I seem to have two forums created, but I prefer the layout of one over the other. I’ve been trying to get my forum page to direct to the page with the layout I prefer, but it will only direct to the other. I’ve tried to change the forum slug to absolutely no avail.

I’m using WordPress 4.1.1, bbPress 2.5.4 and my site is http://artintheblood.net.

The forum I would LIKE to use is http://artintheblood.net/forums/
The forum I keep getting stuck with is the same domain name with /forum/ instead of /forums/

Any help is sincerely appreciated!

bbpress uses wordpress as it’s host and using a combination of the two you should be able to achieve all this

1 yes
2 yes
3 yes
4 probably
5 lots of wordpress petition plugins
6. https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-like-button/
6 (again) lots of diary systems within wordpress
7 would tend to do this within wordpress

Morning all.

Most likely an obvious error my end but when i visit certain parts of the forum it does not show properly. For example if you view http://www.recipebrag.com/forums/forum/recipebrag-com/ it will show but if you then go to http://www.recipebrag.com/forums/ it looks like a blog post.

Where am I going wrong?

TIA

Stephen

ps using the latest wordpress bbpress etc

ok, if you can’t get the right sidebars to show, just have one sidebar and use widget logic to decide what widgets show in which pages

https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/

then for each widget there is a widget logic box

put

is_bbpress() if you want that wiodget to appear in forums
!is_bbpress if you want it to appear in pages other than forums
and leave blank for both

I’m still seeing this behavior in the latest bbpress. Tried the new “Recalculate the position of each reply” and all old posts that were edited in the WP Control Panel are “stuck” at the bottom.

Wordpress 4.1.1
bbpress 2.5.4

This is happening to me as well. If I try to use any sort of SMTP mailing plugin, no notifications are sent from bbPress. Disabling SMTP fixes it, but that is hardly a solution. I will be following this topic closely for a solution.

bbPress: 2.5.4
Wordpress: 4.1
Email plugin: SendGrid

On a private forum, I have a topic created by a WordPress user (A) with Administrator privs and forum Keymaster privs, and a WordPress user (B) with Subscriber privs and forum Participant privs.

If User B clicks on a topic created by User A, B does not see the topic but gets a 404 error.

However, user A can click on and view topics created by user B.

I’ve posted the long article about this question on my blog with source codes, examples and screenshots (on Russian language): https://korobochkin.wordpress.com/2015/02/10/rukovodstvo-po-sozdaniju-stranicy-registracii-v-multisajte/

check WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings>Permalinks,otherwise you have to find out same name page,post is already in your account,some times same ID is not taken..

Thanks Robkk, pointed me in the right direction and actually found someone else on the board with a ‘patch’ for it. If anyone else comes across this issue, here’s a fix https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-with-multiple-quotes-found-a-patch

[Robkk]

common issue with yoast breadcrumbs.

/**
 * Filter to call default bbPress breadcrumbs
 */
add_filter( 'bbp_get_breadcrumb', 'myfix_bbp_get_breadcrumb', 1, 3 );
function myfix_bbp_get_breadcrumb($trail, $crumbs, $r){
        // This will remove wordpress-seo filter to disable bbPress breadcrums by default
        remove_all_filters("bbp_get_breadcrumb",10);
        return $trail;
}

use this to enable bbPress breadcrumbs

[Robin W]

yes you’ll need to enable debugging and have a play to see where the error is

When I installed BBpress the menu items in the admin navigation area did not show up. After turning off the plugins one at a time they show up. The plugin is “Constant Contact Plugin for WordPress” Is their any known fix for 2 plugins that are in conflict like what I am experiencing in this situation?

[Robin W]

You might do better with

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

This will block backdoors, such as directly entering the url of a forum, finding stuff in search, and allow the use of widgets.

Hi,

I’m running the latest bbPress (2.5.4) and using Gravity Forms and the Custom Post Types addon to automatically create a bbPress reply when somebody submits a form. This is mostly working – the reply post is created in WordPress, I’m setting the _bbp_reply_to, _bbp_forum_id and _bbp_topic_id meta fields and it looks like it should in the backend.

However it doesn’t appear as a reply under the topic when you view the forums.

If I edit the newly-created reply in the WordPress admin backend (just hitting Update without making any changes) it does then appear.

I presume there’s some additional step required to update the forums metadata or relationships? I’ve tried using the “repair forum” tools after creating the reply, and calling bbp_update_reply from a hook on form submission, but neither seem to make the reply appear. The only thing which does is clicking “Update” in the backend.

Any pointers would be very much appreciated! It feels like I’m 90% there but am missing some vital “refresh” step at the end.

Using the Hueman theme with latest bbpress and wordpress. The forums page has the correct sidebar, but when I click on a topic, a another, different sidebar appears.

[alaskanbob]

This is a new current installation of WordPress, Buddypress and bbPress

I’ve created two forums. one group forum and one non-group forum. Both show up on the forum index at *.com/forums/

The non-group test forum works fine. Clicking on the index test forum link goes to *.com/forums/forum/test-forum/ the topic link goes to *.com/forums/topic/test-topic/

The group forum isn’t working. Clicking on the index group forum link just returns to *.com/forums/

However when I mouseover the link it shows *.com/groups/accessible-woodworking/forum/

I can go directly to the topic in the group forum at *.com/groups/accessible-woodworking/forum/topic/accessible-woodworking-test-topic/

I’m thinking it has something to do with the setting for the Group Forum root, but I don’t know how to change it.

Any and all suggestions welcome. Thank you in advance.

Wordpress version: 4.1.1
bbPress version: 2.5.4
phpBB forum version: 3.1.3

I’m running into an issue trying to import a phpBB forum into bbPress. I’ve checked and rechecked my database information/login. I have the correct table prefix for what the old database is using. I’m getting the following error when I press start:

WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘users.user_website’ in ‘field list’]
SELECT convert(users.user_id USING “utf8”) AS user_id,convert(users.user_password USING “utf8”) AS user_password,convert(users.user_form_salt USING “utf8”) AS user_form_salt,convert(users.username USING “utf8”) AS username,convert(users.user_email USING “utf8”) AS user_email,convert(users.user_website USING “utf8”) AS user_website,convert(users.user_regdate USING “utf8”) AS user_regdate,convert(users.user_aim USING “utf8”) AS user_aim,convert(users.user_yim USING “utf8”) AS user_yim,convert(users.user_icq USING “utf8”) AS user_icq,convert(users.user_msnm USING “utf8”) AS user_msnm,convert(users.user_jabber USING “utf8”) AS user_jabber,convert(users.user_occ USING “utf8”) AS user_occ,convert(users.user_interests USING “utf8”) AS user_interests,convert(users.user_sig USING “utf8”) AS user_sig,convert(users.user_from USING “utf8”) AS user_from,convert(users.user_avatar USING “utf8”) AS user_avatar FROM phpbb_users AS users LIMIT 0, 100

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hope I’m grasping that correctly.

nearly

I scrapped part 2, then

what I actually did was take the final three roles form your original part 1 (I moved the participant one down to make it consistent)

so if you look at the councilman role

Then where you had

$bbp_roles['my_custom_role6'] = array(
'name' => 'Councilman',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() ) // the same capabilities as keymaster
);

This will set a role called my-custom-role-6 to the name and capabilities, and if that role doesn’t exist will create it. WordPress generally doesn’t worry about whether something already exists, if it does it overwrites it, and if it doesn’t it creates it.

Now I could have simply changed ‘my_custom_roles_6 to bbp_keymaster, and it would have changed the existing role bbp_keymaster name and capabilities to what was in that line

But for reasons I won’t bore you with, it is better to call a function which gets that role

hence the new line before

$keymaster = bbp_get_keymaster_role() ;

Then you just use that $keymaster variable set in the line before

WordPress 4.1.1 running Divi Child Theme theme.
BBPress Version 2.5.4
http://oxfordukchapter.co.uk
We have the above version of BBpress and when the members use the forum they leave lines between their posts

as so

and then the post will not show when you close the lines up everything is visible.
Thanks

Pretty strange one imho. I’ve been working on porting an existing site from phpbb
over to wordpress/bbpress. While going through a final test of the port I’ve come across the following problem. Namely when in forums where you can see the latest post (along side the forum name), the name of the latest post plus its time/date are totally incorrect, however the url actually links to the correct latest post.

See: wp.photographyireland.net/forums to see.

I’ve retried all the usual recalculates etc… I have tested the port in the past and didn’t have this issue. Can anyone advise or at worst provide me with a sql updates statement to correct?

I don’t want to do the port for real if I’m going to run into this again. Tbh I do find that the import from phpbb can be a tad bit flaky at time…

Cheers

Hi,

it would be better to keep how it is leading to the userprofile just in case someone didnt input their website url in their profile.

Users can already edit their profile through the login widget.

so basically you want it to act sort of like how wordpress comments handles the comment author link on this one.

Yes, that’s it !

Greetings,
Whimsicality

[Robkk]

if the author is not anonymous, use the user_url

it would be better to keep how it is leading to the userprofile just in case someone didnt input their website url in their profile.

else use the comment website url

this sounds like you want to use the website field in the anonymous user form when they post.

so basically you want it to act sort of like how wordpress comments handles the comment author link on this one.

am i right??

@atlantis1525

on the backend of wordpress you can see a menu item called toward the bottom-left called settings, from there , there is more settings for things like discussion , writing , and permalinks.

here is what it looks like

https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Permalinks_Screen

[Robin W]

ok, try

https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/

use

is_bbpress()where you want a widget displayed on bbpress pages and
!is_bbpress() where you don’t
