sorry my last post in response to the previous one.

so I have my screenshots in /trunk and have given up on /assets.

Yes you can commit to a tag directory – tortoise svn puts up a warning (don’t know what other svn’s do) , and you don’t want to do that for anything that changes functionality, as otherwise some people have it and some don’t, but I do for readme.txt and no reason why you shouldn’t add a screenshot to a tag rather than release an update.

Wordpress actually recommends committing to a tag for a readme.txt when wordpress goeds up a version to say your compatible with it.

Hey guys.

I’ve tried searching about this but not really been able to find a definitive answer, especially for my own situation.

I currently have a live site, where users NEED to use WordPress default domain.com/author/username

Currently when you go to the profile of a poster in the bbPress forum it takes you to a different user page domain.com/user/username

I need this to direct to domain.com/author/username as the default WordPress profile contains information about the user (feedback ratings, post details + more – its a classified site).

Now I’m not 100% fussed on whether the domain.com/author/username page displays post details, as the ‘forum’ I’ve having is a single forum and more like a general chat area of the site. I’m not looking to setup a fully fledged forum.

However the most important thing is having their profiles direct to their author page instead of their bbPress user page.

If there is code I can place in the author.php file (WordPress one) that will check their bbPress details regarding their posts, that would be great. I’ve tried copying the code from bbPress user-profile.php but that didn’t work.

Can any one offer any assistance? I’d deeply appreciate it.

Thanks

bbPress: Version 2.5.8
WordPress: Version 4.4.2
Website: http://www.airsofttrader.co.nz (You can see the example of author pages, however bbPress is not installed on the live site – its installed locally.)

Hello interwebs, I just made my wordpress site. I’m looking to add a forum on the site, but I’m not pleased with the theme that I got, so I’m looking to change it. I would like to make a forum attached to my site that looks like this. http://forums.a10talk.com/

ps I’m not very tech savy so if I left anything out let me know

Thanks

[Pascal Casier]

It’s not on the wordpress.org server for sure. You did not commit (or not correctly).

Sup guys,
im currently working on a WordPress based Gaming-Theme and want to change a few of BBpress Templates.
Unfortunatly bbpress dont like the take the changes and always falls back to the default ones.

My Theme folder looks like this:
%mythemename%/bbpress/%template_files_here%

but everything i change here wont update…
So, im a doing something wrong with the bbpress folder there or is it just my dumbness ?

I did get a blocked message at first from a user agent blocker on gronboekoby site, now it leads to the default WordPress login.

@mimbelli Here is the list of plugins, these could be about 7 plugins in total if you want to do the free route, or 4 plugins in total if you only want to use BuddyPress and GD bbPress toolbox (paid plugin)

• extended user profile – BuddyPress (also able to add more social network type features)
• private messaging – Front End PM/bbp-messages/BuddyPress
• user signature – GD bbPress tools/custom code using user description from user profile, or x profile field from BuddyPress
• attachments with inline images – Image upload for bbPress
• quote replies – GD bbPress tools
• report – bbPress report content
• view unread content – bbPress pencil unread

User signature, hot/new/sticky topics (labels/icons??), post count and join date, visual preview could be possible using a small piece of custom code and using bbPress hooks to display them.

@elovkoff

Use an inline image uploader, so at least the html of the image would be present in the post content box. GD bbPress attachments may have something for inline image uploading, but I think in the pro version.

This plugin is a good and simple inline image uploading plugin.

if ultimate member had user groups, then you can use

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

to make the forums group specific

[Stephen Edgar]

Kind of thinking that 80 forums/sub-forums might be the cause… That *is* a lot of forums even for a pretty big site.

Maybe install these two plugins to help narrow things down:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor-bbpress-buddypress-conditionals/

I tried starting a new forum at another site and got the same problem. This has the basic wordpress theme and no plugins.
http://www.gronboekoby.se/forums/

1. Open new browser and goto http://www.gronboekoby.se/forums/ or http://www.ecoby.se/forums/
2. Try to login with login fields – Does not work
3. Enter wordpress login http://www.gronboekoby.se/login/ or http://www.ecoby.se/login/
4. Repeat step 2 – Works!

Really annoying. Could it have something to do with the web hotel?

Hello,
I am using this plugin.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbresolutions/
Is there a way to create a link to all topics that are Unsolved?

Thanks.

[aduggan]

I tried about 6-8 themes and they all have the same result. Ok, if its just a theme issue then don’t worry. I thought it went deeper than that. I guess WordPress themes are not tweaked for bbPress so this is likely to occur with most themes and need a manual edit.
I am still in the process of testing before moving site so lots of other things to iron out yet.
Thanks.

[mimbelli]

As I said I’m a WP newbie trying to understand how everything works. These are my considerations so far. I do not want to hurt anybody.

After a couple of days of testing I’m really going insane trying to get a minimum acceptable installation.
While I understand that acceptable is a moot concept, I mean “similar classic feature of all free forum scripts out there” I’m not speaking about cutting edge features but really standard forum features since phpBB 2 hence:

• extended user profile
• private messaging
• user signature
• post count and join date below username
• post preview
• attachments with inline images
• quote replies
• report
• sticky, new, hot for topics
• view unread content

Now I understand that all of them can be obtained through 10 different plugins but I’m really scared to do so for these reasons:

• 10 different plugins and authors are very difficult to maintain. Chances something screw up are high, no matter how godd is the code.
• some of plugins implementing above features seems already nearly abandoned
• In one of my past life I was so naive to dope my Joomla installation with several third party mambot/plugins. When I had to upgrade I discovered that several of them where abandoned giving me a hege PITA to upgrade
• In a recent life I avoided to dope my IP Board installation with plugins but during a main upgrade I had the same problem with some mods I made by myself

Now I’m trying to bring everything to wordpress + bbpress but I see that it is a steep climb just to get what in 2016 is considered a forum with basic features. I’m not a developer otherwise I was already coding the missing pieces.

Please: less plugins – more core features

[Pascal Casier]

Not sure where you have put the screenshots, but I don’t see them : https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/tk-bbpress-stats/

They should go into the assets folder there. I normally use png, but I suppose jpg is possible too. And as Robin says: all lowercase !

WordPress 4.4.2
bbPress Version 2.5.8
link of my site

im having a issue with the login widget of bbPress. whenever i login as an admin it works fine, than it redirects to the forum again. but when i login with any other user it redirects me to the homepage instead of the forum. i want that all the users redirect to the forum again. can anyone help me out?

thanks

[Robkk]

This issue is theme related, because bbPress is just inheriting the CSS styles from the themes stylesheet. Same thing with the other themes, there are just some styles that could affect some classes in the code that can make the layout look different.

In the theme compat code in bbPress, has it where you can use default WordPress conditionals like is_single() which should show up for each single forum and topic, and is_archive() for the forum archive (forum root page) and topic archive (usually at yoursite.com/topics or forum root).

So while you did create a single forum page using shortcodes as an easy to do workaround, as the code for the “indentation” is created by your themes CSS and only for single pages using ,while you created a simple page. When you enter the normal forum url in 2016 you will see the same “indentation” you see on topics.

You are on the money on what CSS to use to fix the issue, there is just some media queries that you need to add is all. There will be a slight margin to the right around 700px width when the sidebar goes under the content, but a page has that same margin in your theme and for consistency I just say leave it in.

This CSS should help your help solve your issue.

@media screen and (min-width: 61.5625em) {
.bbpress .entry-content {
  float: none;
  width: auto;
}
}

Hello,
I would like to know how to add some text before the BBPress new topic box. Like here for example, it gives some instructions on what to include to help out the process of getting support. Here is an image from wordpress.org support showing the tips above the new topic form.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_h6oU4LzDtlWXdyd1NXTU9NNHM/view?usp=sharing
Any ideas on how I can do it?

Thanks.

I found this php script online, can anyone suggest if this is safe to empty the trash?

$strSql="SELECT ID FROM wp_posts WHERE post_status='trash'";
 
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","my_wordpress_user","my_db_pass","my_wordpress_db_name") or die("Error connecting");
$result = mysqli_query($con, $strSql);
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){
 printf($row['ID']."\n");
 }
mysqli_close($con);

php findtrash.php > trash.txt

$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","my_wordpress_user","my_db_pass","my_wordpress_db_name") or die("Error connecting");
$file = fopen("trash.txt", "r") or exit("Unable to open file!");
while(!feof($file)){
  $intId = fgets($file);
  $result = mysqli_query($con, "DELETE FROM wp_posts WHERE ID=".$intId);
  $result2 = mysqli_query($con, "DELETE FROM wp_postmeta WHERE post_id=".$intId);
  if($result && $result2){
        printf("Deleted id ".$intId);
        }else{
        printf("Results not positive".$result." ".$result2." for ".$intId." ");
        }
  }
fclose($file);
mysqli_close($con);

Thanks for the test. I have the same issue on 2016, so I created trac ticket https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2921
Let see if something can be done, for now you will have to live with the CSS trick above

Hi @casiepa,

Unfortunately, the site became slow gradually in around 12 hours, until it won’t just load anymore. I tried with even managed WordPress hosting who did some fine tuning but it still won’t work. I am in kind of a desperate situation where I am losing my visitors of more than 7 years.

I am willing to hire any expert to resolve this issue if possible.

Thanks, T

[luckyluuk]

OK it seems to work only if you been to the wordpress logon screen. When i restart the browser i cannot login. I have now added a button to login via wordpress logon screen. If i click it, then back the login BBpress login fields work! so strange!

[Shovan]

Hi I am getting the same error, has any one got fix for this?

Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /srv/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3792
