As I checked the converter again, I found that during the test period I changed the default value to “special” in this part below.
// User password verify class (Stored in usermeta for verifying password)
$this->field_map[] = array(
‘to_type’ => ‘user’,
‘to_fieldname’ => ‘_bbp_class’,
‘default’ => ‘special’
);
Is this could cause the error?

@wfcfotovisie

I see you are using bbPress new UI, see if that plugins styles are affecting the layout by temporarily deactivating it, and see how the default theme looks in comparison.

hi again @robin-w

Ok so I have put the code below in the functions.php

function add_new_roles( $bbp_roles )
{
/* role the new role*/
$bbp_roles[‘bbp_Facepainter’] = array(
‘name’ => ‘Facepainter’,
‘capabilities’ => custom_capabilities( ‘bbp_Facepainter’ )
);

return $bbp_roles;
}

add_filter( ‘bbp_get_dynamic_roles’, ‘add_new_roles’, 1 );

function add_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role )
{
/* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
if( $role == ‘bbp_Facepainter’ )
$caps = custom_capabilities( $role );

return $caps;
}

add_filter( ‘bbp_get_caps_for_role’, ‘add_role_caps_filter’, 10, 2 );

function custom_capabilities( $role )
{
switch ( $role )
{

/* Capabilities for ‘Facepainter’ role */
case ‘bbp_Facepainter’:
return array(
// Primary caps
‘spectate’ => true,
‘participate’ => true,
‘moderate’ => false,
‘throttle’ => false,
‘view_trash’ => false,

// Forum caps
‘publish_forums’ => false,
‘edit_forums’ => false,
‘edit_others_forums’ => false,
‘delete_forums’ => false,
‘delete_others_forums’ => false,
‘read_private_forums’ => true,
‘read_hidden_forums’ => false,

// Topic caps
‘publish_topics’ => true,
‘edit_topics’ => true,
‘edit_others_topics’ => false,
‘delete_topics’ => false,
‘delete_others_topics’ => false,
‘read_private_topics’ => true,

// Reply caps
‘publish_replies’ => true,
‘edit_replies’ => true,
‘edit_others_replies’ => false,
‘delete_replies’ => false,
‘delete_others_replies’ => false,
‘read_private_replies’ => true,

// Topic tag caps
‘manage_topic_tags’ => false,
‘edit_topic_tags’ => false,
‘delete_topic_tags’ => false,
‘assign_topic_tags’ => true,
);

break;

default :
return $role;
}
}}

However, it is still not working. It shows when I go to Users,user,Forum Role and set it to facepainter but when I save it, it still doesn’t set their fourm role to face painter?!

Thanks for you help

@bj87

Do what @casiepa said and just put the bbPress template content-single-forum.php in a folder called bbpress in your child theme, and edit the file.

A guide like this would help you figure out how you can customize the bbPress default theme in a child theme.

https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/

Just make your file look similar to this gist.

@tech55541 thanks for helping out in a few topics in the support forums, but your code shows undefined messages in the user profile subscriptions section if you are subscribed to a forum.

Hey guys.

I’ve tried searching about this but not really been able to find a definitive answer, especially for my own situation.

I currently have a live site, where users NEED to use WordPress default domain.com/author/username

Currently when you go to the profile of a poster in the bbPress forum it takes you to a different user page domain.com/user/username

I need this to direct to domain.com/author/username as the default WordPress profile contains information about the user (feedback ratings, post details + more – its a classified site).

Now I’m not 100% fussed on whether the domain.com/author/username page displays post details, as the ‘forum’ I’ve having is a single forum and more like a general chat area of the site. I’m not looking to setup a fully fledged forum.

However the most important thing is having their profiles direct to their author page instead of their bbPress user page.

If there is code I can place in the author.php file (WordPress one) that will check their bbPress details regarding their posts, that would be great. I’ve tried copying the code from bbPress user-profile.php but that didn’t work.

Can any one offer any assistance? I’d deeply appreciate it.

Thanks

bbPress: Version 2.5.8
WordPress: Version 4.4.2
Website: http://www.airsofttrader.co.nz (You can see the example of author pages, however bbPress is not installed on the live site – its installed locally.)

Sup guys,
im currently working on a WordPress based Gaming-Theme and want to change a few of BBpress Templates.
Unfortunatly bbpress dont like the take the changes and always falls back to the default ones.

My Theme folder looks like this:
%mythemename%/bbpress/%template_files_here%

but everything i change here wont update…
So, im a doing something wrong with the bbpress folder there or is it just my dumbness ?

@luckyluuk

I did get a blocked message at first from a user agent blocker on gronboekoby site, now it leads to the default WordPress login.

[Robkk]

This issue is theme related, because bbPress is just inheriting the CSS styles from the themes stylesheet. Same thing with the other themes, there are just some styles that could affect some classes in the code that can make the layout look different.

In the theme compat code in bbPress, has it where you can use default WordPress conditionals like is_single() which should show up for each single forum and topic, and is_archive() for the forum archive (forum root page) and topic archive (usually at yoursite.com/topics or forum root).

So while you did create a single forum page using shortcodes as an easy to do workaround, as the code for the “indentation” is created by your themes CSS and only for single pages using ,while you created a simple page. When you enter the normal forum url in 2016 you will see the same “indentation” you see on topics.

You are on the money on what CSS to use to fix the issue, there is just some media queries that you need to add is all. There will be a slight margin to the right around 700px width when the sidebar goes under the content, but a page has that same margin in your theme and for consistency I just say leave it in.

This CSS should help your help solve your issue.

@media screen and (min-width: 61.5625em) {
.bbpress .entry-content {
  float: none;
  width: auto;
}
}

Thank you for adding a ticket. Hopefully this will be fixed.

Maybe it is a good idea to add another ticket as well: the bbPress does not follow switching color scheme in the default WP theme (Twenty Sixteen). Here are the details and a screenshot: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-does-not-support-the-default-wp-theme-when-switching-to-dark-scheme/

[Valery Kondakoff]

Just tested several default WP themes with bbPress (from 2010 to 2016). Here they are: http://vkondakoff.synology.me/photo/share/8erFChRr

2010, 2012, 2013 and 2015 are looking good. 2011 is cropped by it’s right side even without anything in WP sidebar. 2014 is just to small is size (don’t know why). 2016 is just cropped on the left side…

[Valery Kondakoff]

Pascal, thank you for help!

The theme used is the default (for the WP 4.4.2) Twenty Sixteen. This is a fresh install, no theme modification or other plugins are used. Can we think of this issue as of a bug?

[TKServer]

I had the readme text setup right but all I’ve read on the screenshot locations said to put them inside of the assets folder. I’ll update and see if I can get the screen shots fixed.

How about getting a default image then?

[Robin W]

codewise – start at

bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-archive-forum.php

That is the template that displays the forum list, and work forward from there

[twiz911]

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

I have disabled all other plugs and switched to the default unmodified twentyfifteen theme – same problems.

My server has recently been upgraded to PHP 7 and I am seeing very slow performance on the forum pages in general and memory exhausted errors (despite whacking it up from 48MB which used to be fine to 256MB which still sometimes runs out of memory / exceeds processing time on some forum pages).

I tried downgrading PHP but still have the same issue now.

Any other suggestions where in the code I can start debugging?

Thanks

[Valery Kondakoff]

Hello!

I just made a fresh WP install and added bbPres as the one and only plugin. Here is how bbPress looks with the default theme Twenty Sixteen, when the color scheme is switched to Dark: http://goo.gl/Lfw3ii

Absolutely unusable! I’m pretty sure the default WordPress theme should be supported by bbPress. Is this a bug?

[Valery Kondakoff]

To be sure there is nothing wrong with my WP+bbPress install, I just reinstalled WordPress from scratch and added bbPress as the one and only plugin (this is the default theme Twenty Sixteen).

Here is a screenshot: http://goo.gl/1Bll3A

Why bbPress ‘reserves’ this left-margin space. Can this indentation be disabled?

Thank you!

[Valery Kondakoff]

Hello!

I just placed bbPress to a page, using the shortcode ‘[bbp-single-forum id=xxx]‘. Here it is how it looks: http://goo.gl/nawXlP (this is a default Twenty Sixteen theme).

Now, if i click on a topic link, a giant left indentation is introduced: http://goo.gl/LxqQVf

Is there a way to disable this indentation? Forum is almost unusable in such a small width. I was trying something like:

.bbpress #primary {
    margin: 0 auto;
    max-width: 980px;
    width: 100%;
}

But this does not works. Are there any ideas, how to eliminate this indentation?

Thank you!

[Robin W]

suspect it is plugin related

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.

Then come back

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

There are (at least) a couple of tickets on this in the bbPress trac, no. 2722 and no. 2865.

No. 2865 has a patch marked “under consideration”. In case it helps anybody, we’ve wrapped this patch as a plugin for bbPress 2.5.8:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/fix-forum-emails/

This should help to fix problems with HTML entities in notification emails on vanilla bbPress installs. It’s intended as a workaround until the issue gets fixed in bbPress core.

The plugin won’t remove stray HTML or CSS in forum posts. Rogue markup like this can be caused by cut-and-paste operations in TinyMCE, aka the Visual Editor, if you have it enabled in bbPress. If you’re having these problems, we have another free plugin called “Forum Beginner Posts” in the repository. It enables TinyMCE for bbPress in paste-as-text mode by default.

Hi there

I am using WordPress Version 4.4.2 and BBPress v2.5.8. I am using a magazine theme called Soledad which allows a number of custom sidebars.

After setting the forum root to community (and I removed the shortcode from a page) and seeing that I did not have a sidebar, I created a new bbpress.php in a child theme to enable it.

At first the sidebar was showing as the default one on the main forum index and the individual forums and topics were showing a custom side bar that I had assigned to posts (it shows the author bio)

After I installed BB WP Tweaks, the main forum index page is showing the correct side bar after adding in the widgets into the BBPress sidebar. However, individual forums and topics are still showing the sidebar assigned to post.

Any help much appreciated. I have read the how to page on setting up specific sidebars, but not luck.

Thanks
Laura

[pazzaglia]

OK, started my own topic as I was, obviously, not clear enough for my question. I thought it would have been a simple tweak (for someone who know what they’re doing) of this code but, apparently not.

How to set single default thumbnail for all “topic” content types?

Ciao,
