Published on June 12th, 2017 by jdvi09

WordPress version: 4.7.4
BuddyPress version: 2.6.2

A client of ours said that their forum has been down for about week now. The link to the forum specifically, is above in the last bullet point.

Any idea why this would be the case?

Tapatalk – WordPress / bbPress still supported?

Published on June 12th, 2017 by tobbev

Hi All

Just wanted to check if someone could give me an update on the Tapatalk plugin?

I have a WP+bbPress site and had planned to use the current Tapatalk plugin v1.4 for WP and Forums (whatever that means). But it doesn’t seam that easy.

1. There is an existing Tapatalk Plugin (v1.4) that could be installed in WP.
2. Plugin Support forum + google give me the impression that very few are using it.
3. Most search results go back to 2015 and earlier…referring to one WP Plugin plus one bbPress plugin from Tapatalk.
4. I have not managed to connect to the plugin from the Tapatalk Console.
5. Tapatalk support say that WP is not supported at the moment. Unclear why the plugin is still available and if it should work at all.

So, it would be very much appreciated if someone could share a little bit of light on this.

Font Size (In Forum Root Page)

Published on June 12th, 2017 by m31ware

Hi,

I am trying out bbpress and just created a forum. After creating a couple of categories and forums within them; I noticed that the font for the forum list seems a bit small. How can I adjust the size of the font?

Below is a link with a screenshot, I wish to change the size of the “News & Announcements” part.

Thanks in advance,

Published on June 12th, 2017 by k3vyk3v

I have a membership site which I am using bb press and BuddyPress

I have a section on my dashboard where I pull replies and new topics from the forum using the kleo posts.
I can view the posts and click into and read but I cannot reply from there and I need to go into the post in the forum and reply there

Does anyone have a fix

Forums

Published on June 12th, 2017 by kariellen35

I would really like to create forums for my website, however, I don’t have this option:

A. Set Up Sitewide Forums only

Install and activate bbPress.
Proceed to bbPress.org Codex to get started in creating your Sitewide Forums.
If you kept the default “forums” slug in Settings > Forums, you can create a new Page via Pages > Add New. Add Title “Forums” and insert the forums index shortcode and/or other bbPress shortcode you’ll find in the bbPress Codex then publish the new page.
Add new “Forums” Page in your custom menu via Appearances > Menu

Can someone please tell me what I am missing?

Thank you so much for your time!!

Take care,
Kari

Importing messages into bbPress

Published on June 11th, 2017 by itayasa

Hi.
I have an XML file containing messages (title, date, author and body). I’ve considered three methods of importing these messages into bbPress:

1. Into the database. I’ve written a PHP script to automate that but because the messages are in Hebrew then the encoding causes the text to be gibberish. When that problem was solved, topics that were inseted into the wp_posts table didn’t appear in the forum page.

2. Using the custom importing method. The database structure required to import the messages isn’t really understandable, how should my database be organized in order to transition my data from one database into WordPress’?

3. Using POST requests. I managed to parse the POST request the posting form does in order to make requests of my own. This is complicated, however, due to use of session cookies.

Right now the option that seems the best to me is (2). Instead of messing with encoding issues or session cookies, I need to create a second database but the question is: in which way should my data be organized? How are the IDs working? I didn’t really manage to catch all of that using the docs available here.

404s On ‘Old’ bbPress URLs

Published on June 11th, 2017 by danddco

We were running the stand alone bbPress for a loooong time.

We finally switched over to the plugin version last fall.

I am seeing a TON of 404 errors for URLs such as:

/forum/rss/topic/topic-name

AND

/forum/profile/profilename

I am pretty sure the solution for the /forum/profile/profilename is to create a rewrite that makes them all /users/ instead of /profile/ but I am not sure about the ones containing /rss/

From poking around I am thinking I should do:

/forum/rss/topic/topic-name

TO

/forum/topic/topic-name/feed

Assuming that the /rss/ URLs are ‘old’ stand alone bbPress related URLs.

Anyone have any insight on this?

Registration is disabled??

Published on June 10th, 2017 by jelliott2014

I am creating my first forum using bbPress 2.5.12 with WP 4.8. When registering as a new user, I am unable to do so; getting “Registration has been disabled.” I cannot find a setting in WP that allows new registrations. On the Net, All comments have mentioned enabling “allow new users” in Settings>General, but it is not present.

Am I missing the obvious?

Comments on custom post type as bbpress topics?

Published on June 9th, 2017 by crooy3

hi

Today I installed the bbpress plugin and converted all WordPress comments to bbpress topics.

It works for default post type, but what about custom post types? I trying show comments on that post types as bbpress topics, but unsuccessful.

Is that even possible?
