For some strange reason, the list of “topics started” in the user profile does not work in Firefox. It works in IE, Safari and Chrome.

To see the problem, try this link in the several browers.

http://willbrownsberger.com/index.php/forums/users/rich-carlson/topics

In firefox, nothing is visible below the header “Forum Topics Started”, while in the other browsers, a topic list appears as expected.

The behavior is the same for the replies list. In this example, the user has no Favorites and the statement that there are no favorites does appear. In the case of a user with favorites, nothing shows.

So, I guess there is something in the source that generates list for this page that Firefox doesn’t like.

I’m on bbPress 2.2.3 and WordPress 3.5. I have a few theme modifications to bbpress in place, but not for this template and I had noticed that the problem was occurring before I made the modifications.

Baffled. Presumably, the source served to the browsers is all the same.

Any suggestions?

I am just checking out bbPress as possibility for including on a site I am developing for a social group I belong to. Is it possible to set a forum up so that any posts are moderated and approved before they are published?

bbPres ver: 2.2.3

I just started designing websites literally a week ago. I have been reading as much as I can to try to get up to speed. But this one is confusing. So I have decided to reach out to the experts!

1. Why does bbpress eat up so much resources on P3 plugin performance compared to my other plugins? Usually its responsible for .4-1 second of page load time on its own. Its a much bigger slice than the others.

2. Is there some kind of setting in bbpress that can improve this?

3. How would I go about hosting bbpress on another server and embedding it on my site?

I am using WP Super Cache if that matters. It does seem to speed it up.

Oh you of course will need CodeColorer plugin installed …

[Hansaplastique]

Never mind; figured it out (by coincidence).

If anyone is interested, add the following code to your wordpress functions.php;

function t4a_bbp_shortcodes( $content, $reply_id ) {
	return codecolorer_highlight( $content );
}
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_content', 't4a_bbp_shortcodes', 10, 2);
add_filter('bbp_get_topic_content', 't4a_bbp_shortcodes', 10, 2);

Have you found a solution to this problem?

I’m having the same issue. I used the [bbp-topic-form] shortcode in my `bbpress.php` template file. If I enter with my super-admin account I can see the form and create topics. But if I enter under the default “Participant” role, it gives me the message “You cannot create new topics.” However, if I go to a specific forum, the topic form is displayed underneath, so it must be a shortcode problem.

Right now I’m using `echo do_shortcode(“[bbp-topic-form]“);` to include the form in my template file. Is there a better way to do this?

Hey
I have an author page that is different to the default bbpress user page.
However I’d like to show the last forum topic a user started as well as their latest reply on that particular page. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks a lot.

[Hansaplastique]

I’d like to offer visitors the ability to use CodeColorer to syntax highlight their code.

I know that shortcodes are basically disabled for security reasons – which makes sense.

But how can I add a “safe” shortcode to bbpress?
The WP plugin bbPress2 Shortcode Whitelist and bbPress do shortcodes are not working (the latter even being risky at best).

I have a pre-installation question regarding the registration and login parts.

If I install the bbpress into my wordpress site – can I separate the registration and login from the actual wordpress registration and log in so the user doesn’t actually have an account on my wordpress site, but rather their account is only contained for the bbpress? I don’t have a blog or offer replies on my pages, so I have no need for people to create some user account on my site for that purpose. I do use a registration/login on my site, but that redirects users somewhere else away from my site.

So, can this be accomplished in bbpress?

Thanks in advance for your reply…

[Hansaplastique]

I was looking for a way to make sure forum posts are always edited in the WYSIWYG mode of the fancy editor, and found an easy solution to hide raw text (both tabs actually disappear with this) – in case someone is looking for this as well;

In the template files (only copy the files you need from wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress to your theme folder, into a folder called bbpress, for example wp-content/themes/mytheme/bbpress) you’ll find numerous calls to:

bbp_the_content( array( ‘context’ => ‘reply’ ) );

In your template files replace a call like this with (ie. add: ‘quicktags’ => false);

bbp_the_content( array( ‘context’ => ‘reply’, ‘quicktags’ => false ) );

The calls can be found in all form-xyz.php files.

I tried defining the language in wp-config. It had no effect.

So, to summarize… I’ve tried calling renaming my files bbpress.po & .mo and bbpress-en-US.po & .mo, I’ve tried them in /wp-content/languages/bbpress/ and in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/languages/ folders, and I’ve tried define (‘WPLANG’, ‘en-US’); in config.php.

Is there anything else I can try? The instructions linked above were for changing languages completely and I’m not looking to do that. I just want to relabel a bunch of the wording, changing “topics” to “questions” and so on.

Anyone know of anything else I can do to make that work?

Thanks!

I am trying to translate the bbpress plugin v2.2.3 to swedish.

I have followed this guide:
http://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/
But its not working 🙁

[Fyn]

There’s no bbpress folder in my theme folder, so that can’t be it.
I also downloaded bbPress und replaced the bbPress theme folder in the plugin directory to see if anything there was broken…
Well, I figured it works if I activate the twentytwelve theme. So something must be missing in mine.

Stephen,

Would you be able to help me learn how to turn off Debugging and perhaps tell me what that means?

Thanks…

Does anyone know if TinyMCE Advanced works with WP 3.5 and BBpress 2.2.3?

Thanks!

Hello.
I’m using Background Manager plugin for showing a background picture on my website. The plugin is up to date & working fine for all pages, less for user section of my bbpress.

For all the forum (http://www.styles.ro/forums/) background works, but when i enter user profile (http://www.styles.ro/forums/users/test/) the background picture disappear & showing a simple bg color with hex #111111

Any ideas? Thank you.

[Flyhead]

This sounds encouraging. I am running a standalone bbpress forum v1.02, so does it mean that it can simply install WordPress, then install this latest version of bbpress and I can import from there all my existing forums, user datas and threads? Would all the urls correspond with the old ones?

[Lynq]

The only thing I can think of is that there is some template files that are overriding the default bbPress theme and they are erroring because of some custom function or have no actual code in them.

Have you had a look in your theme folder to see if there is a bbpress folder, is there any files inside that folder?

[A.I. Sajib]

Hi,

No, WordPress permalink isn’t affecting bbpress forum posts. It’s taking its slugs from the topic title instead of using post-id.

[Lynq]

Just to clarify, your wordpress permalinks are already set as /post-id/{id} and bbPress is not using this permalink structure? I am not sure if bbPress is setup to be able to use a different permalink structure…

[Lynq]

@anointed This uses the same functions that teamoverpowered.com uses, plus it only creates a couple of custom functions, these custom functions all use built in bbPress functions to retrieve any data, no custom queries.

@dramaticbaby This is something I am currently looking into, unfortunately it is not as easy as it sounds, i’ll keep you informed if I get round to updating the theme with this.

I will probably look at re doing the whole theme for the main forum view, sub forum view and topic view, make that nice and slick and fluid then move onto some profile pages and stuff.

[Kasparas]

Thanks, didn’t notice blog 🙂

[Shane Gowland]

bbPress uses WordPress’ database to store its data. Specifically, the wp-posts table.

[midnighz]

Thanks for reply @Johnjamesjacoby

So, now I should try to query it from database.
I’ve found this post, https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/display-a-list-of-recent-topics/

Can I ask you a simple dump question? (because I’m really newbie here and I want to finish my work as soon as posible 🙁 )
Where is bbPress database located? Or how can I access to modify it?

I’ve look around in my phpMyadmin but it has only WordPress database.

Thank you again for help. 🙂
