Hi, I’m having a big problem with a client’s site of mine.

Last week there was no problems. His forums are set to be private so only users with the correct roles can read and write. New registered users get assigned to a role I’ve created called “webshop customer” and forum role is Spectator (I created this using a guide I found). So as you know with Private forums a Spectator shouldn’t even get access to it. This worked to maybe 3 days ago for no apparent reason. Now suddenly all users with Spectator role can read and even write(!) in the forums without any barriers.

I fixed this yesterday by reinstalling BBPress and it worked. But the next day the problem was back… I don’t know how to fix this.

If you want admin details or FTP I can send you them. The only file I’ve changed is the “feedback-no-forums.php” inside “bbpress/templates/default/bbpress” to show some info for the Spectator user. I have no idea…

@cubeacid: You want this: Do not allow users to publish new topics, just replies on your topics. Correct?

1, Install plugin: WPFront User Role Editor
2, Go to Roles => All roles => and choose Participant, it has 8 capabilities
3, You need uncheck publish_topics and edit_topics and assign_topic_tags and delete_topic_tags
4, with this plugin you can do it because it is built in role from plugin bbPress
5, But, we can customize it with filter function pasted below
6, Jast paste it into function.php and refresh the page in admin plugin WPFront User Role Editor in Participate role how magicaly capabilities are removed 🙂
7, If the participant or regular registered user will go on topics, they will be message “You cannot create new topics.” and if user click on your own created topic, he can reply 🙂

Paste it into functions.php

function my_custom_get_caps_for_role_filter($caps, $role)
{
    /* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
    if ($role == 'bbp_participant' )
        $caps = my_custom_get_caps_for_role($role);

    return $caps;
}
add_filter('bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'my_custom_get_caps_for_role_filter', 10, 2);

function my_custom_get_caps_for_role($role)
{
    switch ($role) {
        case 'bbp_participant':
            return array(
                
                // Primary caps

I have try that ad for me it works.

[Robin W]

you may need to rule out other factors, as far as I know bbpress works with woocommerce eg

bbPress WooCommerce Integration: Tutorial on How to setup a Paid Forum on WordPress

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and woocommerce 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.

[esportsstream]

So i made a new file called bbpress-functions.php and put this into it

<?php
//code to add tutor role 

function add_apply_role( $bbp_roles )
{
	/* Add a role called apply */
	$bbp_roles['bbp_apply'] = array(
		'name' => 'apply',
		'capabilities' => custom_capabilities( 'bbp_apply' )
		);
	return $bbp_roles;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_apply_role', 1 );

function apply_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role )
{
	/* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
	if( $role == 'bbp_apply' )
		$caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
 
	return $caps;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'apply_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );

function custom_capabilities( $role )
{
	switch ( $role )
	{
		 
		/* Capabilities for 'apply' role */
		case 'bbp_apply':
			return array(
				// Primary caps
				'spectate'              => true,

			);
			break;
 
		default :

	}
}

I have no idea where i put this file in my site directory……

[esportsstream]

I am using bbpress ver 2.5.4

This is my problem. Spectator can not post (want to change this) spectator can not see private forums (which I want to keep the same)

Contributor can post (I do want) Can see private forums (dont want)

This is what i want to do. I want to either make it so a spectator can post and not see private forums or I want to set it up a new default subscriber role that can post in normal forum sections but can not see or post in private sections until I turn them into contributor.

How do I do this? I am using bbpress as a plugin for my wordpress site not on wordpress.org

Thanks

[raulliive]

Figured out all my issues with bbpress :).

The culprit was that I had hidden a default language in WPML, which broke in bbpress quite some things.

[Robin W]

If I have understood, you would probably need to alter

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php

copy it to a bbpress directory within the root of your theme and edit it there, and bbpress will use it

probably change line 42/43 to take out the if single forum bit ?

[josuawahyudi]

hi robin,

many thanks for your respond.
yes i use default permalinks…

i just change it to “postname” and the result: all the parent & child forum cannot work

this is the message i got:
The requested URL ****** was not found on this server
Apache Server at domain.com Port 80

looks like i just got to use 1 level forum only?

[Robin W]

Presuming you have default permalinks (don’t worry if you have no idea what this means) then it is a known issue with wordpress 4.0 and is in the queue for a fix on the next release.

in the meantime you can either

move you child themes up a level

or (better) change your permalinks to ‘pretty’ ones.

see https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks for explanation of what a permalink is

go to

Dashboard>settings>permalinks and set them to ‘postname’

[Robin W]

@creator2000

ok, if you haven’t already try

dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums run all of them but only one at a time
the run the permalink reset again.

@solosails

Presume you have tried resetting permalinks, have disabled all the plugins and switched to default theme as above?

[unihead]

A day has passed and the flood of spam registrations seems to have completely stopped. So far I’m very impressed with Wangguard. For a start, it does one simple thing which the default installation of bbPress should do – it allows me to pose a question to new registrars that has to answered correctly to proceed. Seems so simple, but it took me ages to find something that would allow me to do that.

I really don’t understand why like bbPress doesn’t have basic tools included that can stop the inevitable wave of spam registrations that happen to every new bbPress user. It’s just an endless waste of time for everyone who has to go through the same process of frustration, every time.

[Robin W]

If I have understood you correctly you want to change the reply form you’ll be looking at

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php which sets up the forum and on line 57 calls

bbp_the_content

this function is in

wp-content/plugins/bbpress\includes\common\template.php

line 1706

you’d probably want to write a filter fro that function

if you’re familiar with wordpress args parsing, bbpress does it in the same way

apply_filter (‘xx’ , ‘bbp_before_get_the_content_parse_args’)

and then write a function xx that adds you initial text to $args[‘before’] should do it

Don’t; have time to write and test it at the mo, but come back if you need further help

Hi,
i’m using Buddypress groups extras plugin for to add custom pages in section of group

I have created manually three page for one group so the administrator can edit them.

But I ask you:
1) can I create this three pages as default for all present groups and future?
2) can I associate a template to these pages?

Thanks.

[CodingMachine]

I found Solution…! hope may someone else with same customs…
steps to do display wp_users roles excluding bbpress default role
1) First create a folder in your child theme named wp-content/theme/yourchildtheme/bbpress.
2) Then copy the loop-single-reply.php from wp-content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress
3) Go line 47 and replace the line

bbp_reply_author_link( array( ‘sep’ => ‘<br />’, ‘show_role’ => false ) );

with

bbp_reply_author_link( array( ‘sep’ => ‘<br />’, ‘show_role’ => false ) );
$reply_author_id = get_post_field( ‘post_author’, bbp_get_reply_id() );
$user = new WP_User( $reply_author_id );

if ( !empty( $user->roles ) && is_array( $user->roles ) )
{
foreach ( $user->roles as $role )
{
/*if (preg_match(“/”.$roles.”/i”, “administrator”))
{
echo(“Administrator”);
break;
}
else*/
echo “<div class=’role_custom_bhush’>”.ucfirst($role).”</div>”;
break;
}
}

hope anyone find it helpful and can reply for any queries on this

Thank you for your reply.

I’ve had a look at the article but unfortunately i’m not much further with this. I only have one page template – the default page.php and i’ve tried creating a bbpress page template as described but this doesnt change anything. I can’t see in my page.php any reference to a different style for the index page.

If feels like i should focus first on sorting out my breadcrumb/structural issue. I can’t understand why my site isnt using the page name in the breadcrumb as appears to be the case on other example bbpress sites. See here.

The example site uses the default slugs whilst the breadcrumb uses the page name – as you’d expect. I’m not clear what to do to get my site working in this way which would get rid of my double index page issue.

I found the way to fix the gray out issue for most people. However this didnt worked for me.

In this folder: /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css
Open up bbpress.css and find #bbpress-forums .status-closed,

I changed color: #ccc; to #000;

This should have fixed the gray out issue. However it did not worked =/

This is a paste of the bbpress.css file: I changed line 59

Hi

If you mean “3. Creating a forum page”, method 2, I tried that & was able to create this forum using the shortcode => [bbp-forum-index].

On the Forum settings page & “/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=forum” page, it seems this only deals with the forum supposed according to the bbpress default settings to appear at /forums, but consistently wont.

Does it mean all the forums & subforums have to be created using shortcodes (if so, any link where to find them?).

This problem is not being experienced on another site sharing the same web hosting account, and has a separate domain. In the root of this particular, problematic site is some web directory. I wonder whether its moved the site to?

I had a similar issue of consistent failure of accessing /recipes, generated by the recipepress reloaded plugin showing the recipe archive page, even with recommended default settings & permalinks, but just like the bbpress forum at /forums, it had the right url, but content of the site/blog front page. The plugin author, though said it was a bug in the plugin & changes in the code corrected the problem described here. Correct link now here.

Could there be anything in this root folder .htaccess of the web directory (unrelated to WordPress), which may be causing this & affecting the functioning of bbpress (& not other plugins like Buddypress & co) or WordPress proper & in directory.com/wordpress & even in wordpress.directory.com? I ma not conversant with .htaccess & co. 😉

So just wondering what to do next.

Thank you for taking the time to look into this.

Kind regards

Hello,
I’m trying to convert a phpBB 3.0.x to bbPress using the default import tool by bbPress, but it looks that user avatars are not imported.
Anyone know how to import theme? (my phpBB has over 5000 users so I cannot import them 1 by 1 :P)
