An easy way to achieve the second option would be to copy paste this code at the end of the file named functions.php in your current theme folder.

Make sure to create a backup of the file functions.php first. And always do the changes on a test server, not the live one.

function rsb_limit_posting( $retval ) {

	// count topics of the current user
	$topic_count = bbp_get_user_topic_count_raw( get_current_user_id() );
	// if they are 10 or more, do not allow him to create new topic
	if ( $topic_count > 9 ) return false;
	// otherwise return the default 
	return $retval;

}
add_filter( 'bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form', 'rsb_limit_posting' );

The code above hide the “new topic form” for users who posted 10 or more topics.

Hope it helps… good luck!

Hey everyone,

I’m having a bit of trouble getting my Forum into full-width format. I’m using the Oxygen theme which by default has a left and right sidebar.

I’ve already copied my “page-template-fullwidth.php”, renamed it as “bbpress.php”, and installed bbPress WP Tweaks to make sure that bbPress is injecting itself into the “bbpress.php” template.

Given what I’ve read – this should’ve done the trick. I’m wondering if it’s something weird with Oxygen Theme’s templates. I’ve included the code of the Full Width Template i’m using here below. Does anyone see anything out of the ordinary that could be preventing me from getting full-width formatting?

<?php
/**
* Template Name: Full Width
*
* Full width page template with no sidebar.
*
* @package Oxygen
* @subpackage Template
*/

get_header(); // Loads the header.php template. ?>

<div class=”aside”>

<?php get_sidebar( ‘primary’ ); // Loads the sidebar-primary.php template. ?>

</div>

<?php do_atomic( ‘before_content’ ); // oxygen_before_content ?>

<div class=”content-wrap”>

<div id=”content”>

<?php do_atomic( ‘open_content’ ); // oxygen_open_content ?>

<div class=”hfeed”>

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<?php do_atomic( ‘before_entry’ ); // oxygen_before_entry ?>

<div id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>” class=”<?php hybrid_entry_class(); ?>”>

<?php do_atomic( ‘open_entry’ ); // oxygen_open_entry ?>

<?php echo apply_atomic_shortcode( ‘entry_title’, ‘[entry-title permalink=”0″]’ ); ?>

<div class=”entry-content”>

<?php the_content( __( ‘Continue reading <span class=”meta-nav”>→</span>’, ‘oxygen’ ) ); ?>

<?php wp_link_pages( array( ‘before’ => ‘<p class=”page-links”>’ . __( ‘Pages:’, ‘oxygen’ ), ‘after’ => ‘</p>’ ) ); ?>

</div><!– .entry-content –>

<?php echo apply_atomic_shortcode( ‘entry_meta’, ‘<div class=”entry-meta”>[entry-edit-link]</div>’ ); ?>

<?php do_atomic( ‘close_entry’ ); // oxygen_close_entry ?>

</div><!– .hentry –>

<?php do_atomic( ‘after_entry’ ); // oxygen_after_entry ?>

<?php do_atomic( ‘after_singular’ ); // oxygen_after_singular ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

</div><!– .hfeed –>

<?php do_atomic( ‘close_content’ ); // oxygen_close_content ?>

</div><!– #content –>

<?php do_atomic( ‘after_content’ ); // oxygen_after_content ?>

<?php get_footer(); // Loads the footer.php template. ?>

No problem,

It might 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, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

[Robin W]

Suspect this is a theme issue

Can you switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve for a moment to see if that fixes. If so come back and we can try and get your theme to work with bbpress

[Sudar Muthu]

With the recent bbPress update, the way notification is sent is changed. Earlier individual emails are sent to each people, but now only one email is sent with all the email address in bcc. I guess this is done to prevent email bottleneck. But this seems to have caused a issue in my setup.

I use wpmandrill to send emails through the mandrill service. With the new change, the to and from address is changed to a default “do not reply” email address that is calculated using the current domain name. The code is present in the bbpress/includes/common/functions.php


$do_not_reply = '<noreply@' . ltrim( get_home_url(), '^(http|https)://' ) . '>';


So it becomes <nobody@domain.com>

When this address is used as “to” address, the mandrill service thinks that it is an invalid email address because of the angle brackets.

I went through the code, but there is no filter to change the $do_not_reply variable.

I have wordpress 3.9.1 and BBpress 2.5.3

[aborruso]

Hi all,
I know that there are several post about it, but I’m not able to find a solution for my forum.
It’s password proteceted and I cannot send you any link.

– I have WordPress 3.9.1 and bbpress 2.5.4
– I use Twenty Eleven (I know it’s a bad theme for bbpress)
– I have copied the content of /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default folder in my theme folder
– I have edited all the php files of my /wp-content/themes/mytheme/bbpress folder and commented “get_sidebar()” function
– I have created forum.php and bbpress.php file starting from page.php template and commented “get_sidebar()” function

But I have always the sidebar (below bbpress).

If I use this code

function disable_all_widgets( $sidebars_widgets ) {       
    if ( function_exists('is_bbpress') ) {
        if (is_bbpress()) {
            $sidebars_widgets = array(false);
            remove_all_actions('bp_register_widgets');
            unregister_sidebar( 'bp_core_widgets' );
        }
    }
    return $sidebars_widgets;
}

add_filter('sidebars_widgets', 'disable_all_widgets', 1, 1);

all the widgets disappear, but I have always meta links.

I know I should change theme. Do you have some tips for this one?

Thank you,

Andrea

The latest WP and bbPress versions,yes…actually tried it again with a fresh install of WP, but same issue and with twenty fourteen and thirteen.
No bbpress login widget, just logging in with the Default WordPress admin login form to get to the dashboard. So correct on the example wp-login.php url you posted. I will use my localhost on XAMPP as an example:

http://localhost/pref/wp-login.php

If I use http://localhost/pref/wp-admin I do get logged into the dashboard. The url becomes

http://localhost/wp39/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2Fwp39%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

when hitting the wp-admin url method.

[Styled Themes]

Forgot to mention I also tried the default WP themes…same thing happens.

[Styled Themes]

Thanks for the reply… If you are referring to the admin bar plugin for bbPress, that I don’t have, just the default WP user admin bar. I just finished testing all plugins I have installed, and one by one testing the login (each time closing the browser out), but as soon as I activate bbPress, that is when this phenomenon happens…I log into the dashboard and finding myself staring at the site’s front-page. I still have to add a subpage url to the browser address bar, or use the user admin bar at the top to get to the dashboard.

So, there is something about bbPress that is doing the front page redirect…even if I make bbPress the only active plugin. This does it on my local XAMPP location, as well as my demo site on a live server.

Incidentally, I’m on the latest WP and bbPress versions.

[Stephen Edgar]

Yes, this is normal and the default for bbPress 2.5.4, when you click ‘reply’ it links to the #new-post form at the bottom of the topic.

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress and BuddyPress include the pagination at the top and bottom by default.

Your custom theme appears to not do that, most likely the template you need to edit is either content-single-topic.php or content-single-topic-lead.php and look for something similar to:

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'replies' ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop',       'replies' ); ?>

And change that to:

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'replies' ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop',       'replies' ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'replies' ); ?>

If your not comfortable doing that then contact the theme author for details.

[Robin W]

Interesting that without the private groups it didn’t work as expected, and with the private groups it also doesn’t work as expected.

Maybe be worth investigating the theme and other plugins to see if they are causing an issue.

so with private groups deactivated

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.

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

I recently installed the eMember plugin (from Tips and Tricks HQ) and have been running bbPress and the Royal Slider slideshow plugin on my site. When all three plugins are running, however, my home page slideshow stops working. I contacted Royal Slider about the issue and they got back to me saying there is a JS error that is blocking the execution of the slideshow-and the source of it was bbPress.

My site: dev.detoxtheworld.com
Wordpress version 3.8.1
Running bbPress version 2.5.3
I’ve tested the problem using a default theme and it still occurs.

Here is the script from which the conflict originates: http://dev.detoxtheworld.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/editor.js

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.3/templates/default/js/editor.js

Can anyone tell me what the problem might be and, even better, how to fix it?

Mod Edit: I removed the code and added a link to the source for improved readability.

[Stephen Edgar]

Hmmm… What you have outlined sounds like it should be working.

The one bit I am not sure about is you appear to only be describing WordPress roles and not also including bbPress’ roles in your description above.

Have you run the bbPress Repair Tool “Remap existing users to default forum roles”?(Tools->Forum)

This will set the users their bbPress role. The default role is Participant (You can change the default role via bbPress settings)

As outlined in the roles docs the bbPress role Particpant role includes the capability read_private_forums which in effect means any private forums can be read by users who are logged in, this would include your members and officers WordPress roles if you assign these WordPress role users the bbPress Participant role. If you assign your Officers WordPress role the bbPress Moderator role they will be able to read hidden forums because they have the read_hidden_forums bbPress capability.

[John James Jacoby]

Add some debug logging to bbp_set_current_user_default_role() to narrow down the cause,(likely with dumping out the call stack.)

You should be able to cowboy code something if you’re able to reproduce the issue with a test user account. If you’re able to come up with explicit instructions on how to duplicate this on an installation that only has bbPress running, I’d love to fix anything that isn’t behaving correctly.

[ubicray]

Ran all the repair tools one by one
Tried default theme, deactivating plugins … no result
Do you know how can I delete bbpress with all its settings? So i can install again and try
Now when I uninstall and install again, settings are preserved

[JosiahW]

Another thing I notices but was not suspicious of until now is that in the users list I see the normal users set to the default WP role of Participant. If I go into their profile the WP role is set to “-No role for this site-“. Nobody has complained about any issue though.

[John James Jacoby]

@josiahw That’s pretty odd. If you want to debug, check inside the bbp_set_current_user_default_role function, hooked to bbp_setup_current_user. There are several redundant checks to ensure what you’re seeing doesn’t happen, so I’m curious where it might be failing and how.

[ryan360]

Bump. I just copied that function into my functions.php file and it’s still linking to the default bbPress forum user page.

[Robin W]

suspect this is a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

This is most likely an avatar plugin:

eg
<img src="http://www.passingrass.com/wp-content/uploads/avatars/460/5ed932eb9e1a5b11af2d1b9e7029b68e-bpthumb.jpg" class="avatar user-460-avatar avatar-20 photo" width="20" height="20" alt="Profile picture of PassinGrass">

And or your themes CSS at Line #1044
http://www.passingrass.com/wp-content/themes/sweetdate/custom_buddypress/_inc/css/default.css?ver=20140430

table.forum td img.avatar {
float: none;
margin: 0 5px -8px 0;
}

A quick change of that to the following fixes it:

table.forum td img.avatar {
float: none;
margin: 0 5px -8px 0;
width: 20px;
}

You’ll want to find out if it is the plugin or theme and find a more permanent way to keep those changes such as creating a child theme.

I’m here again!
It’s great I have a place to come back!

Now, I’m looking for advice on How to show “Website” part at User Profile page.
By default, 4 sections are displayed on User Profile page.

1.user-description, 2.forum-role, 3.topic-count, 4.reply-count

In edit page, There is a section for entering users “Website”.
in spite of entering the section, it would not be display at User’s Profile page.
How can I display it at the User’s Profile page.

I found that I need to add some PHPcodes into “user-profile.php”.
But as you know, I have no idea What codes I have to put in.

would you please advice me…

WordPress: ver3.9.1
bbPress: ver2.5.3

Hi all,
I have an old blog with Twenty Eleven theme.

I have copied “/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default” folders and file in my “/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven” folder.

Then I have created forum.php file making a copy of page.php.

When I modify forum.php there is any change in my website, it seems it reads another theme file.

What’s wrong in my template structue? I have the bbpress folder copied before and these php files:
404.php
archive.php
author.php
bbpress-functions.php
category.php
comments.php
content-aside.php
content-featured.php
content-gallery.php
content-image.php
content-intro.php
content-link.php
content-page.php
content-quote.php
content-single.php
content-status.php
content.php
footer.php
forum.php
functions.php
header.php
image.php
index.php
page.php
search.php
searchform.php
showcase.php
sidebar-footer.php
sidebar-forum.php
sidebar-page.php
sidebar.php
