So I’ve been trying to debug this problem for about a month and finally decided to try and get some extra help. Here’s a summary of what’s going on.

When a user clicks Edit, they are brought to a page that’s showing the excerpt for the reply, with a Continue Reading button. No editing can be done. Regular topics can be edited as expected, but replies are pulling from my post loop it seems.

Does anyone know where to begin looking for something like this? The theme’s creator is MIA (Huddle theme from Themeforest), and if I knew which files to begin digging through, I might be able to fix it on my own.

I’m using WordPress 3.7.1
I’m using BuddyPress 1.8.1
I’m using bbPress 2.4.1

I can provide more information upon request, would appreciate any help or general finger pointing to get me in the right direction. Thanks!

I had tried to post this last week with screenshots, but I think bbPress put it in the spam folder, so I’m trying again without the links to screenshots now.

Solved this with an extra link in the menu or in the admin bar if you use the plugin “Blue Admin”
https://wordpress.org/plugins/blue-admin/other_notes/

Instruction are here:

Menu link to Profile

[ronthai]

I just added to my menu all forum links from a user:
topics, replies, favorites, subscriptions, edit
all under 1 main “Your Forum Settings & Stats” Dropdown, but just call it anything you want.

Get the plugin “WP exec PHP” : https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-exec-php/
No security risk, since you can set the permission for who can add php to pages and such.

Create pages for any links to the profile you want and add the following REDIRECT with php-code in it (adjust to your own domain)

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://domain.com/forums/users/<?php global $current_user;
      get_currentuserinfo();

     echo  $current_user->user_login . "";
      
?>/edit/">

You could delay the refresh and add a little text to the page, or anything you want.

With many thanks to Diggories (above somewhere) for the php code to get the username in a URL

hi all

i need to know how to manipulate the post just before it is displayed on the page? do I use wordpress hooks for that (and if so does anybody know which one off by hand), or is there a bbpress hook that does that?

Here’s what the topic looks like: http://imm.io/1lH2h

Here’s what happens when I try to edit my first post / topic post: http://imm.io/1lH2t

Here’s what happens if I try to edit a reply: http://imm.io/1lH2y

The website is lootpalace.com – I’ve got a dev clone readily available for testing ideas out on.

With all due respect to the developers of bbPress and its plugins,

People, bbPress admins, should realize that bbPress is a plugin/add-on to WordPress and bbPress is ideal for adding a nice straight forward forum to your WP, what I am setting up now for myself for the first time next my WP.

I have extended experience with phpBB forum software.
Changes/addons like these is not what bbPress is intended for, in my humble opinion.
If you want all the extra’s and whistles, people should use phpBB, which also can be used next to WP. I believe WP has plugins for that and phpBB also supports it with MOD’s/plugins.

I’m using the Pagelines theme [before DMS] and they have a selector at the bottom of each page or post that you can select to make the page full width.

On forum pages, and individual threads, this option isn’t available. I know I can create a bbpress.php template which bbPress will look for, but I’m not sure how to deconstruct my theme, or set it up to be my default page, but minus the sidebar.

Help here would be much appreciated.

My page.php code doesn’t give me much indication as to how to craft this…

<?php

Hi

Having never used bbpress before and being relatively new to wordpress, I’m struggling to get the forums on my site up and running.

Having spent 3 hours today just looking for the ‘forums’ tab, I eventually worked out that the reason I couldn’t find it was because in the latest version of buddypress (or bbpress?) there is no ‘forums’ tab – it is named ‘Groups’ instead! It seems the documentation on here is outdated and this has caused me no end of agro today aggggh!

Now I finally worked that out, and the forums option magically somehow appeared in my individual ‘groups’, I’m now unable to make a post in any groups, even when logged in as a keymaster!

Can anyone help me with this? I don’t even know where to find up to date documentation for this plugin now, everything I’ve read is outdated and has confused me. Can anyone point me in the direction of a place to find documentation for bbpress 2.5.1, when running with buddypress 1.8.1 on wordpress 3.7.1? Or just help me to get these forums useable!

Also, is there a way to allow forum users to add photos to their posts?

Thanks

1. registering is for both
2. use a plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/register-plus-redux/

[Cars10]

John, why is WordPress.org more up2date with rev 2.5.1 than https://bbpress.org/download/ still stuck in 2.4 and 2.5 beta/dev?
I am confused…

Help! I’ve been at this for hours and am going out of my mind…

I have the latest of everything, bbpress, buddypress and have deactivated all plugins except for buddypress, bbpress, members and akismet. I actually even deleted and reinstalled buddypress, bbpress and members. I deactivated my theme and am using the default buddypress one.

The site is visually a mess: http://www.tafaforum.com/

I am the only one who can post on the forums. Everything was fine until yesterday when several plugins updated, including bbpress. I had also been mucking around with trying to get a tinymce plugin to work for the forums.

If I disable everything and just have bbpress, I can post (as a fake member). Add buddypress, and I get a “You cannot reply to this topic” message at the bottom.

I messed around with roles and have enabled everything possible that could contribute to this, but the one thing that I notice is that the members all have an author role for their wordpress roles (as I want them to post on our blog), and even though they all show participant for their forum roles on the Users Page, when I go into the settings for the roles, I only see the author role as having any users, not the participant one.

Yes, this could be a buddypress or members issue, but bbpress is the one that had the latest update, so I figure that the problem starts here. If not, please send me where I need to go….

[Stephen Edgar]

Use this plugin, it was updated today to also support the new forum subscriptions 🙂

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-custom-reply-notifications/

[Toxed2loss]

I’m running wordpress 3.7.1, using Twenty-twelve, and Bbpress 2.5.1.have my site is http://www.theholisticchatterbox.com If you go to this page and click on any of the “recent Reply” links, it will take you to the first page of the replies. You have to click on the page numbers above to get to the last page. It started doing this after the last update. How can I fix it? I’ve looked in the widget & appearance menus. I’ve removed it and reinstalled it. Please help?

[jswartzendruber]

Hi 3tonine/Rachel – As a followup, make sure to have the latest version of the bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab plugin. I’m using WP 3.7.1, bbPress 2.5.1 with TinyMCE Advanced 3.5.9. I had to use bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab 1.0.1 in order for it work properly, and this doesn’t appear to be available yet from the WordPress Plugin Directory.

More info: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-in-bbpress-24

Regardless, thanks for the pointers to all the bits/bobs, once I got the correct versions it works great.

Hi

I’m trying to set my forum so that a non-member can view the list of topics in a forum but when they click on a topic to read it they get a message telling them they must be logged in to view the topic.

This bbPress forum does exactly what I’m trying to achieve.

I can hide the forums entirely using this code, but I want to show a list of topics to non-members but not allow them to view the content of the topic.

Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

Hey everyone. I’m new to BBPress and I may not be understanding portions of it correctly.

1. If someone registers for my wordpress website and sign in can they automatically start posting to my bbpress forums? (Do they then have a forum membership too?)

2. Currently the registration is as follows: user inputs username and email and then the password is sent to them via email which they have to reset… How can I build a custom registration form for my wordpress/bbpress site and forums that looks more like http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/register.php where the user can specify their password, agree to terms, etc? (I guess this also depends on if registering for wordpress or bbpress registers for each other as well)

The site I’m building right now is http:/www.thenextarpg.com with the Avada wordpress template.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks guys

[AkhilAniyan]

Check my sites:

http://www.sparkyhub.com/
http://www.androidizer.com/
http://www.designerbrave.com/

All are my sites and WordPress based. Because of this one error, all the sites are offline:-(

My hosing is Linux. Can you please tell me more about the tools?

[FreeWPress]

Have you recently update wordpress or other plugin and after you receive this error?
I think is not bbpress related..

Hi there

Using bbPress Version 2.3.2
We’ve got Premise member access module installed. It manages access to posts by adding meta tags to the wp_postmeta table. We then check member access levels against these meta tags to see if the user can access a post.

We also use these member access levels to restrict access to our forums. Unfortunately the member access tags are only added to the forum categories and parents, and not to the individual replies and posts.

This means that restricted posts turn up in search results, and have to be excluded by checking the user access level against that of the forum category or parent.

I’ve managed to exclude the posts from the search results, by adding the following lines of code I found in these forums to the loop in loop-search.php just before get_template_part is called:

$parent = array_reverse(get_post_ancestors($post->ID)); // get an array of all the parent pages in order from most distant to closest.
$first_parent = get_page($parent[0]); //get the first page in the array, which is the most distant parent
$int = apply_filters(‘the_ID’, $first_parent->ID); //filter the $first_parent to get only the wordpress page/post ID, which is an integer like 49 or 565. store it as a variable $int
//Skip post if user can't access it.
if (!IQS_can_user_access_post($int)) {
continue;
}

This code works, however the pagination results still show for all the excluded posts.

I’ve been trying to figure out how to modify the bbpress()->search_query results but I’m not very good with PHP.

Any advice on how I can exclude posts from a search query or fix my pagination?

Hi,

I got version 2.5.0 and could update and should.
I made some little changes in design, css and a few templates.

I looked at this page: http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches#2.5
and if I understand correctly, only the bbpress.php has changed (and readme.txt).
Would it be enough to just download that file and replace it or must it be done the official way, by installed plugins/update?

Regards, Ron

[Stephen Edgar]

can somebody tell me where to copy the template files so I can customize bbpress. the information here

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

As to extending profile information take a look at how the ‘signature’ is implemented in GD bbPress Tools as a good starting point.

[Stephen Edgar]

Here are some themes in the WordPress Theme repo that specifically include bbPress out of the box.

• https://wordpress.org/themes/lobster
• https://wordpress.org/themes/firmasite
• https://wordpress.org/themes/ward
• https://wordpress.org/themes/tonic
• https://wordpress.org/themes/wp-knowledge-base
• https://wordpress.org/themes/snowblind
• https://wordpress.org/themes/magazine-basic
• https://wordpress.org/themes/the-skeleton
• https://wordpress.org/themes/mesocolumn
• https://wordpress.org/themes/voyage
• https://wordpress.org/themes/suffusion

As others have already mentioned you can use any theme you want and typically it will just work and if you want to style up your forums to match your theme then you can do that do as per the links already mentioned above.

[Stephen Edgar]

FYI https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1958 Is where we are tracking and getting feedback on implementation, ideas, feedback and so forth for this feature in bbPress Core.

Hi all,

I am the author of the permissions plugin. Sorry for coming into the discussion this late in, but got the topic link from matrixino. I have not done much with bbPress (or WordPress) in a very long time (.NET shop), so please excuse while I refresh my memory.

I will look into this as soon as I can.
