Hey there,

I have made some changes in bbpress/includes/core/capabilities.php

The changes alter the capabilities of roles.

I wish these changes to survive updates. So I would like to include these changes in the file functions.php of my child theme.

Changes are in bold:

Change 1
// Moderator
case bbp_get_moderator_role() :
$caps = array(

// Primary caps
‘spectate’ => true,
‘participate’ => true,
‘moderate’ => false,
‘throttle’ => true,
‘view_trash’ => true,

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

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

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

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

break;

Change 2

// Participant/Default
case bbp_get_participant_role() :
default :
$caps = array(

// Primary caps
‘spectate’ => true,
‘participate’ => true,

// Forum caps
‘read_private_forums’ => true,

// Topic caps
‘publish_topics’ => false,
‘edit_topics’ => false,

// Reply caps
‘publish_replies’ => true,
‘edit_replies’ => true,

// Topic tag caps
‘assign_topic_tags’ => true,
);

break;
}

return apply_filters( ‘bbp_get_caps_for_role’, $caps, $role );
}

How can I include them in the file functions.php of my chid theme? Thank you very much in advance

After installing the plugin monalisa, this broke my site. After disable all back to normal, but the default smilies disappeared, no longer they are. I thought maybe overwrote the file where the images, but I do not know which file is, could it be that?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

I want to prevent user role with participant from creating new topics. By default, registered users are given the participant role. I want the forums to be organized and if I allow everyone in they will mess the forums.

I read this: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/prevent-users-from-creating-topics/

But it’s no longer applicable to the current version.

I tried this fix:

.bbp-topic-form {
	display: none;
}

But it’s incorrect because users will not be able to edit their replies and it affects the functionality of forums.

Please help!

[Robin W]

link to your site please

and

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 twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

I’ve just installed bbPress and have come across a bit of an issue. Hopefully it’s something I’ve done wrong rather than anything else 🙂

The forum will display fine – I’ve set up a default forum, topic, etc – except for the forum root page. That appears as blank.

I’ve kept everything as default so the root is ‘forums’. Here it is… http://artiss.co.uk/sandbox/forums/

Blank page. Not even a 404. No, I don’t have any posts or pages set up with the same name. I even changed this to another name and still got the same.

However, a direct link to the forum I set up works… http://artiss.co.uk/sandbox/forums/forum/test-forum/

Anybody have an idea what the problem is?

Thanks,
David.

Thanks, I checked that page before, that is why I have bbpress.php file.
Just for the sake of interested I again tried, copied the code from given link instead of using get_template_part, however no difference.
Constructed page is then visualized as default template, streched in full extent, without any sidebar..

One more thing:
I see that the body class assigned to that constructed page is like for a simple post, has tags like
page, page-id-xx, page-template, page-template-bbress .. while the automatically created forum page has forum-archive, bbpress..
Does it make sense, should I try to change body class??

[najuste]

I just can’t figure it out with the templates noomatter how much I am googling as I am new and can’t get what exactly the problem is. I have followed so many different tutorials, but well, they didn’t lead where I want.

What I have:
a website running localy with a child theme of twentyeleven with a sidebar.
After installing bbpress, the the default forum page ‘sitename/forum’ was well visualized, but the sidebar was empty and the forum did not have full extent.
I wanted to add text before the forum itself as well as create a new sidebar and so created a new page ‘sitename/forums’ choosing ‘Sidebar Template’, with text and then shortcode [bbp-forum-index]. Also created a new sidebar an registered it. Searching for changes created bbpress.php which is simply my index.php (as I can’t find any php file named template.. just sidebar.php, which is not the one I want.). Also tried to make same php as template adding * Template Name: Forum Template to be able to chose it from dashboard.

Now I have:
*default forum page [sitename/forum]- that has a view as I want, till the moment I click on the topic that gets displayed as page per whole extent while also showing the bbpress sidebar = overlapping.
*created forum page [sitename/forums] that I indeed want to have, that has this overlaping problem, and not displaying the bbpress sidebar instead the usual one.

Checking with firebug it is clear that on default forum page, articles are presented as forum pieces, but in the created forum page they are simply presented as articles.
So I suspected I should change smth here instead of the content calling smth different.. <?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
However it just looks like nor my created template, nor page bbpress.php is understood as bbpress page.. (as my sidebar is checking that and so it does not appear).

If someone could direct where/what to read or try out I would really appreaciate,
Thanks in advance,

[gregoro]

Hi! Thanks for your reply!
Changing of theme to defauls didnt help…
URL is really indicating the new ID. But the post or topic with this id doesnt exist. Even if refresh the site – I will not see them(

About permalinks… What do you mean?
To change forum permalinks? Or permalinks of all site?
I have changed the forum root from “forum-syrodelov” to the default “forum”, but it didnt help(

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
I saw that the URL is indicating the new ID (#post-4832), but it is not redirecting it to the same URL like under the admin.
Thinking of 2 things: Try to change to a default theme, try to change the permalink structure.

Image above explains it. I could edit or remove the separator in the core template file, but it’ll change back to default in the next bbpress update. Any help is appreciated.

interesting problem

the link http://www.bruuuce.com/members/si/ resolves to http://www.bruuuce.com/theboard/topic/si-on-sabbatical/

so the sending page – eg a forum page correctly links to where it thinks the profile is. Something in between then redirects the url to the result.

I’d suggest it is probably theme or plugin related.

As a test :

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and buddypress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error. If not try bbpress on it’s own.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Hi all,

I have page titles which have a line beneath them.
However on the forums pages the line is missing. Can someone please tell me how I can go about customising this part of my site:

Kind regards

[rayjay]

Sorry I was off line during the holidays..

Glad to hear you have sorted it now..

It is usually better to have a copy of the orginal code with you if you hava customized theme for comparison and help recevied from here and most of the help you would get here would be based on the default plugin code and theme..

Strange, can you open bbpress-cs.po in a text editor and confirm that these exist in the .po file:

The original string:
• Your username must be unique, and cannot be changed later.

The “waiting” string for the “dev” (2.6-alpha) translations
• Vaše přezdívka musí být unikátní a nejde později změnit.

The “waiting” string for the “stable” (2.5.x) translations
• Vaše uživatelské jméno musí být jedinečné, a nelze ho měnit.

[iapologizepleasedeleteme]

Hello, I have spent 5 years on my site and downloaded bb press today because of all the great things they said about it on this site.

Now I can no longer access my dashboard to edit anything.

I have been deleting plugins from my file manager in cpanel but it’s not helping.

I have found some things in the forums and tried to change all my wordpress user roles and capablities to the defaults but it’s not doing anything.

I noticed that registration was disabled too so i re-enabled it in the database.

Now my site and database are a complete mess and I have no idea how to fix it.

Why would you ever release this software?

No one will answer me either.

5 years of nonstop hard work and it’s not looking good.

I just saved up for 4 years and did a 20k ad campaign too.

[Hulivili]

Any idea how to move bottom pagination links place. Its default under this message box. I want it like this site after topics and before message box.

[haans]

I am using a child themes. I read your instructions on setting up the child themes configuration. I copied the folder
Souce:wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress
Destination: /wp-content/themes/%your-theme%/bbpress/

Bbpress will normally use the default files found at
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress

However if you create a directory in your child theme at
/wp-content/themes/%your-theme%/bbpress/
(where %your-theme% is your child theme’s name)
then any files stored there will be used instead.

Thereafter, there appears two “unsubscribe” button in the forum. Before copying the “bbpress” folder to the child-theme, I only see one unsubscribe.

I think for Czech the files should be bbpress-cs.mo and bbpress-cs.po

When you export the translations from translate.wordpress.org you should also change a couple of the defaults:

• Make sure the filter Current/waiting/fuzzy + untranslated (All) is showing the waiting translation

• Select the only matching the filter and then click export to export the .po .mo (This way you’ll get the those strings that have not yet been approved)

[Dreamsync]

Awesome thanks for the help! I just followed your instructions, and it didnt quite seem to work. It definitely did something, but not quite what was expected. Here’s a screenshot of what happened after i implemented your code: http://imgur.com/Txu9cAz

After seeing the bbpress.org forums, im realizing its not totally neccessary to replace the freshness (last post) column, but to simply add a “started by: author” section directly beneath the topic title – just like on the forums here.

Is that how it should look by default? Or are the bbpress.org forums customized?

[matousch]

I run a multisite installation of WordPress 4.4 and bbPress 2.4 installed with the Twenty Twelve theme.

I exported “all current” bbpress-cs_CZ.mo and bbpress-cs_CZ.po files at https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/dev/cs/default?filters%5Bterm%5D=Your+username+must+be+unique%2C+and+cannot+be+changed+later.&filters%5Buser_login%5D=&filters%5Bstatus%5D=current_or_waiting_or_fuzzy_or_untranslated&filter=Filter&sort%5Bby%5D=priority&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc

The first thing is, that all strings in exported files are in english. I manualy changed the string “Your username must be unique, and cannot be changed later.” to “Vaše přezdívka musí být unikátní a nejde později změnit.” in the bbpress-cs_CZ.mo and inserted that file via ftp to these folders:

/matia.info/wp-content/languages/bbpress
/matia.info/wp-content/languages/plugins
/matia.info/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/languages

None of them works though. My site is at http://www.objasnujeme.cz/registrace/
There is a string “Your username must be unique, and cannot be changed later.” instead of the czech translation.

Closing as this is a duplicate. Please do not create duplicates.

Change default display name from username to firstname

@dlndolgion

Your theme author could have styled the input checkbox on only webkit browsers. I see that you are now using the default WordPress forms, which I usually recommend anyway.

[u_Oi]

Avatars and username are clickable by default. Maybe you are getting an conflict with some plugins or with the theme.
