Is it easy for you to summarise what “extra” you found out that would help others searching this forum in future?

[Zé Fontainhas]

From https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2151 ,here’s a quick hack to turn bbPress activity recording on, on sites that have the Discourage search engines option checked. Put this somewhere in functions.php or in your own plugin’s code:

<?php

add_filter( 'bbp_is_site_public', 'yourownprefix_enable_bbp_activity', 10, 2);

function yourownprefix_enable_bbp_activity( $public, $site_id ) {
	return true;
}

?>

[Zé Fontainhas]

I was having the exact same problem, and yes un-checking Discourage search engines from indexing this site, does make bbPress activity start being recorded.

As to why this is so and if the behaviour is intended, your guess is as good as mine. If it *is* intended, I am extremely curious to know the twisted logic that dictated this implementation.

[Marcin Biegun]

1. create bbpress directory in your theme directory
2. copy there loop-single-forum.php from /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress
3. add wherever you wish the image to appear:
<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post_id, 'full'); ?>

Today I had a guest post published on WP Tavern which is largely about bbPress. It also talks about functionality like @ddean ‘s Topics for Posts plugin.

Dear Automattic: You Are Losing The Debate

[Xarcell]

I think I figured it out on my own…

[Xarcell]

There are several tutorials on ow to create your own bbpress theme to work with your wp child theme, but none of them work. Can someone point me in the right direction or tell me how to do it?

I’m planning on making a WordPress theme that also works with buddyPress and bbPress. However, I cannot figure out how to create a custom bbPress theme that will be installed with my WP theme.

Thanks.

@aaclayton – currently using this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-unread-posts/

yes this plugin does add a meta key to each post for tracking unread status. Do you know of a better plugin that does this in a more elegant fashion?

[Dani-Girl]

I can’t get bbpress to work.

I’ve uploaded bbpress to my plugins directory.

After I click on “activate” in the Plugins list, I get this message:

You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

I’m logged in as the main Administrator (since there is only 1 user right now)

What am I doing wrong?

[aaclayton]

@dtbaker perhaps I’m misunderstanding, but you are adding a postmeta key=>value for every user that visits your forum? That seems fairly suicidal.

The other problem I see, is that if you are pulling posts for which:
bbpress_unread_posts_last_visit_X < _bbp_last_active_time

You will be omitting topics that were created after _bbp_last_active_time, which are quite clearly also unread by the particular user.

[blg002]

For posterities sake, i think i figured this out thanks to this article. I was close just had few things I didn’t know about, hopefully I’m not doing anything too terrible.

function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
  $bbp_roles['my_custom_role'] = array( 
    'name' => 'My Custom User',
    'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // i just want them to have the same capabilities as participants
  );

  return $bbp_roles;
}   
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );

[Daniel J. Lewis]

I’d like this, too. It seems that the bbpress.org forums even do that. Have you figured out a way?

[Anders]

Not sure if it’s related, but here goes:

I’m not using Recent Topics and Private and Hidden forums does not appear in search results for me.

I do however have a couple of “private” forums that I’m restricting access to with the “Members” + “Tehnik BBPress Permissions” plugins, and with those the protected posts and replies appear in the search results.

I’m also using “bbPress – Private Replies” and “bbPress – Private Topics” (same as “Private Replies” but modified to work on topics) and that combo is able to hide the private content from the search result.

Another equally serious problem is that when a user uploads and attaches confidential images or data to a post and marks the post as private, the post is correctly hidden but the files are accessible to all users in the media manager. I have been unable to restrict access to the media manager.

Hello, I apologize if this is addressed elsewhere, but doing a quick couple searches, I was unable to find a concerete way to convert my Vanilla Forums over to bbPress… pixelnated, what did you use to convert? I’m nervous about converting, any suggestions?

[Drover]

I found THIS in the Codex, which almost tells me what I need. But where do I place the new, modified file?

Thanks.

[Timo]

After about two hours I could find a solution for me. It turned out that current_user_can( 'bbp_forums_admin' ) resulted in false. This is why I could not access the menu or even write replies although the user admin showed me as WP administrator and forum keymaster.

I wanted to check why my user did not have the capability “bbp_forums_admin” and installed the plugin Capability Manager Enhanced. After activation of the plugin everything worked fine again. All menu items showed up and I could post replies. Maybe this plugin fixed what bbpress messed up after updating to 2.3.2…

[justmattb]

Currently, my bbPress base is set to: community/forums

This works fine with everything except for the breadcrumbs. It shows the following:

Home > Forums
instead of
Home > Community > Forums

I’ve read this post:

How do I edit bbPress breadcrumbs?

But can’t figure out how I would inject something between “Home” and “Forum Root” without having to modify the <?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?> section in all files where it sits. I’d rather do this in my functions.php file with a filter like the above link shows. Any ideas?

@kevinjohngallagher
Hi, I tried installing the plugin since I am not good with codes. When I tried to activate the plugin I got the following error.

“The package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature.”

Any idea how to fix it?

[somuee]

Running 2 sites on 2 different servers with completely different themes and plugins and all users except admins get told “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page” when they try to go to their dashboards. Happens even when ALL plugins (including bbPress) are deactivated and with all themes, including Twenty Twelve.

WP 3.5.2
bbPress 2.3.2

[Laughing Cat]

for example, after trying to log in for several times, and finally succeeded at it, I replied in this topic, but now I can’t post new messages except in this topic… what’s wrong? if I go to another forum or discussion in bbPress.org support forums, it will say I’m an anonymous user, but if I come to this thread I’m logged in correctly. If I try to log in from other pages it will redirect me to forums home. If I clear my browser cache and cookies I’ll have trouble logging in anyway.

I have made a test side in order to run bbpress and buddypress. But i didnt found the url of bbpress forum… when i click on the forum it give me this kind of link (http://pakshares.com/test/members/admin/forums/) which i am not able to place on my menu…

[remedy01]

Hello,

I am trying to add the logged in user’s forum topics to my BuddyPress site in a custom sidebar. I keep getting this error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_has_forum_topics()

..when inserting the following:

<?php locate_template( array( 'forums/forums-loop.php' ), true ); ?>

How can I easily list the logged in user’s forum posts without relying on the recent topics widget that ships with bbPress?

Thanks

[jeanbledsoe]

I’m having the same issue. I designed the client’s site using Impact Page Builder. But when I use bbPress to set up forums, the option to assign an Impact template is not there. Therefore, the forum looks like this: http://northidahocvma.org/forums/forum/forum-2?preview=true&preview_id=607&preview_nonce=7b2aed77ba
Instead of having the Impact styling like this: http://northidahocvma.org/
I’m using the latest versions of both WordPress & bbPress with Twenty Twelve theme. Any other suggestions?

[Ed]

i’m in the same situation – and i’ve yet to find a post that explains how to remove the sidebar correctly.

JJJ, could you write a post that explains how to do that – in an idiot proof format?

Thanks!
