Hi

I posted here last week, but for some reason my post didn’t appear, so trying again.

I am running bbpress 2.5.1 Buddypress 1.8.1 and WordPress 3.7.1 and having problems finding documentation to support getting my forums (or are they now called groups) to work at http://www.thehouseofdog.co.uk/groups/

No one seems able to post a new topic, not even me. The forums are not clear, you have to select the forums tab to get them up (and then they’re empty because no one can create a new topic) and I just need to know where I can find a manual to set this all up.

I spent 3 hours last Friday trying to find out why the ‘forums’ tab wasn’t displaying in my dashboard, only to discover I’d been looking for something which obviously doesn’t show in the latest bbpress version (but the documentation says it does).

Can someone please help me? I’ve never used wordpress, buddypress or bbpress before and I really need a manual which is up to date!

Thanks

Hello – new to this forum.

I have just started using bbPress (WordPress plugin), and I see that the ‘Freshness’ is incorrect for my test forum (localhost). The topic and post dates are in fact correct (when you go to the post, look at WP Admin, the post dates are accurate), but ‘Freshness’ is completely incorrect.

For now, I am developing my own Freshness algorithm, and will include it via theme compatability. I just wanted to add feedback that there seems to be a problem w ‘Freshness’ that would benefit from a fix.

Thanks. –Bill

Hello,

I have recently installed BBPress into my WordPress theme, and have been having a few problems with spam registrations. Basically people are creating accounts, and in their profile text the are adding links to external sites. I would like “nofollow” to be added to these links by default, though nothing I have found on this forum has worked. I have added various things to my functions.php file as instructed by people here – none have worked. Can anyone help with this?

I would also like to hide the “/members” page form being publicly accessible – is this possible?

Thanks
James

You could use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-string-swap/

Or you can use this plugin https://gist.github.com/ntwb/7864894

Or just add the code from the plugin to your themes functions.php or bbpress-functions.php file.

add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names' );

function ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names() {
	return array(

		// Keymaster
		bbp_get_keymaster_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Keymaster Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() )
		),

		// Moderator
		bbp_get_moderator_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Moderator Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() )
		),

		// Participant
		bbp_get_participant_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Participant Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
		),

		// Spectator
		bbp_get_spectator_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Spectator Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_spectator_role() )
		),

		// Blocked
		bbp_get_blocked_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Blocked Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_blocked_role() )
		)
	);
}

Здравейте,
За първи път инсталирам bbPress и имам няколко въпроса.
От къде да взема български за последната версия – 2.5.1?
Къде да кача езиковите файлове?
Това ли е най-добрия и лесен плъгин за форум към WordPress?

Благодаря Ви предварително.

Does everything work fine with a default WordPress theme? (If so we can narrow it done to a theme issue and not some other issue).

[Dan]

So I’ve been trying to debug this problem for about a month and finally decided to try and get some extra help. Here’s a summary of what’s going on.

When a user clicks Edit, they are brought to a page that’s showing the excerpt for the reply, with a Continue Reading button. No editing can be done. Regular topics can be edited as expected, but replies are pulling from my post loop it seems.

Does anyone know where to begin looking for something like this? The theme’s creator is MIA (Huddle theme from Themeforest), and if I knew which files to begin digging through, I might be able to fix it on my own.

I’m using WordPress 3.7.1
I’m using BuddyPress 1.8.1
I’m using bbPress 2.4.1

I can provide more information upon request, would appreciate any help or general finger pointing to get me in the right direction. Thanks!

I had tried to post this last week with screenshots, but I think bbPress put it in the spam folder, so I’m trying again without the links to screenshots now.

Solved this with an extra link in the menu or in the admin bar if you use the plugin “Blue Admin”
https://wordpress.org/plugins/blue-admin/other_notes/

Instruction are here:

Menu link to Profile

[ronthai]

I just added to my menu all forum links from a user:
topics, replies, favorites, subscriptions, edit
all under 1 main “Your Forum Settings & Stats” Dropdown, but just call it anything you want.

Get the plugin “WP exec PHP” : https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-exec-php/
No security risk, since you can set the permission for who can add php to pages and such.

Create pages for any links to the profile you want and add the following REDIRECT with php-code in it (adjust to your own domain)

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://domain.com/forums/users/<?php global $current_user;
      get_currentuserinfo();

     echo  $current_user->user_login . "";
      
?>/edit/">

You could delay the refresh and add a little text to the page, or anything you want.

With many thanks to Diggories (above somewhere) for the php code to get the username in a URL

Here’s what the topic looks like: http://imm.io/1lH2h

Here’s what happens when I try to edit my first post / topic post: http://imm.io/1lH2t

Here’s what happens if I try to edit a reply: http://imm.io/1lH2y

The website is lootpalace.com – I’ve got a dev clone readily available for testing ideas out on.

With all due respect to the developers of bbPress and its plugins,

People, bbPress admins, should realize that bbPress is a plugin/add-on to WordPress and bbPress is ideal for adding a nice straight forward forum to your WP, what I am setting up now for myself for the first time next my WP.

I have extended experience with phpBB forum software.
Changes/addons like these is not what bbPress is intended for, in my humble opinion.
If you want all the extra’s and whistles, people should use phpBB, which also can be used next to WP. I believe WP has plugins for that and phpBB also supports it with MOD’s/plugins.

I’m using the Pagelines theme [before DMS] and they have a selector at the bottom of each page or post that you can select to make the page full width.

On forum pages, and individual threads, this option isn’t available. I know I can create a bbpress.php template which bbPress will look for, but I’m not sure how to deconstruct my theme, or set it up to be my default page, but minus the sidebar.

Help here would be much appreciated.

My page.php code doesn’t give me much indication as to how to craft this…

<?php
/**

Hi

Having never used bbpress before and being relatively new to wordpress, I’m struggling to get the forums on my site up and running.

Having spent 3 hours today just looking for the ‘forums’ tab, I eventually worked out that the reason I couldn’t find it was because in the latest version of buddypress (or bbpress?) there is no ‘forums’ tab – it is named ‘Groups’ instead! It seems the documentation on here is outdated and this has caused me no end of agro today aggggh!

Now I finally worked that out, and the forums option magically somehow appeared in my individual ‘groups’, I’m now unable to make a post in any groups, even when logged in as a keymaster!

Can anyone help me with this? I don’t even know where to find up to date documentation for this plugin now, everything I’ve read is outdated and has confused me. Can anyone point me in the direction of a place to find documentation for bbpress 2.5.1, when running with buddypress 1.8.1 on wordpress 3.7.1? Or just help me to get these forums useable!

Also, is there a way to allow forum users to add photos to their posts?

Thanks

1. registering is for both
2. use a plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/register-plus-redux/

[Cars10]

John, why is WordPress.org more up2date with rev 2.5.1 than https://bbpress.org/download/ still stuck in 2.4 and 2.5 beta/dev?
I am confused…

[Rachel Biel]

Help! I’ve been at this for hours and am going out of my mind…

I have the latest of everything, bbpress, buddypress and have deactivated all plugins except for buddypress, bbpress, members and akismet. I actually even deleted and reinstalled buddypress, bbpress and members. I deactivated my theme and am using the default buddypress one.

The site is visually a mess: http://www.tafaforum.com/

I am the only one who can post on the forums. Everything was fine until yesterday when several plugins updated, including bbpress. I had also been mucking around with trying to get a tinymce plugin to work for the forums.

If I disable everything and just have bbpress, I can post (as a fake member). Add buddypress, and I get a “You cannot reply to this topic” message at the bottom.

I messed around with roles and have enabled everything possible that could contribute to this, but the one thing that I notice is that the members all have an author role for their wordpress roles (as I want them to post on our blog), and even though they all show participant for their forum roles on the Users Page, when I go into the settings for the roles, I only see the author role as having any users, not the participant one.

Yes, this could be a buddypress or members issue, but bbpress is the one that had the latest update, so I figure that the problem starts here. If not, please send me where I need to go….

[Stephen Edgar]

Use this plugin, it was updated today to also support the new forum subscriptions 🙂

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-custom-reply-notifications/

[Toxed2loss]

I’m running wordpress 3.7.1, using Twenty-twelve, and Bbpress 2.5.1.have my site is http://www.theholisticchatterbox.com If you go to this page and click on any of the “recent Reply” links, it will take you to the first page of the replies. You have to click on the page numbers above to get to the last page. It started doing this after the last update. How can I fix it? I’ve looked in the widget & appearance menus. I’ve removed it and reinstalled it. Please help?

[jswartzendruber]

Hi 3tonine/Rachel – As a followup, make sure to have the latest version of the bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab plugin. I’m using WP 3.7.1, bbPress 2.5.1 with TinyMCE Advanced 3.5.9. I had to use bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab 1.0.1 in order for it work properly, and this doesn’t appear to be available yet from the WordPress Plugin Directory.

More info: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-in-bbpress-24

Regardless, thanks for the pointers to all the bits/bobs, once I got the correct versions it works great.

Hi

I’m trying to set my forum so that a non-member can view the list of topics in a forum but when they click on a topic to read it they get a message telling them they must be logged in to view the topic.

This bbPress forum does exactly what I’m trying to achieve.

I can hide the forums entirely using this code, but I want to show a list of topics to non-members but not allow them to view the content of the topic.

Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

Hey everyone. I’m new to BBPress and I may not be understanding portions of it correctly.

1. If someone registers for my wordpress website and sign in can they automatically start posting to my bbpress forums? (Do they then have a forum membership too?)

2. Currently the registration is as follows: user inputs username and email and then the password is sent to them via email which they have to reset… How can I build a custom registration form for my wordpress/bbpress site and forums that looks more like http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/register.php where the user can specify their password, agree to terms, etc? (I guess this also depends on if registering for wordpress or bbpress registers for each other as well)

The site I’m building right now is http:/www.thenextarpg.com with the Avada wordpress template.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks guys
