Is it possible to add some intro text to the forum archive page? I’ve set up a custom page called Discussions (client like that more than forums) by creating a page and setting BBpres to use that page slug.

What I’d like to do is enter some intro text however if I enter it under the page in WordPress it doesn’t come through. I tried adding <? the_content() ?> on the archive-forum.php page that I pulled into my theme here:

<h1 class=”entry-title”><?php bbp_forum_archive_title(); ?></h1>

<? the_content() ?>

<div class=”entry-content”>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘bbpress/content’, ‘archive-forum’ ); ?>

</div>

But that seems to pull the content from the last listed forum.

Any way to do this?

I have a wordpress website and I am using a WP zoom template and the forum doesn’t seem to function properly.

I have used the forum on a basic wordpress template and it works fine so I know the settings are correct but do I need to do something extra to get it working on WPzoom?

…am i missing something?

Thanks in advance

I use the Adminimize plugin. Amongst all the other useful settings there is an option to set what menu items are displayed by role.

Hi again, John.

I’m answering myself

I followed your clue and found this link: https://codex.wordpress.org/Taxonomies which explains very well what to do for creating a ‘forum_categories’ taxonomy.

Then I think I can just call bb_has_topics from my template with this parameter:

array(‘forum_categories’ =>

array(‘searched_category1’, ‘searched_category2, ….)

)

I will try and let you know.

Thanks a lot !!

[gplana]

Thanks a lot for your answer, John.

I agree, I think I will use forums (and forums categories) for canonical place, and I will try the WordPress categories taxonomy to do what I need. However, I have two questions:

1. Should I modify the core of bbPress for archieving this ? If I should, I don’t really like it because if a new version of bbPress is published then I won’t be able to upgrade easyly.

2. Does it already exist a plugin or something similar where this (using WordPress categories) is already implemented ?

Many thanks.

I recently completed a reinstallation of wordpress and kept the previous database. It appears that all has worked with the exception of the members directory. For some reason, this page does not list the existing site members. What do I need to do so that my members page reflects the site members taht shows up as site users?

Thanks,

Forums and categories are designed and architected to be the construct that groups topics and replies together into a familiar relationship.

What you want to do *could* be possible, but I think you’ll have more success creating your own taxonomy structure to group topics together with, and using the core Forum/Category structure as the canonical place where that topic ultimately lives.

Research creating custom WordPress taxonomies. It should help you achieve what you’re trying to do pretty easily.

[John James Jacoby]

I understand now. No need to send anything, thanks for the offer.

Growing pains with any software are sometimes difficult, for everyone – users and developers. The process of moving bbPress into a WordPress plugin was not without its own. I am confident that the end result with today’s iterations is better than the previous, and hopefully your experience coincides with that.

Hi !

I wonder if a topic can be assigned not just to a single forum, but to a multiple forum, just like WordPress posts can be assigned to multiple categories.

Imagine I have a question related to computers and medecine. Can I create a single topic under both forum categories computers and medecine ?

Thank you.

Thanks for your help. I gave it an earnest go yesterday and I finally got it to work for me today. I too wanted to get this working as a child theme, but ran into this issue (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-bbpress-error-the-active-theme-is-broken-reverting-to-the-default-theme) since I’m developing this on xampp. I ended up just putting it together, uploading it to the live server, and luckily, it wasn’t too far off.

[Anonymous User]

Never mind. Found the answer in this thread: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-get-bbpress-pages-to-use-a-specific-page-template-in-wordpress

[Anonymous User]

As per the topic title. Is there an order in which the bbPress plugin chooses which WordPress template file to display the board? Is it index.php first, then maybe page.php?

Is it possible to have a page-forum.php file in my WordPress theme, and have the plugin use that?

Most of my template files have a sidebar, and I’d like to remove that for the forum.

I am using a wordpress with a buddypress, bbpress pluggin, and salutation theme activated. When a user registers and tries to access their personal setting and notification the page cannot be found. http://www.therelieffoundation.com/wordpress/ Anyone having any luck fixing this?

It will append itself to existing WordPress core roles and capabilities, and adds a custom role for global forums in multi site installations.

[maryjan]

I have one portal with 6 subdomains. All in wordpress multisite network. I have also install buddypress and bbpress all in the newest versions.

I want to have only one forum on main site where i will have forums for subdomains blogs. These forums i can create manualy.

The issue is.

How can i get the latest topics from each forum from main site on subdomain blog ?

Do I need to get it from databese or how ?

Please help me

all i see in console on all pages that seems pertinent is following. any meaning?

[John James Jacoby]

Unsure if there is a way in the UI to see it. You should be able to log in as a subscriber and then start debugging that users role and capabilities. You could install/use the Debug Bar and Debug Bar Console plugins to allow you to safely play with WordPress functions and variables; otherwise you’re left to cowboy coding and var_dump’ing things out so you can see them.

You can also try out the “Members” plugn by Justin Tadlock. I believe it comes with a UI that allows you to map capabilities to each role. Unsure how well it plays with other permissions plugins like Wishlist though.

I am using the Custom Community Theme for my Template and i am trying to figure out how to change my BBpress template because the default one is Ugly and i have found some bbpress templates that i would like to use but i cant figure out how to make this work. Please any help with this would be Very Much Appreciated.

[birdwings]

I own a WordPress development company and one of my developers and I have a bbPress integration project we need help with. It’s our first project using bbPress and we are running into issues with the integration. We don’t have the time and capacity to figure it out ourselves and are looking to hire the help of a developer who has experience successfully integrating bbPress and WordPress databases.

I pay competitively by the hour and am looking for someone who can work in concert with my developer on just this aspect of the project. We are hiring immediately and aiming to complete this week. – email lisa@birdwingdesigns.com.

I will mark this resolved after we’ve found someone.

Hi guys,

When I’m searching themes in wordpress I just type wordpress themes in Google and more reference come out.

0.9 users should upgrade to (or start with) the 0.9 branch

which was the final version of 0.9

but 0.9.0.7 appears to simply be a copy of the final 0.9 branch

browse https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/0.9

zip https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3730/branches/0.9?old_path=%2F&format=zip

svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/branches/0.9/

From what I can tell, JJJ just copied the branch over to make “0.9.0.7”

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3517

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3535

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/log/tags/0.9.0.7/bb-includes?rev=3535

That’s all he did, there were no other changes, improvements or fixes.

But there really are some fixes in the final 0.9 branch over 0.9.0.6

There were 12 files changed from 0.9.0.6 to 0.9.0.7 (aka 0.9 branch)

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?old_path=%2Ftags%2F0.9.0.6&old=2338+&new_path=%2Ftags%2F0.9.0.7&new=3715

bb-includes/default-filters.php (1 diff)

bb-includes/wp-functions.php (2 diffs)

bb-includes/pluggable.php (1 diff)

bb-includes/functions.php (3 diffs)

bb-includes/registration-functions.php (1 diff)

bb-includes/template-functions.php (3 diffs)

bb-plugins/akismet.php (4 diffs)

bb-admin/bb-do-counts.php (3 diffs)

bb-admin/admin.php (1 diff)

bb-admin/admin-functions.php (2 diffs)

It’s hard to be 100% positive but I am pretty sure they addressed the base64 decoding bug.

Those with 0.9.0.6 can replace just these files to upgrade to 0.9.0.7

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?format=zip&new=3715&old=2338&new_path=%2Ftags%2F0.9.0.7&old_path=%2Ftags%2F0.9.0.6

(those running versions before 0.9.0.6 will need more files from a fuller upgrade, do not use just the above files as it will break your install)

Everyone should still use my mini-plugin to protect bbpress and wordpress for yet-unidentified security issues. It’s better than nothing. You can even remove the header and just copy the one IF block to your bb-config.php and wp-config.php

If 256 characters turns out to be too short of a URL restriction, some may need to raise it as high as 1024, for example in WordPress where it stupidly uses GET now to mass delete posts, which was a dumbfounding move on their part.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Block Long/Bad Queries (for bbPress and WordPress)

*/



if (strlen($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])>1024 ||

preg_match('@(eval|base64|unescape)[^a-zA-Z0-9]@si',$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']))

{

header('HTTP/1.1 414 Request-URI Too Long');

header('Status: 414 Request-URI Too Long');

header('Connection: Close');

exit;

}

[blogher8]

I hope _ck_ or someone else can answer.

I have 0.9.0.7 installed.

I just saw _ck_’s post here about a security patch plugin: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-103-released#post-84690

Ten months ago, _ck_ wrote,

“bbPress 0.9 users should install my unofficial “block-long-queries” mini-plugin to avoid the security bug that 1.0.3 fixes and similar unknown attacks in the future.

(it also works in 1.0 and WordPress)”

Since it seems like 0.9.0.7 came out five months later, I am wondering if this new release covers the patch or if it is still needed.

Note that I searched extensively for a post about the 0.9.0.7 release and the changes it represented, but I can’t see anything like that.

Also, I can’t ask in the original thread because it was closed.

Thanks!

@Daxx: Just to clarify, you have installed https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/ into a WordPress installation, right?

[SK]

That’s exactly how it will work if you install https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/

[Satish]

I know about adding these tags..but not sure where the array() is in bbpress ?

Can you point me to the file name where the empty array is present, where we can add our tags and its attributes.
