Do you mean like one of the following?

In the sidebar a list of recent topics on bbPress.
A bbpress post inside the loop of your homepage posts.
The latest bbpress topic/reply appear as the main content of your homepage?

All the best, Lynq.

[Buovjaga]

Yes, I’m trying to locate some blocking replies to send to netweb for testing.

JJJ: does this logic mean it skips the first post in topic: LEFT JOIN phpbb_topics AS topics USING (topic_id) WHERE posts.post_id != topics.topic_first_post_id LIMIT 470, 1

I think if this is true, I can’t just look at my phpbb_post row 470 in phpmyadmin, but would have to run a modified query to display the exact offending post.

Create a page (or edit an existing page) and add the [bbp-topic-index] shortcode to that page.

https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

[andersvinther2]

I’ve noticed that the main forum url (http://bbpress.org/forums/) shows Latest Topics….

On my site it shows the list of forums.

Is that easy to change?

I haven’t been able to find any settings for this 🙂

Hello,

I’m have a little bit of an issue with both TinyMCE & the Password Strength Indicator in user profile editor. Both of which seem to be invisible – space for them in the CSS has been provided but nothing displays. Are they supposed to be installed separately?

I’m running the latest version of WordPress & bbPress

Great work James ! one more small thing would like to bring to your notice, Under Admin page of user having capability as Forum moderator (twenty Eleven theme 1.4) no topics or replies are shown, though one test topic is created count for All(1) Published(1). Once again Great Job.

[viktora]

No John.:-) I was using multiple methods for displaying my forum just for testing purpose. Now, the status is that I do NOT have any page with shortcode. I just modified the Forum base slug to /discussion/. Suddenly the historical /forums/ forum base slug started to work in the way I expected and the new slug /discussion/ works in the same wrong way as /forums/ did before.

Couple of questions:
Why is the /forums/ slug working after it was modified in the admin area (forum base slug)? It should not be visible at all.
Why is the new /discussion/ forum base slug ignoring page-front-forums.php file? Compared to the /forums/ slug which accepts whe template file ok.

Hi,

I seem to have successfully migrated my bbpress database (1.1) into the latest (2.11) wordpress plugin version. The problem is I dont want the wordpress “site” at all – just the forum (as it used to be in its standalone version – accessed via a link from my main site menu).

In addition I can only access the forum at present via the dashboard and ‘view’. It does not appear as a menu command on the wordpress “site” or anywhere else on that page. How does one find the forums at all on that “home” page?

What I am trying to do is recreate what I had before (with custom template too) under this new setup. I would not have moved to Wpress but was forced to as the bbpress 1 forum is getting chinese spammers every day and the registration approval plugin doesnt work at all.

I hope this is clear enough for some good help/advice! I cannot find any good simple steps to convert the one into the other. Do I have to base my entire site on WordPress now (will have to junk wpress if I am forced to do that!) or can I recreate what I had before when bbpress was a standalone forum?

Thanks

Patrick

[Stephen Edgar]

Try creating a page called ‘forum-test’ and add the shortcode [bbp-forum-index]

[viktora]

Hi John, this is what I did when using the shortcode in my page created with slug /forums-test/. It worked well. But what if I do not want to use the shortcodes? The /forums/ page is ignoring my customized page-front-forums.php. I tried to edit the page slug from /forums-test/ to /forums/ but the system is insisting on slug /forums-2/ (created automatically by the system). How should I make the bbpress to use my customized page-front-forums.php file on /forums/? Ideally without shortcodes?

I tried to change the slug for

> The other issue is that subscribers cannot embedd pictures into posts but editors/administrators can. I have auto-embedd links ticked. It looks like it could be a permissision thing but I wanted to check if there is anything in bbpress that prevents subscribers from doing this?

Confirmed: Admin & Editor can embed images using <img src=hxxp://example.com/test.jpg />

Forum Participant, Forum Moderator, Subscriber, Contributor and Author roles cannot. https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1916

I have done the latest posts thing fairly quickly, this would be the same for creating a widget I believe.

http://pastebin.com/AyyyQVVV

Displays the latest 5 posts.

Hi I have a couple of queries I hope you can help with..

I would like to add a widget into my sidebar that displays the content of the last few posts created on any of the forums on the site. The wordpress widgets Latest Posts and Latest Comments don’t work and the existing bbpress ones don’t contain the actual posts. I have read various posts on this and I think I may have to write something myself to do this. However I wanted to check first if there is another way of getting this from bbpress other than creating a new widget?

The other issue is that subscribers cannot embedd pictures into posts but editors/administrators can. I have auto-embedd links ticked. It looks like it could be a permissision thing but I wanted to check if there is anything in bbpress that prevents subscribers from doing this? Thanks 🙂

Hello,

since the update to bbPress 2.1 I get the following PHP error msg, when I am posting a new message. The message is posted and everything is fine, except for this error to pop up:

http://www.mydomain.de/blog/forums/users/auco/
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by 
(output started at /path/to/my/server/domain/blog/wp-content/plugins/
bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-reply-template.php:1012)
in /path/to/my/server/domain/blog/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 881

I already followed this post from 4 years ago: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/php-error-messages/ and the relevant informations on codex.wordpress.org. I also made sure I’m running the latest stable PHP5 version.
Of course I’m also running the latest WP and have as few plugins as possible.

But I really can’t figure out how to suppress this message.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi, John thanks for the reply.

I noticed the url for the user in bbPress is support/users/test (support is the forum base) but like the question when clicked the Favorites in bbPress it will take me to the BuddyPress powered 2nd site and show Page Not Found.

Is there a redirect I can do to make users see their bbPress profiles and manage the favorites and subscriptions on the main site.

Will Favorites and topic subscriptions from bbPress be integrated with BuddyPress in 1.6?

Best regards,

[John James Jacoby]

Don’t see any obvious reason there would be any conflict. There isn’t over on testbp.org. Most likely something with the theme isn’t cooperating.

[matthiaswh]

I have run into this same issue since the latest update. I can “reset” it by changing the throttle time to 0 and saving. While the throttle time doesn’t save at 0 (defaults back to 10), the Slow Down error stops for awhile. Then it will randomly pop up again.

It doesn’t seem to be a theme compatibility issue. I’ve set to the default bbPress themes.

It’s not a visual editor issue. I’ve disabled and enabled and it happens regardless.

It doesn’t seem to be a server time issue. I’ve tried it on two servers, and reset the server time to see if that helped.

[pinkdreambox]

Hi, I am testing a WordPress MultiSite (WP 3.4.1) with BuddyPress 1.6 Beta2 + bbPress 2.1.

BuddyPress is being activated on the 2nd site of the multisite network.

And I am using bbPress for the main site.

But I cannot access the Favorites in the main site where bbPress 2.1 is being used. When I clicked the Favorites in bbPress forum, I will be directed to the 2nd site and shown “Page not found”.

Also, I noticed the bbPress Forum and Topics from the main site is showing up on the BuddyPress Activity, but the favorites tab is showing nothing.

Is there a way to separate bbPress Forum on the main site with BuddyPress on the 2nd site?

Can bbPress on each site in the multisite environment has its own User profile page to manage their favorites and see the topics without going to BuddyPress?

Additional question: I can use the login to access WordPress.org, BuddyPress.org, and bbPress.org, and each has its own user profile page. Can we achieve that too?

Many thanks.

Hi Aron

any help appreciated

I’m running the latest version of bbpress with a BP 1.5 installation. Love, love bbpress!!!

I’m using a combination of bbpress central forums and BP group forums. I was having issues getting the BP group forums to work after installing/uninstalling bbpress, so I deactivated the BP group forums and planned on just using the bbpress forums. Then I saw a nifty little selection in bbpress to “let BP Groups have their own forums” so I turned that on and got group forums back for BP! Back on track and cooking with gas! (Or so I thought.)

Everything works great on the bbpress forums side, except for Favoriting (yes new verb) and Subscribing to topics, (well they work if I right-click the links and open in a new tab or window–not a biggie right now).

The two biggest issues I have are on the BP groups forums side. (1) I get the following error when trying to view a topic:

“Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::have_posts() in /home/content/46/7943846/html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-reply-template.php on line 168”. (Funny enough the Favorite and Subscribe options work really well on this broken screen.) I can post new topics just fine.

(2) When I post a topic in a BP Group forum, it shows up in the main activity feed and in my personal activity feed, but not on the activity feed for the group.

I’m using Suffusion along with the Suffusion BP and Suffusion bbpress Packs, but the issues persist even when I use the default BP theme. I deactivated my plugins one by one just to rule them out and no change in the result.

Reactivating Group Forums on the BP side and selecting “use existing bbpress install” gives me 404 errors and no BP forums at all. Don’t know what to do. Well I could just not use the BP groups forums. OR I could sledgehammer the whole install and start from scratch. Would like to avoid either of those options if possible though. The site is http://fitninja.com and test user is username: *** password: ***

If your having problems don’t increase the load to 1,000 try decreasing the load to 50 or 10, also increase the delay time to allow the disk to finish its I/O operations before executing another query.

Your PC memory has nothing to do with how much memory is being allocated to php.exe, to increase the allocated memory to the PHP process open up your php.ini file and increase ‘memory_limit’ to 256M.

Also open up Windows ‘Resource Monitor’ whilst you are running this to monitor the PHP process and Disk I/O, when I was doing early testing it was my HDD that was the bottleneck and causing the import to fail.

Folks I need a good Social plugin for the latest version of bbPress. If you one that is working for you, please recommend.

Thanks, Shep

I’m having some moderation issues on my site…

a) At least for some users, EVERYTHING they post is going to the moderation queue, despite settings both within WordPress (Settings–>Discussion) (which allows comments to be posted once there’s something approved by that author), within a plugin called “bbPress Moderation” (which allows topics and replies to be posted once there’s something approved by that author).

b) is there an easier way for an admin to publish topics and replies that go into moderation? Right now I have to manually “edit” each item and then click “publish”, which seems to take like 3 steps longer than WordPress’s default comment moderation system (where you can either bulk approve comments or where you can click “approve” instead of “edit” and “trash.”

I’ve tried turning off all plugins, toggling settings, and so forth, and nothing works. Please help! I’m running latest installations of WordPress, Buddypress, bbPress… GEnesis/Prose. Thank you.

Hey John, thanks for this. I was looking at those, particularly masonjames’ page here: https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

Do I need to do something to activate it to look for these things? I tried another test by moving the page-front-topics.php from the extras folder to the root of my theme, but no edits I do to that file seem to change the /topics/ page layout (which I’m assuming is that page… but perhaps I am wrong there).

Is there a list anywhere of what files control what layout’s? That might be helpful to make sure I am at least editing the right pages… 🙂

Thanks for your help!

Ideally, theme authors should update their themes for the latest version of bbPress. In bbPress 2.1, the $bbp global was replaced with a function call to bbpress(). The snippet of code above is recreating the global that 2.1 eliminated the need for.
