So, I’ve added bbpress to quite a big WordPress site. While everything works fine and dandy for the admins, most (if not all) regular users aren’t able to view their profile page or edit their profile. I’ve changed all regular users to the “Participant” role, but it still simply returns a 404. Which capabilities do I need to add to the Participant to enable the profile?
Additionally, I’m generating the edit profile link like so:
`/forums/users/<?php wp_get_current_user()->user_login ?>
However, this feels a bit hacky and fragile – is there a better way?
WP 3.8, bbPress 2.5.1
Ok so I’m using buddypress, and as I understand it subscribers to my website have the comments, buddypress, and bbpress all connected. So if you upload a avatar for one it’ll be used for all. As I understand it being on wordpress for a month.
Is there a (simple noob) way or plugin to get options on avatar sizes? And somehow get it to work for buddypress, bbpress, and comments. Or at least bbpress.
In other words if users upload a square avatar it’ll be square in the comments, buddypress profile, and bbpress since they’re all connected. Or if they upload a long rectangular one it’ll be long and rectangular everywhere also. I can settle for square in the comments but I really want long ones in buddy and bbpress.
Or would I have to change the code in buddypress, and in bbpress, and somehow for the comments as I think I do. If thats the case I only ask for help with the bbpress since this is bbpress support.
I know how to change the avatar size in buddypress from this article (though I haven’t tried it yet, I like to gather information then potentially ruin my site afterwards). http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-change-the-default-buddypress-avatar-sizes/
Problem is I’m not sure if the cropping will still work if I change from square to rectangle as the cropping seems to only work in squares. So I found this article to deal with the cropping. http://offthewallmedia.com/programming/buddypress-crop-avatar-to-any-ratio Though I haven’t tested it yet.
So I just wanted to ask before I mess something up if there is a better way to accomplish all this or if there was a plugin or anything and if I change all these settings in buddypress would it be the same for bbpress andor the comments. Thanks for any help.
You probably want to look into WordPress’ ‘Conditional Tags’
https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags
And then a list of bbPress’ conditional tags https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-conditional-tags/
You can also go down the path of add Post Thumbnails to your forums and topics, not so much replies though unless you have some awesome templates 😉
There is some example code in this thread:
Add Featured Image to the BBpress Index
The creator/developer of bbPress or the Mods, can not help in translations, they just have to trust anybody whom submits a translation.
Kind of correct, all the translations are handled by the same translation process for WordPress
https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/
Using pt_BR as an example if you take a look at: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev
You will see that Portuguese (Brazil) is at 94% translated, 975 strings translated and 60 strings untranslated.
@tvieira If you open this link it shows you the 60 strings that have yet to be translated for bbPress. You can update these strings yourself and then contact the Brazilian translator team via one of these links to get these translations approved. Once approved they should then become available via WordPress’ automatic updates in the very near future.

I’m seeing the same issue with WP 3.8 and bbPress 2.5.1 when MemberDeck 1.2.1 is activated. I reached out to their developer and with debugging turned on the following error occurs with the bbp_setup_current_user function/hook:
The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init()
I see a ticket for this already filed with both bbPress and upstream in WordPress:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2412
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/24169
The dialog in bbPress for inserting a link into a post by default shows a search box and a list of existing content on the site.
I am using WooCommerce on the same WordPress installation as bbPress. The problem is that WooCommerce coupons use Pages. This means all of my coupons (often ones that are created for specific people or specific purposes) can be publicly displayed in this list.
I’ve edited my css to display: none; this section, but I’m not satisfied with this solution as it is still possible for someone to change the css and view these pages.
Is there a way I can disable this feature? How might I go about modifying the code to remove it?
Stephen, while I got your attention.
is there a hook to get access to bbpress posts as they are submitted into the database, similiar to wordpress hooks like wp_insert_post_data, where I can get access to the post body and alter it?
It was late last night and maybe I was seeing things, I have just tried to reproduce the issue and cannot.
The fix for this was Trac Ticket #2476 and in changeset r5187.
Can you check the contents of this file on your server please, it should match this file at Line #92
/includes/users/functions.php#L92
'url' => 'comment_author_url'
I am testing this now but I cannot reproduce it.
Do you the correct time zone +7UTC set in WordPress’ settings?
http://example.com/wp-admin/options-general.php
I still don’t see any “wrong” color links.
This is what I see (3 pages partial views)
1. after login: http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/5176/x9mb.jpg

Also, not sure if you intended, but the user/pwd you gave, gives access to the WordPress admin area as FULL Admin. I could create, delete anything.
how can i hide wordpress sidebar in bbpress forum.??
And how can i put profile image in members. ??
Thank you.
I have recently installed BBPress into my WordPress theme, and have been having a few problems with spam registrations. Basically people are creating accounts, and in their profile text the are adding links to external sites. I would like “nofollow” to be added to these links by default, though nothing I have found on this forum has worked. I have added various things to my functions.php file as instructed by people here – none have worked. Can anyone help with this?
This something we could look at implementing into the core of bbPress, could you create a ticket in Trac for this and we can take a closer look at the issue.
http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org (Use the same wordpress.org/bbpress.org username and password)
I would also like to hide the “/members” page form being publicly accessible – is this possible?
This part is BuddyPress 😉
I don’t know of any off the top of my head.
Have you tried searching for one?
https://bbpress.org/plugins/ or https://wordpress.org/plugins/
Can you please create a ticket on Trac for this please
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ (Use the same wordpress.org/bbpress.org username and password)
Thanks for the report and you are correct it should still be an accurate count after running the repair tool. Could you create a ticket n Trac for this and I’ll take a look and see if I can get it fixed for the next release.
http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org (Use the same wordpress.org/bbpress.org username and password)
We have an open ticket on Trac on what is and isn’t in the widgets and the potential option to merge everything into a single widget. If you have any additional thoughts not yet covered so far please feel free to add your own thoughts 🙂

That said one of the strings ‘You must be logged in to create new topics’ IS translated here so it might be the case of updating your translations.
Details to update your translations are here https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/
I would also look at the 115 of 1034 strings yet to be translated looking at the details here and get those translated and then contact your local Hebrew translation team via https://he.wordpress.org/contact/ to get the strings approved.
