I am now using WordPress 4.8 and a theme called Newspaper X, installed bbpress 2.5.13. As you can see in my website:

Home

http://tomorrowlan.gg/forums/

It displayed some texts and most of them are non-functional. I have tried to disable all plugins and stuff like that, still not working. It kind of worked when I tried some default theme. Is there a way to fix it? Thanks

OK. the problem was with this custom code, which stopped working it would seem..

//* Correct Gravatars 
function bp_remove_gravatar ($image, $params, $item_id, $avatar_dir, $css_id, $html_width, $html_height, $avatar_folder_url, $avatar_folder_dir) {
	$default = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/images/mystery-man.jpg';
	if( $image && strpos( $image, "gravatar.com" ) ){ 
		return '<img src="' . $default . '" alt="avatar" class="avatar" ' . $html_width . $html_height . ' />';
	} else {
		return $image;
	}
}
add_filter('bp_core_fetch_avatar', 'bp_remove_gravatar', 1, 9 );

function remove_gravatar ($avatar, $id_or_email, $size, $default, $alt) {
	$default = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/images/mystery-man.jpg';
	return "<img alt='{$alt}' src='{$default}' class='avatar avatar-{$size} photo avatar-default' height='{$size}' width='{$size}' />";
}

add_filter('get_avatar', 'remove_gravatar', 1, 5);

function bp_remove_signup_gravatar ($image) {
	$default = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/images/mystery-man.jpg';
	if( $image && strpos( $image, "gravatar.com" ) ){ 
		return '<img src="' . $default . '" alt="avatar" class="avatar" width="60" height="60" />';
	} else {
		return $image;
	}

}
add_filter('bp_get_signup_avatar', 'bp_remove_signup_gravatar', 1, 1 );

Hi,
I am running the latest bbpress 2.5 (not 2.6 yet) and today updated buddypress.

and after the buddypress update avatars do not show anymore in bbpress forums.
every user has the default blank avatar.,

they avatars still show, when exploring buddypress..

if it is any help. it is WordPress MU version.

has anyone else got the same problem? or managed to resolve it?

It could be a theme or plugin issue

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

I have several bbPress forums in my WordPress site and I want to only show forums wit content on my forum page. By default it shows all forums Any ideas on how to do this?
Please and Thanks in advance!

Wordpress version: 4.7.5

Forum index not showing ‘subscribe’ link.
Option is enabled in admin/backend for BBpress.
Any ideas how to fix this?
I have bbp style pack so I can move the subscribe link away from the breadcrumbs.
Your default position for the subscribe link touches the breadcrumb and Robin Wilson’s plugin supposedly fixes that. (provides the option to force it to the right).
When I disable his plugin, I can see the subscribe link next to the breadcrumb. But this is unacceptable as I pointed out above.
Thanks

1.

I’m wanting to move the Edit/Move/Split/Post bar down

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

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

then around line 29

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

		<?php bbp_reply_admin_links(); ?>

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

this is the bit you are wanting to move.

2.

Is there a way to have the join date underneath their photo beside the post?

yes it can be done, but would need some coding.

Same template, around line 57 you’ll find

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

That’s where you want to add the join date, either as a hook to the action above, or as additional code.

I suspect you’ll want to pick up the date from the wp_posts table user_registered field.

using bbp_get_reply_author_id() should get you the user, and

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_userdata

should give you how to use it, with say

<?php $user_info = get_userdata(bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
      $registered = $user_info->user_registered;
      echo $registered?>

probably being close to what you want, but you’ll probably need to do some date stuff to display how you want

https://www.w3schools.com/php/php_ref_date.asp but possibly a strtotime() function

Hopefully that’s enough to get you somewhere !!

[Robin W]

the template for forum is

templates/default/content-archive-forum.php

make a copy to your child theme directory under a directory called bbpress.

[Robin W]

presuming that 367 is your forum number, then that should be ok

if it is not displaying it could be a theme or plugin issue

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.

I am using WordPress 4.8 multisite and noticed a bug in bbPress 2.5.12 and 2.5.13 (possibly older versions as well) with PHP 7.1.6.

Lines 1798-1805 of includes/forum/functions.php is

// Default to public status
if (empty( $post_stati ) ) {
	$post_stati[] = bbp_get_public_status_id();

// Split the status string
} elseif ( is_string( $post_stati ) ) {
	$post_stati = explode( ',', $post_stati );
}

For me $post_stati looks to be an empty string so the if is evaluating to true and the next line is failing with this error:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported for strings in /srv/www/tilth.org/current/web/app/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/functions.php on line 1800

Changing line 1799 to:

if (is_array( $post_stati) && empty( $post_stati ) ) {

looks to fix the error.

Perhaps adding a line inside the conditional of

$post_stati = array();

is a better fix.

Hi there,

On my site people have to manually check ‘Notify me of follow up-replies via e-mail’.
I would like this checkbox to be default checked instead of people having to actively check the box themselves.
How can this be done?

(it might be just a setting 🙂 since I read someone asked the exact same thing 8 months ago, but vice versa (how to default UNcheck this)).

[locutus1]

Hi. I have 2 main forums both with sub-forums. If I go into any forum I see “create new topic” which is the default. That’s fine for the first main forum but I would like to change it for the 2nd main forum. I want all the sub-forums of the 2nd main forum to display something else instead of “Create new topic”. Is that possible? I’m guessing this might be possible with CSS. I’m dealing with many forums so do I have to specify every forum one by one or is there one command that can be applied to the 2nd main forum and it would impact every sub-forum? Thanks.

[FionaS]

Kia ora from New Zealand 🙂
Just thought I’d let you know that I am also having problems with this since upgrading to PHP 7.1. To trouble-shoot I have changed my theme to the default 2017, I have deactivated all other plugins and instead of just a blank page I now get the HTTP ERROR 500; I had also changed line 1851 (a couple of weeks ago) but that didn’t work either so I was just hoping that the bbPress upgrade to v 2.5.13 would fix this but unfortunately not. I got my host to roll back the PHP upgrade and everything started to work again.
I am not a PHP programmer so cannot give you all the details that tweichart has.
Version of WordPress is 4.8 but also had the same problem with the previous version.

[bobibrown0]

I’ve been searching for an answer, that I couldn’t find here. It was actually quite easy to find the solution by myself. But just in case someone need do to this too, this is how you do it:

-> Create a new folder named “bbpress” at the root of your wordpress theme:
/wp-content/themes/YOURTHEMENAME/bbpress/

-> Find the file named “content-single-forum.php” located here:
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-forum.php
and copy into your newly created folder:
/wp-content/themes/YOURTHEMENAME/bbpress/content-single-forum.php

Now bbpress will use this file instead, if your “YOURTHEMENAME” is in use.

-> Open the file under
/wp-content/themes/YOURTHEMENAME/bbpress/content-single-forum.php
Go to line 48, and you should find this:
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>
Comment this line this way:
<?php //bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>

And you’re done! Easy and clean!

Of course you might want to add a button to create a new topic.
You can do it, following these steps:

I’m using group types on my bbpress/buddypress site. I’ve had to get creative when it comes to breadcrumbs. There was one minor changes to the bbp_get_breadcrumb function that I had to make to make the breadcrumbs work. I copied the function into my functions.php and added a filter.

[Robin W]

interesting question

I think bbpress just uses the wordpress pretty permalinks, so might be worth trying this plugin to see if you can change the default

Edit Author Slug

I’ve only read the page above, not tried it !

Please do report back if it works (or if it doesn’t)

[Robin W]

ok, a new page in a default theme has this

<div class="entry-content">
<div id="bbpress-forums">

your page has this

<div class="entry-content">
<div style="clear: both"></div>
<div class="the_champ_sharing_container the_champ_horizontal_sharing" super-socializer-data-href="https://www.lifeleap.org/community/">
<div class="the_champ_sharing_title" style="font-weight:bold">Share:</div>
<ul class="the_champ_sharing_ul">
<li class="theChampSharingRound">
<li class="theChampSharingRound">
<li class="theChampSharingRound">
<li class="theChampSharingRound">
<li class="theChampSharingRound">
</ul>
<div style="clear:both"></div>
</div>
<div style="clear: both"></div>
<p>
<br>
</p>
<div id="bbpress-forums">

Don’t think it’s bbpress

[Robin W]

bbpress uses the worpress login, so that should all work, Just make sure you set the default role to participant in the settings>forums

and to clarify from the WSL documentation

WSL will take the user in a short journey to the selected social network to ask for his permission to access his profile. If he does, and if everything goes as expected, WSL will create a new account for the user if he doesn’t have one already, authenticate him within WordPress, then redirect him back to where he come from.

so it should work.

The user should be allocated the participant role on first login

Just yelling back at me like I am some dumbass that you don’t want something doesn’t get us any further forward.

Now if this isn’t working and you have checked my original suggestion then do please come back with a polite response and I will be delighted to help further.

It could be a theme or plugin issue

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

Hello,

I have BuddyPress and bbPress on my site.

My site has been moved to a new hosting company. Since the move when you click on Forums in the dashboard or in the front end menu you get a white screen. When you click on topics you see them all listed back end and can “view” them on the front end too.

All my widgets don’t show either.

I have deactivated all plugins and re-activated them one by one and put the site onto a default WP theme with no luck of seeing the forums (or widgets).

When I deactivate bbpress the site only shows the header on the front end.

I have changed the permalinks to the default and back again also.

One thing I should mention is that when I am logged in, I can see all the widgets, so the site looks normal on the front end. But I still cannot see the forums.

Networking in the dog industry

Any ideas would be very much appreciated -thank you. I’ll pop this onto the BuddyPress support also.

[Robin W]

ok, not quite sure what is happening

1. are you using caching software? If so purge
2. try dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this will reset the links

if both those fail, then it could be a theme or plugin issue
