Update to the latest bbPress 2.2.3 and repeat step 7 in the guide at BuddyPress you linked to above.

Hi John,

in my situation is the correct version not the problem.
The original forum is on version 1.1 since months. And updated to 1.2 yesterday.
It’s an old forum (since 2002) – migrated to bbPress 0.9 and then 1.0 -> 1.1.
Since May 2011 the forum was deactivated – after some problems with an user. 🙁

Hmmm… I think the problem may lie in the fact that the forum has a lot of anonymous posters. In 0.9 there was an plugin for anonymous posters with meta data. But in version >0.9 these posts were all anonoymous posts without an user.

I’ll test the convertion on a blank installation of WordPress 3.5 today (without any other plugins). And the i’ll report again.

By the way. JJJ – carry on with your great work on bbPress. 🙂

Hello,

I am using skematiktheme.com wordpress theme, which is also styled for buddypress. I also have the lastest version of buddypress, bbpress, and wordpress installed.

Not sure if I should be asking this in the buddypress forum or not, because most of the changes are related to bbpress forums which are integrated with buddypress.

I want to change the font size. In general I just need to change the font size for the text in the body of posts, but it would be good if I could bump everything up by 4px. How do I change that?

Can someone help me by explaining it in simple step-by-step language?

For example: go here, then type this code here, and then change this, etc….

Thanks,
Ben

Is there a way to do this so I have the basic rules when I originally installed the site? I’m using the latest versions of both WP and BP.

Hi,

I saw somwhere a topic about Forums, Topics and Replies somwhere in the forum and want to confirm that it exists even in just releases 2.2.3. In admin and on frontend bbpess post types labels don’t get translated (tested on 2 different sites, translated in 2 different tools, my language uses extended latin chars).

Another issue is with the User profile rules (permalinks, line 873 in bbpress.php). It’s possible to filter rewrite rules for user favorites and subscriptions but topics and replies (and it’s pagination) are hardcoded, even if there are functions available to use instead (and filter if needed)

[mamasaywhat]

Howdy,

I see there’s a gentleman below with this same issue:

When I use firefox, click on a username to view their profile – the topics created and replies don’t show up in the profile…just a blank page (though it does show an accurate count of posts and replies).

Any thoughts? Any ideas how to solve this? I can’t very well just tell people that this feature just plain won’t work on firefox….

Website is: http://testing.mamasaywhat.com
Example URL: http://testing.mamasaywhat.com/users/katedorsey/topics/

thanks much!

I need to prevent users from being able to see the forum unless they are logged in. The trick is, the login form needs to authenticate against an external database that is contained in one of our servers (not WP or BBPress).

I’m trying to figure out the smartest way to do this. I thought of just creating a regular PHP login, but I’m not sure exactly how to restrict the forum this way. Right now I have all of my forums set to “private” which pretty much does the restriction for you.

It’s a bit complicated but any suggestions would be awesome.

[dwbroad]

Number of topics listed for each forum on my /forums page is not matching the number of topics in the forum!

It’s a recently installation so I only have 3 topics. and it’s saying there are 2…

I’m using the latest versions of wordpress and bbpress

Thanks!

It might be worth your while to view our latest (updated) video guide for configuring BuddyPress & bbPress, as it goes into some of the differences and features that have arrived with 2.2.2 and BuddyPress 1.6.1

I upgraded bbpress to 2.2.2 on a client’s site and now when I click on the forum links it brings me to a 404 Not Found page. I can click on the latest topic link and the user link to the far right but the main forum link goes to 404.

I tried the switch the permalink, save, switch it back and save again trick but it did not fix the issue.

Any ideas on what may solve the issue would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I am in the process of installing the latest version of bbpress as a plugin to create a forum and would like to add a user register/signup box or link from every page. I’ve been searching but cannot find the answer. Can anyone help?

[nightshift58]

Hi guys,

In the latest version, v2.2.2, the core file to update/change is:

includes/common/functions.php

All that’s needed is to comment out (//) line 718.

Unfortunately, this function doesn’t have any actions or filters or I would have interceded that way.

Best,

Furthermore to my previous post, the link its trying to redirect to is incorrect.
After adding a reply, the browser redirects to Broken link. However it should redirect to . Where do you change the redirects after a reply has been added to a topic?

[mralexweber]

I’ve just done a bit of additional testing on my site (experiencing the same issue but only for one user AFAIK)

It seems the first post is not showing up in the HTML at all!

I don’t think it’s a theme issue since this is only happening for one user (again, AFAIK) and not all users.

Would really love some input from the bbP team on this one!

[LewisSellers]

Hi There,

We’re working on a clients website at the moment. Their forum is currently running on BB Press and has nearly 86,000 users on, 4500 topics, 25,000 posts and is relatively active. A large number of the users are likely to be spam, but it is a fairly active forum with about 60ish users using it each day.

We want to update the forum to the latest version so that we can make use of all the newer social media implementations, security fixes and also the spam plugins to help reduce a lot of the manual work going on.

Is there anyone on here who can handle the whole upgrade process, or is there a conversion kit to get it from 1.0.2 up to the latest version? I assume going from this version all the way to 2.2 is likely to be a fairly big task, so any help here would be fantastic.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,
Lewis

Is there any method to display bbpress forum as the home page?, All I want is to display bbpress forum on the top of my home page and latest blogs at the bottom of my home page.

Hi Sydney,

I’ve beendoing extensive testing this week to prepare anupdate to the video, and find I get similar results regarding group forums. I will be releasing my results and suggestions in a new video here ASAP.

 

In the meantime, I suggest you consider leaving legacy group forums “as is” for now.

[Just a guy]

Hello. I’d like to allow anonymous posting, but disable it in specific forums. Here’s what I have so far:

function specific_anonymous_bbp() {
if (is_post('XXX')) {
return apply_filters( 'bbp_allow_anonymous', 0)
}
}
add_action( 'plugins_loaded' , 'specific_anonymous_bbp' );

I’ve tried about a thousand different combinations (the above being the latest) with no luck. I found the bbp_allow_anonymous hook looking through the core files, but I’m not sure how to disallow it for specific posts. I also tried making form-anonymous.php conditional based on post ID, which worked, but caused other issues. Any ideas?

[silvias]

Same problem here. I installed on a fresh WP install, no plug-ins for conflicts and no side Admin buttons. I do have the Settings, Tools but no Forums, Topics and Replies.I’ve uninstalled and re-installed but nada.

I set up a test WP on the same host (most likely a different shared server) and installed and everything works fine. Same WP instance, no additional plug-ins etc.

[Jared Atchison]

Yeah I’d reinstall the latest version. Something is definitely screwy.

[Olzen]

I have the same problem. Hidden and Private forums are not available for any users. (got 404) If I make them public(as a test) they are available.

This happen after update.

UPDATE: “Repair Forums” -> “Remap existing users to default forum roles” solved the problem.

[Stephen Edgar]

Haha… I started reading this and was about ready to hit ‘spam’… Oh wait… NOT SPAM 🙂

Thanks for this and it is a known issue https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1905

It also has a patch that needs testing if you would like to give it some testing 🙂

If you could add any feedback you have to the ticket above it would be greatly appreciated 🙂
