Hi,
A weird thing is happening on the main site of my WordPress Multisite installation where bbPress is used for the support pages.
The forum plugin was activated with the main Super User account (with ID #1) on the main site. Forums where created without problems and the user got Key Master role.
But since then, that super user has been replaced by another account promoted to Super User. The account with ID #1 has been ‘demoted’ to site admin on the primary site where it is now used only for publication of pages and posts. That account visibly still has Key Master role for the forums but…
When logged in with that account, none of the forum admin pages are accessible.
What is going wrong? How can I use a normal site admin to manage forums and topics. I’d like to prevent usage of the Super User account for public type actions like posting and the like…
Are you also using this plugin? https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/
Maybe disable that also if you are.
Firstly, that field is the ‘Post ID’ and everytime WordPress creates a post, page or bbPress topic, reply etc this gets incremented. This issue could happen ‘if’ there were 100 edits to a WordPress post, page or bbPress topic etc, though I think you might have mentioned that if that was the case.
I would suggest the quickest way to see what is going on would be in ‘phpMyAdmin’ and have a look at the wp_posts table and have a look at the ID field in this table, these will match the ID’s you mention above and then you can look at the id’s in betwwen those values and the other fields should give you an idea of what content is in those posts which will help you track down the issue.
This could be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.
Hello!
I’m currently setting up a bbPress forum on my WordPress website and I have one problem.
The “Submit” button is not recognizeable as “Submit” button because the colours are not strong enough.
Here is what it looks like:
If there is some sun shining on the computer screen, the “Submit” button can’t be seen at all. 🙁
So can someone please help me? I want to change the main colour of the button to slightly darker gray while the text in it saying “Submit” should be black.
How can I change the button colours?
(Please keep explanations easy. I don’t really know much about CSS and such.)
WordPress version: 3.8
bbPress version: 2.5.1
Hi, i need some help!
I run my mainsite with frontend registration and frontend user profiles like: xxxxxxxxx.com/user/anyusername
I also installed bbpress and ONLY ALLOW USERS TO REGISTER FROM THE MAINPAGE – mentioned above.
I show the Forum in a page wiht the shortcode… the forum url is: xxxxxxxxx.com/forum/
SO far it works great!
My setting for the forum user profile slug is like that:
xxxxxxxxxx.com/forum/mitglied/anyusername (“mitglied” is for “user” in german)
My Question 🙂
In the users FORUM PROFILE page i have on the left site under the users Profile the menu links. The first of them links to the users FORUM PROFILE like:
xxxxxxxxxx.com/forum/mitglied/anyusername
Now i need the same URL LINK to the users MAINSITE PROFILE wich should be like:
xxxxxxxxxx.com/user/anyusername
IN …..bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php it calls the url for the USERS FORUM PROFILE with this line of code:
<a class="url fn n" href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url(); ?>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( "%s's Profile", 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'display_name' ) ); ?>" rel="me"><?php _e( 'Profile', 'bbpress' ); ?></a>
How can i get the users MAINSITE PROFILE URL? (xxxxxxxxxxx.com/user/anyusername)
I cant find anything in the bbpress and wordpress docs 🙁 or im not intelligent enough to find a solution… i think to remove the slugs from the url is not possible to get a desired url structure for the link. I think there must be a other filter function for the users MAIN SITE PROFILE url…???
I think i must mention this:
I already managed to show the USERS AVATAR from the MAINSITE in the forum page with this code:
<?php $user_info = get_user_by('id', $wp_query->query_vars['author']); echo get_avatar($user_info->ID, '150'); ?>
The avatar call works great – hope it is possible to get the USERS PROFILE URL too 🙂
Thank you so much!
I am using WordPress 3.8 and bbpress 2.5.1. I am also using GD bbpress attachment version 2.0 for attachments.
The problem I am experiencing is that whenever I click “add another file”, the page simply reloads but not allowing me to upload another file.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eugene
I’ve just upgraded wordpress to 3.8 and the problem persists. Other than the bbPress plugin I only have 2 others in my install: wp-no-category-base and google-sitemap-generator. I have tried disabling these and it makes no difference.
For now I have added links to this topic in #2397, it is not specifically the same bug though it is closely related.

As far as I can see it all looks ok. Presume you have permalinks and that the forum slugs set as directed.
If so try this – sometikes the bbpress sidebar doesn’t quite get there.
Deactivate bbpress tweaks
Dashboard>plugins>bbpress tweaks>deactivate
Go into widgets
Dashboard>appearance>widgets
And look at the bottom of the left hand side. You’ll see an “inactive sidebar”, with your entries on
Below this is an “inactive widgets”
Drag all the entries from the inactive sidebar to the inactive widgets area.
This then allows wordpress to delete the sidebar
I normally log out and in again at this stage – probably not needed, but I’ve never bothered to check
Then basically reverse the above
Re-enable bbpress tweaks
You see the bbpress sidebar returns
Drag the entries back from the inactive widgets area to the sidebar
If this works, come back and let me know
У меня установлен WordPress3,8. Что надо сделать чтобы пользователи моего форума (на моем сайте http://malenkij-mir.ru/) могли в сообщение вставлять фотографии. Что для этого надо сделать?
I have installed the latest bbpress plugin to my wordpress site. There isn’t a single tab or subcategory to be found in my dashboard that relates to BBPress. I keep reading about this forum tab but its nowhere to be found on my dashboard. I hope someone can shed some light on this 🙂
I would recommend a captcha for posting, unless you love to get hundreds of spam posts a day
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-recaptcha/
This is a start…
https://gist.github.com/ntwb/8037110
add_filter ( 'bbp_before_has_search_results_parse_args', ntwb_bbpress_custom_search_results);
function ntwb_bbpress_custom_search_results() {
$default_post_type = array( bbp_get_forum_post_type(), bbp_get_topic_post_type(), bbp_get_reply_post_type() );
$args['post_type'] = $default_post_type;
$args['orderby'] = 'date';
$args['ignore_sticky_posts'] = 'false';
$args['order'] = 'DESC';
return $args;
}
Just need to work out how to parse the other $args :/
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/includes/search/functions.php
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/includes/search/template.php
Just enable ‘Anonymous Posting’ in the bbPress forums settings.
WordPress Dashboard -> Settings -> bbPress
I think you will find the docs for that reference the_content in a WordPress context.
For bbPress things are similar but the following best explains it though in this case it was related to Jetpack, the methodology is still the same though.
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/social-media-share-button-missing/#post-125857
This won’t work out of the box, and is by design. Jetpack hooks sharing options to the end of the ‘the_content’ filter. bbPress doesn’t use this filter, because blog content doesn’t have the same rules as forum content does; they work differently. To make it work, Jetpack’s sharing options would need to hook into bbp_get_topic_content and bbp_get_reply_content instead.
Someone could write a piggyback function to do this, but it may be more difficult than this first step once you’ve gotten this far. Replies don’t use the same “premalink” logic as topics, forums, pages, and posts do, since they are technically children of topics. There could be other quirks, too.
The best place to start would be the WordPress Plugin Developer Center
https://wordpress.org/plugins/about/
And checkout the bbPress Codex https://codex.bbpress.org/context/developer/
I didn’t make it but I expect it was a decision made not an option for the broadest compatibility.
Decisions, not Options https://wordpress.org/about/philosophy/
When making decisions these are the users we consider first. A great example of this consideration is software options. Every time you give a user an option, you are asking them to make a decision. When a user doesn’t care or understand the option this ultimately leads to frustration. As developers we sometimes feel that providing options for everything is a good thing, you can never have too many choices, right? Ultimately these choices end up being technical ones, choices that the average end user has no interest in. It’s our duty as developers to make smart design decisions and avoid putting the weight of technical choices on our end users.
Though as you point out if you want HTML emails you can enable this pretty easily.
I am preparing WordPress as a website with a forum for owners with sick dogs. Included in the website is a medical glossary plugin. It has worked so well on the pages that I have purchased their Pro+ version.
http://wordpress.org/plugins/enhanced-tooltipglossary/
The problem I am having is that the tooltip plugin is not recognizing terms inside the forum topic or posts and the tooltips are not coming up on hover:
http://www.secondchanceaihadogs.com/forums/topic/test/
CM support says “I am not sure how bbpress use post and if it use the content filters on them. If it does it will show the tooltip”
I could use some help. Should I be asking here about this, the designer of the theme or go back to CM support for the answer how to make this work?
Have you created the topic using the form that’s part of the forum, or using the administration panel? If I use the administration panel, everything is saved as it should; however, when I use the submit form in the forum, characters get converted to HTML entities.
I tested it using a clean installation of the latest version of WordPress with the default theme where the only plugin installed was bbPress, with exactly the result I have described above.
I would highly recommend looking into learning a little CSS, even a small amount can let you achieve a lot in bbPress and even WordPress.
Something you can do for example is: #bbpress-forums { background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; } – this is just an example.
Good luck! 🙂
I would recommend learning a bit of css, even a little CSS lets you do amazing things with bbPress and even WordPress!
Some like: bbp-title { line-height: 20px; } This is just an example. I don’t know the exact html of your website.
Good luck!
Thanks for your reply!
You are right it is the combinations of the two plugins causing this error. That is a shame because I need both plugins;-) I can try to remove the edit option in the bbpress profile view. So users can only edit there profile with the wordpress function but still see their topics etc in the bbpres profile view.
