Hi there,

I am trying to add a search form in the forum’s topics (sub forums) and I would like to hear your opinion on that issue.
bbPress has built in search form, which is unfortunately available only on the main forums list.
I would like to have that search on the sub forums as well at let my users search the forums when they are browsing the topics.

Any idea how to achieve this?
WP v. 3.9.2
bbPress v. 2.5.3

Hello –

I am running WP 4.0 and bbPress Version 2.5.4.

I can make a forum, but I do not see an area to search within the forum.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

I decided to uninstall BuddyPress because it was too damn complicated to understand for a 68 year young non-geek!

So I have installed your latest version which said it was compatible with my version of WP which has the latest updates.

If you visit SpyCraftU you will see NO pages for the forum I have set up or the topics under it. So how do I set up a Members page for the forum so people can register?

I sure as hell hope that bbPress is easier than BuddyPress which looks like a NIGHTMARE to make work!

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’ve seen several questions kind of like this one but not exactly, so forgive me if it’s been answered and I’ve missed it!

WordPress 4.0, bbPress 2.5.4.

What I need is a forum that only a specific group of people (several hundred, increasing annually) can view and use. Because of the numbers involved it’s not practical to manually add them to an allowed list for the forum.

Solution idea 1:
A Forum page which shows you just a Login form, plus a Sign Up form. The Sign Up form has an additional field for a specific code, which we will distribute to our members via a Mailchimp list.

Solution idea 2:
The Sign Up form automatically cross-references with the Mailchimp list, so that only people who are already on the list are able to sign up for the forum.

Your help enormously appreciated!

Hi there,
I’ve realised that the posts within my forums are shown upside-down, showing the first in the row the newest post, breaking the chronology (the newest must appear at the bottom).
Don’t know why this has changed… do you know where can I reverse the order?

Thanks!

Hi

I am having quite a strange problem with a test site leading to a re-direction to what appears to be the front page [In firefox, up the browser in page title section, you see “Posts – Site Name”], considering the content, if I try to go to the recommended & set abc/forums main page. Furthermore, if I try to VIEW any created, “published” forum, I get a page not found error.

This site is in a folder /abc. The site in the root folder has no problem with accessing site-in-rootfolder.com/forums. So i assume it is not a server-settings issue.

Other plugins, including 2 or so requiring “post name” permalink settings have no problem with the link settings, except one, “RecipePress reloaded”, whose author also recommends “post name” permalinks. With this, one should be able to access the main recipe page at mysite.com/abc/recipes. Instead, like in the bbforum case, although the url appears correctly, the content is clearly that of the blog front page!
Resetting the permalinks, like he recommends, changes nothing.
After explaining the problem to him, he said it was a bug in the plugin & the code he gave me to try out, partly corrected the problem, because mysite.com/abc/recipes this time correctly showed the main recipes page. The only problem is, it seems to affect other links leading to page not found errors until I either remove the code or disable the recipe plugin.
That code was just for testing, so I guess he is going to improve on it.

Since the bbforum plugin (& this recipepress reloaded), unlike ALL other plugins which are all OK & their respective content can be found in its rightful place, I guess there is an issue also with bbforum.

I have tried to unistall & re-install bbforum/buddy press, deactivated the rest of the plugins, etc to no avail.
This is the .htaccess I have, or get whenever I reset the permalinks:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /abc/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /abc/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

For buddypress, the links to members, groups, etc are all OK.

I hope with the description of the problem, the source of & solution to the issue can be identified & suggested.

I am using the latest version of WordPress & all modules.
Same problem when using twentythirteen theme.

PS: in case a helper finds the conditions on site different from those described, it might be code from the author of recipress reloaded plugin, which has a similar issue is being tested or implemented.

Thank you in advance.

In author page everybody can comment,author can’t del this comment.

Hey guys,

Sry if the title is confusing. What i mean is that when i click on a specific forum it shows all of the topics in the entire forum, instead of just showing the topics of the clicked on forum.

here’s my site. ull see what i mean wen u click on a specific forum – http://loser2winner.com/forums/

is there any setting or code to fix this problem?

please help!

I was using a standalone bbpress for many years, but the latest WordPress update did something to mess up cookie integration. The writing was on the wall for my old standalone forum, I decided to move forward and upgrade and migrate.

A sleepless week later, it is done.

First, it imported all posts, even years-old spam, so I deleted that migration and figured out how to really delete spam in the standalone, and then imported again.

Then I found out that tags were not integrated, rather if tags were in the forum, they simply deleted any tags or custom taxonomies with the same name in the wordpress install. The site relies heavily on these tags, so we we spent a few days re-tagging everything and re-checking.

Now this morning I see that one entire category of the wp install was deleted. Luckily it was not a heavily trafficked section of the site. At this point we’ve put days of work into this data, so rather than roll back, we’ll recreate that category.

bbpress has given our site community many things over the years, I can’t complain at all. But the new version is much slower than the standalone version, and much harder for us to edit and modify. My viewers actually have a diminished experience now.

The tide has turned over the years. While WordPress fumbled with bbpress and buddypress, Facebook came to the fore and basically sucked all the community out of the wp platform. It’s a shame, and not likely to turn around for any of us here. I applaud the hard work of the devs who worked on this platform over the years, but it has been an exhausting experience this last week, and I am not done yet. It will be another sleepless night.

Hello, our company is on a google apps domain. While I prefer gmail, most of my co-workers prefer outlook.

I hadn’t noticed this while putting the site together, however, it appears that email notifications don’t seem to appear as links by default in outlook 2010 or 2013 the URLs just appear as plain text. I figured it was something I could probably fix so I started looking around. I stumbled on this in includes/common/functions.php

	// Strip tags from text and setup mail data
	$topic_title   = strip_tags( bbp_get_topic_title( $topic_id ) );
	$reply_content = strip_tags( bbp_get_reply_content( $reply_id ) );
	$reply_url     = bbp_get_reply_url( $reply_id );
	$blog_name     = wp_specialchars_decode( get_option( 'blogname' ), ENT_QUOTES );
	$do_not_reply  = '<noreply@' . ltrim( get_home_url(), '^(http|https)://' ) . '>';

	// For plugins to filter messages per reply/topic/user
	$message = sprintf( __( '%1$s wrote:

%2$s

Post Link: %3$s

		$reply_author_name,

		$reply_url
	);

if I’m reading this correctly, it does indeed simply output the string of the URL. What would be the best way to go about making sure this is recognized in outlook as a link?

Thank you in advance for your help.
