Hi Gang,
well…. this one through me for a loop today as well, when moving our WooThemes Canvas for bbPress & BuddyPress site for a test drive on bbPress 2.2 ( http://labsecrets.com/demo/canvas-commerce )
The individual forums would work fine, but the main forum index was rendering what looked like a post excerpt, with everything jumbled into a single paragraph.
Solution was actually rather simple. If you are using a child-theme in Canvas (you ARE using a child-theme I hope?? ๐ย ) simply make a copy of the content-page.php file from parent, and put it into your child-theme folder.
Next, change the entry div as shown, to modify the current conditional check to ALSO see if you are on a bbPress page. Without this extra bit, it assumes that you want the page to show the_excerpt() on every page other than single.php …. not true. We want full content on bbPress pages as well ๐
<div class="entry">
<?php
/* If this is a bbPress page show full content not exerpt */
if ( ! is_singular() && (! is_bbPress()) ) {
the_excerpt();
} else {
the_content(__('Continue Reading →', 'woothemes') );
}
wp_link_pages( $page_link_args );
?>
</div><!-- /.entry -->
With this simple mod, all is well and now the native forums index works, and so does building a custom page with shortcode. Ta da!

@livninctry I see you are using some kind of custom registration form to register users on both sites, is this causing any roles or modifying user permissions?
For your ‘dev’ environment I would install WordPress and then bbPress and NOT installing the suffusion theme or the suffusion bbPress pack and see if everything works before adding anything else.
Kind of the same for your main site, disable ALL plugins except bbPress and check to make sure everything works, then try with the suffusion theme, check everything again, then the suffusion bbPress pack, check everything again, then each of your other plugins one by one checking everything each and everytime.
I also see that the Suffusion bbPress pack v1.01 has not been updated in a while “Last Updated: 2012-7-25” or has it been updated since reported problems 2 months ago https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-suffusion-bbpress-pack-compatibility-issues-with-latest-bbpress-212
As a follow up to my post above… I tried a completely fresh install of wordpress, switched to the suffusion theme, added bbpress and added the suffusion bbpress pack.
The admin has complete control. Added a forum and a topic to test settings.
Added new user with a role of contributor for the system and participant for forum role.
Logged into the website as the new user and noticed that the only action allowed would be to create a new post. Should this user not be allowed to post new topics?
I am completely at a loss as to what I am overlooking.

fresh install:

I have read through everything I can find about user roles and have the latest updates installed and am still having so many problems even after trying several different role plugins. The only way it seems I can let users post new topics is to give them moderator status…. I have tried adding user roles using members and URE and nothing changes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
bbPress is stripping all paragraph formatting when using the fancy editor.
I am working with the plugin TinyMCE Advanced, I need this setting checked for posts:
“Stop removing the and tags when savings and show them in the HTML editor.”
This works just fine for posts, but when it is checked it stops paragraph formatting in the forums. When it is not selected, the forum formatting works just fine.
I really want the fancy editor on my forum, but not being able to use paragraph formatting is a huge pain… Any suggestions as to why this is happening, or how I could go about fixing it?
Latest WP and bbPress.
Hmm, I haven’t tested this so I can’t say, but it definitely sounds like an issue. Maybe someone else can chime in and try to duplicate it.
This is probably happening because the default WordPress search isn’t looking at information bbPress stores when it makes things as private. WordPress just grabs results from all post types that are supported, makes sure they are published, and runs with it.
This doesn’t help your current situation, but I just wanted to say the search is something we are trying to address in 2.3.
Having bbPress search results come up in the regular WordPress search is weird, and leads to problem such as this, which is why bbPress topics/replies are not searchable by default. To skirt around this problem, we are likely going to make a bbPress specific search with its own search results page. This will give us more control over how the results are returned and make sure stuff that should be hidden doesn’t show up.
Can someone please help me out?
The quoting function leaves me out with a huge margin before the quote! I first noticed it today and I have no idea what caused it!
I added a fancy editor a couple days age pasting a code from topic.
I also messed around with plugins GD bbPress Tools and bbPress2 BBCode trying to find the best solution for quoting.
Somehow I have now a huge margin, I can’t edit it in css – don’t know what to do!
It looks like this http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/1030/quoteproblem.png

Please, I will appreciate any suggestions
Note–it is not just Ultimate that is broken–the kitchen sink buttons also no longer work.
In addition, text pasted in from Word now has all kinds of bizarre formatting preserved.
It makes the editor pretty useless. Is there an alternative out there?
I have created a ticket in trac https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2074
If you could keep all bugs and/or feedback posted to this ticket (‘tracs’ everything in one place)
This has only beeen tested using Simple Press 5.1.4
To install download the SimplePress5.php file and upload it to bbPress in the folder /wp-content/plugins/includes/admin/converters/
Basic instructions on using any of the import tools are here (will to get these updated soon)

Sorry where does this code go?
wp-content/themes/mytheme/functions.php?
Thanks Stephen,
I’ll be glad to try your solution, also because I tried the plugin of that post and it works only partially, it imported few posts, assigning them only to admin user and other stuffs, so in my experience quite useless as is.
If you need a tester, please feel free to send your version and instruction for use to macitaly at gmail dot com.
Thanks in advance
Thank you for the great plug-in.
Sorry poor English, I’m Japanese.
I am creating the Japanese language file for bbpress 2.2.
However, the menu of bbPress in an Admin page is not translated.
In the debugger’s test๏ผ
register_post_types() will be called before the load_textdomain().
Therefore, register_post_types() can’t translate $post_type[‘labels’] definitely.
Thanks toemon.
I was doing the odd tweak and bug fix with the ‘other’ importers for bbPress and whilst at it I decided to have a go at Simple Press 5.1.4, I’ll upload it tomorrow (just need to test a couple more bits first) and if you could give it some testing that would be greatly appreciated.
I cannot reproduce this, what versions of bbPress & WordPress are you using?
What are the permalinks?
– ‘TEST’ /forum/test/
– ‘FORUM’ /forum/test/forum/
I am seeing this strange behavior where if category description is entered, all sub-forums under that parent category will disappear and even clicking into the category does not reveal them.
Steps to produce:
1. Create category TEST
2. Create forum FORUM and select TEST as category
3. Edit TEST category and enter some description/update
And to add to that, even if I go back to delete the description, it doesn’t work.
Anyone seeing this?
EDIT: Updated title to include ‘private’ context (@Netweb)
Hello, can anyone tell me which file/s create this page: First page of bbPress Forums
and this page: Second page of bbPress Forums, a category page of forums?
I want to create a page that looks like the second page, but has all categories on it and I think I can figure it out if someone points me to which files I could copy functions out of.
I saw an old thread of people looking to set their bbPress forums up like phpBB3, has it been done? ‘Cause that’s what I’m looking to accomplish here and I’m willing to share the template once I get done.
Ok I submitted a ticket. I rolled back to the last version and everything is fine, so it was the latest update.
I had everything set up fine, Until this last update. When a member creates a new blog when bbPress is activated, they are only granted participant status to their blog, so they cannot even access their dashboard. I deactivated all plugins to make sure in fact it was bbPress that was causing this, and it is. When I deactivate bbPress, they can access their dashboard, and are granted Administrator status. I just happened to be testing new accounts today, and realized this was happening. I did just update bbPress to the latest, so I’m assuming it was due to this latest update, as it was working fine before.
What can I do to fix this?
If someone could just guide me please (I’m returning to bbPress after a confused time with it pre-plugin days).
Plug-in installed OK and it was easy (thanks!). The forum is using my blog page layout which has a widget controlling the right sidebar (my own theme design adapted from blankslate).
http://www.historyhouse.co.uk/historynews/
The test page works fine (apart from it’s too wide – but I can solve that.)
Problem is I want it to have its own unique page template (not using the sidebar widget). Probably something like this template I created.
http://www.historyhouse.co.uk/historynews/history-of-ashen-my-ancestors
In my stumbling I thought a child theme may have been the answer so I looked the below page but the bbpress version number is not the same. Besides it didn’t seem to work for me.
http://codex.bbpress.org/legacy/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/
So in a nut shell. How can I make it use the template in my second example?
Thanks in advance and be gentle with me ๐
Hi, I’ve done searching and couldn’t find anything related specifically to my issue with bbpress… I’m running the latest bbpress with WordPress 3.4.2 for my forum on my blog.
My forums are located here: http://wrtapps.com/forums/
The problem is the title of the forums page below the menu bar. It shows the title as “General discussion” which so happens to be the last forum page I saved in my dashboard. Previously it was showing the title as “Troubleshooting”… How do I change this to a custom title?
Thanks!
I noticed a recent bbPress update touted improved Multisite flow support – any progress on this issue?
Doesn’t look like it from my initial testing, but fingers are crossed hoping something official is in the works.
You can use the shortcode in the PHP template files with the do_shortcode() function.
echo do_shortcode('[bbp-topic-index]'); would do the trick.
Of course; there is a performance overhead involved with making WordPress parse the shortcode before displaying the content. Using WP_Query and creating a custom loop would be the ideal method, but it’s also much trickier.
Hi, thanks for the answer, but I meant in the theme as inside of the PHP template files. How could I bring for example the latest questions to the front static homepage.
Thanks
