that’s not standard bbpress behaviour – breadcrumbs just navigate within the same window.

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.

Hi there, could someone help me figure out where to stop my bbpress topic and breadcrumb links from defaulting to target=”_blank”?

When I’m on my forum archive page — or anywhere else on the site — everything is fine, but once I start navigating to topic pages, all of the links start popping up in new windows: http://pafoic.org/forums/

I’m running WordPress 4.1.1 with a Customizr Pro child theme, and bbPress version 2.5.6

I feel like the solution should be somewhere in plugins > bbpress > includes > topics but I’m just not finding it. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Our phpbb3 forum was migrated to a brand new WordPress installation with bbPress installed (not BuddyPress). It was done by a consultant, so I am not sure how much of the code was custom vs a phpbb3 migration tool.

We got the private topics to show to Participants by using the plugin “Capability Manager Enhanced” and allowing the read_private_topics and read_private_replies. This now allows Participants to read the private topics, but also allows them to see Hidden forums. They cannot see the content/topics of the forums, but they can see the hidden forum titles.

The remapping to default was done with the repair tool. It had no impact, except to require me to go back and reset the handful of users that were not set to Participants.

The big question that seems unresolved in many threads is whether Participants are supposed to see Private topics/replies, or if that is a misprint in the documentation? Why would we have to use the Capability Manager Enhanced plugin to do what the docs say should happen by default.

WP 4.1.1
bbPress 2.5.6

My forums are marked as Private. My members have the forum role of Participant. They can see the private forums, but are unable to see the underlying topics. The counts are there, but when the forum is opened, they receive the message “Oh bother! No topics were found here!”.

Using the plugin “bbPress Advanced Capabilities”, I see the following.

View private forums : Allow
View private topics : Denied
View private replies : Denied

So I use the above plugin to change the Denied to Allow for a particular user. It has no effect. I have also done the repair to remap everyone to the default, which is Participant. The private topics are also not appearing in the Twenty Fourteen theme.

Why is this happening if private forums are supposed to be available to logged in members? How can I correct this for my 3,000 members? We just migrated all the users into the database, so is there some other flag we need to set for everyone?

[Robkk]

you can add the bbpress post type to the default wordpress search.

copy this into your child theme functions.php or a functionality plugin

/**
 * Include bbPress 'topic' custom post type in WordPress' search results
 */
function ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search( $topic_search ) {
	$topic_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
	return $topic_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search' );

/**
 * Include bbPress 'reply' custom post type in WordPress' search results
 */
function ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search( $reply_search ) {
	$reply_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
	return $reply_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_reply_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search' );

function ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search( $forum_search ) {
$forum_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
return $forum_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_forum_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search' );

bbPress should do this now by default like this site has it.

[Jake Hall]

Hi all,

I have slowly developed my own theme for bbPress + WordPress, and it has been a sharp learning curve trying to get my head around the code for WordPress. Anyway, I am having an issue where I can drill down into a topic, however, no posts are ever displayed. The only thing that is displayed on screen is the “Add new Reply” GUI.

I am essentially wondering, why is this happening, and how can I fix it? I have tried to replicate the same problem on the default wordpress themes and they work fine, so – what have I managed to do with my theme that has broken everything?

Any help would be appreciated,

[Droidwall]

Hey

Soooo i install BBPress in my WordPress but the Problems Comes now : I created a Pag with the Register shorcut the Site Is Normally and Accesable here xtreme-developing.com/register But the Problems Is after someone register his self a page will appear with BLOCKED thats the Problem I disbaled allllll PLugins and I enabled the Default theme but nothing :/

Thanks For you Help

Im German Soooo Sorry for mistakes

[Chad R. Schulz]

Sorry, I just noticed a typo in my post. The php file you need to alter is loop-single-reply.php and it’s going to be in your plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress folder. But it may also be in your theme’s folder if your theme has custom bbpress template files. If your theme has a bbpress folder in it themes/{your theme}/bbpress than that’s the file your need to make your adjustments to.

Make your simple addition: put <?=function_exists('thumbs_rating_getlink') ? thumbs_rating_getlink() : ''?> inbetween <?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_content' ); ?> and <?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_content' ); ?> either before the content <?php bbp_reply_content(); ?> or after it. It all depends on what you prefer.

And then put it in your theme’s child folder: themes/{child-theme}/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php.

If you aren’t using a child theme (highly recommended, BTW) you’ll will have to modify this file directly and replace it in the default folder. And, every time you update your theme and/or bbpress you may need to recreate this modification.

And for css modifications you’ll have to insert the appropriate css mods (use Google Chrome to identify the css selectors and properties/values) into a custom.css file/plugin–I either use the one in Jetpack or in a stand alone plugin. You can also add the css modifications into your child theme’s .css file.

–Refer to the plugin author’s support page on wordpress.org. There are a lot of valuable css tips and suggestions. Also, the author had proven to be very helpful in getting his plugin up and running for most people.

Oh, and my website is currently in the development stage and won’t be made public for awhile. I’m building it at my leisure, “The joy of hobby sites.”

Hopefully this clears up a few things. It’s kinda hard to describe everything in detail. I just end up muddling through until it looks/acts OK. As a suggestion make sure you keep a default/unmodded .php file handy to switch back and forth with until everything works. Wouldn’t want to have to bother reupping a new file from a theme/bbpress .zip file every time you screw something up.

Good luck, Chad

Activating the visual editor or CKEditor plugin for bbPress (editing functions.php) A “HTML” tab is created in the message topic form. And by default must be pressed manually on “VISUAL” to write the rich text editor and display all the options. It’s confusing…

My question is: How can 1) make the visual editor to default and 2) hide tabs “HTML” on the message/topic form?

BBPRESS VERSION 2.5.4
WORDPRESS 4.1.1

Thanks for all 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

Hmmm…. I’m assuming in that case then you have no other parts (or major parts at least) missing from the DB schema you posted in the original post? e.g. No topic_title table listing the topics separately.

If that is the case you’d now want to ignore those mappings I posted, rather remap them to the the topic and reply sections instead of the forums section.

This is now where we add some limiting SQL expressions to separate your topics from replies.

In the Example.php file at the end of the topics section you’ll see:

// Setup any table joins needed for the topic section
$this->field_map[] = array(
	'from_tablename'  => 'replies_table',
	'from_fieldname'  => 'the_topic_id',
	'join_tablename'  => 'topics_table',
	'join_type'       => 'INNER',
	'join_expression' => 'USING replies_table.the_topic_id = topics_table.the_topic_id',
	'from_expression' => 'WHERE forums_table.the_topic_id = 0',
	'to_type'         => 'topic'
);

We’ll modify that to the following:

// Setup any table joins needed for the topic section
$this->field_map[] = array(
	'from_tablename'  => 'forum_table',
	'from_expression' => 'WHERE forums_table.Forum_Parent = 0',
	'to_type'         => 'topic'
);

Similarly at the end of the replies section, we change that join expression to:

// Setup any table joins needed for the topic section
$this->field_map[] = array(
	'from_tablename'  => 'forum_table',
	'from_expression' => 'WHERE forums_table.Forum_Parent != 0',
	'to_type'         => 'reply'
);

Now assuming I’ve got the logic correct in understanding your Forum_Parent/Forum_Ancestor what equals 0 and what does not equal 0 then we should be good to go 🙂

So the topics join expression is limiting the queries for your ‘thread starter’ topics, then in the reply section expression we ignore those previously ignored topics already imported and are assuming the remaining entries in the table are replies to those topics. The Forum_Ancestor of each reply should then point to the “parent topic ID’ mapping.

I think that’s it, one thing you’ll notice is that we also are not actually creating any forums to import the topics into, all the topics will import without being allocated to a forum, this can be bulk updated later, actually we can set a default forum for topics and relies, I’ll get back to you on that bit of code that I can’t remember of the top of my head right this second 😉

[Robin W]

Donlt worry we all had to start at some stage !!

1.

Now, because I did that, anyone that registers registers for a WordPress account. I’m not sure if that’s correct.

yes that is how bbpress works it uses a worpress account. As long as you set Dashbiard>settings>general default to subscriber, your user won’t be able to do anything in wordpress

2. set the admins to hidden as per docs

Forum visibility:

Public – Anyone can see these forums
Private – Only logged in registered users with a forum role can see these forums
Hidden: Only Moderators/keymasters can see these forums

If you want more granular access, then use

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

3. no sorry not a ‘diary’ way- wordpress not bbpress so try their forum, but

4.

I am pretty sure I can do it via the forum, I just don’t know how to do it. I know it’s a permissions thing and I can make certain posts hidden.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

and set a forum per user, but you’ll need to do this manually as part of user set-up, so if only say one as day signing up that would be fine, but if hundreds !!

4.

‘I was just told we need to also make it so that the posters are anonymous’

No idea why, it is entirely up to you how you set you site up
– if you want no-one to comment then set comments off in settings>discussion>default article settings.
– if you want just registered – then also set ‘users must be registerd…’ in other comment settings

Come back if you need further help 🙂

[nate22]

Okay, I fixed the conflict by going to pages > trash and seeing that the “forums” page was in there so I clicked “delete permanently” and now my forums first page is back.

But how do I get rid of this .has-right-sidebar class? It shouldn’t be there, anyway. Why is it there be default?

[Robkk]

i think the 2.4 version was suppose to be bbPress.

so it should be patched up.

see if its something else causing the issue.

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.

[tummybos]

Thanks very much @robkk. The link on wp user query is a great tool to solve my problem.
Concerning the use of BuddyPress, i think the link will be a problem in the sense that the links to the profiles that will be displayed will not link to the users forum profile. I want the links to go to user’s bbPress profile page, not the default wordpress user page nor the buddypress profile.
So I have decided to go by the Wp user query way, but please how am I going to create the php code. Am i supposed to wrote it in a page? or where should I put the code and how will i create the page?
Thanks.

Showing the comment your are replying to next to the reply to: text bbPress does not do that. That sounds like some custom development go to http://jobs.wordpress.net/ and post a job.

as for reply threading , i guess not threading??

ok, undo that previous change by deleting that file, it was rubbish !

Then in your function file add

function default_reply_subscribed() {

		// Get _POST data  IE is this a first post of a topic?
		if ( bbp_is_post_request() && isset( $_POST['bbp_topic_subscription'] ) ) {
			$topic_subscribed = (bool) $_POST['bbp_topic_subscription'];

		// Get edit data  IE either the author or someone else is editing a topic or reply
		} elseif ( bbp_is_topic_edit() || bbp_is_reply_edit() ) {

			// Get current posts author
			$post_author = bbp_get_global_post_field( 'post_author', 'raw' );

			// Post author is not the current user EG a moderator is altering this. In this case we'll leave the default to blank, 
			//as much of the time mods are correcting or moderating, their not interested in the topic itself !
			if ( bbp_get_current_user_id() !== $post_author ) {
				$topic_subscribed = bbp_is_user_subscribed_to_topic( $post_author );

			// Post author is the current user  IE you're editing your own post, so default should be to see any replies
			} else {
				$topic_subscribed = true ;
				//the next line is what it used to say instead of true
				//bbp_is_user_subscribed_to_topic( bbp_get_current_user_id() );
			}

		// Get current status
		} elseif ( bbp_is_single_topic() ) {
			//the user is writing a new reply ?
			$topic_subscribed = true ;
			//the next line is what it used to say instead of true
			//bbp_is_user_subscribed_to_topic( bbp_get_current_user_id() );

		// No data
		} else {
			$topic_subscribed = true;
			//used to say false !
		}

		// Get checked output
		$checked = checked( $topic_subscribed, true, false );

		return apply_filters( 'default_reply_subscribed', $checked, $topic_subscribed );
	}
	
add_filter ('bbp_get_form_topic_subscribed', 'default_reply_subscribed') ;

function default_log_edit_false() {

		// Get _POST data
		if ( bbp_is_post_request() && isset( $_POST['bbp_log_reply_edit'] ) ) {
			$reply_revision = $_POST['bbp_log_reply_edit'];

		// No data
		} else {
			$reply_revision = 0;
		}

		return apply_filters( 'default_log_edit_false', checked( $reply_revision, true, false ) );
	}

add_filter ('bbp_get_form_reply_log_edit', 'default_log_edit_false' ) ;

Functions files and child themes – explained !

that should do both topic edit and reply subscribed.

[David13_13]

I have changed this code too:

`<input name=”bbp_log_reply_edit” id=”bbp_log_reply_edit” type=”checkbox” value=”0″ <?php bbp_form_reply_log_edit(); ?> tabindex=”<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>” />

in the form-reply.php, but the checkbox is still checked by default

[Robin W]

ok thanks I can see it now.

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/form-topic.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/form-topic.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

then edit this file to change line 183

<input name="bbp_log_topic_edit" id="bbp_log_topic_edit" type="checkbox" value="1" 

etc.

to

<input name="bbp_log_topic_edit" id="bbp_log_topic_edit" type="checkbox" value="0" 

etc.

It will then be unchecked by default

[Lisa]

I’ve made the decision to develop my new websites using WordPress. My goal is to eventually re-write my PHP code as a WordPress plugin, but, until then I need to use what’s available, and bbPress seems like a good option. I need to import/map my current tables to work with bbPRess, but not sure how?

Here is the existing schema along with one parent record, and one child record:

Forum_1962 (
Forum mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
Forum_Title varchar(200) NOT NULL DEFAULT ”,
Forum_Author varchar(100) NOT NULL DEFAULT ”,
Forum_Author_Email varchar(100) NOT NULL DEFAULT ”,
Forum_Text text NOT NULL,
Forum_Parent mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0’,
Forum_Ancestor mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0’,
Forum_Category smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0’,
Forum_Approved enum(‘0′,’1’) NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘1’,
Forum_Entered_by varchar(10) NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0’,
Forum_Date_Created datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0000-00-00 00:00:00’,
Forum_Last_Changed timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (Forum),
KEY Forum_Parent (Forum_Parent),
KEY Forum_Category (Forum_Category),
KEY Forum_Approved (Forum_Approved),
FULLTEXT KEY Forum_Title (Forum_Title),
FULLTEXT KEY Forum_Text (Forum_Text)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=1;

Parent thread
=============
(19261, ‘Can I rent an RV?’, ‘BillB’, ‘bill@web-crafter.net’, ‘I\’d like to give RVing a try, but there\’s no way I\’m going to plunk down thousands of $$ to buy an RV. Is it possible to rent an RV like you\’d a car?’, 0, 19261, 1962, ‘1’, ‘rvcn’, ‘2002-12-12 13:52:29’, ‘2002-12-12 13:53:25’);

Ancestor thread
===============
(19262, ‘Re: Can I rent an RV?’, ‘Mark’, ‘mark@ittelligent.com’, ‘No problem. Just check your yellow pages for a rental agency in your area. I know there are a few national outfits too. Cruise America and El Monte come to mind off the top of my head.’, 19261, 19261, 1962, ‘1’, ”, ‘2002-12-12 13:59:42’, ‘2002-12-12 13:59:42’);

You’ll notice that there are fields for both parent and ancestor, which allows for infinite sub-topic threads (those replies to replies under one parent). Also, I the author name and email are also stored in this table, and not tied to a separate user table (so will need to address that). Each MySQL dump is between 1MB and 3MB.

Need any more information? Please advise.

My goal is one of two options:

1. Import/Map existing table dumps in several websites to WordPress and bbPress using above forum schema as source, OR
2. Convert my existing PHP forum code to be compatible with WordPress and forget about bbPress altogether if I can’t easily map the table (I don’t know WordPress enough to even think about doing this myself, even though the code is simple and fast, and will ne advice on someone who can)

I am doing this so I can better control the mobile templates and have a more robust way of controlling my websites. I need to do this for about 6 websites, and would like the method to do this myself after the first time.

Thanks in advance,

Lisa

Hello to all

The checkbox for “Keep a log of this edit” is marked by default. Is there a way to have it unchecked by default?

Thanks a lot!

if you’ve tried a default theme, them possibly a plugin conflict

content-search.php is just the “inner” part of the search. It seems it is defaulting to page.php. However, I’m not seeing anything to differentiate a search page from any other page. It is also interesting to note that the “post type” of the search results page is just a blank value.
