ok, if you have ftp access then…

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Then look at line 74

<span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author"><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?></span>

The ‘size’ => 14 is the avatar size, so reduce this to what you want.

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

[Robkk]

i dont think this is a bbpress issue.

try switching your theme to a default theme like twenty twelve

or see if a plugin is causing the issue , deactivate every plugin but bbpress if that fixes the issue reactivate them one at a time to see what plugin might be causing the issue.

[Adri Oosterwijk]

I had not try to install and run bbPress without other plug ins.

I deactivate any other plug in and switched to the default twentytwelve theme.

Now it works.
So I have to find out wicht plugin or what part of the child theme is causing this issue.
Thanks for now and I will get back when I know more.

[Robkk]

okay i think i got this

install the bbpress topics for posts plugin

you can go to your discussion settings and edit what you want to show how you like i did like this

i ticked the ones with [X]

[ ] Create a new bbPress topic in ~~~ for new posts
(check this if you want to replace wordpress comments with bbpress entirely)

[X] Copy post tags to new topics

[X] Copy post comments to new topics (when available)

On the post page, show:

[ ] Entire topic

[X] show reples only

[ ] Only the ~~~ most recent/oldest replies

[ ] A link to the topic

the rest of the settings are for if you want to display a link below your blog post to lead to the topic.

create your page called “Learn Dash” if you already did , edit the page

go to the screen options in the very top , click it , now check discussion settings this should show the settings for comments, pinkbacks, and bbpress topics for posts.

check the Use a bbPress forum topic for comments on this post option

now check both settings that say copy post tags and use default display settings.

now either use a specific topic from the id , or automatically create a topic from this post to a specific forum.

[Robkk]

yeah i am a little too

hmmm did you try bbpress by itself with no other plugins activated??

when you do try it by itself use a default theme like twentytwelve and see if we can find the issue.

you could get the product custom post type from woocommerce right??

[DuncanMarshall]

It seems this is a known issue for WordPress when ordering by meta query. BBPress does this to order by “last active” which is the default (and in my case, desired).

Loading a forum index, on my site, takes about 20 seconds.

Here is the offending SQL:

    [9] => Array
        (
            [0] => SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS  wp_posts.ID FROM wp_posts  INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id) WHERE 1=1  AND wp_posts.post_parent = 9  AND wp_posts.post_type = 'topic' AND (wp_posts.post_status = 'publish' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'closed' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'private' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'hidden') AND (wp_postmeta.meta_key = '_bbp_last_active_time' ) GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY wp_postmeta.meta_value DESC LIMIT 0, 15
            [1] => 19.448324918747
            [2] => require('wp-blog-header.php'), require_once('wp-includes/template-loader.php'), apply_filters('template_include'), call_user_func_array, bbp_template_include, apply_filters('bbp_template_include'), call_user_func_array, bbp_template_include_theme_compat, BBP_Shortcodes->display_forum, bbp_get_template_part, bbp_locate_template, load_template, require('/themes/xx/bbpress/content-single-forum.php'), bbp_has_topics, WP_Query->__construct, WP_Query->query, WP_Query->get_posts
        )

There’s a ticket which seems to be addressing my problem here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1925

Unless I’m misreading it, the upshot is “We should probably be using post_modified on the topic instead of a meta value for ‘last activity’, so as to avoid using the JOIN… but we haven’t yet”.

So how do other sites do it? This one, for instance? Or WordPress.org? They have more posts than I do, but have got around this issue somehow.

Any solution?

Thanks.

ok, more drastic action required

Sorry I’m running out of ideas beyond this … 🙂

[Robin W]

@vikingpoker

I have another plugin user with this issue, which helps as it should get me quicker to a solution.

But can I also ask your help?

Could I please ask you to do 2 things (or any combination will help me)

1. Could you try version 1.2 – I’m not sure if the latest version 1.3 is an issue

Therefore could you go to http://www.rewweb.co.uk/bbp-style-pack-1-2/ and follow the instructions.

If this works, then let me know, as it will eliminate much of my code as the issue.

2. If you are able to could you :
a. Deactivate all plugins except bbpress and bbp style pack and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error when my plugin is also active.
b. If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then switch back to your normal theme and re-enable all plugins (except mine as this is causing the issue) and come back with the results

[Robin W]

It was quicker to code it than describe it.

Basically I’ve created a new widget called (rew) Login Widget

Copy all the below into your functions file

You’ll see that all it required was taking out the label, and putting ‘placeholder’ into the input line

I even changed lost password into forgot your password !

The go into widgets and you’ll see the new widget (rew) Login Widget

enjoy !

I do have the “Member” role set at the default under Settings > Forum.

One other thing I noticed is to make sure that when editing the user the Secondary Roles would become checked when switching to different roles and I had to make sure that only the one selected under Forum Role was the one selected under Secondary Roles as well…

Otherwise, like for the “board” role, it had Participant checked also along with Board Member and the Board Member roles never seemed to actually apply until I unchecked Participant.

[Robin W]

Hmmm.. I’ve just spent some time playing with this code, and it’s not really working.

It is quoted in lots of sites inc http://gawainlynch.com/customising-dynamic-roles-in-bbpress-2-2/

But as far as I can see you get the member role, but the site default role capabilities – can’t work out why at the moment. What is you site default, and would that make sense?

[kc9wwh]

Hello Everyone,

So I’ve been working to get some custom permissions setup for our site and are running into some issues…I’ve followed the document located here and in turn have added the following code to my functions.php file in my child theme:

//code to add members and board roles
 
function add_new_roles( $bbp_roles )
{
    /* Add a role called member */
    $bbp_roles['bbp_member'] = array(
        'name' => 'Member',
        'capabilities' => custom_capabilities( 'bbp_member' )
        );
 
    /* Add a role called board */
    $bbp_roles['bbp_board'] = array(
        'name' => 'Board Member',
        'capabilities' => custom_capabilities( 'bbp_board' )
        );
 
    return $bbp_roles;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_new_roles', 1 );
 
function add_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role )
{
    /* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
    if( $role == 'bbp_member' )
        $caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
 
    if( $role == 'bbp_board' )
        $caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
 
    return $caps;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'add_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );
 
function custom_capabilities( $role )
{
    switch ( $role )

                'assign_topic_tags'     => true,
            );
 
            break;
 
        default :
            return $role;
    }
}

The problem I am running into is that the bbp_member role can’t seem to read and private topics, even though I have that capability set to true…? The bbp_board role works just as expected and in playing with the bbp_member role it seems to come down to the “moderate” capability…which I really don’t want on for our regular members.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

I have the latest versions of WP, bbPress and BuddyPress installed.

Thank you

[format19]

Hi Robin,

I do understand I too have had other things to do.

I dont know what you mean by “the standard wordpress registration” do you mean the standard bbpress registration ?

I installed WordPress, I installed bbpress, I installed Buddy Press
The default registration page is now NOT the default wordpress it is the bbpress registration?
And by default the bbpress plugin ads “Profile Fields” of which there is a default set of “NAME” which you cant delete and IS required. I believe it is this field that is transferring to the “Nickname” field and causing the problem.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/3mzrx6ry5stb7mh/deault%20Profle%20Field.jpg?dl=0

See the pic above

I have just run a test, i registered
Username : testing2
Name : Testing Two

Here is a screen shot of what registered
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lxu0vysxd3edams/deault%20Profle%20Field2.jpg?dl=0

So the first and last name are definitely being filled out from that default Name field (dont really care about the first and last name, its the nickname thats the problem)

Any ideas? I cant go live with this site promising anonymity and then have the users name displayed in the address bar 😕

Thanks
Mark

@robin-w ,

Hi Robin,
can I just clarify something here as my problem is different to milenushkas in that the fix of r5409 applied before adding 2618.4.diff definitely worked for subscribing to Topics and Replies.

However there is still an outstanding issue in terms of subscribing to Forums which is exhibiting some weird behaviour. I worked on this late into the night and found your plugins and was hoping the topic- subscribe would solve the issue when subscribed to a forum but unfortunately it didn’t.

For anyone else following this thread my understanding from @netweb (Stephen Edgar) is that when you are subscribed to a Forum a user will only be notified of New Topics and not to changes within existing ones which you need to subscribe to separately.

So last night I tried the following:-
1. As admin created a new topic in the backend. Absolutely no notifications received by other users subscribed to the Forum to show a new topic has been created but admin notified of pending Topic as expected.

2. As a user created a new topic in the frontend. Absolutely no notifications received by other users subscribed to the Forum to show a new topic has been created but admin notified of pending Topic as expected.

3. Weird behaviour. As admin created a topic in the frontend and this time a message was received by the user and admin !! However both the user message and admin message contained strange text. For the user at the beginning before the normal message of “You are receiving this email because you subscribed to a forum.” it showed the following – nb the items in bold have been changed for security purposes.

On the Admin notification I am getting the information below. However one thing I have noticed that is different to the email notifications for the topics and reply that is working is that the From details are showing as Website Name <mail@websiteurl> in the Forum notifications instead of Website Name <noreply@websiteurl>.

The To details are showing as <noreply@websiteurl> on both the Forum Notifications and Topic/Replies Notification so somehow there is an issue with the From details picking up my default email address instead of the <noreply@websiteurl>.

ADMIN NOTIFICATION
noreply@mywebsitename
A communication failure occurred during the delivery of your message. Please try resending the message later. For more tips to help resolve this issue, see DSN code 5.4.1 in Exchange Online – Office 365. If the problem continues, contact your email admin.
The following organization rejected your message: DB3FFO11FD020.mail.protection.outlook.com.
(NB the proper notification message is also attached within this information)

Hope there is sufficient for you to troubleshoot this but cannot understand why a user creating a topic in the frontend and an admin creating a topic in the backend doesn’t generate any email but an admin creating a topic in the frontend does generate an email but contains spurious information for both the user and admin.

Hi,

I am new to BBPress so please be gentle 🙂

When I want to make a post sticky in one forum and click on the ‘Stick (To Front)’ option at the bottom of post it defaults to making it super sticky and therefore appears in every forum. Is there anyway to have a button that just makes the post sticky instead of super sticky?

Hi @robin-w

My email in settings is set to my site’s email , and I tested it with the plugin you suggested too, it says its all good:

This test email proves that your WordPress installation at “Mysite” can send emails. Sent: Wed, 11 Feb 2015 08:27:40 +0000

Subscribers also receive email notifications from buddypress- if somebody replies to their comment, or tags them in a post – or a bbpress thread.

Just no email at all if one is subscribed to the forum, topic or replies.

I am not using the mandrill service (wpMandrill), so this solution I think- does not apply to me https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/problem-with-the-default-do-not-reply-email-address/
and my server is bluehost.

The forum is a big part of my site’s community life , so the fact that there are no email notifications is pretty upsetting.

I searched this forum and for days, really hope there is a simple solution.

P.s I also tested it without any plugins but bbpress, default theme and reinstalled bbpress. Still no email are being received.

Thank you

@netweb I would really appreciate if you could take a look at this thread too.

there is another one that seems unresolved here

Email notifications not working; looking for help

[KatieKat]

Hi Robin,
thanks for the response it is much appreciated.

I have now fixed this for topic subscriptions by following the support thread below and email notifications are being received. However forum subscription notifications are still not working. Would you know why it is working for topics but not forums?

Problem with the default "do not reply" email address

“I have just added a patch, you need r5409 applied before adding 2618.4.diff”

Kind regards

ok, so

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/user-details.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Now edit that file so that you add a new line between line 16 & 17 which currently read

<div id="bbp-single-user-details">
<div id="bbp-user-avatar">

so add

<h1>  <?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'display_name' ); ?> </h1>

after this line so that you end up with

<div id="bbp-single-user-details">
	<h1>  <?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'display_name' ); ?> </h1>
	<div id="bbp-user-avatar">

as the three lines.

and save

It should now display

Yes. So my site has 3 set sidebars, not including bbPress sidebar when bbPress tweak is activated. These are:
*default sidebar
*building sidebar
*health sidebar
I can create any page and apply any of these sidebars without issue. As soon as I use the permalink \forums and the forum is used, then no matter which sidebar I select for use on the page, nor whether I use bbPress tweak, only the default sidebar is used.

I appreciate the help and I will undertake or answer any further questions you have, but not for some time. I’m guessing you guys are based on the US but it’s pretty late here so I best be off. Look forward to nutting this out further in the morning.

Thanks,
Brenden.

Locate the form-anonymous.php file within templates/default/bbpress and remove the following paragraph.

<p>
<label for=”bbp_anonymous_website”><?php _e( ‘Website:’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?></label><br />
<input type=”text” id=”bbp_anonymous_website” value=”<?php bbp_author_url(); ?>” tabindex=”<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>” size=”40″ name=”bbp_anonymous_website” />
</p>

The website field should now disappear 🙂

Hi Guys,

Sorry in advance as I am going to be a pain in the ass here I bet, as I have very, very limited experience with wordpress or any website building for that matter; however, that’s marginally more than anyone else in my company so I’ve been saddled with the duty of getting it all set up and running.

Prologue
I have decided to create a forum and have downloaded bbPress for this. I needed to make certain things private and downloaded bbPress private to help with that. I wanted to make custom sidebars and downloaded bbPress tweak for that feature.

We had the website made by an external company, they created it on wordpress and created a custom theme with a lot of templates within the themes. Call be cynical, but I think it was to try and squeeze us for every cent by making us come to them for any minor variation.

Situation
Despite all my attempts through every simple way I could think of I can not get my forum to show a custom side bar. The forum itself though is set up as I want it and more than workable, it’s just the aesthetics of having the right sidebar.

Troubleshooting Undertaken
* I started with all three plugins activated and created my forum and created a page could forums. So the permalink was set up. The sidebar was not what was expected. I have tried using every default template and every sidebar that my site has to no avail. Sidebar stayed exactly the same as it was.
* I went in to the setting of bbPress Tweak and selected the different .php files, only the bottom 3 were in bold and when I selected the 2nd or 3rd from the bottom nothing happened. When I selected the bottom one, the side bar moved from the side to underneath and the forum went to full screen width.
* I deactivated bbPress Tweak and tried again, nothing new happened, same old sidebar.
* I decided to change the permalink away from the slug to see if when it was just a standard page if I could change the sidebar (to try and see if it was a bbPress forum problem or a theme template problem). The sidebar changed to what ever I wished it to be and I could change from sidebar to fullwidth as I pleased.

Conclusion
I am left to believe that it must be a problem (problem isn’t the right word) with bbPress loading a specific template/sidebar. I don’t understand why bbPress tweak is not able to overwrite this though?

Any help would be of great assistance, though as mentioned to begin with, I am very new to all this so you may need to dumb down the help if you can.

I would like to change default order of attachment which are displayed in order of they are uploaded. Can I change it somehow?

[markf1]

so just to be clear and re-cap.

When I left everything the same, with bbPress.php in my child theme, and the default/unchanged twenty twelve parent theme, then activated the twenty twelve theme – the forum links worked and the problem went away.

Switch back to child theme and problem resumes.

Add bbPress.php to Twenty Twelve theme and then activate Twenty Twelve – problem remains.

thanks for your ongoing help!
