Hello I am interested in setting up bbpress but I already have a forum software that is using the page named Forums. Is this going to cause problems or can I set the default page to use as a different page? Say Forum instead?

[Roman Matovsky]

I use last version. And I downloaded from here https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/stable/ru/default
But problem is: files shouldn’t be here /wp-content/languages/bbpress/ , files should be here /wp-content/languages/plugins/
Change instruction please https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/bbpress-in-your-language/

We are running WordPress 4.7.3 with bbpress 2.5.12 at http://one-name.org. This mysql error started appearing last night when accessing any forum, topic or reply. I believe it relates to the ‘AND ((()))’ clause:

Didn’t work 🙁
I have /wp-content/languages/ So, I created /wp-content/languages/bbpress/
I dowloaded .PO from here https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.4.x/ru/default
Changed what I need. Saved as bbpress-ru_RU.po Compilated to .MO and put both (PO and MO) to /wp-content/languages/bbpress/ (bbpress-ru_RU.po and bbpress-ru_RU.mo)
I even clean cash. But nothing.
Help me please.

1.) I have tested and deactived all plugins, but there is no difference. BBpress just throws 404 on all child forums.

2.) i have tested with permalinks. Nothing works except for “default”, then it finds the sub forums and displays them all other permalink modes/options fails.

3.) I have checked .htaccess and cannot find anything special that could make a difference. I haven’t changed anything for sometime. It (bbpress) has worked fine until now.

4.) I’m using the latest version of wordpress, bbpress & buddypress.

Any idea what could be worng here? I would appreciate anything that would point me in the right direction!

Thanks!

Hi,
bbPress translation is centralized here: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/stable/ru/default

If you want to propose a new translation so everybody in the world that uses it in Russian gets your update (when it gets approved), then you can do that using the above link.

If you only want to change it on your local installation, you can read the codex on https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/bbpress-in-your-language/

[expectancy]

Sharing this here in case anyone else has this issue. It’s a combination of using bbPress with either the bbPress Toolkit or the code snippet to use the TinyMCE editor in place of the standard editor.

When using the TinyMCE editor, clicking “Reply” to a thread (using nested threads) would move the reply box to be under the thread, but the box itself loses the text area so you can’t type anything in.

The workaround is to remove and reenable the TinyMCE instance. In the bbpress/templates/default/js/reply.js file, add these two lines to the “try” block (line 38):

tinymce.get(‘bbp_reply_content’).remove();
tinymce.execCommand(‘mceAddEditor’, false, ‘bbp_reply_content’);

Hi There,

My client had reported a strange issue that started recently. If I navigate to the forum page, then login to WP, the WP admin bar displays at the top as normal. When I navigate back to the forum page after logging in, the admin bar does not show up on this page only until I refresh the page. At first I thought it was a caching issue with a Autoptimize cache plugin but it still occurs after I deactivate.

There is an error logging for bbPress repeatedly:
[04-Apr-2017 17:56:26 UTC] WordPress database error 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 ‘))) AND hn09m16p3_posts.post_type IN (‘topic’, ‘reply’) AND (hn09m16p3_posts.po’ at line 1 for query SELECT hn09m16p3_posts.* FROM hn09m16p3_posts FORCE INDEX (PRIMARY, post_parent) WHERE 1=1 AND (hn09m16p3_posts.ID = 8481 OR hn09m16p3_posts.post_parent = 8481) AND ((())) AND hn09m16p3_posts.post_type IN (‘topic’, ‘reply’) AND (hn09m16p3_posts.post_status = ‘publish’ OR hn09m16p3_posts.post_status = ‘closed’ OR hn09m16p3_posts.post_status = ‘reported’ OR hn09m16p3_posts.post_status = ‘acf-disabled’ OR hn09m16p3_posts.post_author = 217 AND hn09m16p3_posts.post_status = ‘private’ OR hn09m16p3_posts.post_author = 217 AND hn09m16p3_posts.post_status = ‘hidden’) ORDER BY hn09m16p3_posts.post_date ASC made by require(‘wp-blog-header.php’), require_once(‘wp-includes/template-loader.php’), apply_filters(‘template_include’), WP_Hook->apply_filters, call_user_func_array, bbp_template_include, apply_filters(‘bbp_template_include’), WP_Hook->apply_filters, call_user_func_array, bbp_template_include_theme_compat, BBP_Shortcodes->display_topic, bbp_get_template_part, bbp_locate_template, load_template, require(‘/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-topic.php’), bbp_has_replies, WP_Query->__construct, WP_Query->query, WP_Query->get_posts

I used the repair forums tools one by one and now all the forums/topic/replies content is not displaying but the count is correct for each forum/topic, when I go into any of the forums/topics it says “Oh bother! No topics found here”.

I’m currently setting up a test site to strip it down and see if I can find the cause but I wanted to post this to make sure it isn’t a general bbPress issue with the SQL statement. Any help would be appreciated.

Wordpress version: 4.7.3
bbPress version: 2.5.12

Thanks!

wp-config and .htaccess no. It’s the default one generated by wordpress.

About php.ini and php-config, I don’t have these files and I’m on a shared hosting.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
I tried several CSS hacks but did not manage. I suspect something in your theme is causing this. As a test could you switch to a default theme (like twenty sixteen) ? If it then works fine, you will have to get support from the theme author.

[guybrushpixelwood]

If somebody stumble upon the same problem here is a solution to get Wp PostRatings Plugin Stars into bbpress topics:

wp-content/plugins/bbress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php <–

Search for the line

<?php bbp_reply_admin_links(); ?>

and place this under it:

<span class="bbp-admin-links">
		<?php if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { the_ratings(); } ?>
 </span>

😀

[gpdesign93]

I am also anxious to learn how to do this. I’d settle for learning how to customize the default bbpress pages, if it’s not possible to redirect. This seems extremely fundamental, but I can’t find any answers.

[theredeclipse]

Tho still trying to figure out how to replace default classes.

Code in BBpress:

			// Link class
			$link_class = ' class="bbp-author-' . esc_attr( $r['type'] ) . '"';

			// Add links if not anonymous and existing user
			if ( empty( $anonymous ) && bbp_user_has_profile( bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id ) ) ) {

				// Assemble the links
				foreach ( $author_links as $link => $link_text ) {
					$link_class = ' class="bbp-author-' . $link . '"';
					$author_link[] = sprintf( '<a href="%1$s"%2$s%3$s>%4$s</a>', esc_url( $author_url ), $link_title, $link_class, $link_text );
				}

Hook:

function hw_get_reply_author_link($link_class) {  
  $link_class = preg_replace('/ class="bbp-author-"/','/ class="myclass" /',$link_class);  
  return $link_class;  
}  
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_author_link','hw_get_reply_author_link'); 

Cant make this work. Well output itself works as should, but it doesn’t replace bbp-author- to myclass. Can you tell me what’s wrong with it?

[cocreationcoaching]

In BBPress if no role is found, it defaults to Member. I found that much in the code.

I solved it though. It wasn’t working as long as my code was in my theme’s functions.php. I had to actually add it to a custom plugin for it to work. Not sure why this was.

[Saravanan]

One Month. Still i did not get solution. Any MyBB Intelligent is there ? Help me Please

Hello, I’m on WordPress 4.7.3 and BBPress Version 2.5.12. Site is still in development and not yet live.

I have a large number of forums (around 35k). Some of the forums work fine to post topics to, others are throwing a 502 error. The topics still post to the forum regardless of the error, but the page does not load upon clicking the “Submit” button. If I stop the page load almost immediately after posting a topic and re-navigate to the specific forum where I was posting the topic, or wait for the page load to throw the 502 error and then re-navigate, the topic always successfully posts regardless of the error.

I have spent hours with WP Engine support and after thorough investigation, disabling all plugins, switching the theme to a default theme, the server is still responding with a 502 and I’ve been told it’s an issue with BBPress. They told me to mention my database contains the following number of rows as it may be helpful:

Table rows | Table
465283 | wp_postmeta
34858 | wp_posts

Any help would be immensely appreciated!

[Stefan Sebechlebsky]

I am experiencing exactly the same problem. BP Group Moderators do have capabilities like edit, close, merge, split topics or replies in the Group Forum but they do not see the textbox to assign or edit tags. I tried to show the box by hacking the files
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php
and
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php
by removing the condition “&& ( current_user_can( ‘assign_topic_tags’ )”
but then the tags assigned in the box have not been saved, anyway.
There must be a bug in the capabilities mapping from BP group moderator to bbP forum moderator. The capabilities like ‘assign_topic_tags’, ‘edit_topic_tags’, etc. are missing there.
For BP group admins and ordinary members it works well, they can assign and edit topic tags in their group forum.
But where is the code of this mapping? I cannot find it.

[PrancingHorse]

Hello,

My website: http://www.yorkregiontutoring.com is showing the WordPress Dashboard on the top left when a participant is logged in. And when you do click on the wordpress graphic on the top left for example, it asks you to create a page..etc. How do you disable this?

Does everyone just have this turned on by default on their websites?

Furthermore, I don’t want to just disable the top bar as I want people to be able to see their user icon and click on the it and access shortcuts within the top bar if needed.

Thank you
Diana

[repyourhood619]

Hey Robin and Kajzh, did you ever get this to work? I am having the exact same problem. the custom made role is showing up under the forum role dropdown on the user profile but when the profile is saved after selecting the new role it does the default message when no role is assigned “No Role For These Forums”. Robin I did what you suggested by deactivating plugins and changing the theme but to no avail. Please see the function below.

function np_add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
 
	$bbp_roles['beta_tester'] = array(
			'name' => 'Beta Tester', 'bbpress',
            'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
	);
	return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'np_add_custom_role', 10 , 2 );

Thanks in advanced!

A common error after installation of BuddyPress from within the WordPress admin panel is to not set pretty permalinks. If you fail to do this then all of the links in the header will return 404 errors.

To fix this problem, enter the WordPress admin panel > Settings > Permalinks – set to any configuration other than the default configuration. The mod_rewrite must be enabled on your server for pretty permalinks to work.

[wpweaver]

Sorry – I misread the topic as being related only to that plugin. Now it makes more sense to me. I thought you’d made a more general question. I guess I would have expected questions about a plugin to be in the general WP plugin forum, but it makes sense to be here too.

My plugin should be posted in a week or so – depends on the approval queue for plugins.

It is intended to be sort of a turn-key solution to starting a bbPress forum. Major difference from any other plugin I’ve found is that it has a bunch of pre-defined subThemes for bbPress – look a lot better than the default, will match most themes.

[Pascal Casier]

In the current bbPress there is nothing by default that I know of.

For the moment my ‘bbP Manage Subscriptions’ plugin is only dealing with subscriptions to forums (I have been busy this weekend to improve it, new version should arrive soon), but let’s see if maybe later I can add something there.

Hi, I am trying to translate the frontend section of my forum, but I can only translate parts of it. Here’s a screenshot :

As you can see, I can translate the top sentence, but I cannot translate the form part. I even tried to manually edit the php files without success (reverted to default files after).

I am using Loco Translate for editing my translations and my wordpress language is correctly set because I can translate some parts. I also can see the sentences in the Loco Editor but event after changing them, they do not change in the frontend.

I hope I have given enough informations.

Thanks

[russ8523]

OK! After much random searching I found the location. If anyones interested it’s: wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-user-edit.php.

[Robin W]

hmmm … if you want each link to be a button, I can point you to some code, but you’ll need to figure it out.

so

so for replies, the function is in

bbpress/includes/replies/template.php

which I think you found.

function bbp_get_reply_admin_links( $args = array() ) {

		// Parse arguments against default values
		$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'id'     => 0,
			'before' => '<span class="bbp-admin-links">',
			'after'  => '</span>',
			'sep'    => ' | ',
			'links'  => array()
		), 'get_reply_admin_links' );

		$r['id'] = bbp_get_reply_id( (int) $r['id'] );

		// If post is a topic, return the topic admin links instead
		if ( bbp_is_topic( $r['id'] ) ) {
			return bbp_get_topic_admin_links( $args );
		}

		// If post is not a reply, return
		if ( !bbp_is_reply( $r['id'] ) ) {
			return;
		}

		// If topic is trashed, do not show admin links
		if ( bbp_is_topic_trash( bbp_get_reply_topic_id( $r['id'] ) ) ) {
			return;
		}

		// If no links were passed, default to the standard
		if ( empty( $r['links'] ) ) {
			$r['links'] = apply_filters( 'bbp_reply_admin_links', array(
				'edit'  => bbp_get_reply_edit_link ( $r ),
				'move'  => bbp_get_reply_move_link ( $r ),
				'split' => bbp_get_topic_split_link( $r ),
				'trash' => bbp_get_reply_trash_link( $r ),
				'spam'  => bbp_get_reply_spam_link ( $r ),
				'reply' => bbp_get_reply_to_link   ( $r )
			), $r['id'] );
		}

		// See if links need to be unset
		$reply_status = bbp_get_reply_status( $r['id'] );
		if ( in_array( $reply_status, array( bbp_get_spam_status_id(), bbp_get_trash_status_id() ) ) ) {

			// Spam link shouldn't be visible on trashed topics
			if ( bbp_get_trash_status_id() === $reply_status ) {
				unset( $r['links']['spam'] );

			// Trash link shouldn't be visible on spam topics
			} elseif ( bbp_get_spam_status_id() === $reply_status ) {
				unset( $r['links']['trash'] );
			}
		}

		// Process the admin links
		$links  = implode( $r['sep'], array_filter( $r['links'] ) );
		$retval = $r['before'] . $links . $r['after'];

		return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_reply_admin_links', $retval, $r, $args );
	}

which you can filter at the end, but how would depend on your skills.

the span part can be simply changed by putting a filter into your child theme’s function file

eg

add_filter ('bbp_before_get_reply_admin_links_parse_args', 'theredeclipse_change' ) ;

function theredeclipse_change ($args) {
	$args['before'] = '<span class="bbp-admin-links">' ;
	$args['after']   = '</span>' ;
return $args ;
}

and just change whatever you want the span part to look like, or just remove it.

if you want to style each link, then you’ll see that there is a call to each separate function

'edit'  => bbp_get_reply_edit_link ( $r ),
				'move'  => bbp_get_reply_move_link ( $r ),
				'split' => bbp_get_topic_split_link( $r ),
				'trash' => bbp_get_reply_trash_link( $r ),
				'spam'  => bbp_get_reply_spam_link ( $r ),
				'reply' => bbp_get_reply_to_link   ( $r )

so to do it in functions, you’d need to go to each one.

you’ll find these in the same file above

since the class is hard coded, you could add a final filter with a preg_replace

eg

add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_move_link' , 'theredeclipse_move', 10 , 2 ) ;

function theredeclipse_move ($retval, $r) {
$retval =  preg_replace(whatever args you need, with, $retval);
return $retval ;
}

so $retval will hold the line of code including the class.

so google preg-replace and see if you can get it working !!
