Can you share your code for how you’re defining your custom roles please?

If you’d rather keep the code private you could join the #bbPress channel in Slack

This has already been fixed for the upcoming bbPress 2.6

OK. Well after some harrowing attempts to rebuild from older versions of bbPress and WordPress I ended up reverting back to the most recent of both, 4.7 and 2.5.12, respectively.

And presto! Everything is now as it should be. WTF?!

Maybe something got fouled up in the DB conversion or I simply needed to kick something loose.

Anyway, nevermind.

Thanks.

hi, i just downloaded and trying to set up a bb press.

then i had error. it says

Warning: sprintf(): Too few arguments in …/blog/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/topics.php on line 943

line 943 is

`// Topic submitted
8 => sprintf( __( ‘Topic submitted. <a target=”_blank” href=”%s”>Preview topic</a>’, ‘bbpress’ ), esc_url( add_query_arg( ‘preview’, ‘true’, $topic_url ) ) ),`

Hi,
I noticed textarea for newtopic description is generated using bbp_the_content function. I.e., not available in form-topic.php site specific copy.

• bbPress 2.5.11
• WordPress 4.6.1
• site (internal)

If this is worth your time, how do I add placeholder attribute in the following list, without breaking the upgrade mechanism? I mean if it is a five minute job for any of you. Otherwise I can spend my own time to work around it using css… it’s nagging me that you all would not have forgotten to allow for this …reasonably important thing… I think.

	function bbp_get_the_content( $args = array() ) {

		// Parse arguments against default values
		$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'context'           => 'topic',
			'before'            => '<div class="bbp-the-content-wrapper">',
			'after'             => '</div>',
			'wpautop'           => true,
			'media_buttons'     => false,
			'textarea_rows'     => '12',
			'tabindex'          => bbp_get_tab_index(),
			'tabfocus_elements' => 'bbp_topic_title,bbp_topic_tags',
			'editor_class'      => 'bbp-the-content',
			'tinymce'           => false,
			'teeny'             => true,
			'quicktags'         => true,
			'dfw'               => false
		), 'get_the_content' );

Here is what I am trying to do, i.e., add the words “… and a short description of the topic here.” in the blue area.

@senatorman we’ve got a few more fixes in the pipeline tht have been implemented as part of wordpress.org/support also switching to bbPress 2.6-alpha

FYI: Some quick w.org/support stats: ~2.5 million topics, ~6 million replies and ~8 million users

So I am using bbpress alongside buddypress. This is great because running a little gaming community, it is awesome having the ability to use the widely know traditional forums as bbpress offers them while adding some great social features brought by buddypress.

Now I’ve done my research and figured out that bbpress relies on the wp profile informations (since well wp and bbpress work great together). Aside of that, there is some synchronisation between buddypress and wp profile informations.

What I’d like is be able to use only one avatar for both plugins. bbpress fetches the wp profile avatar while buddypress as one on its own. So my idea is to fetch buddypress’s image when displaying the user’s avatar on the forums.

I tried to search for documentation on this and didn’t find much. I ended up digging the plugin code and stumbled upon, while looking in the /plugins/bbpress/includes/users/template.php file, bbp_current_user_avatar() which uses bbp_get_current_user_avatar() that calls get_avatar() with the desired size and user id.

So I guess the obvious step is telling bbpress to look for the buddypress profile image rather than use this get_avatar() function, which I suspect is fetching the wp profile image.

But I am stuck here, mainly because I am new to wordpress, also to php. I should be able to sort myself out with some indications (how and what to use) or even some pseudo code.

I want to do this because I want people to not use their wp profile (there is not much there anyway) and rather go through their buddypress profile only.

Thank’s in advance for any help.

I just did the WordPress 4.7 update and noticed that the links to BBPRESS topics and replies are no longer in the menu.

Has something changed?

[akgt]

Few more small issues marked in red on the image attached.

1. when creating a new topic, why does the title bar show in another language ?
2. how can I keep the wordpress header and footer the same width as it should be, using this theme it becomes narrow ?

3. how can I change or remove the logo at the top and drop the search bar down under the nav bar or have it in the side bar under create new topic.

@cmistico Could you create a new ticket for us to track this for you please.

If you could include what version of HHVM you are using and any errors messages you see, also anything that you think will help us replicate your issue would be great.

Hi all,
I have this site
http://www.analisidelsangue.net with bbpress forum here

Dubbi sulle tue analisi? Fai una domanda sul forum

(about 5k users and 20k post and replies)

After switch to wordpress 4.7 I don’t see more the replies of forum in my backend

But I’d like to use HHVM because my blog is faster
Please can you help me in some way?

Please keep an eye on https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3028 (Or #bbPress in Slack)

I’m actively trying to resolve the as we speak and will post updates to that ticket

[Valery Kondakoff]

Ok, have found this:

The repair tool “Recalculate private and hidden forums” has a bug in it 🙁

When that repair tool is run private and hidden forum are assigned both _bbp_private_forums and _bbp_hidden_forums statuses so this is why a user with the Participant role could not read a private forum as after that tool had been run it was also been given the hidden status also.

The workaround for this is to do exactly what you did by “changing each forum from Private to Public back to Private” as this doesn’t touch the broken repair tool and sets the visibility status correctly.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2512

So, “changing each forum from Private to Public back to Private” fixed my issue.

[Robin W]

yes use my private groups plugin to set visibility public

ran the wp update – never had your problems.

my problem was: couldn’t see the forums in wp-admin and that was sorted by installing simple plugin “User Role Editor” as suggested here by Cydrop: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cannot-see-forums-tab-in-wordpress-dashboard/#post-140838

I have the same issue. I updated to wordpress 4.7 and lost settings and capabilities from my admin users. All are keymaster.

I created a new admin account and they has all privileges and capabilities. Tabs (Forums, Replies, etc.) are back for this account but not in others.
