bbPress.org

I currently no longer have options for editing, trashing, spamming, etc any topics or replies on the forum. I also have one topic that somehow moved to the trash bin in the bbpress. When I click topics, I see the topic, but it won’t let me select it to restore it.

Any ideas why this could be happening?

I have user role editor enabled, but disabling it or giving admin all the ability in the world still doesn’t let me edit or delete or restore anything.

is it possible to make bbpress look & work like a traditional forum with plugins?

with the easy to read/find threads, read/unread posts, polls, moderation features, Reputation, rating, User Promotionsposition (admin, mod, ext) Warning System, ext.

I’ve hit an impasse with this plugin. How can users sign up and log in without using the sign up widget? The widget doesn’t work with the theme of my site, and I would like to have the sign up/ log in options in the content area of the page. Does anybody know how to do this?

Thanks.

Hi, I’m somewhat new to WP and for sure bbpress. I installed bbpress. Went to activate and then all the white screens. Can’t get into admin panel unless I remove the bbpress dir.
Any ideas ?

WP 3.5.1 and BBP 2.2.4 www.gumpolen.com

I would like, if possible, to have a widget on the left of my homepage for a support forum (topics of navigating my site, registering an account, creating a site, etc.), and on the right of my homepage a widget for public forums where anyone can join in and communicate. I don’t want these two forums to be connected with each other in any way.

Do I accomplish this with Category or Forum? I’ve been trying several things, and I’m not getting the hang of it yet. Any bit of help would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Best,

Kevin

After having battled with this problem for a long time, I finally found out, why only keymaster users could upload images to their replies with the new media manager.

The problem is not bbPress’ fault, but rather due to a shortcoming in the WP_Editor.

When a front end editor is inserted on a page using the wp_editor() function, and media buttons are enabled, the media buttons will be automatically set up to attach the images being uploaded to the current global post object.

This is a problem, because the current global post on a forum topic page is the topic. So if the user replying to the topic (and trying to upload images) is not the topic starter, a permissions problem will arise.

The user will then in fact be attempting to attach media to the topic, which is owned by someone else. This will result in an error, unless the user has the “edit_others_topics” permission set to true.

So, what to do? Here’s my temporary solution, until this hopefully gets addressed in the future:

Because the core function that takes the post id from the current global post can’t be hooked directly into, I decided to hook in before and after it, to first change the global post id to null, and then change it back afterwards, so any logic that follows the WP_editor will not get disturbed.

This will, however, cause the uploaded image to not be attached to any post. But it doesn’t have to be. The image will be inserted into the forum reply html, regardless of which post it is attached to in the DB.

add_action('media_buttons', 'ml_pre_media_buttons', 1);
add_action('media_buttons', 'ml_post_media_buttons', 20);
function ml_pre_media_buttons($editor_id) {
    if (!$editor_id == 'bbp_reply_content')
        return;

    $GLOBALS['post_temp'] = $GLOBALS['post'];
    $GLOBALS['post'] = null;
}
function ml_post_media_buttons($editor_id) {
    if (!$editor_id == 'bbp_reply_content')
        return;

    $GLOBALS['post'] = $GLOBALS['post_temp'];
}

I created this issue on the WP support forums:

Hi Stephen–
I’m taking you up on your invite to talk about phpBB imports.
In advance of upgrading a client’s site from (very VERY outdated WP and phpBB) I created a sandbox with WP 3.5.1 and phpBB 3.
There’s not a whole lot here, as I’m just using it to find the best way to integrate the bulletin board w/ the WP site, so the BB can be access-controlled for paid members.
Site: sdocplayground.com/wordpress
Imported forum: http://sdocplayground.com/wordpress/index.php/forums/
bbPress v 2.3 beta 2
Theme = twenty twelve
The phpBB install has about 1400 users and at least 50K posts and was created in mid-2004. My client wants to keep *everything*.

Here’s what happens when I run the import:
Default settings are left alone (pause after 100 lines, 1 second between, etc
All users are imported seamlessly.
When the import process gets to “calculating board hierarchy”, it hangs. I let the import run for an hour then check the results in the “forum” admin tab.
It appears that all of the posts have been imported. (The numbers in each of the categories is right.) But when you try to visit any of the forums/categories, they’re empty.
So then I run the “repair” functions one by one. Now it seems that most of the posts are gone and the most recent are from 2004. (Most recent should be from 11/2012). Some posts are visible but there are no responses where they should be.

Am I missing a step, or is some setting not correct, or is the beta version of the plugin just not doing what I need it to do? I would love to have all of my site’s content in one interface but I can’t find where the content goes. What am I missing?

Hello. I was reviewing free php forums and came upon bbPress. I have had great experiences with WordPress, so the idea of a “wordpressy” forum got me.

However, I just want to know from you guys is it good? If I understand correctly bbPress is quite new, so can you say it can compete with, say, phpBB?

Also, I am planning to integrate a LOT of features for my forum, as I am aiming to make a roleplaying forum, with characters, and weapons and all that jazz. Would bbPress make it easy for me to do those? For any of you have created plugins for bbPress, how developer-friendly do you think it is?

Here I am, hoping for your replies. Thank you.

A few quick questions

How can I remove my widgets and sidebar from just my forum page. Also, how can I remove the comment section on my forum page.

What is the bbPress sidebar. I put some bbPress widgets in it but I did not see any changes.

Lastly, how can I display the bbPress Login Widget (that allows people to register, login, and find lost password) on only my forum page.

All input is appreciated.

When the user presses “Submit” and something was wrong with the post (let’s say the email was invalid or whatever), all of the post data is lost! This seems like a serious bug or oversight… any way of avoiding this?
