Hi,

I’m wondering if anybody have some advice how to achieve this:

I have created 3 roles called; member, steeringgroup and board, with Justin Tadlocks Members plugin.
Now I’d like to restrict those roles to the following bbpress forums:

Category forum A (can only be viewed by logged in users, in role member, steeringgroup and board)
 - Forum
 - Forum

Category forum B (can only be viewd by logged in users, in role steeringgroup and board)
- Forum
- Forum

Category forum C (can only be viewd by logged in users, in role board)
- Forum
- Forum

Not logged in guests should not see anything of the forums, they will be redirected to a sign-up page. (have fixed this one).

Currently all 3 category forums and sub forums are visible to all logged in users at all times.

Running WordPress 3.4.2, bbPress 2.1.2, Members 0.2.1

Thank you in advance for any help/advice.

If asking for help, please include your WordPress version, bbPress version, and a link to your site.

If you have a problem while using a non-bundled theme, check if it happens with TwentyTen or TwentyEleven.

If you found a bug, please create a trac ticket with detailed duplication steps.

hey John,

I appreciate your response.

I’m sorry, but I don’t agree bbPress’ code or the process of implementing it is nicely documented. In fact, very little of it is documented that I can see — and much of what does exist refers to bbpress 1.x. As an example, I found it almost impossible to find any documentation this week on how to install a new bbPress 2.x theme, or how to modify existing themes. For a WordPress plugin … this is pretty unusual.

I appreciate that this is an open source community … I guess I’m disappointed because I feel what bbPress is doing has the potential to be revolutionary — and that its difficulty of implementation is limiting that potential. WordPress has needed what bbPress is doing for many years.

Cheers,

Renai

When you’re logged in and go to leave a comment it says ‘Logged in as ‘user’. Log Out?’ I would like the word ‘user’ to link to the users bbpress profile thats set up instead of the wordpress profile in the backend.

I know very little about php and how to make it work but I’m good with html and css.

Using Compatibility version: bbpress is calling upon my main sidebar widget area. Where is this code? I created a new widget area in functions.php in my existing theme called “Forum Sidebar” so that I can put my bbpress widgets as a sidebar on the forum. (I have added widget areas successfully before). I created one forum category here: http://musiclearningcommunity.com/wordpress/forums/forum/maximize-music-learning/ In every php document in bbp-theme-compat, I replaced:

(I can’t get my code to show up!) argh.
with the following: ….

I do not see any changes – my main sidebar persists. Thank you for your help! Theme: Addington, bbPress version: 2.1.2, website: http://www.musiclearningcommunity.com/wordpress`

Hi there – I have a forum on a membership site running:

bbpress 2.1.2, buddypress 1.6.1, wordpress 3.4.2

with a premium theme.

The site owners have asked if we can add the ability for users to upload photos and embed video into forum posts. The rich tinyMCE editor doesn’t include the standard media uploader button, and even though in my Settings for bbPress I have the option to embed video/flickr/etc checked, when I paste the code in it defaults to a link instead of the embed object. I’m not very familiar with either bbPress or buddypress, so any help is greatly appreciated. I’ve attached a screenshot of the current forum editor.

Because the site is a membership site and the forums are protected, the link won’t help much but here it is: http://www.innercircletheater.com.

I’m more than happy to pay someone to implement these components. Also, I’ve tried adding the bbpress post tools plugin, but it breaks my theme.

Thanks!
Shannon

Hello,

I have been experimenting with different forums, so I’ll start this with a compliment. bbpress is the best wordpress forum software (plugin) offered.

The problem I am having is the installation location of the forum. For example:

It always installs to http://www…com/forums/forum/all-forums/ (the name of the actual forum is “all forums”)

I would like the forum to be installed at http://www…com/forum/

I would note that it automatically puts in the extra sub directories without asking me.

Also, strangly, if I make the forum http://www…com/forum, this redirects to my blog, which I do not understand at all.

Please help.

Thanks,

Robbie

I am using the latest wordpress and latest bbpress.

I can recreate it. It was the first thing I did before posting here in fact :P. Being a software dev it was step 1. I created a new user account the same as all my users, I made a post on a forum and also tried replying to 1. I then clicked the edit button, it opened the edit form which showed all of the wordpress posts. When I use my Key Master account, I don’t see this, I am able to edit properly. Same goes for my other admins who have been editing there posts

Found it, thank you

[Jared Atchison]

Are you using the latest versions of bbPress/WordPress?

I’ve never heard of this happening at all since 2.0 has been released. I have no cluet what’s going on, but we’re going to need a lot more information.

Can you duplicate this?

We need to know the steps taken to “break” it. Specifically, what “edit” link did she click? On what post? When it took her to the edit page, what was the full URL? That sort of information.

You need to ask the user for step by step direction on how this occurred. We need to duplicate it to see if it is indeed a real bug or just something breaking on your site due to a theme/plugin conflict. 🙂

[Cigaras]

So I clicked the Appearance -> Menu section, entered name for menu “Forums”, clicked Create Menu, what next? I entered http://127.0.0.1:8080/wordpress/forums/ into Custom Menu field, clicked the Add to Menu button, then Save Menu, and it doesn’t help, the new menu doesn’t appear on the page, what did I miss?

Go to /wp-admin/nav-menus.php (section Appearance -> Menu from left sidebar), create a menu (if you don’t have one), assign it and insert the link to the /forums page.

Super simple question: how to add link to bbpress forums on my wordpress page header using default theme?

[dailydose]

Currently on Bwater that I customized. I’m on bbPress Version 2.1.2 tried to find what version I am on, on WordPress but can’t seem to find, but do know that Im getting Updates to Update to the WordPress Version : 3.4.2 So take it I am on the old one. I don’t want to Update as I’m Petrofied of loosing all my hard Work that’s took me a year to do, and states in my Update’s that if I do Update, I will loose all my Customizations. RIGHT.. Hoping ANYONE can help me out on this one, I have sat for 4 whole Day’s and Nights trying to figure this out, and has now given up 🙁 I have not toched any bbPress css or has edited it in anyway to say in advance. There seems to be 2 Issues wrong. The Layout.
When I choose the bbPress Default compat theme, The top half is fine, but when we get to the Create New Topic in: section it’s half Cut off you cant even see the Submit button. Widgets are showing fine though.
I’m not to fussed about having set by default but would like to have it as a full page width, which I have done followed all Instructions! of even going into my Page setting the page attributes to Full-Width-no-sidebar Option. Then changed to the Twenty Ten (bbPress) plugin theme which made it Full width, but my Avatar is placed right at the Top Left hand of my page which is odd, and my Widgets are on the page also, which shouldn’t be there if I have set the page to full width. also the Widgets are @ the bottom of my page but scatterd all over my Forum ughhh. I have read through all of the Forums regarding this matter (Topic) Tried for myself but still does not look right. Please can ANYONE be so kind to help me on this matter PLEASE. Cant sit for another 4days trying to figure this out very frustrating really, and a Shame as I really like this bbPress its the only theme that looks nice on my site. Now if I can only get it to work! I have tried absolutly everything before coming to the forum unless absolutly ness.
any step by step code help as I am not that savvy with all codes as of yet but know alittle.
Link to the page it’s on http://dailydoseoflovely.com/forums/forum/which-blog/

[Jared Atchison]

Right now this is best handled with a plugin such as https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/

Though its definitely on the watch list for bbP core. 🙂

[wpmhweb]

Hello,

I am just wondering if this is how it suppose to work. I was testing the user’s page in bbpress and I update my bio and when I hitted the update profile button it seemed that it worked ok. Later on I was in my WordPress user profile when I noticed that most of my settings were reset to defaults. I shouldn’t updated my profile through bbPress? Or there is a bug?

Thanks,

PS: I am using WP 3.4.2 and bbP 2.1.2

Hi Guys,

I have no idea what has happened to my forums – they were up and running fine for a little while but have recently fallen apart on me.

Am running the Pagelines Framework, latest versions of BBPress, Buddypress and WordPress.

Have tried deactivating recently installed plugins with no success. If anyone could suggest what may be going on that would be greatly appreciated

http://www.ausdrumline.com/forums

Apologies in advance if I have not provided enough info – if you need anything else, please just ask. I am new around these parts 🙂

[Flight777]

Hey,

The theme compat works 😛 but it uses the CSS of my WordPress theme which totally screws the lay-out of the forum 😛 That is why I start working with Twentyten. Is there no possibility to make it two column?

Rob

[Jared Atchison]

I’m not 100% sure this is exactly what you were wanting to do, but I figured I’d post this for anyone else for finds this thread.

I released a plugin that basically hides bbPress from all users who are not logged in.

For example, if your forum is at YourDomain.com/forums and a vistor tries to go there who is not logged in, they will be redirected to a URL of your choice (defined in the settings). Also this plugin disables all bbPress RSS feeds and most shortcodes.

You can just delete the user and assign all those topics & replies to another user.

eg. If your vBulletin username was ‘Anointed’ and that username is the same username you setup for WordPress during the import, bbPress would have created a username ‘Imported_Anointed’ to avoid duplicates etc.

Go to the WordPress Admin -> Users and find the username ‘Imported_Anointed’ and click ‘delete’, the next screen will show you a copuple of options to either delete the user and all posts OR to ‘Attribute all posts and links to’ another username, simply select your ‘Anointed’ username from the dropdown list and all topics and replies will now be merged with your primary WordPress username ‘Anointed’

[Jared Atchison]

Filed a bug report in trac – https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1974

Will hopefully get a patch soon have this fixed for 2.2 🙂

Thanks for reporting the bug!

[matrixd]

Hello John, thank you for your reply. It sounds logical that this could be the reason, but we can’t find an option to change the number format (for example from 2,033 to 2033). We have searched all the options in BBpress and WordPress but we could not find it.

Could you give us more info, how to change it?

Thank you in advance.

@renai42 – Thanks for the feedback. The great thing about bbPress being open-source is you’re able to fix the things you don’t like on your own with Subversion patches via our Trac.

Sorry you’re finding the CSS to be complicated. There are some compromises we made to be able to make bbPress as good as it can with every possible WordPress theme available. As such, some CSS rules are more strict than others, and we tend to have things wrapped in ID’s to allow groups of content to be styled and/aggressively reset.

The staff here are volunteers, every one of us. We operate under the assumption that if you’re in the code, asking code questions, that you’re comfortable taking on something new and foreign. I’ll defend the code here though, since bbPress’s code is nicely documented and orderly.

Volunteer community members represent the project, but they also represent themselves. If someone’s made you feel bad, that’s between you and them. We’re all adults here, and it doesn’t benefit anyone to talk above or below anyone else; when it happens, it weeds itself out pretty quickly.

Regarding CSS specifically, it’s in the name: it cascades down. This means you’re able to add whatever rules you’d like in the stack, and the browser will interpret those new rules in kind. If it’s not obvious enough to you, that just means you learned something new today. That’s not anyone’s fault, or anything that anyone should be upset about on either side.

Again, thanks for your feedback; if you’d like to talk privately about a specific matter or person, contact me privately (a Google search should bring up multiple ways to do this.)
