When I login with my test account and go to edit profile it takes me to the user profile in wp-admin.

In there it shows buttons for Topics and Replies. How do I remove Topics and Replies from that?

My bbpress site is now being tested by joe public.

Every time one view’s a forum category and then chooses a forum from that category, it automatically takes them to a forum under a different category.

For instance, if I view…

Forums, North East, Country Durham, the breadcrumb trails shows that’s where I am, but when I click on the “schools” forum the breadcrumb trail changes to show I am in the schools forum but under a different category – and it’s always South West, Devon!!!

Why do all my forums default back to South West, Devon ??!!

When they were created, I chose the correct hierarchy and can view this is still correct from the Forum, All Forums in the dashboard.

You can see the issues here… http://lifeafterlondon.com/?page_id=973

I would really appreciate someones help with this – THANK YOU.

@OC2PS

I was testing and got the same error message using the standard upload (didn’t use the plugin you have listed) but after I clicked on Installed Plugins and went back to try it again, it went through fine. At that point, I see two bbpress installs listed with the 2.0.2 version active and 3786 inactive.

Very strange.

[intimez]

I’m testing with the following:

wordpress3.3.1, buddypress1.5.4, bbpress2.1r3786

After activating buddypress and then going all the way up to the forum part, what exactly is the step to get it configured? I do not want to use Group Forums. I click on Install Site Wide Forums it tells me it is installed.

This was a problem before the 2.1 beta so …

What is being done in the 2.1 beta that addresses this?

How should users configure it via upload if they are not using plugin search?

[Regis Fortes]

I had the same problem. It seems the environment variables used at the function bbp_logout_url inside

bbp-common-functions.php was not working well at http server here or are deprecated. So, I changed the line <$redirect_to = home_url( isset( $_SERVER ) ? $_SERVER : ” );> with this one <$redirect_to = $_SERVER.$_SERVER;>. I do not know if this fixed the problem definitly , because i am testing yet, but the redirect error stoped to occur.

I’m I really can’t say because I use SVN to sync up with the latest version. Maybe jjj will have some input.

[hock88]

Thanks for the quick reply!

Will try it now.

Thanks.

[Jared Atchison]

There is a “Recent Activity” widget that comes with bbPress – typically I just use that

[hock88]

Hi jaredatch,

Thanks for the reply. BTW do you have any suggestion or recommendation to share?

Thanks.

[Jared Atchison]

Should be fixed if you get the latest 2.1 download. Again, thanks for reporting and props jjj for the quick fix.

[kannued]

Thanks jaredatch! Found the plugin.

[Jared Atchison]

bbPress has a widget that can show the latest activity (you can set how many).

I would suggest creating a new sidebar area, place that on your homepage, and then use the bbPress activity widget in it.

[kannued]

On my home page which is straight html/css, I would like to pull the latest discussions, about 3 entries, from my bbpress page. How would I do this so it would automically update on my home page as new posts occur?

[Jared Atchison]

You would need to post that in the support forum for that plugin, which is here

https://wordpress.org/tags/bbpress-latest-discussion?forum_id=10

Unfortunately, according to https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-bbpress-latest-discussion-dropping-all-bbld-support-and-development it seems the plugin is no longer supported.

I would suggest trying to find a different one to use, that is actively being maintained.

@JJJ: Which version are you trying?

I am using the latest version of WordPress 3.3.1

I have tried both bbPress 2.0 and 2.0.2

I installed bbConverter through WP’s admin panel so the plugin version is 1.3

When I click Activate immediately upon installation, I get

The plugin does not have a valid header.

[mudechevy]

It seems I have the other pages looking fine with the sidebar but the single topic page shoves my sidebar below the forums. How can I fix this? I’m using custom community theme with bbpress & buddypress. http://www.wisewahm.com/forum/topic/test/

[hock88]

Hi,

Good day to all community,

I am starting up a site, and I am setting up the BBPress Latest Discussions Plugin. I have installed and integrated WP & BB. Once I activate the plugin and use the call for the latest discussion on the wordpress page I am given this error

“It Seem There Is Something Wrong With BBLD Configuration, Please Check It.”

What should I set?

Thanks,

Hock88

[jamieskella]

I think I may have a related issue, two of them in fact:

– For some reason my forum index won’t show more than 5 forums. If I create 7, 2 are hidden.

– My topics list only shows 5 topics, even though it says “Viewing 5 topics 1 through 15”

Please see example here: http://pantheones.com.au/latest-posts/

Do you have any idea why this would be?

[kaifanun]

same issue here. For testing just to make sure if any of my other plugins or themes are not the cause, I have installed bbPress on a fresh WP install without any other plugins and I get the same error.

any solutions yet?

[Jared Atchison]

There’s a “Zip Archive” link on the bottom of https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin – this will be the latest development version.

Just keep in mind, while 2.1 is general stable, it’s still beta so make a backup of things first!

[Jared Atchison]

I just tested it and you are right! Seems to be screwy when using the numeric permalinks.

We’re going to look into that. I definitely appreciate you coming back and posting about the problem you encountered – this will help us make 2.1 as solid as possible when it is released publicly

[Keshav Saini]

I am using the latest versions of both the software. Buddypress 1.5 and bbpress 2

I have installed bbpress both for group forums and sitewide forum. I started seven discussions in sitewide forum but none of them appearing in my activity.

[jamescarson1]

Jaredatch, this is gold. And it will be appreciated by many people I imagine. This should be reposted as a sticky or similar until it’s added to the plugins page or to the next bbpress update?

By the way I just tested the code and it’s working great. It’s missing a closing ?> tag.

Thanks!

bbPress needs to face the fact that most people who want a forum, have already had a forum. The *new* market for forums is much smaller than the *installed base* of forums.

Consequently, most of the people who would want to use bbPress probably are already using another forum script and need help migrating. It is collossal mistake to leave this for community plugins.

If I have a forum software in a production environment, then one of the major factors influencing my decision regarding migration is whether or not there is a robust, stable, tried and tested and reliable migration path to the target software. This is extremely important for me. In fact, I would suffer a somewhat inferior software willingly rather than move to a better software if there is no clear migration path or there is a high degree of risk in migration.

It is a mistake on part of bbPress to leave migration to community plugin developers. Even if there were some plugins out there that did the job, it would be much less reassuring to prospective users compared to a migration/import path created by the bbPress team. As it happens there are only 2 import plugins ( http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/forumconverter/ and http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbconverter/) out there and both of them are broken and not supported.

WordPress does it right in building an importer directly into the core.

Over the next 18-24 months, I expect to see a mass exodus from phpBB as they rewrite the software from ground up ( http://area51.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=75&t=41583). If bbPress provide a good migration path, it stands the chance to capture some of fleeing population.

Task

I think it would be greatly beneficial to the project if the bbPress team build a bbPress importer that supports the top 4 forum software: phpBB, Invision, SMF and vBulletin.

Such a migration tool, importer or converter will:

i) import topics and forum hierarchies into bbpress

including the relations between forums, topics and replies

and slugs for forums, topics and replies

ii) generate an .htaccess to place in the old forum directory so that old URLs are 301 redirected to new ones.

iii) import users including profiles, passwords, signatures and roles

@jjj You have mentioned at http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1740 that this is more appropriate for a plugin and that bundling that code in the core of bbPress seems needless for many users that are starting off fresh.

I believe that this function is too important to be left to the mercy of others. There is a huge trust issue…if I have to entrust my data to someone, I want to make sure that they are reliable, trustworthy, good enough, and understand the software well.

I take your point about not bundling the function in the core. How about a migration plugin by the bbPress team?

[Jared Atchison]

This is a total guess and not tested, but you should be able to put something like this in your theme’s functions.php file

add_action( 'bbp_init', 'do_custom_body_classes' );

function do_custom_body_classes() {

add_filter( 'body_class', 'genesis_custom_body_class', 15 );

}
