OK, in the end I did this:
– created a new ‘create new topic’ page following the instructions here:
– created a link in to the new page the wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-archive-topic.php

anyone else have this issue?

[jason102178]

I also have tried this method with no avail didnt work

Embedding YouTube and other media clips in 2.1

[jason102178]

WordPress Version: 3.5
BBpress Version: 2.3

I know this question has been asked alot on how to embed video and add youtube videos, I know how to do this by simply posting the link in the topic…. and it will automatically insert the youtube video…

But my problem is i want to have a few video tutorials that i want to insert and the mp3 or mp4 files are located on my server, i dont want to upload them to youtube…

so i was wondering if their was a way to use my own videos, i have already tried inserting the link that points to my server http://mysite.com/video.mp3 and it will not work that way..

So i tried creating a topic from the admin and use the insert media and it did not work that way , then i tried using a plugin to allow jw player shortcode and it did not work that way either… this is one of the plugins i tried using http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress2-shortcode-whitelist/ with no sucess…

Then i tried adding this code to my functions.php

add_filter(‘bbp_reply_content’, ‘jwplayer_tag_callback’);
add_filter(‘entry_content’, ‘jwplayer_tag_callback’);
add_filter(‘bbp-reply-content’, ‘jwplayer_tag_callback’);
add_filter(‘entry-content’, ‘jwplayer_tag_callback’);

this method did not work, it seems almost impossible to add my own video from my server, most the topics are super old 3 to 4 yrs old which really doesnt apply to the latest version of bbpress since so much of the code has changed, if someone could help me out or point me in the right direction i would appreciate it…

I am not trying to let my users be able to use shortcodes as i read they are a security risk and i am not trying to let my users be able to upload or use their own videos from a strange server..

I just want to be able to use my own videos instead of using youtube.

I recently installed bbpress on my site (great plug-in, by the way). I’m currently working out the kinks.

One of my biggest problems is that the search function doesn’t work. See http://www.churchofficehelpdesk.com/test where I’m using the shortcode. I’ve used words that I know are on the site. Not only do they not show up, but “sorry, no results were found appears multiple times on the results page.”

Thanks for any help!

Just nstalled plugin and activated but when I click on “settings” it takes me here http://shgww.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress which is a blank white page…???

Latest versions of everything.

I uninstalled bbpress from a multisite wordpress 3.5.1 installation, but the bbpress roles have stuck around and show up in my admin dashboard. How do I get rid of them? (I do not intend to use bbpress at this time, so I don’t need to save any bbpress settings).

Thanks!

Hello,

I recently upgraded from the old version of bbPress that comes with BuddyPress to the bbPress plugin, and I’m using version 2.3 of the bbPress plugin.

Previously when using BuddyPress and the old version of bbPress, from the topics page (which showed all the topics across all groups), I could see a Create New Topic form at the bottom of the page which would allow me to select a group from the list of groups that are available to me and create a new topic in that group.

Unfortunately, since upgrading to the bbPress plugin, this form is now gone.

I was told that I could add the form back by adding a shortcode to the topics page in my theme, but it’s not clear to me which particular page I need to change. Note that I only want this form to appear on the topics page.

Can anyone help me get this Create New Topic form back?

How do I shift the new bbpress search bar to another place?
lets say I’m thinking of shifting the search bar to a 2nd navbar?

[alexis.nomine]

As is_bbpress() doesn’t work within the bbp_theme_compat_actions hook, the solution would be to conditionnaly remove bbp_head and bbp_enqueue_scripts. It’s a bit more extreme but it works:

`add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘conditional_bbpress_head’, 9 );
function conditional_bbpress_head(){
if( !is_bbpress() )
remove_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘bbp_head’ );
}
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘conditional_bbpress_scripts’, 9 );
function conditional_bbpress_scripts(){
if( !is_bbpress() )
remove_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘bbp_enqueue_scripts’ );
}`

For some reason when I log into my dashboard under Settings I no longer see Forums as an option. If I go to the plugins page and click BBpress settings from there I get a permission error. Also when I view WordPress users the Forum roles are blank for all my users. I recently deleted one of my admin users and think this might be the problem. Is there a way to verify forum roles via the mysql db?

[TrishaM]

OK I finally have the first part completed by following your excellent instructions (thank you) – I’ve removed all the forums, topics, and replies from my database…..but naturally they are still *there* in the (old) bb_ tables, just no longer in my wp_posts or wp_postmeta tables.

This shrunk the size of my database considerably – from 30MB down to 8MB……BUT I still can’t get my backup to import to a new clean database (as a safeguard), even if I zip it……I get the “mySQL server has gone away” message, which tells me it’s timing out. I sent a message to my hosting company’s tech support (1&1) to ask that they increase the mysql.connect_timeout setting, but haven’t heard back yet…..and they may not do it, but hopefully they will.

I’m still reluctant to try importing my forums/topics/replies again until I’m certain that I can restore from a backup in the event of a disaster, so now I’m trying to export and import tables one at a time into a new database…..when I get to the bbPress tables I’ll import those to yet another new (temporary) database and keep them away from my wp_ tables……

That may take me a couple of days since I have to work on this at night….but I WILL be back with my results soon!

Hi,

Just installed bbpress today and had exactly the same problem.
In my case, I realized that was a problem with Advanced Access Manager Plugin.

If you have it installed go to capabilities and add to the Admin/Super-admin role the capabilities to manage forums/topics…

Hope this helps!

I am in the same boat. Not sure if it is a BuddyPress issue or bbPress. When I create a new group, there is no option to change the group avatar, and of course after the fact there is no option either.

When you create a new group, how many “Steps” does it take you through? Doe it even give you a group avatar option?

[Jeff Farthing]

Hmmm… It looks like bbPress has reincorporated the bbp_code_trick functions itself, eh? I guess there’s my answer.

[John Parris]

A note to anyone that might be having 404 problems with non-admins, yet this time in version 2.3.

I fixed the problem by doing the following in the WP admin:

Tools > Forums > Remap existing users to default forum roles

[Jeff Farthing]

I haven’t dug deep enough yet, but on my support forum, I use the quicktags solution from the legacy bbPress, including the filters to allow regular users to post code. That is, the functions that were named bbp_code_trick, bbp_code_trick_reverse, bbp_encodeit, bbp_decodeit.

However, since the 2.3 upgrade, all code users post has the quotes (possibly other things) escaped in both the topic body and the editable text area.

Any ideas what changed, so that I don’t have to dig through?

[Jeff Farthing]

Yes, I figured this out on my own.

[Ganzuelo]

I am using a custom bbpress template that came with my the template. I am having an issue that when you post a video link the video breaks the template. Where can I fix this in the css?

[John James Jacoby]

Enable the Fancy Editor in your forum settings.

[John James Jacoby]

Unfortunately, this won’t scale very well. Notifications and Favorites are stored in a serialized array is usermeta, and keeping track of every topic will eventually slow things down significantly.

Instead, I’d filter `bbp_is_user_subscribed` and invert the results. That way you’re subscribed to all topics, and bbPress only stores the topics your users are not subscribed to.

Make this into a plugin:

`function invert_subscribe( $is_subscribed ) {
return ! $is_subscribed;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_is_user_subscribed’, ‘invert_subscribe’ );`

Apologies if this is considered cross-posting, as this appears as a reply to another thread (but that other thread title isn’t similar). The other thread is… http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/non-functional-index-page-when-bbpress-2-1rc4-is-used-with-woothemes-canvas-5-05/#post-133638

Ok, so newbie here who knows html and understands coding but is really keen to not screw up the site that someone else has built for me (so apologies if the answer is above and I’m not seeing it).

The site is http://www.heavenlyz.com and, I think, I’m using the “Nollie” theme.

I’ve installed bbpress, created a couple of forums and – via the great info on this thread – created a page called “Boardroom”, into which I’ve inserted the “[bbp-forum-index]” shortcode. Hey presto, after much head scratching, I can now see a forum index on http://www.heavenlyz.com/boardroom/…woohoo

But, my next challenge is to be able to open one of the forums shown. Am struggling with this.

Having searched, the most relevant answer seems to be… http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/non-functional-index-page-when-bbpress-2-1rc4-is-used-with-woothemes-canvas-5-05/#post-133638

If you think there is a better (read “easier” 🙂 solution, then please suggest but if not, please read on…

Because I am using the Nollie theme – I think – the parent/ child argument in that thread doesn’t apply, so am looking at changing the root page.php only (to be honest, I wouldn’t know how to work out whether the child page exists/ how to find the child page).

In the thread linked to above, Lab says

Next, change the entry div as shown, to modify the current conditional check to ALSO see if you are on a bbPress page. Without this extra bit, it assumes that you want the page to show the_excerpt() on every page other than single.php …. not true. We want full content on bbPress pages as well

But my page.php says…

ID, ‘mfn-post-layout’, true) ) {
case ‘left-sidebar’:
$class = ‘ with_aside aside_left’;
break;
case ‘right-sidebar’:
$class = ‘ with_aside aside_right’;
break;
default:
$class = ”;
break;
}
?>

Where’s the “entry div”? Apologies if this is a laughably stupid question.

All help appreciated. N.b. As I’m learning, to start with, I’d rather keep the changes simple and effective rather than complex and golden.
