Important Upgrade Notice: Version 2.0.0 only for bbPress 2.3 or higher!

Download the plugin from here: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-search-widget/

Version 2.0.0 of this plugin was released recently, and it has the requirement of bbPress 2.3 or higher in order to work! That’s because bbPress 2.3+ comes with built-in search functionality.

My plugin now builds on top of that and this brings the end to theme & template issues for the search results, finally!
The plugin’s widget is now like an extended version of the regular search widget – you get up to 13 options for the widget and/ or search form – which are really cool, not only for support forums 🙂

Also, now there’s an additional SHORTCODE with a bbPress search form! You can add this Shortcode anywhere Shortcodes are supported. See FAQ for parameters and usage examples.

Further, a new feature I am really, really proud of, is a new Widgetized Content Area for “Not found” forum search results. This means you are not shown this lame & tiny “Oh bother…” message any longer but can customize this whole page via widgets! How cool is that? — This is optional! If this additional widget area has active widgets placed in it then it shows them on the frontend, if the area is empty, bbPress default behavior is displayd.

I hope you like the refactoring and the new features.

If you didn’t upgraded yet to bbPress 2.3+ you really should consider it’s worth it!

Thank you all users for using my plugin, for testing it, for all feedback! You guys rock!

I recently (on Monday) installed bbpress, and activated it. Right after activating it i got kicked out of my site. I can log in but i get the “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page” message. I logged in with my 2 admin accounts and still couldn’t get to the dashboard area. I deleted the plugin folder for bbpress through ftp but that didn’t do anything ( a note on this, when i go into phpmyadmin i still see entries referring to bbpress. like in with usermeta/wp_capabilites)
I have tried a number of things listed both here and on wordpress but nothing worked.
Does anyone have an idea as to how i can fix this. Please keep in mind i am not a programmer, but any help is greatly appreciated.
Wordpress 3.5.1
bbPress 2.3.1

Dear smart guys,
I was a happy user of Buddypress with group forum. Recently, something miserable happened and Buddypress discontinued Group Forum which was working fine. Now i have to use this bbpress. It’s okay if it was working. After installed the bbpress plugin, now my forum is a blank page with Edit Post link. I can open forum topic from groups but when i click on Forums link from dashboard, it shows me the blank page. How to see the group forum back? It’s horrible experience. Something great stopped working makes me very disappointed. Could it be my mistake? Any hint will be so much appreciated. Some questions related to this problem seem unanswered. So i’m preparing myself not to get any reply.

Thank you from a desperate dude

i am having a problem with the automatically generated links that are suppose to bring you back to the above level pages. when i go into a forum you see the drill down location twice. Once on the line before the forum name and once on the line after the forum name. The first occurrence has the word “forum” in between the the home link and current forum and tries to go to http://www.lbpunderground.com/forums/forum/ were you encounter 404 error. the second version with forums works and leads to http://www.lbpunderground.com/forums/ as it should.
below is example of structure of how it is showing up with some comments added:

Home › Forum › first (“forum” here leads to broken page 404)
first (forum title)
Home › Forums › first (“forums” leads to the correct forum directory)

here is the page the above is taken from: http://www.lbpunderground.com/forums/forum/first/

another similar problem is when you go down into a topic the first line. now has “Topic” as the location between home and the current location on the first line. Again on the 3rd line the the drill down location is correct and functional. In the first line the link “Topic” leads to error 404 also.

Home › Topic › another test (topic leads to 404 error)
another test (topic title)
Home › Forums › category 1 › cat1 forum1 › another test (working drill down links)

the above example is taken from the page: http://www.lbpunderground.com/forums/topic/another-test/

ideally i would like help to remove the first set of links, as their logic is not as ideal as the second set even if they are working properly. Or just a solution to fix them to work properly. But really i am not sure why the first set is there.

here is a description of my setup:
wordpress: Version 3.5.1
bbpress: Version 2.3.1
buddypress: Version 1.7.1
wordpress theme: responsive

I’m using WordPress 3.5.1 and bbPress 2.3.1. My site is here (forums are restricted but I created one sample one that isn’t):

http://www.redkitecreative.com/dev/ivas/forums/forum/sample-forum-for-checking-fancy-editor/

I have ‘Use the fancy WordPress editor to create and edit topics and replies’ enabled, but the fancy editor never appears, not even for logged-in site admins. I tested it with three user levels. I tried switching to Twenty Twelve but it made no difference.

I’m using TinyMCE Advanced on this site, I tried disabling it but the fancy editor is still not appearing. Please help.

Hi, so this is a silly question, probably simple to do, but I can’t get the @username to show below the users avatar/information, is there an option for this?

Hey guys i need a little help with the recent topics widget.

I am adding the parennt ID of my website forum which is 61 into the widget settings but when i press the save button it changes back to ‘any’ again

I only ask as at the moment my group forum posts are also coming through on the widget but i would like them to stay within the groups and not broadcast to users who are not part of that group.

Anybody else having this problem and do you have a solution?

Thanks!

I’ve noticed that when you try and place a break between sentences/paragraphs, it renders fine in the editor, but when you post, the text becomes smashed. Is there a way to ensure an extra line is actually rendered with the output?

Hello

I’m migrating from ning and to save my data I have to use an importer that only works with old versions. I am working with buddypress 1.2.10 to import my forums.

Once I finish the import process, how can I migrate my buddypress group forums to bbpress sitewide in bbpress 2.3?

I have found info about how to migrate from buddypress legacy groups to the new buddypress groups powered by bbpress, but not to sitewide forums!

There is any way?

Thanks

Is this a known issue? It shows up fine when pasted into the Editor, but once published, it just displays raw HTML.
