Thanks for the detailed info @jbroskos, I agree things look correct there, but obviously are not working as expected.
If you do find the issue later on down the road let us know with some detailed reproduction steps and we can fix the issue once we can reproduce it https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ 🙂
Oh! Ok, strange decision not to update where said updates may actually fix your issues so I’m not sure what we can do here to help out and I’d suggest you mention that if you are being asked to ‘fix things’ that could have already been fixed in newer versions, not specifically saying the issues have been fixed but there are vast improvements nevertheless.
I am not aware of any specific Thesis compatability issues, might be something to research through the Thesis community support forums, again you might find the latest Thesis compatability pack supports bbPress 2.5.x and have to roll back a version that works with bbPress 2.4.x.
I haven’t used s2member so I really cannot advise how best to do anything with it 😉
You could take a look at this plugin that when viewing a users profile in the backend will show you each of the bbPress capabilities assigned to a user that may help you narrow down the issues.
Unfortunately, whether we should upgrade or not is not my call to make. At the advice of another developer, my project manager has decided that we will not be updating WordPress. At the advice of yet another developer, I have been warned not to update bbPress either. Sorry. I’m just a measly intern developer with no say. 🙁
I was speaking with one of the aforementioned developers today, and he suggested that it the ‘edit’ issue (as far as the HTML in the editor goes) might have to do with Thesis. I’m going to look further into bbPress-thesis compatibility issues, but would you happen to know anything offhand about that? I do have the bbPress-Thesis compatibility pack plugin installed.
As for s2member, I have tried various combinations of role settings, but the issue still remains that a member has to either have highest level (admin) role in s2member or moderator or higher role in bbPress in order to view topics. All replies are visible to all roles, s2member and bbPress. I realize I might be starting to get out of scope of this forum, but there is a full post here that describes the roles as they interact between s2member and bbpress. Is the only way for me to work with bbPress and s2member to customize the roles? I’d hope for a simpler workaround if possible…
I can’t get the correct widgets to show on my main forum page.
All the other forum pages are listing the widgets correctly, except the main forum page. Any suggestions?
Currently on WordPress 3.9.1, the latest bbPress version. Link to site – afc1903.co.uk (note the site actually launches tomorrow evening (5th June 2014 at 7.30pm GMT)
I recently installed the eMember plugin (from Tips and Tricks HQ) and have been running bbPress and the Royal Slider slideshow plugin on my site. When all three plugins are running, however, my home page slideshow stops working. I contacted Royal Slider about the issue and they got back to me saying there is a JS error that is blocking the execution of the slideshow-and the source of it was bbPress.
My site: dev.detoxtheworld.com
Wordpress version 3.8.1
Running bbPress version 2.5.3
I’ve tested the problem using a default theme and it still occurs.
Here is the script from which the conflict originates: http://dev.detoxtheworld.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/editor.js
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.3/templates/default/js/editor.js
Can anyone tell me what the problem might be and, even better, how to fix it?
Mod Edit: I removed the code and added a link to the source for improved readability.
p.s. I’m using
————–
WordPress 3.9.1
Responsive Theme 1.9.5.1
bbPress 2.5.3
Firstly why not update to WordPress v3.9.1 and bbPress v2.5.3?
The ‘edit’ issue is most likely a plugin conflict, start deactivating plugins one by one until the issue goes away then enable the other plugins you disabled and research any known issues with the plugin causing the problem.
As to the s2member issue, you are going to have to meticulously go through each of the role settings and confirm what permissions are be given to each s2member and bbPress roles to work out whats what.
Hmmm… What you have outlined sounds like it should be working.
The one bit I am not sure about is you appear to only be describing WordPress roles and not also including bbPress’ roles in your description above.
Have you run the bbPress Repair Tool “Remap existing users to default forum roles”?(Tools->Forum)
This will set the users their bbPress role. The default role is Participant (You can change the default role via bbPress settings)
As outlined in the roles docs the bbPress role Particpant role includes the capability read_private_forums which in effect means any private forums can be read by users who are logged in, this would include your members and officers WordPress roles if you assign these WordPress role users the bbPress Participant role. If you assign your Officers WordPress role the bbPress Moderator role they will be able to read hidden forums because they have the read_hidden_forums bbPress capability.
As you describe you should have
Private forums – readable only by logged in users with participant role (ie members)
Hidden forums – readable only by moderators/keymasters
Your issue is that logged in user cannot see the private forums.
At a quick guess I’d suggest that your users need roles assigned – having re-read my documentation this isn’t at all clear – I’m off to tidy that bit!
In dashboard>users>edit user you’ll find forum roles at the bottom of each user’s details
Anyway that’s my guess, come back if I guessed wrong !
You could also use
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-private-groups if you don’t want to give your ‘officers’ back end access
Couple of issues… I’m not sure what version of wordpress is being run (as ridiculous as this sounds. I came in halfway on a project, and another developer I got to look at the site also could not tell me), but it is something before 3.8. The bbPress version is 2.4.1. Site only shows a splash page to non-members, and registration is blocked, so a link to it would be pointless.
1) Hitting “Edit” on a topic as administrator puts the HTML for the editor into the text box of an editor. If I hit “submit” without changing the contents, it edits the topic, but includes the edit form in the topic. Here is a screenshot. Clicking on submit in the resulting form within the topic does the edit as it should. I am not sure if this happens for regular members… see issue 3.
2) Clicking “Edit” on a reply results in the following message:
“There’s nothing here.
If there were posts in the database, you’d be seeing them. Try creating a post, and see if that solves your problem.”
When I go to the dashboard > replies, I can clearly see all the replies listed there.
3) I realize this is a known issue, but I could not find a good resolution for my case. Topics are not viewable by regular members, but all replies are viewable. Anyone with bbPress moderator role and above can view topics just fine. s2member is being run on the site, and from what I understand, s2member admins get bbPress moderator roles, while bbPress moderators get s2member admin roles. I have tried disactivating the s2member plugin, and the topics show up fine then. I can’t ditch s2member, but obviously am not going to give every member admin/moderator roles just so they can see topics. In fact, every member should only be a participant. There should never be any need for moderators (save for the actual admin). I’ve checked visibility on the forums, and everything is set to public.
You got caught by the Akismet spam filter 🙁
Anyways to answer your question, no, at this stage this cannot be done.
We have a few areas in bbPress we would like to be able to add ‘Bulk Edit’ to in the backend but we need some enhancements to WordPress be implemented upstream first.
It is a new multisite. We do not have any role editing software installed at this time. Here is the list of all plugins/theme we are using:
Theme
InspireBook by rtCamp
Plugins
bbPress
BuddyPress
rtMedia Pro
rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress
WooDojo
Try
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-private-groups
This has lots of options, including changing the freshness link so that it does not give a back door
OK, I am with you now and by the way there is no such thing as a stupid question 🙂
You should see a ‘reply’ link but when I look at your forum you are using WordPress 3.5.1, Twenty Eleven theme, a Twenty Eleven bbPress child theme and bbPress v 2.3.2. You also have other plugins modifying/extending the Twenty Eleven theme.
Why are you using old versions? Many of these modifications will be the primary cause of your issues and upgrading all of these and even a newer theme would fix most of your issues.
That is the first thing I would do, update to WordPress 3.9.1 and bbPress 2.5.3
Ha! Lets not hijack this topic any further, I updated my stance (or lack of) here 😉
Oh! Hehehe 😉 Always more than one way to do things in WordPress 🙂
There is actually a patch to add this permanently to bbPress 2.6
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2570
Do you think this is a good idea?
Should it be an active hyperlink or plain text? (I just realised my patch is only plain text)
Anyway, for now here is the patch as a plugin https://gist.github.com/ntwb/a19b187f2170235f16bf
(The extra HTML markup should match it to the existing profile fields for most themes)
Note: If this is shipped with bbPress 2.6 you will then see two profile fields 😉
Hello,
Here’s the solution for this issue:
Link: http://www.dailysdigest.com/wordpress/fix-sufficient-permissions-access-page-error-wordpress/
The 3rd Solution worked for me based on my experience. Cheers!
bbPress doesn’t actually create any WordPress pages.
You should be able to create a page titled ‘forums’ add the shortcode and bbPress will use that page.
If you can only create a page with the slug forums-2 then there is another page using the forums slug or is in the trash.
bbPress does not include a ‘Email Setting’ field.
Most likely https://wordpress.org/support/ is what you need or the support forum for the plugin you are using.
Pasting HTML and metadata is a WordPress/TinyMCE issue, and not really a bbPress bug to solve. There are WordPress plugins to disable HTML pasting, and we do support them, and we could go as far as including this in core as a helper for people that do turn TinyMCE on.
I’m here again!
It’s great I have a place to come back!
Now, I’m looking for advice on How to show “Website” part at User Profile page.
By default, 4 sections are displayed on User Profile page.
1.user-description, 2.forum-role, 3.topic-count, 4.reply-count
In edit page, There is a section for entering users “Website”.
in spite of entering the section, it would not be display at User’s Profile page.
How can I display it at the User’s Profile page.
I found that I need to add some PHPcodes into “user-profile.php”.
But as you know, I have no idea What codes I have to put in.
would you please advice me…
WordPress: ver3.9.1
bbPress: ver2.5.3
@eherman24 thank you for your input.
@cronhound thanks for your feedback.
@gautamgupta Thank you 🙂 Congratulations on being accepted again to the Google Summer of Code and choosing to contribute to bbPress development again! Cheers!
Was just coming back to say i fixed it, left out the”_” but Stephen has already caught it.
But now? A new problem.
WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘l” WHERE ID = “96386”‘ at line 1]
UPDATE wp_users SET user_pass = “xxxxxxx”l” WHERE ID = “96386”
Any ideas?
Hmmmm, this is not going to be quick nor easy to solve at this stage. There are quite few updates for pasting from Word and Excel slated for WordPress 3.9.2 but I haven’t tested any of them for bbPress, I’ll take a look in the next few days.
