BuddyPress.org

Thank You ! i have an another doubt how can i show bbpress forum counts,topic counts,replies for individual user without login in buddypress members page below username.

Hi Shanebp,

Thank you very much for your prompt reply.

The programer that helped me to setup the theme with buddypress/bbpress and userpro, from the Theme Dutch, told me that they use userpro’s register, hence, the ‘register’ and the ‘activate’ pages are not associated with the buddypress.

When I land http://www.enihongo.net/register/, it would jump to http://www.enihongo.net/profile/register (for userpro) now.
There is no ‘activate’ page now.

Whoops. Sorry – ended up in wrong forum and didn’t even realize it – it was a bbpress question I had. Please disregard the question

Hi @minglonaire,

The forum part is easy because that is built into bbPress in the first place. If you read the “Getting Started with bbPress” page https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/ you will note that there are three settings for forum visibility:

Public – Anyone can see these forums
Private – Only logged in registered users can see these forums
Hidden: Only Moderators/Admins can see these forums

I made my base forum (which is actually a category) Private, and the majority of sub-forums Public – but tied into the BuddyPress groups so you required membership to each particular group to access each of the forums. This only works if BuddyPress is hidden from logged out users.

If you don’t want to use BuddyPress groups… just make all your forums Private.

Note that BuddyPress defines Public, Private and Hidden slightly differently than bbPress

I had issues with my theme not displaying Hidden Groups to the people it should… If this is an issue for you, check out another thread… https://buddypress.org/support/topic/hidden-groups-and-forums-not-showing-for-members-of-them/

All the best! 🙂

These are the errors I receive when trying to activate buddypress

Hey Dan,
Yeah – I understand that – spent a lot of time reading, and have installed BuddyPress and bbPress on my staging domain.

I’ve experimented around w/ the Groups features (including allowing a Group to have a forum, etc). At this point, I realize I’m getting into personal preference …so with that being understood, here’s my question:

What’s the real point of Status Update/Activity Streams in the individual groups in BuddyPress if you are going to be also having forums via bbPress? It seemed and felt cluttered and redundant to me.

Like I created a group called “Songwriters” and linked it to the “Songwriters” forum. But, members of the Group can post status updates in the Group, that don’t show up in the forum. And if a member of the group posts in the forum, it does show up in the “forum” section of the group, but doesn’t show up in the activity feed for the group.

It almost feels like the two spaces are competing, I’m not sure I follow the rationale. Again, I realize it’s preference, but in your opinion, if you are going to utilize bbPress forums, is it best to just turn groups off?

What I’m trying to prevent is having the “group” discussions having in two separate areas. I can see how you’d have some discussion happening in the forum, and then someone else may post a topic as a “status update” in the group, and start getting comments there.

Does this make sense?

@danbp yeah I have it setup for both groups and stand-alone.

The bp_is_user_forums, no matter what I try returns false and never matches. The plugin template is then used to render the templates BBPress uses.

I’ll try a fresh install at some point, there’s always something new to deal with.

Thanks for your help so far. I’ve made a start on your suggestions:

What is your complaining users role on forums ?

Forum role: Participant
(WP role: Subscriber)

Deactivate bbPress, resave your permalinks (should be other than default),

I’ve done this (I just went into /wp-admin/options-permalink.php and hit ‘save changes’, I’m already using ‘Day and name’).

reactivate and relaunch the repair tool

I’ve done this.

As before, “Recalculate the position of each reply” took a long time to complete (several minutes) and eventually gave a 502 Bad Gateway error. I tried again and got a 504 Gateway Time-out. I was feeling stubborn so I ran it once or twice more until finally I got “Recalculating reply menu order … Complete!”

The remaining repair options all completed quickly until I got to the final one, “Remap existing users to default forum roles”. Each time I run this it pauses for a short while, then gives me a white screen. I tried this half-a-dozen times with the same result every time.

I’ll press on with the other steps when I have more time. In the meantime it would be useful if anyone can suggest why I keep getting a white screen when I run “Remap existing users to default forum roles” and whether that might be related to my problems?

Thanks for answering I never really know! I had a question that I asked on BBPress awhile back and they directed me to BuddyPress :P. So never really know haha.

@mercime Re: Looks like you deactivated bbPress. If you activate it again and cannot find the Forum Attribute box, then I suggest you try re-uploading bbPress via s/FTP or you can delete bbPress from the admin backend then install it again.

The plug-in I’m using is not bbPress. It’s BuddyPress. So I found the tab where I would have been able to do the steps in instruction #7.”Go to Forum> Add New….etc” but it’s under the heading “retired” and it tells me in Buddypress to use bbPress for this particular feature. I don’t know if I should delete the BuddyPress plug-in all together and just use bbPress instead or just install the bbPress plug-in, activate and then pick up with instruction #7 from there.
