WordPress 3.4.2 / bbPress 2.1.2 / site: bit.ly/OVo94w

Have never used bbPress before so bear with me.

The main problem is all non-admin/author/etc users (including public) cannot see any of the posts (confirmed with a test account as both a basic and paid user). Anybody that’s not a user essentially can see the posts though. Can provide screenshots or test logins if needed.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, after a WordPress update, a cropped version of the main logo for the site started showing up on the forum index after ‘Forums by’.

There also seems to be an issue with public visibility of all the forums on the index (have checked permissions/etc). They all show up to a logged in user but only 2 of them show up for a non-registered/public user and bots indexing the site.

Have tried a number of things so far that i have found in other topics here: Disabling Akismet (and a number of other plugins to see if there are any conflicts), Deactivating and Reactivating bbPress, deleting and re-creating the forums, and more.

At this point I am a little lost, and not sure how to fix these and really would like to avoiding having to completely re-install bbPress/Wordpress.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi everyone,
I’ve just finished searching info about features mentioned in the title, and here goes my question. Are there some plugins for post count for every single user? Or is it in consideration of developers to add such function?

And next q. What about search option? Plans? Or some already existing plugin?

I found plugin which extends searching in our blog also to forums, but it seems it is not compatible with my theme, and results are just big mess, ugly. It’s called Search bbPress 2.0.

I’ve googled and browsed through the forums and finally decided just to ask the experts: Is bbPress right for me?

I’m running a WordPress site and want to start a forum. Simplicity and clean design are important to me. I dislike most of the forum offerings because it seems like you are looking at a database more than a conversation, if you know what I mean.

Here are a few things I’m looking for:

1) Works great on iOS devices.
2) Clean, non-category-oriented design. (e.g. maybe looks like Vanilla?).
3) Has a plug-in that not only shows the title of the recent post but shows a bit of the text. Again, a focus on the conversation, not the database.
4) Not buggy, not a spam magnet.
5) Easy to use for non-techie readers.

For some reason #3 seem to be a difficult hurdle for most forums. Instead they like to show the category, the post title, the author, the time–everything but teasing the reader with what is actually being said!

I did see a bbPress demo somewhere–here, I thought but I can’t find it now–that had a nice-looking theme. It was called (O)x or something like that. The “Theme” section seems to be down these past few days, maybe it was there.

Is there a way to use the bbPress forum list (parents & children) in a widget? Basically I need to create a WordPress Custom Menu with the list, but I have way too many forums to list them all out. Did I just miss something?

NOTE: I know about the bbPress Forum List widget. I need that list but for use in another widget.

Thanks!

Hi all,

Just wondering about the pro’s and con’s of using this type of site. I’m new to any sorts of forums so please be patient.

Thanks

Now i get a a blank page with no forum but on the backend everything is fine. Last time this happened i had a page not found then received an update. I’m just about to release one of my sites but i can’t do it if i have no forum. What do i do? 🙁

Hello, I am using TwentyEleven and bbPress 2.1.2

TwentyEleven has a width limit 980px and that is OK.

I want to integrate bbPress but I want it to be 100% full screen width.

I do not want the whole site to be 100% full screen width.

I just want the forums to be 100% and the rest of the site to be 980px.

The problem div id=bbpress-forums is inside div id=page

page {

    margin: 0 auto;
    padding: 0 25px;
    width: 980px;
}

I don’t know how to separate these divs.

Any help? Thanks

Private subject can be created only from the Admin only, I know.

But right now, a private subject inside a public forum can’t be seen at all, even by an admin.

Shouldn’t a private subject be visible in a public forum?

(WP and bbP up to date)

Has anyone experienced or know how to resolve this issue? I have installed bbPress version 2.0.2 (downloaded from older versions section) and the install goes fine, up until I click on ‘activate’ in the plugins.

After I do that I can no longer view my site or any page or link or anything at all, it’s just a blank page. I also noticed that in the admin section (which I can still se no problem), the ‘appearance’ menu, half the menu is missing (theme options, menu, backgrounds, header etc).

Click on ‘deactivate’ and all returns to normal.

My version of WP is 3.3.1 and I do not want to upgrade to 3.4.1 (this is why I downloaded an older version of bbPress that is supposedly compatible)

Is this just a compatibility issue with older versions etc or am I missing something on the install?

Thanks

Hi,

As I needed to have a customisable register form for BBPress, I changed the registration to the customisable fields I needed and altered the database. This works fine.

However now when a new user registers and logs in, they cannot view the profile page as a “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

When I look in the back end as an admin the user is automatically given the role of “subscriber”. If changed to “Forum Participant” the user is allowed to view the profile page, however I want the role to be set automatically, rather than the admin doing it.

So I have got to the point where in the registration process I have this code so far to fix this:

//Where $u is the newly registered user who has been added to the database

$u->remove_role( ‘subscriber’ );

$u->add_role( ” );

The problem is I don’t know the parameter in the add_role function for Forum Participants (or any other way to do this).

If anyone could tell me this it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance
