@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.

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.

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.

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 🙂

Hi there. We’re working on a fix now, and it will be included in 2.4.1.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2405/

[Stephen Edgar]

@sadr Here are the BuddyPress 2.4 related tickets, you can also the commit log for ‘/includes/extend/buddypress/’ within bbPress.

“replacing comments with bbPress topics” is part of 2.5′s scope.

Where exactly did you hear about that?

[Anonymous User 5853594]

First of all, did you copy the extra Dutch language files for bbPress and BuddyPress? You need those in addition to the Dutch language files for WordPress itself.

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/ will point you in the right direction for making things work with bbPress. (I suggest that you take the “dev branch” for the files, as the other link is outdated.)
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/buddypress/dev points to the BuddyPress version of the language files.

If you’ve got those up and working, you should be able to use the Dutch settings… Although I don’t know if the plugin will enable you to switch languages for the bb’s, as I can’t find that they support them.

In ieder geval veel succes!

Hi guys,

On my site, bbPress and the “Recent Post” widget of my blog conflict. Could anyone please give me some clue to fix this?

Wordpress version:３.6
bbPress version: 2.3.2
My site:http://geekroo.com/site/forums

Please refer to the right sidebar and the footer on the page.

Cheers!

Hi

This is such a simple request so I’m probably being an idiot but I can’t find a clear answer anywhere!

I need to display the number of post a user has made on my forum

I am using the BBPress plugin for WordPress.

[capacitron]

I actually found an issue with the MyBB Forum Importer. Since MyBB allows and accepts Usernames with spaces in between words: i.e. “John Smith” and WordPress does not, WordPress is generating URL’s for those users as i.e. “John%20Smith” which produces a 404 and prevents editing of profiles and such. It is the very problem discussed in this BuddyPress topic: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/spaces-in-username-causing-problems/
Which was never resolved.
I’m currently searching for a quick SQL query where I can remove all the “%20″‘s occurring in those URL’s.

[Stephen Edgar]

Download and install the plugin from https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress 2.4 is not far away, download the release candidate from here:

bbPress 2.4 – Release Candidate 1

There was a lot of cool work done to make bbPress responsive as detailed
in Ticket #1933.

[Stephen Edgar]

Categories are currently only imported as a forum type and each of these can be changed in WP-admin forums panel.

Sub-forums in phpBB and bbPress are all just forums with a parent forum for the forum hierarchy, these can be changed re-ordered etc also in WP-admin forums panel.

Your forum title ‘Obutto’ is just a title name for the site, you can set the title of your WordPress site title in WP-admin.

Take a look at the GSoC project by @frederickding

It’s an update to the WXR importer, I haven’t tried/tested this yet to see what’s different or how well it works with bbPress, but it looks promising.

If you do give it a try I’d love to hear any feedback you have.

Hello,

I want to include WP template tags in bbPress templates and vice versa.

For example in user-profile.php in my bbPress template, I want to include <?php echo get_the_author_posts(); ?> (http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_author_posts), which is a WP template tag.

Similarly, for author.php in my WordPress template, I want to include topics started by the author.

I imagine I’d have to query the user, so is there a way of doing this?
