[Webface]

Hello,

WordPress version: 4.8 | bbPress version: 2.5.13

when I try to visit a profile I find myself endig up on the 404 page. It happens with every account but one – mine. Its the oldest account on this installation. But that’s all. I tried it with other Users who got the exact same rights I have and so on but nothing changes.

I tried:
– different themes
– every possible changes in user roles
– deactivating from plugins

But the strange and unique thing in my case is that there is one account that isn’t facing any problems.

I can’t finde a solution. Would be awesome if anybody could help me out with that!

You can test it here: https://netzwerk-schienenlaerm.de/foren/thema/1-phase-der-oeffentlichkeitsbeteiligung-des-eba-im-rahmen-der-eu-umgebungslaermrichtlinie/

Thanks!

I’ve been searching for an answer, that I couldn’t find here. It was actually quite easy to find the solution by myself. But just in case someone need do to this too, this is how you do it:

-> Create a new folder named “bbpress” at the root of your wordpress theme:
/wp-content/themes/YOURTHEMENAME/bbpress/

-> Find the file named “content-single-forum.php” located here:
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-forum.php
and copy into your newly created folder:
/wp-content/themes/YOURTHEMENAME/bbpress/content-single-forum.php

Now bbpress will use this file instead, if your “YOURTHEMENAME” is in use.

-> Open the file under
/wp-content/themes/YOURTHEMENAME/bbpress/content-single-forum.php
Go to line 48, and you should find this:
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>
Comment this line this way:
<?php //bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>

And you’re done! Easy and clean!

Of course you might want to add a button to create a new topic.
You can do it, following these steps:

i don’t know, just clicked update in my wordpress installation… https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/ shows 2.5.13 too btw, last updated 13 hours ago

WordPress 4.8
PHP 7
bbpress 2.5.12
buddypress 2.8.2

I’m using group types on my bbpress/buddypress site. I’ve had to get creative when it comes to breadcrumbs. There was one minor changes to the bbp_get_breadcrumb function that I had to make to make the breadcrumbs work. I copied the function into my functions.php and added a filter. I’m getting an error/notice:

I get the following error when trying to import an existing smf forum using the import tool in the forums.

WordPress database error: [Unknown character set: ‘utf8mb4’]

How do I get past this?

interesting question

I think bbpress just uses the wordpress pretty permalinks, so might be worth trying this plugin to see if you can change the default

Edit Author Slug

I’ve only read the page above, not tried it !

Please do report back if it works (or if it doesn’t)

[Robin W]

Firstly, when a user registers,

bbpress just uses wordpress, so it should work if qordpress is working.

Can you try using http://www.mysite.com/wp-login and see if that works.

Also, when a user logs in, in the login bbpress widget, it still shows the username and password login boxes, but if I go into a sub forum, the widget then shows the users details.

not sure what you mean here. On what page or post do you have this first widget?

[andrew55]

Sorry for all the confusion. I was guessing this was a bbPress issue. After digging and digging, I discovered the issue is actually from this plugin:

You Have a New (BuddyPress) Message

It appears to be creating the paragraph and break, even when there is no message notice present. This is what’s causing the spacing issue. I really like plugin, so I will experiment to see how I can make it work.

Also, did you get my email earlier? Just checking!

[andrew55]

Correct. I checked the page again though, and there is no paragraph or break below [bbp-forum-index]

But of course, I can’t guarantee WordPress isn’t creating something there.

[lesan]

For anyone with the same problem, this works for me:

bbP Members Only

[andrew55]

I found this plugin which seems to do the job:

Real-Time Find and Replace

[Robin W]

ok, for bbpress roles, then my style pack plugin will let you change role names (and a whole lot more)

bbp style pack

go to settings>bbp style pack>forum roles

[andrew55]

Ok, I see now.

Yes, it’s a role we are trying to change. We are doing some whacky things with roles. On frontend of bbPress, sometimes we display bbPress roles and sometimes standard WordPress roles.

I was looking for a method to change how roles are displayed on frontend, without changing the actual name of the role in the database.

For example, instead of “Participant,” is shows as “New Member”

Or, instead of “Subscriber,” is shows as “Student”

Maybe there are different methods to accomplish this for standard WordPress roles and bbPress roles?

Thanks for any suggestions.

[Robin W]

Subscriber is normally a wordpress role and probably isn’t viewed as ‘text’, it will be taken from a function.

are yours showing on the forum pages?

[rideshareguides]

The site looked fine until we updated to WP 4.8. Topics became cramped under forum and received an error message when trying to create a topic or reply to a topic at front end. Same error when trying to access forums at back end. Topics at back end show no topics.

Deleted the plugin, reinstalled and started fresh with a new theme. Still see the same old content and get the same error. This is the error message:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported for strings in /home/rsgtoday/public_html/forum/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/functions.php:1800 Stack trace: #0 /home/rsgtoday/public_html/forum/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(298): bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility(Object(WP_Query)) #1 /home/rsgtoday/public_html/forum/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(323): WP_Hook->apply_filters(”, Array) #2 /home/rsgtoday/public_html/forum/wp-includes/plugin.php(515): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #3 /home/rsgtoday/public_html/forum/wp-includes/class-wp-query.php(1683): do_action_ref_array(‘pre_get_posts’, Array) #4 /home/rsgtoday/public_html/forum/wp-includes/class-wp-query.php(3248): WP_Query->get_posts() #5 /home/rsgtoday/public_html/forum/wp-includes/class-wp.php(617): WP_Query->query(Array) #6 /home/rsgtoday/public_html/forum/wp-includes/class-wp.php(735): WP->query_posts() #7 /home/rsgtoday/public_html/forum/wp-includes/functions.php(955): WP->main(Array) #8 /home/rsgtoday/public_html/forum/wp-admin/includes/ in /home/rsgtoday/public_html/forum/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/functions.php on line 1800

At this point, we would like to get rid of the content that is on the site now and rebuild the forum. The forum site is to be part of a multi-site network of three WordPress sites, so it is critical to get it working. Have read your documentation and will need the right sidebar on the forum.

[Robin W]

If you know when a user does this then if you install

bbP Toolkit

you can go to users>user>subscriptions and unassign them from all forums and topics with a couple of clicks

[danatupserve]

When users link to our posts within a topic or reply, wordpress is embedding the post within the reply via an iFrame. (As in, you can see a preview of the post.

How do we prevent internal links from being embedded while still allowing YouTube etc to be embedded.

Thanks,
Dan

[Robin W]

bbpress uses the worpress login, so that should all work, Just make sure you set the default role to participant in the settings>forums

and to clarify from the WSL documentation

WSL will take the user in a short journey to the selected social network to ask for his permission to access his profile. If he does, and if everything goes as expected, WSL will create a new account for the user if he doesn’t have one already, authenticate him within WordPress, then redirect him back to where he come from.

so it should work.

The user should be allocated the participant role on first login

Just yelling back at me like I am some dumbass that you don’t want something doesn’t get us any further forward.

Now if this isn’t working and you have checked my original suggestion then do please come back with a polite response and I will be delighted to help further.

[andrew55]

We use a membership script integrated with WP and BBP. When users unsubscribe from emails in script, they still get email notifications from bbp (topic replies, etc). This is bad.

It’s easy for us to mass-assign these members to a custom role. Is there a way to prevent bbp from sending emails to these users who have this custom role?

I see here that you can create functions for creating new capabilities (for User Role Editor plugin):

User Role Editor WordPress plugin – Change roles easily

Is there a function, or another method I can use to prevent bbp from sending of all emails for users who have specific custom role?

Thanks for any suggestions!

[Berrie Pelser]

Hi there,

Is it possible to have all “Topics” (so NOT the “Reaction Posts”) made by “Participants” approved (by a bbPress “Moderater”) before they are published?.

I read some post about this and see this plugin: /wordpress.org/plugins/bbpressmoderation/ –> BUT this is 4 years old! I would normaly NEVER use this old versions on a large commercial website. Plus it seems that this plugin let me also approve the reaction posts and this is not workable for us.

I am running WordPress 3.7.5 with bbPress 2.6-rc-3 on PHP 7.1.x With > 200 Forums

Thx in advance for helping me out.

p.s. is this maybe a nice feature for a nex bbPress version say 2.6-rc-4 😉

best regards,
Berrie Pelser – Ber|Art

I have rolled out my blog realoutdooradventure.com. Wow BBPress was so easy to setup and use. No for the hard part. I want people to log via WordPress Social Login and I have set it up for Facebook, Google + and Twitter. Easy Right? How do I get it to finally integrate with BBPress? Because right now nobody can start a Post besides me and that’s no good right?

Any Advice?

[windwardoaks]

windwardoaksontherez.website/ I have created a homeowner’s website with both blog posts and forums. When I activate the bbPress, the blog feed grays out on the home screen and the news link on the menu opens a blank page. Users who login can see the blogs but the public view is missing. I don’t have anything setup restricting the post pages or the forums.

If I deactivate the plugin, then both the logged in members and the public can see the blog posts, but then, of course, I don’t have forums. Any idea what is causing this to happen?

WordPress 4.8, bbPress 2.5.12,
