
Dangit, should’ve subscribed. That’s great news, I’ll be checking it out.
I’ve made some good progress with TinyEditor. It’s indeed very fast and implementation has not been super complicated (so far).
But again; mobile browsers are not the greatest browsers.
Typing and submitting works fine on iOS. Formatting however is lost somehow.
Kindle (Android) still claims it can’t load wp-comments-post.php.
With both selecting text, and applying formatting is a disaster. Often the selection “hint” (Select, Select All, Copy, etc) overlaps the buttonbar of the editor.
Note: At this moment (to keep things easy) I’m only testing this in WordPress comments. Once that works OK I’m going to try to use it for bbPress posts.
I agree; this is more something bbPress inherited from WordPress I’m assuming, since WP brings us tinyMCE. The issues at hand appear common knowledge in the tinyMCE community – and it appears that most WYSIWYG editors have similar problems.
2 WYSIWYG editors stood out so far for me to consider doing some testings with:
– TinyEditor (super small and very responsive)
– Redactor (little bigger but much more functionality, yet still responsive
As for a bug/issue ticket; where do we do that? and wouldn’t this a bug/issue for WordPress?
I agree we need to look at this a bit more… I was using copy and paste with ‘Note’ on the iPad (3rd Gen) the other day to post here as noted above for Android ‘it will let me type, but nothing appears in the editor’ was the same behaviour I had with the iPad.
Can you create a ticket on trac so we can start to get some detailed device tests on how the editor is behaving for WordPress, bbPress and bbpress.org and go from there… It may be a core issue with WordPress that bbPress then inherits.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
Android devices appear to be very slow here as well, and selecting text is a challenge – I completely agree.
The MyTouch and the Kindle both report to be a regular Linux (Kindle) or Macintosh (I couldn’t believe it, and tested this numerous times in different ways) AppleWebKit browser – no notion of “mobile” or “Android”.
Also on the myTouch, when pressing a button on the menubar of tinyMCE behaves very odd.
These findings basically tell me that Fancy Editor is useless for mobile visitors (thanks for bringing it up!).
So either we have to revert back to “just text” for mobile users or find an alternative editor that actually does behave properly.
Well, Here’s a test from my nexus s. Seems to work, but it’s slow and there’s no proper text box, so I’m quickly writing outside my screen.
OK, I’ve been testing Android a little more intense than before; boy that’s a drama on it’s own.
So the first problem I noticed (T-Mobile/HTC myTouch 4G): Android does not like tinyMCE. It will let me type, but nothing appears in the editor, instead it ends up in the email input (not sure if this is a generic problem or maybe just my theme).
Adding elements through tinyMCE plugins works but the FancyBox appears to be not working all that well.
Submitting works – but of course none of the typed text in the message, only what I added through one of the tinyMCE plugins.
Next I tried a Amazon Kindle Fire HD (can’t really recommend this tablet – great hardware, crappy software). Things work better here, including entering text.
However … submitting the comment ends up in a “Webpage not available – The webpage at http:///wp-comments.php could not be loaded because: Unkown Error”.
Is this in anyway familiar with the situation you run into?
I tested it on bbpress.org right now (which btw is definitely not mobile-friendly overall).
Seems to work better than before now, maybe it’s got to do with the chopped down editor functionality. One big problem still is that you can’t easily highlight text for special formatting, since that’ll just zoom you out. Different interaction models like that just makes the wysiwyg tools rather redundant for mobile.
I haven’t had any problems on smartphones,… yet … iPhone/Android; they all work fine.
I’m sure there are other platforms (Windows,BlackBerry) but I do not know anyone who has either to test.
What problems do you run into?
I’d be very interested in your feedback on where it goes wrong/misbehaves (so I can adapt my website as well).
– Does tinyMCE misbehave?
– Or simply not work (lack of JavaScript)?
It might be difficult to determine if a visitor uses a phone or a regular computer, specially since the gap between the two is getting more narrow by the day.
Some examples are discussed here: Stackoverflow.
There is an example of browser sniffing (not my favorite) and some other techniques.
However … they all rely on JavaScript (which would be too late for doing something in PHP).
I did find some PHP code that could do the trick here: php-mobile-detect.
I have not tested it though.
If a cellphone is detected call (untested):
bbp_the_content( array( ‘context’ => ‘reply’, ‘tinymce’ => false ) );
Monica,
Sorry nothing new to report on a fix yet…
Btw, I’ve set this as private b/c I didn’t see a way to have people log in, so this would only be available to members. Don’t know if this is part of the issue.
With that above from your first post in mind, is it important your forums stay private or having them publicly accessible would not be an issue? If public is not a problem, try this:
If you leave the ‘category’ set as ‘private’ but change the two forums you have under this category from ‘private’ to ‘public’, I just tested this and it appears to be working.
(You can also change the parent category to public also and it won’t trigger the bug)
Back to the quote above you can use the `[bbp-login]` shortcode ona page or the login widget in your sidebar.

merci d’avance
Traduction s’il vous plait
Dear All,
as I read in documentation can only read topics and replies.
I have tested it in my forum and it works, but the Spectator cannot read Forum page. Is it normal?
The spectator can read and not http://mysite.com/forums/topic/topic-name/ http://mysite.com/forums/forum/forum-name/
In this way it’s impossible to be really a forum spectator. Is there a way to make him read also forum pages?
Thank you,
Andrea
Smileys & Open/Closed Topics are done, stickies we can’t do for now and that will have to wait.
Grab the latest again with https://gist.github.com/4534229/download
I’m still not sure why the extra blank post is turning up 🙁
Cool…. Everything should work…
With the two posts above of your errors.
Case 1. You used `wp_forum_` on that first revision when I used forum , threads, posts & user as the from_tablename’s, the error you posted was `’str1210409063589.wp_forum_user’` and that is correct as the importer was trying to find `wp_forum_user` which indeed does not exist.
Case 2. You used `wp_` on that second revision when I used forum_forums , forum_threads, forum_posts & users as the from_tablename’s, the error you posted was `’str1210409063589.wp_forums’` and that is not what I would expect to see here, it should be forum_forums.
Can you confirm by downloading the latest revision with this link and replacing Mingle.php with the version extracted from this zip file and use `wp_` as the table prefix.

Can you create a ticket for this over in trac for this please: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
(Adding some ‘numbers’ would also help eg #subscribers & #posts so we can test this ourselves.)
I am having a similar problem….
Using WP 3.5 BuddyPress 1.6.3 and bbPress 2.2.3
I have the “Yes. I want this group to have a forum.” CHECKED when creating the group
but I am NOT seeing the forum tab or the group shown in the forum
Any suggestions?
PS.. I followed the latest video tutorial on Labzip.com http://labzip.com/the-definitive-guide-to-buddypress-bbpress-configuration/
