I’ve spent lots and lots of time trying to make this work in Swedish. Finally I took @dykarna files and used them and then it worked. So my conlcusion is that there was something wrong with my .po & .mo files…

Those files i downloaded from https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.2.x but for some reason could not make it work.

The solution proposals for this problem are scattered in different parts of this forum and I think not properly adressed by bbpress for the new versions as far as I see it.

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/ is of course explaining the way to do it but does not adress the possible .mo and .po problems, I think. I agree to what @dykarna have said:

After having read this thread and I sit with the same problem. Then it would probably be appropriate to maybe get to a function so you can thru the admin panel choose which language you wish. Yes, and that all language files included with the package when installing bbPress.

Or one might even in the admin panel to add a “upload” of language files so they end up where they should and is automatically activated .. yes I’ve seen it in Joomla but there is something quite different but the principle

However, i’m very pleased that it works for me now. I just need to find the non-translated parts now…

Ironically, the use I plan to make for bbPress is to create a model for “Living Documentation” as described in the book “Specification by Example” for various types of software projects.

I am new to the Open Software model after having spent 30 odd years working within the “private” model. I see clear sustainability problems if users behave like typical users: demanding more and more from people who are being paid a fraction they are in the private model. Something has got to give. The proliferation of modules reflects current design methods of keeping each one fairly small/simple. The problem with that approach is that it indeed requires key overview docs including use of things like stepwise refinement and UML docs in order to obtain a cohesive grasp of the whole. As in baseball, “you can’t tell the players without a program!”

wordpress at least has several “apparently good” books to explain the development paradigm. bbPress users are not so lucky.

It is a very big job to create this very useful software and we should be more appreciative to those who have accepted this challenge – consider how long it would take any of us to write the volume of php code or even do the design work!

I think Mr. Jacoby is correct – if everyone who ran down a problem bothered to leave a little “map” or narrative of his journey we might get a better picture of how this thing works. The only problem I see with that is too many requirements: 1) user has to be able to ferret out the problem; 2) user has to be correct; 3) user has to be able to write carefully. There may be others requirements as well.

Ideally, we need better docs that reduce the abstractions presented to us in the form of raw code. It seems to me that the community needs to decide that bug fixes and new features should wait until the overall design can be made clear to nearly all of us.

You could also find some inspiration (or even use) this plugin

This is already fixed in 2.3 see https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2138

How i can make compatible also with bbpress? 😐

Hi there, Am trying to add a captcha plugin for my forum registration. The bbpress forum has been installed as a plugin in my wordpress site.

The problem I’m getting is where to add the captcha plugin? I can only find it if it’s installed in the main wordpress plugin directory, however I then can’t get to settings to enter the keys etc and bbpress doesn’t seem to see its there.

any advice? Thanks in advance

[maggieymae]

Yep Good point- I did do the import with no plugins installed and that’s why I reported it was a success…then I looked at it later and the topics were gone. After I posted here I realized I went a little crazy adding plugins so I disabled them all and activated them until the problem showed up again. Thanks again for offering a way to grab the posts from vbulletin and thanks for the bbpress wordpress plugin.

[Sambora5150]

@hoppare can you tell me how did you put the avatars at the left of the post? and how did you do the image categories? and the images for each user role? 

 

please help the bbpress community and help me too.. thanks

[steelmaiden]

I run a WordPress 3.5.1 Multisite and when i enable bbpress pluigin on my parent site the server goes crazy to over 100 (usually its below 2).

What could be the reason for this?

http://geek.hr is the website.

Thank you

[bruceleebee]

Did you end up finding a solution to this? I’m trying to do the exact same thing.

I have found a few threads from 4 or 5 years ago, and supposedly someone wrote a plugin for an old version of bbpress that can do this. But BBpress has gone through some serious changes (for the best) and now operates as a plugin for wordpress not a stand alone platform – so they no longer work.

Does anyone know of a plugin/rewrite rules/functions.php code we can use to make this a reality?

[Stephen Edgar]

I just deleted your 6 replies hijacking other peoples topics, please don’t do that.

The problem with your site is your theme specifying only 580px width.

Hey! I’ve just installed bbPress v2.3 beta 2 ( https://bbpress.org/blog/2013/02/bbpress-2-3-beta-2/ ) and it has fixed this problem!

I don’t know if the fix to the first bug (included in this v2.3 beta 2) help fixed this issue, but I no longer have this issue on my live site!

Yay!

I’m having the same problem,

This plugin will solve half the problem:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-notify/

But I need to be able to choose if a post will send out an email as I only want ones from a specific user to send out a notification

[Jared Atchison]

It’s a bit more complicated than a filter toggle I believe.

Check out https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities

By default only Author roles and above have the ability to upload files, and that’s for security reasons so that’s probably a good thing.

You can tweak your roles to change the ability to upload files, but at the moment it’s a little messy. Another issue is if you want to let all your users upload files.

If you are just looking for images there is a bbPress attachment plugin in the .org repo that can handle that without having to mess with all the user stuff.

I found a way to edit it with the s2member plugin.

I’m testing bbPost, so obviously I do not know it! I made a tryal here: http://www.coalize.it/wordpress2/
In the sidebar on the right, one can see a link to the forum(s): when you click it not being a User you may read the simple test message of the Forum, while if you enter as a User (via facebook, or Google), you can see nothing more! No message, no Forum, nothing.
Strange enough, the title of the Forum says “Comments Disabled”, and I didn’t willing disable them!
Where do I’m doing wrong?
Thank you.

I’m working at a WordPress site in which I want to use the bbPress plugin. Now, I want to create a link between the normal WordPress comment function and bbPress. I just want to do one thing. Under my standard WordPress blog entries, the users of my site can post comments. The comments are listed under the respective blog article. Next to each comments there the picture of the user that creates the comment. Now I want to create a link between the picture of the commentator and his bbPress profile page. When someone presses the picture of the commentator, there should be a forwarding to the bbPress profile page of the commentator. Observer of my blog can get a few informations about the commentator by that. Unfortunately I’m not able to create the link.

This is the code of my functions.php, that describes the comments setup of my normal WordPress commenting system:

And this is the bbPress php code which creates the user avatar link to the profile page:

Can somebody tell me the way how I have to modify the WordPress functions.php?

Even now, many thanks for your Help!

[xmasons]

I’m trying to create a page that includes only recent topics which would only be available to a forum role of Participant and a visibility of Private.

Creating a new page and using the short code [bbp-topic-index] doesn’t work, as the Private page visibility is based on WordPress user roles and not bbPress.

Is there a way to create an additional forum template that lists recent topics? This would not replace the main forum list view, but would be an additional page.

[moonoi]

Thanks Justin and John for all your amazing contributions to the community. I have a few questions/thoughts…

Dynamic roles – how to edit their caps?
The switch to “dynamic” roles in the most recent BBPress has left me completely puzzled. I’m still not sure what “dynamic” is supposed to mean?!

I can’t seem to find anywhere to view and/or edit the caps of these new forum roles. I’d like to, for some reason only “keymaster” users get the wysiwyg post edit form, whereas “participant” can only see the source code pane (no, there are no js errors?!).

Roles and capabilities in WP
I have been using Justin’s Members plugin, which made roles and caps in WordPress work like I feel it should. In the same way as in Drupal core. Any number of roles can be assigned to a user. Caps are assigned to roles – never to one single user of course. One specific user will have the combined capabilities of the roles he/she has.

Am I right that the only thing keeping us from just having a happy life together with Members plugin – assigning many roles to one user – is WP core’s User Edit screen that cuts everything else but one role away when you click save? If so, this should be easy to fix by just modifying this User Edit form. Right!?

Thanks! 🙂

Hoping someone can confirm this bug to avoid this issue being skipped for the 2.3 release since it is considered critical

———————–
john the admin creates group1 – jane creates group2 (private)

when jane visits group2 to create a forum post, it is posted to group1 and everyone can view the private forum post.

tested twice with new installs wordpress 3.5.1 + buddypress trunk-6779 + bbpress trunk 4761

jane is a standard user (participant)

[youngmoneychina]

I am trying to do something which i feel should be pretty simple.

I want to make forum/topics that are only visible and accessible by certain users i can determine myself.

For instance one forum/topic that only 2 forum users say “john” and “paul” have access to along with our admin.

There does not appear to be a way of doing this and i have tried most of the plugins the last 4 days of googling have provided.

Surely im missing something simple?

Im using the latest versions of wordpress and bbpress, just downloaded this week.

The forum in question – though not live, can be seen here: http://69.195.124.85/~youngmo7/12/shortcode-forums/

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, I have BBPress installed in my wordpress GEO Theme. My site is US nationwide which means people can post their place listing for every State and City. I would like to offer the option to the place listing owners to create a private forum for their place. So, it will more than likely be thousands of private forums within my site. Is this possible with BBPress?

[dwbroad]

Thanks for your reply.

I have just tried putting something at the top of the bbpress.php file but it seems that it never even reaches that file, wordpress seems to decide straight away that the page doesn’t exist so sends it to the 404 bypassing bbpress completely….
