I enabled the “add media” button in bbpress through bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab plugin(by enabling “Fancy editor media upload”), and i can see the button in the forum, however i got error when trying to upload a picture:
“You don’t have permission to attach files to this post.”

the site role is Author while the forum role is Participant.

I can add media if in wordpress, and I can also add media if the user is changed from participant to Keymaster.

the code is in ajax-actions.php, however, if i remove it i got “HTTP error.”

        if ( isset( $_REQUEST['post_id'] ) ) {
                $post_id = $_REQUEST['post_id'];
                if ( ! current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post_id ) ) {
                        echo wp_json_encode( array(
                                'success' => false,
                                'data'    => array(
                                        'message'  => __( "You don't have permission to attach files to this post." ),
                                        'filename' => $_FILES['async-upload']['name'],
                                )
                        ) );

                        wp_die();
                }

it probably could be done with any unread post plugin but here is two that have that exact kind of feature.

alright as long as the favorite/subscribe links are black then grayish on hover in Firefox , then my code is working fine.

as for your cache issue make sure to contact other support to help you will this.

your hosting support and also wordpress.org support should help.

Support Forums

and maybe installing the CCleaner program on your CPU will help remove some of chromes internet cache.

And if you figure out a configuration for the cache function on your site , make sure the setting have it to not having any Admin user and logged in user not have cache since this is usually recommended.

Another script – this one cleans up the messy duplicate attachment references to the same media entry that were left behind, should you happen to re-run the older version of the script. Hopefully
you will not need this, but I certainly did after developing the script and running it dozens of times! – Mike

@pazzaglia1

you are running into a couple issues.

As for some users i can see their profile leads to a 404 too.

create me an Admin account and send me the login details by email so i can see what plugins you are using , if there is a code snippet causing an issue, your theme , or something else.

when im done helping you , you can delete the account.

@ebunny3k

are you talking about categories/subforums like this.

[Robin W]

ok, Rob’s the css guru, but why not try my plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

which will let you style the hyperlinks (no. 5 in forum index styling)

Otherwise come back and we’ll help further

[Robin W]

good set of questions!

bbpress uses WordPress registration for forum users, so they will integrate nicely.

There are widgets within bboress that allow for login and registration

With forums set to public, then anyone can see forums, but only logged in users can ‘participate’

Users can change their email in the profile section

two queries

5. Once registered, every time the user visits again login will be required to participate in the forums.

This will be the case, unless they use the remember me function, but in effect that is the same as it is a logged in person. There are plugins to prevent remember me if you want to disable eg
https://wordpress.org/plugins/remember-me-controls/

7. The user will have to be allowed to unsubscribe.

They cannot delete themselves, they can just stop using. They can of course send the admin a request to be deleted, and then the admin has the choice of deleting all content for that user, assigning it to someone else, or just blocking that user so that the content remains under their name.

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!

@andrew55

You could hire a coder at any freelance website like http://jobs.wordpress.net/

But yeah like you said its not a huge issue.

[Robkk]

that was 7 years ago when bbPress was not a WordPress plugin.

just use any normal WordPress theme.

search bbPress compatible WordPress themes in google to find one that should would work great.

or search bbPress in the wordpress add new theme area in the backend of wordpress.

This plugin will help styling bbPress on any WordPress theme though.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

[Robkk]

As long as you use quality plugins for image upload for bbPress like this one you should be fine.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/

hosting images elsewhere should help on server disk space though, well unless you have a CDN.

@garrett-eclipse

there are likely other people who have posted a topic like this one from 3 years ago.

you can try the code the user placed below for the bbPress custom post types and see if it works.

@chicco30

go to appearance > themes then click the add new button and either search the wordpress theme repository or upload a theme

[Robkk]

bbPress doesnt have a specific admin area for itself, it basically just uses the existing WordPress admin area.

you can,

create all the forums in the backend.

create some topics/replies in the backend but for me its better to do it frontend.

go to the settings menu go into the bbPress settings by going to settigns > forums in the backend of WordPress.

manage users in the backend.

use the addditional tools in the tools section, its named forums.

use the moderation and blacklisting settings in settings > discussion.

if you need help trying to find something else reply back.

[Robkk]

BuddyPress should have this feature , bbPress is also compatible with BuddyPress.

I tried with twentyfifteen and it still looks the same. Im not sure if i understand it clearly, but if yes, then: If i set it not equal then in the breadcrump it will show the bbpress’s virtual page for the forum root-and in the url also, and not my real wordpress forum page i created with shortcodes.

[jayd94]

yes, like so

And this is how it looks on the page now

But setting the forum root to be the wordpress page clearly makes the problem, before it looks just perfect.
(down below if images dont appear)

[Robin W]

the same as my wp page’s slug

by which I think you mean you have a WordPress page called say ‘forum’ with the slug of ‘foforum’ with the [bbp-forum-index] in it?

[jayd94]

Sorry if i wasn’t clear. So my problem basically is: BBpress has the forum root option, that i set the same as my wp page’s slug. It works, forum is shown on the wordpress page, and the url is okay, and the breadcrump is also okay.–>but setting the root to show forum on my wp page also breaks my [bbp-single-forum id=xxx]-shortcodes—-it seems to now show up on the page as if it was this shortcode:[bbp-forum-index] instead of each and every one of my[bbp-single-forum id=xxx] shortcodes.

[grosbouff]

I just made one, check it out !

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-votes/

Allow users to vote up or down to topics and replies inside bbPress, just like you can on StackOverflow for example.

[DanaJoy2008]

Hello!

First: I’m using WordPress 4.1.1 running The Thinker Lite theme. I’m using bbPress 2.5.6 and my site is artintheblood.net.

I would like to change the color of the hyperlinks that appear in posts on my forum. For example, I’d like to have them be blue. I went in yesterday in hopes of doing that, but when I made the changes via the bbPress style pack (which is completely brilliant), ALL of the links were changed. The topic titles, user names, everything.

Is there a way to only change the color of links that appear within posts? Or is this just a lovely pipe dream that exists in my head?

Thank you so much for any advice you can offer!

[Sam Rohn]

any kind of wordpress/bbpress or other website that has open public registration needs very strong anti spambot protection, i use a few different plugins, but some spammers still get through sometimes, no one plugin will get them all…

these 2 work well together, but a few bots etc will still slip though, search this bbpress forum for more anti-spam info

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.
