Dear all,

After 18 days of waiting and 2 evenings of coding, I am happy to announce that you can now close forums in v1.0.3 of bbP Toolkit (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-toolkit/)

Hi,

I have an ornery, but hopefully easy to solve problem. When I “create a new topic” in my BbPress forum it posts nicely, but then duplicates that post as the first reply. This makes it look like I posted the same information twice. This happens to every new post. It has been going on forever; I just got tired of it. I think it is a checkbox or something level issue. Does anyone have any ideas please?

Thanks in advance.

WordPress 4.2.5 running OneCommunity theme. Yes, this happens on all themes.

But isn’t that for the wordpress roles? Because that returns 0 users.

The roles I’m talking about are the ones you specify at the bottom of a profile page. Forum roles. Apologies if I wasn’t specific enough.

[Pascal Casier]

Ah ok,

Then how about:
$mykeymasters = get_users( array('role' => 'keymaster') );

Hi Rourke,

If you just want to list them in the backend, you could use https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-manage-subscriptions/

Hi,

Just to close it here in case somebody else would look for it, I have it implemented in bbP toolkit (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-toolkit/). Still need to review Robkk last update, but for now it works.

Hi ChrissiLisa,

You would have to check with the support of that plugin, but from what I know the plugin uses the standard WordPress media library, so images are uploaded where wherever media library is set to do it.

@nmschaller,

In the end, did you manage to get most of the things done ? Just for your info, I see that some things you request are in my bbP Toolkit plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-toolkit/) already and some others (like securing profile page) will be in there soon.

Hi,

I just want to make you aware of an error thrown by WP Debug mode. Everything still works fine though.

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 …\wp-includes\functions.php on line 3622

Hope that helps,

Ben

If you don’t want to add yourself all the functions for the breadcrum, you can find them also in my bbP Toolkit plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-toolkit/).

This is a known bug. This might be resolved in the next release of bbPress though.

There is a workaround listed in the ticket also.

A workaround is to select the topic(s) to restore and use Bulk Action to restore.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2734

[Robkk]

I bet you just closed the topic as well and the color of the text is a gray color that is hard to see.

Use this CSS to fix that.

#bbpress-forums .status-closed,
#bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
	color: #aaa;
}

You do not have to use the bbPress shortcode for registration, you can use alternative plugins for frontend forms if you want.

Do users need to register with the forum first to see the content of a post?

bbPress by default has nothing that would hide the content of a topic post. It will make a whole topic hidden if the forum is private and the user is not logged in, and the topic and forum could also be hidden if it is a hidden forum.

If you want a menu item for registration you can create a custom link to the default WordPress registration form, or if you have another plugin that adds frontend forms you can link to that page if you want.

Question really is: how does a user of the educational material get to see the forum questions/posts?

It really depends on the LMS plugin you might be using with your bbPress forums really. By default though a sticky/closed post should be kind of visible, the gray is hard to see sometimes.

[Robkk]

Use a plugin like this to hide any bbPress pages if the user is not logged in. It hides the bbPress feeds too.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-members-only/

And you do not have to make a topic private if the forum is private. Make sure to make the forums private by going into Forums > All Forums and editing them from there.

Edit: Just saw I pasted the wrong url haha sorry

Hello everyone, I am new to bbpress and slowly working my way around lol

I’ve modified template.php to add the text “You are here:” to the breadcrumbs to match the breadcrumbs for the rest of my site, but I’d prefer to use a function to make these changes instead. The problem is I cannot wrap my head around the proper code and nothing I have found through searching has worked so far.

Can someone help me with this please?
My site: http://www.lissyhunnybee.com/discussions/

I have the latest versions of both wordpress and bbpress and am using the Darling theme which is a child theme of Genesis/Studio Press.

Thanx in advance 🙂

In the forum we have topics which are being used as profiles i wanna use the forum ranks as extra avatar.
I also want to add en avatar which can be uploaded by the user it self.

Hi,
Not sure how far you want to go, but I’m using https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/ to shield forums from unwanted users.

Try running the repair tools one at a time in the WordPress backend in Tools > Forums to see if this can fix that issue.

[Robkk]

@shawnsauce

Was the forum ever in a BuddyPress private or hidden group??
Did you ever use another private group plugin and make that group with the forum private?
Has the forum ever a private or hidden forum??
Does this only happen in your current theme?
Have you tried disabling all plugins except bbPress to see if the issue persists?
Have you tried running the repair tools one at a time in the WordPress backend in Tools > Forums.

Troubleshooting

Also I am testing with this theme and I am not getting this issue, I think there must be some setting somewhere that is making the forum not be visible in the search results.

Hi desert-rover,

Are you looking for a database query to run directly towards the database ? Or are you looking for a piece of PHP code using bbPress and wordpress functions ?

Pascal.

[iJamesPine]

Unfortunately not, only just moved to a VPS server from wordpress managed, and I’d completely forgot to run backups manually. I installed a DB backup plugin yesterday now taking backups every few hours.

Emailed you! Thanks 🙂

[Robkk]

Sorry for the late reply, I just approved your post…because I saw you link to it in your other topic.

The max execution time error is very common to see when running a process that takes an amount of time.

You need to increase the max execution time, you can follow this guide to help you learn how.

http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-fatal-error-maximum-execution-time-exceeded-in-wordpress/

Also the slugs shouldn’t cause that issue.

[reminisce32]

Topics imported but not showing up after importing vB.

You can see topics show up here (http://www.maddengurus.com/topic/madden-2015/) but not here http://www.maddengurus.com/forum/madden-general-discussion/

Also get error in repair screen only when trying to “Recalculate the position of each reply.” Error states: Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in wp-includes/functions.php on line 3207

Browser window also goes blank when I try the following repair alone: Remap existing users to default forum roles

Thanks for any help.

WordPress version 4.3.1
bbPress version 2.5.8

Sorry for the late reply, I just approved your topic.

What I think is happening is somewhat bbPress default styles related and possibly the main font color in your theme. From what I can see you know have a plugin that adds custom styles for the bbPress theme (bbPress New UI), and it does help a little with the issue.

If you want contact me, and I can help you with most of the styling issues you are facing.

No where near that many replies. Here is forum I’m trying to import: http://www.maddengurus.com/forums/forum.php

So last night I remembered I made a backup in Updraftplus plugin before I tried ever imported anything into bbpress, and so I restored it, ran the import as a fresh import, and it seemed like it all worked and then ran into the problem I posted about here: https://bbpress.org/?post_type=topic&p=168081/

So I restored the wordpress database again, and this time decided to check off the purging option just to be safe, and it’s back to doing trying to delete stuff into the millions, ie: Deleting previously converted data (1342100 – 1342199), etc.

So apparently even restoring to a backup before all this happened wasn’t enough to get a fresh start.
