Hi!

I noticed a strange behaviour in the freshness column for the latest post link – sometimes it is
/forum/topic/topicname/page/2/#post-391430
but sometimes it’s just
/forum/topic/topicname/#post-391523

In first case, the link takes me to the latest post, in second case the link just leads to the first page of discussion, even though there are 440 pages! This really bugs my users and I can’t seem to find the solution. Every bit of advice is helpful!

I use WordPress 3.6 and bbPress 2.4. The problem can be seen at http://www.kilb.ee/foorum/sisu/mnemomaraton/mnemomaraton-2/ (in the rightmost column) and it also occurs with TwentyEleven theme.

Hello,

I have a website which I have added the bbpress plugin too (wordpress).

The website is split into three areas which are completely unrelated.

1. An info site
2. Forum 1
3. Forum 2

Forum one is done.

Now I need to add a second forum with completely different catagories of topics etc.

How can I achieve this with BB press. Each ‘main forum’ has about 30 forum catagories under them but both main forums are completely unrelated. Both forums have the same logins for users.

Any help would be amazing.

It is 3 years later and I am having the same issue. My entire wordpress system is set up with emails as the usernames.

You mentioned you found a workaround or figured it out. how did you do it?

The bbpress user profiles show the email address in the url and I was trying to get bbpress to use something else like display name or nickname instead.

Is there a way to do it?

Thanks

Forgive me, I am a little new to WordPress. I tried to look for /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress, but don’t know where to look for this Auto-Role string. The option IS enabled under the settings menu.

I did, however, make some other discoveries:

1) Auto role is still working for some users that sign-up for the site, but not others. Can’t seem to figure out the common element for those instances where it works/doesn’t work.

2) Auto role seems to work for everyone once I deactivate my Register Plus Redux plugin (v3.9.10).

It is worth noting that there was no issue with Auto Role between Register Plus Redux v3.9.10 and bbPress v2.3.2. The issue only cropped-up after upgrading to bbPress v2.4

Any help that you can provide would be appreciated as I would really like to keep using Register Plus Redux.

Hello everyone!

I have a problem.
I have just moved my WordPress website from an ISP to another ISP.
But, I have a problem!
After moving the website I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bbp_get_topic_post_type() in /home/wdele/domains/carafec.nl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbpress.php on line 571

I have bbPress installed. Does someone have an idea how to fix this?
I would be very thankful!

Thank you in advance.

Have a good day,
William

Sorry, I figured it out. The path was actually fine. Please ignore.

[vtroia]

I apologize in advance if this seems like a duplicate. I’ve read a number of posts on properly creating a BBPress theme, but my CSS refuses to load. Here is how I have things setup.

wp-content/
++++ main-theme-child/
++++ +++ bbpress.php
++++ +++ bbpress-functions.php
++++ +++ bbpress/ <- contains all of the files from the default theme.
++++ +++ css/bbpress.css

For whatever reason, the css won’t load. Any thoughts?

I would love to have an @mention autosuggest feature in the topic reply/create textarea. You probably know how this would work but quickly, when you type ‘@’ it would create a popup of the names of users and filters based on the characters after the ‘@’. Maybe it doesn’t even spawn until you have typed in at least a character or two.

There is a BuddyPress plugin that does exactly this: BP Labs. But it does not extend to the BBPress forums.

Is there anything like this out there that I’m missing?

Hi Stephan thanks for your interesting, i have find the patch https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/2319/2319.patch and go to modify this file.. Thankyou…

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks, I can reproduce this also, I have created a ticket in Trac for this https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2408

[Stephen Edgar]

The final version should be ready for bbPress 2.5 in ~8 weeks (10/29/13 14:00:00)

I have not started on the passwords as these are hard and I have to do them for most of the new importers so I will get started on these next week I hope.

We are importing Email, URL, AIM & Yahoo into the default WordPress user profile and importing SMF’s ICQ, MSN, Signature, Avatar (link only), Location & Personal Text values and storing them in WordPress wp_usermeta table so this can be later imported/manipulated into any custom WordPress profile plugin like BuddyPress, this is not automated in any way though.

[Stephen Edgar]

@dallisonlee I have replied to you here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-editorial-calendar/

@jgasparine ‘Auto role’ appears to be working for me, can you check that it is enabled via /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress

@nykess Thanks, I linked to the widget issue in my previous post above. The user Gravatar are still using 80×80 Gravatars and has not changed, the line break between the username and forum role has also not changed. How have you customized your theme? It sounds like the either the bbPress or a theme update has overridden your customizations. Can you start a new topic and give some more detailed information on each of these. You can also download all previous versions from https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/developers/

[Stephen Edgar]

Is this the one? https://wordpress.org/plugins/editorial-calendar/

Ahhh, Yes,https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editorial-calendar-conflicting-with-bbpress-plugin

That said, I can deactivate and activate either plugin and everything works as expected.

Any chance it is another plugin?

[Stephen Edgar]

@sam-rohn I hadn’t seen ‘Tehnik-bbPress-Permissions’ before so I’ll take a look at that.

@la_chouette Open /wp-admin/users.php and check the forum role assigned to each user affected. What happens if you change the user back to ‘Participant’? Can they post now? What happens if you now change them back to ‘Moderator’? Can they post now?

@freewpress Thanks, I can also reproduce this and looks like ticket #2319 didn’t quite fix the ‘Widget settings won’t save’, will try to get a patch in for bbPress 2.4.1.

@alex-ye https://bbpress.org/download/ updated, thanks.

@logicbit Can you try disabling all your other plugins and see if bbPress works if it is the ONLY plugin activated. If you can then re-enable each other plugin you have it might narrow down what the conflict is.

[Nick Galgay]

Hello I am running the latest version of wordpress and bbpress, I am new to both of the aforementioned products. I have added a header link to my site that looks like

<?php if (is_page(‘Forums’)) { echo ” class=\”current_page_item\””; } ?>

That code works everywhere on my site except for bbpress. Can someone please tell me how to set my header link, and keep it, in the active state when on the forums? I’ve looked on this site and searched google to no avail.

Thanks alot.

[Rachel Biel]

Deleting bbpress and then adding it as a new plugin seems to have fixed the problems…

[Rachel Biel]

Same thing just happened to my site: http://www.tafaforum.com.

I’ve been trying to figure out what happened to the menu and thought I would come over here and see if anyone else had a problem… Only the Home and buddypress pages are working. The rest are all getting an error page notice.

[logicbit]

Installed latest from add new. Now website or admin panel does not load.
After clicking activate plugin this URL is displayed and hangs. Nothing but a white screen.
http://houdiniesq.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?activate=true&plugin_status=all&paged=1&s=

Had to remove bbPress folder from plugin directory in order to get our site back up.
Tried manual install of plugin but same thing.
We are using the FLexForm by swiftIdes ver 1.5 theme which is great and works wonderfully.

How to fix.

Wordpress 3.6, using theme Twenty Eleven
BbPress 2.4 (Just updated this morning, though I had the problem with the previous version as well)
Only other active plugin: Error Log Dashboard Widget 1.0.2 (showing no PHP errors)
Several other plugins are installed, but deactivated while trying to debug this issue.

I have the following text on a single page:

Here is the shortcode for the single forum: [ bbp-single-forum id=39 ]

[bbp-single-forum id=39]

Here is the shortcode for all forums: [ bbp-forum-index ]

[bbp-forum-index]

The single forum does not display. The forum index does display. I have confirmed that the index is the correct number via the admin forum view. Here is a link to a screenshot. Here is the link from the forum page, showing the forum id: http://[domainremoved].org/wordpress/wp-admin/post.php?post=39&action=edit (Obviously, clicking it won’t work, because it requires a log-in, but this is to confirm that I’m finding the forum index correctly.)

Here is the forum: http://[domainremoved].org/forums/forum/pta-board/
Here is the page it is linked from, showing where the shortcodes do not work: http://[domainremoved].org/pta-board-2/
(Note: I have added spaces between the shortcodes so you can see the text that I used, then repeated the shortcodes without the spaces to display the forums.)

I feel like this should be some really simple user error, but given that I have double-checked the shortcode syntax and the forum id, deactivated all other plugins, and chosen the Twenty Eleven theme, I can’t figure out what it could be.

ETA: Wow, that was fast— my page got slammed with spam comments within minutes of posting the links here. I have removed them for now. If a support person needs them to diagnose the issue, I can give them out then.

[janhoos]

haha yea! So far for me, BBpress is a mixed bag. Its simple alright! You need to add in a lot of stuff to make it come near the other forum softwares. But the big advantage is the integration with WordPress <3

[kriskl]

After weeks trying to find something that would work, I found the code on wordpress forums to remove completely gravatars (and redirects it was causing.. )

here is it:

function bp_remove_gravatar ($image, $params, $item_id, $avatar_dir, $css_id, $html_width, $html_height, $avatar_folder_url, $avatar_folder_dir) {
	$default = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/images/mystery-man.jpg';
	if( $image && strpos( $image, "gravatar.com" ) ){ 
		return '<img src="' . $default . '" alt="avatar" />';
	} else {
		return $image;
	}
}
add_filter('bp_core_fetch_avatar', 'bp_remove_gravatar', 1, 9 );

function remove_gravatar ($avatar, $id_or_email, $size, $default, $alt) {
	$default = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/images/mystery-man.jpg';
	return "<img alt='{$alt}' src='{$default}' height='{$size}' width='{$size}' />";
}

add_filter('get_avatar', 'remove_gravatar', 1, 5);

function bp_remove_signup_gravatar ($image) {
	$default = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/images/mystery-man.jpg';
	if( $image && strpos( $image, "gravatar.com" ) ){ 
		return '<img src="' . $default . '" alt="avatar" width="60" height="60" />';
	} else {
		return $image;
	}

}
add_filter('bp_get_signup_avatar', 'bp_remove_signup_gravatar', 1, 1 );

As I am now planning to disable buddypress completely. I am looking for an easy way to let users upload their avatars in bbpress, anyone tried it already?

[Stephen Edgar]

I cannot reproduce the issue of missing bbPress wp-admin panels with any of these plugins: GD bbPress Attachments, GD bbPress Tools, GD bbPress Widgets, that’s not to say it isn’t happening. I will keep an eye on Milan Petrovic’s Twitter feed to see if he comes across any issues himself.

Permissions and caps with bbPress is a hard (for me anyway) to grasp at a code level, I do know that essentially bbPress is ahead of WordPress in some ways in this aspect and the fact that bbPress is built on top of WordPress this is going to constantly evolve. The ‘other’ forum packages that are available do have finer granular permissions but none of them integrate with WordPress the way bbPress does (I am up to my 27th forum converter now BTW).

These bits will come, hopefully sooner rather than later and the dev’s that contribute code for bbPress are acutely aware of this type of feature request and I am quite sure it is kept in their mind as code is written for anything for example as mentioned above ‘Per-forum moderation’ & ‘Forum subscriptions’ slated for bbPress 2.5, these two features alone make for a great start in getting more of the types of features you are referring to.

“bbPress is forum software with a twist, from the creators WordPress”

[Sam Rohn]

any specific info on bbpress 2.4 “Improved user capability integration” listed in the changelog ?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/changelog/

will it bring us any closer to being able to easily restrict access to specific forums and posts/replies contained therein to a specific user role without any 3rd party plugins or hacks, or might this new change break any existing methods of creating such per user role forums ?

thanks for the update, i will be installing on at least one site very soon 🙂
