Hello,

I have some problem on my site, the preview of my theme don’t work correctly. When I in WP_DEBUG_LOG limited to 128 Mb I have this results :

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 /var/www/virtual/xy.com/htdocs/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3547

Like many plugins the documentation is not great, and as a humble user I have added to it as I have learnt, a good deal of the documentation is mine.

bbpress is a complex plugin, and I sympathise that it is not great to grasp.

With templates, all functions are written to allow you to filter what is there, this is a standard wordpress/php process, so you’re sort of expected to know about it as part of wordpress! I did try to explain it in

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 5

you can filter many bbpress functions using ‘parse args’ capability – a standard wordpress technique or just filter the whole function, you’ll see a return apply_filters in all template functions and this is the hook that you use.

so for you you could us the code in your other post

Display the last topic updated in the forums loop

If you’d like to help with documentation, just find where something is poor and write what you think it needs changing to, it is newcomers like you that can really help improve what is there

Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init().

I have been getting this message from 2 years ago and I have been reading all the related posts and Q&As from time to time, but it seems that this problem is not resolved yet. I sure that this is a bbPress issue or the issue of Customize template/function for wordpress. Because I have tested with no plugin, so it’s not the case of conflicting plugin and I used WordPress default themes(Twenty Fourteen & Twenty Fifteen).
My wordpress version is 4.1 & my bbpress version is 2.5.4.

The most important thing is that message is only shown on the admin’s ‘Customize‘ page.
I’m developing my own theme, so I want to fix it without disabling WP_DEBUG config.

Thanks for help.

i have not tried it myself, but this plugin says it allows user media uploads (photo & video) & inline posting for bbpress + buddypress

you just want to keep track of who is posting

why not just try this https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpressmoderation/

then moderate everything in the back-end of WordPress

unless your trying to gain the email and name for email marketing??

Can I just say, whilst bbPress is a great SSO solution for those wanting to hook up their WordPress with a forum, it is very difficult to get it going how you like it. There is virtually no decent documentation going over anything except the basics.

I am trying to achieve something relatively simple, however have had to resort to editing the actual plugin itself in an attempt to get it working how I’d like it to be.

What I am trying to do, is edit the freshness part of bbPress. What do I mean by that? Well, I am trying to edit the following:

So what I wanted it to do, was display the actual Topic Title. It makes sense, because as default – what has updated? What thread was last updated without having to drill into the forum?

I also found it bizarre that the title was added within the title tag of the freshness, really? Can we just have some sort of option to allow us to change how things are layed out, or at least create some documentation on how to actually change this without editing the bbPress plugin files (which is what I have had to resort to…)

My question is, how can I change what is displayed there? Surely there’s a better way around it that doesn’t involve hacking my way through the plugin files.

Which bbPress file actually changes this? Like I say, absolutely no documentation on what each file does – it is just guesswork………………

If I am missing something I apologise, but after looking for countless hours I just decided to edit the plugin source to achieve half of what I wanted – still doesn’t help as I would like to change the location of the author picture and time edited and I am not editing the plugin for those.

Am I being stupid?

If anyone would like the most recent topic name within the forum to display on the index, you can edit the Plugin source code directly like so:

if ( !empty( $time_since ) && !empty( $link_url ) )
			$anchor = '<a href="' . esc_url( $link_url ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( $title ) . '">' . esc_html( $time_since ) . '</a>';
		else
			$anchor = esc_html__( 'No Topics', 'bbpress' );

		return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_forum_freshness_link', $anchor, $forum_id, $time_since, $link_url, $title, $active_id );

Find that chunk of code within bbpress/includes/forums/template.php and change to the following:

if ( !empty( $time_since ) && !empty( $link_url ) )
			$anchor = '<a href="' . esc_url( $link_url ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( $title ) . '">' . esc_html( $title ) . '</a>';
		else
			$anchor = esc_html__( 'No Topics', 'bbpress' );

		return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_forum_freshness_link', $anchor, $forum_id, $time_since, $link_url, $title, $active_id );

All we have done here is changed the $time_since to $title. Now you need to re-add the $time_since variable in there somewhere, which is a pain because you may not want it right after the thread title (like myself…)

[Divine_Apex]

Hello! I am new to bbpress. I have just made a new site for my clan and I decided to try out WordPress for the first time. Anyway, I’m going to try and keep this short for you guys. So, I have uploaded a theme and right off the bat there was an issue with the padding between the user’s avatar and username display.

Example:

View post on imgur.com

I have plenty of experience with CSS and I’ve been looking through my FTP files to figure out where this issue is occurring but I can’t seem to find it. I would love to get some direction, or possibly a code to add somewhere in my CSS to fix this. Thanks!

@boertje

allowing users to upload .mp4 video clips and slideshows would need some custom development.

http://jobs.wordpress.net

your users can post youtube/vimeo videos and such in forum posts

and also post slideshare links

and images from flickr/instagram/imgur

all the users have have to do is post a link to their source and it will automatically embed using oembed.

and also if you have embed media automatically in settings>forums

[Robkk]

@robin-w

haha 🙂

only thing i can think of is when i try WAMP i have to activate an apache module to be able to use pretty permalinks with WordPress and bbPress.

i cant think of any other issues though.

[yarashicr]

I am very new to BBPress deployment. One of my client wants me to fetch Topics or discussions of a particular forum or all forums with in a category and display it on the homepage. The only way I can add it on the home page of my site in the current wordpress theme I use is through a custom widget (“text widget”). Can any one help me with the php code to do the same. Also help me on what I need to do inorder to fetch all topics under a particular category, irrespective of the forums to which they belong.

Is there a plugin to do the same or an external widget which I need to install in the form of a plugin.?

If I am not wrong, I assume that the following is the structure of a BBpress forum.
Category >> Forum (Sub Category) >> Topics (Discussion)
Eg: Software >> Apple >> A simple topic or discussion on iPhone.

[Robkk]

you didnt add an additional plugin to add this type of behavior??

i dont think bbPress does this by default , i think it would need a plugin like this to achive this type of thing.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify-nospam/

[Robkk]

adds some pictures and add more details on what you might want.

im sure though it might be some custom development.

and you might need to hire a dev at http://jobs.wordpress.net to devlop this for you.

[Robkk]

yeah that’ll do it , or just installing this

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

[Robkk]

@attuoz

since the bbpFauxData plugin doesnt work use the other ways listed in the article @sam-rohn posted.

especially use the XML file that was in the trac ticket he linked here

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2516

i think you need to the wordpress importer plugin to use the data from the XML file.

[Robkk]

We have installed the latest bbPress + latest WP on our site. Also we have Disqus if this matter.

yeah Disqus not really

We read that bbPress is integrated with ‘Discussion’ settings from WP installation.

well it does but only the comment blacklist and comment moderation , not anything else yet.

more info on this link.

(codex.bbpress.org/moderation-and-blacklisting/)

No answer here? Perhaps a plugin?

sorry its the holidays in the U.S. , we are spending time with families.

there is a plugin though!

This has crippled my site! When can we expect it to work with WordPress 4.1

[jeffpemberton]

I am running bbpress 2.5.4 on WordPress 4.0.1.

I am using bbpress as a private discussion board for each of my life coaching clients. Utilizing “bbP private groups”plugin by Robin Wilson, I basically assign each user to a private group that only them and I are a part of. I then create a Private Forum which I assign as only visible to their private group. Then I am able to have a thread of conversations by topic under each person in which we can respond back and forth.

A couple of my clients are having difficulties when posting replies. It seems that their longer replies are cutting off content when they submit a reply. I have tested and posted extremely long replies, so it is not a length problem. They say that they do not get logged out and the reply submits regularly. But when the page loads, only a portion of the reply is there. I am thinking it may be timing out and only saving what they typed up to a certain time?

Any idea as to why this is happening would be helpful.

Greetings from Alabama,
I am completely new to bbpress buy not WordPress. The problem I am having is the editor leaves alot to be desired and I have search the forum but solutions seem to be out dated. I have tried multiple plug ins but none seem o mimic the wordpress editor.

looking through the example forums I found one that looked close

Is there a tutorial I can follow to achieve this.

[j0n4h]

Hey again,

Running into some trouble customizing my bbpress forums via the bbpress.css file in the my child theme. I’m unsure if the pathway is incorrect, or maybe the intro to the file itself is incorrectly formatted. I do, however, know I was able to enqueue the custom loop-forums.php correctly with the functions.php properly pathwayed.

So, the pathway to the bbpress.css file is default>css>bbpress.css
In my childtheme, I have the bbpress.css file located avada-childtheme>css>bbpress.css

However, whenever I add code into the bbpress.css file after the

`/*
Theme Name: Avada-childtheme
Theme URI: Your website if you don’t intend to publish a separate site just for your theme
Description: A brief description of your child theme
Author: Jonah Hollis
Author URI: http://www.animusesports.com/
Template: Avada
Version: 1.0.0
Tags: whatever tags you might want to use for your child theme
*/

/* =Theme customization starts here
————————————————————– */
it corrupts the bbpress forums and breaks them. When I delete the file, the bbpress forums resume normal functionality. For the purposes of example, I’ll leave them broken.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

@robin-w
Awesome I appreciate the help and time you have given so far and will most likely contact you after the silly season is over.
I will continue to have a play around with this for now as I feel I am close but just one little thing is missing.

If anyone else has any ideas or knowledge on this please feel free to contribute.
From what can gather this used to be “easy” to do prior to bbPress 2.2 when the dynamic roles were implemented. I have seen mention of some filters being able to manipulate map in some way to allow custom bbpress roles to be assigned to wordpress roles.
However as I am not a wizard on these things, I tend to blunder around trying to make sense of it.

[Robin W]

@bob1nz
How can I assign non-standard bbpress roles with custom capabilities to non standard wordpress roles also with custom capabilities using the map so this is performed dynamically?

Sorry, but without major involvement in looking at this and how it is interacting with whatever plugins you are using, I cannot quickly come up with an answer.

@boertje – suggest you start your own thread

[Robin W]

bbpress uses the default wordpress user setup, but adds a bbpres role to the wp-capabilities in user_meta.

So as long as there is a wp_user then on first login by that user bbpress will allocate the default bbpress role as set in Dashboard>settings>forums.

In think this plugin might be your solution, as it seems to create and update wordpress via AD

https://wordpress.org/plugins/active-directory-integration/

and then bbpress will use that wordpress database to add the role.
