Hi Zaerl,

Thanks so much.
I have found the answer for myself actally.

Yes, I love the fact that bbPress is not obtrusive!
It almost doesn’t matter at all how I am trying integrate BuddyPress here.

So this narrow downs to customise bbPress template when installed as a plugin to WordPress.
The answer is here: https://codex.bbpress.org/legacy/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/ 🙂

It appears strange to me though.
Why does this guide belong “legacy” documetation?

I’m running a WordPress Multi-user installation. I added forums to a single ‘site’ and everything is integrated just fine.

The problem I’m having, is that whenever someone posts in the forum their role for that site is changed to ‘Forum Participant’. This happens for all roles, every time I make a post I have to reset my permissions.

I have no idea where to start looking for a solution and I haven’t found anything else on these forums.

I have created a forum and can register a new user and log in using the short codes. I can also go to the forum page and post new topics, etc.

http://www.davidbroad.co.uk/flac/forums/forum/forum/

My only problem is when the user is logged in and on their Dashboard page when they click ‘Topics’ or ‘Reply’ in the ‘Right Now in Forums’ box they get this message:

You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page. apart from this it seems to be working, but this is obliviously going to confuse some users..

I’m using WordPress 3.4.2 and bbpress 2.1.2

Thanks,

David

Hello bbPress experts,

I have searched through the forums to find some means of restricting user access to content and it looks like some of the solutions revolve around a Membership plugin that exists.

The issue with that is several things, we’re not using User Roles. We’re trying to integrate with the MemberMouse premium plugin and users created via MemberMouse are not assigned roles in wordpress. This makes it useless to restrict access via User Roles. We’re also developing it on Thesis which seems to have a plethora of issues with bbPress regardless (so we have setup the compatibility plugin).

However, MemberMouse does have user levels and tags to call them via wordpress functions. We can restrict other types of content with means like

is_user_logged_in() && mm_isMembershipLevel(2)

So we were looking for a means to hook into the forums to create conditional statements like this.

For the time being we are hooking in the meta box and assigning an ID whether its public or restricted. Unfortunately we couldn’t find any solution letting us hook into the meta box and create restricts using traditional methods like described.

As such, we are injecting javascript to rewrite html elements for users that do not pass restriction, which is occurring after the page loads. We’ve spent a lot of time on this and would be interested to find out from bbPress veterans if there might be a hook or init function we can connect to, in order to make restrictions not role based but member based using the means provided by the MemberMouse plugin.

As far as I can see there is only 2 options in the settings who can register: 1 Anyone can register and 2: noone can register? I have changed it to noone can register because it has been hundreds of new spam members every day. A couple of persons had made 100 spam memberships each! How is this possible? Does this mean they have the same amount of membership accounts at WordPress?

thanks zaerl, can’t seem to get it to work. i’m not a rocket scientist with databases.

happy to hire a programmer who can make this happen, posted a job request on http://jobs.wordpress.net/

thx again. eric + gardenfork.tv

I’ve got almost the same problem as @Anointed here, no before and after option..

Sorry to say but this is typically WordPress development they output Page navigations in < .a href's.. just one after the other and you can only hope there is enough classes to list and style them properly.

I found this problem with WordPress the first time when i tried to apply Twitter's Bootstrap Page navigation to a WordPress theme.
This is how a page-navigation should look like anno 2012 in default HTML. http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/components.html#pagination

not like this..

        <a href="#">page 1</a>
        <a href="#">page 2</a>
        <a href="#">page 3</a>

1) Create a bbpress.php file in the root directory of your theme (or archive-forum.php).

2) bbPress is a plugin and so every single function that are include()d are automatically available on the global scope. Take a look at the bbpress() function.

3) By testing. bbPress isn’t obtrusive and at 99% it will not raise problems.

It has been a week now.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can achieve this?

[Charly_ZA]

Thanks for the help but isn’t that just creating a link to the forums in the navigation bar? Is there a way to treat it like a page? Simple press does it like that. I don’t like simple press and I want to change to bbpress. I have it installed on my website at tbolmc.com/wordpress.

Hi everyone.

I’m developing a web site with multilingual support, using WordPress 3.4.2 and the Polylang plugin 0.9.4 . I’d love to add a forum to the site, so I downloaded, installed and activated bbPress 2.1.2 .

The first problem was that bbPress didn’t switch from one language to another, always keeping the default WordPress language. I solved this calling again bbpress()->load_textdomain() before loading the header template:

function cbp_bbPressTranslate(){
bpress()->load_textdomain();
}
add_action('get_header','cbp_bbPressTranslate');

This worked great, but soon other problem appeared. If topics and replies doesn’t have translations, they doesn’t show up. I can add translation posts for they from the admin panel, but of course my users can’t. I’ve isolated the problem to the Polylang plugin: switching back to Twenty Eleven theme and deactivating all plugins but Polylang didn’t do anything. Deactivating Polylang showed the topics again.

I’ve tried other multilingual plugins like xili-language, which works great with bbPress, but lacks of customizing menus panel, wich I need on my site.

Anyone can help me? Encouraging words will be welcomed too! 😀

I’m using the bbpress Login Widget in my sidebar but I’d like to move it to the top of the page outside of the main content area. I was thinking something similar to ebay. Can someone tell me where the code is for this widget or the best way of going about doing this? The site is http://retreadwerks.com/wordpressNew/

[Charly_ZA]

Thanks, when I go to mywebsite.com/wordpress/forums the page is white. I did copy the bbpress files to the forum folder. When I get it installed will I be able to change the colours to match my current template?

[LabSecrets]

The plugin is https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpvn-username-changer/

I’ve not used it lately, and it is over 2 years since an update….so please test it before on a demo site.

I suggest you merely use cpanel and phpmyadmin to change username for admin in row 1 of wp_users table…..be sure to backup your db beforehand in case something goes wrong 🙂

Cheers!

Nice to see your ‘ Posts-to-bbPress’ plugin at GitHub
https://github.com/nosecreek/Posts-to-bbPress

[Worthdesigning]

I am using Profile Builder. Excellent plugin for registration.

[cavenewt]

Anybody tried WangGuard?

[cavenewt]

Same question here–I have a standalone 1.02 I’d like to upgrade to v2. Don’t care about WordPress but bbPressv2 is strictly a plugin for WP, right?

[Charly_ZA]

Is there any way to create a navigation bar link saying forums on my website. I have installed bbpress but I don’t know what to do next. I looked at a few tutorials. My website is tbolmc.com/wordpress

[stickFinger]

think the WordPress Adminbar is now been called the Toolbar.

Yep

Another good example is ServerPress

Try to register at that site . All is done through frontend.

Still wondering if the guys here could spread some light on 🙂
Thank you Shmoo

Hi,

I discovered that (replies) pagination printed inside each topic on topic list does not work if the replies counts more than 1000 entries. This is due to the use of

$total = bbp_get_topic_reply_count( $topic_id );

on function

bbp_get_topic_pagination()

on bb-topic-template.php. The total from bbp_get_topic_reply_count is returned as a formatted number, for example 1,449 and passing this value to the core WordPress paginate_links() from general-template.php leads to empty page list.

The bbp_get_topic_reply_count() should accept a second parameter to stop the formatting.

Version in use: bbPress 2.1.2.

Have a nice day, Stefano Lissa.

Metadata for search engines?

Use a plugin maybe SEO by Yoast.

Else use Custom Fields.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields

[Shmoo]

Use plugins…

Block IP’s or entire countries like China , Russia and Nigeria if you run a website for a local flower shop in France.

Just search around on the internet en WordPress website there is so much stuff you can do.

[Shmoo]

I think what he’s trying to say that somebody is working on it.

This means somebody outside WordPress is making a replica because i can’t believe WordPress giving away the code to the same sites they own. Normally nobody would do so.

But usual it’s not problem to recreate them and make them look the same, it’s just somebody has to do it in there free time so it takes a little time to complete.

But maybe i’am mistaken and WordPress is giving you this layout by default inside bbPress.
Maybe instead of the Twenty Ten option.

And last, bbPress.org is running on WordPress + bbPress version 2.2 this version hasn’t been released yet and don’t know why the team would do so or tell people that they do. It’s against WordPress ‘thinking’ they never tell people to use development software (code) on Live websites. Always test it on local websites.

You can find stuff about bbPress version 2.2 and up on this website.

I think the WordPress Adminbar is now been called the Toolbar.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Screens#Toolbar

Read and searsh a bit i think it’s very easy to add a link and remove stuff from this Toolbar.
there are filters i believe you can add to your functions.php to make this happen.
