Would I be able to have a user that is an Editor be able to create forums? I made this user a Keymaster, but it looks like I have to grant the user the ‘manage_options’ capability to get the Forums menu item to show. Is there another way? Thanks.

I would like to try this but I am having some trouble figuring out how to edit the example.php. Are there any instructions for this besides the comments?

Here is the file for reference: http://pastebin.com/MgUCdDp5

Here is the database structure from within phpmyadmin:
` wp_forum_forums
id
name
parent_id
description
views
sort
wp_forum_groups
id
name

usergroups

If anyone can take a moment to help me get started here it would be very much appreciated. I’m happy to provide any other information that may be helpful, so please just ask.

Howdy! Try:

`#bbpress-forums li.bbp-topic-freshness {
text-align: right;
}`

Hi!
I just updated to bbpress 2.2.3 I have buddypress using bbpress sitewide forums. Using current wordpress version with buddypress default theme and my own custom made child theme.

Updating caused some style problems. I think I had edited some css and forgotten that I did. So I discovered I should copy bbpress.css into my theme. I have done this and have gotten rid of the awful bullets by setting #bbpress-forums to list-style:none.

I need to align LI.bbp-topic-freshness to the right to get rid of a large margin being caused by it aligning center. I told it to align right and it didn’t cooperate! What should I try now????

The site is http://rheum4us.org however the forum is private using the membership plugin.
Thanks for any help!

Well you always take a backup before you do anything, so that is not a problem. If it does not work, just restore.

You get white screen after upgrading to 1.2? That sounds alarming to me. I cannot risk that. I have users and alot of content. The whole reason I need to upgrade, is to keep that content.

Hello,

I am a new user of Bbpress. Currently I have the latest version of WordPress as well as Bbpress. But I am facing an irritating problem. I have created a forum for my site: http://realestateconnectionplace.com/forums/forum/forum/ .I like the url to be http://realestateconnectionplace.com/forum/ . I searched everywhere and found that many a one tried to provide a solution. They made plugins and code for .htaccess file. But all of them make some issues like admin link’s working issue and extra slash in the url.

In a nutshell I am very depressed. Because I am not an expert and found no perfect help anywhere. So I would like to request to John James Jacoby, please consider spending a little time to give us instruction about how to stop Archive Slugs and Single Slugs appearing in the url.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Does anyone know a way to hide the bbPress breadcrumbs in the bbp-forum-index only?

I still want the breadcrumbs to appear once a visitor is in a forum category, as a way of navigating back. It just seems a bit redundant to have Home > Forums breadcrumbs when you’re on the forums page and there’s already a header link to go back to the homepage.

[pdhuisman]

I had the same problem, i resoved it by adding this code in the style.css of my twenty eleven child theme


.forum #primary{
width:70%;
}

.forum .entry-content{
width:100%;
}


And then also:


.topic #primary{
width:70%;
}

.topic .entry-content{
width:100%;
}


And finaly,


.bbp-user-page #primary{
width:70%;
}

.bbp-user-page .entry-content{
width:100%;
}


That solved my problem. I run WP 3.5. and bbpress 2.2. Hope this helps.
I also figured out how to change the page title and remove some space at the top. Let me knof if you are interrested.

[steilenhang]

Yea I can’t get anywhere. If I try to update from 1.0.2 to 1.2 I just get a white screen after replacing the files. If I don’t upgrade and just try to import from 1.0.2 into the latest 2.2 I get errors like “Motionworks” reported 2 months ago in this topic.

John James Jacoby said: You’ll want to update to bbPress 1.1 first; the schematic changed from 1.0 to 1.1.

What can be potential issues when migrating straight from 1.0.2 to 2.x? When I tried test run of migration 1.0.2 to 2.x, I did not noticed any issues, so curious, should I really go for an upgrade to 1.2 first.

[Ramiuz]

I have this same problem. I am now downloading version 1.2, to upgrade from 1.02.

But I have my forum on a different database. And would like to import it to the WordPress database. I´ve tried using the converter without success. So would appreciate any help on this problem.

Have a look in the codex docs https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

And bbPress source

Hi Lynq.
I’m trying to run your code but seems to not work. I have wordpress 3.5 and CatchBox Theme. I copied the contents of “bbPress-starter-theme-epicwebs-master” folder to “/public/www/wp-content/themes/catch-box/bbpress/” but it seems not working yet.

Because forums lists the topics as:

FORUM1
Topic1(0,0), Topic2(0,0)
FORUM2
Topic1(0,0), Topic2(0,0)

But want to make changes to do as:

FORUM1
Topic1 (0,0),
Topic2 (0,0)
FORUM2
Topic1 (0,0)
Topic2 (0,0)

Please, can you help ?
Thanks in advance.

[Stephen Edgar]

You can also use https://codex.bbpress.org/bbp_show_lead_topic/ as used here on bbpress.org to use a different template for the ‘lead topic’.

An alternative to your str_replace method is to make your own language translation. https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

Thank you Stephen!

Have a read of @jjj’s comment on this ticket in trac https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2089#comment:6

[Stephen Edgar]

This is bbPress, you should ask the Buddy Press community over here http://buddypress.org

[Stephen Edgar]

Download links for v1.2 are over here https://bbpress.org/download/legacy/
(v1.2 is the same as v1.1 with a fix for BackPress pomo language support)

I also updated https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/

[MSkovmose]

Greetings,

I’m working on my first WordPress page and have selected bbpress as my forum plugin.
However my theme (Montezuma) is not too fond of just installing and using this forum. I found out I had to make new main template PHP files for each page bbpress uses.

I found out that the main page is archive.php… but I’m having problems finding the right page for user profiles.

Can someone help me out here? Maybe an entire list of filenames that bbpress uses?

Thanks. 🙂

[steilenhang]

That is a little strange. This topic did not move to the top. It still says that the last reply was 1 month ago.

Edit: Works now with this reply..

[steilenhang]

John James Jacoby said: You’ll want to update to bbPress 1.1 first; the schematic changed from 1.0 to 1.1.

Where can we download 1.1 then? Its not at the legacy page. I got 1.0.2 too and are trying to upgrade to latest 2.x.

You might want to update the Import Forums Codex because it says that bbPress v1.x is supported, but its not as you said yourself.

I’ve managed to wrap my head around the new bbpress forum roles system pretty well, but unfortunately I think there is a minor flaw in its construction that prevents the flexibility in capability allocation that we had before this addition.

I have several groups of users on my site who participate in a special set of forums that are grouped within a forum category which is HIDDEN. I had previously allowed users who attain appropriate qualifications to participate in these hidden discussion forums by assigning them an elevated site role like “Contributor” which possessed the “Read Hidden Forums” capability.

The issue is now that forum roles have entered the picture, the “Participant” rank seems to override the “Contributors” ability to read hidden forums. I cannot manage to get any user the ability to view hidden forums unless they possess a forum role of moderator or keymaster. This poses an issue in my case, because I simply want these users to participate in hidden forums, but not have the ability to moderate them.

To summarize, it seems that bbp_participant’s lack of read_hidden_forums overrides my site role that actually has this capability assigned. What would be ideal is if I can assign these bbpress capabilities to a sitewide role, which would allow that role to supersede the capability set of a participant.

I’d welcome any thoughts or advice,
Andrew

oh…even in this bbpress post lt and gt character does not work. Thats interesting. Anyone can help me to understand.

[sureshtmp-456]

Hi

I have a wordpress(3.4.1) installation adb bbpress 2.2.2 plugin.

For some reason whenever any tag like , , , etc… are put in the content of a topic, it get removed while saving the topic. Even the tags allowed by default are removed while saving.

So basically a line like

I am going to and will need

will become

I am going to and will need

after saving.

I have tried putting and surrounding the content, but it does not help.

I have also tried “bbpress post toolbar” plugin but that kind of messes of with my theme
and too many things start breaking so I removed this.

I have already spent few days on this issue. Can someone help ?

thx
