Since that worked just fine here, I’ll have to blame my own editor 🙂
(I’m using a rich editor, not TinyMCE)

If I send “rich” content to BBPress (ie. HTML), what would the proper formatting be for code?

[Hansaplastique]

Well after playing with this issue for several hours I have narrowed the problem down to this;

If I try to post the following trivial example code example:

update project_management set prj_first_activated = CURRENT_DATE;

the post will not be posted (I guess trying that here will help get insight – if it behaves the same, then I know that there is a good chance that it’s BBPress related).

If I leave the “=” out of the code however, it posts just fine.

I’m helping some friends with their website. I set it all up using WordPress and BBPress and they have asked me if I could setup a moderator user roll for the forum that would give a user limited powers but allow them to open / close / lock threads. Is there a plugin for this, or a way to set that up in BBPress already? I looked around in the plugin settings but don’t see that option anywhere.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have a section in my bbPress Forums (bbPress 2.3.2 + WordPress 3.5.2) related to SQL.
So … users will post SQL example code, but it appears bbPress is simply rejecting the entire post, without even a warning.

Is this a “standard” filtering by bbPress (to avoid injections)?
Is there a way around this limitation?
Does it involve only a few keywords/characters?

(Yes; I did try Google and searching this forum)

Any help or insight would be very much appreciated 🙂

I’ll try that out! I used the .entry-title tag before. And that was used by metro. didnt use .bbPress

[@mercime]

The problem is the theme uses the same tag

@janhoos .bbPress is only added to the body tag only where bbPress is active. Hence, you could use body.bbPress to ID bbPress pages. I don’t use Metro, so I find it strange that .bbpress would be added to body tag in all pages.

[janhoos]

Thanks for the answer. The problem is the theme uses the same tag. I could alter it in my theme, but I would rather add a class in bbPress. As I bought the theme and I believe it will get updates every now and then. Although you can say the same about bbPress of course… 😛

[@mercime]

@janhoos to control page titles in bbPress pages, add to your stylesheet:

body.bbpress h1.entry-title {
// your styles here
}

Hey guys!

I’m using the genesis framework with the Metro childtheme (http://d1021797-400.nedlook.com/airsoftclubnederland.nl/forums/) and Metro has these (imo) cool big titles. But its really unneeded on the forums.

I already know I can put the CSS file in my theme folder but when I mod the title attribute, the titles on normal pages and will also be smaller. Its not being restricted to bbPress as both (WordPress and bbPress) use the same title attribute.

Where can I add a class to the bbPress titles? I imagine I need to modify a core file somewhere.

That way I can simply copy the CSS from the metro title and put something like: div class bbpresstitle in front of it and make it so that only bbPress uses that bit of CSS.

Hello,

I would like to know how to make the “frontpage” of our forum exactly like this forum (bbPress Support). The frontpage should have a paginated “stream” with the latest topics, in the sidebar I should have the forums categories, etc.

Can you please give me a hint?

Thanks!

[RiGoRmOrTiS_UK]

I would really like to get the @username displayed under a person’s name next to the avatar; the same as these forums; some of my forum users have changed their display names and its making it less user friendly when people try to use @username to get someone’s attention through mentions.

I have read all the info from @johnjamesjacoby above; but it kinda went over my head; ideally I’d love to know exactly what php file to edit and what code to insert and at what specific line/area of said PHP file 🙂 if possible!

Hope someone can help! thanks!

I have read several articles about removing the bbpress slug for forums and then creating a page “forums”, but I really don’t to do that if there is another way. I simply want to add a link to my main navigation menu so when a user clicks it, they are taken to the forum main index. I know when i type in http://www.samplesite.com/forums it takes me where i want to go. So how can i accomplish this with/without creating a forums page. When I have a forums page, the link displays in the main navigation menu, but takes me to an empty page with no forums. Thanks in advance!!!

[wghyzer]

The short code [bbp-forum-index] displays an entire list of forums while the side bar widget bbPress List can be made to display just the Forum root. Is there a way to either make the [bbp-forum-index] display just the forum rootlist or can the widget bbPress List be made to display on a page?

Thank You

Hello,

Could anyone point me in the right direction so I can identify the filters used in bbpress so that I might remove wptexturize?

I have identified those required for WordPress itself, but bbpress appears to use different filters. The WordPress ones I successfully used are:

remove_filter( ‘the_title’, ‘wptexturize’ );
remove_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘wptexturize’ );
remove_filter( ‘the_excerpt’, ‘wptexturize’ );
remove_filter( ‘comment_text’, ‘wptexturize’ );

Which I added to functions.php of a child theme.

I then identified what I thought were the required filters in bbpress from here:

http://etivite.com/api-hooks/bbpress/trigger/apply_filters/bbp_get_topic_content/

…and added the following to functions.php to no effect:

remove_filter( ‘bbp_get_reply_content’, ‘wptexturize’);
remove_filter( ‘bbp_get_topic_content’, ‘wptexturize’);

These filters do not work, so I assume they are not the correct ones. Any ideas what the correct filters are?

Thank you!

After much trial and error, I’ve come to a solution that retains permission control and shows the first post when using Wishlist Member with bbPress:

// Create a new filtering function that will add our where clause to the query
add_filter( 'posts_where', 'your_filter_where', 99 );
function your_filter_where( $where ) {

	global $post;
        
        // Limit to posts so it's not ruining permission queries all around the site.  You could also check user level if you need further specificity.
	if( get_post_type( $post->ID ) == 'topic' ) {

                // The Solution: Match based on post id AND parent id.  The admin query did this, the user query did not, so we do a simple search and replace to make it happen.
		$search = $wpdb->prefix . 'posts.post_parent = ' . $post->ID;
		$replace = '( ' . $wpdb->prefix . 'posts.post_parent = ' . $post->ID . ' OR ' . $wpdb->prefix.'posts.ID = ' . $post->ID . ' ) ';
		
		$where = str_replace( $search, $replace, $where);

	}

	return $where;
}

Due to the way that WLM obfuscates their code, it’s impossible to know exactly HOW they are re-constructing queries, but this is a quick starting point for anyone looking to solve the issue of WLM not showing bbPress’s first post in a topic to users.

Hope it helps!

hello there. iam wondering if i activate bbpress, write some things and all of them will be displayed on the frontpage.

is that normal? if yes, is there a way to deactivate? dont like this setting, but all in all i find bbpress is a nice forum.

[Tecca]

It’s a plugin for WordPress so you’d install with your current website. The domain would be something like mywebsite.com/forums

The style will be inherited by whatever WordPress theme you’re using.

Is there any simple way yet to convert an existing punBB forum (I’m running version 1.2.16) into bbPress yet? I tried the bbConverter plugin which says their punBB converter is “not complete”. I tried it anyway, but it simply didn’t do anything.

Also found this topic: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/punbb-bbpress/

But I don’t know how to “run” the script. If it would work at all, it’s five years old.

Your advice?

Hi, Im real new to wordpress and bbpress. I have a similar issue with the bbpress sidebar not showing up. I have my forum page setup as a static page and would like to have a sidebar to login etc… can you help?

[Martyn_]

With BWM the fancy wordpress editor breaks for me – you are unable to switch between visual and text modes.

Versions:

Better WordPress Minify 1.2.2
bbPress 2.3.2
bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab 1.0.0
GD bbPress Tools 1.4
buddypress 1.7.3 (not relevent I think)

I’ve no idea how to debug this but can post more – does anyone have a fix/workaround?

[xejarque]

good news!

[Tecca]

It’s possible that your theme has a bbpress.css file which is overriding whatever you’re putting in the default file. Regardless, you should be editing the file that’s in your theme’s directory, which would look similar to:

webroot / wp-content / themes / yourtheme / css / bbpress.css

If the file isn’t in there or you don’t have that folder in your theme, copy and paste the file over.

Also make sure you’re hard refreshing your browser to clear its cache, after making your changes (hold CTRL then press f5 on your keyboard, or press the browser’s refresh button a couple of times).

Hi Tecca,

That didnt work. changing this codes doesnt reflect any changes on my forums page. in my Godaddy account i am changing this under

webroot / wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / default / css / bbpress.css
