No access to bbPress setup etc in old install

Published on November 19th, 2016 by POS2012

I have a WP site , and I installed bbPress and BuddyPress in 2012. It worked great. Then the project got cold, and I now want to start it up again.

However, to keep WP healthy I have updated it version for version. Now it is 4.6.1, and I have bbPress 2.5.11 and BuddyPress 2.7.2

I can not get access to bbPress’ settings.

I can access wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bb-forums-setup and then can click “cofigure bbPress”, but the popup loads a blank page.

I remember that the first time I set it up I had access to a lot of settings, but now I can not access anything.

Where do I go from here? What is the best way to get access again?

Front-end editor for forums?

Published on November 19th, 2016 by Chad R. Schulz

There’s contradictory information inside these forums about whether it’s possible to have front-end editing for a forum in bbpress.

Within the code there’s obviously support (or once was). However, every attempt to access front-end editing using a /forum/sample-forum/edit url results in a 404.

Older posts here indicate this used to work. Yet, some more current posts state that front-end editing for forums is not yet(?) possible (only topics and replies).

What information is correct? Is front-end forum editing still possible in core as default or has it (for some reason) been deactivated? And if it is still an option what things could I check for why I’m getting a 404 instead of the form-forum.php template?

Thanks for any help,
Chad

Replies does not create pages

Published on November 18th, 2016 by hanifascraps

Hi there,

I’m using Bbpress as a forum in my website and I’m link it very much. So thank you very much for sharing this.

But I would like to share what I found today.

Today I found a “Bug” in bbPress that will ask if the tema of bbPress could think on a resolution for the next release.

The problem is if we activate the “replying threading” the the replies stop making pagination. The page will be a continuous one.
But if you deactivate the “replying threadin” then you have the pagination of the replies.
Can you making to have the both possibilites?

Kind Regards,

bbPress email Notifications don’t work

Published on November 18th, 2016 by Elia

Hi there,

I use myMail + Amazon SES to send all the emails on my website.

All the system emails works, BuddyPress emails works. However, bbPress email notifications don’t work.

I already know that the problem with the myMail settings:
https://gyazo.com/52d3e8bc99e159018599fee3cdb5887f

When I use “Do not use MyMail for outgoing WordPress mails” everything works. But I can’t use this setting, because all the emails became ugly and with different design (Buddypress has it’s own design, WooCommerce has it’s own, bbPress has no design at all).

Therefore, I have to use “Use MyMail for all outgoing WordPress mails” in the myMail to have unified emails. However, bbPress emails don’t work as I said.

Can anyone help me, please? I’m willing to pay for this.

2 forums on 2 pages

Published on November 18th, 2016 by meervdnick

Hello,

I am currently working on my websites forum. The thing is. I have two diffrent pages where I want to display a forum. One page is a ‘search’ forum and one page is a ‘find’ page. The topics on each page must be the same. I used the shortcode

on both pages but this results in the same forum on both pages. So now, when I enter a post in the ‘search’ page it automaticly shows up in the ‘find’ page.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Kind regards,

Nick

Edit of Topic results in anopther topic notification

Published on November 18th, 2016 by Venutius

It is very common for topic authors to have to go back and edit the topic due to html formatting being left due to a copy/paste action.

When a post is edited, this results in a duplicate topic notification, I find this duplication needless as usually it comes just minutes after the topic was posted.

Is there anyway to change this behaviour?
