Just installed the beta tester plug in and updated to v2.4-alpha and it did NOT fix this…

Important Upgrade Notice: Version 2.0.0 only for bbPress 2.3 or higher!

Download the plugin from here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-search-widget/

Version 2.0.0 of this plugin was released recently, and it has the requirement of bbPress 2.3 or higher in order to work! That’s because bbPress 2.3+ comes with built-in search functionality.

My plugin now builds on top of that and this brings the end to theme & template issues for the search results, finally!
The plugin’s widget is now like an extended version of the regular search widget – you get up to 13 options for the widget and/ or search form – which are really cool, not only for support forums 🙂

Also, now there’s an additional SHORTCODE with a bbPress search form! You can add this Shortcode anywhere Shortcodes are supported. See FAQ for parameters and usage examples.

Further, a new feature I am really, really proud of, is a new Widgetized Content Area for “Not found” forum search results. This means you are not shown this lame & tiny “Oh bother…” message any longer but can customize this whole page via widgets! How cool is that? — This is optional! If this additional widget area has active widgets placed in it then it shows them on the frontend, if the area is empty, bbPress default behavior is displayd.

I hope you like the refactoring and the new features.

If you didn’t upgraded yet to bbPress 2.3+ you really should consider it’s worth it!

Thank you all users for using my plugin, for testing it, for all feedback! You guys rock!
–Dave 🙂

I am very new to bbpress and am working on editing a new to me website. When I updated to the latest version of BBpress the link to add topics(forums) on the left menu area on the dashboard dissapeared…I checked support forums and “saved” the permalinks and deactivated and reactivated BBpress, but still no luck. Any suggestions? Please keep the explanation simple. I am running a customized genesis site.

I was having the same issue, it was Members plugin by Justin Tadlock that fixed the problem. I had it activated previously to fix a role permission, I’m guessing bbPress updated roles or something, once I added them and clicked save and refreshed the forum admin menu displayed.

I’d suggest doing the same if you have any role manager type plugins installed and experience this issue.

@johnjamesjacoby
I think he meant the changelog at the WP Plugin Directory because that hasn’t been updated yet.

Getting the same error. Started from jetpack 2.2.3 beta and now final 2.2.3 is out and still the same issue.

This was an issue before bbpress updated to 2.3.1
So it’s not related to bbpress update, only jetpack changes. But still all other plugins works and only bbpress creates this jetpack warning.

[Shillos]

Just updated to jetpack 2.2.3 and just got this message on my site Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /plugins/jetpack/jetpack.php on line 4534 2.2.2 worked ok don’t know what happened after the update! Looks like the new update from bbpress brakes this. Incompatibility issue here. Please give us an update soon!

[pubman]

Does anyone have any ideas for this one? Just updated to 2.3.1 and still have the problem.

[studiowowo]

At the first I’m sorry about my English… 🙁
Once I updated to 2.3, the admin menus for Forums, Topics, and Replies disappeared from the administration.
Before upgrade all works fine!
I can not answer the questions of my users now …

Does anyone else having this problem?

Thank You in advance!

I totally agree, this is a much needed function and is included in the majority of forums software. I am constantly asked for this and I cannot do anything about it. I really hope this ships with bbpress2 in the near future and I hope that developers of this great software take my request and the OP’s request to heart. The proof is in the pudding so to speak, if you look at the votes on this page you will see most people voting for BBPM to be updated for bbpress http://nightgunner5.wordpress.com/2011/03/12/bbpm-plugin-plugin/

this is a necessary update we all need.

[Rachel Biel]

I need help making a couple of changes in how my forum looks.  I’m using a Parallelus theme (Salutation) and they have not updated their theme yet to the latest buddy/bbPress changes.  I asked for help on their forum (as to the styling) and they said that the theme just uses the basic bbPress layout.  I’m using bbPress 2.3, Buddypress 1.7.

Here is how the forum is laid out: http://www.tafaforum.com/user-groups/dyes/

I want the title of the discussion to basically change places and size with the text underneath it describing the topic and where the forum is.  I can barely see what the forum name is and if we have an avatar, we sure don’t need a big name in bold.

I would assume that the same changes would affect the Activity Streams: http://www.tafaforum.com/activity-streams/

Here’s the catch: please spell it out for someone who can’t code.  I wish there were a plugin that I could use or shortcode…  Is this something that I will have to change everytime there is an update with the theme?

Well, hopefully someone can point me to a permanent solution as this one is far from useful.  Thanks!

[kannued]

Okay, I had to add shortcode bbp-topic-index to my index.php which brought the front page back to the way it was before the update of bbpress2.3. Why would this happen? I shouldn’t have to make coding changes every time there is an updated bbpress plugin. I never had to re-code after an update before.

[kannued]

And there is a new search box above the new forum summary page. So now I have two search boxes on the page. One that is set by wordpress, and one that has appeared courtesy of the updated bbpress plugin

Is there any way to revert back to the bbpress plugin before this last update?

[kannued]

I updated bbpress. Never had problems with the previous updates. Now, I have the following problems on my front page:

Oh bother! No topics were found here! (why has this appeared? Comes from div id=”bbpress-forums” and div class=”bbp-template-notice”

Even though my front page is checked for latest posts. It is now showing my forum summary page. Why is bbpress plugin superseding the wordpress of only showing latest posts?

I never changed anything in bbpress files.

Apologies for the late reply but a severe case of the flu has kept me from thinking 😉

Firstly @clicknathan the bbconverter plugin has not been updated in a long time and is what the actual included converter with bbPress 2.x is based upon and indeed if you keep importing on top of imports you are going to have issues.

@trisham I cannot come up with a specific SQL query for you to delete the duplicates, ideally what you want to do is open phpMyAdmin and find the post ID’s of your imports.

i.e. Find the ‘first’ and ‘last’ post ID from your first import and then find the ‘first’ and ‘last’ post ID from your second import.

`SELECT * FROM ‘wp_posts’ WHERE ‘post_type’ LIKE ‘forum’`
`SELECT * FROM ‘wp_posts’ WHERE ‘post_type’ LIKE ‘topic’`
`SELECT * FROM ‘wp_posts’ WHERE ‘post_type’ LIKE ‘reply’`

The above queries you should see you started to see the post ‘ID’ for the duplicates and I would expect to find them in a numerical order by post ‘ID’ and this starts to build you a range of post ‘ID’ that you will want to delete.

You may find that the range of post ID’s are eg. 2650 – 5299 that are the duplicates that you need to remove and this SQL query highlights those posts `SELECT * FROM ‘wp_posts’ WHERE ID BETWEEN 2650 AND 5299 ` and this query `SELECT * FROM ‘wp_postmeta’ WHERE post_id BETWEEN 2650 AND 5299 ` finds the same posts in `wp_postmeta`

Once you have confirmed the post ID’s for your duplicates with the queries above and you are confident you have the correct ID’s you grab those SQL statements eg. `SELECT * FROM ‘wp_posts’ WHERE ID BETWEEN 2650 AND 5299 ` and `SELECT * FROM ‘wp_postmeta’ WHERE post_id BETWEEN 2650 AND 5299 ` and change the `SELECT * ` to `DELETE` for both of those queries to remove the posts from `wp_posts` & `wp_postmeta` tables.

I hope this makes some kind of sense and if you have any questions please ask away.

Just updated to bbpress 2.3 and noticed I now have a search bar at the top of my forum! Is there a way to remove it? Any ideas or suggestions much appreciated!

[John H]

Hi, I updated bbPress to 2.3 and now have bullet points on the forums page. These were not on the page before the update. The website is still under development – http://burnieworks.com/ (I am using WordPress 3.5.1)
Does any one have any idea why these bullet points are appearing?
Thanks,
John

Hi, I just updated to bbPress 2.3 and all of the admin menu items completely vanished. The following menu items are suddenly missing after upgrading to bbPress 2.3 and making no other changes whatsoever:

Forums
Topics
Replies

..all are missing after updating to 2.3, so I had to roll back to 2.2.4, and they once again are displaying normally.

Additionally, I also noticed that the “Edit” link was missing from all forum posts, even though I was logged in as Admin. Rollback to 2.2.4 resolved this issue as well.

I hope this helps in some way, sorry I don’t have time to troubleshoot further.. already spent WAAAYY too much time on what should have been a simple update. So this is just an FYI, hopefully it helps.

[Stephen Edgar]

Cool… Fix is in 🙂 Also updated https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

[Stephen Edgar]

@alexiousrahl Search is enabled by default, you should be able to see the search form at the top of your forums list eg. http://example.com/forums/

I have also updated the Shortcodes and Widgets codex pages.

[Jkum]

I updated from bbpress 2.2.4 to 2.3 an hour ago – only sticky posts have been moved and all other posts are not showing up – What should I do? How to restore my forum? Plz reply ASAP as my forum is almost dead!

[ubound]

Yes, once I updated all topics and replied disappeared from the site. They seem to be available in backend but even if I hit publish again nothing gets published. This is a huge problem for me. I need to downgrade somehow? What to do? Any ideas?

[atburi]

Once I updated to 2.3, the admin menus for Forums, Topics, and Replies disappeared from the backend. I upgrade across several installs and this happened to all of them, even on the clean install with no other plugins activated.

Anyone else having this issue? and how to resolve?

Thanks,
Alex

[jezza101]

Just a small bump to say this plugin is updated. As before, let me know if you have ideas to make this better.

Cheers.

[Erlend]

Thanks so much! Seems to have updated without a hitch (well, see below). Tested the forum search right away and it appears to be working fine, although I’m still aching for those search results to be presented as excerpts.

I did also find that I had to resave permalinks in order to see posts again, or else I would end up with a “topic not found”. That gave me quite the scare!

We’ll be checking out those improvements to code posting now.
