[FlipFlop]

Hi guys,

I’d like to alter the ouput in the Freshness column, as you can see in the code below, bbpress knows the latest forum post in any one forum and links to it if you click the Freshness link, in this case ‘4days 2 hours ago’. Instead of it outputting 4 days 2 hours I’d like it to show the title of the post.

I think I need to edit the bbp-header but I don’t know where to find this.

Can anybody help me do this please?

Thank you!

When logging-in using the login widget, the page is redirected to the page where I last logged-out!

It’s happening on one site but not another – is this likely to be an .htaccess issue?

Note: for the problem site, wordpress is installed in a sub-directory.

Thanks,

Andy

Hello everyone,
I have searched very much regarding a plugin which enables members to decide whether or not they want to post anonymous in specific forums/categories for bbPress.
But It doesn’t seem to be any plugin like this.
I know that bbPress has settings which make none-logged in users to post anonymous, but that is not what I want. I want logged in members have the possibility to post anonymous in specifik forums.

If there is not such a plugin I am thinking of creating one since I have PHP and mySQL skills, but I am new to WP and bbPress so it might take a while to understand how everything works.

Is there any guidance where I can begin for creating a plugin?

Regards

[jasoncoffee]

oh thanks! It went smoothly. We are golden! Now I have a question about URL structure that I just posted in a separate topic. Thank you for the help!

[jasoncoffee]

Ok,  Step one is complete. I am all done with the installation and it went very smooth.

Now I want to change my URL structure to the same as my old forums and preserve my ranking in the search engines. What is the best way to accomplish this? Please note that I have Simple Press (where I moved the content from) installed on the same wordpress installation as bbpress.

While I am also experiencing the create group topics issue already documented on other threads, this issue sounds more like the one @sydneydesigner noted a couple of months ago. However, his workaround does not work for me, and you will see why below.

Issue background:

My client’s site has BuddyPress installed alongside bbPress. They want group forums as an option within BuddyPress groups.

In order to use bbPress for this functionality, I have unchecked Discussion Forums within the BuddyPress settings and enabled the Allow BuddyPress Groups to have their own forums option under the bbPress forums settings (Settings > Forums > BuddyPress section).

What’s happening:

When I navigate to a BuddyPress group admin and go to enable forums for it, I see the following (image link):

However, when I check the box and click Save Settings, nothing happens. Looking at the html for the page reveals the following:

• Gist
• screenshot

It appears that the form tag(s) are missing, so there is nothing there to POST against.

I was able to enable/disable the option by temporarily switching the theme to the BuddyPress default theme and saving the setting that way. It does not appear to work from client’s normal theme, however.

Doing some digging, the edit_screen() function found in bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/group.php seems to generate the checkbox and text for enabling/disabling a group forum, while the form element that should be there looks like it’s from the groups/single/admin.php template file.

Does anyone have any insight into why the form element wouldn’t be loaded into this group admin page?

Version information:

WordPress version: 3.5.1
bbPress version: 2.2.4
BuddyPress version: 1.6.4
Genesis Connect for BuddyPress version: 1.2
bbPress Genesis Extend version: 0.8.4
Genesis version: 1.9.1
Genesis Child Theme: Blissful version 1.0

Hi there.

I’m using the latest plugin version of bbPress, WP 3.5.1, and BuddyPress 1.6.4 and I have a question for you:

Does the code I found here still work, as that was posted almost one and a half years ago?

Plus if it does work, how do I modify it to show only certain forums (cause I’m using the Membership plugin from WPMU DEV to control access to a few which are for premium members only)?

Thanks in advance for the help,
Nathan P.

This sounds like its related to https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2085

There is a patch included with the upcoming bbPress 2.3

If you want to test this and make sure it is working for bbPress 2.3 go download bbPress 2.3 beta 2 and test it out with your setup. https://bbpress.org/blog/2013/02/bbpress-2-3-beta-2/

(Another discussion thread on the issue is here.)

[Stephen Edgar]

You need to use the correct values from your wp-config.php file

eg. $table_prefix = 'wp_'; = wp_ in the bbPress Table Prefix: field. (You used MyDatabaseName in ‘Table Prefix’

Also if you are using the same WordPress install as your existing SimplePress install you don’t need to convert the users as they are already exist, so uncheck the convert users checkbox.

[jasoncoffee]

I input the info found in the place you suggested above and when I ran it got this error.

WordPress database error: [Table ‘MyDatabaseName.users’ doesn’t exist]SELECT convert(users.ID USING "utf8") AS ID,convert(users.user_pass USING "utf8") AS user_pass,convert(users.user_login USING "utf8") AS user_login,convert(users.user_nicename USING "utf8") AS user_nicename,convert(users.user_email USING "utf8") AS user_email,convert(users.user_url USING "utf8") AS user_url,convert(users.user_registered USING "utf8") AS user_registered,convert(users.user_status USING "utf8") AS user_status,convert(users.display_name USING "utf8") AS display_name FROM users AS users LIMIT 0, 100

[Stephen Edgar]

Ha…. Make sure to select ‘SimplePress’ from the menu and not ‘Example’ 😉

[jasoncoffee]

• Database Name: Name of the database with your old forum data

I am ultra noob. I don’t even know the definition of Database. I need dummy instructions if possible.  does this mean go using my login and pw from my host?…

 

[Stephen Edgar]

It is all in the docs (I hope)…

[jasoncoffee]

Noob questions. What do I put for Database name and user? my host (godaddy) info or my wordpress info? or neither? lol

[jasoncoffee]

oic thanks.

[jasoncoffee]

I am using a fresh download of bbpress 2.2.4

[Stephen Edgar]

@jasoncoffee My bad, I just updated the post above with a link to the bbPress 2.3 beta 2.

[peripatew]

For each week, I’ll have posts title like this in a forum:
Monday Morning
Monday Evening
Tuesday Morning
Tuesday Evening
Wednesday ”
Wednesday ”
Thursday ”
Thursday ”
Friday ”
Friday ”

I want to hide/archive/move these out of the forum each week, as the next week will have posts with the same name. Within Vanilla Forum’s, I could just archive posts that were _TIME_ old. What’s the easiest way to do that within bbPress? I’ll be needing to do this each week, for all the forums on my site (just a few now, but more each week).

If there’s a better workflow for this, let me know!

[jasoncoffee]

I am looking under Import and I am not seeing SimplePress5 as an option.

[michaellanfield]

bbpress version 2.2.4
website http://www.michaellanfield.com
forum page http://www.michaellanfield.com/?post_type=forum

Just a question
As I am doing now, I would like the categories to appear in the main forum page under each main forum. How to do this?

Another question is. The forum fonts are way too small. How do I make them a little larger?
Also I want to be able to delete the forums main title right above actual forum. Not the menu forum link, just the page title, but I do not want to remove all website page titles. Thank you.

[jeffacubed]

@ashenkargmailcom – I’m going to take a fresh crack at all of this next week (Feb 25+). For now ‘network enabling’ bbpress ‘works’ but like we’ve already discussed in the other thread/topic not exactly a robust sol’n, more of an awkward, potentially dangerous band-aid imho. I plan to make a 100% mirror of a clients production site (wp_ms 3.5.1, bp 1.6.4, bbp 2.2.3) & see if I can’t figure out exactly what’s happening on the groups > topics front, as in why new topics/replies can’t be created within the actual buddypress group > forum.

Stay tuned,
Jeff

I just got it to work. I needed to rename items similar to @gregfielding.

1. edit the file bbpress.pot file in poedit.
2. create the folder “bbpress” in the wordpress content languages folder. Make the languages folder if you need to so your path looks like this: wp-content/languages/bbpress
3. save the edited bbpress.pot file as bbpress-en_US.po
4. upload the created po and mo files to the bbpress folder in lanugaes. reset your cashe to see it working

Greg it looks like you were close but you have a dash instead of an underscore in the filename. I’m assuming the filename is also case sensitive.

I just created a site and installed bbpress forums along with contact form 7 and contact form db. After a user registers for the forums, it sends them an email with their passwords. The only problem is that they can’t change their passwords after that as they cannot access their profile pages. Is there a way for me to implement a “profile” option as a page and then install it in top menu?

I just upgraded to wp 3.5.1 and the new bbpress in one go.. unfortunately, none of the user pages or user edit profile pages work at all… blank white screen, no 404, server error… eek! My website is http://www.humandalas.com/forum/

If I can’t get it working, which php file can I edit or how to create a hook? so the “bbp-topic-freshness-author” links go to an author page instead.
