Have tried using a default theme in WordPress? eg Twenty Thirteen

[Stephen Edgar]

Change your WordPress settings (/wp-admin/options-general.php) to whatever format you require, bbPress will inherit those settings.

Hello,

I am experiencing BBPress role issues with a WP + BP + BBPress setup.

I need a “moderator” role to be able to create new forums and edit his own, as per the standard permissions defined here : http://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

Moderator

Forum Capabilities

• publish_forums
• edit_forums
• read_private_forums
• read_hidden_forums

Unfortunately, the “moderator” role doesn’t see the “Forum” menu in the WordPress back-end, and even if its pages are accessed directly, there is a message stating the user does not have permission to accès the content.

So I understand that this may be a permissions issue, but i’ve taken a number of steps to circumvent this, and still no solution in sight :

• Disable all other plugins and use standard WP theme
• Upgrade BBpress to V 2.5
• Tried every single “repair forum” tool in plugin preferences
• Tried activating-deactivating and reactivating “default user role” setting
• Tried editing role with Capability Manager Enhanced
• Tried with a fresh install of WordPress

From what i’ve gathered on-line, the BBpress team has introduced a new way of storing user roles but there isn’t very much information on how it REALLY works and how to make it compatible with an existing site that upgrades to a new version of BBpress.

Anyway, has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

I would appreciate any input,

C.

Hello,

We’ve just added full support for bbPress to FunCaptcha: http://wordpress.org/plugins/funcaptcha/

You can try a demo of FunCaptcha on our site, but signup is easiest through the WordPress Plugin for your WordPress sites!

Let me know if you have any further requests for FunCaptcha using bbPress!

Kind regards,
FunCaptcha team

[Stephen Edgar]

No, this isn’t really what bbPress was designed to do.

I would take a look at something like https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/

[Stephen Edgar]

Ok…. Looks like you have a good discussion going here https://wordpress.org/support/topic/anyone-supporting-this-plugin-help-w-discussions

[Stephen Edgar]

You could try the latest version of the plugin, it is hosted on GitHub here
https://github.com/boonebgorges/Import-from-Ning

Actually it looks like the WP hosted version is also the same version

I am not not sure if this is a bug or not, my CSS skills are not that great.

If we removed it I am not sure how this would affect template compat in other themes.

I would suggest adding a custom bbpress.css file to your theme with the ‘overflow: hidden’ removed/commented out.

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results {
	font-size: 12px;
/*	overflow: hidden; */
	border: 1px solid #eee;
	margin-bottom: 20px;
	clear: both;
}

Also if you want to create a ticket on Trac https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ we can look into it further.

I can’t seem to reproduce this issue, I can clearly see it @eduardosilva forum thread linked to above.

Here is the basic layout of the CSS classes of @eduardosilva topic linked above

1. post-18012 topic type-topic status-publish hentry even bbp-parent-forum-4 bbp-parent-topic-18012 bbp-reply-position-1 user-id-6181 topic-author
2. post-18014 reply type-reply status-publish hentry even bbp-parent-forum-4 bbp-parent-topic-18012 bbp-reply-position-2 user-id-2
3. post-18031 reply type-reply status-publish hentry even bbp-parent-forum-4 bbp-parent-topic-18012 bbp-reply-position-5 user-id-6181 topic-author
4. post-18037 reply type-reply status-publish hentry even bbp-parent-forum-4 bbp-parent-topic-18012 bbp-reply-position-7 user-id-6181 topic-author
5. post-18046 reply type-reply status-publish hentry even bbp-parent-forum-4 bbp-parent-topic-18012 bbp-reply-position-8 user-id-2
6. post-18029 reply type-reply status-publish hentry even bbp-parent-forum-4 bbp-parent-topic-18012 bbp-reply-position-3 user-id-6181 topic-author
7. post-18033 reply type-reply status-publish hentry even bbp-parent-forum-4 bbp-parent-topic-18012 bbp-reply-position-6 user-id-2

The order currently being shown using bbp-reply-position- is 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 3, 6 and it should be 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Every post has a class of even when every second post should be odd based on the source code here, this is also something I cannot reproduce. This is also a sitewide issue on all the topics on @eduardosilva forums.

Anyone else with this issue can you confirm it is also ONLY after a reply has been edited?

Also do you have odd & even in the CSS classes or all they all even?

[Lynq]

I know this could be tedious, but how about setting up some wordpress shortcodes for the relevant BBCodes?

This could work: https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API

Good luck!

At the moment I receive the following type of email due to my bbPress subscription:

From: WordPress <wordpress@mysite.com>
Title: [[SiteTitle]] [Post Title]
Content: [Post Content]

Is it possible for me to customise any of these fields without affecting the appearance of the site?

Regards,
Marc

[Jgonl]

Sorry FreeWpress
I do not understand what you want to ask?

bbpress 2.5
wordpress 3.7.1
buddypress 1.8.1

[Stephen Edgar]

Hopefully this will be setup for you soon:

i want use wordpress and bbpress forum in…

[PushingPebbles]

I am not sure where to put this. The problem I have is every time a member is using my forum it, their dashboard looks like WordPress.

Is there a way to customize a members “user cp” so they can edit their profile, check the forums, etc.. Through a navigation dashboard that I have created or customized.

Similar to a “user cp” in vbulletin, I have seen it done on a couple of sites on here from forums. I was just wondering how it is done, as I have not seen any instructions on it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I hope someone knows the answer so I don’t have to export and redo everything into a vbulletin site.

Thanks

crzyhrse – I am in the process of trying to improve the documentation – I started using wordpress & bbPress earlier this year and am still learning. This is community software, and community documentation, so I am trying to do my bit by helping the documentation side, and by spending time on the forum helping others where I can. The step by step guides I am writing are designed to fit the bill of “cohesive simple directions”, but if they are failing or you haven’t found them, then they are not working as planned. Let me know and I’ll try to improve layout and/or content, but I need good feedback to do this.

The text change suggested by renai42 works (with a small change) if done to the bbpress.css.

Can I ask you to look at

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 2

and the styling crib

bbPress Styling Crib

I’ve just tested and added Renai’s css so look there for what to use.

If you can improve wording or content to help others – please let me know what could be better phrased.

If it doesn’t work, come back with what you did, and I’ll see if I can help further

[Lynq]

Hey guys,

Can I ask, are you comfortable with changing font sizes on a WordPress website? Regardless of bbPress.

If so then it’s exactly the same. If you wanted to you could even create a section inside your main themes style sheet for bbPress specific styles.

Good luck!

[Asynaptic]

Both of these new discussion forum implementations have great new ideas that can be incorporated into bbPress. And they both have integration plugins for wordpress users:

https://moot.it/
https://moot.it/docs/wordpress.html

http://www.discourse.org/
https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse

Some of the features are already implemented in BP and bbPress, like the notifications mention feature (@name). Many others would be great to implement (like, “remember your place” which stores where you read up to in the thread so when you return you don’t have to remember or scroll to it).

Anyway, just wanted to open up the topic as I don’t think it has been discussed at all previously.

[mouffles]

I’m sorry but the devs should really correct this, cause it’s a bad ux for forum users, i found many thread talking about this specifical issue since 2 years (-_-) and it’s has never been corrected :

Not taken to correct page after posting to long topic

Permalinks for replies on long topics lose /page/ and number

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2291

I will bump the topic since i have a correct answer to this issue.

I just installed the latest WordPress and BBpress and the forum opens fine on a computer but when you open it on a mobile device it does not open and I get “oh brother there are no forums found”?

[BarryB64]

First, Inspiration Point (http://www.inspiration-point.org) is using a child version of TwentyEleven. I’m using the latest WordPress software.

I did some reading and I’m liking what I am hearing about the bbpress forum plugin. On my site, there is area that I’m calling Shore Classified. Here’s what I’d like to do:

Shore Classified is born out of a frustration I had with my church. It’s not because they didn’t want to put a request on the church’s mailing list. It had to do with limited resource and wary of unwanted advertisements. I’m not the only one

Why not create a place where people can posts “blog updates”, “Christian business”, “Church Events”, “Help Wanted” and etc. My initial thought is to limit this to a region. It can easily be expanded.

I, obviously want to be careful and it’s why I didn’t jump on it. 🙂 Are there additional plugins? How can I best set the forum to safeguard against unwanted trolls? Can bbpress be configured to require registration before posting?

There are probably other questions that I should be asking. I’d appreciate some inputs. Thanks in advance.
