    No negative consequences, no.

    These symbols come with WordPress. We could include our own and override these, but I’m not totally sure that’s the best solution for everyone.

    There’s also nothing wrong with enabling TinyMCE; it’s just, a bit much for these lightweight forums in my opinion.

    For right now, you can use the bbp_get_user_topic_count_raw and bbp_get_user_reply_count_raw functions, respectively. These will eventually be replaced with cached functions, probably using usermeta to keep the counts.

    Not dead; just resting. A quick search should have lead you to the bbp_get_user_favorites_link function in users/template-tags.php. You can pass your own arguments into it, or you can filter bbp_after_get_user_favorites_link_parse_args to override them.

    Hey Jason! You could try resetting the user roles, in: Tools > Forums

    You can also try this neat little tool I wrote, to check out what capabilities specific users have in your forums: https://github.com/johnjamesjacoby/bbp-capabilities/

    What you’re experiencing sounds like bbPress isn’t sure what to do with the role those users have, or doesn’t like the capabilities those users have saved in the DB. Other users have had similar issues, and have fixed them by remapping the roles with the above tool(s).

    Huh. That’s interesting. I’ll need to investigate this. Anything unique to your setup that would be helpful for testing?

    @johnjamesjacoby

    Hard to say. Look for slow queries, probably of the multiple post-meta-join variety. If you have private or hidden forums, particularly in a hierarchical setup, that can slow things down too.

    That said, uncached pages don’t seem incredibly slow to me. Once the cache is primed for those pages, obviously they speed up tremendously.

    @johnjamesjacoby

    You should be able to turn off caching on specific parts of the site. You typically won’t want to cache much of the BuddyPress related output, since much of it is time-sensitive and activity based.

    It’s likely that the database server for your vBulletin installation isn’t configured to accept external requests from the database server you’re using for bbPress. You may want to export your vBulletin database, and import it into your bbPress database, and do the conversion locally to avoid connection issues.

    Try running the tool to repair user roles and capabilities permissions. It should be the last tool in the list, located in Tools > Forums.

    @johnjamesjacoby

    In my opinion, a forum isn’t a great piece of software for this kind of experience. You may want to use BuddyPress, and setup some kind of private activity stream, or create an explicit hidden group for each partnership.

    If you’re committed to using bbPress, you’ll need to do some custom development to use bbPress for this job.

    1. Remove the view=all query argument; does it work then?
    2. You’re not using the code from the codex page. $args['tinymce'] = true; is what turns the visual editor on.

    There’s not much we’ll be able to help you with here. Like @robin-w suggested, you’ll want to lean towards the paid support forums for your theme.

    @johnjamesjacoby

    A few things worth checking:

    • Do you have caching installed? If so, is the page fresh?
    • Is the forum private/hidden? Can your user account view private/hidden forums?

    Can you take screen shots or be more specific about what your settings are? The way you describe your configuration is a bit confusing.

    @johnjamesjacoby

    I’ve received no message on Facebook (it’s also a poor approach to reporting security issues.)

    Please read this page on the WordPress Codex.

    Not fair to say I’ve ignored something I didn’t receive. I’m curious how you’re managing to login and post anything here, if logins are broken?

    @johnjamesjacoby

    Keymaster

    Likely because the buttons of the editor are stretching the wrapper element. We used to have that same problem here, and might still to a certain degree.

    You should be able to add some CSS to work around it for your specific application.

    https://bbpress.org/login/ submits data directly to https://bbpress.org/wp-login.php – they use the exact same code to process your login. Sounds likely that there’s a cookie somewhere in your browser’s cache that’s being stubborn.

    Happy you found a solution that works for you, and sorry you’re having trouble.

    @johnjamesjacoby

    Not sure where you’re getting your info, but it’s not correct. 🙂

    bbPress uses your existing WordPress theme, and allows you to customize the individual templates as you see fit. You can copy the template files you want to customize out of:
    wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/
    and drop them in…
    wp-content/themes/YOUR_ACTIVE_THEME/bbpress/
    where YOUR_ACTIVE_THEME is the name of the currently active theme on your site.

    Then start editing them, and you should see your edits come through.

    Try deleting your bbpress.org cookies. We did some moving around of the site, and I suppose it’s possible the old cookies are conflicting.

    @johnjamesjacoby

    In bbPress’s default configuration, this is by design to support styling for widgets, which can exist outside of bbPress’s standard page views. You’ll need to write a custom plugin to dequeue bbPress’s CSS when ! is_bbpress().

    There is nothing we can do about this here. You’ll need to contact the site owner directly.

    Your server is running out of memory. You’ll want to increase the amount available to PHP. Searching the web for the preferred way of doing this with your webhost is probably best.

    @johnjamesjacoby

    Nothing yet that I’ve heard of or seen. It wouldn’t be too difficult to write, though some kses logic in formatting.php would need to be extracted out and used to provide a pass/fail instead of a preg_replace().

    Are you able to profile your site (probably using the Debug Bar plugin) to get more information on what queries are running slowly? According to your other topic, it sounds like some other plugins were the culprit.

    If you’d like to help improve the forum, view, and topic-index queries, we have this ticket open for bbPress 2.5: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1925

    From http://api.jquery.com/live/ :

    As of jQuery 1.7, the .live() method is deprecated. Use .on() to attach event handlers. Users of older versions of jQuery should use .delegate() in preference to .live().

    Sounds like you’re using an old jQuery version, being enqueued from some other plugin.
