In reply to: Redirect Loop bug found (reproducible)
Hmm, would you mind adding this to bbPress trac? https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
In reply to: Forum Icons ?I think this could be a great plugin. In fact, if memory serves correct, there was one like this for bbPress 1.x or 0.9.
There is just two main parts really. Optionally assigning icons to the Forums (which could either be a radio to select from a certain set or the featured image could be used to upload your own) and then the actual topics.
Wouldn’t be hard to execute. I’d actually love to do something like this as I think it would be fun, just don’t have the time at the moment.
In reply to: separate out tags for each forumI don’t know anyway around that unfortunately. I think you might just have to make specific tags – rules baseball, rules nfl, etc.
In reply to: Forum permalinks adding a "-2" at the endUnfortunately, not currently. That would be something that would need to done on a WordPress core level. I’m not aware of that being an issue they are going to address soon, but maybe I just haven’t seen it in WP trac.
There is a plugin that addresses the first issue.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-private-replies/
Not sure of an easy way to restrict posting a thread without a few chunks of custom code.
In reply to: Forum Root Page Showing Blog Page InsteadGo to the Settings > Permalinks page. When you bring that page up it flushes the permalinks. After that try to bring up those pages again and see if that helps.
In reply to: Google AuthorshipAh in that case, I think thats great. Since the author is the primary content creator of the thread, all things considering, I think it will work well.
You should considering polishing up that code and releasing it as a bbPress plugin on the WordPress.org plugin repository 🙂 You’d have to dynamically hook into the user edit page and maybe a few other changes, but the base of the work there is probably done.
In reply to: Custom forum login using external databaseSo here is how I would do it (I think) if I wanted something easy yet half way elegant.
I’d create a /login page in WordPress that has a custom page template (page-login.php) that contains some custom stuff. It still breaks the process up into two parts, which is not ideal, but its the easiest way without putting in some time to get around that.
Essentially, it would be something like this. First ask for the customer ID. They enter that in and submit it. If it’s valid then reload the page and show the bbPress login.
if ( isset( $_GET['cid'] ) && !empty( $_GET['cid'] ) ) {// cid (customer ID) is present, show the bbPress login form
echo 'Please enter your username and password to complete the login process';
echo do_shortcode('bbp-login');} elseif ( $_GET['error'] == true ) {
// cid entered was not valid
echo 'The customer ID you entered is not valid.';} else {
// cid is absent so show the form to validate it
// do your custom form here that asks for the customer ID. Then if the customer ID
// is correct/valid reload this page like /login?cid=123456 which will show
// the bbPress login form.
}Another option would be on the first form to ask for the username. Then you could take that and have it auto fill in on the login form using the WordPress login form function (wouldn’t be able to use the bbPress shortcode for this).
In reply to: Allowing inline images uploads in posts?The thing that makes inline images tough is non-admin users cannot use the
tag and shortcodes are not an option.Currently there is an issue on trac (#1916) that would make it where img tags do not get filtered out. Once that’s done it would open the gate for plugins to handle inline images pretty easily.
In reply to: Google AuthorshipThat’s interesting, but not quite the approach he was asking about (from my understanding).
I think he was referring to the google rich snippets that show up if the page supports the appropriate meta (http://yoast.com/push-rel-author-head/)
You could use a good chunk of the code that is posted above (the part where it sets up a field for google+), then on topic pages get the topic user’s ID, and use that to put in the line above.
In reply to: Error 404 on Author Profile Because of FBConnectHmm, there could be numerous things causing this to not work. Likely user accounts via the FBC are missing some user metadata that bbPress is expecting or are otherwise not formatted correctly.
At this time I don’t think we are planning on officially supporting that plugin, though I do think having limited compatibility at some point in the future could great.
In reply to: Custom forum login using external databaseI think the only way to do what you want wil be using a completely custom login form that you pass to your own server for validation. You won’t be able to use the WordPress login form (or the function that generates it) at all.
There are about a dozen different ways you can take this based on the 5 minutes I’ve thought about it. Really just depends if you’re going for elegant, easy, or some where in between. It’s going to take custom code regardless.
In reply to: bb-wysiwyg-ckeditorBy default I don’t think you’ll be able to simply swap them out. It’s certainly possible, but will take some elbow grease.
It’s a Firefox problem. All other browsers should show it correctly. Will be addressed in 2.3.
Until then, this should fix it.
.bbp-user-section {
overflow: auto;
}
In reply to: separate out tags for each forumThe topic tags are not related or limited to specific forums, so what you’re trying to do won’t be easy (nor does it really make sense :P).
In reply to: Google AuthorshipRight now bbPress doesn’t do anything with that.
It’s a good idea, but a plugin would need to be made to capture each users Google+ profile link (assuming there is one) and then put the stuff in the header as needed.
Yeah I’d reinstall the latest version. Something is definitely screwy.
In reply to: Hook or template tag for bbPress only pagethe function to use for a check is
is_bbpress()In reply to: Allowing inline images uploads in posts?There is a plugin that enables attachments – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/, however past that currently there is no other method. It’s certainly on the list for core, we just haven’t gotten to it yet.
In reply to: I'm afraid update bbPress in every release!It shouldn’t be, no.
Few things I recommend when upgrading is pre-upgrade temporarily switch to TwentyTen and the default bbPress theme (if you are using a custom one), then do the upgrade. If everything works, then switch back to your normal theme/bbPress theme. Then if it starts giving errors at least you know where to look.
Another thing that can be helpful is to temporarily turn on WP_DEBUG which can sometimes reveal problems with your theme or plugins you have installed that are preventing bbPress from running correctly.
I’ve been running bbPress on sites since 2.0 and haven’t had any problems upgrading, but I wrote the themes from scratch and am real particular on what plugins get installed.
In reply to: Ability to quote or reply to specific users.Do a search in the plugin repository for it, there was a plugin that added that for bbPress 2.x at one point, however I haven’t personally used it so I can’t say how well it works or if it still runs with 2.2.x.
Edit: nevermind, just go to the part that you tried the plugin. It’s definitely something we would like in core. Ideally someone would write an awesome plugin that does it (correctly) and then it would be eventually folded into core.
In reply to: Remove Create New Topic on Shortcode PageNot easily, no.
That shortcode calls the content-single-forum.php template file. So you’re options are to copy that file to your theme and edit it (but this will be reflected globally, not just in the shortcode). Or create your own shortcode based off the bbPress one and have it use a custom template file.
In reply to: Exhausted RAM installing bbpress.You can also try increasing the memory limit within WordPress via your wp-config. I’d give that I try first, bump it to something like 128mb and see if that helps.

In reply to: any POLLS that will work with current versions?Just be aware that activating shortcodes in bbPress can open up a whole can of worms, which is why its disabled by default.
If they are enabled there is nothing stopping someone from using bbPress shortcodes in a reply/topic, eg [bbp_login].
Polls in 2.x is definitely something that is needed. However it’s really plugin territory, and so far no one has written one!
In reply to: Replies created pages will not showIt might be your theme doing something weird with the query. Just to rule things out, temporarily switch you theme to TwentyTen and see if the problem still occurs.
