I’m writing a theme function which automatically creates a discussion forum for a post on publish. I can create a forum and a topic, but linking the two has proven difficult. Here is what I have:
$forum_topic = array(
'post_title' => $post->post_title . ' - test. ',
'post_content' => $post->post_title . ' test',
'post_name' => $post->post_title . 'test',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_parent' => $created_forum_id,
'post_type' => 'topic',
);
$posted_topic_id = wp_insert_post($forum_topic);
Then, making it sticky, this is what I’ve attempted:
`update_post_meta( $created_forum_id, ‘_bbp_sticky_topics’, array($posted_topic_id) );`
Both the forum and topic are created, but the parent and sticky are not assigned. How can I do this?
Hi folks,
Ultimate Tinymce developer here.
I was just made aware of this issue by one of your faithful followers, who pointed me over here to this thread.
He had some code he was using which allowed Ultimate Tinymce to work with the new WP and new BBPress. Here is the code:
function jwl_bbpress_mceallow( $args = array() ) {
$args['teeny'] = false;
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'jwl_bbpress_mceallow' );
I have added the code to my plugin… which we are currently testing… and will be available in my next plugin release (version 3.9).
If I may be of any additional help, please don’t hesitate to contact me by using my form here:
Contact Me
Kind Regards!
Wordpress Version: Latest
bbPress version: Latest
Hello, I cannot post a topic in Japanese when I use a theme called ExtraNews I purchased. With the theme whenever I type a word and hit space key to convert the word into Japanese, the page automatically starts re-loading itself. It doesn’t happen with TwentyEleven theme. Could you tell me how to fix this issue?

Thank you.
Thanks to everyone for reporting this compatibility issue between s2Member and bbPress v2.2+.
I’m Jason Caldwell, a developer over here at s2Member.com.
The latest release of s2Member includes a fix for this compatibility issue.
(s2Member/s2Member Pro) Compatiblity.
Updated to support Dynamic Roles introduced in bbPress® v2.2. Discussed in this thread. Also see changelog: http://www.s2member.com/changelog/#s2-changes-v121201
Please let us know through the forums at s2Member.com if you have any further trouble. Thanks again!
Just as a thought in that it wouldn’t hurt to try is to compare some of the latest and previous versions of bbPress to isolate if it is an IIS issue or a bbPress issue for certain.
The latest /trunk (overnight changes are always expected):
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk
Also try 2.0, 2.1 or any build really via https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags
(Each page has a ‘.zip’ link to download the particular build)
Hello! I have a rather simple change to make but I’m finding myself stuck. I need to add some text above the list of forums on the main forum page – just some basic intro text. I don’t think I can do this within the WP Editor but I can’t seem to identify which file I need to edit; can someone point me in the right direction?
Here is the forum:
http://www.bluecanaryworks.com/test/natalie/forums/
The text will go above the Forums table.
Thanks in advance! 🙂

That is the specific functionality I want for my forum, but can’t seem to find something that can do just that in the default theme or widgets.
Specifically, I want to show a list of most recently replied to topics and have the link to the latest topic (such as the timestamp links to on the main /forums/ page here).
I now have a problem where a new topic is not showing in the Forum page. I am using the latest version of WordPress and bbPress. My site is http://mycarquest.com
The Forum page is here and there is a new topic that I created that is not listed: http://mycarquest.com/forums/forum/general
Is anyone else having this problem?
I tried removing the screen options for participants using Adminimize. While it removed the screen options menu, I can’t still remove the Topic attributes feature from participants. Here’s a screenshot I took with a test account (website is in spanish):

Using the default bbPress settings I just threw up a IIS install of WP 3.5 and bbPress 2.2.3
http://localhost:81/forums/
http://localhost:81/forums/forum/test-forum/
http://localhost:81/forums/topic/test-topic/
For the test topic I added a reply and clicked submit and the resulting URL is correct
http://localhost:81/forums/topic/test-topic/#post-7
Thanks for your reply Stephen. The site is live on Windows Server 2008 with IIS 7.5
All other links seem to work, it is just when people reply to topics that it jumps around…
After resetting permalinks on my dev environment and setting the slugs to the WordPress defaults these are the URLS.
Navigating to a topic from the list of recent topics:
http://localhost/sitename/forums/topic/test-topic/
Navigating to a forum from the list of forums:
http://localhost/sitename/forums/forum/forum-name/
Navigating to a topic after clicking on a forum from above:
http://localhost/sitename/forums/topic/test-topic/ (this is consistent with the first link which is good).
Posting a reply from inside test-topic
http://localhost/sitename/forums/forum/forum-name/#post-158293
Posting a reply from http://localhost/sitename/forums/topic/test-topic/#post-158277:
http://localhost/sitename/sitename/forums/topic/test-topic/#post-158294
Note that it doubled the sitename ^ but this doesn’t seem to affect it and lands back at the topic which is what I want.
Your topic replies URL should be displaying in the format:
http://localhost/sitename/forum/topic/butterflies/#post-158277
When I set my bbPress settings to the same settings you use above these are the URL’s:
Forums base: forum (Note: Default bbPress setting is ‘forums’)
Topics base: topics (Note: Default bbPress setting ‘topics’)
Forum Prefix ticked (Note: Default bbPress setting ‘ticked/checked’)
Forum slug: forums (Note: Default bbPress setting is ‘forum’)
Topic slug: topic (Note: Default bbPress setting ‘topic’)
http://localhost/sitename/forum/forums/butterflies/
http://localhost/sitename/forum/topic/test-topic/
http://localhost/sitename/forum/topic/butterflies/#post-158277
I would try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.
If you have no luck I would read up on the LAMP/MAMP (Linux/Mac, Apache, MySQL, PHP) package you are using on what settings are needed for mod_rewrite to work on your local machine.
There are also a few (and a few broken links here) installing WordPress Locally

Hi I am having an issue with my forum URL rewrite rules/slugs/permalinks.
At the moment I am testing this in my dev environment.
I have a page that is called FORUM and contains my recent topic and forum shortcodes. This page is located at localhost/sitename/forum
My slug settings are:
Archive Slugs
Forums base: forum
Topics base: topics
Single Slugs
Forum Prefix ticked
Forum slug: forums
Topic slug: topic
Topic tag slug: topic-tag
Reply slug: reply
User slug: user
Topic view slug: view
When I navigate to a forum the URL looks like this:
http://localhost/sitename/forum/forums/butterflies/
When I navigate to a topic inside that forum, the URL looks like this:
http://localhost/sitename/forum/topic/test-topic/
When I reply to a topic, the URL rewrites to this:
http://localhost/sitename/forum/forums/butterflies/#post-158277
So obviously this is an incorrect URL and just takes me back to the forum home page with the list of recent topics.
How can I make the URL format be consistent? Something like:
http://localhost/sitename/forum/forum-name/test-topic/#post-158277
Thanks
I downloaded the latest version of bbPress and the latest version of wordpress, did a local install probably only 5 days ago at max and then re created it using the functions from my teamoverpowered.com site.
Firstly, I am currently looking for feedback on the vBulletin importer and there have been reports that users do not get imported correctly, did your users get imported correctly?
eg. Migrating vBulletin 4.0.4 to bbPress 2.2.3 and bug tracking ticket #1991.
What version of vBulletin and bbPress are you using?
I personally don’t have access to vBulletin so I haven’t been able to test much of anything relating to vBulletin basically so helping out with your .htaccess would also be a bit of hit and miss.
Stack Exchange has some great examples of rewrites
This is one of my favourites even though it is not specific to any of your needs here it is a good example of mod_rewrite regex rules.
A couple of other resources to help along the way:
Have you tried going to Settings > Permalinks and re-saving your permalinks, this worked for me when I local test stopped displaying the forum pages.
I have no idea – it seems that this is a tinyMCE plugin?
I haven’t played with 3rd party tinyMCE plugins yet – but if you tell me how to install it, then I wouldn’t mind testing it for you.
Bottomline is that you’ll have to look for the “keyword” to get the button to become visible (in this case “preview” according to this link). Add that keyword to the “array_push” list.
One plugin I use (WP Smileys) requires that I make a few minor modifications;
In functions.php (in the code above, just below “add_filter(‘mce_buttons_2’, ‘add_tinymce_buttons_2’);”), I had to add:
// Restore the smileys plugin
add_filter(“mce_external_plugins”, “s4w_tinymce_addplugin”);
add_filter(‘mce_buttons’, ‘s4w_tinymce_registerbutton’);
I recently installed bbpress on my blog but needed the existing Mingle forum live so that I could transfer some of the posts to the new install of bbpress so i set it up as test.
After transferring most of the posts I needed, I wanted to use the existing forum page as the new forum homepage so I inserted /forum/ as my main prefix for the url.
Now I can’t get the homepage but I can view the topic pages. When I enter /forum on my site, it just shows a blank page or redirects to the main site page.
My site is http://tenerifefroum.org.es and the forum should be with a /forum after the url.
Here is one of the topic pages:
http://tenerifeforum.org.es/forum/board/reviews/
If anyone can help on how I can get the forum to work, I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks
There were a few people who were reporting 404 errors for some logged in users, myself included, in the announcement thread here http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-2-3-released/
Instead of clogging up that thread with that problem, I’m starting a new one. To summarize, admins can access the forums, but some logged in users cannot. On my site I’ve been getting reports daily that some members cannot access the forums. I have two testing account on my site, one can access and another, newly created cannot. It receives the 404 error.
Logged out users can load all the forums with no problem, as can admins. Resetting permalinks doesn’t fix it, and neither does re-installing the plugin. I even went so far as to delete all the _bbp_ options from the wp-options table of the database and that didn’t help either.
I also downgraded to 2.2.2 and that didn’t fix it, so I don’t think the issue is with the latest version, but something else that may have introduced with the new user roles (which I think came in with 2.2), but I only recently started having the issue with version 2.2.3.
One user has rebuilt his database and beat the problem, this may work for some, but I’m not in a position to do that since I’m running mine on multisite and my database is over 2gb with thousands of tables. For me to do that for this when everything else is working fine is a major job.
Any one having this issue should post in this thread and hopefully we can find the problem and solution. As it stands right now for me, about a third of my users are getting the error.
I can report that I’m experiencing the same issue that TranThe is experiencing. Many users, once they get logged in are getting 404 errors.
I can’t seem to figure it out. It does not seem to be entirely user role related and doesn’t seem to effect all the users, but I have a number of users and a testing account that get a 404 error.
I see TranThe’s fix above, but that seems pretty drastic, I’m not in a position to re-install WordPress and rebuild the database yet because of this. I’m running BBpress on the mainsite of a multisite install that hosts nearly 100 websites. His fix is great for a single site, but for me that’s a major operation, my database is huge.
I am running the latest WordPress and bbPress. Few days back everything was ok. But somehow I am noticing that when making new replies, it’s not showing up in frontend single topic display. It’s showing up after few hours I guess. But it’s normally showing in admin area. There is no caching plugin installed.
Some weird behaviour:
1. The reply count is showing on topic list page. But not showing on single topic.
2. Showing on widget, but their order is not right.
Not sure whats coming wrong.
I am currently looking for feedback on the vBulletin importer and this issue has been raised previously in our bug tracking #1991.
At the moment I am working on updating all the forum importers for the next major release of bbPress and waiting and seeking feedback from more users as this still appears broken for some and not others but as I don’t have access to vBulletin myself I cannot test this directly myself, let alone the different versions etc
I would be more than happy to take a look at this for you and make any fixes as needed.
Drop me an email to stephen@netweb.com.au and we can discuss it further.
I would like to add that it the Ultimate TinyMCE editor works well with wordpress posts…It just doesn’t work with bbpress anymore (after last update).
