I have set up the bbpress forum and have Admins created through my WordPress site. When other admins try to access the Forum settings via Tools and then Plugins they do not see the options for bbpress (Forum, Replies, Topics). Help with where to update settings so others besides myself can access these settings!

This allows any length title

add_filter( 'bbp_is_title_too_long', 'rew_dont_bother', 10 , 4 ) ;

function rew_dont_bother ($result, $title, $max, $len ){
	return false ;
}

and this reduces content

//code to limit number of characters in topic contents to 500 characters
add_filter( 'bbp_new_topic_pre_content', 'rew_limit_topic_content' );
add_filter( 'bbp_edit_topic_pre_content', 'rew_limit_topic_content' );

function rew_limit_topic_content( $topic_content )
{
    /* Check for number of characters in topic contents  */
    if (strlen($topic_content) > 500) {
		$revised_content = substr($topic_content, 0, 500);
		}	
	else {
		$revised_content = $topic_content ;
	}		
 
    return $revised_content ;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

Just had a chance to dig further into this – bbpress will only let a keymaster set another keymaster, so if you’re not a keymaster yourself then by default you can’t do this.

However this code should allow any admin to set a keymaster

add_filter( 'bbp_is_user_keymaster', 'rew_allow_keymaster', 10 , 3 );

function rew_allow_keymaster ($retval, $_user_id, $user_id) {
	if (current_user_can( 'manage_options' )) $retval = true ;
return $retval ;
}

BUT THEN TAKE IT OUT AFTER you have set up another – as it makes all admins in effect keymasters.

Hi. I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I need some help getting started with BuddyPress and BBPress. I just created my first website, which is a community for people living with multiple disabilities. I am hoping to turn this into a nonprofit organization. I have installed both BBPress and BuddyPress, so I will be posting this in both forums. The website is livingwithmultipledisabilities.org, and I have WordPress version 5.4.1, BBPress version 2.6.5, and BuddyPress version 6.0.0. I have BBPress set up with several forums I created, and I think I’m going to use BuddyPress to allow users to create groups. I have a few questions. Is there anything I should do to make BBPress and BuddyPress work well together? Second, how do I set up the register and activate pages for BuddyPress to use? These pages seem to exist, but I think they are blank since I do not see anything when I edit them, and trying to review them redirects me back to my website’s homepage. Finally, is there anything else I might not know about that I need to do to set both plugins up? Thanks.

[Robin W]

yes it is buddypress

you can change the text as per below

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'You have successfully created your account! To begin using this site you will need to activate your account via the email we have just sent to your address.
' ) {
	$translated_text = 'new text';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

so just put what you want in place of ‘new text’

slow down comes from a flood check function.

The flood time is set is

dashboard>settings>forums>flooding.

for this specific issue, I’d try setting that to a longer period and see if it makes a difference

Then you can disable this function using

add_filter( 'bbp_bypass_check_for_flood', 'rew_bypass_flood' ) ;

function rew_bypass_flood () {
	return true ;
}

great – it may well be buddypress or WordPress.

If you give me a link, I’ll register and might be able to tell from the code sent to the browser

[eroesi]

Oh wow I waited soon 4 days to hear this?

I only reported what I did so far to troubleshoot this error. And by the way “you are too fast, slow down” is a popular bbPress error. After disabling the flood protection I am able to post but every posts appears as anonymous. This can’t be normal and I think is definitely a bbPress error. Also I can’t reset the database through settings > forums like I said before.

The error log is empty, only one error: WordPress database error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘)’ at line 1 for query SELECT term_id, taxonomy FROM wpOF_term_taxonomy WHERE term_taxonomy_id IN () made by require_once(‘wp-admin/admin.php’), do_action(‘load-tools_page_bbp-repair’), WP_Hook->do_action, WP_Hook->apply_filters, bbp_admin_repair_handler, bbp_admin_repair_topic_tag_count, clean_term_cache

I’m not sure where this message is coming from.

It is not in bbpress, and bbpress just uses WordPress registration.

It may well be WordPress (I haven’t got auto registration on any of my test sites so can’t say)

Or are you running and registration plugins, or does your theme do this, or is it WordPress.

You’ll need to do a bit more digging.

[Robin W]

that may be true, but it was probably not deleting that user that is behind the problem.

WordPress and bbpress roles are stored in the options table in the database under wp_user_roles.

Something (possibly a roles plugin?) has deleted or changed this role.

If you go into the database and copy what is on there, I may be able to help.

[Robin W]

are you looking at WordPress roles or bbpress roles?

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses WordPress registration,so will use whatever WordPress does

[onegurulove]

I installed bb press on my wordpress site, created the register screen, however when the user enters in the username and email there is no email received.

It is not in the junk email and all my other wordpress emails seem to be working. The only thing not working is the bbpress activation email

[simonlepamplemousse]

@robin-w

I installed the plugin

BP Emails for BBP

and it works

with the bonus that emails borrow the buddypress model of emails

So I think there is a problem with the bbp Style pack extension. It should be added a non-activation option to avoid conflict.

[simonlepamplemousse]

Hi @robin-w

I don’t think it’s related to the mail servers.

From one the mails on the other functionalities work: registration, quote, buddypress, etc …

Two, I try with several services: hotmail, gmail, etc …

The proposed plugin does not seem to solve the problem …

I will try the plugins

BP Emails for BBP

and

bbPress Notify (No Spam)

[iconuser]

I’m sorry. It was a misunderstanding.
I’m using WordPress in Japanese now, so that’s a somewhat confusing thing to say.
Thank you.

[Robin W]

ok, try

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form

and enable the visual editor

That may help

[Robin W]

are you just using bbpress default editor, or have you added the WordPress editor?

[Robin W]

email is the most complicated and hardest to debug !

It might be that as your forum becomes more popular, that bbpress method of bulk sending emails is getting them marked as spam – many email companies hate emails with multiple cc’s.

try

AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions

[simonlepamplemousse]

@robin-w

Hello,

I have the latest versions of WordPress, bbPress and bbp style pack

Users no longer receive email when they subscribe to a forum or topic.

The email is sent to the administration email but not to subscribers.

It’s not a mailbox problem. When there is a quote, it works.

It is not related to bbPress 2.6.5

Does anyone else have the same concern, is there a setting that I missed?

Thank you for helping me and sorry for my rough English.

I have a problem with the way breadcrumbs are being displayed on my search results screen.

First of all, I have the following (amongst other things) in my functions.php file:

/**
Just a simple breadcrumb trail, but, importantly, don't double up when we're at the root
**/
function mycustom_breadcrumb_options() {
	// Home - default = true
	$args['include_home']    = false;
	// Don't need breadcrumbs if we're at the root
	if ( apply_filters( 'bbp_no_breadcrumb', is_front_page() ) ) {
	// Forum root - default = true
		$args['include_root']    = false;
	// Current - default = true
		$args['include_current'] = false;
	}
	return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'mycustom_breadcrumb_options' );

/**
Search only the specified forum
**/
function my_bbp_filter_search_results( $r ){ 
    //Get the submitted forum ID
    $forum_id = sanitize_title_for_query( $_GET['bbp_search_forum_id'] );
    //If the forum ID exits, filter the query
    if( $forum_id && is_numeric( $forum_id ) ){
        $r['meta_query'] = array(
            array(
                'key' => '_bbp_forum_id',
                'value' => $forum_id,
                'compare' => '=',
            )
        );  
    }
    return $r;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_has_search_results_parse_args' , 'my_bbp_filter_search_results' );

I have a search box on the forum home page and on the index page for each individual forum. For general navigation around my forum the breadcrumbs are presented as one might expect and search results are confined to those relevant to the current forum (or all forums from the home page).

The breadcrumbs on the Forum ‘home page’ show simply as Forums and on individual forum index pages as Forums > ForumName, where ‘ForumName’ is the name of the current forum, etc. A search request from the Forum home page returns results as expected, with the breadcrumbs displayed as Forums > Search > Search Results for 'search string'. However, while a search from one of the individual forum index pages returns the refined search results as expected, the breadcrumbs are always displayed as Forums > Search > Search Results for 'search string', they don’t include the name of the forum that has been searched (i.e. Forums > ForumName > Search > Search Results for 'search string'.

I think I can see that the search is actually being applied to all forums, then refined by the relevant function in the functions.php file, so I think I can see why I might have to do a little extra work to get the relevant forum name displayed in the breadcrumb, but can anyone suggest how I might do this? It would seem that I should be able to add a little more code to my mycustom_breadcrumb_options() function, but what exactly…?

Thanks for any assistance anyone can offer.

That’s why I said it is a fresh install. Literally…installed WordPress, bbpress, created a forum and it doesn’t work.

I am seeing this error in the posts when posting / updating a post:

I’ve tried @robin-w snippit above but didnt work with my current wordpress version(latest one according to the date of my post) but i managed to get it working with this snippit if anyone needs it.

Note: I’m a beginner to wordpress and bbpress so there might be other better ways of doing this.

function change_role(){
$user_id = $user->ID ;
if( current_user_can(‘administrator’)){

bbp_set_user_role( $user_id, ‘bbp_keymaster’ );

}
}
add_action(‘wp_login’, ‘change_role’);
