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

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)

[Robin W]

the plugin

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

should do that, just set private forum visibility to on, and non registered users will see the forums, but only registered users with that group set will see the topics

[Stephen Edgar]

1. Yes, the vast majority of the time you will want to import your users, the exceptions to this are typically other forum plugins for WordPress where the users already exist as WordPress users.

2. No. At this stage there is no way to only import changes since your last import, I’d love to add support for this in the future though.

3. Leave this unchecked, it’s designed to allow you to restart the import from ‘scratch’ by first deleting any previously imported content. The thing is this only partially works and I am actually fixing this as we speak. If you need to delete any imported content to start again use the “Reset Forums” tab and be sure to also delete the imported users.

You can also click the ‘Help’ link in the top right if the screen that will explain more of these options for additional info.

Thanks guys!

Robkk –

My wordpress setup is special situation. The Leaning Management System for the school I work for has it’s own version that it maintains with about 50 approved plugins (including bbpress)…I don’t have access to the FTP files unfortunately.

I was able to get most of the CSS working by copying and pasting the bbpress CSS into the custom CSS area in the WP dashboard. I shouldn’t have to do this, so I’m contacting the Learning Management System to report this possible bug.

Stephen –

You checked out the site after I had most of the CSS working. What Robkk saw was no styling at all…everything was listed with bullets like a regular < li > would be styled.

That said, your idea to create a child forum worked!

Thank you both for your help!

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on a project over the last month that was working perfectly on my local Mamp server. When I migrated the site to my clients server for testing I was disappointed to find that neither topic creation or reply posting was working.
I’ve disabled all plugins except bbPress (even though they all worked on my server), reset permalinks and I know the theme I created wasn’t a problem because it worked perfectly in dev.

I’m a little stressed at this point as this week was supposed to be for testing and final rollout and that’s all come to a screeching halt without this basic functionality.
Would really appreciate any help I can get with this.

Thanks a lot!

[Stephen Edgar]

My suggestion here would be to activate bbPress and try to “edit post” whatever the case may be per my previous post above (WordPress posts or bbPress topic/reply) and if you still cannot “edit” whatever it is you are trying to edit start disabling all your active plugins one by one, once you deactivate one try your ‘edit’ thing again, if it now works you know the conflicting plugin, if not disable another plugin and try again.

[Stephen Edgar]

Also as per another previous post of mine above:

“My issue with the plugin is the ‘edit’ feature on posts doesn’t work”

Could you clarify what you mean by this, editing WordPress Posts or bbPress topics/replies?

@kevinbcarney The Deleting Conversion Table… Failed is nothing to worry about, this is just cleaning up and removing the extra database table if you had previously imported forums.

Rob is also correct above (presuming you do want to delete all bbPress data)

• Run “Reset Forums”
• Deactivate bbPress
• Uninstall bbPress plugin

I’ve just tested this and I have no issues accessing the dashboard after performing the above steps.

Caveat: You are correct that the bbp_keymaster role is still assigned to the user in wp_usermeta, though this should not block access for you to WordPress’ dashboard, there is a tweak to the uninstall/deactivation for bbPress 2.6 listed here in #2580. I also came upon another issue that I’m updating a patch for now, but again, none of this should be stopping yopu from accessing the dashboard after deactivation and/or uninstall.

As Rob wrote, what other plugins are you using that may conflict with this? It could be any plugin role or capability related and/or other plugins that extend bbPress functionality.

[Stephen Edgar]

Cool, I created a ticket for this, no idea when we will get to look at doing this though.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2670

I’d suggest for now take a look at the plugin I mentioned above to allow replying by email.

Hi,

Can someone help me with the Font and Text Color in the forums. I was looking for some plugin or something but unable to find one.

I was basically looking for if someone is posting in the forums and they need to have ifferent colors to highlight what they type…like I have seen in some forums and also if they can change the size of the fonts…..

Wordpress Version: 3.9.1
BBPress Version: 2.5.4

I installed bbPress last night for the first time and WOW, this is a FANTASTIC plugin!! Very impressed!!

I have two questions so far:

Question #1. How do I edit the following text when someone comes to my forum and isn’t logged in:

“Sorry, this forum is for verified users only. Please Login or Register to continue”

The issue is that both Login and Register are links that lead to the default WordPress Login and Register pages. bbPress doesn’t offer an option in the settings to specify a custom page for both of these links (which needs to be added in a future update) and I’ve searched the .php files under Dashboard > Plugins > Editor > bbPress but can’t find the file to edit/remove the links? My site has been customized with front-end pages for Login/Register/Edit Profile so that no one is sent to the default Login/Register pages or the Dashboard. The default bbPress installation doesn’t work for my site simply bc I can’t edit these links…

Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Which .php file contains that text? Also, under Dashboard > Settings > Forums

// This path should be changed to:

Dashboard > Settings > bbPress

Not sure why the team chose to use the word “Forums” here but labeling that tab “bbPress” would make a lot more sense for your users. 🙂 Please add the ability to redirect both of those Login and Register links to whatever URL the user desires here: Dashboard > Settings > bbPress

Question #2. After creating topics, to the far left under the word topic there’s a red X and a clock next to the topic titles (I have two dummy topics so far). If I click on the red X, it won’t delete? Why is that delete icon there while the other is a pretty little clock? I didn’t do this, they were both posted a few minutes apart, and both have different icons?? Very confusing.

Cheers!

Despite recent topics widget is functioning on my website widget.php is considered “inactive” in wordpress and it doesn’t react to any changes. I would really appreciate your help.

Hi Stephen

Thanks for your help…greatly appreciated. I have one more question:-

The forum on the site we copied (SITE A)(which is now 12 weeks out-of-date) holds the following data:-
Forums 445
Topics 409
Replies 2036
Tags 385

The forum on the site that we kept running (SITE B) while re-designing holds the following data:-
Forums 445
Topics 464
Replies 2258
Tags 448

When using the WordPress Export (Tools->Export) on SITE B and then the bbpress import (Tools->Forums) option on SITE A will the system duplicate the old entries and therefore only transfer the new Topics, Replies and Tags? Or will I need to do something else first to clear the old data and allow the entire forum data to be imported.

P.S – I have already imported all the users via an S2 Member export and import so all the user ID’s should be in place already.

I’m getting there…I think!

Thanks again
Phil

@aussiestar14

is this the theme that you have ??

Oxygen

[Robkk]

Is it difficult to do so?

i dont know how jquery works so yes.

but i looked at the plugins info and there is a doc embedder button in the visual editor

so maybe try to enable visual editor in bbpress

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

then click enable the full default TinyMCE mode, and see if the google doc button shows up.
