add it to your child themes functions.php or a functionality plugin.

add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'rkk_bbp_edit_quick_editor' );
function rkk_bbp_edit_quick_editor( $args = array() ) {

@korobochkin

in the trac they are trying to add this feature and at least an option to disable it.

if you do not want pingbacks and trackbacks remove any code that is for the comments section when you create a bbpress.php and see if that fixes it.

[Robkk]

just delete the user from the WordPress backend

go to users>all users then search for the user you want to delete

hover around there avatar and name and you will a bunch of links which one of them says delete

click that

then the next screen which is added from bbPress which says

[] delete all content

[] attribute all content to: {some username}

tick delete all content then confirm deletion

In the editor I need to, at the very least remove the code button.

Is there any way to use the default WordPress Editor where users can see the visual results of their editing instead of the html markup text.

Users of the forum I’m creating are not HTML coders and the way this works will totally confuse them. Also switching it off in settings makes matters worse as then they are presented with an instruction box showing the HTML tags.

Hello,

I am hosting a wordpress website with bbPress.
Everything is working great, expect for 1 thing that is pretty annoying.
How can I use the empty space, since I use 2x site bars, the space is already limited.

[phatmass]

I had the same problem and took a chance on this plugin that had zero feedback:

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/change-all-users-slug

I ran it on all 4700 of my members with one click. After a couple minutes the plugin said it couldn’t change anything because all the usernames matched the display names.

BUT… whatever it did, it FIXED the 404 errors! Now, all my users that have spaces in their names are taken to a profile page like this /john-smith/ instead of this /JohnSmith/.

easiest way would be to run some code through to correct – since you are asking, I expect this is beyond your skillset so suggest you post a request on

http://jobs.wordpress.net/

It should be a fairly cheap solution – code would be less than 20 lines !

I have three sites I am merging into one WordPress site (I know, there was not a clear pathway, but now I am correcting it). I have a bbPress forum on one of the sites that I need to migrate into an existing site. I have brought the users over already. Is there a suggested manner I should use to import the forum? the WXR Export does not seem to work properly.

Thoughts?

[johnmontfx]

I’m migrating from a vbulletin forum (3.x) and I’ve figured out how to do a bit of customization, bringing over custom fields in the user table. But one thing I’m having a tough time figuring out is how to bring in the first_name and last_name to the usermeta table.

For some reason, the following does not work:

		// fx: last name Stored in usermeta)
		$this->field_map[] = array(
			'from_tablename' => 'user',
			'from_fieldname' => 'lastname',
			'to_type'        => 'user',
			'to_fieldname'   => 'last_name'
		);

But the following does:

		// fx: last name Stored in usermeta)
		$this->field_map[] = array(
			'from_tablename' => 'user',
			'from_fieldname' => 'lastname',
			'to_type'        => 'user',
			'to_fieldname'   => 'fx_last_name'
		);

Simply by changing “last_name” to “fx_last_name” it works. I’d prefer to have it bring it in as the WordPress defaults. I understand I can force a move into the correct field once I import, but as I’ll have about 24 hours on the migration day, i’d love to get it accomplished in the import script.

Thanks for any insights.

Hi,
I am volunteering on a not for profit site running wordpress 4.0.1, bbpress 2.5.4, s2member pro 141007

I have yet to be able to see any of the forums, topics etc as all I get is a 404 error. I have ready through the info about this issue and tried everything suggested, including the two plugins that are supposed to fix it to no avail.

I do have pretty links turned on, I do have a “Forums” page and have tried it with and without a shortcode to pull up the forums and it just shows the shortcode and never the forum. The only way I get get anything to show is to use the “ugly” link to the forums but none of the links work from
http://ontariodoulas.org/?post_type=forum

Any ideas on where to go from here? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

[Joukku]

Starting Conversion

[Joukku]

Hi all,

I’ve been trying to import my forum from phpbb 3.1.1 (no mod or themes) to bbpress 2.5.4.

I used row limits 50 and delay time 2. Database settings looks to be ok.

Problem is following code that appears on every line:
‘Warning: set_time_limit() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/int2000/d/xxxxx/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converter.php on line 306 Warning: set_time_limit() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/int2000/d/xxxxx/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converter.php on line 306’

Conversion goes till end and following message will appear:
‘Repair any missing information: Continue’
‘SELECT convert(forums.forum_id USING “utf8”) AS forum_id,convert(forums.parent_id USING “utf8”) AS parent_id,convert(forums.forum_topics USING “utf8”) AS forum_topics,convert(forums.forum_posts USING “utf8”) AS forum_posts,convert(forums.forum_topics_real USING “utf8”) AS forum_topics_real,convert(forums.forum_name USING “utf8”) AS forum_name,convert(forums.forum_desc USING “utf8”) AS forum_desc,convert(forums.left_id USING “utf8”) AS left_id,convert(forums.forum_type USING “utf8”) AS forum_type,convert(forums.forum_status USING “utf8”) AS forum_status FROM phpbb_3forums AS forums LIMIT 0, 100’

What am I doing wrong?

[caucasusfund]

Hello,
i have a problem with bbpress, when bbpress is activated, the SlimStat plugin stops working/monitoring my website, and this error is appear in the SlimStat page:

Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /home/…/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3370

please help, how to fix this. thanks

[Stephen Edgar]

Just like any normal spam attack, automated scripting, because the codex was “open” to anyone with a wordpress.org account that was all that was needed to create (or edit) any pages on the codex 🙁

I’ll make sure we add yourself to that said list of users with permissions though 🙂

[tnts]

i was a smart boy and found my way to generate the download link for bbpress 1.0.3

[Robin W]

@derock299 – sorry I don’t offer Skype support for this plugin, sorry but I have too much else on 🙂

Private groups would limit them, but you would need to set this manually after registration.

so you would have sitewide forums and general chats with no restrictions.

Then you would set the ‘year’ forums up to belong to a ‘year’ group so you would have the 91 forum set up a group name 91.

A user registering would not have access to or see the existence any of the private group restricted forums, so on registration would just see the [edit] public forums.

Then after registration you would simply edit that user to add them to say the 91 group, and they would see the 91 forums or forums (and obviously the open forums) and no other restricted ones.

I would suspect that automating this would allow anyone to register and immediately get access to a ‘year’ forum, or register multiple times and get access to lots of years, defeating the restriction, so manual adding (allowing your to verify) should be fine.

Howveer if you want this automated, you would need to email me via my website http://www.rewweb.co.uk but it might be expensive to code (I’d need to work that out) or try http://jobs.wordpress.net/

Wordpress 4.0
bbPress 2.5.4

Hi,
in admin toolber, I would disable the section about buddyPress, I detected it by css code:
ul#wp-admin-bar-my-account-buddypress.

Can I hide it?

Thanks.

[Nicolas Korobochkin]

If site have enabled option

Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks)

Then if you try to create a post with links to your forum topics WordPress creates comments for… topics. I guess this is a bug, because comments not showing on topics pages.

[robertosalemi]

Wordpress 4.0
bbPress 2.5.4

Hi,
in the function ‘bbp_get_single_forum_description’, I would concat a message for user not logged in.

I wrote:

add_action( 'bbp_get_single_forum_description', 'msg_for_user_loggedin' );
add_action( 'bbp_get_single_topic_description', 'msg_for_user_loggedin' );

function msg_for_user_loggedin( $args = '' ) {
	if ( !bb_is_user_logged_in() )
	{ 
		$custom_msg = "You must be logged in to see all topics.";
	}
	else 
	{
		$custom_msg = "";
	}
	
     echo $custom_msg . bbp_get_single_forum_description( $args );
}

But it not works, why?

Thanks.

Hi,
I have upgraded a website to wordpress 4.0.1 and bbpress to version 2.5.4 and after that topics have disappeared. If I click on each forum appear two messages:
This forum contains 7 topics and 102 replies
but no topics are shown and after this message there is this other message:
Oh bother! No topics were found here!

We have tried to change the template and to deactivate the plugins but there are no conflicts and the issue still exist.

[tharsheblows]

If you want to add fields (including captchas) to your registration form, you can make a custom registration form – there are a lot of plugins that allow you to do this and tutorials on creating your own. I use Gravity Forms but I’m sure many others are good too.

One of the best things to me about WordPress is its user management; it’d be a shame not to use it! 🙂

[sidelancer]

Just curious, is there any way to have a registration and login system that is separate from WordPress? Like the kind they have at most forum websites where you input captcha, details about yourself, etc.

[Stephen Edgar]

Indeed this would work converting the JSON to a CSV but I’d suggest another route first if you haven’t tried it. There is a long discussion on the Ning Importer support forum here that should help you get the Ning importer “working” (read some of the other replies before and after the one I linked for more context).
