0.9 users should upgrade to (or start with) the 0.9 branch

which was the final version of 0.9

but 0.9.0.7 appears to simply be a copy of the final 0.9 branch

browse https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/0.9

zip https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3730/branches/0.9?old_path=%2F&format=zip

svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/branches/0.9/

From what I can tell, JJJ just copied the branch over to make “0.9.0.7”

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3517

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3535

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/log/tags/0.9.0.7/bb-includes?rev=3535

That’s all he did, there were no other changes, improvements or fixes.

But there really are some fixes in the final 0.9 branch over 0.9.0.6

There were 12 files changed from 0.9.0.6 to 0.9.0.7 (aka 0.9 branch)

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?old_path=%2Ftags%2F0.9.0.6&old=2338+&new_path=%2Ftags%2F0.9.0.7&new=3715

bb-includes/default-filters.php (1 diff)

bb-includes/wp-functions.php (2 diffs)

bb-includes/pluggable.php (1 diff)

bb-includes/functions.php (3 diffs)

bb-includes/registration-functions.php (1 diff)

bb-includes/template-functions.php (3 diffs)

bb-includes/compat.php (1 diff)

search.php (1 diff)

bb-plugins/akismet.php (4 diffs)

bb-admin/bb-do-counts.php (3 diffs)

bb-admin/admin.php (1 diff)

bb-admin/admin-functions.php (2 diffs)

It’s hard to be 100% positive but I am pretty sure they addressed the base64 decoding bug.

Those with 0.9.0.6 can replace just these files to upgrade to 0.9.0.7

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?format=zip&new=3715&old=2338&new_path=%2Ftags%2F0.9.0.7&old_path=%2Ftags%2F0.9.0.6

(those running versions before 0.9.0.6 will need more files from a fuller upgrade, do not use just the above files as it will break your install)

Everyone should still use my mini-plugin to protect bbpress and wordpress for yet-unidentified security issues. It’s better than nothing. You can even remove the header and just copy the one IF block to your bb-config.php and wp-config.php

If 256 characters turns out to be too short of a URL restriction, some may need to raise it as high as 1024, for example in WordPress where it stupidly uses GET now to mass delete posts, which was a dumbfounding move on their part.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Block Long/Bad Queries (for bbPress and WordPress)

*/



if (strlen($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])>1024 ||

preg_match('@(eval|base64|unescape)[^a-zA-Z0-9]@si',$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']))

{

header('HTTP/1.1 414 Request-URI Too Long');

header('Status: 414 Request-URI Too Long');

header('Connection: Close');

exit;

}

Hi,

For the sake of consistancy, I’d like to use the WP Socializer plugin to display Social Media buttons at the top of my forum Topics.

The plugin author said this:

“Please note that WP Socializer works in all pages or places where there the <?php the_content(); ?> function is called in the theme.

Simply make sure that the theme you use or the page of the custom post has the above function mentioned.

Instead, you can also use WP Socializer’s template functions also.

Use <?php echo wp_socializer(‘template-1’); ?> anywhere in the template which is used by the custom post type.”

Since I didn’t find reference to <?php the_content(); ?>,I’ve tried inserting it into the default theme and the single-topic.php file however the buttons fail to load.

I’m presuming this is because bbPress actually isn’t recognising the php code reference – would this be the case?

Any help would be appreciated.

One thing I missed in the long post:

Standalone bbPress

I appreciate the reason why you sought to create a standalone version of bbPress.

The plugin makes sense because it provides access to a large captive base of WordPress users. But on the other hand it ties bbpress down to WordPress, making it usable *only* with sites that use WordPress.

What if someone who doesn’t use WordPress wants a forum software?

Well, I have a suggestion. bbPress should ONLY be developed as a WordPress plugin (as I believe it is now).

However, a standalone package should be available at bbpress.org. This would basically be a bundle of WordPress and bbpress, where bbpress is active by default.

Additionally, by default, the forum root would be selected as the static page that appears as home. You will need some help from your colleagues at WordPress for this…at the moment only pages (and not custom post types) are allowed to be selected as home. (update: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/19958 )

To sum up, it will still be WordPress with a bbPress plugin, but would be *sold* as forum software. The distinction being target market. bbPress plugin is targeted and marketed to people who use WordPress and are LOOKING for a forum software that integrates with it. The standalone package is targeted and marketed to people who are looking for forum software.

You might think this is a zany idea, and it probably is. It just might work, though.

[ben_allison]

I start a thread. Include tags.

The next poster’s message (regardless of user role) overwrites my tags or erases them all together.

In fact, every post overwrites the previous tags.

Que? Have I setup something wrong? This happened in a fresh install with the default template too.

[SK]

I have just installed bbPress and this plugin.

I activated the plugin and in the bbPress widget, I placed bbPress search widget.

When I go to the forums page, the bbPress-specific sidebar doesn’t seem to appear – at least I don’t see the bbPress search widget. Also, the CMS/normal sidebar doesn’t seem to be removed – the sidebar seems exactly like the sidebar for the rest of the site.

Finally, I tried selecting single.php as default forum wrapper. But this doesn’t seem to make any difference at all – I still see the *normal* 3-column/2-sidebar page when I visit forums.

Please help!

P.S. Searching on bbpress.org plugin browser does not show this plugin

I’m uploading a new bbpress theme to:

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bb-templates

Now what? I go into my admin panel of the site, and go to themes, and see these errors:

1. Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.

2. Broken Themes

The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

bbPress (Twenty Ten)

The parent theme is missing. Please install the “twentyten” parent theme.

Where do I go to activate the new theme? Am I putting it in the right place?

Site is running the latest wordpress and the latest bbpress plugin.

Please help.

Thanks and god bless.

By default, the URL for a forum is:

http://www.mysite.com/forums/forum/forum-name/

I would like it to be:

http://www.mysite.com/forums/forum-name/

However, if I simply blank the forum slug in Settings > Forums, I get:

http://www.mysite.com/forums//forum-name/

The second slash gets stripped out, and I get a Not Found page.

The closest I’ve been able to find to a solution is to uncheck the “Prefix your forum area with the Forum Base slug” box, to get the opposite effect, but that has a “recommended” next to it so I’m antsy about unchecking it.

Is the behavior I want possible in bbPress?

[Ph0eniX2018]

I found a workaround for displaying a Twitter Tweet Me button inside individual topics on bbPress 2.0 and using WP 3.x.

Open up: wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bb_user_template.php

Under // Default arguments on line 451 after: ‘after’ => ‘)<include tweet me js script here>

The above will display your twitter button directly under the topic posters name/ip address (if enabled). Use line breaks as needed.

This is likely not the best solution, but given the utter arse-circus of using bbpress plugin, and a bbpress template, and since support is very limited for bbpress, this might work for you as well.

See it in action here: http://alienlikeproductions.com/forums/topic/welcome-to-the-end-of-our-age/

I’m new to bbpress and I did it quite successfully in my first WP site last week. Now, I’m trying to set up a simple site for my wife using TwentyTen and bbpress is the only plugin.

When I go to create a new Forum page and I click on the Templates dropdown, only two choices exist Default and One Column.

Thanks,

Bob

Also, users are able to edit the admin’s profile.

I upgraded to 3690 and then back down to 2.02 with no results.

I defaulted the WordPress theme to twenty_ten no results.

Installed capability manager and verified that users were able to view forum information.

[zachshallbetter]

I’m having a problem where Admin is able to see their user information and all forum data but all other accounts are directed to a blank page.

This is the “local” address users get sent to http://pcocs/forums/users/skingsford/

This is where admins are directed. http://pcocs/forums/users/admin/

They have “gform_full_access”

I’m using the latest version of wordpress(3.3.1) and bbpress (2.02). I nuked everything related to bbpress including the db entries. reinstalled, and the same issue is occurring.

Disabled all plugins, and re-activated the plugin. Still unable to access user profile as another user. Able to access profile in dashboard.

Rebuilt the permalinks.

No themes, no plugins, just default data.

Any thoughts on what would cause this to occur?

[LabSecrets]

You can always override the default twentyten bbPress (core) theme using CSS, for most elements or their attributes.

However, to override the default markup, it would most likely require you to use an action or filter in your wp theme (or child theme) functions.php, or to modify the core plugin theme files (being aware of the fact that you would then have to protect these in the event of any plugin update). See this for a list of some 110 action hooks: https://gist.github.com/1372637

You could use body.bbPress xxxx {element:attribute;} in your css to help you restrict your css mods to only bbPress pages. I believe you can also use many bbPress specific conditional tags as well. See: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-conditional-tags

im using a multisite installation of wordpress… by super admin, the network administrator was meant

today made a fresh install of wordpress 3.2.1 and bbpress 2.0.2, all default settings…

i created only a forum with one topic… the userprofile(and edit) does not work…

on non multisite wordpress everything worked as expected…..

what information should i provide to help investigation?

[ben_allison]

So I’m running bbPress 2.0 alongside Buddypress 1.5. I’m using a child theme, based on Buddypress’s default theme… but I want to tweak some bbPress pages.

Let’s say, for example, the main forum view.

Right now, it’s based off page.php in my child theme, and is taking the title of the last forum, and using that in the the_title() tag I have for the page title.

On other “pages” I this makes sense; it’s getting the title while in the loop.

For the bbPress forum page, it’s wonky.

So, I want to make a main forum-view specific template file… but I’m unsure as to the best approach when I’m running a child theme for Buddypress.

FWIW, all forum’s are being handled by bbPress and it’s default template files.

Thanks!

[bingles]

I have installed the bbpress plugin into my WordPress site (my site uses a child theme of twenty-ten). I created a couple of forums leaving the defaults for showing “forums” as my base forums slug. Navigating to http://mysite/forums was showing my list of forums as I expected. I made some changes but then reverted them and now the base page is empty. I can still get to my individual forums, but I can’t seem to get the listing to show back up on my base forums page.

Things that I changed

* temporarily disabled base slug but then re-enabled it

* temporarily switched to the twenty-eleven theme but then switched back to my twenty-ten theme

[Prometheus Fire]

I’ve got a couple of posts that received a few edits and the displayed log in the posts looks pretty bad. I’ve looked through the database, but can’t find where the edit log is kept (I intend just to delete the extras that don’t have any value)

Also, the checkbox for “Keep a log of this edit” is marked by default. Is there a way to have it unchecked by default? The default setting is part of the problem why my edit logs look so bad.

[LabSecrets]

Sounds like what you want to do is use shortcodes, after installing the default bbPress plugin (or installing BuddyPress version).

You’ll still want (need) a little styling of the default twentyten template style to help it match your current theme, but otherwise the bbPress forums can be added to a page with just the shortcodes features you wish to display:

See shortcodes here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

We’ve done a little tutorial video that shows how this might work with your theme (forward to the “hybrid” option in the video, about mid-way)

Ok thx a lot for this informations. I understand and I ‘m ok with what you say

I try a lot of thing, first I created a forum.php who overwrite the template and with that I can remove sidebar or make a specific sidebar.

I remove the sidebar for a full width page, and make 2 div with float properties to have on the left [bbp-forum-index]] and on the right bbp-topic-index

But it was not exactly what I want because when I click on a forum this positionning disapear.

So I do more simply, just a custom page like you said me before with default template of my theme (content + sidebar)

And put bbpress widget in the sidebar and for moment it’s a quite good.

I use widget logic, but !!!!! I nearly killed me !!!!!… LOL to find the good conditional . I find this good post –> https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-conditional-tags .

Maybe a bug ? or something I do wrong but !bbp_is_forum() not work. I use :

!(is_post_type_archive( ‘forum’ ) || is_singular( array( ‘forum’, ‘topic’, ‘reply’ ) ))

It will be best if “last Topic widget” have more “design” like the column ‘topic’ when I use bbp-topic-index with the poster name and the category

The same for “forum list widget”, it’s just .. a list :p with no indentation and with the “any” option, it’s difficult to understand all. Perhaps a pagetree ? or something else.

I begin to use bbpress hope it wil be best ^^. Thx

PS: excuse me for bad english , I ‘m french

[Anointed]

For sidebars you need to look into using either widget logic plugins, or simply creating your own child theme and inserting a bbPress sidebar instead of the default one. Not to hard to do, but way more involved than I care to try and answer in a post.

There are a number of classes in the code for the posts such as sticky, super-sticky, etc, but there are currently no classes or functions for determining if the user has read a topic or not.

Believe it or not, that type of functionality is very intensive. Imagine a board with 50k members and millions of posts. Trying to keep track of exactly what posts each user has seen and has not seen really fills the db up very fast.

Now this is possible of course with plugin territory so it is possible as most forums do this. I can say though, I personally at least am glad it is not in the core as I do NOT want that kind of overhead for my rather large forums. Also considering I have friends whose forums are 10x my size, I can only imagine the nightmare.

[Chantal Coolsma]

Are translations included by default in bbPress 2.1? Would be nice.

[cruthas]

I should also add that I have deactivated all my plugins and switched to the default wordpress theme, still no luck.

[veppa]

If you want different sidebar to be displayed instead of blog sidebar in your theme then you can use this plugin that replaces your blog sidebar with forum specific sidebar.

On forum sidebar you can list forums, login box or login and register links, latest topics. While on blog you would list latest posts, categories, pages etc.

Also you can select default forum wrapper using this plugin.

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-wp-tweaks/

Also you can use it to display login link for not logged in user. usually bbpress will say you need to login and not display link or form for login.

[Anointed]

I would start by deactivating all other plugins and also activate the default twentyeleven theme, then choosing one of the default url settings, click save. Then go to settings -> forums, and click save.

It sounds like maybe another plugin or a theme setting is interfering.

If it fixes the problem, then activate one plugin at a time to find the problem one..

My best guess…
