I want the users to get email alerts every time their forum role changes.

Namely, I want to notify users only if their role has changed to Participant.

I found a way to do this with standard WordPress roles, but it doesn’t work with bbPress roles.

http://clicknathan.com/web-design/notify-a-wordpress-user-when-their-role-has-been-changed-to-a-specific-role/

I tried changing if ($new_role == 'contributor') to if ($new_role == 'participant') and even to this if ($new_role == 'bbp_participant') – nothing worked.

WordPress version: 3.8.2
bbPress version: 2.5.3

Not unless your two sites are a single WordPress Multisite install.

I can only suggest you hire someone to get rid of the spam and upgrade you

There are all sorts of backdoors that a ‘page/post’ restricting plugin doesn’t cover for bbpress

For instance :

search is usually forum wide
http://www.mysite.com/topics
http://www.mysite.com/replies
looking at topics/replies created in a user profile
recent topics widget
recent replies widget

all usually just bypass a plugin written for pages.

which is why I wrote the private groups plugin

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

There is no reason why it shouldn’t work alongside your members with members protecting your pages & posts, and private groups protecting your forums.

BUT you do have to set users up to see restricted forums, and this is manual. It is quick to do (just a setting within the user settings), but if you have an automated joining process, then you would need to add a manual step (or write some code!)

[Robin W]

If it is text within wordpress/bbpess then the following code in you functions file will change it

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'old text' ) {
	$translated_text = 'new text';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

But ‘text’ may be made up of code. For instance in your ‘create new topic in’ – the word topic may actually be a variable (I haven’t looked !), and the wrap around text used elsewhere for instance ‘create topic in’, ‘create reply in’, ‘create forum in’

On my local server search results URLs get pretty permalinks and search works. On my live server the query string is shown and no search results are returned.

I did a test by manually entering the search URL as it was prettyfied on my local server and surprisingly search works.

The search URL that bbPress returns looks like this and returns no results:
http://www.onedesigns.com/support/search?action=bbp-search-request&bbp_search=pinboard

The prettified link for the same search looks like this:
http://www.onedesigns.com/support/search/pinboard

So the search engine works and apparently it’s the permalinks that cause the issue. Changing or resaving WordPress’ permalink setting didn’t make any difference.

A var_dump for bbp_search returns NULL.

The only difference between my local server and live server is that on my local server I use Apache and on my live serve nginx + Varnish.

Is there any incompatibility between bbPress and nginx or Varnish? Are there any permalink configurations I must apply?

Thank you

I installed BBpress on wordpress, but when using HTML tags then these are not working.
They are also not white or anything, it’s totally not in the post. Bold, Italic etc are working fine.

For example which code is not working:

Hi!

I’m just begining with Private Groups plugin (and even with wordpress!), that seems to be a great plugin to manage users permissions to access to bbpress forums.

Just let me introduce my “configuration” in few words : I’m working with
– 2 forums (A and B)
– 2 groups (1 & 2)
– Group 1 is authorised to work with both forum A and B.
– Group 2 is only able to work with forum B.

I have 2 questions about Private Groups behaviors :
– SEARCH FUNCIONALITY : bpress search form or widget deal with all topics of all forums. I mean that the search functionnality does not take into account groups that are defined with Private Groups when displaying the results list. That’s true that a non authorised user can’t access to the detail of a topic (nor reply to it), but he can see all topics and even their content. Is there any solution to force the search functionnality to only deal with authorised combination forum/groups defined with Private Groups?

– PARENT FORUM : maybe I’m wrong but the only way I’ve found to work with Private Groups is to define one parent forum (the father of all) and subforums. The point is I have no need of any parent forum. Is there anyway to keep all forums at the same level without define any parent forum?

Thank you for any help or idea…

Hi, i have reset the forum, and run import again.

These are my selections:

source platform: vbulletin3
–database connections data–
row limit: 100 row
delay time: 1 minute
convert users: checked
restart: checked
clean previous installation: checked

log:

– start conversion
– no data to clean
– user conversion (0-99)
– user conversion (100-199)
– cuser conversion ….
– Delete the default password of WordPress users (1200 – 1299)
– forum conversion (0-99)
– calculation forum hierarchy (0-99)
– conversion threads (0-99)
– conversion threads (100-199)
– conversion threads (…)
– conversion threads (12600-12699)
– No stickies to stick

– No tag to convert

Repair any missing information: Continue (<- this is a link to /wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-repair)

WordPress database error: [Table ‘vbulletincopy.tagthread’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT convert(tagthread.threadid USING “utf8”) AS threadid,convert(tagthread.tagid USING “utf8”) AS tagid,convert(tag.tagtext USING “utf8”) AS tagtext FROM tagthread AS tagthread INNER JOIN tag AS tag USING (tagid) LIMIT 0, 100

After this message i click “Continue” and run the “repair page” one at a time.
All operations are successful except “Count the number of threads in which each user” has replied … Failed!

No replies on forum. Only one replies for each thread.

I have wordpress 3.9.1 and BBpress 2.5.3

[BackpackersUnion]

Two ideas.

1. If using a multi-site, start a subdomain for bbPress and activate it on that site alone.

2. Using a plugin called – https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-organizer/ As Diphda mentioned, bbPress loads on every page. This plugin can block any plugin from loading on pages where it is not required (for bbPress where there are no short codes or forums).

The only draw back is your Admin panel will still be sluggish for those who are experiencing a similar lag, but visitors will experience faster load times.

Hope this helps.

[Robin W]

I found this code in my files, try this

change the -10 days to whatever you want

Basically just create a file called say ‘close.php’ and put this code in it. Create a directory in your site

wp-content/plugins/close

and put the file in there

then go into

dashboard>plugins>installed plugins and activate it

I haven’t tested this.

[Robin W]

this is a widget logic problem, but try

!is_page(‘page_name’) || (is_single() && !is_bbpress())

if not, then try the support page, but is not well responded to

Following some of the code I found on the site to re-enable TinyMCE I am unable to reply to any comments. The TinyMCE box appears, but when you attempt to click inside it doesn’t allow you to. It appears that the iframe contents are deleted when the jQuery moves it to the temporary div. I have found this thread: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/tinymce-in-relation-with-nested?replies=1 as well as a few others I can’t seem to find now with the same issue. I attempted to get the jQuery working but with no luck, would appreciate if someone can file a bug report, I can’t figure out where to. Thanks.

When a plugin is updated via WordPress’s Admin Interface

• It is deactivated
• New files are pulled down
• It is reactivated

Problem is, the bbPress Notify Spam plugin isn’t coded in such a way to fail gracefully when bbPress is not active. Thus when WordPress tries to reactivate bbPress, a fatal error occurs. Not because of bbPress, but because bbPress is temporarily not there, and bbPress Notify Spam tries to call bbPress functions.

The fix is for that plugin author to use bbPress’s sub-actions and filters to include its files and execute code, and not call bbPress core functions without confirming bbPress is active previously in its call stack.

Sorry y’all for the inconvenience, but there’s little we can do in bbPress core to prevent this type of thing.

Hi all,
I know that there are several post about it, but I’m not able to find a solution for my forum.
It’s password proteceted and I cannot send you any link.

– I have WordPress 3.9.1 and bbpress 2.5.4
– I use Twenty Eleven (I know it’s a bad theme for bbpress)
– I have copied the content of /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default folder in my theme folder
– I have edited all the php files of my /wp-content/themes/mytheme/bbpress folder and commented “get_sidebar()” function
– I have created forum.php and bbpress.php file starting from page.php template and commented “get_sidebar()” function

But I have always the sidebar (below bbpress).

If I use this code

function disable_all_widgets( $sidebars_widgets ) {       
    if ( function_exists('is_bbpress') ) {
        if (is_bbpress()) {
            $sidebars_widgets = array(false);
            remove_all_actions('bp_register_widgets');
            unregister_sidebar( 'bp_core_widgets' );
        }
    }
    return $sidebars_widgets;
}

add_filter('sidebars_widgets', 'disable_all_widgets', 1, 1);

all the widgets disappear, but I have always meta links.

I know I should change theme. Do you have some tips for this one?

Thank you,

Andrea

Hi,

I’ve recently migrated a large forum from phpBB to bbPress using the import tool (which has gone extremely smoothly – so thanks to all who have worked on the importer tools!)
Users have been imported successfully, and I can login via wp-admin with the password that was used on the previous phpBB forum… All of that is glorious! 😀

On our site however, I’ve created an ajax login so visitors never have to get in via /wp-admin
The issue I’m having is that whatever code is used to check a users old password and convert it to a WordPress encoded password is not being run when I attempt to log a user in via wp_signon().

Is there a filter or something I can run to ensure that bbPress runs the password conversion when a user logs in via my ajax login prompt?

[southcot]

How does the link:-

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2593

… relate to this issue?

[pwdesign]

Just uploaded https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify-nospam/ 1.5.3. No change. Site still down…please help.

[Stephen Edgar]

@pwdesign, see this post, basically for some reason bbPress is being disabled after updating under certain conditions (not exactly sure what these are yet).
