I have a breadcrumb plugin, it’s all working quite well other then one thing:

With the bbPress forum it shows my “Forums” slug twice. Both link to the Forums index page, but it’s weird to have it double it’s self. Any ideas? I don’t have this issue with the plugin on anything else.

Using latest of WP and bbP – website is http://www.novasev.com

I’m trying to figure out a few things – I’ve done a search and read through a couple dozen or so items without much luck.

I’d like to incorporate some more info into the bbPress user profiles – I know I can probably do this using the $curauth params but want to make sure. I also want to make authors/contributors/etc link to the bbPress profiles as well. Is there a quick piece of code I can use to do this within my WordPress theme files?

I have this function to return an author profile page when the name is clicked on:

function new_comment_author_profile_link(){

    /* Get the comment author information */
    global $comment;
    $comment_ID = $comment->user_id;
    $author = get_comment_author( $comment_ID );
    $url    = get_comment_author_url( $comment_ID );

    /* Return the default WordPress comment author link if comment author is not
    a registered user */
    if ($comment_ID == 0){
        if ( empty( $url ) || 'http://' == $url )
            $return = $author;
        else
            $return = "<a href='$url' rel='' class='author-url'>$author</a>";
    } else {
    /* Return the link to the comment author's profile page if otherwise */
        $return = '<a href="'.home_url().'/?author='.$comment_ID.'">'.$author.'</a>';
    }

    return $return;
}

Can I plug in some line/piece of code to direct it to the bbPress profile instead? If so, what piece?

Wordpress & bbPress are latest versions – website is http://www.novasev.com
Appreciate the feedback.

Wordpress Version 3.8.1
bbPress version – Version 2.5.3

It seems that I got the bbpress import from phpbb to work with all the topics and replies. The problem is that the users are imported wrong so the topics are credited to the wrong user. I went through other forums which said it was a WP United issue but I do not have this installed.

Please help. I see some suggestions of writing a MySQL query which I see are back from 2012 so they are not working for me. Any assistance would be appreciated.

@sooskriszta Well you asked for it, so I have just written a plugin that gives date and time instead of freshness.

@robin-w Awesome! Looking forward to seeing it on wordpress.org repo

Hi

I have roles setup in wordpress which i would like to display in the forums in place of the bbPress roles.

Or is there a way to create new bbPress roles with the titles I want then have the roles synchronized with wordpress?

eg.
Wordpress –> bbPress
Guest –> Guest
Builder –> Builder
Moderator –> Moderator
Admin –> Admin
Co-Owner –> Co-Owner
Owner –> Owner

Each role has different capabilities but i would like them to show as different roles on the forums as the titles link up to our small gaming server.

WordPress Version: 3.8.1
bbPress Version: 2.5.3-5249
BuddyPress Version: 1.9.2

hello everybody,
I’m trying to import my phpbb linked to wordpress with wp-united to bbpress.

first thing, is that I got some troubles to access to the bbpress menu from the wp-admin panel. (not visible and access denied) to solve this first issue, I had to install “user role editor” wordpress plugin and click on reset, right after. bbpress menu was well present.

After first import I noticed that some topics where started by Anonymous and after that all my topics where written by another user;… I finally understood the fun part.

In phpbb you have from id 3 to 51 robot crawler user…due to that, it’s not syncing well with wp_user…
I will try a manual fix tonight but if anybody already did the manip I’m ready for any extra info. (about attachement, mp,…etc,…)

cheers,

bbPress does perform some elaborate queries which can make things feel slow, especially on sites with many thousands of topics and replies. Installing a caching plugin for WordPress will help, as well as any general PHP performance tuning on the server side.

[Robin W]

Haven’t used this one, but it gets good reviews

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

[inspirationally]

ok, got it.
I was sorting the topics by number of replies with this:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Set Post Order In Admin
Version: 0.1
Plugin URI: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/336715/
Description: In Posts->Edit, display posts in title order.
Author: MichaelH
Author URI: https://codex.wordpress.org/User:MichaelH/MyPlugins
*/

function set_post_order_in_admin( $wp_query ) {
  if ( is_admin()) {

$wp_query->set( 'orderby', 'meta_value_num' );
$wp_query->set( 'meta_key', '_bbp_reply_count' );
    $wp_query->set( 'order', 'DESC' );
  
}}

add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'set_post_order_in_admin' );
?>

this seems to cause the replies not to be deleted, too, curiously.`

Any idea why this happens? And how to delete the orphan replies + postmeta.

[Robin W]

Ok, I think I understand

BBpress doesn’t have a “theme”, it uses your theme to get many of it’s display elements.

If you simply want to just use bbpress, then pick a wordpress theme, and off you go !

It’s only if you want to alter how bbpress forums look or behave that you need to copy files.

bbPress uses “templates” to order and decide what to show, and a bbpress.css file to style bbpress specific elements.

Therefore you should use a wordpress theme.

Within that wrodpress theem, you create a bbpress folder for any templates you want to alter, BUT only for those, so if you don’t want to alter, then you need do nothing.

If you wish to alter the bbpress.css, you’d create a css subfolder in your theme and copy the default bbpress.css into their and then alter it, or simply add styling to your themes style.css.

@rammoskostas
Can you explain exactly what you did to import and where you imported from and was it also bbpress, and confirm that you used wp export and wp import, and which versions of wordpress and bbpress you are using

[Robin W]

great, would be good to load it to wordpress

[Robin W]

Ok, so

1. Can you tell me what wordpress theme you’re using or post the url.
2. If I said “copy, rename and edit this xx.php file” would you be terrified ?

Hi,
The menu options Forums, Topics and Replies appear on some of my sites in a multisite install, but not all.

If I change this in bbpress.php:

'show_ui' => current_user_can( 'bbp_topics_admin' ),

to

'show_ui' => current_user_can( 'manage_options' ),

I can see the Topics menu. Same if I change the permissions for the Forums and Replies menu.
Why should it be that the Forums, Topics and Replies menus are showing in some of my sites, but not others? I am administrator and keyholder in all of my sites.

I am using WordPress 3.8.1 and Buddypress 1.9.1 and I’ve set up bbPress for Sitewide and Group forums.

[rammoskostas]

I Have the same problem in wordpress

[Robin W]

hmmm… not sure you’re going to achieve this without some major coding and probably wordpress rather than bbpress related for sign in part.

maybe try

http://jobs.wordpress.net/

You can post a ‘project’ on there and someone will offer to do it for you

Hello,

I have been searching for something very similar. The “plugin author” label on all the plugin pages on wordpress.org is what I am after. The “plugin contributor” option too would be useful. Although I don’t want the text as it is, but this ability to label to indicate the users importance within a forum is essential to my project. My issue is that they Keymaster, participant, ect ect labels are useless as the forum master wont have any moderation/admin capabilities. So i need to be able to select a user to have a custom label like “offical representative”. I was looking at the code above, but I’m not sure if it would work as I need, and across a multisite install.

I guess I am asking the same question, but is there a plugin that can allow a user to be given a unique label in the forum per site?

Thanks in advance for any responce

Hello everyone

Sorry for asking a simple question, but i have just spent an hour figuring out how to increase the font-size in the html text editor. That is, the one we use to make replies or post topics. I don’t think it is related, but the font size is also very small when I submit a quick message on the Activity page in BuddyPress, ut just saying if somebody knows something about it.

I am using WordPress 3.8.1, Fruitful theme and WP USer frontend. The font size is small only on the Activity page in BuddyPRess and in bbpress. The comment section and WP user frontend seem to work fine picking up the 14px font size from my theme. To remind you, I am talking about the html editor, not the visual editor (which doesn’t even show up in topic/reply fields, I believe)

Thank you in advance!

Hi all.

What can be done to get bbpress page load faster ? What are best practices ? Is there a tutorial I have missed ?

It appears as if I have a redirection-problem, where my browser is stalling ?
Is there still a gravatar-issue where I have to remove some code for speed optimization ?
What ressources can be cached with htaccess or otherwise ?
And so on …. ?

BBpress is really looking better and better and the bbpress-for-wordpress-comments in 2.6 feature would be quite a fix for wordpress which doesnt even have an edit feature for commenteers. I like how things have gone so far. But seriously – SPEED, SPEED, SPEED.

I am definately no coder just an annoying end-user. But it is simply not decent for such a relatively simple set of functionalities to be so slow as it appears to me. I simply cannot annoy forum members with such page loads and also making wordpress load slower with bbpress installed.

What is a boy to do if he really would like to use bbpress ?

Thanks for anything.

[Robin W]

‘I have probably checked 100 times if this is ticked’

Thanks, but always worth asking.

‘This is the default bbPress theme. ‘

No I meant the wordpress theme you are using. switch to one such as twenty eleven to see if that makes a difference

[rumbu]

Hello Robin,

I’m missing this toolbar:

it’s not available on my site:

I have the newest versions of WordPress and bbPress and have done this steps to fix this problem but nothing happened:

I have deleted every JavaScript and tested it. Nothing!
I deleted the code of the function.php. Nothing!
I deactivated every plug-in. Nothing!
…and the CSS can’t be the fault because the toolbar is not disabled. It’s not there.

I opened my forum for guests and created a test forum. Now you can take a look on it: http://plusthemes.de/forum/test

Thank you so much for your answer. I try to give as much information as possible. 🙂

That function calls wp_get_current_user() so it might be related to the $current_user global. WordPress’s get_currentuserinfo() function calls wp_set_current_user() which overrides the global with fresh data.

It’s plausible some other plugin is loading the current user too early, or that it’s trying to initialize WordPress more than once via a subsequent call to $wp->init().

It’s unlikely that bbPress is directly causing this, as bbPress doesn’t do any of the above things on its own. It does however reference currently logged in user data quite liberally using WordPress’s built in API functions, so it’s not entirely impossible.

Keep us posted, and we’ll try to help out where we can.
