May well be a plugin or theme issue

Is there any simple solution to delete default bbcodes. In which file the default bbcodes defined. Many thnaks for any hint.

[Robin W]

Just spotted you post on the wordpress forum :

‘My theme (MH Magazine) has no bbPress template by default, so I copied my full-page-width template and renamed it plugin-bbpress.php. I’ve got the forums page set to this template’

If this is how you have it currently, then it is a sidebar template from your theme that you need, not a full width page one. With a siderbar theme, then wp-tweaks will pick this up and add the forum one to the page.

would I *only* be allowed to add a tags with a class (no, I don’t know why either but just pretend…) and not able to add the default img, blockquote, etc tags?

Correct, with the example you posted you would only be able to add an a anchor HTML element with a class CSS class eg. <a class="my-css-class">description</a> note as you removed href from the allowed tags you wouldn’t be able to use <a href="http://example.com">description</a>

I had a similar question last year but never really figured it out – gave up when I decided it didn’t matter: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/using-wp_filter_kses-filter-for-bbpress-posts/

I fully appreciate this highlights how little I know these things! And thank you. 🙂 This has been a really interesting discussion.

This highlights how little I knew 12 months ago, if I don’t know I don’t answer a question unless I can provide something that IS helpful, we are all constantly learning 🙂

[Robin W]

ok,

so create a file called bbpress-functons.php as above and in to this put

<?php
//code to add tutor role 

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

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

function custom_capabilities( $role )
{
	switch ( $role )
	{
		 
		/* Capabilities for 'tutor' role */
		case 'bbp_tutor':
			return array(
				// Primary caps
				'spectate'              => true,
				'participate'           => true,
				'moderate'              => false,
				'throttle'              => false,
				'view_trash'            => false,
 
				// Forum caps
				'publish_forums'        => false,
				'edit_forums'           => false,
				'edit_others_forums'    => false,
				'delete_forums'         => false,
				'delete_others_forums'  => false,
				'read_private_forums'   => true,
				'read_hidden_forums'    => false,
 
				// Topic caps
				'publish_topics'        => true,
				'edit_topics'           => true,
				'edit_others_topics'    => false,
				'delete_topics'         => false,
				'delete_others_topics'  => false,
				'read_private_topics'   => true,
 
				// Reply caps
				'publish_replies'       => true,
				'edit_replies'          => true,
				'edit_others_replies'   => false,
				'delete_replies'        => false,
				'delete_others_replies' => false,
				'read_private_replies'  => true,
 
				// Topic tag caps
				'manage_topic_tags'     => false,
				'edit_topic_tags'       => false,
				'delete_topic_tags'     => false,
				'assign_topic_tags'     => true,
			);
			break;
 
		default :
			return $role;
	}
}

This sets up a role called ‘tutor’ – just change this name everywhere to the one you want, and then edit the capabilities.

the default capabilities for each role are :

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

you’ll probably want to make delete topics and delete replies true

[tharsheblows]

bbpress-functions.php should go in the main theme directory eg /twentythirteen/bbpress-functions.php. It doesn’t go in the /twentythirteen/bbpress/ directory. This is also true for the default bbpress template, bbpress.php.

So for bbpress custom templates, you’ll have eg :

/mytheme/bbpress-functions.php <– custom functions file, overwrites plugin file
/mytheme/bbpress.php <– custom main bbpress index file, overwrites plugin file
/mytheme/bbpress/*.php (eg /mytheme/bbpress/loop-forums.php) <– all the template files you want to overwrite from the plugin folder /bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/

[tharsheblows]

@netweb – with filters, do they only add or modify the function? I mean, can you only add or modify parameters in them, not delete? Eg if I had this:

add_filter( 'bbp_kses_allowed_tags', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags' );
 
function ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags() {
	return array(
 
		// Links
		'a'          => array(
			'class'    => true,
		)
}

would I *only* be allowed to add a tags with a class (no, I don’t know why either but just pretend…) and not able to add the default img, blockquote, etc tags? I guess I’m asking is it like a child functions.php file (which overwrites) or a child css file (which adds to / modifies)? I am hoping I’ve got my analogies right, hmm.

I had a similar question last year but never really figured it out – gave up when I decided it didn’t matter: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/using-wp_filter_kses-filter-for-bbpress-posts/

I fully appreciate this highlights how little I know these things! And thank you. 🙂 This has been a really interesting discussion.

[John James Jacoby]

It sounds like this theme added bbPress specific templates to both the parent theme, and the child theme, both of which are overriding bbPress’s default template compatibility (because bbPress will yield to those overrides, which is how you can customize bbPress without needing to hack bbPress.)

Can be a bit confusing at first, especially since there’s no real indication of what is being loaded from where.

You could try installing the WordPress Debug Bar plugin, and then install the bbPress Debug Bar extension: https://wordpress.org/plugins/debug-bar-bbpress/

This will give you some information about what bbPress template is loading from where, but it’s still only providing a small window into a somewhat hidden experience.

Hello. Thankyou for the reply. The problem with using the Custom Default Avatar plugin is that users cannot choose which avatar from that list that they want to use. They only have two options, one default or upload their own.

I want them to be able to choose from a list of avatars with a drop-down or radio button. Is there a plugin for this or a snippet of code I can put into my child theme to enable this?

Thanks

[Robin W]

maybe a theme or plugin conflict

try

Plugins

Themes

[Stephen Edgar]

You can select from various default avatars included with WordPress in the WordPress Dashboard -. Settings -> Discussion (/wp-admin/options-discussion.php)

Or look at adding one of the many avatar plugins:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=avatar and/or https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=avatar+bbpress

I don’t mind editing core files if that is what needs to be done.

This should never be done, when WordPress or bbPress has an update you will lose the changes you made.

[tharsheblows]

Yeah, it might have been a dns propagation issue, I didn’t think of that. It didn’t work, then you disabled bbpress and then it worked a couple of hours later (I did check a few times) then wasn’t working the next morning.

Do you have bbpress-functions.php in your WP theme folder? You could try editing that to give the correct path.

OR what you could do is just ignore the 404 and add them in separately. So workaround rather than fix. I’m guessing all your css and js files in your template directory are not getting included. But they’re there – I can see them.

This isn’t pretty and will stop working if you change themes or hosts, it’s like fixing trousers with duct tape, but it might work – you can and should keep trying to fix things in the meantime.

It goes into functions.php but don’t add using the admin area editor as if something goes wrong and you don’t have another way of editing files, you’re in deep trouble. I say that because I’m not really convinced it’s completely right, there’s no conditional logic for the js files so you need to be prepared to fix it if needs be (or ask, that’s fine, too!).

add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'mjj_readd_scripts');
function mjj_readd_scripts(){
	
	wp_register_style( 'ifuture-styles', '/ifuture/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css' );
	wp_register_script( 'ifuture-editor', '/ifuture/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/editor.js' );
	wp_register_script( 'ifuture-reply', '/ifuture/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/reply.js' );
	wp_register_script( 'ifuture-topic', '/ifuture/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/topic.js' );
	wp_register_script( 'ifuture-user', '/ifuture/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/user.js' );	

	wp_enqueue_script( 'ifuture-editor' );
	wp_enqueue_script( 'ifuture-reply' );
	wp_enqueue_script( 'ifuture-topic' );
	wp_enqueue_script( 'ifuture-user' );
	
	
	wp_enqueue_style( 'ifuture-styles' );
	
}

[tharsheblows]

You’re looking for a:hover – that’s the style for a link when someone is hovering over it. So I think if you add the following it will all work as you’d like and be the same colour as your other links. This changes the default link hover colour. There might be something somewhere tucked away that overwrites it in certain circumstances but this should work on the forum index page at least.

a:hover{
color: #31485a;
}

Hi I’m really keen on this layout rather than the default Forum index layout in bbPress.

I have created the loop-forums.php with the code and placed it in the bbpress folder of my child theme (I am using Buddyboss)

However having done that, my Forum index page still remains unchanged
The page just has
[bbp-forum-index]

Advice much appreciated

[Robin W]

presume you mean the topic form?

If so, then

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress

and look for the templates that deal with forms, starting with form-topic.php

Basically in the root of your theme/child-theme, create a directory called bbpress ie

wp-content/themes/your-theme-name/bbpress

and copy across any templates you wish to alter. bbPress will then use them instead.

you’ll also find some js scripts in the default folders.

[Robin W]

ok, lets work out where the problem lies.

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.

then come back

[Robin W]

Ok, so suffusion has added some specific files in your theme, which bbPress is now using NOT changed your forum entries.

So I think all you need to do is go into

to /home4/kingdox1/public_html/demigodlegion/wp-content/themes/arcade-basic and you should see a bbpress folder

ie
/home4/kingdox1/public_html/demigodlegion/wp-content/themes/arcade-basic/bbpress

copy these files to your pc as a backup, and then just delete this folder. bbPress will revert to using the default ones, and you should be working.

[chetan0412]

i am getting 404 error for this two files.

plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css
plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/editor.js

any hope for solution ?

[tharsheblows]

I thought it did – are you using the default bbpress template? There is every chance I’m confused.

[jbdizzle]

So I have been running bbpress for the past month now. Today I had some free time and decided to try and make it look more appealing. So I searched for wordpress bbpress plugins and suffusion bbpress pack come up. I installed, activated, and went to its settings. So in the settings was the following:

(RE)BUILD BBPRESS FILES
If you are starting out afresh with bbPress on Suffusion or Suffusion on bbPress, this is the first thing you should do. Since the default bbPress HTML markup is different from Suffusion’s markup, this step will help (re)create your templates. You should be using a child theme of Suffusion before you start using this theme. Otherwise if you update Suffusion from the WP themes repository you will lose all the bbPress-specific files.

Please note that all your template files will be written to /home4/kingdox1/public_html/demigodlegion/wp-content/themes/arcade-basic.

So I clicked “rebuild bbpress files” and looked at the forum to see the changes. Once I looked at the forum I noticed that all it did was expand the forum layout horizontally and removed the (right) sidebar. I need the sidebar so removed the suffusion bbpress pack plug in and now there is no forum whatsoever. If I re install the suffusion plugin, the forum reappears.

I tried doing a full restore through my hosting company to no avail. If there is a way that I could backup all of the topics and forums. Re install bbpress, then import topics and forums…. unless there is an easier way.

[Robin W]

The role shows by default, so something must have turned this off.

Can you post a link to your url?

and what plugins are you running?

[Sascha.H]

Hey guys i have a little problem. Actually i installed wordpress on my server and created a standard clean theme. Here is the Screen:

Than i created a child theme connected it with my parent theme via the style.css

And now i thought i have to put the bbpress folder into my child theme. Is this correct? The question is just which folders? Just copy all from default in my child theme or just the content of bbpress?

The same problem with buddypress i want to put it in my child theme but i dont know what. All folders copy paste? Or just the content of my bp_template or maybe bp_theme folder?

PS: I tried a bit on my local server at the plugin folder and want would change 2 things at my bbpress forum. 1) Is there a solution that i can upload images when using the editor? I think its very uncomfortable to put a link from another server in the editor. I want to handle it like facebook just upload it on my server and its in the post. 2) How can i delete the /forums in my url? i want my url like http://www.myurl./forumname but actually its http://www.myurl.de/forums/forumname.

Hope you can help me i want to start with this awesome plugin but 🙂

[Robin W]

Try

rewrite rules
This could be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.

and if that doesn’t work try

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.
