I just upgraded WordPress from 3.3.1 to 3.4.2 and now the spam and trash admin links on my topics/replies do not work. They bring me to the same URL as before, but nothing happens to the topic/replies.

[mostafaqanbari]

when i click on “replies created” or “replies to” button in my bbpress forum i cant get any replies created by a user! how can i do this? actually i installed bbpress beside buddypress inside WordPress! everything seems fine but i cant get this. Topics created by user work just fine but replies don’t!
i found out “user-topics-created.php” controls topics created inside bbpress but we dont have such file for Replies! like “user-replies-created.php”!! Any help will be appreciate.

I did little search on net and now issue is resolved by following this. http://www.blackbam.at/blackbams-blog/2011/06/09/wordpress-custom-external-authentication-loginlogout-php-script/

Hi

I have a wordpress(3.4.1) installation and I don’t use standard WordPress
Authentication. I have my own login page(mylogin.php) where I capture the
userid/password and then compare with values in my own user table.

Now I am using BBPress plugin(2.2.2). I have created a page(askanexpert) in
wordpress and inside that page I have put the BBPress shortcode [bbp-forum-index].
Now from frontend when the user does login and go to forum(http://www.domainname.com/askanaexpert),
bbpress forum is visible and all the topics are visible, but forum shows the message that

“You must be logged in to create new topics.”

I think it happens because BBPress is perhaps looking for some authenticated cookie which
was not created due to my custom authentication.

Is there a way to create the cookie from my custom authentication page, which
bbpress will understand ?

I can not get rid of my custom authentication. Is there a way to fix it, so that when user is
logged in to wordpress site he/she can use the forum as regular logged in user without login again?

I am fine to do some programming, but not sure which way to go.

I’m new to WordPress, and I have installed buddypress, which I understand installs bbpress.

Is there a way to promote promote a topic to a blog post, and vice versa?

Thanks.

Edit: I changed the topic title and moved it to the plugins forum. Cheers, Netweb

I know! You guys have great product. I love that it is so light-weight at not packed down with features I may never need! Plus the seamless integration into WordPress is fantastic. I hope I can get it to work.

I’m really hoping someone can help me figure out some sql queries I would like to run (especially spwestwood). I have been working on migrating a forum for a number of days now and would love if I could get some help on this last piece. I started out with a Phorum > migrated to SMF > migrated to phpBB3 > migrated to bbPress. The first 3 conversions were all successful. I would stay with phpBB3 but even after I loaded WordPress I could not get all my PHP to work properly on the forum page and I really like the bbPress integration into WordPress. But, I have the same anonymous error on the majority of my posts (55k) because, I believe, these are actually anonymous users who were not required to sign-up in order to post. The problem seems to be that bbPress uses only an ‘id’ to attach the name of the poster to the post and phpBB3 uses a ‘username’ field that actually contains the name within the table. All of these unregistered users simply default to user id = anonymous (1998 in my case). Here’s my solution… only, I don’t really know how to implement it as I have limited mySQL experience.. so please bare with me as this is all theoretical and I have no idea if it will work… and how to write it out in sql commands.

Step 1: I want to take phpbb_posts.post_username and assign new users in wp_users for each unique user name (I want to avoid duplicates obviously!). I would like that user_name assigned to both wp_users.user_login and wp_users.display_name. Now I have user accounts for all these anonymous posters.

Step 2: Convert the date format in phpbb_posts.post_time from an integer to the ‘datetime’ php format using the from_unixtime sql command… or something. That way I can accurately match the date/time field in both databases since they currently use different encoding.

Step 3. When wp_posts.post_date = phpbb_posts.post_time match phpbb_posts.post_username to wp_users.user_login GET id and assign to wp_posts.post_author

Does this make any sense? Or am I completely off the ball here? THANK YOU SO MUCH for any help!!

Go into wp-admin>settings>forums. You can set the slug there for the different levels within the forum and then create a custom menu link to that slug. By default the root slug for bbPress 2.2 is yourdomain.com/forums. …In case anyone runs across this forum…

[LabSecrets]

1) Create a new page
2) Add the bbPress ShortCode for forum index: https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/  which is [bbp-forum-index]
3) Save the page
4) Go to Settings/Reading and choose this new page as the default home page (instead of your blog).

This will get you a bbPress Forum index on your home page.

To make a “mix” of your bbPress and blog posts, you need to modify your home page template file. This differs per theme, but may be called home.php or index.php (it’s in your theme folder). You would add the bbPress shortcode above the WP loop that displays blog posts. Use the do_shortcode method shown here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode

so it would be (within php tags): do_shortcode('[bbp-forum-index]')

If you do this, then you won’t need to  create a page and modify your Settings/Reading as elaborated in steps 1 to 4 above.

Good luck!

I am not sure how to register new users for my forum. I don’t want to have an open registration at all. I just want to add new users after they manually submit their info to me. How can I do this?

Adding memory to the WordPress config will not work for every host. Again, it is best you ask your host to bump this up for you.

Morning all,

I’m just in the process of doing a fresh wordpress + buddypress install.
All is going well for the most part with the exception of the global forums.
So I enabled Group forums, and thats going fine.
I then enabled Global forums and it ran through what seemed like a bbPress install.
All fine (with the exception of bbPress trying to use the same slug ‘forums’, but that was an easy one.
Now: To create a dedicated page/tab for the global forums is there a short-code I can simply add to a new page?
Also, nothing from the global forums seem to be appearing in the members activity stream. Is that normal?

Cheers
Jase

While I certainly understand WordPress’ failings in the user/role/cap department, this update to bbPress has caused a major issue. See, for folks who have been using role-editing plugins (such as my Members plugin), they’re now getting errors because of “dynamic roles”.

This update messes up other plugins that work with the system WordPress has in place (editable roles). Now, I’m stuck with support questions, emails, and forum posts asking why my plugin is broken when bbPress introduced this problem. This is a major issue that should probably be resolved soonish because many of the users of my Members plugin are going to hit this issue as they update their bbPress installs. The two plugins previously worked in perfect harmony. In fact, many bbPress users started using Members to have the level of control they needed for their forums.

Admittedly, I haven’t dug into the code yet. But, I’m guessing the problem with a role-editing plugin and bbPress is that the bbPress roles cannot be edited, which was standard functionality before. Since bbPress is modifying the overall [editable] roles array, there’s no way for my plugin to separate the two sets of roles (editable, WordPress-style roles vs. dynamic, bbPress-style roles).

Obviously, I could write some bbPress-specific code in my plugin to overcome this issue, but why should I? That means I’d have to keep up with bbPress role updates to make sure I stay in line with this new system. Plus, this sets precedence for other plugins to use this same, dynamic roles system.

I think bbPress should stick to doing what it does best: being an awesome forum plugin. Leave the role/cap stuff to plugins meant to handle this sort of thing. At the very least, it would’ve been nice to give a heads up to plugin authors who maintain role-editing plugins.

I’m not against the ideas presented with dynamic roles (I’m actually intrigued by it), but let’s wait for WordPress to catch up if this is the direction it’ll eventually go in.

I’ll definitely be looking into the issue further, but I’ve got a busy schedule at the moment.

This type of requests should be posted here -> http://jobs.wordpress.net/

There is a plugin that enables attachments – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/, however past that currently there is no other method. It’s certainly on the list for core, we just haven’t gotten to it yet.

[csk]

I don’t even know what to say.

I added 500+ members as “Forum Participants”, because this is a large membership website.

After the update, they were changed to something else. Currently, after the update, all of the members are “Subscribers” for WordPress Role and “-No role for this site-” for Forum Role, but they still have access to the forums.

I hope I don’t have to manually edit 500+ users to change the Forum role. Hopefully the developer can chime in.

[aaclayton]

Same issue here, also a bit scared to remap user roles. I looked into it, turns out as part of the new bbPress update that restructured some of its own user roles, it actually removed certain capabilities from existing roles. For example, my site-wide administrator role didn’t have the capability to read_hidden_forums or read_private_forums, in addition to 20 or so other bbPress specific capabilities.

If you are using default (or custom) WordPress roles in a bbPress environment, you may need to go in and grant them some of the bbPress specific capabilities.

[Pippin Williamson]

Yes, but you need to install the New Topic Notification extension from @jaredatch: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-new-topic-notifications/

[David Gwyer]

I have a normal WordPress site with the bbPress Plugin installed.

Is there a hook or template tag I can use to run code when any type of front end bbPress page is displayed (forum/topic/reply etc.)?

I want to run some custom code, but only if the current page is a bbPress page. I don’t want code to run on every page on my site when it’s not needed (i.e. for non-bbPress pages).

Thanks.

Thanks plauclair

[Hangout]

Same for me, i think it is beacuse i’m using WordPress 3.5.2.
