Hello,

i want to import my WBB4 board to bbPress an with a custom importer.
The “basic” importer is from inspirationally and i wanted to translate it to WBB4
Now i have a error on line 311 and 312…
(but i think there will be more 😀 )

I really hope that someone understands my problem and could help.

the text widget in WordPress doesnt allow shortcodes by default.

you can add this PHP code snippet to your child themes functions.php or a functionality plugin to allow it do so though.

add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

[Robkk]

sorry for the late reply.

the plugin might still work , as for only selected forums can have this functionality you can hire a developer to fork the plugin to be custom to your bbPress installation.

this CSS transforms every letter in a capital letter.
Actually thats a strange thing, I don’t have the CSS class “a.bbp-author-name”.
I made some small changes in the loop-single-reply.php, but even when I am not loading the modified .php file, the “a.bbp-author-name” class does not appear.

Here is the link to the forum: http://community.riseinnature.com/forums/topic/testtopic-3/

In this example, the “J” of julian and the “L” of tarnvogl are actually written in capital letters.

Maybe it is a wordpress issue, because when I add a user manually in the backend, only lowercase letters are allowed. But if you try to register on the front end, it will accept names with capital/uppercase letters. Feel free to create an account with capital letters and try it for yourself.

Thank you for helping me with this 🙂

bbpress just uses wordpress login, so all wordpress pliugins work, so just google away

eg

3. try https://wordpress.org/plugins/peters-login-redirect/

[Robkk]

@blazemiskulin

it also does have an option to change the shortcode to this [ref][/ref]

but it still wont work , so you probably have to hire a developer to make it work on bbPress.

Hi guys,

I recently released a plugin for bbPress+WordPress, which adds a brand new shortcode that displays various statistics for your forum, and also includes the bbPress Statistics as an on/off toggle.

For those trying to replicate a similar look and feel to say, phpBB or vBulletin, this will help!

In future versions, I plan on implementing an actual widget – however, due to the way I have written the plugin I get the feeling it would require a full rewrite to achieve that – so it may be a while off yet.

Anyway, if you’re interested, check it out here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online/

It takes more time ..it like when you are indexing a website the ide is to not push it. For instance Google doesnt show every change exactly when it happens(and I am not sure if it’s possible) and when you are in webmaster tools for instance. You wate for a whileeee after you submit a sitemap(again as example so that is why it should be like this.) Even the new seo specialist and https://dmbooster.wordpress.com have confirmed that. And it might become faster but it will take a while
Hope I was of some help to someone.
Yohoo.

I’m pretty happy with what I’ve managed to do with the bbpress installation on my site, rockstarwire.net/community

I have even released a plugin of my own, bbPress Advanced Statistics, which essentially adds a shortcode that displays a phpbb / vBulletin-esque “who’s online & statistics” section, you can see an example on the bottom of my site or you can check out the screenshots.

I’m optimistic about the future of bbPress, I just wish my community actually used the forum after all the work I’ve put into it!

Hello,

I have bbpress 2.5.7 on WordPress 4.2.2. (http://apofasismenoi.gr/forums/)

I have 10 forums. On 9 of them i want the members to post topics or replies freely.

On one of the forums i want when a member creates a topic or posts a reply not to be public. I want it to be on pending and only keymaster will be able to change the status to public.

I have seen the plugin bbPress Moderation though i am not sure it can cover my needs. But the issue is that it has more than 1 year to update and its compatable till 3.6.1

Any help is welcome,
atsouf

thanks for the typo, I’ll fix that on next release.

both bbpress and wordpress add the ‘Private’ heading, hence why it appears twice. My style plugin removes both, which is not what you want, but what it does !

I’ll take a further look if I get some time

I am just a humble bbpress user, I’m not an author of bbpress, so

It would be nice to lose that message when you are next in that code.

ain’t gonna happen !

[Robin W]

You can remove ‘private’ by adding the following to your functions file

add_filter('protected_title_format', 'ntwb_remove_protected_title');
function ntwb_remove_protected_title($title) {
	return '%s';
}
 
add_filter('private_title_format', 'ntwb_remove_private_title');
function ntwb_remove_private_title($title) {
	return '%s';
}

or if you are not into coding, use my plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

which has the ability to remove it.

If the forum is empty, a blue box correctly says This forum is empty but then a yellow box says Oh bother! No topics were found here!

This will obviously only show until one topic is created, so is very temporary. I could work out some code to remove it, but maybe just create a topic and it will disappear !

Robin… before I got your suggestion regarding rewrite rules, I had begun to suspect corruption of permissions in my forum database entires. I created a new test forum and it worked OK.

So, for each empty forum I deleted it and created a new one. For each forum with topics, I created a new one, i.e. Forum A new, reassigned the topics from Forum A to Forum A new, deleted Forum A and then renamed Formum A new to Forum A.

This has cleared my problem and I can now view the forum topics as Testuser2.

How the problem arose, I do not know. There have been WordPress or bbPress updates recently and possibly something did not upgrade properly.

There remain two issues:
The keyword PRIVATE: is shown twice in the display of the forum contents.
If the forum is empty, a blue box correctly says This forum is empty but then a yellow box says Oh bother! No topics were found here!

In the latter case, I suspect a coding error whereby the empty forum is spotted but the code still tries to display the topics.

Do I still need to reset my permalink as you suggest?

Meanwhile I shall start re-instating my plugins etc.

thanks for your support.

ok, so 3 stages

1. create the style.css entries – say you have a forum called ‘fred’ you might want to create a ‘fred’ style and have content for this eg

.fred #fixed-background { background: url(‘http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/fredbackground.jpg’); }

2. look up the forum’s ID

go to dashboard>forums>all forums and hover over the ‘edit’

at the bottom of the screen you’ll see

http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=2921&action=edit

in this case 2921 is the forum ID

3. add the style to the body class for that forum

Add this into your functions file

function rew_add_class ($classes, $bbp_classes, $wp_classes, $custom_classes ) {
	//the above line pulls in the pre-existing values so we don't lose them - ie run this function using this existing $variables if they exist
	//then we check is this is a forum using a bbpress function
	if ( bbp_is_single_forum() ) {
	$bbp_forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id();
	if ($bbp_forum_id == 2922) $custom_classes[] = 'fred' ;
	if ($bbp_forum_id == 2923) $custom_classes[] = 'george' ;
}

	//then we check is this is a topic using a bbpress function
	if ( bbp_is_single_topic() ) {
	//and if so look up the forum id of that topic
	$bbp_forum_id = bbp_get_topic_forum_id();
	//now you will need to add lines for each forum you have and say which class class you want to use, these are just example lines.  Add one for each forum
	//the number is the 'page_id' (actually it's the post id !)
	if ($bbp_forum_id == 2922) $custom_classes[] = 'fred' ;
	if ($bbp_forum_id == 2923) $custom_classes[] = 'george' ;
		}
	//then this gets merges into the existing wordpress and bbpress classes
	$classes = array_merge (  (array) $classes, (array) $custom_classes ) ;
	Return apply_filters( 'rew_body_class', $classes, $bbp_classes, $wp_classes, $custom_classes ) ;
}

add_filter ('bbp_body_class' , 'rew_add_class') ;

This could be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings>Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.

[Robkk]

so basically you just want to disable comments on your site??

if thats it this plugin might help.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-comments/

[Robkk]

use this plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions/

[Robkk]

install this plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/

try this CSS

#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-breadcrumb p {
font-size: 15px;
}

[Robkk]

if you feel like just using bbPress there are these two plugins.

bbPress has a group plugin

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

and a friends plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/friends-for-bbpress/

[Robkk]

i think maybe this plugin will help.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-members-only/

maybe also this if you want to try groups

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

[Robkk]

@jadamkraft

you can email me the link to your site.

if you are just using the shortcode , bbPress doesnt allow shortcodes for security reasons like users pasting the [bbp-login] shortcode

since i assume this is just for admins you can use this plugin to use the shortcode.

My bbpress is giving this error after activation in debug mode: Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\functions.php on line 3560

Also I noticed that after activation, some ajax features on my site will no more work, for instance, if i visit the media page on the dashboard, it will load forever without giving any result.

I need urgent help please.

Thanks.

Hi,

Is used the code snippet from the codex and it worked fine.

How could I modify the code to choose a specific menu?

E.g. primary oder secondary. Actually “Edit Profil” is shown in all my menues and I just want to have it on my Primary Menu.

// Filter wp_nav_menu() to add profile link
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_nav_menu_profile_link' );
function my_nav_menu_profile_link($menu) {
    if (!is_user_logged_in())
        return $menu;
    else
        $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
        $user=$current_user->user_login ;
        $profilelink = '<li><a href="/forums/users/' . $user . '/edit">Edit Profile</a></li>';
        $menu = $menu . $profilelink;
        return $menu;
 
}

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

Thanks!
