Thank you John. I must admit bbPress is somewhat a mystery to me. Can you please guide me to where I need to go to make the adjustments?
Thanks

Calling is_user_logged_in() in a plugin’s init file causes bbPress to error

Plugins shouldn’t be calling any user related functions until after the user is actually loaded. The soonest place you can do this is on the ‘init’ action; doing it sooner is `_doing_it_wrong()` and will cause other hidden issues in your installation later. bbPress provides that debug notice to let you know your approach was incorrect.

Hi, I updated bbPress to 2.3 and now have bullet points on the forums page. These were not on the page before the update. The website is still under development – http://burnieworks.com/ (I am using WordPress 3.5.1)
Does any one have any idea why these bullet points are appearing?
Thanks,
John

forgot to say, i am logged in as the super admin and looking at the user list shows my forum role as empty. I guess that’s the problem, my user wasn’t assigned the keymaster role.

I am having the same problem. My bbpress was fine before upgrading to 2.3. My site has a ton of plugins, but I don’t have any of the same plugins listed above. I tried deactivating all but bbpress and changing my theme to twenty twelve and it still doesn’t show. I’m thinking it must be something with old user permissions from bbpress 2.2.x or some option maybe that is interfering.

Upon update to bbPress 2.3, I appeared to lose a considerable amount of my style customizations. To isolate the issue, I manually enqueued [theme]\css\bbpress.css, and all styling returned. So, it appears that the issue is merely that this file is not getting enqueued by bbPress.

As it turns out: I have a bbpress-functions.php file in [theme]\bbpress, which was taking precedence over the Plugin’s templates\default\bbpress-functions.php file, which handles the stylesheet and script enqueueing.

Apparently, unlike with WordPress Child Themes, in which the Child Theme functions.php merely loads *prior* to the template (Parent Theme) functions.php, with bbPress Theme compat, if the Theme includes \bbpress\bbpress-functions.php, that file will take *precedence* over the Plugin’s \templates\default\bbpress-functions.php file, and prevent it from loading at all.

The solution is simple: if you include a functional file (e.g. for adding/removing various filters) as part of your bbPress Theme compat, don’t include it as [theme]\bbpress\bbpress-functions.php file. In my case, I renamed that file as [themename]-bbpress-functions.php, and the problem was resolved.

Hopefully this will help someone else who encounters the same issue.

@ashleykurtzman, have you checked your apache error logs? wonder if anything interesting is getting logged there (normally at /var/log/apache2/error.log).

Do you have access to your SMTP client/server logs that bbpress would be using to send the emails? There could also be interesting errors being logged there…

For some reason, the following code no longer works after 2.3. It worked it RC1, but not in the final version.

`#sidebar .bbpress {
width: 250px;
}`

I’ve also tried. #sidebar .forum -.-

Until the author updates the moderation plugin you may be able to try Spam Destroyer. I have no personally used it but I’ve heard others have had success with it.

[Jared Atchison]

Do you have the bbPress Moderation plugin activated?

[Jared Atchison]

`
$user = get_userdata( $user_id );
$registerdate = $user->user_registered;
echo date(“Y-m-d”, strtotime($registerdate));
`

You should be able to place the bbPress author ID where the $user_id is if you are using this in a loop.

[perineo]

i can confirm that it works for me

I’m also having an issue. When someone posts, the post goes through, but it takes them to an error screen. Now in addition the email notifications aren’t going out. I had been using https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-notify/ which had been working until recently. I also tried https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-new-topic-notifications/ with no luck.

Hi Everyone,

I set up BBPress on a friend’s website, http://blog.photographersadventureclub.com.

Until the recent 2.3 update, everything was fine. For some reason now the admin tabs no longer show: Forum & Threads. However, BBPress options do show under the Tools and Settings tabs. There is just no way to create new forums and moderate threads from the backend now.

Running WP 3.5.1 with the following active plugins:

Akismet
AutoChimp
bbPress
CSV User Import
Custom Login Logo Lite

FancyBox for WordPress

Any help would be appreciated!

Calling is_user_logged_in() in a plugin’s init file causes bbPress to error (Cheatin’ uh?) in the admin when trying to manage anything to do with the forums (settings, forums, threads, replies).

Makes no sense to me.

Hello everyone,

bbPress Moderation plugin breaks the latest version of bbPress 2.3, so I had to uninstall it. But I can’t stay without moderation, I’ll be spammed to death. Can anyone suggest another moderation plugin that works with the latest version of bbPress?

Thanks!

[smithgt]

Thanks – been looking for that answer myself 🙂

Hi there,

I’ve got a forum that doesn’t show, I believe it is a theme issue as default wordpress theme works okay, I’m running ExtremeSport 2.0 from http://smthemes.com/ ( http://smthemes.com/extremesport/ )

It worked okay with 2.2.4 I’m not sure where to start looking for the issue (I’m a c# developer by trade 🙂 ).

[mattrzz80]

I recently integrated the bbpress forum plugin on my website, and it is producing an unnecessarily long permalink structure: http://www.logos-think.com/forums/forum/christian-forum/

Any ideas as how to shorten this to just ../christian-forum/?

[kraigg]

@ovizii

How I got it working was to set the Forum Role for all existing users (non-admin) to ‘Participant’. I did this in Dashboard > Users > All Users, then found the users that had no forum roles. Once I changed these users to ‘Participant’ they were then able to post again.

To automate this process, I set ‘Participant’ as the default forum role for users. I did this in Settings > Forums
“Default user role”: Participant
“Auto role”: (tick) Automatically assign default role to new, registered users upon visiting the site.

However I think this problem may have been fixed in the latest bbPress

[acousticwebdesign]

I tried upgrading but I’m experiencing some really strange issues. First of all, there is no longer an “Edit” admin link so I can’t test that the issue still exists. Was this the solution?

Secondly, I’m having a really weird problem with my styles after the upgrade. I think the framework is choking somewhere during the request but no errors are displayed. It looks like many of my bbpress-related styles are not being applied.

If I turn on debug mode, the problem goes away and everything displays as normal. But as soon as I turn it off again, it gets screwed up somewhere. Weird!

I know my stylesheet is being loaded and some of the styles are being applied properly, but some aren’t and the one’s that aren’t don’t even show up in firebug with a line through the middle saying they’ve been overridden, they just aren’t appearing at all. I’ve never seen anything like this before.

I’ve tried disabling all other plugins, no luck. Any idea what’s going on here.

Hi all,

I am not quite sure which forum to post this in as I am new to using BBPress for my wordpress installations. I am trying to customize my BBPress installation with the avatar display. I would like to have the avatars only show for the posts inside the topic. They are currently showing up on the forum index, etc. and I am having trouble trying to track down where in the .php files these settings may be located. Can anyone give me some help? I’m looking to just turn these off if possible.

I have posted some photos linking illustrating what i am talking about.

BBPress

bbpress 2.3
Wordpress 3.5.1
Theme is Pure from Themeloom

[nadir]

I have a fresh install of bbpress/buddypress setup. I have created groups and group forums with buddypress.

I then took an existing phpbb3 install, flattened out the structure so all the forums are on one level, and imported them successfully into my new bbpress/buddypress setup.

Now, I’d like start mass moving some of those imported forums into existing group forums. I was looking at the “postmeta” table and I see the post_id, meta_key, and meta_value … where I see bbp_forum_id, I identified the appropriate IDs of each forum and did a mass update on the table to swap out IDs. However, that didn’t work … any idea what else I’m missing here?

[aero.roger77]

http://www.andersen-monge.com/forum/

 

I would like to find out whats the problem with the first site cause thats the site where I need a forum

[felixpage]

I have tested with Twenty Eleven and Twenty Twelve and It doesn’t work. There is no topics and forums count (it shows 0).
