That’s one way to do it, sure. Either way, you’ll need something like that if you want to keep the old style profiles around. Nice work.

[John James Jacoby]

@steveatty – Fixed in trunk. Thanks!

It’s most likely bbPress’s fault, being too strict on clearing out the CSS for lists.

[John James Jacoby]

I’ll make sure this happens in 2.3.

[John James Jacoby]

It’s a bit difficult to wrap your head around at first, but the reason theme compatibility exists, is because you should not modify code/templates that come with plugins or themes. When using a plugin like bbPress, and a theme that isn’t yours, you need some other way to introduce code into WordPress.

You can use either a plugin, or a child theme to do this.

You’ll want to research both methods, and figure out which one suits your situation and needs.

[John James Jacoby]

Yep!

• bbp_get_forum_content( $forum_id ); to return
• bbp_forum_content( $forum_id ); to echo

[John James Jacoby]

That’s true. Unfortunately before bbPress 2.2, users had to go digging to assign forum moderator capabilities to users with existing WordPress roles, so we indirectly drove users towards that solution already. :/

[John James Jacoby]

Put this in mu-plugins, or make a plugin out of it, or put it in your functions.php file of your theme. Probably will want to rename “foo” though.

function foo( $args = array() ) {
    $args['teeny'] = false;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'foo' );

[John James Jacoby]

That’s not a great solution, because you’re missing out on all the other things that hook to the_content otherwise.

Are you using query_posts() anywhere? Are you not using wp_reset_query(); when your WP_Query’s are done?

[John James Jacoby]

Use your favorite FTP program.

Can you be more explicit about what broke with what version? If it was 2.2.2, try reinstalling 2.2.2.

[John James Jacoby]

The editor here is the basic WordPress editor with some CSS tweaks; something anyone with a spare hour should be able to put together.

[John James Jacoby]

Changed to bbp_single_user_details_avatar_size in the branch, will be 2.2.3, which has no date set yet. You can safely modify that code in your file if you’d like, any future update will include it.

[John James Jacoby]

Ah; yeah. That was fixed over an hour ago, when the bug crept in. I force-busted the theme-cache again to be safe.

[John James Jacoby]

Left over from the old templates. Should probably be something else, yeah.

[John James Jacoby]

I don’t get this I can’t read the replies on here?

Can you be more specific? I don’t understand what that means.

[John James Jacoby]

It’s not that crazy. bbPress has used this pattern for almost 9 years now.

• /forums/ is your root
• /forums/forum/slug/ is a single forum
• /forums/topic/slug/ is a single topic
• /forums/users/slug/ is a single user

Regarding your theme, a quick read through some topics here will help you. Try with a default theme, refresh your permalinks, etc…

[John James Jacoby]

Redownload/reinstall 2.2.2; was another hiccup in the zip and was quickly fixed.

Sorry about that. These things are difficult to catch.

[John James Jacoby]

It’s most likely not because of this. Even here at bbPress.org, the header, sidebar, and footer all create new WP_Query objects without any issues.

bbPress 2.2 even adds additional checks for is_main_query() and in_the_loop() to make sure this doesn’t happen.

[John James Jacoby]

Partially. The roles and capabilities in 2.2 have all the filters and hooks in place to allow for this to happen in future versions, though there’s no UI for it currently.

Forum VS Role VS User permissions are going to be tricky to handle in WordPress. We’ll most likely need to get creative with where the relationship data is stored, using the taxonomy table or something similar.

[John James Jacoby]

Since I can’t see your forums at all, it’s impossible to be helpful. Private forums are for registered users only.

[John James Jacoby]

Revert back to a default WordPress theme. Update your permalinks.

[John James Jacoby]

It’s fine to be frustrated, but your tone towards the volunteers trying to help you is pretty crappy.

However, it is the sentiment one gets when trying to follow the BBpress’ documentation: (…)

If you don’t like the documentation, change it. It’s a WordPress site where everyone is an Editor, and you can be part of the solution just like every other volunteer, or you can be upset because the amazing free software you’re using isn’t as polished as we all know it could be. If only we had more volunteers… Paradox.

Which is it? Why are there two different ways? Is one applicable to one situation and the other to another?

We brought the old bbConverter into bbPress in 2.1. bbConverter development stopped, and I took it over and brought it into bbPress core along with several much needed fixes. Trying to use software that you know is abandoned and others have not succeeded with is generally a bad idea.

I am just told that the database does not exist. Well it does, I can log-in using myPhp and there it is.

The connection failure doesn’t provide the feedback you’re wishing for. There is no “your password was incorrect but the username is okay” level of feedback, so you’re on your own. Based on how capable and experienced you are, let’s assume it’s correct anyway. If the converter still can’t connect, the server can’t access the other server you’re trying to point it to.

So… you’ll have the best luck if your bbPress 1.1 tables are in the same database as your current WordPress installation. Maybe try exporting those tables out of the other database, and importing them into the current one, and give it another shot.

It’s worth adding, that while you say it’s an easy process, the data migration for bbPress.org took 8 hours, with 200k posts, 5 million users in the WordPress.org shared tables, and generous query limits and timeouts between them. The converter itself, works great.

I’m sorry you’re having trouble, and I’m confident you’ll figure it out.

[John James Jacoby]

We do think.

That’s why it works exactly like you describe.

• Per user
• Per period of time you set
• Not forum/topic specific

[John James Jacoby]

Not currently possible without a fair bit of hacking.

WordPress reserves the base for pages and blog posts, should you set your permalinks that way.
