Sign-ups are disabled here. They come in via WordPress.org, and having no role here yet, they post, and Akismet seems to miss a bunch of them in waves.

bbpress roles are automatically assigned to new users as set in bbpress settings, after a new user has been added you can then change that users role via dropdown menu near the bottom of either the wordpress profile or bbpress profile page

[tye]

I don’t have the roles when adding a user form within the wordpress admin (I need this)

But I do have the roles at the very bottom of the page when editing a user.

No plugins that modify user roles or permissions, Version 3.5.1

[vulneratum]

WordPress 3.5.1
Buddypress Version 1.6.4
Bbpress Version 2.3-beta2

I’ve looked around for a while but I can’t seem to find a fix. After installing bbpress Version 2.3 beta2, anyone who is not logged in cannot see the first post of any thread.

I’ve already gone through and tested by deactivating every one of my plugins with the exception of buddypress.

Any suggestions…

When on the front end and viewing a form you have a Home->forms->form name if I click on forms, i get otice: Undefined index: feeds in /var/www/wordpress/wp-includes/link-template.php on line 871

I am making my own theme, It is compatible with bbpress and I have NO other plugins. any ideas?

I only have one form btw.

Do you have any plugins that modify user roles or permissions in WordPress?

[sontru]

Not just this site but also the WordPress.org forums… I wonder what they have in common? 😉

I see spam as I post!

[Sam Rohn]

just out of curiosity, does bbpress.org run anything like Wanguard, Stop Spammer Registrations Plugin, etc to deal w the bots that flood this site 4 times a day ?

i use wanguard on my much smaller bbpress site and it does an excellent job of keeping bots out, but i know this site sees way more traffic than mine…

Ok I managed to move a step forward, it seems on Media Temple you need to select their DB host. Anyway, now I get this one:

WordPress database error: [Table ‘db9999_DBNAME.bb_members’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT convert(members.member_id USING “utf8”) AS member_id,convert(members.members_pass_hash USING “utf8”) AS members_pass_hash,convert(members.members_pass_salt USING “utf8”) AS members_pass_salt,convert(members.name USING “utf8”) AS name,convert(members.email USING “utf8”) AS email,convert(members.joined USING “utf8”) AS joined FROM bb_members AS members LIMIT 0, 100

any clues?

If you are using the patch in #1933 and you have any comments add them directly to the ticket using your same bbpress.org user/pass to login).

Avatar uploads are at this stage in plugin territory and there a few already that should work fine with bbPress.

The ‘Freshness’ issue has been fixed in the latest version

Hi @joshua_ryan

unfortunatelly wordpress is not a good cms to manage users… i was in joomla a decided to move to wordpress… not a good move…

 

i didn´t solve the badges problem for bbpress…

[Stephen Edgar]

This is being worked on for bbPress 2.4 and there is already a work in progress patch

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1933

[Stephen Edgar]

First up presuming things might be easier than what is to follow, can you try again and fingers crossed in hope that error message was telling you the truth “… try again at a later time.” 😉

I am pretty sure if it fails it will be around 600 seconds as there is a `set_time_limit` value of 600 set in /bb-admin/includes/functions.bb-upgrade.php.

You could try to increase this value and if that works then we can skip all the direct MySQL hacking that will follow in the next posts…

WordPress version: 3.5.1
bbpress version: 2.2.4
http://cchfh.org/test

I created a user role called Board using “members” plugin and assigned all roles shown here for participant (http://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/#participant)

I set the WordPress General settings, New User Default Role, to Board.

I set the Default role for the Forum to Participant.

I created a test user account which is set to Board and Participant. When I login with that account and go to the test page the forum doesn’t show up. But it does show up with my Admin role account.

What am I doing wrong?

[AllenPayne]

Well here’s what i’m trying to do..

I want to show an images below usernames in my bbpress forums, based on the WordPress role of each forum poster.

Here’s what i figured out so far:

– I found out that i need to edit loop-single-reply.php to show something under username.
– I figured out (i think :P) that bp_get_reply_author_id() is the string that gets the details of the bbpress poster.

Now here’s what i got so far:

global $current_user;
bp_get_reply_author_id();
switch (true) {
case ( user_can( $current_user, “subscriber”) ):
echo ‘image’;
break;
case ( user_can( $current_user, “contributor”) ):
echo ‘image’;
break;
case ( user_can( $current_user, “administrator”) ):
echo ‘image’;
break;
}

My code doesn’t work. I cannot get it to show an image based on the WP role (not bbpress) of the user. Can anyone help?

s2member works great w bbpress, it is the only wordpress membership plugin i could find that supports both paypal subscriptions & wordpress user roles, and works well with plugins like user role editor and justin tadlocks’s members which allow assigning custom capabilities to wordpress user roles

You can use the following three filters:

bbp_get_forum_class
bbp_get_topic_class
bbp_get_reply_class

Each of them function exactly like the core WordPress post_class filter: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/post_class

I have a responsive theme, as you can see i have trouble with bbpress font-size responding to width of window.
when u make the width of the window smaller, the “topics” “post” “freshness” gets jumbled all together.

how can i change the font-size to respond to change of width of window?

Hello

We’ve been using bbpress almost since the beginning, and we currently have a quite big forum.

Site is this http://iphonefan.com forum is here http://iphonefan.com/foro as you can see it’s also quite modded and customized.

So upgrading was not something we did frequently, but a recent necessary php and mysql upgrade forced us to upgrade our wordpress and bbpress. WordPress upgrade went ok, but bbpress was a problem since we just learned it moved from being a standalone version to a plugin version.

Since the problem we had was the the recent php and mysql brought some error like these:

`Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/ifans/public_html/foro/bb-settings.php on line 186

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/ifans/public_html/foro/bb-includes/backpress/functions.wp-object-cache.php on line 108

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/ifans/public_html/foro/bb-includes/backpress/pomo/mo.php on line 171

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/ifans/public_html/foro/bb-includes/functions.bb-l10n.php on line 484

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/ifans/public_html/foro/bb-includes/backpress/class.wp-taxonomy.php on line 581`

Import from 1.0.2 (our latest forum version) to latest bbpress was a nightmare (duplicated forums, topics, posts. Stalled conversions and so on). So looking for advice here ate bbpress forums found that it could be easier if I upgraded first from 1.0.2 to 1.2. I downloaded the legacy version, the backpress files (whatever they were) and the “pomo” folder (also don’t know what it is).

We decided to try to upgrade to 1.2 as suggested. Everything went fine, uploaded files helped, the errors didn’t show in this version, next step was going to the admin panel and upgrade the database, clicked the “upgrade database” button and then another error.

`Network Error (tcp_error)

A communication error occurred: “Operation timed out”
The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.

For assistance, contact your network support team.`

I can’t tell what’s happening, I’ve tried to increase the maximum execution time, the php memory, nothing worked so far.

What can I do? how can I upgrade the database without this timeout error? is it possible to do it through shell? Is a setting I need to move in my server?

Please help!

Hi,

I’m having some troubles to customize bbpress to my specific theme.
I really don’t have the time to figure it out all by myself.

Therefore I’m willing to pay a person here on this forum to help customize it to my website.

Thinks to be done:
– Main forum page does not show.
– Translation to Swedish (You don’t need to speak swedish only know how to copy the language file from wordpress into bbpress.)
– And a few other things. More info if interested.

So do you have the experience to fix this for me? Send me a message and we can discuss the deal.

[Yakir Gottesman]

It is very easy. You just don’t need this HTML code!

This text box should use the defaults of the WordPress installation or the theme basic css instructions. The problem is that you specify the DIR in the html code, so there is no way around it using css.

If it is really important for some reason, you can use css: direction=”ltr”. We could walk around it using the rtl.css or using !important or something.

[Stephen Edgar]

via @JohnJamesJacoby https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2249#comment:1

This is a tough one, because technically the theme should have support for RTL editor styles. Moving to future release so we can investigate further.
