Hi

I want to to reset all user roles to default in User Roles Editor, but I don’t see that option anywhere.

Where is it that button?

Have you tried the ‘Remap existing users to default forum roles’ repair tool?

I have WP 3.8 installed.
Using child theme of Watson Theme

I created a page for the forum index: http://songandfilm.com/community/
This page is not the theme’s default page, it’s the full-width page. Default page is centered.
Index page looks great – no problems.

When you click a forum it now goes to the theme’s default page: http://songandfilm.com/Community/forum/helpful-tips/

Is there a way I can have all forum pages use the full-width page?

Thanks!

I’ve been using WordPress for a long time but I’m new to bbpress. I’m trying to figure how to add sidebar to my forum so that users can login or check out the latest posts from the forum. Hence I’ve decided to create a page with -forum slug so It won’t overlap default -forums slug of bbpress. I added the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] to that page and edited. Everything was working fine until I clicked on any of the forums I created. It redirected me to a page with -forums slug and breadcrumbs was on the same direction, as if shortcode was just a decoy. Unfortunately, I wasn’t very successful at altering bbpress files as I wanted. My question is about those slugs. Is there any way to override bbpress’ own page system and force it to use the page I inserted the forum code.

Thank you

Hi…Hopefully someone can help me figure this out…i am fairly new, so please bare with me. 🙂

I have researched this heavily & come across a few topics – yet there has been mixed opinions on a solution….I am trying to figure out how to create different Forum Sections to my site…a perfect example of this is: http://loreschool.com/forums/ and http://teamoverpowered.com/forums/

By default, it seems BBPress only allows you to create (1) forum index…but, how can I create another section to split up the forum into categories – such as in those examples above?

I noticed a Ticket for this feature was created 15 months ago…but unfortunately it keeps getting bumped & not included into BBPress….this is such a common & familiar feature in popular forums, I am surpised it is not already part of BBPress..

Any help & response would be greatly appreciated…Thank you!

[Hilltop]

These responses are from many years ago and those files don’t seem to exist any more. Is it still possible to change the font size of the bbPress tag cloud? I’ve been trying various functions but cannot get it to work, and I’ve tried searching through the bbPress files for bb_tag_heat_map but cannot find that anywhere.

The default font sizes are too big and the tags are hanging of the page of our forum. If someone can please help me to change the maximum font size for the tag cloud it would be most appreciated.

Thanks you!

Yes Stephen and thanks. It was that. Strangely, I had to first set it back to default permlinks and save it and then set it to ‘Month/Name’ and save it again so it re-writes it back to the htaccess file to get it to work. Originally I had permlinks set to ‘Month/Name’ but obviously BBPress doesn’t pick this up on activation it seems and thus resetting permanent links is required. Interesting. Thanks.

Hi, i need some help!

I run my mainsite with frontend registration and frontend user profiles like: xxxxxxxxx.com/user/anyusername

I also installed bbpress and ONLY ALLOW USERS TO REGISTER FROM THE MAINPAGE – mentioned above.
I show the Forum in a page wiht the shortcode… the forum url is: xxxxxxxxx.com/forum/
SO far it works great!

My setting for the forum user profile slug is like that:
xxxxxxxxxx.com/forum/mitglied/anyusername (“mitglied” is for “user” in german)

My Question 🙂
In the users FORUM PROFILE page i have on the left site under the users Profile the menu links. The first of them links to the users FORUM PROFILE like:

xxxxxxxxxx.com/forum/mitglied/anyusername

Now i need the same URL LINK to the users MAINSITE PROFILE wich should be like:

xxxxxxxxxx.com/user/anyusername

IN …..bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php it calls the url for the USERS FORUM PROFILE with this line of code:

<a class="url fn n" href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url(); ?>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( "%s's Profile", 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'display_name' ) ); ?>" rel="me"><?php _e( 'Profile', 'bbpress' ); ?></a>

How can i get the users MAINSITE PROFILE URL? (xxxxxxxxxxx.com/user/anyusername)
I cant find anything in the bbpress and wordpress docs 🙁 or im not intelligent enough to find a solution… i think to remove the slugs from the url is not possible to get a desired url structure for the link. I think there must be a other filter function for the users MAIN SITE PROFILE url…???

I think i must mention this:
I already managed to show the USERS AVATAR from the MAINSITE in the forum page with this code:

<?php $user_info = get_user_by('id', $wp_query->query_vars['author']); echo get_avatar($user_info->ID, '150'); ?>

The avatar call works great – hope it is possible to get the USERS PROFILE URL too 🙂

Thank you so much!

what theme are you using – try switching to a default one eg twentytwelve and see if the issue is theme related.

Has topics stopped working, or has never worked, or is this a new install?

[Robin W]

ok, I have 2.5.1 bbpress working with WP 3.8 on a twentyten child.

I suggest that each of you :

Disables all of your plugins. If that fixes, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the issue
If disabling plugins doesn’t work, then with them disabled, switch to a default theme – twentyten, twenty eleven or twentytwelve. If that works, then your theme has an issue
If any/none of that works, comes back and say exactly what you did
If you get a fix, let us know what was causing it to help others

[mahendar]

Hello. I have bbpress forums setup on http://class.mistblogs.com/forum. This page shows the default theme header,but when I click on a forum or forum topic,the header is not being displayed. Is there any way to show the theme header? Thank you.

Hi Stephen – many thanks for your lengthy and considered reply. You are right that a lot of the php MySQL is over my head

I believe that the issue is that between 1.5.9 and 1.6 of kunena, the layout of the database changed in more ways than renaming the tables and therefore my old-style database won’t work. My information is in the jos_fb_ format

I have tried updating Kunena to a 1.6.x version however I’m hitting other problems with that –

Uncaught Exception: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=9 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci’ at line 9 SQL=CREATE TABLE jos_kunena_version ( id int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, version varchar(20) NOT NULL, versiondate date NOT NULL, installdate date NOT NULL, build varchar(20) NOT NULL, versionname varchar(40) DEFAULT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id) ) TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=9 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci.

I believe I need to change TYPE to ENGINE and have found one set of instructions for that, but they do not work so I’m backed into a different corner.

I put up a post on the kunena forum asking for help, even if I have to pay a few bucks for that – but really I only need the old database content to be transferred into the new database in the correct format, the rest of the site is to be scrapped – is it possible that the database tweaks can be done independently from upgrading the kunena installation? or can I tweak the importer to work with the jos_fb_ version – I don’t have the skills to do that but I suspect it’s a major job and probably unfeasible.

Your importer clearly works as intended and thank you for making it available, the problem I believe is most likely to be upstream but I won’t know until I can sort that bit out. Unless there is a way to make the database transfer (I can pay a wee bit) I’m not quite sure where to go next.

Many thanks

Paul

I’m not familiar with exactly what you need but bbPress JavaScript files typically live here:

/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js for the following 5 files:
editor.js, forum.js, topic.js, reply.js & user.js

[Stephen Edgar]

The following should work, a few CSS & JavaScript changes came with bbPress 2.5 😉

add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'deregister_bbpress_styles', 15 );
function deregister_bbpress_styles() {
 wp_deregister_style( 'bbp-default' );
}

[Stephen Edgar]

This is a start…

https://gist.github.com/ntwb/8037110

add_filter ( 'bbp_before_has_search_results_parse_args', ntwb_bbpress_custom_search_results);
 
function ntwb_bbpress_custom_search_results() {
 
	$default_post_type = array( bbp_get_forum_post_type(), bbp_get_topic_post_type(), bbp_get_reply_post_type() );
 
	$args['post_type'] = $default_post_type;
	$args['orderby'] = 'date';
	$args['ignore_sticky_posts'] = 'false';
	$args['order'] = 'DESC';
 
	return $args;
}

Just need to work out how to parse the other $args :/

Hi, I want to disable the default bbpress .css file. I searched through the forums and found several solutions, but none seem to work.

I used to deregister bbp-default-bbpress with the code below, but that doesn’t work anymore after the WP 3.8 upgrade.

add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'deregister_bbpress_styles', 15 );
function deregister_bbpress_styles() {
 wp_deregister_style( 'bbp-default-bbpress' );
}

WP 3.8
bbpress 2.5.1

Thanks!

Currently the new feature (bbPress 2.5) of Subscribe to Forum returns plain text email. Perhaps this was a conscious decision to implement it in that way. I’d implore either changing the content-type default to TEXT/HTML or be given an option within the admin settings.

Typically you would only need to add the following:

add_filter('wp_mail_content_type',create_function('', 'return "text/html";'));

…before @wp_mail

[JakubMarian]

Have you created the topic using the form that’s part of the forum, or using the administration panel? If I use the administration panel, everything is saved as it should; however, when I use the submit form in the forum, characters get converted to HTML entities.

I tested it using a clean installation of the latest version of WordPress with the default theme where the only plugin installed was bbPress, with exactly the result I have described above.

or just change the link towards the WP profile edit:
bbpress 2.5.1 on line 65 in bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php

You can try the ‘Remap existing users to default forum roles’ repair tool to see if that fixes the bbPress Roles: https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/

I had a quick look at https://wordpress.org/plugins/role-scoper/ and they make no specific mention of supporting bbPress’ ‘Dynamic Roles’ and that could be where the core of the issue is.

Yes, Role Scooper is the issue and it appears there will be no longer further development or support:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/role-scoper/faq/

With the production release of Press Permit, is Role Scoper still supported?
Basic Role Scoper support (bug fixes but not necessarily plugin conflict resolution) will be provided while WP 3.6.x is the active WordPress version. Compatibility with WP 3.7 and beyond is not assured, as I do not plan any further unfunded development of the Role Scoper code base. Further development and support will be available on a consulting basis as indicated on agapetry.net, but I will encourage migration to Press Permit – a superior platform with a sustainable funding model.

The good news is the new plugin ‘Press Permit’ does support bbPress’ Dynamic Roles 🙂

Hi all,
I’m searching about this topic here but I can’t solve this.
I want to put a sidebar in all the pages generated by bbpress: forums, topics, search… etc.
This works in the main page I’ve created for forum with [bbp-forum-index] shortcode and assigning a sidebar within my theme.
But, for the auto-generated pages (mentioned above) it uses full width by default.
¿How can I change this?

Thanks!

I’m on WP 3.7.1 and bbPress 2.5.1-5217

[Stephen Edgar]

Give this plugin a try

bbPress Forum Redirect
Allows you to override the default behaviour of bbPress forums, linking them to an external site. bbPress Forum Redirect requires no real configuration… it simply adds a metabox to the forum edit screen allowing you to specify an override URL.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-forum-redirect/

[Stephen Edgar]

As it is used in many spots I would suggest you add the translation now.

Most of these translations only happened in the past two days so I would expect you won’t have to wait long for the translations to be updated.

Once you translate that string fill out this form https://he.wordpress.org/contact/

More info is also here in Hebrew https://he.wordpress.org/translate-wordpress/

[ronthai]

It might be in form-forum.php (bbpress/templates/default/bbpress)

It has these lines, have not tried it and be sure to have a backup:

<p>
						<label for="bbp_forum_type"><?php _e( 'Forum Type:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
						<?php bbp_form_forum_type_dropdown(); ?>
					</p>

					<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_form_type' ); ?>

					<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_form_status' ); ?>

					<p>
						<label for="bbp_forum_status"><?php _e( 'Status:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
						<?php bbp_form_forum_status_dropdown(); ?>
					</p>

[Stephen Edgar]

It looks like “Topic Status” has not been translated yet 🙁

Hebrew 91% Translated 943 Strings Translated 92 Strings untranslated

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/he/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=untranslated&sort%5Bby%5D=priority&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc

You could help by translating those 91 remaining strings and then fill out the form here and let them know “There are some strings for bbPress waiting to be validated”, once these are approved you can update your translations.

Note: In the very near future any updated translations will arrive via WordPress’ automatic updates 🙂
