Thanks for posting this, saved me hours of trying to work out which file I needed to change, and how to code it.

For those that want to add fields to their users, as well as Kate’s Meta pro, the following link shows how to add and use custom field, and the combination of these two made it quick and simple

Adding and using custom user profile fields

I also added the ability within BBpress for the user to change their location within the built in profile amend by changing Form-user-edit.php (located in web/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress

The following was added after line 125
<?php bbp_edit_user_display_name(); ?>
BBpress version 2.3.1

<div>
			<label for="town"><?php _e( 'Town', 'bbpress' ); ?></label>
			<input type="text" name="town" id="town" value="<?php echo esc_attr( bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'town' ) ); ?>" class="regular-text" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" />
		</div>

Please, any idea?

Thanks for the replies guys. Jared no it does not. The theme is pretty popular – Pinboard. I am seeing other Pinboard users with the same issue, too.

What I have done is followed the instructions here to carve out a separate forums.php page which is working as intended and rendering the bbPress plugin separate from the rest of the site.

That is allowing me to tweak the code for just this one section, but I haven’t worked out how to force it over to the .onecol layout yet. Worse, it looks like this layout issue persists through various sub-parts of the forum software, such as profile pages.

Bump … guys, I’m in the process of moving hundreds of users over to this bbPress forum, which worked fine until the upgrade and really caught us off-guard. Pretty please address if you can …

[Jared Atchison]

That shouldn’t go in bbPress. Never modify the plugin, everything gets lost when you update.

It should go in your theme’s functions.php file.

[Jared Atchison]

Currently that’s not a feature we have yet, though it’s on our radar. Hopefully it’s something that will be added in 2.4 or 2.5.

I am creating forums where a specific user [plus me being the site administrator] will be the only moderator per forum, not all forums. How do I do this?

I have installed:
WP 3.51
Members plugin
bbpress
bbPress2 BBCode
bbPress WP Tweaks

Thank you

Greetings,

I’ve set up bbPress (2.3.1) on my sandbox site (WP 3.5.1), and now would like to ‘auto-magically’ reproduce the structure and configurations on my live site, but I’m not very practiced with database imports … any advice and tips for which tables to use, configurations to watch out for, etc. greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Bob

Or i’m acting weird and you guys don’t bother to respond? I thought my question was so simple but there’s no comprehensive help or guidance for users who’re from Buddypress group forum to bbpress.

[tizmo]

Is my expectation of not getting any reply correct? Anyone with any hint?

[NewSha]

Thank you for your reply John!
Excuse me my stupidity, but I don’t really get how to implement this code.
Could you explain to which file in “wp-content/plugins/bbpress” should I add this piece of code?
Should I download any extra plugins?
Thanks!

Hi,

can somebody tell me which SQL entry I have to change (and in what way) so spectators can open new threads on my bbpress forums?

Thanks!

Hello,

I manage a website (missdots.com) and I’m having issues with my bbpress forum. I’m using wordpress 3.5.1 and bbpress 2.3.1

My issue is that whenever a new user registers to use the forum, they are sent an email with their password as is usual; however, when they go on the site to login, entering the login information does absolutely nothing. The topics and replies still carry the disclaimer “you must be logged in to create a new topic/ reply to this topic”. I’ve tried logging in using the test user I created on both the login page I created and a login widget, both to no avail.

Even when I’m logged in as the admin and can edit pages/posts/etc, it’s still telling me on the website that I must be logged in to use the forums.

I have the forum settings set so that the default user role is “participant” and the general setttings set so the default user role is “contributor”. (Also to keep my forum up and running right now, I have it set so that anyone can post w/o registering, although I’d like to ultimately not use this method)

Does anyone have any clues on how to fix this?

[Sam Rohn]

here’s a new plugin which may resolve this issue –

http://www.tehnik-design.com/bbpress-forum-permissions/

This plugin allows bbPress forums to be filtered and restricted based on the users ranks as set by the Members plugin.
The plugin will hide all forums and subforums the user does not have permissions to access.
It will display a 404 error if the user attempts to access restricted forum/topic

I have found a ticket in bbpress trac named Allow to post unfiltered HTML in Topics/Replies It is related to this issue?

[valuser]

bbpress 2.3.1, buddypress 1.7.1, wp 3.5.1 —-> theme on subsite p2 version 1.4.3 (tried twenty twelve same result)

On non-main blogs in my local multisite installation the bbpress widgets appear in the widgets admin area but do not to function (with the exception of stats,search, and login) or appear at all when put into the sidebar.

Appreciate that it could be down to my installation, however if anyone else has come across this i would be glad to know.

[AzureNinja99]

@greenshady Doesn’t that plugin make WordPress groups, not BBPress forum roles? I’m trying to do the same thing too.

Hi,

I am using DAP on my website. I tried to install bbpress 2.3.1 along-with DAP. As I installed bbpress, it takes me to an error page saying “You don’t have permissions to access this page”. Though I logged in as superadmin. I tried deactivating all my plugins. I checked the htaccess file as well but there is only the default code for permalinks. But nothing is working.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Sachin

Hello

I have the same problem also with the default theme. @johnjamesjacoby you can see an example here:

http://triangulodelasbermudas.net/editor/forums/topic/prueba-de-paste/

I have detailed in the replies the version of bbpress and you can see the result when copy from any web and paste to publish. The same problem when you apply any format like bold, italic…

The reply created with bbpress 2.3.1 is with the visual editor activated via adding the code to theme functions.php:

function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

With bbpress 2.2.4 all works fine.

Important Upgrade Notice: Version 2.0.0 only for bbPress 2.3 or higher!

Download the plugin from here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-search-widget/

Version 2.0.0 of this plugin was released recently, and it has the requirement of bbPress 2.3 or higher in order to work! That’s because bbPress 2.3+ comes with built-in search functionality.

My plugin now builds on top of that and this brings the end to theme & template issues for the search results, finally!
The plugin’s widget is now like an extended version of the regular search widget – you get up to 13 options for the widget and/ or search form – which are really cool, not only for support forums 🙂

Also, now there’s an additional SHORTCODE with a bbPress search form! You can add this Shortcode anywhere Shortcodes are supported. See FAQ for parameters and usage examples.

Further, a new feature I am really, really proud of, is a new Widgetized Content Area for “Not found” forum search results. This means you are not shown this lame & tiny “Oh bother…” message any longer but can customize this whole page via widgets! How cool is that? — This is optional! If this additional widget area has active widgets placed in it then it shows them on the frontend, if the area is empty, bbPress default behavior is displayd.

I hope you like the refactoring and the new features.

If you didn’t upgraded yet to bbPress 2.3+ you really should consider it’s worth it!

Thank you all users for using my plugin, for testing it, for all feedback! You guys rock!
–Dave 🙂

Sounds pretty strange. First things I’d do:

• Check which accounts might have moderator/super admin access
• Check trash/spam
• Check access logs, see if someone removed them</lill of>

All of bbPress’s trash/delete actions perform capability checks against the currently logged in user, so it’s impossible for an unauthorized user account to delete content inside of WordPress.

It’s also possible someone deleted all of the forum content without your knowledge, using the “Reset Forum” tool under Admin > Tools > Forums > Reset Forum

[John James Jacoby]

Sounds like you have a javascript error in your theme causing issues. Also, as a keymaster you’re allowed unfiltered HTML, but your regular users have limited access to HTML tags and attributes to prevent them from breaking the layout of your site.

What comes in bbPress 2.3.1 is exactly what we’re running here on bbpress.org.

I recently (on Monday) installed bbpress, and activated it. Right after activating it i got kicked out of my site. I can log in but i get the “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page” message. I logged in with my 2 admin accounts and still couldn’t get to the dashboard area. I deleted the plugin folder for bbpress through ftp but that didn’t do anything ( a note on this, when i go into phpmyadmin i still see entries referring to bbpress. like in with usermeta/wp_capabilites)
I have tried a number of things listed both here and on wordpress but nothing worked.
Does anyone have an idea as to how i can fix this. Please keep in mind i am not a programmer, but any help is greatly appreciated.

Dear smart guys,
I was a happy user of Buddypress with group forum. Recently, something miserable happened and Buddypress discontinued Group Forum which was working fine. Now i have to use this bbpress. It’s okay if it was working. After installed the bbpress plugin, now my forum is a blank page with Edit Post link. I can open forum topic from groups but when i click on Forums link from dashboard, it shows me the blank page. How to see the group forum back? It’s horrible experience. Something great stopped working makes me very disappointed. Could it be my mistake? Any hint will be so much appreciated. Some questions related to this problem seem unanswered. So i’m preparing myself not to get any reply.

Thank you from a desperate dude

[tizmo]

unfortunately, i’ve the same problem. I don’t know what was wrong to continue BP group forum. It was okay. Now it’s retired and i’m stuck with bbpress. When i click on Forums link, it shows me a blank page with Edit Post link. Why people stop thing that just works? Is it a bottleneck of using open source sotfware?
