bbPress.org

Hello. I’m a newbie, set up a WP 3.5.1/Buddypress 1.7.2/bbPress 2.3.2 site with group forums enabled. I’m not sure if what I’m running into is an issue or if it’s by design. I have a user with a participant forum role. In a group wherein this user is a member, the user can create topics, post replies. However, in a group wherein this user is NOT a member, the user is unable to create topics, post replies. Is this by design? I even changed the user’s forum role to moderator and the user is still unable to create topics/post replies in a group it’s not a member of.

If this is by design, is there a way to get around it and allow non-members to at least post replies in groups they are not members of?

Thank you!

Installing bp 1.7 and bbpress at maoutdoors.com, I’ve encountered a problem that I cannot resolve: Forums index and two subforums have been created with one sample topic. The menu links display all of the noted fine; however, the links from the index page do not provide the appropriate connection. I just can’t figure out how one route can be OK and the other not.

Thanks for your help.

I have my sidebar nearly complete. I set up a custom menu called Links, added a link to that menu and saved it. I put the widget it my sidebar. But the link is not there nor do I see where to add links. The menu is under Top Menu but elsewhere the menu it is under is Links.

I’m thinking I need to create a Links WIDGET not MENU. So, if that’s right, how do I create a widget or can I edit one not used, like Calendar?

Hi All,

I have a small forum which has some private groups (which are used for classes) and a hidden group for the administration team which runs the website.. the RSS is showing everything we post on the forum, public, private AND hidden. I can’t have that happen because the thrashings between team members (and there are a couple) are showing on the facebook page and widget, from the RSS… which is not good. It’s supposed to be a private place for everyone to put aside their differences and move along. But now everyone can see it.

I’m trying to find a way around it since the RSS was such a great feature and really helps increase my traffic from my facebook page..

Any ideas anyone?

Arf! Arf!(Howdy! Howdy!),

I just move my content to a Bootstrap based WordPress Theme (Customizr) that so far I like alot. I’ve never used bbPress before, and don’t quite understand it’s integration with the usage of Pages. Particularly Full Width vs Sidebar usage.

Here’s a link to my site: Toolbox-4-Websites

I installed the bbPress Plugin into my WordPress 3.6 beta 3 installation.
I then created a new page titled “Forums” with a right sidebar.
I drag & dropped that page into my Primary Navigation Menu.
I created two Forum categories and dropped them beneath my “Forums” menu page.
I dragged all of the bbPress Widgets into my Theme’s right sidebar.

Here’s the problem:

When I click on a Forum category, it opens up in a Full Page format missing the sidebar.
The viewers never get to see the 7 widgets.
I also notice that when I’m in the Admin panel, I’m given the option to edit the Forum, but NOT THE PAGE itself. Is this a bbPress issue, OR an issue with my theme?

The Customizr Theme is intentionally designed to NOT allow the first Primary Menu Title to open as a page…only what’s beneath each title. Could the developer’s choice of that option be hindering my ability to edit each page beneath the main menu titles?
(I thought I would contact bbPress first, before I contacted the theme’s Developer).

I often can’t login on this domain because the login button redirects to the /forums/ page.

When i’am on the homepage of bbPress.org it shows i’m logged in , I can see my avatar the the right corner but when I click to view the forums it says i’m logged-out. Trying to login doesn’t work because of the redirect.

Please fix it, It’s frustrated when you’re trying to help people but can’t post on the forums.

Can someone explain the difference between BuddyPress site-wide forums (bbPress), and if you installed bbPress first and THEN installed BuddyPress?

Here’s my quandary: I want to use the voting-widget plugin. But they only support BuddyPress bbPress site-wide forums. The plugin won’t work, because I installed bbPress first THEN BuddyPress.

I have over 5,000 posts and almost 1,000 users. I’m sure this is a database issue.

If anyone has any suggestions to get these two to work more harmoniously without losing that data, that would be just awesome.

When I change a group from public to hidden, the related forum topics still populate the forum index for non-group members. However, clicking on the group link results in “page not found.”

Question: is this a bug inherent to bbPress (i did notice that the recent update mentioned something about hidden groups in the change log)?

or

Could this be something wrong with my forum database. I did recent just convert over to bbPress from default BuddyPress forums. I thought everything went smoothly, but I could be wrong.

WP 3.5.1, bbPress 2.3.1
Suffusion 4.4.6 theme with bbPress plugin and child theme support

My site has a long-established definition of “participant,” so it will be confusing to use the same term for the forums.

Is there a way to change the default role to “member”?

Many thanks for your help, Anna

Is there a plugin that will totally close off my bbpress forum? If users are logged out they will only be able to access a login page/register page, and nothing more.
