i think using this instead will allow more customization options to the widget

i suggest you go to http://jobs.wordpress.net/ and post a job so a developer can help you with this.

@drsarf

sorry i forgot about your topic

in page is kind of hard to do since there is usually multiple forums.

the only thing i can think of is maybe outputting the shortcode in a template

like so <?php echo do_shortcode("[shortcode]"); ?>

but then since there is multiple forums you will need multiple shortcodes for each slider.

which would require you to use a bunch of if statements for each forum.

i suggest go to http://jobs.wordpress.net/ and see if a developer can do this for you.

[Robkk]

the only way i think is to manually switch to the users account and manually unsubscribe.

this plugin might help to switch to the users account.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-switching/

other than that i dont think there is a way to unsubscribe particular users from the backend.

1.

this sounds kind of like custom development , but i think it would require maybe adding featured images support to topics. Placing the featured image template tag from WordPress and put it near the topic title maybe with a hook. Then use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/get-the-image/ to catch any attachment in the post and have it as its featured image.

like i said this is some custom development so im not completely sure how it would turn out , but post a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/ and maybe someone else will develop this for you.

2.

there is a few plugins that add this kind of functionality but i think a paid plugin like userpro will have this type of thing for sure.

I am using WordPress 4.1.1, and bbPress 2.5.6 with the Theme Twenty Thirteen, and bbPress does not display correctly, all pages of the forum look like this, and the rest of website look fine. Does anyone have any suggestions I could try in order to fix this?

I want to offer this php script in exchange for the help Stephen’s script provided. It ran successfully on my installation, going from SMF 2.0.4 to bbPress 2.5.6 / GD bbPress Attachments 2.2. Most of my time is taken up with consulting, and I regret that I will not be providing much in the way of support for this script.

This is a stand-alone php script that you must modify to target your SMF install. I suggest using notepad++ to edit for readability, and something like FileZilla to transfer your file to your host. Install and run the script in the root folder of your WordPress folder. I used Putty configured for an SSHconnection. Do not try to run it via http – the script will time out.

Thanks to Stephen Edgar for providing the original php on which this is based.

It is still in english:/
Do you have any idea why?

P.S. I dont know if it is important, but I installed the old version per WordPress and not FTP.

[Robin W]

Yes, deactivate and delete the current plugin – you won’t lose the forums !

then

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/developers/

and download the appropriate version at the bottom of the screen to your pc and then uploads it and activate

[Skvirly]

I am trying to install bbPress 2.5.6 with the Sweetdate theme using WordPress 4.1 Everytime I install the bbPress plug in I get the 500 Internal Server error. Removing bbPress using FTP resolves the issue so it looks like a bbPress issue. Other plug ins install fine. Any suggestions ? The site is not yet up. Thanks.

Hi,

When I go to create a group in the front end;

1) I enter group name and description;
2) I insert the name and description of the group I want to create
3) If i press next step, i am faced with a Wp error page asking: “Si è davvero sicuri di voler far questo?”, clicking on the “riprovare” me page not found.

The group is not created.

I installed WordPress 3.8.5 with the theme Avada version 3.6.1 of ThemeFusion.

The main plugin installed are: bbpress (version 2.5.6), buddypress (version 2.2.1), wpml, GEO my WP (version 2.5 with add-ons: Groups Locator, Xprofile Fields, Post Types Locator and Members Locator) and U BuddyPress Forum Attachment.

Thanks in advance

Matteo

I still have this problem on the latest bbpress and wordpress. Im trying to embed the shortcode on the feedback-no-search.php so that it displays when there is no search result and the user can ask the question on the forum. For admins it works fine but for non-admins get the message “You cannot create new topics.”

The fix that @satrya and @robin-w posted also doesn’t work on this version of bbpress, but again thats ia comment from a year ago.

[Robkk]

bbPress doesnt output shortcodes use something like this

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-do-short-codes/

[Robkk]

you really shouldn’t edit core code…i hope you havent messed something up and now are getting a domino effect of issues.

you should also contact wp user avatar plugin support just in case too.

i gotta say email me , so i can double check your setup

Contact

im mostly going to ask how you set up your forum and see if i can duplicate the issue.

[Robkk]

create me an admin account , so i can see what could cause it , i will email you when i enter the wp-admin and when i leave.

Contact

@booknerds

im not sure antispam bee is compatible with bbPress though, there is a plugin for bbPress that is inspired by antispam bee though.

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

maybe you should manually approve users using this plugin too

https://wordpress.org/plugins/new-user-approve/

[Robkk]

this plugin looks like it should do it for you.

I’m seeing some weird freshness bugs on a bbpress installation (version 2.5.5). I’m using a different forum structure (a forum index, subforums, etc. – a traditional phpBB layout), so the bug is even more visible to the general public, but it’s certainly not the cause of these bugs, because I can easily reproduce the bug just by clicking on the trash link in the frontend or WordPress Admin and looking at the postmeta database.

I’ve tried using the admin tool to recalculate freshness, but it makes the whole situation worse. So, I have to manually change the freshness postmetas of all forums and subforums. 🙁

I’ve encountered at least three different bugs:
– wrong freshness set for parent forum and subforums after trashing a post
– wrong freshness set for forums and subforums after using freshness recalculation via admin tools
– no updated freshness set for parent forum and subforums after untrashing a post

This seems like a blocker to me. How can I help? Are those bugs covered inside bug #2414 or bug #1925?

[metsoblue]

I have been having this problem since i first installed the plugin, I am using bbPress Version 2.5.4, WordPress Version 4.1, with the theme Twenty Thirteen, and I cannot seem to get the replies to show at all, forums and topic appear fine.
I have already tried changing to Twenty Fourteen, and the problem did not disappear, and the only plugin currently active is bbPress.

[roysmyth]

I recently did a new install of bbPress (v2.5.5) on a site that had happily been running The Events Manager plugin for years. All Events Manager capabilities disappeared from all roles. According to the Events Manager support forum, I’m not the first reporting this. It was easy to fix as I had a backup of the previous capability settings, but something isn’t playing nice. WordPress 4.1.1, Events Manager 5.5.5, theme 2010.

An update on this.

I got it to work by editing the .htaccess file.

Add this code block at the start of the file:

<FilesMatch “^(wp-login|wp-log|index)\.php$”>
Header set Set-Cookie wordpress_test_cookie=WP+Cookie+check
</FilesMatch>

Hi Robkk,

Thank you for the reply. I’ve tried all the default WordPress themes from Twenty Twelve from Twenty Fifteen and the problem is still there.
I have not edited the role permisssions, no.
Any ideas on what else I can do?

[nolimit966]

Hi,

I had this issue since i very first installed BBpress along with the plugin – WP User Avatar.

The avatars are not showing in the forum at all. Its a completely bespoke WordPress theme with nothing in the functions.php to be doing any filtering or stripping out extensions of any type.
Ive also disabled every single plugin except bbpress & the avatars plugin & i still get the problem.

Can anyone please help me overcome this problem?

I did notice that in the bbpress / filters.php the line which says : add_filter( ‘bbp_get_reply_author_link’, ‘stripslashes’ ); had to be commented out because it was removing the backslashes from the avatar URL making things even worse.

I dont like the fact ive had to manipulate core code to do this. Surely there has to be a better was to get avatars working.

Thank you 🙂

[Robkk]

last patch says 19months so i wouldnt touch it.

maybe using a custom last edit log using the two template tags below would work
