@RedBull, if you were previously using the option to enable images via bbcode-lite, make sure you uncomment the first line that enables them again (by re-installing the plugin as default you’ve disabled them).

[_ck_]

Oh frack, it’s bbcode-lite.

I run through post-text so the bbpress parser never fires.

Fortunately img is disabled by default but I bet people turn it on.

Working on a fix.

[Elias Schwerdtfeger]

By default, bbPress does not allow using the img tag, it needs a plugin for this functionality. Of course, the given attributes style and any kind of JavaScript handler is highly unwanted, but it is a weakness in the plugin’s code, which has to be patched asap.

@ Chrishajer

Thanks for your advices

@ Fernando

About the localization, bbpress (1.02) its not available in Portuguese (Portugal), i wanted to translate just the “bits” that the user sees, ive tried poedit but its take time as i cant copy all strings from the “original area” to the “translated area” with one click, need to copy paste one by one, i installed glotpress and it copied all strings as i wanted with one click… all i have to do is edit the ones i want (what the user sees)

Off topic:

one question about glotpress….how can i change the admin password? I couldnt find any reference on how to do it, i wanted to make “my glotpress” available to anyone to contribute but without changing the password anyone can login as a admin and erase all the work done. Anyone know how to change the admin password on glotpress from the default one?

Thanks to everyone for your advices

[VirtualityStudio]

I think it is gravatar, although I uploaded a custom default gravatar that is local and the users avatars will be saved locally as well.

[VirtualityStudio]

i tried one of the avatar plugins, but haven’t had much success with it. is there a way to change the default avatar… either via the code or is there a plugin that actually works?

thanks much!

[minervaa]

It doesn’t give any error messages, it just present you an empty white screen.

tried with the default theme too, still it gives you an empty white screen

[kevinjohngallagher]

After activating the plugin, you can’t access the forum. Actually it is more like you will see just an empty white screen.

Great, much better info, thanks.

Now what’s the error message please?

bbPress version = 0.9.0.6

This is probably the reason, but I’m sure I have it working on a bb0.9 version. i’ll double check.

Theme is Hybrid but a little bit customised.

And does it work on the default theme?

Also, is this plugin suppose to give any option to set up on the admin side?

No.

[Avram]

I have the same problem, I just haven’t used BuddyPress. Fresh WP 3.0.1 multisite and bbPress installed from svn trunk (as suggested by friend). I’ve integrated bbPress with WP and since then I can’t go to /bb-admin/ (being redirected to the root of the forum) nor I can reply on default topic (created by installer). I’ve checked with other users and everyone can log in but noone can reply or create new topic.

I’ve checked the database and wp_roles_map in bbPress db is:

array (

‘administrator’ => ‘keymaster’,

‘editor’ => ‘moderator’,

‘author’ => ‘member’,

‘contributor’ => ‘member’,

‘subscriber’ => ‘member’,

)

In WP database (table wp_usermeta) wp_capabilities for my user:

array (

‘administrator’ => ‘1’,

)

There is also wp_2_capabilities field which contains same serialized array.

I am helping a friend get bbpress installed with his wordpress site at http://www.sealgrinderpt.com and http://www.sealgrinderpt.com/forums.

I have it installed. I have added a link on home page to get to the forums.

My wordpress integration seems to not be working. He has an admin account on wpress that is not recognized on the forums. I created an default admin account in the bbpress installation. That account is not recognized when logon to wpress. The wp_config file does not have a $table entry so wondering if that is my downfall on the integration.

Next question is how to get the header and look and feel of wpress site to carry over to the forum? I want at least the logo at top and the navigation menus.

Thanks for help on these 2 issues. I am sure I will have more as I work on this site for my friend. Thanks in advance for all of the assistance.

Looked again and found this post ->

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-default-theme-1

Why wouldn’t this theme be available?

[RAAB]

I have already done this. Matter fact I went back in and changed all the key’s in my default template and then in my bbpress default template. Then I went into my bbpress admin and changed all keys once again.

[RAAB]

Thank You ashfame. I have been reading alot on bbpress trying to get answer’s and it seems that there is not much information that has been volunteered on solving some of these minor problems. I use google in trying to find much of my information and I keep getting 2 main website’s. This one (bbpress.org) and bb showcase.org.

I was reading on one thread were it stated not to upload any themes in the bbpress template file that I had downloaded and to make my own file path (my-templates). Well when I decided after a couple of days of problems to go ahead and upload file’s in the bbpress templates location the themes started working.

I had also changed the css on the Kakumei to Kakumei-blue because I was trying to get a certain look, but them disturbed the css which then altered the template. Also I can not find a download link to either of the default template’s for some reason? If someone could help me this is the look I would like to have http://www.seanbluestone.com/forums/

I love the simple and easy flow of this forum and that is not what either one of my default template’s looked like when I received them.

Also on another note: Can anyone help me out with my forum logging me out of wordpress when I’m logging into bbpress? I have checked all of the wordpress Integration, cookies, and blog url’s and I even changed all of them in my default template and then in my bbpress default template as it was suggested on another site that had a tutorial.

Hope this is not too much and it makes since.

Thank You for the help.

Pastor Bob,

I’m sorry, i’ve gotten it wrong.

I thought you wanted notification of a first post (or a new topic) and not every reply. So i’ve caused some confusion, sorry.

It seems to me that everything is working well, just not in the right order for you.

The way it works:

1) New Post

2) A plugin Email’s you

3) Checks and makes spam.

The way you want it to work:

1) New post

2) Check and make spam

3) A plugin Email you if first time poster.

To that end, what you’re looking for is something called “add_action”. It’s the plugin API call. It looks like this:

add_action('action_name','function_to_fire',priority);

priority can be left empty (and is then classed as 9? by default) and the lower number is fired first.

The theory is, if you make sure that your “mark as spam” plugin fires before your email plugin (give them numbers 7 and , then you should be ok.

So go through each plugin, looking for the add_action line. See if there’s a time when they both fire at the same “action name”, and then add/change the priority.

Other than that, it seem slike a custom plugin would be the way forward.

[pastorbobsforum]

Hello.

I want to start by thanking the following developers: _ck_, Nightgunner5, Yu-Jie Lin, Olaf Lederer and michelwppi; for their time and effort in bringing about some very useful plugins.

I have a few comments of my own, and in some cases, very important questions as well.

Even though I have very few genuine users on my forum – four to be more precise, I have decided to (try to) offer as good of a service as I can. I have had a couple of spam posts (5.88%), which Akismet handled impeccably so far.

Also, in the last few days I have had about 20-25 new users that only registered, and considering some of their email addresses, have no other intention but to spam. In this case, another useful plugin came to my rescue, Enhanced Registration, which appears to be doing the perfect job. In conjunction with this plugin, I am using New User Notification Email, so I am always notified whenever a new user registers and if in X hours he/she doesn’t login, then their username is removed and my database kept clean. A very good combination in my opinion.

Further on, a common plugin for moderation that I am also using is bbPress Moderation Suite, and I am sure that it would prove its worth when people will be more interested in what I have to say on my forum. Anyway, I think it’s missing a very useful feature, provided (luckily enough) by Moderate new members’ first posts. Now, I have no doubt that this last plugin is working fine with some people, but not with me. What I wanted was to be notified once at an email address of my own choice (other than admin_email), whenever a new member made his first post (or after two). After that, he/she would post unhindered.

So, I (think that I) have identified the section in the plugin that needs attention, where the post count is made:

if(!is_moderator($bb_current_user->ID)) {

$sql = "

SELECT COUNT(*)

FROM $bbdb->posts

WHERE poster_id = $bb_current_user->ID AND post_status = 0

";

$userpostcount = intval($bbdb->get_var($sql));

}

And where they are marked for moderation (as spam):

if($userpostcount <= POST_NUMBER_MODERATION) {

$sql2 = "

UPDATE $bbdb->posts

SET post_status = 2

WHERE poster_id = $bb_current_user->ID

";

$markedasspam = $bbdb->get_results($sql2);

}

Now, I wouldn’t know what or where to edit in order to have it do what I want, and that is why I would appreciate it if someone who does know it would assist me. No matter how many times my dummy user called “testing” makes a post, I always get a notification, at the default email address.

I only want to be notified of the first post because I am using xili New Post Notification (xnpn) for the rest of them, at a different email address. What I like about this plugin is that it gives me the possibility to assign an email address of my own choice. It’s true that I would get an email twice when an user would post for the first time (2 plugins), but I can live with that, since they are at different email addresses (the default and my choice).

Thank you,

Bob

[kai920]

I am using the default theme Kakumei (sp?). I don’t see any other errors of note in my MAMP log, and the Bluehost error log I don’t see anything useful either…

You know what, I disabled nicer permalinks (on localhost) and it seems to work now, so this plugin may be the culprit.

Could it be a conflict because my bb-press is installed in /forum?

Here is what my .htaccess looks like when Nicer Permalinks is enabled:

# BEGIN bbPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

There was things I could have done much better

for sure man. Mass email = 99.998% flagged as spam.

The only way to avoid been flagged as spam is to send the notifications into batches that by default are no more than 50 addresses per email like what happens in the “Mass Email” functionality of phpBB. (addendum: a lot of hosts allow you to only send X email per hour.)

I have built a lot of newsletter-like server-side software that sends the newsletter out to X of them every Y minutes using a cron job, with X and Y adjusted from host to host.

Right now there isn’t a plugin that provide this functionality but it can be easily achieved as ashfame suggested but you need some PHP+bbPress knowledge to code what you want.

[zaerl]

With the default installation: no. But it can be “easily” achieved through a plugin.

[kevinjohngallagher]

It’s really unlikely a single user could have done something.

Excuse the obvious nature of the questions, and i aprecaite that you’ll have answered them in teh text above, but this isn’t a normal everyday bug, so we’re starting from scratch:

1) What version of WordPress?

2) What version of bbPress?

3) Are they integrated (share login cookies)?

4) Are they “deep integrated” (can call functions in the other program)?

5) Do you have the latest version of akismet on both WP and bbP?

6) Can you log into WordPress?

7) Can your other users log into WordPress?

Can people register with WordPress?

9) Can people register with bbPress?

10) Can people log into bbPress?

11) Have to tried disabling all plugins and trying again?

12) If so, have to tried switching to the default theme?

13) Are you using a premium (paid for) theme?

14) Are you using buddyPress?

15) What has changed since Friday?

16) What WordPress plugins are you using?

17) Are you using WP MultiSite?

18) Did you know that “registered users only” plugin has been marked by others as not working for WP3.0.1 on the plugin repository?

I know it’s a load of info, sorry, but it will help.

Very few, if any, bbPress plugins change the “role” for bbPress users, simply due to it’s rather convoluted nature.

Hopefully, we’ll get this fixed

[zaerl]

Just change name/surname from the your profile page. It’s not a good idea to change the default “admin” login name.

[infusion5]

I’m not sure what removed that file, but I reuploaded the default kakumei theme (green and blue versions), and it worked a treat.

Thanks so much!

[Joe Gibson]

Z – This is actually getting interesting. Check this out:

1. I download a fresh bbPress, upload it to the site (after renaming my original folder), and the sticky topics are still at the bottom. I’ve deactivated every plugin and am using the default theme.

2. I dig up a list of bbPress forums, check out about six of them, and — sure enough — their sticky posts are at the top.

3. I make a third sticky post on my site and it’s at the top, as a new post should be. I make a regular post and it’s above the new sticky post. Ditto another regular post. So, while it won’t roll them off the back end, it’s still preferring ‘date’ to everything else.

Every day a new thrill, eh?

Joe

[EyeSeeSound]

Hi Chris,

thanks for that. Ok, i’m using the default template, I just changed it. I looked at a pre-edited version of the style sheet and the .alt div only has one element which is background-color which i haven’t changed.

Not to say that you aren’t correct, but not sure what to do about it if you are.

Any further ideas? I’m thinking the .alt only changes teh colour to white, rather than cream, so maybe another CSS element needs to be corrected?

Cheers

[chrishajer]

The .alt replies (the class is generated and added automatically by bbPress) are being formatted improperly. Try with the default theme and see if they look correct. If they do, figure out what you did wrong when modifying the theme. It looks to be something in the CSS.

[chrishajer]

Hmm, not really clear what the resolution was here but the error is the same:

Who can shed some light here?

It’s almost like one of the template files is missing from the template folder or has the wrong permissions or something. post.php is missing?

Where did the file go if it WAS working?

This should give some output (or at least a blank screen), not a 404:

http://infusion5.com/forum/bb-templates/kakumei/post.php

So, I think there is something wrong with your template. Try uploading another copy of the default kakumei theme (and kakumei-blue to be safe.) You could be missing other files as well, so might want to check for others or just re-upload. Looks like everything is already installed in the database.
