Hei
After activated bbpress, the default wordpress user role reduced to only reader and administrator.
Is there anyway to get the default roles back?

Best regards,
Susan

Hi! I’ve got that:

Error thrown
Call to a member function get_users_for_object() on null

When i turning visibility option to “Hide” it happens.
And I cannot access any topics and forums.I can only access profile page of bbPress

Found this method in engagements.php(/includes/common)(/includes/users), capabilities.php (/includes/users)

any suggestions to solve it?
using bbPress 2.6.9 and WordPress 5.2.13 with Pointfinder theme.

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Display>item 10

[Robin W]

If I go to wordpress and open my site from there I can see the forum page in the main menu.

sorry, can you explain what ‘If I go to wordpress and open my site from there’ means ?

[georgitsonev]

sorry to not explain very well.
I want to see my forum page in the main menu of my page: https://www.ci-space.co/. It is not presented there.
If I go to wordpress and open my site from there I can see the forum page in the main menu.
The question is why I can’t see the forum page in the published version of my site?

[georgitsonev]

I can see it there and also the Forum page is appearing when I am in edit mode in the wordpress but I can’t see the forum page in the main site page menu when I open it from the site link.

[Robin W]

only a keymaster can appoint a keymaster.

so go to

dashboard>users>all users and see who is keymaster.

If no-one, then install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes

and you will see the ability to add a keymaster

[dilnawaaz]

By keymaster, do you mean complete back-end control? If yes, then the user has complete administrator control. We can’t see a ‘keymaster’ role either on wordpress or bbpress.

We are getting a ‘Topics’ and ‘Reply’ tab but not the ‘Forum’ tab in the menu. Here’s the screenshot – https://prnt.sc/22qcdfs

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

try this

add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title', function ($title) {
 if ( is_category() ) {
 $title = single_cat_title( '', false );
 } elseif ( is_tag() ) {
 $title = single_tag_title( '', false );
 } elseif ( is_author() ) {
 $title = '<span class="vcard">' . get_the_author() . '</span>' ;
 }
 
 return $title;
});

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

bbp style pack

has a link that adds a redirect to the topic in the email

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>subscription emails>auto login

No idea if your redirection would take precedence.

I fully agree on your last remark but it was done like that long before I started managing that site !

I want ideally to set 1 to 4 moderators max per forum (all with same @domain.com in their ID)

I’ll check deeper if any way to change/migrate user ID in WordPress but it looks not easy…

[ecollart]

Well,

I got time this evening (Belgium time).

The problem described here is caused by bbPress; reproduced on a deafault install of WP with only bbPress as plugin.

That’s an annoying one because you cannot change user ID in WordPress and I have 250 accounts.

I hope we can find some solution or workaround …

Eric Collart

[Robin W]

I am not certain, but on save a function is run that includes the wordpress function ‘sanitize_text_field’ which may well be stripping the @

what the code does is to try and find out the user_id of the name entered, and then passes this to

bbp_add_moderator( $forum_id, $user_id );

If I am guessing that this is not something you need to do too often, you could do it programatically if you know how?

in essence there are 2 functions

bbp_add_moderator( $forum_id, $user_id );
bbp_remove_moderator( $forum_id, $user_id );

[ecollart]

Hello,

we create our WordPress accounts using a mail address as the username (not the best idea but I wasn’t admin at decision moment) and it is used as user ID in WP.

When I try to add such an ID as moderator of a specific forum, the ID is changed: the “.” is replaced by a dash “-” and the “@” is simply removed.
As a result, the moderator doesn’t receive any notification.

Not sure bbPress is the problem or again due to one of our plugins.

Just let me know if that problem is known or not at bbPress…

Thanks for your support

I don’t know how well it might work with your buddypress set up, but try

Private groups

[Robin W]

ok, so I am wondering if something else is interfering.

Sure Robin. I’m not sure if it’s wordpress default template, but I’ll show you what I receive (as a test user, not admin) and what I set up.

Here’s what I receive:

Here’s my template:

I also noticed that “Don’t show this message” (Oh bother! No forums were found here!) doesn’t work for me. I ticked it, but the message is still there. Is there a php snippet I could add to my Woody snippet plugin? Thank you.

[Robin W]

can you give an example of a ‘default wordpress notification’ please

[Chris]

HI. I have bbp Style Pack. I set up nice templates in Subscription Emails tab, but users don’t receive those mails. They receive default WordPress notifications. How to force bbPress to send those nice looking templates I’ve created?
Thank you
Chris

[John James Jacoby]

Just these!

• Akismet
• bbPress
• bbPress.org Tweaks

We also use custom themes:

• bb Base
• bbPress.org Theme

[Robin W]

no idea, but I googled around and found this

https://www.hostinger.co.uk/tutorials/wordpress-broken-permalinks

I’d suggest taking a look at your htaccess file, but it’s not a speciality of mine, so proceed with caution 🙂

it’s great that you have taken the time to understand the standard tests required, they do solve 80% of issues which is why we ask for them, we don’t do it to annoy you.

the issue may well be a 3 plugin combination thing – so bbpress in combination with another plugin and jetpack, which is why ideally you would carry out the tests.

Given that you cannot, then there are two elements to user access – the wordpress level and the bbpress level

eg ‘administrator’ for wordpress and ‘keymaster’ for bbpress.

I think you best bet would be to set up a user and work through the combinations to see what works and what doesn’t – eg does admin and participant work, but not subscriber and keymaster, does admin work with moderator etc etc. That would help decide what the override that is allowing ‘admins’ to see stuff is.
