Yeah the converter tool isn’t working for me either. I just get starting conversion, rows of “no X to convert” and eventually it finishes, having done nothing. No errors come out so I don’t know how to test if I’ve entered the incorrect info or what. Any help?

[Robin W]

ok

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

Good day!

I was having issue on viewing private forum. It says “Oh bother! No topics were found here!”
See screenshot here: http://prntscr.com/joveye

Also I wasn’t able to create topic on a forum and was being redirected to a 404 page.

I already do plugin and theme conflict test but still it wont work.

I am using the latest version of wordpress and bbpress. The site is using Jollyany theme by JollyThemes. I even tried switching to twentyseventeen theme but still not working.
This is the site where I am having issues with: http://b-mforum.com/

Hoping for any solutions. Thanks in advance!

My situation is… if I try to write text, then bbpress show me an “error”.

Would you mind check this image “https://prnt.sc/jotnub“…

I was installed and test about “peepso”. And after deleted peepso, I can not write post on bbpress any more…

Anyone can help me??

The links that aren’t working, are they consistently not working? Can you provide an example of that

Also, try going to Settings> Permalinks and allow that page to simply load. That helps refresh links and can help with broken links. Then test links that aren’t working again.

I have just installed bbPress on a development instance for testing purposes.
I note that I am only presented with the straight Text editor (and the message “Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content”). For most of my users (and probably myself!) the Visual editor (as per WordPress itself) would be most preferable.

Q: How do I configure bbPress to present a tab for the Visual editor?

Cheers,
Geoff

Hi,

This is my first posting to this forum. I am beginning to test bbPress and have installed it on a development site. I have created one forum containing an intial “Welcome” topic.
See: http://dev.asbyparish.org.uk/forums/forum/asby-gardening-club/

The first thing that strikes me is the very weird aspect ratio of the avatars. Especially as my understanding is that avatars are always square(??)

How can I control the avatar size?
I see nothing under Settings > Forums, which is what I would expect.

Thanks,
Geoff

Whenever I make a post, a giant blurry profile picture is posted on top of it. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

Fixed it myself. Extending on benklocek s code, and also translating, added to themes functions.php

function my_custom_roles( $role, $user_id ) {
if( $role == ‘Keymaster’ )
return ‘Sjef’;

if( $role == ‘Spectator’ )
return ‘Observator’;

if( $role == ‘Blocked’ )
return ‘Utestengt’;

if( $role == ‘Participant’ )
return ‘Deltager’;

return $role;
}

add_filter( ‘bbp_get_user_display_role’, ‘my_custom_roles’, 10, 2 );

Peace!

Hello!
I seem to be having an issue with how topic replies are being displayed on my forum.
You can see the issue here: https://theknightsofentropia.blog/forums/topic/testing-2/

As you can see, the most recent reply is being displayed in a large banner across the top of the page. Only time stamps and post numbers are displayed below the original topic. If there are multiple replies, you can’t view them. Only the most recent reply (the one displayed across the top) can be seen.

Latest WP and bbPress

The forum listing shows up fine, but with a very small font that I find hard to read. I think I’ve tried every possible font setting in my theme, but none seem to affect the font for fora. The font is also small in the standard themes.

Any tips?

[emgb_520]

We have a few forums using bbPress on our site and I think there may be a bug.

When you click on the time stamp under “Latest” for a particular forum, it is supposed to take you to that post, but sometimes it doesn’t. And sometimes when admin is logged out, the post doesn’t even show up when trying to go to it (even on the non-premium, unrestricted forums).

Also, we have 2 of the 4 forums restricted because they are premium. When on the forum list page, clicking on the forum title of a premium forum goes to a restricted page. BUT when clicking on the timestamp of the latest post for that premium forum, it lets you see the thread. This isn’t supposed to happen because the forum is restricted.

Please help! Thanks in advance!

After activating bbPress plugin:

– no “Welcome” page appears
– No “Forums” menu appears in admin bar
– No “Forums” appears in Settings sub-menu
– Any “Forum” activity from Dashboard, results in error: “Sorry, you are not allowed to edit posts in this post type.”
– Administrator” accounts are given new role: Keymaster, but Keymaster role appears to have no Forums capabilities; adding capabilities does not change behavior described above.

Same..

I want to have something like on this page: http://narolkach.pl/ – scroll down the page

Running WordPress 4.9.5, bbPress 2.5.14, Buddypress 2.9.4

Forums are randomly becoming inaccessible to logged-in users, displaying only the “no topics found” message despite showing the appropriate number of topics in the forum listings. Most forums are rendered inaccessible when the error occurs, but not all. Forums that remain accessible show no obvious difference in configuration or status from the forums that display the “no topics found” message.

Problem persists regardless of theme or plugin configuration.

• I’ve tried both wpfix plugins, neither fixed the problem.
• I tried deactivating and reactivating all plugins on the actual site to no effect, then created a clone of the site and deactivated and deleted all plugins except bbPress, Buddypress, and the wpfix plugins. The problem persists.
• I’ve switched to the latest version of Twentyseventeen and the problem persists.
• I’ve tried using both Forum Tools and Buddypress tools to repair issues, to no effect.
• Also tried resetting permalinks, no effect

The only thing that repairs the issue is switching each forum to public, saving the forum, then returning the forum to private status and saving again. Bulk edit doesn’t work — only updating each forum individually.

After being fixed, the forums sometimes slip back into inaccessibility, even if no change has been made to the forum itself.

Any help in fixing this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

We are using bbPress Version 2.5.14 on our website at http://www.nationalbraille.org/forums using WordPress. Everything is latest version and all is up to date.

I’d like to add a list of site rules on this page just above the list of groups. I thought I’d find it in the list of Pages on our website, but it’s not there, and the Settings for bbPress don’t give me an option either.

Is this just not possible?

Hello 🙂
I am currently testing the RC5 with a vBulletin 3 import and I am encountering fatal errors. Or should errors be indicated for a resolution?

[yusareba]

I’m probably not the only one who experienced this.

When using buddypress along with bbpress, users can create groups and have group forums. This is awesome, however In the forum index, it’s starting to get long as more and more buddypress group forums are being created.

Is there anyway to set a max for visible # of groups in the index?

Perhaps show the latest active ones?

hello!

I am having a problem with the oembed content cards when I try to link a forum topic. The preview fails and the oembed url pulls the entire page within the iframe rather than the preview..

I thought it could have been a conflict with a plugin, but then I tried to link a post from this forum and the embed url didn’t work either…
by instance this is a random post from this forum:

Copy Link in Forum. WP logo inside

and as you can see the embed endpoint is failing to serve the preview and serves the page itself within the iframe: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/copy-link-in-forum-wp-logo-inside/embed/#?secret=haTqetxPLX

We have the latest version of wp and bbpress, and I’ve been told that in the past the card was rendering correctly for forum topics too..

Any help would be really appreciated!
thanks in advance!

So I installed bbpress and have memberpress.

I set up the forum with a test forum.

I went to my website, saw the forum, with the Test forum. All looked well. I click on the Test Forum and then the formatting fell apart. It was as if it was a post.

“Home › Forums › Test Subscribe This forum is empty. Oh bother! No topics were found here! Create New Topic in “Test” Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content. Topic Title (Maximum Length: 80): Topic Tags: Topic Type: Normal Sticky Super Sticky Topic Status: Open Closed Spam Trash Pending Notify me of …” That is what it looked like… so.. not sure how to fix that or what to do.

We resolved this. The simple solution was to go into GoDaddy (I know.. I know..) and create a new DB that I called ForumDBTest. Then I backed up the old database that had the old Kunena ver 2. Then restore that to the ForumDBTest which was on a higher MYSQL version equal to the one we built on the new site. Then I imported from ForumDBTest to the database we built. Worked like a charm! Everything came over.
