@DevArthran There has since been another update and unless you downloaded the version you are using from the ‘SVN Trunk’ you wont have the latest patches.

You can download an updated version of bbp-user-functions.php (4141) which has worked for a few others it will be in the next update of bbPress.

It would also be great to get some feedback on the vBulletin import as we have had very little feedback thus far from anyone migrating from vBulletin to bbPress.

Check the Codex https://codex.bbpress.org/ for the latest docs and to get you up and running please see:

‘Getting Started with bbPress’ https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/

If you would like to help us get the docs updated please login with the same credentials you use here on bbpress.org to https://codex.bbpress.org/wp-admin and help out however you can.

Is there some reason why the templates in 2.2 have been changed to use divs and lists to markup table content?

Things like a number of multi-column rows, with corresponding headers (e.g. latest threads) are semantically best marked up as a table.

Hello,

I went to : http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin
Lots of language translation files are available and I was able to download them successfully.
Unfortunately for some languages, the current validators are not validating anything, leaving bbpress dead for these languages.
The bad thing is that there is no way to download older versions of the translation files, which could still work for 90% of the strings.

Please correct me if i’m wrong.

A solution would be to have a separate store on bbpress.org where the latest validated translation files are available. Even outdated translations would be better than nothing.

The situation is pretty bad, for example at the moment we can’t have a forum in the french language.

@Durelle I have sent you an email with a fix to the gmail address listed on your site, if you could test this for us that would be great.

I have been trying for ages to integrating bbpress forum to my website here Latest Universities News, i have added the forum but it is empty, how do i make it available for users/members to comment, start topics?

[Ryan Hellyer]

Howdy,
I added support for bbPress into my anti-spam plugin this morning. I don’t actually use bbPress though, so can’t confirm that it is indeed working on a live site, so if any of you kind bbPress folks can help a poor plugin dev. out by testing it for me, that would be really handy 🙂

It works ninja well on blog comments, so assuming I’ve implemented it correctly, it should (in theory) work just as well for bbPress too.

Here’s the announcement post for bbPress support:
http://pixopoint.com/2012/08/05/bbpress-buddypress-and-multisite-spam/

And here’s the download page at WordPress.org:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/spam-destroyer/

It should help block both user registrations via the bbPress user registration shortcode and it should block automated guest posters too.

How to make from WP Editor level users Moderators for BBpress? Srsly I can not find this option. Only to switch from Editor to Moderator in Profile editing.

all latest versions.

[fripp]

Tanya, I’m in! It’s the only feature I’ve missed since converting to bbpress from SMF.

But it is the most important, I think. And so do the users in my forum as well. It is the easiest way to keep updated.

Most users want a quick overview of what has been going on. And not just the latest postings, but the postings they have not yet read.

Let’s do this!

[apena916]

What i’m experiencing was even before I installed bbPress Moderation. When I installed bbPress alone i still needed to approve all the posts, when the problem persisted then I installed the bbPress Moderation just to see if it allowed what it said, which is after one time approved I wouldn’t have to approve again, but it never fixed the problem, I still had to approve every post So I did what you said and disabled the bbPress Moderation and I’m still getting the same problem, with or without the plugin all posts goes to ‘Pending’ and I have to approve every single one of them which gets really annoying. I disabled bbPress and re-enabled it and still nothing. I even found a function that I tested on functions.php, the function has this included thinking it would force the users capability to publish.

$role = get_role( 'subscriber' ); // gets the editor role
$role -> add_cap( 'publish_topics' ); //-> is actually greater than symbol, this forum is not showing it

but that didn’t work, i feel like there’s an option that never got set in my database, i even restored the plugin and its not working. I just don’t understand why its not working for me, or nothing is being set in capability mapping

Hi I have not built the site as of yet I do have several domains i use to build and test stuff though on our server.

Scenario: I build a WPMU site on the main domain then I add a sub-folder for bbpress is there a way / or thread here explaining how I can have separate databases and one login for both sites? I would like to keep the databases separated so as we grow and I need to separate things it would simplify things as far as moving and using a couple different servers.

So WP-1 with MU and / subfolder WP-2 with bbpress / 2 databases on the same account, one login for both.

I have to say this it took two weeks to figure it all out. But bbpress is prety awesome even after over 10 years of phpbb, I think you have something awesome here, Thanks!

One more thing, is there a way to set the notify tic box to “auto notify” and tic of you don’t want notified?
Thanks again!
BW

Any fixes for known issue have all been released with bbPress 2.1.2

Why arnt you running the latest versions WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress?

[Stephen Edgar]

If you are using the latest bbPress Plugin version 2.1x, if so your members/users should see these on their profile page http://example.com/forums/users/username

[Stephen Edgar]

I started to write some doc’s but like you got confused pretty quickly with all the different info available. Did you see the 2.1 install info here?

I’ll do some testing and and fix up the docs, once completed it should be available here:
https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/ ‎

Hello.

My forum was fine translated to Danish before updating to the latest version of bbPress, 2.1.2. But now I cannot seem to figure out how to do the translation? Do I have to put the .po file elsewhere?

What is exactly the procedure for uploading and changing the language of bbPress? Different topics say different things.

Found the .po file here: http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/da/default

[sn07]

Thanks netweb for creating the ticket.

Lynq – thanks for the code for the latest posts. Did you create a new php file with this code or put it in an existing file?

[James Thomson]

UPDATE: I have now upgraded to the latest version, v2.1.2 and Buddypress v1.5.7 but still get the same error – every status update I try to make shows up as a single ‘0’ character in the stream.

So how can I roll back bbPress please?

[erobertwald]

I am pulling my hair out on this. I have tried getting bbPress to work with a WordPress site using a custom theme and evidently I’m missing something because it just isn’t happening. Here’s what I’ve done based on what I could find for instructions so far:

• I installed and activated the plugin through the wordpress admin.
• I created a test forum and a test topic through the wordpress admin.
• I created a child theme folder, named the same as the primary theme appended with ‘-child’.
• I copied the contents of the wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-twentyten into the child theme folder.
• I updated the style.css file ‘Template:’ line to refer to the parent theme.
• I added ‘add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );’ to the main theme’s functions.php.

When I go to the forum via http://www.carolina-business.org/forums/, I get a page that spits out a section titled with the most recent post title and a huge amount of blank space with the forum list at the bottom of the section. This is followed by a section for every other post on the site, each of these containing the forum list.

When I go to the forum via http://www.carolina-business.org/forums/forum/test-forum-1, I get another page that shows all of the posts in the site. I get the same result via http://www.carolina-business.org/forums/topic/test-topic-1/.

What I’m trying to achieve is for the forum to appear in the content area of the site, within one of the content frames (the white box with the green header and gray border.)

Can anyone tell me what I am doing incorrectly/not doing? Thanks!

You could try something like this, but note I haven’t thoroughly tested it yet. http://pastebin.com/NC8JB4hV

By default you see only the ‘Red X’ for both favorites and subscribed topics on your user profile page eg. /forums/users/username/

Are you using the latest version v2.1.1 and WordPress 3.41?

[Chris A. a11n]

I’m working with bbPress 2.1 and bbp-theme-compat and some weird stuff is happening with the user profile pages. If I view the profile page of an author or contributor I’m getting the post thumbnail of that user’s latest post at the top of the profile. I’m also getting pagination at the bottom of the profile for some users.

To further this, I can’t quite find the template file that is being used to generate this page. I would assume it’s using: bbp-theme-compat\extras\single-user.php but within this file is a div with the css class “bbp-single-user”. When searching the source of the outputted profile page I can’t find that class anywhere.

So I think it is a permalink issue but I am not sure. I am developing a theme framework and I want to integrate bbpress with it and thus i was testing bbpres default installation. How ever going to site/forums/forum/test gives me a 404 error. even site/forums gives me a 404 – the theme throws the 404 –

Can any one give me any ideas as to how to fix this? My permal link structure is
