Using the Hueman theme with latest bbpress and wordpress. The forums page has the correct sidebar, but when I click on a topic, a another, different sidebar appears.

[alaskanbob]

This is a new current installation of WordPress, Buddypress and bbPress

I’ve created two forums. one group forum and one non-group forum. Both show up on the forum index at *.com/forums/

The non-group test forum works fine. Clicking on the index test forum link goes to *.com/forums/forum/test-forum/ the topic link goes to *.com/forums/topic/test-topic/

The group forum isn’t working. Clicking on the index group forum link just returns to *.com/forums/

However when I mouseover the link it shows *.com/groups/accessible-woodworking/forum/

I can go directly to the topic in the group forum at *.com/groups/accessible-woodworking/forum/topic/accessible-woodworking-test-topic/

I’m thinking it has something to do with the setting for the Group Forum root, but I don’t know how to change it.

Any and all suggestions welcome. Thank you in advance.

Wordpress version: 4.1.1
bbPress version: 2.5.4
phpBB forum version: 3.1.3

I’m running into an issue trying to import a phpBB forum into bbPress. I’ve checked and rechecked my database information/login. I have the correct table prefix for what the old database is using. I’m getting the following error when I press start:

WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘users.user_website’ in ‘field list’]
SELECT convert(users.user_id USING “utf8”) AS user_id,convert(users.user_password USING “utf8”) AS user_password,convert(users.user_form_salt USING “utf8”) AS user_form_salt,convert(users.username USING “utf8”) AS username,convert(users.user_email USING “utf8”) AS user_email,convert(users.user_website USING “utf8”) AS user_website,convert(users.user_regdate USING “utf8”) AS user_regdate,convert(users.user_aim USING “utf8”) AS user_aim,convert(users.user_yim USING “utf8”) AS user_yim,convert(users.user_icq USING “utf8”) AS user_icq,convert(users.user_msnm USING “utf8”) AS user_msnm,convert(users.user_jabber USING “utf8”) AS user_jabber,convert(users.user_occ USING “utf8”) AS user_occ,convert(users.user_interests USING “utf8”) AS user_interests,convert(users.user_sig USING “utf8”) AS user_sig,convert(users.user_from USING “utf8”) AS user_from,convert(users.user_avatar USING “utf8”) AS user_avatar FROM phpbb_users AS users LIMIT 0, 100

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hope I’m grasping that correctly.

nearly

I scrapped part 2, then

what I actually did was take the final three roles form your original part 1 (I moved the participant one down to make it consistent)

so if you look at the councilman role

Then where you had

$bbp_roles['my_custom_role6'] = array(
'name' => 'Councilman',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() ) // the same capabilities as keymaster
);

This will set a role called my-custom-role-6 to the name and capabilities, and if that role doesn’t exist will create it. WordPress generally doesn’t worry about whether something already exists, if it does it overwrites it, and if it doesn’t it creates it.

Now I could have simply changed ‘my_custom_roles_6 to bbp_keymaster, and it would have changed the existing role bbp_keymaster name and capabilities to what was in that line

But for reasons I won’t bore you with, it is better to call a function which gets that role

hence the new line before

$keymaster = bbp_get_keymaster_role() ;

Then you just use that $keymaster variable set in the line before

WordPress 4.1.1 running Divi Child Theme theme.
BBPress Version 2.5.4
http://oxfordukchapter.co.uk
We have the above version of BBpress and when the members use the forum they leave lines between their posts

as so

and then the post will not show when you close the lines up everything is visible.
Thanks

Pretty strange one imho. I’ve been working on porting an existing site from phpbb
over to wordpress/bbpress. While going through a final test of the port I’ve come across the following problem. Namely when in forums where you can see the latest post (along side the forum name), the name of the latest post plus its time/date are totally incorrect, however the url actually links to the correct latest post.

See: wp.photographyireland.net/forums to see.

I’ve retried all the usual recalculates etc… I have tested the port in the past and didn’t have this issue. Can anyone advise or at worst provide me with a sql updates statement to correct?

I don’t want to do the port for real if I’m going to run into this again. Tbh I do find that the import from phpbb can be a tad bit flaky at time…

Cheers

Hi,

it would be better to keep how it is leading to the userprofile just in case someone didnt input their website url in their profile.

Users can already edit their profile through the login widget.

so basically you want it to act sort of like how wordpress comments handles the comment author link on this one.

Yes, that’s it !

if the author is not anonymous, use the user_url

it would be better to keep how it is leading to the userprofile just in case someone didnt input their website url in their profile.

else use the comment website url

this sounds like you want to use the website field in the anonymous user form when they post.

so basically you want it to act sort of like how wordpress comments handles the comment author link on this one.

am i right??

@atlantis1525

on the backend of wordpress you can see a menu item called toward the bottom-left called settings, from there , there is more settings for things like discussion , writing , and permalinks.

here is what it looks like

https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Permalinks_Screen

[Robin W]

ok, try

https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/

use

is_bbpress()where you want a widget displayed on bbpress pages and
!is_bbpress() where you don’t

[whimsicality]

Yes of course.

Website user url is the field in the user profile in WordPress.

Don’t know what you did before but use my plugin

3. Buddypress allows more member profile functions, group creation with private forums and a facebook style activity wall, this is all added by Buddypress to the already existing forum only functions from BBpress.

They integrat by following the steps offered after instal, I always instal BBPress first.

If you want you can have a look a my site how they work together, I believe they should always be used in tandem.

Buddy/BB/Wordpress

4. If you create the categories and the forums, then members can only post topics in forums on hose categories by default.

2. You can change that text in form-reply.php, which means you need to make a bbpress template folder in your child theme.

1. I wish it was true.

Hope this helps.

there is a few buddypress plugins that allow users to change their username.

search the wordpress plugin directory.

[Robin W]

since it is a wordpress role that would let you see the users, then the subscriber role will prevent you doing this.

I think it would be a useful thing to have but don’t know anything that currently does this, sorry !

[Robin W]

This could be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings>Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.

So I just installed bbPress (2.5.4) successfully after having buggy versions last week. Though I’m having a lot of issues this time. I’m using WordPress 4.1.1 and Twenty Fifteen as my theme.

I created a new forum which I called, “forum” and a topic called, “general”. When I go to view the forum, it takes me to /forums/forum/forum which I believe should be /forums/forum but I can’t go there without it redirecting me. /forums just redirects me as well.

Following the codex, I tried method two which involved using the shortcode. This works all fine until I clicked on the forum, which took me to /forums/forum/forum

My site is:

– method 1
– method 2

How can I fix this issue? Please don’t say disable plugins because I know for a fact, that isn’t the reason.

i think this is some custom development go post a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/

@wadams92101

i suggest you talk to the developers of the wp mobile app at their forums.

i dont know what you could possibly add though to it though.

@critchy

you do have settings>forums Allow forum wide search enabled and no CSS hiding the search form

maybe using a customized wordpress theme could remove the search bar too.

[Robkk]

i just tested it out and it seems to work fine.

you can find the files to install for wp-content/languages/bbPress here

I am adding a member forum section to a church website. It is just for congregation members to communicate with each other once logged in. The group wants only one main forum in which all topics will be listed/added. I have added the (bbPress) Forums List to the sidebar widget area, but it does not show up. When I log in, I see “member login” with my user name and below that “recent topics” with all topics listed in the right sidebar. The “forum List” does not appear at all, making it very confusing to navigate the topic threads. I don’t know css and am totally lost here, so please be kind and very specific with your help. 🙂

My WordPress version is 4.1.1 and we are using the “Risen” Theme.
bbPress version is 2.5.4, I am also using bbl style pack and bbPress WP Tweaks 1.3.1
