Dear Support-Team!

I use WP 3.5.1 with BP 1.6.5 and bbPress 2.2.4

I just started the Forum integration with WP and BP – everything works fine. Coming to my issue.

1. I tested a user, registered in WP/BP as subscriber. I think this is standard. The same user gets the role for bbPress as participant. That’s standard too.

2. My test user started in BP a hidden group, so he’s the admin of this group. He activated the bbPress forum function for his own hidden group. Although he’s the admin of the BP group he cannot start writing any forum article because he hasn’t the rights for it. It’s only allowed to answer to articles other user made.

My suggestion is. That groups with its own forum, started by one person as admin, should have just the rights for this area. I see that bbPress rights are given for all forums in BP. But this isn’t fine because user should act more locally in their groups.

Note:
If I start a group as admin in Facebook maybe, I’ve just control over this group and not over all other Facebook groups (explanation just for a better understanding).

Is there any way to change this?

Thank you for support

Best Regards,
Thorsten

It seems the focus on member roles has taken away from the structure of the forums made with bbpress.  It would make sense to me to develop forum structure and information availability.

This could be accomplished by having the ability to create a forum and lock the locations of topics.  By code and visually as they appear on the site.

I think limiting ability to make topics or replies for each each individual post when created by admin, would develop forum content more efficiently than limiting abilities for individual users.

In other words.  Rather than limiting abilities by access level.  Is there currently a way to lock forums and topics the way they are?

In other words.  When I develop the forum as an administrator, can I limit the ability of all users to contribute to those posts?

I think a more even balance can be achieved, between content contributed by admin, and relevant information contributed by users, if the admin can limit users ability to alter the structure of the forum.

I switched from phpBB to bbPress recently thanks very much in part to a script found in these forums.

Now, many of the existing posts contain links to each other in the old phpBB format /topic.php?t=123. Since the topic IDs have stayed the same in the conversion process, I’d like to use ModRewrite to automatically redirect to the new /topic/123 URL scheme. I’ve tried the following in my .htaccess, but it doesn’t appear to work. (Admittedly, my knowledge of ModRewrite is shaky at best.)

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/forums/viewtopic.php?t=([0-9]+)$
/forums/topic/$1 [R]

(In the real code there isn’t a linebreak on the second line.)

Does anyone have any advice?

I allow the BuddyPress groups on my WordPress to create forums however for every group that gets created I get another forum added to my bbPress page (mydomain.com/forums/).

How do I hide the forums from individual groups on the main forums page?

Note: all these forums are children of a “Group Forum” category.

Thank you!

Hi,

I simply want to use shortcodes to keep the forum on my page. I can get the the index to show up and it seems to work fine, but the breadcrumbs link back to /forums, not to my page. I’ve been looking around and I see where other people have been having the same problem yet there does not seem to be any solutions. I will continue looking I guess. If anyone knows of a solution I would love to hear it. I just don’t get why this is even a problem. Why not just use shortcodes rather than those hardcodes paths in the settings? One thing I am considering is adding a redirect from /forums to my page with the shortcode…. but then I keep thinking, why should I even have to do this? Any way, if there is a solution out there I would love to know about it.

Regards

Jarrod

Hello,

I want to sort the bbPress index page, to have the newest forums at the top at and the oldest at the bottom??

I have just installed BBpress 2.2.4 into WordPress 3.5.1

I have a login widget on my sidebar.
In this widget there is a field for a URL that will take new (unregistered) users to a registration page.
What is this URL? If it is specific to my site, how do I create/define it?
