Hello netweb

I wrote my request on bbpress.track (see #2040)
I saw your reply on my forum and I answered.

bbPress does not currently support subscribing by email for anonymous users and as you point out there are no plugins (as at the time this posted) to perform this task either.

You have a couple of options: Write a plugin yourself, get someone else to write the plugin for you or submit a ‘feature request’ at https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ explaining in detail the feature you want to see in future versions of bbPress.

I tried installing bbPress 2.2 today because I’ve used it on another site and love it. But, the 3 custom post types didn’t show up in the navigation menu in the Admin panel at all (and entering the URL for them doesn’t work either). The bbPress “Forums” menu items do show up in Settings and Tools though. Strange.

I activated and deactivated all of my plugins and traced it to a conflict between WPMU Appointments+ and bbPress. As soon as I activate Appointments, the bbPress post types vanish. Does anyone have experience with fixing this? I need the Appointments feature on my site and really wish that I could use bbPress instead of some other forum plugin.

WordPress version 3.4.2
bbPress version 2.2
WPMU Appointments+ 1.1.5.1 plugin site

wordpress & bbpress definitely need better role/capability/permissions management, some 3rd party plugins can fill the gap for now, and i imagine the new system will be a step in the right direction, but we need some details on the new system  🙂

[Sam Rohn]

plugins like user role editor allow granular customization of user roles & capabilities, an important feature for cms/forum systems which wordpress/bbpress is otherwise lacking, google “granular permissions” for more info

so you would use it to inspect the permissions for your s2 or other roles and it should be a matter of just checking the boxes of the capabilities you want your roles to have, unless something has changed in bbp 2.2 ?

if you are careful it will not change (unless you tell it to) or break anything in my experience, but any changes made to role permissions are made to the db so proceed somewhat cautiously, and it is always possible to change things back if you kept screen shots of original role settings in plugin window –

but i’m still not sure exactly what the new role system is about at all, are there any reference links on this ?

You are using the ‘OneAll Social Login’ plugin to register users rather than the bbPress (WordPress) process and I would suspect that any errors related to incorrect username/password issues would be related to how this plugin is registering users with WordPress rather than this being a bbPress issue.

Try asking your question in the plugin support at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/oa-social-login and that may also sort out why users are not receiving the activation email also.

Embed Media means you don’t have to copy all of that HTML to post an image. It should be enough to just paste the link the the relevant image or video. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds.

My original setup was based on WordPress 3.4.2 and BuddyPress 1.6.1
I added a BP Group Forum which we realized will not be sufficient and if anything just confusing to members. So I completely deleted the Forums page and added a new page called Group Discussions. I then went to BP settings and pointed forums option to use this page. No problem there.

Next, I installed bbPress 2.2 / activated / added couple of test forums / check the slug making sure that it worked by going to: http://ch.lifewithababy.com/forums and it did.
Next step was to add a new Forums page which I did. Right after http://ch.lifewithababy.com/forums became blank??? Why???

I then deleted the Forums page and http://ch.lifewithababy.com/forums worked again… hmmm…
At this point I am confused…

So I ended up adding the page and then adding a shortcode to show the forum and it works, kind of.
It works for public but if I login as a member (one of my test buddypress members) the page no longer available??? As a logged in member I get “We’re sorry, but we can’t find the page that you’re looking for. Perhaps searching will help.” which makes no sense at all.

Could someone please help? I have no idea what is causing this mysterious behaviour and how to resolve it.

Thanks.

It’s not the permalink that’s broken, it’s the rewrite rule attached to it. If the rules were correct, WordPress would be serving the page correctly.

[John James Jacoby]

@xurxog – To the best of my knowledge, neither of those plugins includes a cleaner script to revert user capabilities back to normal, so you’re going to need to dream up a solution.

The reason this is a problem now, and not before, is bbPress has moved entirely to a dynamic roles system, even ahead of WordPress core (which in the future will move to something like what bbPress has now.)

Hello, I am using the Tisa wp theme from Themify and although I had no trouble installing and adding forums, this theme seems to mandate that the individual forum widgets appear in the sidebar. As it is the sidebar is overloaded and I would much prefer to put it within a page on my website. Is there code I can embed on the page(s) somewhere? How can I do this?

Thanks,
Jackie

I am using WordPress 3.4.2 and I would like to display the latest questions (last 5 or 10 Qs) in my static homepage. There is a way to add some code to my template and display bbpress questions?

Thanks,

[sambedingfield]

Just updated to 2.2 and had a run around to make sure everything is still compatible with my theme, and all is perfect apart from the pagination on each users profile.

The permalink to numbered pages is /users/admin/page/2/ and returns a 404, when on this forum the permalink looks like /users/admin/topics/page/2/

I’m guessing that updating bbPress is not the cause, as my site is too new to know if it was previously working – but I’m very grateful if you can help put me in the right direction for a fix!

Thanks.

– using latest bbPress & WordPress, toolbox theme + child bbPress Twenty Ten 1.1 overide

[John James Jacoby]

Now that bbPress 2.2 is out, please be sure to log any bugs you find that are specific to bbPress 2.2 on our bug tracker, setting the version to 2.2.

We’ll be keeping our eyes open for anything that requires quick fixing, while starting to plan out the dev cycle for bbPress 2.3.

Thanks y’all!

[John James Jacoby]

Fixed now. You can safely remove the last line of the file of bbpress.php manually if you’d like; the part that says:

exists check

That last line somehow got duplicated on Subversion export. The official logs here do not have that bit in it, just on WordPress.org. Sorry for the inconvenience y’all.

There is a moderation plugin called bbPressModeration (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpressmoderation/).

It allows administrators to manually approve each post before it gets published to the website. But it doesn’t send an email notification to the poster.

[John James Jacoby]

I added a filter called ‘bbp_verify_nonce_request_url’ in to bbPress 2.2 address this.

@hypnoscribe – Please don’t post big code dumps; it’s not easy to read and easily accessible by linking to your site, a pastebin, or any other place.

@netweb – If you’re going to answer questions, make sure they’re the correct answers. 🙂

Looking just a bit deeper in Inspector, you’ll notice the CSS isn’t part of WordPress or bbPress. Like @nguyenkinh said, this is a problem with the CSS in your theme.

[Verra]

Hi guy! I FIXED IT, be in heaven again.
Here’s my solution, as I said before, it’s about your theme. You should browse to your WordPress theme folder, open the style.css and if your problem are the same as mine you should find some code like this:
.reply {
margin: 10px 20px 0 0;
text-align: left;
text-transform: none;
font-size: 12px;
position: relative;
height: 25px
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
right: -20px;
}
Now you just simply put 2 lines
height: 25px
overflow: hidden;
in the comment or just delete it, cause I found in bbpress.css there is the id name reply, it was overide by WordPress.
If you need more details, email me.

Hi Keymaster,

can you give us a rough estimate, when 2.2 will be released?

[SK]

Ok, so how do I set Hungarian language for bbPress when my WordPress is a multilingual installation with WPML?

[zaerl]

Hi. The wordpress gettext template file is bbp-languages/bbpress.pot. You have to use a specific program for translating the strings. I use POEdit cause it works on all my machines.

http://www.poedit.net/download.php

Open POEdit and “create a file from template” on the “file” menu. There are a lot of strings taken out of the context and so I suggest you to check the source file line if you have problems.

Building a dictionary from widely used translations (WordPress/Akismet/Others) can speed up the process cause a lot of strings are the same of WordPress.

[John James Jacoby]

I’d hold off, as bbPress 2.2 will address this specifically.

[nyks-barton]

Looks perfect. As I only want to give Editors the forum-moderation, I think, I only have to add the first part of the code.

A small hint: as I understand the code, there the code-comment in the 2nd part i incorrect:s
$role = get_role( ‘author’ ); // gets the editor role
It gets the author-role, isnt it?

hi thank you for the quick response, helps a lot when you are trying to work your way through a problem. I must first say though I am new to this wordpress php bbpress thing.

SO you mentioned I use bbpress-functions.php? Can you be more specific I know you already are but I would like to know the exact steps to take if you will.

I know changing the following code in bbpress.php for the plugins>bbpress file. but if I change this than the updates will delete the changes I make so therefore I need to make a child theme. So where do I paste the following code in bbpress-functions.php?

public static function register_post_types() {

// Define local variable(s)
$post_type = array();

/** Forums ************************************************************/

// Forum labels
$post_type[‘labels’] = array(
‘name’ => __( ‘Enchanted’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘menu_name’ => __( ‘Enchanted’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘singular_name’ => __( ‘Forum’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘all_items’ => __( ‘All Forums’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘add_new’ => __( ‘New Forum’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘add_new_item’ => __( ‘Create New Forum’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘edit’ => __( ‘Edit’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘edit_item’ => __( ‘Edit Forum’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘new_item’ => __( ‘New Forum’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘view’ => __( ‘View Forum’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘view_item’ => __( ‘View Forum’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘search_items’ => __( ‘Search Forums’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘not_found’ => __( ‘No forums found’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘not_found_in_trash’ => __( ‘No forums found in Trash’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘parent_item_colon’ => __( ‘Parent Forum:’, ‘bbpress’ )
);
