Cool… I will try to focus everything else with bbPress as the goal and try not to break your current 1.2 site 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

I started typing a reply with lots of in depth bits and pieces but knowing what your end goal is in the following regard will make things alot easier for both of us:

Get bbPress 1.2 fully operational? OR fully upgrade to the bbPress 2.x plugin?

FYI: BackPress’ is used for the SQL stuff and the ‘pomo’ is for language stuff.

Hi April,

I have the same issue. I see it got fixed on your website, even though you got no answer here: how did you do it?

[talkingD0G]

WordPress version: 3.5.1
bbpress version: 2.2.4
http://cchfh.org/test

I created a user role called Board using “members” plugin and assigned all roles shown here for participant (http://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/#participant)

I set the WordPress General settings, New User Default Role, to Board.

I set the Default role for the Forum to Participant.

I created a test user account which is set to Board and Participant. When I login with that account and go to the test page the forum doesn’t show up. But it does show up with my Admin role account.

What am I doing wrong?

[Kitty Kilian]

Yup, I just switched over from SimplePress to BBPress and I have this issue.
I switched off all plugins except Premise – which I need to give my students entrance to the member site – and nothing gives. They still get the 404.

Well here’s what i’m trying to do..

I want to show an images below usernames in my bbpress forums, based on the WordPress role of each forum poster.

Here’s what i figured out so far:

– I found out that i need to edit loop-single-reply.php to show something under username.
– I figured out (i think :P) that bp_get_reply_author_id() is the string that gets the details of the bbpress poster.

Now here’s what i got so far:

global $current_user;
bp_get_reply_author_id();
switch (true) {
case ( user_can( $current_user, “subscriber”) ):
echo ‘image’;
break;
case ( user_can( $current_user, “contributor”) ):
echo ‘image’;
break;
case ( user_can( $current_user, “administrator”) ):
echo ‘image’;
break;
}

My code doesn’t work. I cannot get it to show an image based on the WP role (not bbpress) of the user. Can anyone help?

s2member works great w bbpress, it is the only wordpress membership plugin i could find that supports both paypal subscriptions & wordpress user roles, and works well with plugins like user role editor and justin tadlocks’s members which allow assigning custom capabilities to wordpress user roles

No too much time and effort (and a few dollars) spent with Wishlist now to change it. bbPress has only just been added, so although I’d prefer to stick with bbPress I might be forced to go with Simple:Press.

[wpmhweb]

Hello, I am trying to customize the new bbPress theme by copying the bbpress and css folder to my primary site theme. But I find too complicate and time consuming hunting down parts of the theme I want to remove or modify. Is there an easy way to figure which is the file template I have to open to remove or modify part the theme?

Thanks,

[wpmhweb]

Thanks, but what I was trying to say is: if I want to add a banner or a piece of code to the bbPress theme, in which file can I paste the code so it shows in the whole forum’s site? So I don’t have to repeat the code over and over.

Thank you 🙂

[Michael Macliver]

Thanks. Yes I’ve been working hard on the WishList front but I thought someone over here might have found/created a solution.

I’m just creating a new web site so I have some flexibility. If you had an older version of bbPress and Wishlist working on an existing site you’d be stuck.

I was using bbpress 2.2.4 with buddypress 1.7 everything was fine, I removed 2.2.4 and installed bbpress 2.3 beta 2 and all topics disappear, so I removed them and post new ones but they show up in all the group forums, not just the one i posted in.

Im not sure what the problem is.

I did not get any replys in the other forum so im posting here

Hi All,

I’m using the latest version of bbPress plugin.

I don’t see any forum roles such as: Keymaster, moderator etc. when I’m editing or adding a user. Any idea what might be wrong?

Thanks

Hello Kamlesh, send me your email address I will send you email with the example.

[clickmac]

wordpress version: 3.5.1
bbpress version: 2.2.4
link to site: http://www.trottyzone.com/forums/

I have a responsive theme, as you can see i have trouble with bbpress font-size responding to width of window.
when u make the width of the window smaller, the “topics” “post” “freshness” gets jumbled all together.

how can i change the font-size to respond to change of width of window?

[geoffm]

I’ve just changed the ‘freshness text’ – the files to change are, in fact, loop-forums.php and loop-topics-php.

There is also a plug to do this but currently it won’t change the freshness string, though it says it will. It does change other strings though. It’s bbpress string swap.

Hello

We’ve been using bbpress almost since the beginning, and we currently have a quite big forum.

Site is this http://iphonefan.com forum is here http://iphonefan.com/foro as you can see it’s also quite modded and customized.

So upgrading was not something we did frequently, but a recent necessary php and mysql upgrade forced us to upgrade our wordpress and bbpress. WordPress upgrade went ok, but bbpress was a problem since we just learned it moved from being a standalone version to a plugin version.

Since the problem we had was the the recent php and mysql brought some error like these:

`Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/ifans/public_html/foro/bb-settings.php on line 186

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/ifans/public_html/foro/bb-includes/backpress/functions.wp-object-cache.php on line 108

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/ifans/public_html/foro/bb-includes/backpress/pomo/mo.php on line 171

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/ifans/public_html/foro/bb-includes/backpress/class.wp-taxonomy.php on line 581`

Import from 1.0.2 (our latest forum version) to latest bbpress was a nightmare (duplicated forums, topics, posts. Stalled conversions and so on). So looking for advice here ate bbpress forums found that it could be easier if I upgraded first from 1.0.2 to 1.2. I downloaded the legacy version, the backpress files (whatever they were) and the “pomo” folder (also don’t know what it is).

We decided to try to upgrade to 1.2 as suggested. Everything went fine, uploaded files helped, the errors didn’t show in this version, next step was going to the admin panel and upgrade the database, clicked the “upgrade database” button and then another error.

`Network Error (tcp_error)

A communication error occurred: “Operation timed out”
The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.

For assistance, contact your network support team.`

I can’t tell what’s happening, I’ve tried to increase the maximum execution time, the php memory, nothing worked so far.

What can I do? how can I upgrade the database without this timeout error? is it possible to do it through shell? Is a setting I need to move in my server?

Please help!

[Hesam]

Try this:

`
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();

echo ‘You are logged in as ‘. $current_user->user_login . ‘‘;
`

After a week of testing I finally found the problem. I notice that when I change the user role to Editor and Administrator the editor works perfectly on both the backend and frontend.

I will see if if we can reproduce this though now I am confused as to now you are inferring that all of this is based upon you using Ultimate TinyMCE.

So i installed the User Role Editor plugin and checked the Unfiltered HTML setting and not everything works fine except for the fact that a message shows up for all users:

“Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content.” – how can i get rid of it?

You enabled that setting, disable that setting and the message goes away!

As to what HTML tags you allow that is up to you and none that you list above should be of a security concern.

@nitroblood This is fixed for 2.3 (details here)

You can download bbPress 2.3 beta 2 from here if you want to confirm it fixes your issues.

Hi,

I’m having some troubles to customize bbpress to my specific theme.
I really don’t have the time to figure it out all by myself.

Therefore I’m willing to pay a person here on this forum to help customize it to my website.

Thinks to be done:
– Main forum page does not show.
– Translation to Swedish (You don’t need to speak swedish only know how to copy the language file from wordpress into bbpress.)
– And a few other things. More info if interested.

So do you have the experience to fix this for me? Send me a message and we can discuss the deal.

[akgt]

Hello,

I would like to add, let’s say a link, at the top of all bbPress pages. In which file can I do this so I don’t have to be adding the same piece of code in every file manually, and only in the bbpress, not throughout the actual site.

Thanks,

[rizingsun]

Hello folks,

I’ve been having a problem with my Buddypress MulitSite after installing bbPress. (Initial thread http://buddypress.org/support/topic/lost-the-ability-to-add-member-moderator-and-other-user-roles-in-my-site/)

On a subsite I created a while ago, on the “Add New User” page (http://sub1.example.com/wp-admin/user-new.php) I can add a new user while assigning their role as: Admin, Editor, Author, Keymaster, Member, Blocked, Inactive, etc

But on another subsite I created today, on the same “Add New User” page, the only roles I can assign to a new user are: Subscriber, Administrator, Editor, Author, Contributor.

Just those 5.

The only change I made in between was installing bbPress.

One thing I just noticed is that for the “functioning” subsites (where I can see “all” the roles), under the users page (http://sub1.example.com/wp-admin/users.php), the admin is also the keymaster.

In the new sites being created (without “all” the user roles), the admin is not the keymaster in the user page. In fact, there is no keymaster.

So does this problem stem from bbpress? I only recently installed BB-Press plugin, before the problems began. So I’m assuming this might be the problem. I network deactivated it, but the problem still stands.

Any ideas how I can fix this?

Any theories?
