bbPress.org

Hello, I’m building a website with forums at . However, I’m having trouble understanding why it looks the way it does? I thought it would look like you know, an actual forum with the various forums and sub-forums in a “tree-like” format etc. I’m confused as to how to make it look an operate that way instead of the way it is currently with this weird “archive” format. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Btw, I just created the page with the default “forums” slug and I’ve tried the shortcode too with same results – I just have no idea why it looks the way it does.

Hey there,

I have set up the bbpress plugin for wordpress, so far everything worked as it should, only one thing didnt work: the username and his/hers profile pic are not aligned. How can i fix this?

Thanks alot!!!

From few days (well, its been months), the bbPress menus (Forums, Topics, Replies) aren’t showing up in the wp-admin menubar. I’ve disabled all plugins and activated the twentytwelve theme, problem still remains. It’s only happening on that installation. Didn’t find any clue, what might happen. Any ideas?

Also, visiting to http://example.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum page displays “Cheating?” message. Seems like a permission issue, but I am administrator.

Hi,

I set up a new site with buddypress, bbpress and some other plugins.

I did not change the user capabilities for the subscribers.

My Problem is that users can use the “edit this page” link that is placed at the bottom of a page that contains a topic (and the viewing user is author of this topic) that leads the user to the backend (/wp-admin/post.php?post=83716&action=edit for example).
There the user is able to change the published date, the status (sticky, ..) of the topic, the text etc.

I think this is not normal… Subscibers should not be able to access the backend and to change published topics…

My subscribers do not have any edit_posts capabilities. They have just “level 0” and “read” as capability shown in the user role editor.

Is there a problem known that might depend on one of the modules that is installed at my site?

How can I get users not to be able to edit their topics?

I use the following modules:
akismet
bbpress-stay-checked
buddypress
buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type
events-manager
user-role-editor
bbpress
bp-force-profile
buddypress-activity-plus
cd-bp-avatar-bubble
gd-bbpress-tools
regenerate-thumbnails
view-own-posts-media-only
bbpress-post-toolbar
bp-profile-search
buddypress-media
easy-wp-smtp
tdlc-birthdays
wp-ffpc
bbpress-simple-advert-units
buddymobile
buddypress-recaptcha
erident-custom-login-and-dashboard
nextend-facebook-connect
ultimate-tinymce
wp-hide-dashboard

Thanks for your help!

I am using WordPress 3.6, bbPress 2.3.2 on www.hphe.net

On the bbpress forums pages, when I try to view so-and-so’s profile, it is not displaying properly…it’s all squashed to the left side and impossible to read. I am extremely new to any type of coding. I went with WordPress to avoid having to know a lot of coding.

I appreciate any help!

(I thought I posted yesterday but don’t see it under my profile. If duplicate, mods know what to do)

WP 3.5.1 with bbPress. Click topic in one forum (I.e. domain.com/general/topic) and it shows 11 posts with 10 per page. Click page 2 and it brings you to a new forum and topic.

Yesterday I tested and it brought me not to the 11th post but another forum and topic (domain.com /sports/twins). Just checked now and it brings up a different forum and topic than yesterday.

I need to know how to fix this. I’m thinking a temp fix is to allow 20 topics per page as the site is new. I’m just hoping I can do that.

But I need a perm fix so it stays on topic.

(The site is for mature folks so I can give our leader, Justin, the URL but won’t post it).

I have a wordpress site and a bbpress forum. I have found hundreds of posts that are appearing from users that are not registered. I don’t know how they are posting content to my forum or if they have set up something under my domain. My forum has a template through suffusion and looks nothing like the forum that has all the posts. Our website is: http://allinclusivevacationandtravel.com We have a limited amount of posts and no registered users except for me.

There are 130 pages of posts here under our domain: http://allinclusivevacationandtravel.com/forum/

Can someone please help me figure this out?

Ive had a search through the forums here and cant find an answer to my question, i have just installed bbpress and it integrates perfectly into my current wordpress installation. I notice whenever a post is made in bbpress the authors ip address is logged and is visible to the administrator. I would like to disable this and set it so that no ip addresses are stored at all.

From what i can tell the ip’s seem to be stored in the following db field:

wp_postmeta/meta_value

I have a function i found online for wordpress which prevents the ip from being logged:

add_filter('pre_comment_user_ip', 'no_ips');
function no_ips($comment_author_ip){
  return '';
}

Can the above be converted for use with bbpress?

Any advice would be appreciated 🙂

Hey guys –

On my site (itinerantangler.com) I have a longstanding Real Names Policy. As a result almost all of my users have their actual first and last names displayed as their Display Names.

If I go into an individual user’s profile I can edit the ‘Display Name’ by hitting a drop down box. This gives a bunch of options; lower case, last-name-first, etc. The one I would like for everyone to use is the regular old ‘First Last’ setting with capitals for their first and last names.

Unfortunately the board software defaulted to lower case ‘first last’ when I transferred in from some other software.

Is there a way to bulk change all my users’ drop-down boxes to the ‘First Last’ setting as a default?

Thanks,
Zach

Hello,
I am having issues getting the BBpress forum to display in any sensible manner
At one point i made a category and used it as a page, this at least looked reasonable but didn’t allow for sections to be created. I am currently using the shortcode “

” and now the catagoriess seems to show the sub forums. but they are all bunched together with a (0,0) next to each of them
Is there a way to split this up or create a proper forum layout?
my forum page: http://watracing.com/?page_id=132

I am new to BBpress
