Sitewide newsletter http://wordpress.org/plugins/sitewide-newsletter/

but non worked

Thanks tharsheblows. Is this a paid plugin?

Is there a free plugin for this? I tried a few but no success… including this one https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-password-policy-manager/

maybe all these plugins don’t work with bbpress?

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks for this, partially confirmed what you are seeing, I am going to reply in the ticket so we can track this explicitly in a single location, if you could keep your feedback to that ticket in future that would be great.

Here are some pictures to better explain what is happening;
*Sorry everything looks so bad, had child theme disabled while testing.*

Viewing a topic as a user with administrator via wordpress – works as intended.

Viewing a topic as a user marked as subscriber via wordpress and keymaster via bbpress. – topic content does not show.

Again, thank-you so much!

[mlocke90]

I checked the user capabilities using the plugin you linked. The user has read_private_replies.

I also did some further testing and it seems that only users marked as administrator in wordpress can view private topic content. Users marked as Keymaster are unable to view private topic content.

[Stephen Edgar]

We have a ticket in Trac for this here, no patch yet though.https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2204

[Stephen Edgar]

The patch should work fine for any user with the capability read_private_replies which includes the included bbPress Keymaster and Moderator. Are you sure the user/role you are using has the read_private_replies capability?

Install this plugin and navigate to the users profile in the WordPress dashboard to confirm the role and capability of a user.

If I view the index of the bbpress forum I can see my background image for my theme. When I click to go into a specific forum, the background is replaced with a color (off white).

I imagine this is all CSS related and somewhere in the code. I however would like to set all forums to show the same background. I am using a theme called “Explicit” for my wordpress site.

Thanks. I hate being new to this.

This attachment Plugin does not work because of a jQuery error.

(I am new to CSS, Java, and WordPress)

The developer of the plugin is not the best at getting back with people about problems they are having.

Is there another way to add attachments? or is there a known jQuery error and a way to fix it?

[Primus Palus]

I have created a new bbpress forum on my site. If I click on the link through the top menu I get this:

If I click on the announcements section/forum/category… I get this:

I want the index to show up the same as the in forum view. But it seems to be not wanting to work right. I’m also unable to override the background image for that page for some reason.

Any help would be appreciated. I’m at a point now where I’m about to install a different forum and just use it on a sub-domain with no integration with WordPress. This is the second forum I’ve gone through and it’s annoying that there isn’t some simplicity here.

[Stephen Edgar]

Switch to one of WordPress default themes, Twenty Thirteen or Twenty Fourteen.

If bbPress works try your theme again, if bbPress doesn’t deactivate the plugin, delete it and reinstall.

And or try deactivating all your plugins except bbPress then reactivate one by one until the error occurs to find a conflicting plugin.

[Stephen Edgar]

Agreed seems weird, could be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.

Hello,

I’m using bbpress 2.5.3 with a WordPress twenty-twelve child theme. I’m also using bbpress WP tweaks (1.3.1). I’m trying to incorporate the bbpress forums into our theme, and it works fine on the first level with a custom sidebar (I haven’t really styled anything yet — trying to get the basic functionality first):
http://innovativeapprenticeship.org/community/

but at the forum level I’m not getting the right content — no breadcrumb trail; no topic list:
http://innovativeapprenticeship.org/community/forum/test-1/

I put a few echo (‘here’) statements into single-forum.php template I adapted for the child theme and can see that it’s being called. But content-single-forum.php, which is called from single-forum.php if there is content, and which would have the breadcrumb trail and the topic list among other things, is not being called. I tried some echo statements in there and nada. It’s not being called from my child theme or from the bbpress template folder.

Actually, I can see that bbpress has created another navigation level, forum, that doesn’t really exist. Forum is really the first level (our “Community” page). Does this have something to do with the problem?

Has anyone encountered something like this, and do you have any idea why this is happening?

cheers, Cheryl

‘Would you happen to know if i can assign/connect such a “private” Group to a Membership Level of my S2 Members WordPress Plugin?’

Offhand no, I haven’t played with the s2 plugin to know what it does or how it works !

I suspect that total automation would be hard given that you’d presumably need to link a course or courses to a forum or forums, and then link memebers to a group within bbpress representing that.

Load the plugin and have a look, it’ll take you probably about 10 minutes to configure and 1/2 hour to work out how you might want to use it. Then come back and let me know what you are trying to do.

Don’t promise to link, but if it’s easy!

Hi there,

I’m working with a custom profile setup (consolidating the profiles from multiple plugins) and and wondering how I can redirect a bbpress user to this central profile when they try to access their forum profile. In other words, how do I make it so that someone who tries to visit:

http://www.example.com/forums/user/johnsmith

is redirected to:

http://www.example.com/profile

I saw a very old post in this forum that discussed this topic, and they suggested using the following method:

add_action('bb_init', 'profile_redirect');

function profile_redirect() {
    if (is_bb_profile() && $_GET['tab'] != 'edit' && $_GET['tab'] != 'favorites') {
        $user = bb_get_user($_GET['id']);
        if ($user) wp_redirect("http://www.example.com/member/" . $user->user_nicename);
    }
}

Since it’s so old, it doesn’t work anymore, and honestly, what I’d like to do is slightly different. I’d like to redirect a user away from the profile page (regardless of which section they’re on–whether it be favorites, subscriptions, or edit profile) as long as:

1. They are logged in
2. They are on their ownprofile page

How could I do that with the current version of WordPress?

Hi Robin

Thank you for getting back 🙂

Sounds good…

Would you happen to know if i can assign/connect such a “private” Group to a Membership Level of my S2 Members WordPress Plugin?

8 will be ok for the first couple of months but will not be enough as things develop.

So scalable would be great.

[koendb]

I had to read better. It was in the Codex is_page() function reference.

Had to reset the query after the loop:
wp_reset_query(); // and after that:
if(is_page()){ // etc.

[Stephen Edgar]

Confirmed, thanks for the detailed steps, makes it so much easier to replicate 🙂

Patched and fixed for bbPress 2.6 via https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2593

What wordpress theme are you using?

[dustinarmstrong]

I just ran through and did a brand new install of WordPress with Twenty Fourteen as the theme, only plugins are bbPress and BuddyPress. It appears to have worked. I wiped the plugins, and tried again with no luck. Here’s a rundown of my process:

Permalinks set to postname.

bbPress installed first, forum root url set to ‘sound-off-forums’, saved. All other settings left default.

Page created with slug ‘sound-off-forums’, page works, shows forums as expected.

BuddyPress installed, default configuration left alone. ‘http://example.com/sound-off-forums’ fails to load, showing a 404 page.

I have no idea. It sounds like I’ll likely need to scrub the DB any trace of bbpress and buddypress from my environment and start over. Thanks for the help with everything. It must have just been an installation error.

[Stephen Edgar]

A clean install breaks it again. I’m not sure what it is that out-of-the-box would break it like that, but it appears there is a conflict between BuddyPress 2.0 and bbPress 2.5.3.

This is extremely rare, not saying it can’t happen, the fact that BuddyPress uses bbPress for forums 99% of the time the BuddyPress developers will have bbPress enabled. I have BuddyPress enabled for ~75% of the time and typically only deactivate it when working on bbPress profiles. In short we usually catch any conflicts ourselves before releasing a new version of either plugin.

Also the fact that I have both plugins activated now using the same slugs you are trying to use and don’t get that error eliminates the plugins having a conflict as the issue in this case.

Can you spin up an entirely fresh WordPress install with just bbPress and BuddyPress and use the Twenty Fourteen theme and see if the issue still occurs.

I just went trawling through the raw database options for WordPress in wp_options trying to find something that may cause the conflict and couldn’t find anything of interest.

[Stephen Edgar]

Oh… Maybe try this before you go any further as I am sure this is just a slug conflict somewhere…

It could be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.

[dustinarmstrong]

Alright. Let me run through this one more time to see if I’m overlooking something. My real world scenario uses the page http://example.com/sound-off-forum as the page I want to use from wordpress. The slug is set to sound-off-forum, as that is the url I’d like to use, and each is the desired url for my forum.

Page is visible here: https://i.imgur.com/Eiz8xyL.png
Admin panel view: https://i.imgur.com/DL3MXzj.png

I then set the forum root to “sound-off-forum” and get this result

bbPress Error: https://i.imgur.com/rp7yLGF.png
http://example.com/sound-off-forum page no longer working: http://imgur.com/3b314S3

[Stephen Edgar]

Throughout WordPress and bbPress and BuddyPress included having posts, pages, terms can NOT have the same slug, most likely you have something else either titled or using the slug discuss and this includes any items in trash as even though they are in the trash they still reserve that slug and it is not released until the item is removed from the trash.

I cant seem to find an error for the term “Possible BuddyPress Conflict”, where are you seeing this error?
