In reply to: Import old users without an email / password
Awesome, very neat and clever !
In reply to: target=blank for external links in forumBumping you own question may be not helping you in getting an answer 🙂
There is a fairly small group of people who help on here, and many use the “topics with no replies” button when logging in, so by entering a reply you take yourself off this list, so you don’t get your question seen.
Also you should allow at least a couple of days, as all the helpers on here are volunteers and like the developers of the plugin, no-one is paid to do this, and all have real jobs and family that take priority.
Please keep asking questions, but please have a little more patience 🙂
As to the answer – this looks complicated, and even with the old version, the solutions weren’t easy.
In reply to: 2.5.3 Easy change bbpress title font and colorThanks for sharing, a few small changes can make a big difference !
great !
This plugin may be what you’re after, pippin is usually good, but have no experience of this plugin
https://github.com/pippinsplugins/bbPress-Export-and-Import
give it a try, but backup your database first!
In reply to: Changing the look of ForumsCan you give me a link to the page in question, and I’ll take a look
Ok, sorry yes I get it now !
Try
function hide_before ($args = array() ) { $args['before'] = ''; return $args; } add_filter ('bbp_before_get_forum_subscribe_link_parse_args','hide_before') ;Let me know if it works – it is blank by default, so not sure why your’s has a | in it.
This is related to the plugin/theme your are using that displays “click to receive”.
Which one are you using ?
In reply to: I just want to export/import bbpress to bbpressThe issue is not so much the export/import of the forums/topics and replies
This is available in
Dashboard>tools>export and just select what you want to export. The opposite import to get them in.
However if you don’t have the users on the new site, then they cannot be allocated against them. Can’t remember what it does, I think it just allocates them to admin, maybe with an offer of a choice.
there are several plugins that let you move users for instance
https://wordpress.org/plugins/export-user-data/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/import-users-from-csv/If your into phpmyadmin, you could just move the user tables, but of course that’ll overwrite the new sites, but if they’re just copies, that will be fine.
Back everything up before so you can revert if needbe !
I haven’t directly played with doing this, but suggest you move your users first, the just move the forums, topics and replies
In reply to: Topic title breaks into a 2nd line below topic imageOnce again, you’re welcome, but keep the thankyou’s coming, it’s good to know that efforts are appreciated !! 🙂
In reply to: Forum wont display correctlyI have no connection with Securi, they are a commercial company, and you will need to use your judgement.
I also have no connection with BBpress other than being a volunteer moderator of this site.
BBpress works well with many themes and plugins, but compatibility with all is by no means guaranteed.
In reply to: will bbPress work with Genesis Framework?it should if you use this plugin
In reply to: How to remove certain breadcrumb separatorsYou’re welcome
In reply to: Topic title breaks into a 2nd line below topic imageyou need to alter the css for
“bbp-topic-thumbnail”
it needs float: left;
added to make the text come to the right.
If you don’t know how to do that – come back
In reply to: Recent Thread forum widget show last authorThere are many, many, requests for the topics and replies widgets to show things slightly differently, and most contradict each other.
One day I’ll make a list and see how many can be easily done, and could retire if I charged $5 per solution !
In reply to: REPLY: pre-populate text area with @usernameThis is doable with some code, but obviously no-one has thought it critical enough to code it – sorry !
In reply to: Import old users without an email / passwordAaron,
Hmmm… 🙂
How many accounts are we talking about?
How are users going to re-register?
If auto the system won’t let you have two usernames the same, so you’d need to change your existing usernames to say have a character in front eg x_john smith (sql loop through user database would do that). Then brief your users to register with their existing username eg just john smith.
The as before, once they have registred (you get an email to say that each one has), you could run a process to convert.
You could do this as they register – a loop to go through wp_posts looking for old author ID and replace with new author ID, or you could automate and run daily/weekly to say go through wp_users and create an array of usernames without the x_ (that would be users who have re-registred) . Then go through that array and pick up the old id’s. You then have a conversion list 9new id vs old ID, and can run that through wp_posts.
None of this is pretty, but all quite do-able.
You could write a registration process that lets them re-use the username, and then automatically change the ID in WP-posts, but that would be kinda dangerous, as I could register as you, and get all your posts allocated to me.
The real solution if you don’t have tons of users is to go for a manual registration process, you can of course let then use the same username, as you can then generate a user with a php programme straight into the database.
Nothing pretty or easy !
But a solution is there somewhere !
Great, glad you’re fixed !
In reply to: Missing repliesNo problem, I often spend hours looking for the obscure, only to find it’s a simple solution !
Glad you’re fixed !
This warning is contained in three templates all in
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/tempates/default/bbpress/form-forum.php
form-reply.php
form-topic.phpYou can create a folder in the root of your theme called ‘bbpress’ and copy these three themes to it, and then alter this text to read whatever you like, or remove it.
Or you could add the following code to your functions file
//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) { if ( $translated_text == 'Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML' ) { $translated_text = 'new text'; } return $translated_text; } add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );Just make ‘new text’ whatever you want.
or you could probably get you function to do something, but I don’t offhand know what you’d need to do.
In reply to: Missing repliesLooks like it’s wider than just bbpress from this post.
http://evidentiasoftware.com/forums/topic/object-stores-not-found/
Have you added/upgraded any software lately?
Ok, first I’d check plugins and theme to discount these.
Check other plugins
Check that no other plugins are affecting this.
Turn off all other plugins apart from bbpress, and see if that fixes the problem. If the problem is resolved, add back one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.
Check themes
If plugins are not the cause, then it may be a theme issue. Switch to a default theme, such as twentytwelve, and test.
come back if that doesn’t pinpoint your problem.
In reply to: Want to change default forums templatesYes absolutely.
1. A child theme is great because it preserves your changes
2. Yes put the file in there – the child theme is your theme, so yes changes to bbpress templates should go in a bbpress directory in the theme folder.Do come back if you have further queries !
In reply to: increase font sizeGreat, glad my memory’s still there!
In reply to: Changing the look of ForumsOk, on your first :
This is to do with your theme and it’s page templates, not bbPress directly.
what you will need to do is create a bbpress.php file and into that put the page layout
see
for creating a bbpress page to use
Then see
http://brookswebdesign.net/how-to-create-a-wordpress-template-with-left-sidebar/
for creating a left hand sidebar.
On your second, this is either
related to your theme and how it is displaying content. Switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve for a moment and see it is it then displaying – in default all with not be indented.
or
maybe because you are using threading on dashboard>settings>forums>reply threading
Let me know which, and I’ll take a lokk to see how to get all to ident
In reply to: How to remove certain breadcrumb separatorssee
From memory I think $args[‘sep’] = “>” would be what you are looking for
so for instance
function mycustom_breadcrumb_options() { $args['sep'] = '>>'; return $args; } add_filter('bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'mycustom_breadcrumb_options'would give a double chevron.
If that doesn’t work, come back and I’ll look it up.
