Added to my 2.1

Added to Trac http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1815

I decided to see if I could work out how to add it to my forums using my custom theme for bbPress 2.1.

I managed to get it to work after a bit of experimentation and many errors by adding this:

<?php
$reply_user_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id();
global $wp_roles;
$reply_user = new WP_User( $reply_user_id );
$roles = $reply_user->roles;
$role = array_shift($roles);
printf( isset($wp_roles->role_names[$role]) ? translate_user_role($wp_roles->role_names[$role] ) : false);
?>

into loop-single-reply.php.

Hope this is helpful to anyone else trying to do this.

I believe it was a feature on the standalone version of bbPress so why was it dropped on the plugin version? Is this likely to be re-added at any point?

Thanks
Rob

I'm not really sure. The next thing I would do would be to activate TwentyEleven and disable all plugins except bbPress - that would at least let you know if the problem is with a theme/plugin being used.

Permalinks are changed, but still no user profiles.

I'm not really sure how to address that in the .htaccess file or how to get to it. Or what effects the permalink change will have globaly. I know i would have to change a lot of stuff.

Just for grins try setting your permalinks. Go to Settings > Permalinks and pick one of the structures, then save.

/theme/styles.css
/css/bbpress.css

I dont see anything about profile or user visabilty or any allow statment going on in there.

Do you know where this elusive theme edit is you speak of????

It may have to do with my no login with firefox and safari issue as well.

That will best be handled by a custom plugin - unforunatly I don't think anyone has written one yet.

The usernames shown as post authors have imported_ prefixed to them.

So we have
username, and
imported_username

So I tried deleting imported_username using bbpress function of assigning all its topics/replies to username. The operation was successful and now I see username as author of those topics/replies, but one problem lingers: I still don't see any topics/replies by username if I go to its profile page.

I can't go the opposite way and delete username and then change imported_username to username as WordPress doesn't allow changing usernames.

P.S. I imported from phpBB 3.0.9

There are some nifty plug-ins you might want to look at so you can send new members custom welcome emails and redirect them on their first-sign on to their own profile page as so to encourage them to complete their profile.

Also adding custom fields to the profiles of members can be a great way to get them to share more information about themselves and relevant to the community of the forum.

I do really to get this working without the need for people to be logged into the website as an administrator to see the topics and replies.

At the moment, that is the only way topics can be viewed and I'm sure its because I have missed something obvious.

Good luck!

I am using project site as a forum-only website, so they will not be posting blogs or anything.

I plan to try to get second level students and teachers registering. As many as possible, so i'd like it if i didn't have to do anything for them to register.

Thanks in advance guys, i'm a major newcomer when it comes to webdesign.

I'm setting up a forum using bbpress in a WordPress website that will only be available when people are logged into the website.

At the moment if you are not logged in the person can see the forum page and the notice to say how many topics are there but can't actually see the topics. You can only see the topics when logged in as an admin. While I test everything I do want topics to be seen when not logged in. Once everything is finished, I will need users that are logged in as subscribers to see the topics (which they can't currently)

I haven't ever used bbpress before and this is a custom theme I have built so I'm sure it is something I have done wrong. When I installed bbpress, I did need to copy all of the files from the twentyten theme into my own to be able to see any of the forums. The file I copied was: plugins / bbpress / bbp-themes / bbp-twentyten

Is there something obvious I have missed?

I am using WordPress 3.3.1 and bbpress 2.02

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks!

Second, possibly a bug. Give me a day or two to look into it.
