Hi
New to Buddypress/Bbpress and trying to test it on a localhost installation
I have all the latests versions and the installation seemed to work smoothly
I have enabled both group forums and site wide forums (even though my problem is consistant even when disabling the group forums)
The problem:
I’be opened several forums from the admin panel but can’t find them on the site!
when I get on my Forums page (http://localhost:29138/forums/) I reach to a “Forums Directory” page with an ability to add new topic, and a list of topics (from the groups forums!?) but no track to the list of my desired site-wide forums.
I tried to edit the forums page and insert the forum index shortcode but it had no effect
any help would be appreciated
Users cannot see topics unless they are logged in.
I have tried allowing guests to post, but that doesn’t remove the issue.
Any suggestions where to look? Anyone run into this?

I´ve been using BBPress since 2009. And I remember having many discussions here about spambots.
Particulary, I remember this one issue I was having with spambots registering. But never doing anything.
And slowly over the years, many of them has managed to sneak their way into my user database, but never actually posting any harm. And I thought after years, it would stay that way. Untill yesterday.
Yesterday, all of the spambots that had registered over time, were starting to post. ALL at the same time. It was an absolute mess, and a huge surprise that these longtime passive bots, seemed to be set on 12th of january 2013. I had to go in there and manually delete more than 50 bots.
This was absolutely time consuming as well, because I´m still using BBPress 1.02, since I dont understand how to upgrade it.
But for those of you who remember this issue, and thought these bots would stay passive, think again. They will strike. So better protect against all of them. Its just wierd that they took so long in “hibernation mode”. We´re talking years here.
Hey bbPress.
I need help to remove these – marked on picture.

I found “bbp-forums-list” inside teh bbPress plugin’s css and made the display to none instead of incline. It really didn’t help much.
Can you help me?
Hi Guys, we just converted a 2,5 mln posts and 70.000 users BBpress 1.0 install to BBpress 2.2.1 (under WP 3.5). Conversion went ok, but now the server is busy with a continuously repeating query we cannot identify:
SELECT post_modified_gmt FROM wp_posts WHERE post_status = ‘publish’ AND post_type IN (‘post’, ‘page’, ‘attachment’, ‘forum’, ‘topic’, ‘reply’) ORDER BY post_modified_gmt DESC LIMIT 1
Anyone an idea where this comes from?

Hi, I’m starting this topic since I was stuck on creating anonymous forum.
First I want to thank mods and those all who are participating in this voluntary development, I’m very satisfied in using this forum plugin.
Back to the topic, I have got two issues.
One is creating an anonymous forum only logged-in members can write. I’m curious to know if this is possible in the given function of bbpress admin panel. Or should I do additional code tweaks.(guess the forum should be set private, and remove all the related username infos in my custom bbpress reply author loop.. right?)
The other issue is making a query to this private forum’s post and displaying it in the main page which visitors can all see. Is it possible to unlock this access capability after querying the topic content which is set private?
Currently, when I make a query to this private reply contents, and display them on the main page as a widget, ppl with proper capability only can see the content on the main page. Visitors cannot. I want to unlock this capability after querying the contents.
Sorry for asking too much at once. I’m stuck over days.. so asking in this support forum after searching the whole forum.
Thank you for reading!
Why topic after change name not change url i most go in wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=topic to change?
Hello all, I understand this is a bloated question, but I’m just looking for any information to help my research.
I have the .ldf and .mdf DotNetNuke Active Forum database files. I’m looking to import these files to bbPress. I see that the database structures are a lot different.
How would I go about making these files compatible with bbPress? There are over 1000 users I’d like to preserve as well as several thousand forum posts.
ANY help at all would be most grateful 🙂 Thanks!
