In reply to: Participant forum role can no longer post
I added a few user capabilities plugins to edit roles but none have done the trick.
This likely did more harm than good.
Try installing the following plugin (by me) which provides a nice user-interface for identifying where your bbPress roles and capabilities have gone wrong:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-capabilities/
This plugin was originally a hidden tool tucked into bbPress, but was extracted into a plugin once we went with dynamic role registration.
The thing with bbPress roles, is that they work amazingly well for the large majority of installations. For the very small minority that want to deeply integrate it with other plugins or services, it works a bit differently than WordPress’s native roles and capabilities (for the better, to be frank) which requires a bit of special handling.
In reply to: How to start?Hi there. Are you able to shed some light on what documentation you found helpful, and what you ended up setting up?
In reply to: Modifying Username Colors Based on RoleHey there. You’ll need to write a small plugin to do this, as currently there is no classification of what roles a user has available to target.
I’ve created this Trac ticket and slated it for the 2.7 release. It won’t be too difficult for us to make this easier for you in a future release.
In reply to: My language files are overwritten by updateSince WordPress 4.0, this happens with any plugins that have complete and updated translations. If you modify them, WordPress won’t know about it.
In reply to: Cc instead of Bcc in notification emailsTo be clear, emails are *not* being sent via the “cc” header; they are definitely being sent via the correct “Bcc” header.
I’m looking into this now, and have not duplicated the issue. So far 2 others have chimed in with a similar experience as yours, so something is up somewhere (maybe server configuration, PHPMailer config, etc…)
We’ll check it out and see what we can do.
In reply to: bcc field in notifications is visible to usersLooks like someone else is seeing this also.
It might be a server configuration issue, but I’m looking into it now.
In reply to: After upgrade to wordpress 4.0.1 topics disappearedSorry y’all are having troubles. I’ll check this out and report back.
In reply to: bbpress 2.3.2 not working with WP 4.0.1is the bbpress support is dead ? :/
Holiday weekend here in the U.S.
You’re using two versions of software that aren’t labeled as being compatible, so your mileage will likely vary. If you can be more specific and take a bit of initiative to investigate what’s broken, it’s possible someone can help you work this out. That said, your best bet is to use current and compatible versions.
I’m not able to duplicate this on a vanilla bbPress installation. I’m guessing y’all have a similar plugin running that’s filtering the single topic query.
Compare notes and report back; if there’s a regression in WordPress core, it’s critical that we get it fixed together.
In reply to: bbpress SQL InjectionEchoing what Stephen said above, these issues are not actual issues (with bbPress 1.x or 2.x) and in are in no way responsible for anything that could have happened to your site.
When something is not installed incorrectly, of course it isn’t going to work correctly. These issues are akin to installing your TV with the screen facing the wall, and complaining that you can’t see it from the couch. 🙂
If it so happens any security issues are found in any version of bbPress, please do not publicly report them in these forums. Instead, responsibly disclose us:
https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Security
We try to be really good about fixing any security issues ASAP.
In reply to: reply email notifications are not being sentLikely broke with 2.5.4 and our change to BCC headers:
In reply to: Anonymous Users Can't See Their RepliesThat is a very odd problem to have.
- What other plugins do you have running?
- What theme are you using?
In reply to: bbPress 2.5.4When a plugin is updated via WordPress’s Admin Interface
- It is deactivated
- New files are pulled down
- It is reactivated
Problem is, the bbPress Notify Spam plugin isn’t coded in such a way to fail gracefully when bbPress is not active. Thus when WordPress tries to reactivate bbPress, a fatal error occurs. Not because of bbPress, but because bbPress is temporarily not there, and bbPress Notify Spam tries to call bbPress functions.
The fix is for that plugin author to use bbPress’s sub-actions and filters to include its files and execute code, and not call bbPress core functions without confirming bbPress is active previously in its call stack.
Sorry y’all for the inconvenience, but there’s little we can do in bbPress core to prevent this type of thing.
In reply to: Moderators DisappearingAdd some debug logging to
bbp_set_current_user_default_role()to narrow down the cause,(likely with dumping out the call stack.)You should be able to cowboy code something if you’re able to reproduce the issue with a test user account. If you’re able to come up with explicit instructions on how to duplicate this on an installation that only has bbPress running, I’d love to fix anything that isn’t behaving correctly.
In reply to: Moderators DisappearingI see two possible ways this *might* fail:
* Multisite & calls to
switch_to_blog
*bbp_get_user_role()is returning multiple bbPress roles (either because some third party role editor plugin was used to manipulate things, or there’s some crusty old role data somewhere in there.)In reply to: Moderators Disappearing@josiahw That’s pretty odd. If you want to debug, check inside the
bbp_set_current_user_default_rolefunction, hooked tobbp_setup_current_user. There are several redundant checks to ensure what you’re seeing doesn’t happen, so I’m curious where it might be failing and how.In reply to: Give bbPress full editor by default?Pasting HTML and metadata is a WordPress/TinyMCE issue, and not really a bbPress bug to solve. There are WordPress plugins to disable HTML pasting, and we do support them, and we could go as far as including this in core as a helper for people that do turn TinyMCE on.
In reply to: Pagination on "latest topics"Works for me? Details are helpful here.
In reply to: Can't Access Replies in Dashboard: 500 Server ErrorOdd that this would change seemingly randomly, or overnight. 500 errors could be lots of things, and Robin is correct to try deactivating any recently added plugins to start.
Did you bump up the Replies per page in Screen options maybe? Is it possible you’re trying to load more replies than your available server memory can handle?
In reply to: Importing from Invision 3.4.3 impossibleThese types of faults are typically due to some encoding issue in that post. Sometimes this is from an encoding conversion to UTF8 that was done at some point. Whatever it is, it’s nearly impossible to detect without setting a time limit on queries and bisecting the difference until we can narrow down the offending entry, and skip it. Because queries could naturally take a long time, and because it results in missed data, I’m not comfortable with this approach.
In reply to: How to add forum for that site?It’s a WordPress site, so… sure!
In reply to: I downloaded a theme, now what..?Any of the themes from bbshowcase.org are for the retired version of bbPress (1.x), which is to say it won’t work inside of WordPress, or for bbPress 2.x.
In reply to: Suffusion bbpress pack issuesIt sounds like this theme added bbPress specific templates to both the parent theme, and the child theme, both of which are overriding bbPress’s default template compatibility (because bbPress will yield to those overrides, which is how you can customize bbPress without needing to hack bbPress.)
Can be a bit confusing at first, especially since there’s no real indication of what is being loaded from where.
You could try installing the WordPress Debug Bar plugin, and then install the bbPress Debug Bar extension: https://wordpress.org/plugins/debug-bar-bbpress/
This will give you some information about what bbPress template is loading from where, but it’s still only providing a small window into a somewhat hidden experience.
In reply to: Limit Number of Topics and Replies per Page and RSSHi @ryanric,
I’ve attempted to duplicate this with bbPress 2.5.3 and am unable to.
I changed my replies per page to 3 here:

In reply to: Specific Moderator per forum?We’ve started making some progress in 2.6 using a custom taxonomy to map usernames to forums, but I’m not 100% convinced it’s the right way to go.
It might make a good plugin to start. I’ll see what kind of effort that takes, and report back here what I’m able to come up with.
