Hi guys, I’m pretty new(bie) on WordPress, hope some1 could help me.

I’ve created a little test site here: http://www.elite-force.it/test

Then, I’ve installed bbpress and I’ve created menu entries with those magical-fantastic short codes.

Everything seems going fine, of course it will need some CSS adjustment but I don’t panic on that… else way I panic because I can’t reach profile page…

My forum is: http://www.elite-force.it/test/forum/
And profile for my user should be: http://www.elite-force.it/test/forums/user/goose/

When I go to my profile page, something strange happen… It seems that bbpress use my homepage php to build the page.. of course result in a home-similar, with a “THESE POSTS ARE BY: ” on top and any other infos…

I read that bbpress look for page.php if there is no bbpress.php on theme root folder, but if I also create a copy of my page.php or post.php doesn’t fix the problem.

Is because that template uses dynamic pages? there is no solution? I mean, There is no way to override bbpress page settings and make a different view for the profile page?

Please… help those noob

Sorry, I am sure this has been answered but I cannot find an answer to it through google etc.

I want to give my forum roles a bit of a better look, like a little box around them that has a different fill color.

I cant really find a great example, but when I look at rc groups, in the bottom corner it says their status, like admin/moderator etc.

http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2198097

anyways, I am pretty new to wordpress but I have a child theme and custom style.css

Thank You,
JB

I’m attempting to log into the codex to help with documentation. I always show as anonymous on the codex pages and the log in link goes to BuddyPress. I log in there and end up on the BuddyPress support forum instead of being redirected back. If I come back manually and refresh the page, I am still not logged in.

I have tried logging in on WordPress.org to see if that carries over, but not luck. Obviously, I’m logged into the support forum now to post this.

I’ve also tried clearing cookies and tested with multiple browsers with no change either.

Hi Robin,

Not sure what was confusing about my questions? I’ll try and make them a bit more clear.

1. The only place within bbPress that says: “Sorry, this forum is for verified users only. Please Login or Register to continue” is on the page after clicking on a topic if you’re not logged in. This is what needs to be edited and I can’t find the php code to edit this.

I need to edit the text that’s contained in the yellow box because the default links to Login and Register take you to the default WordPress login and register screen. I don’t want that and would like to:

A. Remove the links altogether and just leave the text.
B. Edit those two links to lead to my front-end Login / Register pages instead.

In other words, If you go to the default forums page, after clicking on a forum you are taken to the discussions page. If you’re not logged in, at the bottom is a yellow box that says “You must be logged in to create new topics.” This is fine because it not only says exactly what I want it to say, it doesn’t have links to Login and Register.

Next step…

After clicking on any of the listed discussions, you are then taken to the topics within that discussion. If you’re not logged in, at the bottom is a yellow box that says “Sorry, this forum is for verified users only. Please Login or Register to continue. This is the text that I need to edit because the login and register links don’t take my users to the pages I want them to go to. Instead of the front end login and register pages that I’ve created, these two links go to the default WordPress login register. I can’t have this.

How can I:

A. Remove the links altogether.
B. Edit the links to lead to my front-end Login / Register page.

Thank you so much for your time!!

Cheers!

deactivate your plugins one at a time , and find the plugin thats causing some issues.
switch to a different theme and see if it works there

other than that contact GD bbPress attachment plugin support

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

[stote]

Hello,

I have installed the GD bbPress attachment plugin but the attachment button is not appearing. I have tried researching into it but cannot work out why it is not working. Please help!

Wordpress version is 3.9.2 and bbPress version is 2.5.4.

Hi Guys

The link to create a new forum is missing in he WordPress backend.
I have the ‘Forum’ link in the menu on the left, but there is no ‘Add New’ or ‘New Forum’ option.

I am logged in as Admin

I have BBpress 2.3.2
ihave “bbpress quotes” plug in and “GB BBpress attachemtnts” plug in.

If i disable the attachments plug ins i lose the ‘Forum’ link in the left hand menu completely! When i reactivate this plug in i get the Forum menu item again with only the ‘Archive forums’ option

Can anyone help? I just need to create one more forum!

Thanks in advance for any help or advice guys

[Robin W]

ok, I am trying to help you, but there are thousands of wordpress themes, and I have no idea what sidebar 2 and 3 are supposed to do.

which would you like to achieve

a full width forum or show both sidebar 2 and sidebar 3, and if the latter can you create a testpage with just some text on and post the url, sop that I can see what it should look like.

[Robkk]

only thing i could think of is changing your quote method to bbcode.
or deactivate your plugins, and activate them one at a time to find if there is a plugin issue.

but yeah not sure at all, you could also contact wp-monalisa support too

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-monalisa

but yeah its more of getting support from gd bbpress tools.

Hi all,

I have already installed bbPress successfully and some users post new topic/replies normally. However, one user’s new topic/replies are automatically marked as spams after he submits his posts. Is there any way to stop this? And does this relate to IP Address Blocker or anti-spam plugin?

WordPress version: 3.9.2
bbPress version: 2.5.4

Any help is truly appreciated. Hope to get response soon.

Regards,
Linh Do

you should be remove *template Name : ….*
its not a page template, should be have some code like this in start file :

<?php
/**
 * The template for displaying bbPress content.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage BuddyBoss
 * @since BuddyBoss 3.0
 */

get_header(); ?>

	<!-- if widgets are loaded in the Forums sidebar, display it -->	
	<?php if ( is_active_sidebar('forums') ) : ?>		
		<div class="page-right-sidebar">

	<!-- if not, hide the sidebar -->
	<?php else: ?>
		<div class="page-full-width">
	<?php endif; ?>

			<!-- bbPress template content -->
			<div id="primary" class="site-content">
			
				<div id="content" role="main">

					<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
						<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>
						<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>
					<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

				</div><!-- #content -->
			</div><!-- #primary -->

			<?php get_sidebar('bbpress'); ?>

		</div><!-- closing div -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

I thought you would like to know my hosting provider persevered and created a procedure to resolve this issue. It was….

=== From the support engineer ===
1. Deactivate the bbPress plugin.
2. Find the database version in the wp_options table and reset that back to “1”. I could have picked an actual WordPress database version (and probably something as simple as the most recent), but I knew this worked from the testing on the development site.
3. Once the database version was manually set back to 1, I had to navigate to: https://zippe.biz/wp-admin/upgrade.php. This forced WordPress to run all of the database upgrades required to get from version 1 to the latest version of the database (27916).
4. Once the upgrades had completed I needed to reset the account password for our account. I noticed this was required on both the staging site and the live site, so my hunch is it may have reset some keys. You’ll likely need to do this for all of your accounts as well.
5. After the password had been reset I was able to login and the dashboard loaded normally.

I’ve recently installed a bbPress forum within my wordpress blog. See link here. But for some reason my bbpress forum does not extend out to the full width of the page. Its very narrow looking.

When I first uploaded bbpress I created a ‘Page’ and called it ‘forum’. Within that page I can add sidebars and widgets to those sidebars but none of that works for me and I would like to find out why and how I can fix it?

I’m using wordpress version 3.9.1. And bbpress version 2.5.4.

[Robin W]

ok, on no. 1

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-last-post/

[azafuel]

Wordpress version : 3.9.1
Bbpress version : 2.5.4
My site : gamemute.com

I’m just wondering if i can change the edit profile link from wp-admin/ to http://www.gamemute.com/?bbp_user=1

I’m using the game addict theme, a bbpress compatible theme !

Thanks and sorry for my bad english

[Robin W]

First one :

add this code to your functions file

//disable toolbar for non-admins
if (!current_user_can('manage_options')) {
show_admin_bar(false);
}

see

Functions files and child themes – explained !

Second one

use my plugin

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

This will let you set exactly who can see forums

[kaminoda]

Hi everyone 🙂

I have a question about the registration to my website’s forum : i’m currently setting the forum and the registration form. I asked a friend of mine to register to see if it works but it didn’t go as intended and i have two (little) problems :

The first one is that when they register they register to the wordpress website and can access to the toolbar on the top of the screen (as seen on this screenshot http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2014/32/1407314693-capture-d-ecran-2014-08-06-a-10-42-52.png). The problem is that i just want them to be able to post on the forum : even if there is not much informations in the toolbar since they are not admin, i’d just like them to just be able to post on the forum (and not have access to the dashboard of wordpress or anything else). I don’t know if what i’m asking is very clear ?

The second thing is that i’d like to set up a forum for the beta of my game : i understood that the “hidden” attribute on a forum hide it from the “participant” level user. The problem is that when i set a user to “keymaster” in order to make him able to see the hidden forum, he has also access to some new features like “create a new forum” (via the toolbar on the top of the screen) and i don’t want them to be able to do that. Is it possible to set a custom user’s “category” (like “beta user”) so they’ll only be able to access to the “hidden” forum, create topic, and post ?

I may not be very clear here so i hope you’ll be able to help me 🙂
Thank you

I have installed bbpress on multiple wordpress sites and seem to always have the same issue. On the main forum index page it says 0 voices and 1 posts no matter how many posts you create this never changes. Being that this has occurred on every site that I have included bbpress and being different themes and installs I can only conclude that I must be missing something when I set it up.

If anyone can help I would appreciate it….because you cannot run a forum that says there is only 1 post in it 🙁

Also I use no shortcodes, I just install bbpress then go to http://www.example.com/forums and start posting.

[Robkk]

Sorry I don’t understand.

Is this functionality already built in?

no its really a question

is all of this that you are working on suppose to modify the backend profile in wordpress??

[Robkk]

@desiamerican26 ok enable the visual editor

install this

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

to add font-size and font-color install tinymce advanced also

https://wordpress.org/plugins/tinymce-advanced/

heres some screenshots of tinymce advanced

TinyMCE Advanced

[Robkk]

this is all backend in wordpress??

[Robkk]

i have bbpress and i dont have a forum specific sidebar

so it must be something else. Do you have this plugin??

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-wp-tweaks/

if your just using it for a forum specific sidebar, custom sidebars plugin can do that??
you just create a sidebar and only place it on forums, replies, topics then just throw those widgets in there.

[Stephen Edgar]

Robin, WordPress includes functions for this:

e.g. sanitize_file_name($current_user->user_login);

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/sanitize_file_name
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/sanitize_title
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/sanitize_title_with_dashes
(There are quite a few of them, they are linked in the ‘related’ sections of the above articles)
