Hello!

I would love to make it so, to post on other forums, users have to put a post in a Welcome forum, to introduce themselves. Does anyone know a plugin to make this work?

Thanks!

(latest version of wordpress and bbpress, bindebros.com)

http://www.animusesports.com/forums/topic/this-is-a-test/

bbpress Version 2.5.4
WordPress 4.1

For whatever reason, only my posts are visibly correct in post count under user avatar in the forums. Everyone else shows as having 0 posts. I’ve tried repairing each of the repairable items in the Tools>Forums to no avail.

Ideas?

Thanks in advance.

So, I’ve logged in as a test user, to my bbpress forum, but it’s still saying “You must be logged in to create new topics”

So users cannot create posts. Why is this, please?

Thanks.

I run a support network Mailman email discussion group. Some members would prefer a forum. Others prefer email. The big advantage of the Mailman group is that everyone gets all the emails and we find people joining in discussion, when they wouldn’t necessarily have logged into a forum. And it’s quicker to reply by email than to log into a web forum. And easier on a phone. So everyone benefits. At the cost of inboxes becoming crowded on a busy day.

A compromise would be to have a forum that has email access – both notification of new posts and replies, and the ability to post messages and replies by email.

I’m new to forums and not sure where to begin.
Can I do this with bbPress? Or is it better to use BuddyPress?
Do I need plugins for the email functions?
I came across < href=”https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-group-email-subscription/”>BuddyPress Group Email Subscription and BuddyPress Reply by Email. Do these work with bpPress or only with the full BuddyPress? Are there other plugins that will work well?

By the way, it’s a private group and people should be able to keep their email addresses private if wished. I saw some posts here that said email addresses were CC in notifications instead of BCC, which is a problem. And other posts saying that BCC notifications weren’t getting through spam filters.

Sorry to leap in and ask so much in one go. I’m a bit lost trying to work out what setup to try.

Thank you.

When using our forum you used to see across the top the forum page where you where (topic area and then the sub folders etc). This meant to you could select the area in the forum you wanted to go back to from this list across the top of the forum page rather than having to select forum from the main menu tabs across the header bar.

not sure which update it was but its now gone and I do not know how to get it back, can anyone tell me please, thanks

Hello

when posting on our forum www.staffordrc.org which is set up for registered users only to post there is a delay in seeing your posts or replies. Often users are posting things several times thinking that it has no worked but then they all appear at once.

Does anyone know how to overcome this problem, thanks

I’m having a bit of trouble with the phpBB importer in bbPress 2.5.4.

I’ve been through about 15 imports in a cloned staging area with varying results.

My phpBB forum contains 260,000 posts, 20,000 topics and about 13,000 users. The forum has been “cleaned up” in phpBB first meaning that I’ve used phpBB’s tools to resync the forums

On each import, it works ok to a point where it successfully importing the users, forum structure and the topics. Once it begins importing and converting to replies, it gets to about 158,000 and hangs.

Clicking Stop and allowing a few minutes of rest and start again does work but the converter slows to a crawl, sometimes to 1/50th of the original speed.

Another issue is that many thousands of the replies seem to be mismatched and they’re not in their correct forums.

Usually bbPress’s repair tools fail to correct the mismatch.

Does anyone here have any guidance for me?

Hey there,
after having recently started with bbpress 2.5.4 and WP 4.1, I ran into a “404” problem after having created forum and topic as per the step-by-step directive (using method #2 with shortcode).
Right from the start, a “404” appeared when startgin from the forum index page (the one with the shortcode). I spent the last 40 hrs reading and trying the various proposed fixes, none worked.
However, deactivating the installed plugins and trying did point to WooCommerce Multilingual
being the culprit, since the forums, subforums, categories, topics work fine when WC Mutlilingual is deactivated. If WC ML is activated, the same URL (using “postname”) is crashing to a “404”.

I somebody has run into similar problem and/or a diagnosis on what the reason is-
or even better can provide the magic fix, please step up and collect the praise… I myself m at the very end of my wits and carry a dangerous 1/8 knowledge about what I am doing…

Cheers,
O.

Hi

This is my third time trying to post here hopefully it sticks this time.

I am trying to add some custom roles to the bbpress forums and I have followed the Custom Capabilities codex page.

It doesn’t appear to be working as intended though as I cannot give myself the owner role

I would like these roles in bbpress to sync with some custom wp roles made with the members plugin.

sorry for the wall of text below but its an effort to get this topic posted (i had links in the previous topics)

here is what i have in my child themes functions.php

// add bbPress Roles********************************************
