Hello,
I test the plugin “GD bbPress Attachments” which looks very interesting, but I can’t get “attached files” in BBPress topics and answers. In fact, I noticed that this button to download is visible when I am logged in to the admin, however I don’t want that forum’s participants have to create an account to add attachments (especially pdf’s files) in their comments.
Can you help me, please?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
I would suggest trying it on a local setup using MAMP or XAMP
Then export the forum using WordPress’ “Export” tool, and then the “Import” tool on your site.
p.s I haven’t tested or seen anyone do a Vanilla install for quite a while and sugget you take a close look at the import o make sure it works. Also try bbPress 2.6-alpha, lots of importer improvements, you can get it from here https://bbpress.org/download
The theme used here on bbpress.org is called bbpress-org, the theme used on buddypress.org is called buddypress-org, I see a pattern emerging, the theme used on codex.bbpress.org is called codex-bbpress-org, the theme used on codex.buddypress.org is called codex-buddypress-org, there is a pattern here :shakes fist: ;P
Along with the above, each of those themes is a WordPress child theme, the parent theme is named bb-base, as you can see below per the announcement blog posts all the above parent and child themes and plugins used on all the sites were “open sourced” back in March 2014
Open Sourcing bbPress.org
Open Sourcing BuddyPress.org
The above posts also link to the source repos, there is also a new child theme that is now used on the bbPress 2.x powered https://wordpress.org/support/ forums and an even newer evolution of this theme is being worked on for the updated redesign of the WordPress forums, you can even sneak a peak at the new design by visiting this URL: https://wordpress.org/support/?new-theme=1
The updates to all of the above and the migration of the WordPress Support Forums to bbPress 2.x, rather 2.6-alpha is one of the reasons bbPress 2.6 isn’t out yet, it’s because we’re making sure bbPress 2.6 will be the best it possibly can be, and by deploying it on wordpress.org and the ensued battle testing of it that has been taking place we’ve got a few things to do before we can say bbPress 2.6 is ready to be released.
@mikehaceman, thanks for testing this, I’ll update the and test the patch in a few hours
And FWIW an import should also work albeit slower without the wp_bbp_converter_translator table, some hosts don’t allow users to create new tables, so I’ll see if I can figure out why this isn’t working either for you 🙂
A couple of things, if you use bbPress 2.6-alpha that should fix your issues, you can download it from https://bbpress.org/download
You “might” need to update your old SMF database to the latest version, its too difficult to maintain multiple database versions for ~25 or so forum imports we support.
Run through the deactivate plugins process again, this time though reactivate the plugins one by one, and test as you go, as soon as you activate the plugin that is causing this you can raise a support issue with the author or there may be an alternative plugin you could use for that feature if a fix isn’t available.
Create yourself a test user with the default participant role and use your browser “incognito” mode.
Also try disabling all your plugins and see if that fixes the issue.
Hi,
the content beneath Latest replies is aligned centered. Is it possible to align the text left? What custom-css I can use to achieve this?
I asked the support of the theme I use (Avada), but they tell me to turn you.
I’m using wordpress 4.6, bbPress-version 2.5.10-6063.
The link to my site is: http://psd2.nl/forum/
Thanks very much for your help!
Best regards,
Oeroes
one best way.ive done with my forum. All other ways are not working
-Update phpbb to the latest version
-use the BBpress Alpha 2.6
-import the data from phpbb
-do the fixes down under in separatly ( run sql in 5 steps, begin with the first)
/* Get all posts with wrong author and correspondent right author from translator table */
create table TMP_ORPHANS as

/* we create indexes to speed up the update process */
ALTER TABLE TMP_ORPHANS ADD INDEX(post_date);
ALTER TABLE TMP_ORPHANS ADD INDEX(post_author);
ALTER TABLE TMP_ORPHANS ADD INDEX(real_author);
ALTER TABLE TMP_ORPHANS ADD INDEX(user_ip);
ALTER TABLE TMP_ORPHANS ADD INDEX(post_title);
/* Revert bad authors to good authors */
UPDATE

/* Drop TMP table */

The result is a compleet database with the good relation between post and author
Not totally sure exactly what you are after, but my style pack plugin includes a latest activity widget that sounds like it might do what you are after
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
WAMP or server installation ?
ok, suggest
You deactivate, delete and re-install bbpress
If that doesn’t work
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.
If those don’t then either maybe corrupt wordpress/server issue.
Hmmm… Instead of my testing this I’ll let you:
What about a word without a hyphen? Does discussiontopic work?
I can’t remember if there is a limitation like this or not, I’ll dig around some more and find out for sure later 🙂
Interested in a solution for this as well. I would like AJAX Tags, and Tags required. An existing plugin recommendation would be great, or if anyone wants to do some code mod, I’m game to test it out 😉
Can’t immediately see any issue.

Then come back
After removing almost half of the Drupal 6 spam and blocked uses, I still have over 250K users to import to WP/bbPress.
I run a prior test import for the topics, and it seemed to run fine. But importing users one at a time hangs after every ~one hundred users. I have to manually click stop and start at the Converter Admin page every few minutes. If I can’t find other solutions, I might want to install a Browser addon to click stop and start for me every 3 minutes when I’m away. Otherwise, I’m at 2500 users now and I still have 247K users to go! It won’t finish for weeks.
Suggestions? Thanks.
suggest you go back to basics and try :

Hi,
I was hoping someone can offer me a way to delete this topic “what is your favorite movie of all time” it was a test topic and was filled with 322,222 spam replies. I cant delete from admin because I get internal server error. Can you guide me in deleting from database via ccpanel?
Thank you
Hi Pascal. I tried renaming the folder to bbpress.old and then installing the latest version of bbPress, but the admin panel still said that it was on the previous pervion of bbPress. I’d be okay with doing a proper uninstall of bbPress and then doing a clean install, but will that wipe out my bbPress database tables? I need to be able to do this without destroying my community.
bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes
It could be a theme or plugin issue

I just set up my new forum for testing and I have found a strange issue with breadcrumbs. I am new to bbpress and could use some guideance.
I am sending people to check out the forum at http://www.themagicinpixels.com/forum-testing
When they click into a post (for example)
http://www.themagicinpixels.com/forums/topic/rondaxe-fire-tower/#post-106747
Then click the forums link in the breadcrumbs, it takes them to
Forums
How can I fix this?
First and foremost, let me go ahead and apologize if this isn’t the right place for this.
With the latest major WP update, it seems that my forums have become broken. When viewing a topic or thread, the entire site’s theme isn’t loaded, resulting in a white screen with very minimal content on it. I’ve switched out themes to see if maybe it was just a theme issue, and the results were the same.
Some information about my site:
Forum URL: http://cosplay-central.com/forum/
Wordpress Version: 4.6.1
bbPress Version: 2.5.10
Current Theme: Esteem
You’re welcome all. Happy to be able to help 🙂
@wasanajones You can use get_the_excerpt( $se_post ) or just post_excerpt property of the WP_Post object:
Edit the last callback from previous code to go as this:
add_filter('bbp_get_form_topic_content', function( $body ) {
global $se_post;
if( $se_post ) {
return $se_post->post_excerpt;
}
return $body;
});
I did not test this but I am sure it should work.
Best,
Samuel
I have the exact same issue. Using WP 4.6.1 with twenty sixteen theme + bbpress and no other plug-ins on a local install for testing.
I can create forums and topics. However, I cannot post any comments and keep getting the following error message: ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that?
Have tried repeated uninstall/install of both WP and BBP. Same result.
Maybe to help out a bit:
We run
PHP7.0-fpm (latest stable)
Nginx 1.10 (latest stable)
Ubuntu 16.04 (latest stable)
WordPress 4.6.1
bbPress 2.5.11
bbPress Advanced Statistics 1.4.02
bbPress NewTopics 1.0.1
bbPress No CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA 1.0
BuddyPress Version 2.7.2
BuddyPress Activity Plus 1.6.4
Buddypress Messages Spam Blocker 2.5
BuddyPress Profile Tabs 1.6.1
Thank you Robin for your response. It’s much appreciated. I actually had already tried that route exactly as you have described plus I probably didn’t make my question clear on the private part.
Here is the link to my test page of forums – http://imaginationfoundry.com/forumhome/
I made “Pasteboard Heaven” a category and then packet of fun with PH its parent. Even though I chose Alternate on BPQ my site is creating an indent instead of bringing it down one notch on its on line.
Regarding the private portion I meant I didn’t want the private groups to display on my main forum index page.
Any thoughts on why my bbpress is creating an indent?
Any thoughts on how to hide th private groups from displaying on my forum page?
Thank you Robin or any others.
