I was directed to this topic when I asked about the particular features this customization was said to have solved. I too have also tried to follow the directions and entered the codes from this post, but to no avail. I get the same crashed website.

Here’s where I put each peace of code. Maybe someone can point out where I went all wrong.

http://pastebin.com/GLhCHYze – I put this in my functions.php file.

http://pastebin.com/8K0pkKs5 – I put this in my theme’s bbpress/loop-single-forum.php file.

http://pastebin.com/FGptZmiQ – I put this in my theme’s bbpress/loop-single-topic.php file.

As someone mentioned, The creator of this code seems to have a stand alone version of bbpress instead of the plugin type that I use with Buddypress. Perhaps this is why it hasn’t worked for a few folks. I’d be interested to hear from someone that has Buddypress installed on their copy of wordpress and have successfully been able to make the customization work for them in their template files. If we could hear how they went about installing the code, it might help out some that might be stuck.

Many thanks in advance! 🙂

Hi Stephen

I have done the exact same thing as you suggested above.

However it doesn’t seem to be overriding the settings?
It still appears as “Oh Bother!” I actually tried removing this line all together but it didn’t work.

Do you have any suggestions?

Hello all,

On my website i’m trying to use the wp-editor as editor for my bbpress forum (always latest stable version). I use the same code as I use for my WP comments section (to keep the appearances the same).

The code I use does show the tinymce, doesn’t “parse” the content though (with an “ERROR: Your reply cannot be empty” as result.

My guess is that I haven’t found the right parameters (***) in the wp_editor function. Help is much appreciated.

Regards.

Marc

 
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );
function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args ) {
	wp_editor( '****', '****', array(
		'media_buttons' => true, // show insert/upload button(s) to users with permission
		'textarea_rows' => '10', // re-size text area
		'dfw' => false, // replace the default full screen with DFW (WordPress 3.4+)
		'tinymce' => array(
        	'theme_advanced_buttons1' => 'bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,bullist,numlist,code,blockquote,link,unlink,outdent,indent,|,undo,redo,fullscreen',
	        'theme_advanced_buttons2' => '', // 2nd row, if needed
        	'theme_advanced_buttons3' => '', // 3rd row, if needed
        	'theme_advanced_buttons4' => '' // 4th row, if needed
  	  	),
		'quicktags' => array(
 	       'buttons' => 'strong,em,link,block,del,ins,img,ul,ol,li,code,close'
	    )
	) );
}

Can this bbpress Layout still be used?…or would there be issues with latest version of bbpress & wordpress?

Please reply…thanks.

[Stephen Edgar]

You shouldn’t be seeing this, I just tried to reproduce this and can’t.

The repair tool ‘Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum’ explicitly does the repair on this when things get out of sync.

We’ve been tweaking this particular section of bbPress for the next release and I have been up to my eyeballs in this particular piece of bbPress :O

So speaking of ticket #1925 I have to have another look in the next few days in regard to imported topics and replies and I will see if I can find anything related to your issue whilst I’m at it.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2506 Add subscription to category or entire forum

[JuanISar]

I did not explain myself sufficiently.The import was fine, the issue appeared when I edited topic and replies from WordPress. It appears that the forum is showing the freshness based on the date of editing, not the date of last reply, i.e. much more recently (days vs. months).

[Stephen Edgar]

I am pretty sure this is NOT a PHP issue, WordPress only requires PHP v5.2.4 or above and bbPress follows WordPress’ requirements.

As to future versions of PHP v5.4 & v5.5 are supported and the only known issue I know of at the moment is a MySQL warning with PHP v5.5.

I am still not sure what the issue actually is but I follow it up further with you on the other thread where I have already written a reply.

[Stephen Edgar]

We have I think patched this issue for bbPress 2.5.3

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2492
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5238

[Stephen Edgar]

Give this plugin a try 🙂

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress2-shortcode-whitelist/

This plugin is designed to safely allow bbcode shortcodes and other safe shortcodes to be embedded in bbpress topics and replies and also blog comments. You don’t wan’t users entering shortcodes such as [bbp-login] in the middle of their reply.

[Stephen Edgar]

I am getting a 500 Server error when I try to view page 10 of the replies. What is interesting is that I can see those replies in the forum and I can edit them there. I just can’t get into that one page of replies in the dashboard. I tried the forum repair tools with no luck. I am not sure if this is a big issue that I need to worry about? Any idea what this is?

That’s an odd one that I haven’t seen before, most likely it is an issue with a posts title somehow causing the rendering of the list to throw an error. Does going to page 11 work?

Do you think it is worthwhile to use the “kill all forums” and start again with the “all” export/import?

I’s probably suggest pausing your current work so you don’t lose what you have done thus far.

I would suggest you install another copy of WordPress either locally or on your web host using a backup copy of your current database, nuke those forums and try the exporting/importing everything scenario using the ‘All content’. If that works repeat the same for your primary site, if that doesn’t continue from where you left off.

I had hoped this would go easier but I would not recommend this to anyone who is considering moving a forum to another WP installation.

I agree it would be nicer when things ‘just work’ and I think the vast majority of the time it does, but when it doesn’t it is not the best experience going around. 🙁

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks for all the reports and not as I hoped in that it doesn’t look like there is a common denominator between you all except to say you all use WordPress & bbPress 🙁

I still can’t reproduce the error and share your frustration and we’ll keep trying to find this nasty little bug and get it fixed 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

From what I can see if you use just ‘ar’ it should work for both as per https://ar.wordpress.org/

Try contacting the Arabic translation via https://ar.wordpress.org/contact/

You could also ask the question on https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/

[Stephen Edgar]

Wooo… Hang on a second… Why are you using the ‘unsupported’ old bbPress v1.x? (This was retired ~2 years ago)

And to quote you “I know this is going to sound defeatist and lazy but I simply cannot believe that in this day and age of automation that BBP makes you have to do all of this technical stuff.”

You should be installing WordPress and using the bbPress v2.x Plugin and that IS supported and instructions I gave were for the bbPress 2.x plugin.

The extra info I had in my original reply was for ‘if’ you wanted to add some extra styling by adding the thumbnail pics of the YouTube videos as custom images to your topic descriptions. It was meant to just be a pointer that ‘if’ you wanted this type of look for your forums ‘it’ could be done with some custom customizations.

[Stephen Edgar]

The ONLY thing you need to do is make sure embeds are turned on for bbPress, that’s it and it is I believe enabled by default (I thought there was a setting in WordPress for this but the setting was removed and is enabled by default)

Essentially you shouldn’t have had to do anything, just post a YouTube link in a topic or reply in your forum and it should work as you expect it should.

[Stephen Edgar]

Here’s the permalink to the translation ‘Search’ in GlotPress for English Australian.

If you click ‘Details’ (you might have to be logged in) you will see each place ‘Search’ is listed for translation, one of those is templates/default/bbpress/form-search.php:17 and that is the one you are looking for.

[baylock]

Thank you for your answer.

Well, I must insist:
If ‘ar’ is used, only BBpress is in arabic and if ‘ar_AR’ is used, only WordPress is in arabic.

What you point out may be so in writing but pointing it out will not change the fact that it’s not working in real life.
It’s quick and easy to verify and the marge of error of doing it wrong is very small.
So, I’m quite positive.

So, what are my options then?

Thank you for your help.

WordPress: 3.8 bbPress: 2.5.2 website: http://nacbrewclub.com

When I (or any of the members of this site) hit “edit profile” we see a page like this..

with just a list of all the user info and no way to actually edit any of it.

tried adding “User Role Editor” but it had no affect.

I would really like to turn off the WordPress user option but I’m using Woo Commerce to sell memberships to participate on the forum (and a few other things) so i don’t think that is an option.

I can supply some log-in info if anyone needs it to help.

Thanks,

Jimmy

Hi – thanks for your reply. I know this is going to sound defeatist and lazy but I simply cannot believe that in this day and age of automation that BBP makes you have to do all of this technical stuff.

I run a blog for my client that you can see here on non-hosted WP. They’re very happy with it:

http://hissign.wordpress.com/

You’ll see in the blog that it’s so easy for me to just plug a YTV video in there. So now my client wants a forum where they can allow others to post a wide variety of YouTube videos presented in ASL (like the example in the first post). But what’s mind blowing to me is when I set up BBPress, I’m amazed that this feature of embed is not right there and ready to go; but instead, I have to tweak and do all kinds of complex stuff like adding codes and stuff. Wow.

I chose WP because the blog (not the forum) does all of this for you conveniently so I can do my job of publishing and not have to worry or figure out all of these codes and stuff. Why in the world would bbPress be completely different.

Anyway, thanks for your help and I’m not really sure what to do at this point about my client’s forum needs.

Hey,

I use some other plugins providing shortcodes. The work fine on every page, but not in topics or response of the bbpress forum.

For example this progress bar plugin
http://wordpress.org/plugins/progress-bar/

How can I add the function that the shortcodes will work in bbpress forums?

Thanks for your help!

[kj24]

Here’s my setup:

Wordpress version: 3.8
bbPress version: 2.5.2
Operating system: Linux (Debian 6 32bits)
Web server: Nginx
Notable plugins: buddypress, jetpack, GD bbPress Tools, Platinum SEO Pack, WPBase-Cache

[synergywp]

So, I went in to the DB and changed my s15:”bbp_participant” to s13:”bbp_keymaster” and can now see everything again.

So, somehow the role still existed, though wasn’t able to be seen by User Role Editor plugin or the rest of WordPress.

I hope that helps @jjj
