Hello Robin,

I raised the issue with Polylang today as well but no answer yet from there.
I am not using the PRO version.

The http://domain.com/forums/topic/admin-gui/edit/ doesn’t work at all for me but I didn’t try hiding URL language information for the default language.

The problem looks consistent.

Hi robin,
in my situation for the default language
http://domain.com/forums/topic/admin-gui/edit/
work with flag “Hide URL language information for default language”,

but for the others language the rewrite rule is triggered for edit, and add /it/, and 404 is raised.

Hi,
in polylang settings the url is set to change with language, bbpress work for all situation (topic post reply) but the edit and other link in the upper bar not work.

this is the default configuration for polylang.

With the flag “Hide URL language information for default language” allow to work for the default language (not use /en/).

I try to add a rewrite rule to htaccess without success.

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Hei
After activated bbpress, the default wordpress user role reduced to only reader and administrator.
Is there anyway to get the default roles back?

Best regards,
Susan

Looks like there is no problem with default theme.
Theme causing problems is Newspaper 11

[Robin W]

ok, I’d suggest you next test with those deactivated and see if it an issue with one of them, and if not test with a default theme.

[ecollart]

In the backend. No forum is assigned per default when you create a new topic.
I use the backend as admin to create (and preferably manage afterwards) a super sticky topic that is not related to a specific forum but I want to see it on top of each individual forums (this topic explains how to use the forums).

I can create the topic as super sticky and it is visible on the frontend but you cannot find it anymore in the “All Topics” section if you ever want to modify it.
If you try to modify it from the frontend, you get an Error 404 (page not found)

I can share a backend screenshot if you want

No success Robin. I used troubleshooting mode. I switched to a default theme, enabled bbpress and style pack – notification was still the same. On my theme the same.

ok, so I am wondering if something else is interfering.

Sure Robin. I’m not sure if it’s wordpress default template, but I’ll show you what I receive (as a test user, not admin) and what I set up.

Here’s what I receive:

Here’s my template:

I also noticed that “Don’t show this message” (Oh bother! No forums were found here!) doesn’t work for me. I ticked it, but the message is still there. Is there a php snippet I could add to my Woody snippet plugin? Thank you.

[Robin W]

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/feedback-no-access.php

transfer this to your pc and edit the text as desired

and save

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

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/feedback-no-access.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

untested, but of you add

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'user-login' ); ?>

to the end of that form, it should also show a login

[Chris]

HI. I have bbp Style Pack. I set up nice templates in Subscription Emails tab, but users don’t receive those mails. They receive default WordPress notifications. How to force bbPress to send those nice looking templates I’ve created?
Thank you
Chris

[Robin W]

Untested, but find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

change line 31

from

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

to

<?php if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() && (bbp_get_forum_id() != '2927') ) : ?>

and save

where 2927 is the forum you don’t want to show the form for

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

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-topic.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

If you want multiple forums, you could create and array and test against that

it’s a wordpress rather than bbpress issue.

The documentation could be clearer, but that section refers to the tinymce not the text editor

I’ve not tried it, but this might help

Paste As Plain Text By Default

@johnjamesjacoby –

as far as I understand, the issue is detailed in changeset 7190 – yes?

so it is basically to hide the ‘generate passwword’ in form-user-passwords.php if the user’s browser does not support js or it is disabled.

If so, at the moment all bbpress pages end up with a no-js class as bbpress sets ‘no-js’ as the default, which means that the quicktags do not display on the topic and reply forms as they need js but the css thinks it is no-js, and the visual editor does not work for the same reasons.

At the moment you only test for js using the script technique in form-user-passwords.php viz

<script type="text/javascript">
	document.body.className = document.body.className.replace( 'no-js', 'js' );
</script>

so I would suggest 1 of 2 approaches

1. putting this test in more generally so it runs on any bbpress page (as usefully suggested by @webcreations907) maybe by adding to the main function, or adding a filter in \includes\core\filters.php to run the script

so something like :

add_filter ('bbp_body_class' , bbp_test_js) ;
function bbp_test_js ($classes) {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
	document.body.className = document.body.className.replace( 'no-js', 'js' );
</script>
<?php
return $classes ;
}

so that others could disable it

2. changing the class to bbp-no-js should work, if you do this in the bbp_body_class function and the form-user-passwords.php and in css, then I can no reason why it would not work if that is the sole intention of this.

Hello there,
I’ve installed bbpress on my forum, my theme is Fashify and my forum theme is the default one, nothing has been changed.
I setted the page of the forum with “full width”, and my default setting for the site has a right sidebar.

How can I do to keep the full width template when I navigate through the forum ? I can’t find any setting for that.

Thanks by advance

So our site typically has minimal users, myself and a few admins. We login properly and make the edits to the site.

We have a forum set-up coming online. Our registrants to the forum will get an email when they register. They’ll register from the bbpress shortcode I included on a page.

Instead of saying “Welcome the forum”, the email they receive says New User Registration.
The URL it provides is the /wp-login, not the page with the bbpress login shortcode. It’s a default WP registration and login.

I’d liked to customize emails going to forum registrants that are specific to the forum.

Does that make sense?

Thx–

[a7xfanben]

How can I edit the background color of sticky threads in a forum? I cannot find the current/default color in my style.css file or anywhere else so far.

Thanks!

[Robin W]

ok, I cannot replicate – might be a multisite issue, might not.

all I can suggest further is the standard advice :
