[Cotoonline]

Hello! I have installed bbpress to my wordpress site that I host on a private host. Everything seems to have installed fine. So here is the problem. No users, regardless of their role, is able to view the initial topic post. All replies are viewable, just not the original post.

Website: http://main.coto-online.com/forums/

I have tried repairing the forums, and it doesn’t work. I have tried disabling/re-enabling plugins and it doesn’t work. I’m hesitant to uninstall/reinstall the forums as I don’t want to lose the posts members have already made.

Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi. I have inherited a site using BBpress and there are some issues with new user registration. The forum settings are to give new registered users a Participant role, and my WP default is Subscriber for new users.

However, when somebody new registers for the forum, they are given full Admin access in wordpress. Obviously not something that is desirable.

I’m running the latest versions of both WP and BB. Please advise!

Oh got it, thanks. I was looking for where in WordPress it appears !

[Robin W]

Most of the filters are held in the templates that are located as follows :

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/template.php
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/topics/template.php
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/template.php
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/users/template.php
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/search/template.php

There are two typically filters, one on the final function usually within the ‘return’, and one that mimics wordpress’s ‘before’ filters
from the docs

Near the beginning of many functions we find :

// Parse arguments against default values
    $r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
        'before'            => '<ul class=&quot;bbp-forums-list&quot;>',
        'after'             => '',
        'link_before'       => '<li class=&quot;bbp-forum&quot;>',
        'link_after'        => '',
        'count_before'      => ' (',
        'count_after'       => ')',
        'count_sep'         => ', ',
        'separator'         => ', ',
        'forum_id'          => '',
        'show_topic_count'  => true,
        'show_reply_count'  => true,
    ), 'list_forums' );
 

This is a common format throughout bbPress, and indeed is similar to a function used throughout wordpress.

It uses a function called bbp_parse_args to create a filter against all the arguments.

The filter created is in the format bbp_before_ followed by X followed by _parse_args The X is the third argument from the bbp_parse_args function – if you look at the code above you’ll see that it is actually
bbp_parse_args ($args, Array(...), 'list_forums' )

so in the last line we see list forums which is the X above . In practice this is the function without the bbp start bit.

so an array filter for bbp_list_forums is bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args
and for say bbp_get_topic_pagination would be
bbp_before_get_topic_pagination_parse_args

i did find this topic that might help

Simple Rating plugin for wordpress – get it working for bbpress?

here is an old versions list of filters (its 2.0)

http://etivite.com/api-hooks/bbpress/triggers/apply_filters/

here is a gist that might be helpful (2011)

gist.github.com/farinspace/1372637

you can manually find topic/replies/forums filters in

by going to through the plugin files in

bbpress>includes>

then choose replies/forums/topics

then go into the template file to find all the filters used

[Robkk]

try using this plugin, use the logout link from this plugin and use a custom login link for the bbPress login shortcode if you want.

@awpt

bbPress uses the WordPress post tables.

but to reset forum go to tools>forums>reset forums

you should see these sub-menu items under tools

Tools
available tools
import
export
forums

@alaskanbob

Sorry sometimes topics can be lost from our attention sometimes.

the other guy is SPAM

if you want you can create me a dummy account and send the details to my email listed here.

Contact

if i cant figure it out , maybe going to the BuddyPress forums would help out to

https://buddypress.org/support/

[Robkk]

this seems like custom development please post a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/

[Robkk]

there probably isnt a plugin like this for bbPress

if the plugin works for custom post types it might work??

you can contact the plugin developer to try to make it work on custom post types like the ones bbPress uses.

other than that i suggest you post a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/ and see if a developer can custom develop this for you.

[Robkk]

this is a pretty common request here

there might be issues where you cant add the permissions to work on only the participants created topics only though.

i suggest searching the forums try finding topics only in the past 1-2 years past that will probably be unusable code.

other than that go to http://jobs.wordpress.net/

I think there is a need for a small tutorial on editors, root folders and ftp access for starters, I remember being very intimidated by my root folders at first.

there are so many editors that you can use , basic editing are very close to normal text editors so it shouldnt be a problem.

Root folders WordPress explains here …kind of. going behidn that should be host files that you should never touch unless you are very advanced, and know what you are doing.

codex.wordpress.org/Determining_Plugin_and_Content_Directories

Explaining FTP , idk there are usually tutorials on using FTP on the host providers website, and also searching in google how to set it up and learning is not that hard to do.

https://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients
https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_FileZilla

[Robkk]

this should not be a problem with bbPress , but how you/something you installed changed the default from address that WordPress uses in the mail function.

by default its wordpress@(yoursite)

did you use a function/plugin to change the from address??

It could be a plugin issue

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.

[Robkk]

for registrations i use bruteprotect it helps out alot.

bruteprotect + akismet = <3

plus combine that with bbPress’s spam control functions (throttle posting/time to edit)

bbpress uses the comment moderation settings https://codex.bbpress.org/moderation-and-blacklisting/

so combine that with the blacklist.txt from here and you should be fine

[Helene N – Insdigbord]

Yes, I’ve already done this, but then after that ? How can I interact from my wordpress once set up ?

[Robin W]

bbpress works as a plugin to wordpress, so you set up a wordpress site and add bbpress.

Hello

I was trying to edit the topic color in the bbpress.css but I was unable to do so. I need help in this.
The link is:- http://baaplog.hol.es/forums/forum/baap-bando-ka-ghar/
I want to do the color of XYZ topic to white.

My wordpress version is 4.1.1
My bbpress version is 2.5.5

Thanks

[johodges]

I’m having the same problem and I’m also using customizr. As I’m a WordPress newbie, I’m afraid I have no solution to offer but am keen to resolve the issue. Thank you.

[Helene N – Insdigbord]

Hey, I’m kinda lost between wordpress.org and bbpress.org, how those things work ?
What about our dashbord on the wordpress backoffice ?
Thanks

[Robkk]

there is no shortcode for recent replies

you could try this??

https://wordpress.org/plugins/amr-shortcode-any-widget/

you could follow this tutorial to create a recent replies shortcode , i tried it and i didnt get the results i wanted before

http://www.daggerhart.com/bbpress-recent-replies-shortcode/

other things you could do is use get template part, then make a shortcode for a template

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_template_part

you could do some custom query in a new template , put a custom sidebar in the template and place the widget there.

then if you want follow this tutorial to use get_template with a shortcode

Ok, it looks like the problem is partly in our theme, but there is a change in 2.5.5 not mentioned in the changelog that is triggering the issue. It seems to be related to this:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2607

We have a check on WP_Query->is_search that is returning true in the topic and reply loops when I believe it should be returning false. The resolution of the above ticket was supposed to fix this same issue…
