Is that an extra avatar or just an image to show that the user donated?

This might be possible if you have something that tracks what users have donated. Like if the data was stored in the user meta table.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Database_Description#Table:_wp_usermeta

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_user_meta
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_user_meta

This might be considered custom development and you may need to hire a developer to create this for you.

Hi Denaize,
Any extras around bbPress are welcome. Let me know if you scripted something, or upload your plugin/theme to WordPress.org so others can benefit from it also.
Pascal.

It’s a shame. For 10x cheaper the author could 20 or 30x more orders…
To be great BBpress need only an ergonomic and simple input interface adapted to non-IT (no tag and html code visualisation, direct entry and final appearance ) as an ultra simplified tinyMCE.
+ attachement of course.

Finally I got bored , wordpress is great but does not have a simple but ergonomic forum 🙁 or not free at all !
I’ll take a little time for study how to improve the toolbar myself…but I am worried

[Tecca]

That’s one of the downsides of taking the WordPress – bbPress – BuddyPress route. Either you’re gonna shell out a lot of cash for great plugins, or you add most of the functionality yourself and take a lot of time doing so. I’m going with a mixture of both time and money. When it comes to buying one plugin — cool. Then you start buying three or six, and your yearly costs skyrocket for just one site.

I’m looking to limit the “Edited by xxxx” to the last edit at the end of every post. I remember looking through the forum on the topic, and I found it suggested to another user to use WordPress’ own the_author and the_modified_time. This should work great, however, how do I include the revision notes from the last edit? In other words the reason a user adds for editing their post.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi denaize,

I did not try any of the below, but just to give you ideas:
For the smileys you could try https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-monalisa/
For attachments there is https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/

Hope this gets you started.
Pascal.

I am confused now, do you mean that only people who have wordpress can post on my forum? The intended users are just regular internet browsers, not people that would have wordpress.

[gene-stevo]

Thanks for that idea but I’ve been through all of them, in several variants. I’m going to try to make a duplicate for my current left side bar with bbpress tools used for custom sidebars. If that works nobody will know the difference. My biggest problem is that when I build this site, at it’s permanent domain, I wanted to be able to hand it over in the most simple form possible. The fewer the plugins I have to explain the better.
I thought I had the forum issue nailed with WP Symposium until it wanted $99 before I could even add a file upload or subscribe to forum option.
This is my first time with WordPress and I love it to bits…other than right at this minute 🙂
Thanks again.

Ok, I figured it out.
Just wrote a small plugin adding the “newzik” protocol :

<?php
/**
* Plugin Name: NZK links support
* Plugin URI: http://newzik.com/
* Description: Adds support to newzik:// links
* Version: 1.0
* Author: Pierre Mardon
* Author URI: http://newzik.com/
* License: None
*/

/**
 * Extend list of allowed protocols.
 *
 * @param array $protocols List of default protocols allowed by WordPress.
 *
 * @return array $protocols Updated list including new protocols.
 */
function wporg_extend_allowed_protocols( $protocols ){
    $protocols[] = 'newzik';
    return $protocols;
}
add_filter( 'kses_allowed_protocols' , 'wporg_extend_allowed_protocols' );
?>

When you said you got this.

bbpress
Response headers:
cache control: max-age=2592000

I think you just selected something similar to this in your dev tools.

bbpress.css?ver=2.5.8-5815

This is a CSS file, and the cache information you are outputting is just the browser cache information for that CSS file.

Usually you might find this in your htaccess file for code for browser caching, and this exactly for some CSS files.

ExpiresByType text/css A2592000

In the list of names of files being requested, you can try to pick another CSS file like

responsive.css?ver=1.9.7.7

And you should see the caching age be the same thing since it is a CSS file.

Most of the time the browser caching code would be present in your htaccess file wrapped in something like this.

<IfModule mod_expires.c>

But there could also be WordPress plugins that add browser caching like some minify plugins.

You and your dev have to backtrack and find out where and what is causing the browser caching. It is tough for me to find it on my end without a bunch of guessing, but if you want me to try to take a look at it, you can contact me through email here. https://robkkdev.wordpress.com/contact/

Also that custom login script would not cause this type of issue.

Also you can delete this piece of code since you are probably not using it correctly.

wp_enqueue_script( ‘custom-login’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/css/style-login.js’ );

This is a common theme issue related to the theme styling absolute positioning the comment reply link for WordPress comments.

Use this custom css to fix the issue. Add it in your child themes style.css file or anywhere you can add custom css like in a custom css plugin.

#bbpress-forums .reply {
    position: relative;
    top: inherit;
    right: inherit;
    line-height: inherit;
    font-size: inherit;
}

Hi Guys,
I’ve been sort of getting on with bbpress installation but have hit a wall.
The page designated to host the forums isn’t showing my default WordPress left side bar.
I think I’ve unticked and re-ticked every option on every bit of setting I can find but it still wont show. I’ve even installed Content Aware Sidebars with the idea of inserting one that way but I cant get that to work either.
What the heck am I missing (I’m a WP newbie). WP: 4.3.1 Theme: Jolene
The affected page is here.
Club News & Forums
(the password to these learn-as-I-go pages is ccc but don’t tell anyone.
Cheers in advance,
Eugene.

Hi blacklavaa

If you just use bbPress, you should have normal wordpress users. So on your dashboard, you should find them under ‘Users’.

Pascal.

[Robkk]

It is a common issue where CSS for WordPress comments reply link has conflicts with actual reply posts in bbPress.

Copy this custom css in your child themes style.css file or in anywhere you can put custom css like in a custom css plugin.

#bbpress-forums .reply {
    font-size: inherit;
    padding: inherit;
    position: relative;
    right: inherit;
    top: inherit;
}

2 different plugins (unfortunately) for now:
– WP Overview (lite)
– Send System Info

Thanks,
Pascal.

[PittNZK]

I’m currently developing an iOS app along with a WordPress site with the bbPress plugin.

I would like to allow any user to easily post links with custom schemes in the forum like :

myappname://badebidobudy/fdjlkqsfj

I saw that in bbPress an admin can indeed post a link and its href is not interpreted so it remains :

href=”myappname://badebidobudy/fdjlkqsfj”

and bbPress tells me why :

> Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content.

But when an anonymous user wants to do this, the custom scheme is removed and the resulting a tag href is :

href=”//badebidobudy/fdjlkqsfj”

So my question is : how can I configure (or tweak) WordPress or bbPress to at least accept my url scheme or even recognize a raw link with a custom scheme ?

[Pascal Casier]

You ask, you get ! Here you go : https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-move-topics/

Please check the sticky topics on the support tab for upcoming things.
Try it and PLEASE let me know how it goes (if bad: support tab, if good: review).
For all suggestions or issues about the plugin, make sure to use the support tab there and NOT this global thread anymore.

Enjoy the moves,
Pascal.

[gperez-tl]

@casiepa It’s too late for that. But I’ll try to disable each nonce check manually (from the theme)

@robkk This bug is unrelated to “restore trashed topics” and I don’t know how to reproduce it. But I’d close this thread since the nonce functionality is part of WordPress and not bbpress, right? And also the existence of the nonce check is responsibility of the theme, right?

Thanks, both of you.

[Robkk]

@gperez-tl

The fix will make it into 2.6 or earlier I bet.

Haven’t tested the latest patch but I can assume that the issue could be resolved.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2734

[Robkk]

@gperez-tl

Post the code you are using for the custom howdy message in the toolbar. I do not think this would cause an issue but just double checking.

Do the same thing with the profile menu items code.

Just know that you said these were bbPress’s issue although the menu system and the WordPress toolbar are both part of WordPress. The registered menu and menu location are your theme. I do not know how bbPress could cause an issue with this.

So, (visiting any author’s profile and) clicking on some of these items will show the author’s data, while clicking in others will retrieve current user profile data or something.

Wait so clicking on anyone’s frontend forum profile could show the current users profile for some reason, or is it just the menu links as you stated.

You did not edit the user profile templates heavily? you said you are receiving issues with users profiles.

IF you haven’t already try to track down what is causing the issues you are getting. Since you have a custom theme see if the issue persists in a default theme like twenty twelve, deactivate all plugins but bbPress.

Troubleshooting

Your profile pages shouldn’t just be magically be cached by bbPress.

You may need to create me a test user account so that I can confirm of the issue you are getting, and to also test other areas the cache issue might be present.

[gperez-tl]

Sorry for the bump. But this is happening still.

Wordpress version 4.3.1
bbpress version 2.5.8

[mica123]

I really wouldn’t know how to do this in my case.
All I can say is that I copied all of my WordPress and database to another site to test it there and I have absolutely no problems there. If I don’t get anywhere with my webhost, I’ll probably have to find another webhost – but I don’t really want to go down that route.

[Robkk]

Yes as @casiepa said there is a limit of forums that can be displayed on the forum root page on yoursite.com/forums by default, and it is 50. It is because you do not really need to use more than 50 forums on your site and it is encouraged that you would need to structure your forums a little better. It is filterable to display more on the forum archive though.

@jorgemuyden

Glad you are sorted on the create forum form. While there is no edit and delete button from the frontend, if you are using the WordPress toolbar on your site, if you go to a single forum you should see an edit forum menu item in the toolbar that leads to the backend, if you edit the forum you can also trash it from there too. Hopefully that will help a little bit.

[gperez-tl]

Hi. Yes, I edit a file, add a blank line or something and save. Files in my case are:
user-profile.php
user-replies-created.php
user-subscriptions.php
etc

I don’t know if the names are the conventional names or just the ones my theme set.

Anyway there’s no real need to do this. Reloading with ctrl+F5 usually do the trick.

I don’t have a real solution yet. And I’m not sure if the problem is with bbpress or wordpress. Or with something else. But I know wordpress use to cache stuff. That’s clear when you develop a plugin and things just don’t change (unless you add rules to .haccess).

[Pascal Casier]

Hi sey88,

If it’s specifically about BuddyPress, then you better ask in another forum, but it seems plugin exists there too (e.g. https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-disable-activation-reloaded/ ).

Pascal.
