Thanks Robkk. Unfortunately, It’s on a corporate intranet and the server we are using is firehost. You wouldn’t be able to log in from where you are and the content is confidential. BBPress would have been good for us regarding creating a forum for the site support. BBPress works well on my localhost on my mac laptop but on the intranet bbpress shuts off wordpress dashboard entirely. I don’t know why. Any more developments I would let you know.

I used your link and installed the plugin and it doesn’t work i am using theme evolve and wordpress 4.2.2 … i thought that maybe it isn’t updated with the current version of wordpress and now it is not showing on the list so i can uninstall it so I manually deleted in in the plugin folder…. any ideas…. it will not let me give you the website link here so I am going to add the page I am working on in my profile info

Hi all
After a lot of digging i´ve found that the only way to translate the Topic Status dropdown strings is via the “bbpress/includes/topics/functions.php”, around line 1963, we have:

function bbp_get_topic_statuses() {
	return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_topic_statuses', array(
		bbp_get_public_status_id()  => _x( 'Aberto',    'Open the topic',        'bbpress' ),
		bbp_get_closed_status_id()  => _x( 'Fechado',  'Close the topic',       'bbpress' ),
		bbp_get_spam_status_id()    => _x( 'Spam',    'Spam the topic',        'bbpress' ),
		bbp_get_trash_status_id()   => _x( 'lixeira',   'Trash the topic',       'bbpress' ),
		bbp_get_pending_status_id() => _x( 'Pendente', 'Mark topic as pending', 'bbpress' ),

i´ve also downloaded the last development version of pt_BR.po from https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev but despite of strings being there they don´t get translated.
Opening the po with a text editor i´ve noticed the absense of the “X-Poedit-KeywordsList: ” which i guess should be something like that:

"X-Poedit-KeywordsList: __;_e;__ngettext:1,2;_n:1,2;__ngettext_noop:1,2;"
"_n_noop:1,2;_c,_nc:4c,1,2;_x:1,2c;_ex:1,2c;_nx:4c,1,2;_nx_noop:4c,1,2\n"

For now i´ll try to add the keywordlist by hand at the top of my pt_BR file. Hope that fixes te issues specially with the _x:1,2c keyword

What could be wrong with the glotpress generator?
Thanks

I have searched and put code together and tested. Now whenever a new post is created in WordPress a new topic is created in a specific sub-forum on my bbPress. This is working great. It brings over the tags and everything.

The one problem I have is that the publish_post action fires every time a post is set to published. So if a post gets set back to draft or pending review, and then published again, another forum topic is created. There are problaby 2097324907629306 ways this can be solved. I am only coming up with some pretty stupid ones I think, so I was hoping someone might have a good idea here.

Here is the code for your functions.php:

function post_published_create_topic( $ID, $post ) {
    $author = $post->post_author;
    $name = get_the_author_meta( 'display_name', $author );
    $title = $post->post_title;
    $permalink = get_permalink( $ID );
    $excerpt = $post->post_excerpt;
    $subject = sprintf( '%s: %s', $name, $title );
    $message = sprintf ('[b]%s[/b]' . "\n" . 'By %s' . "\n\n" . '[i]%s[/i]' . "\n\n" . 'View: %s' . "\n\n", $title, $name, $excerpt, $permalink );
    $tags = wp_get_post_tags( $ID, array( 'fields' => 'names' ) );

    $new_post = array(
        'post_title'    => $subject,
        'post_content'  => $message,
        'post_parent' => 691,
        'post_status'   => 'publish',
        'post_type' => 'topic'
    );
    $topic_meta = array(
    'forum_id'       => $new_post['post_parent']
    );
    $topic_id = bbp_insert_topic($new_post, $topic_meta);
    $term_taxonomy_ids = wp_set_object_terms( $topic_id, $tags, 'topic-tag' );
}
add_action( 'publish_post', 'post_published_create_topic', 10, 2 );

Take that code and put it in your themes functions.php (hopefully you are using a child theme.) The 691 is my sub-forums ID, replace that with the right ID for yours. The format of the post and its content is done on the line that starts “$message = sprintf”.

Now I just need to get it to stop creating a new post every time the same post is published. So far my ideas have been something like matching up the topics title with a string comparison, but that seems a bit heavy. There should be a simpler way and I am just not seeing it right now.

It should work? What WordPress and bbPress version are you using?

You can create me an Admin account so I can see if I can find an issue, you can email me the login details to my email listed here.

Yes I did. When I tried different themes the WordPress dashboard went blank. It seems only my themes work. I tried a different forum plugin and it worked. Kinda disappointed though because I wanted bbpress to work. Seems like there is a problem with bbpress running on the server I’m using

[Robkk]

1. Users are set to be able to edit their posts/replies, and the Edit button does show up, however when they click on Edit it simply goes to 404. Admins also cannot edit via the Edit button without 404.

This can happen also in some default themes like Twenty Fifteen (should work in Twenty Twelve though), but can also be easily fixed by placing the bbPress template files into a child theme.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

2. User profiles are not showing up. Upon clicking on an avatar or manually typing in the profile url (with my username) it returns 404.

Do profiles show up without BuddyPress?

(I also need to figure out how to put an ‘Edit Profile’ button somewhere, but that won’t matter if I can’t fix these other two issues)

Works for bbPress profiles though, I might update it for BuddyPress later.

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

I just found this plugin and it seems to mention some bbPress support

It lists a code example for bbPress here

Hi Am not sure where my other 2 posts went, have posted twice with code, maybe that is the problem the code. My problem is that the replies to topics appear empty.

bbPress 2.5.8 is out. It prevents 2 potential security related issues, and is a strongly suggested update for all bbPress 2.x installations:

* Improved ajax actions
* Improved user query parsing

Check the 2.5 milestone for a comprehensive changelog of fixes.

[beherawr]

Installed bbpress through wordpress and everything is going great except for two problems.

1. Users are set to be able to edit their posts/replies, and the Edit button does show up, however when they click on Edit it simply goes to 404. Admins also cannot edit via the Edit button without 404.

2. User profiles are not showing up. Upon clicking on an avatar or manually typing in the profile url (with my username) it returns 404. (I also need to figure out how to put an ‘Edit Profile’ button somewhere, but that won’t matter if I can’t fix these other two issues)

What I’ve already done:
-Switched to a default theme, didn’t change anything, switched back to Gameplanet theme
-Disabled all plugins except bbpress, problem persisted
-Changed permalink type to something else and then back again, problem persisted

I would greatly appreciate any help that could be offered as I really need this working by next week. If it’s something that involves an in-depth look I’d even be willing to pay someone to help, although I fear it’s probably a simple problem that I’m just overlooking.

This is an s2member problem.

BBpress uses the same database meta_key to store both the wordpress and bbpress names. So there are two entries in the wordpress database

so in usermeta the meta-key against a user for wp_capabilities will be set to something like

a:2:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;s:13:”bbp_keymaster”;b:1;}

I would suggest that in bulk mode, s2member is just overwriting the whole of this value with the new s2member level, thus deleting the bbpress value.

If you post the above to the s2member support site, they should understand the issue

[Stephen Edgar]

Apologies all, this is not a bbPress issue, when bbPress is activated without any other plugins there are no notices, the notices only appear once activating both Yoasts’ WordPress SEO and News SEO plugins.

If you comment out this out of the News SEO plugin file class-meta-box.php

add_filter( 'add_extra_wpseo_meta_fields', array( $this, 'add_meta_fields_to_wpseo_meta' ) );

In the News SEO plugin the issue is resolved and no notices are displayed.

It appears to be related to pre_get_posts being used in WordPress SEO by Yoast, this was picked up in the WordPress Core ticket https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/31231

I am receiving emails from all topics and replies to the forum.
The issue is that I am receiving those to an email address that is no longer and I get them as bouncebacks instead of proper emails.

I cannot find out where the setting to that subscription is. Can someone help me find this?

1) The email is sent to an email address that is not associated to any user in the database.
2) The emails have the “You are receiving this email because you subscribed to a forum topic.” footer.
3) I am getting those emails for all and any content posted to the forum.
4) The emails are sent to an address that is different from the one in “general settings” of the wordpress page settings.

[Robin W]

ok, found the link in your other post.

Posts and comments are a wordpress thing and controlled by wordpress roles
Forums, topics and replies are a bbopress thing and controlled by bbpress roles

You’ll find wordpress roles at the top of a user edit, and bbpress at the bottom

Dashboard>users>all users>edit user and that’ll get you to the screen

and yes functions.php is where you should put it, but generally in a child theme

Functions files and child themes – explained !

[Celtic]

so lets see if it will let me explain the other stuff with out being given an error…

Hi okay so I added 2 more roles by following the link above. The new roles show up and I can choose them in the User’s Profile and almost work with no problem but I am having a few problem. I did not give permission to alter “Posts” or “Comments” for either new role that I created and it is allowing the new roles to change everything about Posts and Comment sections. I did give permission to alter “Forum” in the new role Moderator-FLO but that doesn’t work.

So I checked to see if the regular Moderator role that comes with the plugin allowed for editing of the Forum and it also does not. I don’t know where to go to check the permissions to see if I can change it but I have been searching for the last hour and a half.

I also checked to see if the regular Participant role that comes with the plugin worked like it was suppose to and that one is perfectly fine although I would like to change creating topics temporarily.

In your forum on the link above that I have added I could not find where it says to add the coding, so I just assumed, taking a chance that it would work in the function.php file in my theme. So that is where the coding is located.

Can you tell me where to find the original Moderator permissions that comes with your plugin? Or anything to tell me what I could be doing wrong? These roles are super important to this type of forum and I could use all the help I can get…. This is really my first time working with WordPress but I’ve been doing HTML since 1998 self taught… I have been out of the game awhile.

[Celtic]

Ok so I’ll simplify this a bit:

My Moderator role will not allow any editing of the Forums but will of Topics and Replies. I am able to see the backend WordPress menu and frontend. I also don’t want it to have access to editing Post or Comments in WordPress pages.

My New Role “Moderator-Fol” I can’t access the backend WordPress menu at all to even see what it will let me do or not do. On the frontend login it will not let me create a forum at all, only allow to create, edit, or delete topics and replies.

My New Role “Participant-Fol” Is able to create topics and I would like to be able to turn this off for now until I figure this all out. It can’t access the site through the back end and that is fine. Other then that I am almost ready to go. I am doing this site as a charity for a Mental Health Support Group so I can’t afford any paid for plugins.

Thank you SO MUCH! in advance.

Our forum is open to members only, utilizing private forums and private topics. Something happened and my Participant users can no longer open private topics. Setting aside the “something happened”, how can I verify that my users all have the read_private_topics and read_private_replies capability? If they do not, how can I give them all that capability? We have about 3,000 users, so it cannot be done one at a time.

If they do have read_private_topics and read_private_replies capability, what could be another cause for them being able to see the private categories and forums, but not see the list of topics or see the topics directly?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi guys,

In the passed I created a website with bbpress.
The default bbpress theme was horrible bad readable.
So I found a way to change the theme so it would match my wordpress theme.
After update the theme got reset to the default bbpress theme again.

Now I have created a new wordpress website.
I stumble at the same problem again.

Is there something simple how I can change the bbpress theme (user friendly)
I have been reading forums and this is really giving me an headache, all solution are based on editing files, creating child theme ccs files etc etc, all complicated stuff.

There must be something user friendly to change the default bbpress theme right?
Is does not have to match my wordpress theme, if I can just select something different that would be great.

Friendly regards,

Pascal

It might be that some comment form data is on the template that bbPress is inheriting.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

You can create a bbpress.php and remove any comment code , or you can install this plugin and disable comments and trackbacks on bbPress post types.
