Hi, I added a new wordpress role and would like it to map new users not to the participant role but rather to spectator.

So I added this filter in my functions.php.

add_filter('bbp_get_user_role_map', 'assign_spectator_role');
  function assign_spectator_role($roles) {
    $roles['mynewrole'] = bbp_get_spectator_role(); 
  return (array) $roles;
}

Problem is that this filter does not get executed.
If I add my role directly in the bbp_get_user_role_map function it works but not with the filter.
The tools function ‘remap_roles’ also works fine.

Any ideas how I can get it to work?

Cheers.

Hi i installed wordpress multisite, How to use video tags in bbpress replies?

[Stephen Edgar]

Maybe this? https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2204

I’d suggest switching your “password protect child pages” plugin to a “membership” type plugin:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=members

I’m sure one of them will support what you are looking for and allow you to continue using a single password where bbPress is also behind that.

[Stephen Edgar]

I’ve not heard or seen such a plugin….

That said, I swapped out “topic tag” for “term” and searched the plugins repo:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?type=term&q=autocomplete+term

There may be others but this one stood out: https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-tags/

Add some tools for taxonomies : Terms suggestion, Mass Edit Terms, Auto link Terms, Ajax Autocompletion, Click Terms, Auto terms, Advanced manage term

It doesn’t list bbPress as being supported but maybe it could be adapted to support bbPress or support for bbPress added to the plugin.

I tried everything to find the source file but unsuccessful.. I can go with core edit without hooking with wordpress..

Please help me.. Thank you

I forgot to wait updating wordpress until bbpress was also 4.6 ready.

But I have upgraded to wp 4.6 now already and noticed an error.

When bbpress plugin is activated i cannot upload or find images. The media library keeps on looking for something.

And when uploading i get an error “An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later”.

Does this has to do with the wp 4.6 update?

and is the new bbpress update coming soon?

Love the functionality of bbPress and WordPress. Added the reply widget to my main sidebar, but it only displays what topic is being replied to and who replied. I’d like to be able to show at least a portion of the content from, say, the five most recent posts on the forum. Is there an easy way to do that? Perhaps a plugin/widget I should look at?

My site is FAUOwlAccess.com

Thanks.

Hi,

I’ve been trying to reduce the height of topic form (Tinymce) which stands at default 236px height.. I want to reduced them upto 100px.. I have searched all over, seems there is no shortcut solutions.. Can you please point me the file where I can edit that value.. For temporary period, I can touch or change the core files, if needed.

I’m unable to locate the file.. Even not sure if those values comes from wordpress tinymce files under/includes/tinymce or it’s set in within bbpress..

Thank you so much…

[Robin W]

can you check if it is being logged as spam

Akismet

If the service catches a topic that is spam, you will see it in the WordPress backend in the topics section under spam, and the same process for replies.

Hello
I’ve searched online but cannot find the answer. Does anyone know how I can edit the New Topic page of my forum: http://psychiatryadvice.com/new-topic/

For example, how do I remove the section which requests ‘website’?

Or do you know which file I need to edit?

Thanks!

Is this a new site, new problem, new to bbpress, when did it start happening, what else have you been doing, what versions of bbpress and wordpress are you running, what theme are you using

[mlwilkerson]

I’m seeing the same thing as originally reported by @mfiguerasma.

I first noticed it when my non-admin user (TestUser) *suddenly* could no longer see a topic that he had formerly been able to see. In my case, I am using sub-forums. (See: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2191#comment:17 )

I have a BP Group called GroupH.
The group forum root is a type=category group called “Group Forums”
Subforum1-GroupH is under the forum “GroupH”.

GroupH is the group forum, i.e the one you see in a the drop-down in the settings where you select which forum is associated with the BP Group.

So, it’s:

Group Forums
GroupH
Subforum1-GroupH
Topic1-Subforum1-GroupH

All of the forums and subforums have a Visibility setting of Private (in the admin settings screens).

So Topic1-Subforum1-GroupH was accessible by my TestUser one minute and then wasn’t the next minute. I knew that I hadn’t changed the visibility settings on my forums or anything else, but I realized that what I had done (thinking it was merely “for good measure”) was to run:
Tools->bbPress->Recalculate private and hidden forums

I recreated my original scenario, verified that TestUser could access Topic1-Subforum1-GroupH, and then used Updraft to take snapshots of my database before running “Recalculate private and hidden forums” calculate again. Sure enough, after that “repair”, it was broken again.

So I debugged it. This repair tool kicks off bbp_repair_forum_visibility() which updates two options in the options table:
_bbp_private_forums
_bbp_hidden_forums

These are pre-calculated, cached, lists of forums.

If the forum_id for GroupH appears in _bbp_hidden_forums, then TestUser won’t be able to access Topic1-Subforum1-GroupH. Before running this “repair”, the forum_id for GroupH does not appear in that list. After the repair it does.

So, how is the forum_id for GroupH getting into this list of hidden forums when the post_status on the forum is most definitely private? (Verified by looking at its row in the posts table)

It’s getting there precisely by the means @mfiguerasma showed.

When the query is being run to get a list of all “hidden” forums, in order to create _bbp_hidden_forums, it invokes the pre_get_posts filter. bbPress uses that filter bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility() to change the query_vars.

Notice what’s happening here:

(1) The WP_Query is saying “I am trying to find a list of *hidden* forums” (I have my own reasons for why I want a list of hidden forums.)

(2) But bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility() seems to be second-guessing. I receives query_vars with post_type=hidden, but then the way its logic works is to say: “What are various post statuses that this user has permission to see. Ah, this user can see both hidden and private ones, so I’ll update the query_vars to include post_types of both hidden and private.”

I think the logic of bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility() is exactly backwards. It’s trying to include all of the post_types that the user can access. But that’s not why it has been invoked. It’s been invoked in the process of simply creating a list of hidden forums for _bbp_hidden_forums and its messing that up by including the private post_status.

(3) So what the WP_Query gets back is a list of forum_ids for all hidden *and private* groups. And that’s the list that ultimately gets stored in _bbp_hidden_forums.

So this “repair” actually breaks my forums.

If you simply remove this bbPress filter before doing the repair, it seems to produce the correct result. My TestUser can access Topic1-Subforum1-GroupH both before and after the repair when we remove the filter:
remove_action(‘pre_get_posts’,’bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility’,4);

I’ve just performed a clean installation of WP 4.5.3 and installed Version 2.5.10 of bbPress plugin. I am currently using the Twenty Fourteen theme.

I installed bbPress by following the instructions here on bbPress.org:

1. I created an empty page named “Forums” using the default forum root slug heading (i.e., ‘forums’).
2. Then I added the empty Forums page to the site’s main menu.

The only trouble that I’m having so far is: The “Forums” menu item [in the Secondary, Left-hand menu] isn’t highlighted when viewing the Forums page. I’d begin digging around to see if I can fix the problem myself but – without knowing anything about the complexities of WordPress – I’m not even sure where to begin debugging this. Is the menu’s dynamic functionality driven directly by WordPress? By the Twenty Fourteen theme? Or by the bbPress plugin?

Could someone please tell me how this is achieved? Or maybe tell me how to fix this?

How to set the title with Yoast? Such page “/forum/” doesn’t exist in WordPress Pages.
I am using Yoast from a long time but don’t know how to set a title for such case.

[Stephen Edgar]

Awesome, glad you’re sorted…

Now I’ve just got to finish getting https://es.wordpress.org/support/ 100% translated 🙂

[Robkk]

@maruthemany Use this plugin instead.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-tools/

[Stephen Edgar]

I just setup a new site with WP 4.5.3 and bbPress 2.5.10 es_ES

Everything is translated for me: https://cloudup.com/ckbF2DGSPEl

Does the theme you are using include custom bbPress templates?

It looks like there might be an issue with the file form-reply.php

The file can be found in: templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php

It should match: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.10/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php

Can you check the above for me please?

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks for the screenshots, they are a big help 🙂

The “before” screenshot has lots of untranslated strings, Topic, Viewing 2 posts - 1 through 2, Participant, Edit, Move etc etc

Wheres most of the above are now translated in your “after” screenshot, I see 4 strings untranslated though: Reply to, Notify me of follow-up replies via email, Tags: and Submit

Those 4 strings all appear to be translated correctly, e.g https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/stable/es/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=93987&filters%5Btranslation_id%5D=3551506

p.s. Spam isn’t translated, Spam appears to be Spam in any language 😉

I’ll dig around some more and see what I can find

[pleyades38]

Thanks for your help!

I have deleted .po/.mo files so the plugin is untranslated:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/24hykm4gvh1zyc8/before.png?dl=0

Then, I have updated translations automatically through wordpress and this is the result:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/eua75i925izq41z/after.png?dl=0

The strings I indicated before remain untranslated, as well as the form strings in the screenshot. You can see some strings are translated an some are not. I know the language file contains all the translations but somehow the plugin insn’t finding them all.

I have no ideas…

[Stephen Edgar]

This is strange, bbPress is 100% translated into Spanish

https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/es/default/wp-plugins/bbpress

Here are the strings with voice, so they should work

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/stable/es/default?filters%5Bterm%5D=Voices&filters%5Buser_login%5D=&filters%5Bstatus%5D=current_or_waiting_or_fuzzy_or_untranslated&filter=Filter&sort%5Bby%5D=priority&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc

Can you try removing any .po/.mo files from the languages folder that you mentioned in your original post please?
