If you use a Twenty 11/12/13 does it work?

[@niuserre Participant 11 years, 2 months ago]

For those saying they have the same thing, please can you be more specific to help identify the problem?

So versions and theme being used plus the steps you take to produce the error (imagine you’re talking someone on the phone through how to get the same problem you did so they can see it too, imagine they’re not good at this stuff so you have to be really obvious about everything).

Also, are you using bbpress shortcodes in a page to display your forums or not?

[@niuserre Participant 11 years, 2 months ago]

You took them from https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.4.x ?

It says Dutch is 0% complete therefore there are no translations in those files, just the framework for future translations.

And it doesn’t look like this either? http://imgur.com/JZwH63V

This might be affected by theme but there’s normally a Subscribe link, and if you’re already Subscribed then it changes to an Unsubscribe link. Like in the sidebar of this thread, above Favourites and below Last Activity.

[@niuserre Participant 11 years, 2 months ago]

Yay! You’re very welcome 🙂

I’m just a user but I think you need to create a new template in your theme (or child theme) directory called single-user.php

If you have that then the user profile page will use that template.

You can find an example of this template in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/extras

To do this I would:

1. Create a child theme of my current theme if I did not already have one.
2. Create a sub-folder in there called bbpress.
3. Copy the single-user.php file from /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/extras into my new /themename/bbpress folder.
4. Edit the file.

This template also calls other parts from /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bpress which you might also want to modify, in which case you would also copy some other files across for editing. I think it calls content-single-user.php which then calls user-details.php etc.

It is caused by a CSS problem.

.reply a {
display: inline-block;
position: absolute;
right: 0;
bottom: -2px;
height: 20px;
padding: 6px 10px 2px;
font-family: 'BebasNeueRegular',sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-size: .875rem;
font-style: normal;
border-bottom: 2px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
}

When I turn off position: absolute; the name appears.

Another guess… bbp_get_user_id( 0, true, false )

Which translates as:

bbp_get_user_id ([int $user_id = 0], [bool $displayed_user_fallback = true], [bool $current_user_fallback = false])

This functionality is now available in WordPress core. If you edit the post using the WordPress Admin area you can edited the Published date.

[@niuserre Participant 11 years, 2 months ago]

This is a complete guess based on the way it’s done for a reply which is this:

<a href="'.$link.'?pmaction=newmessage&to='.get_the_author_meta("ID").'"><span class="pm">Send for author a PM</span></a>

So I’m thinking get_user_meta("ID") maybe?

[@niuserre Participant 11 years, 2 months ago]

You have <?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?> in your code, which I guess should be <?php bbp_last_topic_permalink(); ?> if you want to link to the topic.

[@niuserre Participant 11 years, 2 months ago]

Bulk Edit is where on the WP-Admin > Forums page you select multiple Forums and use a Bulk Action to edit them. There’s a tutorial (for posts, but it’s the same thing) here: http://wordpress.tv/2009/01/14/using-quick-edit-and-bulk-edit-to-manage-your-posts-in-half-the-time/

But yes, it is on the roadmap for the 2.4.1 release if you’re not in a hurry.

[@niuserre Participant 11 years, 2 months ago]

Yes, you are correct, unfortunately there’s no easy way to do get hidden at the moment. However, I’ve just tried manually reverting the changes from 2.4 that are causing the problem and it looks like that works.

All I’ve done is revert the 3 changes here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5060/trunk/includes/forums/functions.php

I’ve done it fast and dirty by editing core and replacing the new lines with the old ones which you really shouldn’t do if you can avoid it as it will be overwritten next update….but hopefully next udpate will fix the problem anyway. I can’t see it causing problems anywhere else and that code was only changed for best practice I think so should be OK.

[@niuserre Participant 11 years, 2 months ago]

You’re welcome, I hope they can sort it out for you 🙂

[@niuserre Participant 11 years, 2 months ago]

I’m not sure what you’re asking me, when you have the emails working you will have a website that people can join for free. Do you mean that you want to know how to design it to look like the Facebook signup page? That is not something I can help you with sorry!

[@niuserre Participant 11 years, 2 months ago]

I’ve done it using a filter in my functions.php but I’d be interested to know why the above method doesn’t work if anyone can explain please.

My code in case anyone needs it:

function add_clearfix( $classes ) {

	$classes[] = 'clearfix';

	return $classes;
	}
	
	add_filter( 'bbp_get_forum_class', 'add_clearfix' );

[@niuserre Participant 11 years, 2 months ago]

Email problems are almost always to do with your hosting so you either need to contact their support or try one of the plugins for sending mail such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-wp-smtp/ (I have not used this plugin but it has decent reviews, there are other options available if you prefer).

You and the other guy having this problem are both hosted by the same company: iPage. This makes it seem very, very likely that it’s to do with your hosting.

[@niuserre Participant 11 years, 2 months ago]

Just tried it and that doesn’t work, it updates the slug but bbPress doesn’t seem to pull its title from anywhere editable within the admin area.

However, if just changing the word Forums to Classrooms would solve your problem then it can be done via a function. This should work but please note I’m not a developer and I haven’t bug tested this or anything.

http://pastebin.com/uz9Ndb4i

I added this to my WordPress theme’s functions.php (before the end ?>) and it worked. Hope it will for you too!

[@niuserre Participant 11 years, 2 months ago]

Could you just tell bbPress to call it Classrooms instead of Forums maybe? I mean, change the Forum Root Slug under Settings > Forums. (I have not tried this!)

[@niuserre Participant 11 years, 2 months ago]

There is not an easy way to do this, as far as I know.

You could create a private WordPress page/post that is password protected and use a bbpress shortcode to display the forum on that page but anyone who has the direct link to that forum could skip the password.

[@niuserre Participant 11 years, 2 months ago]

@flash120

Does WordPress send you other emails? Like admin notifications of comments?

This sort of thing is usually related to your hosting and their rules for sending email from php applications, it might be a good idea to try them or to try a plugin for mail (like https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-wp-smtp/).

[@niuserre Participant 11 years, 2 months ago]

When I click the Create An Account link at the top of the page it sends me to http://www.2twosix.com/create-an-account-3/ which is a comment form, not registration.

If I click the Register link under the login box, I get http://www.2twosix.com/forum-registration/ which is password protected.

Are you sure people are registering and not just submitting comments?

If it’s not that: Does WordPress send you other emails? Like do you get notifications of comments etc.?

[@niuserre Participant 11 years, 2 months ago]

You can get around the bug with making private/hidden forums by using the Bulk Edit. So on your Forum list in WP-Admin tick more than one forum, choose the Edit option from the dropdown and that will let you set it to private/hidden (you can change one back to public, or delete it completely in the normal way).

[@niuserre Participant 11 years, 2 months ago]

I’m afraid I don’t understand your question, do you mean to make a forum private/hidden so only certain users can see it? Or do you want a single password that you can give to people so they can view your forum using that password?
