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?
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,
Bob

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?
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!
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.
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?
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.
Yeah I’d reinstall the latest version. Something is definitely screwy.
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.
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 🙂
First let me say I am not an idiot (HA) but I cannot figure this out. I am wondering if there is a place on this site that explains how to setup the forums. Because right now I go in and create a new forum and this is the link I get:
http://test1.strosgirldesigns.com/forums/forum/flivin-2/ instead of just this: http://test1.strosgirldesigns.com/forums/
I am sure there are directions and I am just missing them which is quite possible after designing this site.
Thanks
@rbrightly As per this link, the latest version of the Pagelines Plugin is 2.0.2.
The last version is 2.0.2 , you should update it from my plugins section in the pagelines store inside the wordpress admin panel
If you do want to revert to a previous version you can find them here.
Hi,
I just want to note that since 2.0.3 release of bbPress (that’s when I actually started using the plugin) every time I update to the latest version I get the 500 server error, and the problem always gets resolved by rolling back to the the version that worked or when I overwrite the child theme I created with bbPress in the Theme folder with the latest theme in the bbPress update.
Is this a known issue or it is just only me? There anything I have to change in the child theme before updating to the latest bbPress?
Thanks,
I have a the latest wordpress installed and I am using a theme from themeforest called bounce.
BBPress 2.2 and Buddypress 1.6.1
The question I have is about user roles. I have a user that is set up as a keymaster for the site as well as the forum. When logged in the edit member shows up in the admin bar at the top while viewing a members profile page.
When I click on edit profile or edit avatar or edit capability I get a sorry page not found. If I change the users site role from keymaster to admin all the above links work. The permalinks are the same when I roll over the edit links so I am confused as to why they show a page not found. If its being redirected because of the user rolls thats fine I just need a way to change it so a keymaster can edit a user. I would like a moderator or keymaster to be able to block a user and edit them without having admin rights.
Hope you understand what I am trying to do. Im a pretty much new to all of this.
I tried the user role editor plugin but was unable to get it to work.
I have a another post with another issue concerning the users replies created pages I could use help on also.

I would be grateful for any help on either of these issues.
I have the same problem. Just upgraded to bbpress 2.2.2 with Pagelines 2.3.6, WP 3.4.2, and the bbpress for Pagelines plugin 1.0.6. Latest versions of everything, and all I get is a blank page: http://eversmartapp.com/forums/
bbpress worked fine before the upgrade to 2.2.2. Any thoughts on where to find help? I’d like to downgrade back to 2.1 in the meantime if possible! Thanks.
I managed to fix the issue with tags ‘br’ and ‘p’ by editing the wordpress file “kses.php” and adding ‘br’ and ‘p’ to globally supported tags.
There is still an issue with emoticons from tinymce not working… Any idea on how I can fix this one?
Once I enabled the TinyMCE visual editor, the text is stripped out of for standard users. Obviously, they are not available in the default editor either. However, what is the point of implementing the enhanced editor with all these fantastic buttons, if almost none of the html tags are enabled by default.
Also, even if I deleted the function for the editor, logged in as standard user and wrote “a”-enter-“b”-enter-“c”-enter”d”-enter-“e” – the result was “abcde”. This is just simply wrong…
ATM, the only way to sort it out is to give permission to all users to write unrestricted HTML. But apparently it is dangerous and someone could write a melicious javascript in the post.
And yeah, the smilies don’t work even for the admin…
Hi guys,
I upgraded to the latest version of bbPress and now I can’t seem to make Hidden or Private boards. When I make one and try to click on it, it cannot find the page (brings me to 404).
Could it be something wrong with my user roles?
Any help would be appreciated.
Hmm, if the tags are being stripped, there is a chance a plugin is doing that.
bbPress by default uses the WordPress wpautop on all content which automagically handles the paragraph tags. There isn’t anything in core that should strip tags unless those tags aren’t allowed in normal posts. What tags are being stripped? It sounds like even the base paragraph tags are being stripped, which shouldn’t be the case unless you ahve wpautop disabled via a plugin.
John James Jacoby-> Thank you so much for your piece of code! It’s so useful to have the the enhanced visual editor available in BBPress.
However, 2 issues appeared when I try to use the editor.
1. Smilies do not work
2. BBPress does not preserve and tags for normal users and therefore all the breaks are deleted and if the post is etited it just creates WALLOFTEXT…
Is there any way to fix these two issues?
I ran a test site and figured it out for you… or anyone who is having same issue.
It seems that the bbp-user-section class needs the attribute of “inline-block” in order to properly float to the right of the profile navigation. Also I had to force it to go 100% width (it picked up the 68% from somewhere else)
Use this CSS:
#bbpress-forums .bbp-user-section {
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
}
If you have a child them, just added it to functions.php .. if you don’t, use something like “One-click Child Theme” plug in to create a child theme and then create a functions.php file and put it in there. For those of us use not very child-theme savy, note that while the style.css in the child replaces the parent theme (hence the import rule), the function.php file in the child is run in addition to and before the parent’s function.
