Hello!
Is it possible to link WordPress user role with bbpress user role?
For example, I have users on WordPress who are “subscribers”, but if they stop paying they automatically go to “customers”.
I would like to automatically convert a “customer” in WordPress to “locked” in bbpress.
This is possible? how?
Thanks!!!

One last question @pipipi07: What was the previous version of WordPress you had?
thx.

Hi there,

I’ve updated the plugin BB Press to the latest version (2.6.1), but the subforums display situation isn’t solved (We have 2 forums (Defense of the ancients & Legion Tower Defense) with subforums associated – The 1st one displays them in a incorrect way, and the 2nd doens’t display at all)

Tried searching the previous topics, but coulnd’t find any information regarding it (after the release of 2.6.1)

Thanks in advance

Wordpress: version 5.3
BBPress: version 2.6.1
Website: https://firstbloodgaming.com/forums/ (which is the affected page)

If default=21, I was able to input 7 characters in Japanese!
Apparently, 18-20 can be up to 6 characters, 21-23 can be up to 7 characters, 24 can be up to 8 characters in Japanese. This was a new discovery!

When bbPress was changed to 2.6, wordpress was upgraded to 5.3 as well. As you say, it may have an impact. I will try a little more to find out what’s wrong.
For the time being, I decided to set 60 instead of 20.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Subforums are not listed.

The subforums not being listed will be fixed in 2.6.1.

A few more questions:

• Using any caching plugins?
• Using any SEO plugins that might be interacting with CSS files?
• Using a right-to-left language?
• Overriding any constants? (WP_CONTENT_DIR, WP_PLUGIN_DIR, WP_THEME_DIR, etc…)

Anything else about your WordPress installations you can share?

The only related change I can find, is: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3012

If you’re able to edit that file in bbPress directly, and revert it back, and test, that would be super helpful to confirm or disconfirm if that does it.

Different themes use different styling for different reasons.

If I recall correctly, Twenty Seventeen does not use the text-decoration attribute, but rather uses some kind of text-shadow or bottom-border. It’s a weird anomaly with how that theme decided to do things.

It’s nearly impossible for bbPress to work perfectly with all themes, but we do try to keep the default styling working well with the themes that come bundled with WordPress.

This should be solvable with a bit of custom CSS. I’ll create a Trac ticket and see if we can bring this back for you with this theme specifically.

[John James Jacoby]

This will be fixed in bbPress 2.6.1.

See: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3280

[John James Jacoby]

This will be fixed today in 2.6.1. Sorry for the trouble!

Hi,

I’m currently using BuddyPress, bbPress, and Image and video gallery from Google Drive (all are latest updated). The plugin “Image and video gallery from Google Drive” provides a shortcodes is [sgdg path=”MyPath”]. I tried installing “bbPress – Do Shortcode” and it worked. However, the javascript file for loading is missing. Anyone can help me out please?

[stevehammatt]

When I upgraded to bbPress 2.6.0, the links in my forums (e.g. topic names, links in posts) don’t show up underlined any more like they used to. So they’re not obviously links any more, which seems to be a usability issue. This is with WordPress 5.3.

I haven’t changed anything to do with the theme/appearance.

[Pascal Casier]

If you change 20 to 21, are you able to put 7 Japanese characters?
Just thinking of the multibyte characters, Japanese characters might be using 3 characters.

If it works, then for now you could change from 20 to 60, but that would mean that somebody can put 60 English characters of course…

To be honest it seems strange that this happens because of the switch of bbPress as the functions in 2.5 and 2.6 look the same. Are you sure it’s not because of a switch of WordPress to a higher version or another change?

I have no other ideas unfortunately…

The new bbPress 2.6.0 update implemented yesterday breaks the forum index displayed with the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode.

1. The above shortcode used to display two levels, not one on bbpress 2.5.14 before the update.
2. The problem happens on three different sites, so it is not a plugin compatibility issue.
3. The problem was reported during the 2.6.0 development cycle but ignored:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subforums-not-showing-after-upgrade-from-2-6rc5-to-2-6rc7/

4. The forums that are displayed are and always have been propertly set to display two levels in the index:

Showing parent forums and subforums (categories) in forum root: How?

What I would recommend is modifying bbpress to implement a parameter after the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode such as “showlevels=1-2” or the like. That way users can control how many levels of the hierarchy are displayed in the index.

This is clearly a bug in 2.6.0 that needs to be fixed. When will it be fixed?

Hello there

I’ve run into an issue with updating our website’s forum from 2.5.14 to 2.6.

We have been using a set of wp roles as additional forum roles on our site for about 2 years now to allow us to have more tiers of membership and administrator roles visible in the forums rather than the standard 5. This has worked fine up till now but when we apply the 2.6 update these roles are no longer recognised as additional forum roles, though they still exists as wordpress roles.

I’m not entirely sure how these roles were initially flagged as forum roles, but they were simply created by duplicating the existing forum roles and then renaming them.

I’ve checked the functions.file for our child theme and there’s nothing in there that would be assigning them so I’m assuming it’s because of differences in the capabilities-php file where some of the previous capabilities are listed as deprecated in 2.6.

Any idea how we can fix this as currently we’re unable to upgrade until we can retain the roles.

Thanks for your assistance in this matter.

I looked at my local dev version of my website, and just updated the plugins without updating to wordpress 5.3 and it broke, so its actually the BBPress plugin itself updating that broke itself?

[Tom]

Wordpress automatically updated to 5.3 and broke the forums showing any threads/forums, the title still shows for the forum you are trying to show.

What on earth happened?
I’ve never had BBpress break on wordpress update in 7 years.

after upgrading from 2.6 rc 5 to 2.6 one of my plugins stopped working, with the fatal error Call to undefined function bbp_get_version(). I can’t figure out why, from what I can see that function still exists?

In using bbstyle pack, when I have it set to have edit profile in the menu, it refers to this link…
/users/*username*/edit
… but I end up with an error page…
“Sorry, This Page Is Gone.
The page you are trying to view no longer exists or has been moved. You may try the search form below to find it.”

I also tried the bbstyle pack shortcode [bsp-profile] and same result as above.

You asked on another thread…
What have you got set for dashboard>settings>forums>forum user slugs>user base ?
It is set to the default… I never changed it…
users

I found an old plugin as a workaround, but I would rather not add another plugin, especially one that is not updated for the past two years…
/plugins/bbp-profile-link-shortcode/

When I use that plugin, it works fine for profile edit… I put their shortcode in a sidebar widget… and it refers to this link…
/users/*username*/
… this link works to reach Profile.

Here is the problem…

I have my wp in a sub folder of the domain, WordPress Address (URL).
And, the Site Address (URL) is the domain root.

bbstyle pack is using the WordPress Address (URL) … adding the folder to the link string … and not the Site Address (URL)…like this…

/domain/folder/users/*username*/edit
… this will not work… “Page is Gone”

/domain/users/*username*/edit
… this works.

Is there a way to change the setting for bbstyle package to use the Site Address (URL) as opposed to the WordPress Address (URL)?

this will let you change text if you need it – not as good as having an ‘accepted translation’ but better than English

add_filter(  'gettext',  'rew_bbpress_translate', 20 , 3  );
add_filter(  'ngettext',  'rew_bbpress_translate' , 20 , 3 );

function brexit_translate( $translated, $text, $domain ) {
	if ($domain == 'bbpress') {
     $words = array(
                        
                        'Topic' => 'New-word',
                         'topic' => 'new-word',
         );
     $translated = str_replace(  array_keys($words),  $words,  $translated );
	}
     return $translated;
}

just change what you need and add to in the middle section

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

Hi,
I created this plugin that works with v2.5 in a single site environment. I did not test it yet with v2.6! But if it can give ideas, I just leave it here:

Confirmed. Broken in https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3232, which I’ve reopened and will get fixed in 2.6.1. Sorry about that!

If you are using bbpress plugin in your wordpress account bbpress plugin will update you once they have latest bbpress version update

[Robin W]

since bbpress just uses the WordPress avatar system, then anything that allows users to upload should work

https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/avatar/

simple local avatar looks like it is worth looking at
