Pascal, thanks for getting back to me. I’m currently using the Customizr theme updated to the latest version. I had a look at the forum on my iPhone and like you said it looks even worse!! In relation to your patch where should I enter this into?

Hi Guys,

I got the problem, that bbPress is not splitting the posts in different pages when there are a few answers. For example: http://germansimracing.de/community/thema/dauerstartnummern/

Is there anything to setup or what could be the problem? I updated WordPress a few minutes ago to the newest version. bbPress and all other plugins are up to date, too.

Thanks in Advance for your help! 🙂

Here you go

http://www.coffeeblack.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/bbpress-vbulletin-permalinks-1.zip

for now it just basically replicates the permalinks that I have in Vbulletin but it puts the threads into their parent forums etc

You are welcome

Please post any changes here and ill setup the github properly so it can be updated there.

Mods admins etc please see if you can integrate this as an option in the core.

[laurcarsan]

yes, it’s the first time!
I have not updated anything recently …. I have this error some time ago and do not know why it can be! 🙁

Hi Pascal,
Guess what, all is working now even after I reenabled “bbPress Notify (No-Spam) 1.10”. I am stunned. What was the 4 days of agony for, I don’t know.

Speaking of cache issue, I was wondering about that. I installed “WP Super Cache – Clear all cache” in early dev but I don’t think it has ever worked. Do you have any recommendation?

I have one remaining issue:
The subscriber who clicked Forum Subscribe only gets notification on new Topic creation but not Replies. Subscribers have to subscribe to each topics in order to receive notification on replies. On top of that, “bbP Manage Subscriptions” plugin only controls at the Forum level but no the Topic level.

I need subscribers who subscribed to a Forum gets notification on all the replies within its Forum. Is this possible with some plug-in? I can’t find any.

And then I need subscribers gets notification of Topic updates, like when announcement was updated. Is it possible?

Hi there,

I have the following issue:

First, the already created topics are not displayed (It`s written: This category contains 1 topic, and was last updated by user). How to make them displayed?

Secondly, while creating topics via WP panel I cannot see the forum parent tab (see uploaded screen shot https://we.tl/rxzcmpoxn6). How to deal with that?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,
Actually after further testing, my code above for some reason hid the Forums, Topics, and Replies menu from people who had access to view them. Here is an updated piece of code that does not have this problem.

/*Customize the BBPress roles to allow Participants to trash topics
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'ST_add_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );

We have a closed forum at http://www.secretgarden.eu.com using bbPress 2.5.8 , bbPress Notify 0.2.2 , bbP Private Groups 3.1.9 …. a certain person has left the group, they are unchecked as a user for the private group and are no longer visible as a member of the Plan that gives access to the forum. They cannot access the forum so that fits with this. However they are still getting emails on new Topics that are posted. This is embarrassing for them and others. Is there some separate file with email addresses used to send people new topics that has in some way not been updated?

Any help much appreciated

[aero23]

Forum:

I would like each forum to show the total times viewed as well as each topic to display times viewed. In addition to voices and posts column it should show how many times people have seen the threads. I have not been able to find a plugin that is still supported most seem to not have been updated in years.

Only one that could work is bbpress simple view counts but it immediately creates an error in the forum when installing.

Can you suggest one?
Thanks!

Any chance you could talk to your webhost and have the MySQL version updated?

WordPress’ minimum requirements per https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/ are WordPress also works with PHP 5.2.4+ and MySQL 5.0+ which you are using but I suspect the phpMyAdmin warning Your PHP MySQL library version 5.1.49 differs from your MySQL server version 5.0.51a. you see are probably related to this issue.

If your vBulletin database uses utf8_mb4 but your WordPress install is only using utf8 then you’ll run into issues. As Pascal pointed out with that link, you are using MySQL v5.0.x which doesn’t support utf8_mb4, only MySQL v5.5.3 and above does.

If the vBulletin database used utf8 rather than utf8mb4 then I’d expect the import to work just fine, but because of the different character sets and collation differences the only way around this I see is to resolve this by upgrading to at least MySQL v5.5.3.

[TKServer]

I just tried checking it out, then reuploading. It will only update php or text files that I’ve updated. Won’t upload the images.

[TKServer]

@casiepa thanks for trying to help. I’ve renamed README.txt to readme.txt. I DID have structure under tags. So I fixed the stable tag to 1.0.1 in readme.txt and redid the update.

The only thing that updated is readme.txt. No images uploaded to anywhere and tags did not upload either. More help/suggestions welcomed.

Here’s the current structure.

[TKServer]

Ok. So I just updated to 1.0.1 though. The files inside of trunk updated. Can you not add photos on commits after the initial creation of the plugin?

[Stephen Edgar]

I’ve updated and sent a new pull request 🙂
https://github.com/damon18/dizkus-bbpress/pull/2

It pretty much covers everything, I removed most of the unused bits and pieces

• Removes unused anonymous/guest topic and reply importing
• Updated zk_dizkus_topics and zk_dizkus_posts table joining logic
• Removes unsupported topic favorites importing
• Removes zk_dizkus_users tables references, all usable user data is available in the zk_users table
• Removes unsupported user profile fields
• Renames all the phpBB things to dizkus

It appears dizkus supports topic subscription, forum subscription, and forum favorites. bbPress doesn’t support forum favorites so thats out, but topic and forum subscriptions should work fine
• zk_dizkus_forum_favorites – forum_id
• zk_dizkus_subscription – forum_id
• zk_dizkus_topic_subscription – topic_id

Lastly, the one broken thing 🙁 Based on the way bbPress’ importer currently works it needs to remain SQL compatible for ~25 different database schemea’s, this is really hard 😉 As such I couldn’t find a way to ignore the topic being imported a second time as a reply. So you will see after importing you will have a duplicate post, one is the original topic, and the other is a reply. I’m not sure if the database you shared with me is the complete dataset or not, if it is then manually deleting the duplicate after import would be my suggestion. If not, we can work on making a tweak/modification/hack to the original database to achieve this.

Update:

I upgraded to bbPress 2.6 and the site seems to be responding now. Will keep everyone updated on how it goes.

Thanks

[twiz911]

WordPress 4.3
bbPress 2.5.7

My forums have topics but no topics are showing. It is correctly showing:

“This forum contains 1 topic, and was last updated by…”

but also displays

“Oh bother! No topics were found here!”

an no topics are listed.

I checked /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=topic and no topics are associated with any forums. However, I re-associated each topic with the correct Forum and these changes were persisted on /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=topic but does not make any difference to the error above and no topics are listed within any forums.

Please advise where in the code I should start debugging?

Thanks

Example forum with 1 topic not showing:
http://www.trenerrycrescent.com/forums/forum/potential-electrical-fire-risk-bathroom-fan-timers/

[loveslight]

In addition to above, I just updated from 2.5.8 to bbpress 2.6, the problem remains.

Another note, I noticed when I submit a new topic or reply and wait the 17-20 second, if I hit refresh after 3 seconds it’s already there submitted and waiting on the page… it’s like behind the scenes it is working fast but there’s some delay for the browser to be told to go ahead and refresh to show the update. Maybe this info helps…

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
Give us at least some time to eat 🙂

I think there is something inside the ‘bbp style pack’ plugin.

If not, have you checked https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-unread-posts/ ? It has not been updated recently, but it might still work.

Pascal.

Hi @mairag. Updated step by step tutorial with working source code example available in next article https://wpmag.ru/2015/wordpress-multisite-signup/ (on Russian but you can use Google Translator to translate this) 🙂 Inside article you can find the links to Github with source code. Feel free to leave any questions here.

Hello,

I just updated a recent installation of bbPress (version 2.4.? to 2.5.8) today and “Change Forum Role” in the Users>All Users interface is not working. However, the all roles (site role & forum role) are editable when following the edit link under the users’ name. This is a version 4.4.2 Multisite installation and I have tested bbPress both as a Network install and a single site install with the same results. Here are some screen captures…

After clicking the Change button:

Thank you,

Yes! That’s someone from my team who posted over there so we could figure out if it might be Buddypress. It did seem to happen right around the time of the Buddypress upgrade, though I actually updated my Buddypress app after I noticed the mobile issue, so not sure…

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,

I see a (very) similar request on the buddypress forum. It also seems that BuddyPress updated some days ago (March 2, 2016). Do you think you have these issues since that upgrade ?

Pascal.

[ohcrapninja1]

Hello,

I installed the latest version of bbpress (2.5.8) and the latest version of WP (4.4.2) and since I installed bbpress any time I try to view or access the forums I get a 404 error. I am using the Postname permalinks and have made sure they are updated. Also I have disabled all other plugins to make sure that they are not the issue.

The link to the forums is here.

I have updated the permalinks and tried everything that I can think of to clear the issue and am not sure what the issue might be.

[Shane Skwarek]

Hi All–

I know this issue has been covered a dozen times, but I can’t seem to find an appropriate answer as it’s always been resolved by running an update.

Whenever a reply is posted on our site, it fails to appear. We ARE using a custom theme, so I suspect that this is likely the root of the problem. However, if someone can help point more towards WHAT we should be including in our themes to make sure that the replies display, I’d be grateful.

Here’s a link to a topic page where the replies do not show:
https://www.mta.org/forums/topic/cmt-level-1-exam-ethics/

Thus far, I’ve already:
– Updated to the latest WordPress
– Updated to the latest BuddyPress
– Ran a repair on the tables
– Changed to a default theme to confirm it’s a theme issue

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

[BenM]

Hi,

Is it safe to use this plugin which is not updated for 3 years (!)?

I search a way to restrict all bbpress (forums, pages, uploads) to members only. Is there another plugin or functions to do that ?

Thanks.
