Hello,

I just noticed that when a friend request is sent it says:

Your Friend Request sent sucessfully , after accept your request, you can view added friend in your friend list!

Does this make sense? How can I fix this?

I think it’s missing a couple words. It should be ” after they accept your request, you can view your added friend in your friend list! ”

Thank you!

Hi guys,

Firstly my site is www.whichinvestmenttrust.com
I have the latest version of both WordPress & BBPress.

I have set up BBPress on my website but it’s not quite right. I haven’t set it up in a way that is good enough and I need to do more.
I have spent the last hour reading through forums on this site but I can’t find the answers to my questions and problems. Granted I am probably a bit thick, I’m certainly nowhere near as smart as some of you guys on here, judging from the responses I’ve read in other comments.
So what is wrong with my set up? Well the forum is separate from posts. Users or members can also comment in posts and the comment function comes from Jetpack. The Jetpack comments doesn’t show up on the BBPress forum member activity and I don’t even get notification of comments, I just find them if I’m lucky.
It is obviously silly to have two systems and I need to switch off the Jetpack comment feature but I don’t know what BBPress add-on or Pluggin I should use. Can you help?
Also, I think I’d like people to have the option of registering with their social media login (Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn), is that possible?
I have a BBPress Member login Widget which handily goes in a sidebar but it doesn’t allow users to register instead of logging in and I kind of think it should because they usually do. Is there a solution to this?
Lastly, I think I should have a separate page on my WordPress site for Forums. That just makes sense to me, is this feasible?
I know I’ve raised too many points here I think. If you have any suggestions on any of them, doenst need to be all I’d very gratefully love to read them.
To recap my queries are:
– BBPress Pluggin for posts to replace Jetpack
– Social Media Login – Is this possible?
– BBPress Member login widget – can it include register?
– Forum Page – Can I set one up?
If you have suggestion for any of these issues, doesn’t have to be all of them I’d love to get your feedback.
Many thanks, Dice

I have a bbPress 2.3.2 plugin installed which has recently stopped posting. You can browse the forum without problems but when posting, the browser goes white on /new-topic after pressing submit.

Any idea what the problem could be? It’s been like this for a few days and is driving me nuts.

My forum is at http://www.chengduliving.com/forum/ thanks in advance for any guidance!

I know this not necessarily is a bbPress-bug but it is closely tied to bbPress so I’ll post it here first, hoping that you have got an idea on how to debug / fix it.

>> WHAT IS HAPPENING?

My users get locked out of single topics after they access the link to their subscribed topic (“Notify me of follow-up replies via email”). I use a plugin called “bbPress Custom Reply Notifications” in order to easily modify the email’s output and thought of this one to cause the issue but I had to rule it out…

But from the start:

>> SYSTEM SPECS / INFO

Base_
// WP 3.5.2
// bbPress 2.3.2

The site in question is a membership-site which uses a membership-plugin in order to make our content accessable only after payment. We incorporated bbPress there and things are going OK (although the usage it is not offically supported by the membership-plugin’s authors – but that doesn’t say much). I use a plugin named “Theme My Login” in order to style the account-pages. We us OptimizePress as template.

Membership_
// WishList Member 2.7.1
// Theme My Login 6.2.3
// Optimize Press 1.5a (German version)

Although I am listing “Theme My Login” f.ex., I think this most likely has to do with the membership-plugin & bbPress.

>> THE BUG

The issue only happens with singular users & singular topics (= the other topics and forums are functioning as intended). We have had numerous complaints so this ain’t due to a certain system-environment. How it happens:

– User A creates topic X, sets subscription via mail to “on”
– User B replies
– User A gets an email saying “User B replied to your post, go see it here: “http://mysite.info/thema/neuer-post-ohne/#post-5812”
– User A (state: not logged-in (!) // works when already logged-in…) clicks on link
– link “http://mysite.info/thema/neuer-post-ohne/#post-5812” shows “you are not allowed to view this” (because User isn’t logged in yet)
– User A clicks on “login”, enters credentials, gets redirected to our default start-page (weak Usability, I know…)
– User A then navigates to the forum where he/she got the reply

— ERROR —
“you are not allowed to view this” (but user is logged in!)

>> WHAT I HAVE DONE SO FAR

– emptied the cache(s) (W3 Total Cache in use)
– deleted all the site’s cookies (problem persists!)
– (double-)checked the permission-settings fot the topic with the membership-plugin

>> HOW YOU CAN HELP

Maybe you have got an idea on how to fix / debug this – any help is greatly appreciated. I can provide to test-accounts within our development-system so you can check it out for yourself.

Again – thanks a lot & I am hoping for some insights on how to tackle this.
Regards!

Hi,

Is there any way to link forums to my WP categories? I want to somehow list out the forums on my sites category pages?

Thanks in advance

This just started happening today: when replying in Home page of forums, the reply field disappears as you type along. If you click on reply again, the text is still there and you can keep typing, but every 10 seconds or so, it disappears again. A pain… I thought it might have to do with the throttle function, but after looking through posts here, it seems to be a different issue.

Is there a setting that determines how long someone takes to answer something? I have the edit setting set to something like 20 minutes.

Using BuddyPress 1.8 and bbPress 2.3.2 I need to know how to keep Forum Titles in sync with the BuddyPress group names. Occasionally my BuddyPress group names need to be changed/edited/corrected. I’ve tried the Tools > Forums > and hit the Repair Items button after checking the boxes for:

• Recalculate the parent topic for each post
• Recalculate the parent forum for each post
• Recalculate private and hidden forums
• Repair BuddyPress Group Forum relationships

However, none of these repairs have synchronised the Forum Title with the BuddyPress group name.

Here’s a screenshot to make it clearer.

Any ideas what I can do, greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Vernon

Hello,

When I click favorite or subscribe button in bbpress, it doesn’t work with showing “undefined”

But, when I click these buttons by right click “open new windows” then it works.

you can test it in this website http://romentor.com/topics/test1/

thanks you very much.

Hi,

I am having a problem with bbpress forums and buddypress groups. I have activated bbpress and buddypress on a sub-site on my sub-domain (http://community.example.com). In bbpress settings, I selected the checkbox “Allow BuddyPress Groups to have their own forums”. Now in buddypress when I am creating a group, in step 3, I should be able to select a checkbox (Yes, I want this group to have a forum.) to enable forum feature for my group, but for some reason the checkbox is not showing up and I cannot proceed by clicking “Next Step” button. I am using the latest version of BP (1.8), bbpress 2.3.2 and WP 3.5.2. The same setting works just fine on my local XAMPP but it doesn’t work on production server.

Here are some screenshots, this is how step 3 looks now: https://i.imgur.com/sT8jRv9.jpg

And this is how it should be (local is fine): https://i.imgur.com/6mKn4uE.jpg

After this error, when I click on my groups, I can see the group is created with no avatar (because I never got to step 4) and when I click on the group and go to Admin > Forum > Now I see the check box but when I enable it and then select one of my forums from the dropdown and click save, I get this error “Are you sure you want to do this? Please try again.”

When I check my error_log file, I get this error:

[28-Jul-2013 22:51:11] PHP Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/group.php on line 461

I followed these instructions step by step to create a sitewide forum and forum for my buddypress groups: https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

Does anyone have the same issue with buddypress?

Thanks
