Hi Guys

I have TinyMCE loading in my forum for when people post to it and I’m using a plugin ( https://en-au.wordpress.org/plugins/visual-editor-custom-buttons/faq/) that allows me to add custom buttons to TinyMCE. These buttons appear just fine in the backend when creating posts/pages but the new buttons do not appear in the forum post area.

I have this function in my functions.php for adding TinyMCE in forum.

function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
  
    $args['tinymce'] = array('toolbar1' => 'bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, blockquote, alignleft, aligncenter, alignright, alignjustify, bullist, numlist, outdent, indent, cut, copy, paste, undo, redo, link, unlink, image, removeformat, pastetext',); 
    $args['quicktags'] = false;
    $args['teeny'] = true;

    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

How do I get the buttons created in this plugin to appear in the front end forum area?

Hey guys,
I have the most current version of bbPress installed: 2.5.11
Just installed WordPress 4.7
These Top Level menus are not being displayed due to a “capabilities” issue. Forums, Topic and Replies. ie I do not have sufficient permissions to view those menus or any bbPress menus anywhere.

If I go to the WP Dashboard and click links in the metabox I see this error: Sorry, you are not allowed to edit posts in this post type. I will be looking at forums/capabilities.php and other capabilities.php files to see if I can figure this out, but just wanted to give you a Heads Up about this. Of course this could be isolated to my sites. I deactivated all other plugins and the same issue is still occurring. So it does appear to be an issue directly with bbPress capabilities.

Hi,

I use ZotPress reference manager and the WP plugin. I would like to include the Zotpress plugin’s functionality for searching for the references I have already recorded in Zotpress and then insert them into my topic.

I am just looking how to modify the topic post template in bbpress so that it shows this plugin interface for Zotpress.

I have looked on the forum how to do this, but I cannot find how the bbpress template inserts the plugin interface for other plugins. This plugin’s reference insertion interface shows up in the standard worpress new blog template page fine. I would like to do the same for bbpress topic post template.

I used wordpress 4.6.1 and bbpress 2.5.11. Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Brad

Hello,

I’ve tried to get the forum layout from my website from the standard layout to the bbp-style-pack alternate template layout. Because it didn’t work within the plugin i replied to a topic already started by someone and got in a conversation with @robin-w (see topic here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-style-setup/).

After trying a lot of things nothing worked and i’m still trying to get this working. I’ve put the loop-forums.php in my theme directory, changed it in the editor within WordPress but nothing changed. And this make me concern that something is not right. How is it possible that changes made to this copy of loop-forums.php are not showing?

Is there anyone that can help me out with the layout and with the fact that the edits to the php file are not showing?

Thanks in advance,

Thomas

Hi! We have bbpress installed on a relatively large wpengine-hosted wordpress site. Suddenly, about a week ago, all pages started redirecting back to the homepage. Annoyingly, changing the permalink settings back to “Plain” fixes the issue, but that kills our SEO and breaks all hardcoded links back to our forum. We’ve set it to Plain on our production site temporarily, but need Postname permalinks to work again. On our staging site, you can see how any page does a 301 redirect back to the homepage (example: http://fiverrforum.staging.wpengine.com/categories/welcome/community-rules-guidelines). Wpengine support says that our htaccess files look good and are standard, and insist the problem lies with bbpress. They’re adamant the problem relates to a setting within bbpress or with how bbpress is handling permalinks. I’ve tried disabling plugins to see if it’s a conflict of some sort, and the issue persists. Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated!

theme and bbpress both displaying

you can turn off the bbpress breadcrumbs using

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

or by using the style pack plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

An easy way to find bbpress themes is looking for wordpress themes with their own bbpress template (theme).

To difficult find just a bbpress theme.

You can also use a WordPress default theme and customize your bbpress through child themes or a custom css plugin.

@consultjoseph @siparker Sorry it took me so long to respond to you guys.

I am using the version of this plugin I put on Github in a beta test of a site I’m moving from Joomla to WordPress. I’m using WordPress 4.6.1 and bbPress 2.5.11.6121 and am using a child theme of Twentysixteen.

The biggest thing is that with the version of the plugin I’m using, bbPress Settings need to be adjusted:

1. Go into Forum Settings and set “Forum Root” to “forums”
2. UN-check Forum Prefix – you do NOT want to prefix all forum content the Forum Root Slug
3. Make sure that the Single Forum Slug for “Forum” is “forum”

Next, go into Permalink Settings:

1. Under Common Settings, select “Post Name”
2. Save changes

If you don’t set or RESET your permalinks, you will get 404s! But if you reset your permalinks after activating the plugin, everything will work.

I expect to take my beta site live within a week or so; when I do I’ll provide a link to the permanent live site so you can see the bbPress URLs in action.

Im wanting to add a forum to my wordpress site, I dont know how much it will grow but i want it to be flexible, i’m not a coder or designer, I only know the basics,

I know in the past bbpress had a lot of issue and was lacking in features but i’m assuming this must be possible now.

Im wanting a good looking full featured forum as good as any stand alone forum(xenforo, phpbb, mybb).

can this be done ?
if so how ?
How can I add the extra feature without bloating the site ?
Can i download any pre made bbpress.css ?

any good example

[Thomas_k]

@robin-w

I disabled all plugins except bbpress and still it looks like the standard version.

There are no other loop-forums.php files in my directory. What should i do? I’m really out of idea’s man.

Isn’t there a small chance you can take 10-15 minutes to look trough skype? I’ll give you access to my wordpress.

I’ll include the above in ticket #2963

Thanks for identifying the cause @atmojones, made tracking this down much quicker 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

So the regex we use #([\s>])@([0-9a-zA-Z-_]+)#i in bbp_make_mentions_clickable()

The ([\s>]) is checking for a whitespace character before the @ symbol

The code here below is from using TinyMCE and as you noted @atmojones there’s some non-breaking spaces html entities for the instances when an an even number of spaces preceede the @ symbol:

The root cause is every second space is swapped out with nbsp; which makes sense from a HTML perspective, where this takes place I’m not so sure of, it’s either in TinyMCE directly, or WordPress via wp_spaces_regexp() in wptexturize() (I think it’s the former)

The workaround for bbPress and I suspect BuddyPress also, would be to check for both ([\s>]) and nbsp; preceding the @ symbol

Here’s the results of swapping ([\s>]) for ([\s>;]) (Adding a check for just the semi-colon):

Hi Stephen. WordPress and other plugins update without any problems. I have spoken with my web host. They looked at it and said I needed to contact bbPress support. How does uninstalling bbPress modify the database?

[Stephen Edgar]

Do you have any issues updating WordPRess itself? How about other plugins or themes?

I think you may need to contact your webhost for help with this issue.

I have a WordPress site with inside a BBPRESS forum.

When in the forum (in a topic or reply) I put the link to a Post in my wordpress site, it shows in bbpress the Image, an exerpt, and at the bottom-left there is the name of my site. In the left corner it whows the WordPress logo. Can I remove that logo? How?

[Stephen Edgar]

I would suggest trying it on a local setup using MAMP or XAMP

Then export the forum using WordPress’ “Export” tool, and then the “Import” tool on your site.

p.s I haven’t tested or seen anyone do a Vanilla install for quite a while and sugget you take a close look at the import o make sure it works. Also try bbPress 2.6-alpha, lots of importer improvements, you can get it from here https://bbpress.org/download

@netweb Thanks for the update

Having followed the links, then code is here

The theme used here on bbpress.org is called bbpress-org, the theme used on buddypress.org is called buddypress-org, I see a pattern emerging, the theme used on codex.bbpress.org is called codex-bbpress-org, the theme used on codex.buddypress.org is called codex-buddypress-org, there is a pattern here :shakes fist: ;P

Along with the above, each of those themes is a WordPress child theme, the parent theme is named bb-base, as you can see below per the announcement blog posts all the above parent and child themes and plugins used on all the sites were “open sourced” back in March 2014

Open Sourcing bbPress.org

Open Sourcing BuddyPress.org

The above posts also link to the source repos, there is also a new child theme that is now used on the bbPress 2.x powered https://wordpress.org/support/ forums and an even newer evolution of this theme is being worked on for the updated redesign of the WordPress forums, you can even sneak a peak at the new design by visiting this URL: https://wordpress.org/support/?new-theme=1

The updates to all of the above and the migration of the WordPress Support Forums to bbPress 2.x, rather 2.6-alpha is one of the reasons bbPress 2.6 isn’t out yet, it’s because we’re making sure bbPress 2.6 will be the best it possibly can be, and by deploying it on wordpress.org and the ensued battle testing of it that has been taking place we’ve got a few things to do before we can say bbPress 2.6 is ready to be released.

Ok it was hanging for too long so here what i found out:

on the patch page (https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/3026/3026.patch) you made few mistakes:

1. Line 663 KEY meta_join (meta_key, meta_value) ) {$charset_collate};”;
should finish with ” , ” not ” ;”; ” otherwise it will crash error

2. Line 660 PRIMARY KEY (meta_id),
is duplicated so i guess 660 or 661 can be removed

3. when running import after those changes in wordpress, converter is giving error message:

WordPress database error: [Key column ‘meta_id’ doesn’t exist in table]
CREATE TABLE wp_bbp_converter_translator ( value_id bigint(20) unsigned not null default ‘0’, meta_key varchar(255) null, meta_value varchar(255) null, PRIMARY KEY (meta_id), KEY value_id (value_id), KEY meta_join (meta_key, meta_value) ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci

Btw… im not a coder. No clue about php im just applying some logic to what i see 😉
