I have the “Members”-plugin installed. After updating bbPress and changing all roles of the users from “(wordpress-)”participants” into “subscribers”, the “participant”-roles of bbPress were empty. Now all subscribers can participate in the private forums. Not what I’ve had in mind…

But in my functions.php I have a script to notify users of their updated capabilities. It starts with:
function user_role_update( $user_id, $new_role ) {
if($new_role == 'bbp_participant') {

But that doesn’t seem to work anymore. Did the name of the bbPress participant role change? Will
function user_role_update( $user_id, $new_role ) {
if($new_role == 'participant') {

work?

Hello. I just started this bbpress plugin recently.

I would like to know how users delete their own topics by themselves. I set all visitors as participants. They can write and edit their topics, but can not delete. If there’re suitable plugin.

Thank you for reading. Waiting for reply.

If you want to do it yourself then I would recommend looking here first: https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development – It tells you a bit about getting to grips with wordpress themes in general and then you can move onto bbPress which sits inside your wordpress theme.

Good luck.

Have you done much editing with wordpress templates? You will need to edit the bbPress template files to move the make new topic button, or do what I did and add in a new button which scrolls you down using jquery.

[Lynq]

I downloaded the latest version of bbPress and the latest version of wordpress, did a local install probably only 5 days ago at max and then re created it using the functions from my teamoverpowered.com site.

[erwinodendaal]

I guess my problem that subscribers/forum participants after the update of bbPress 2.2 can no longer edit their profile page (and all subscribers/participants before could) are a result of the incompatibility of bbPress and the Members plugin?
Do I still need the Members plugin now that the roles for WordPress and bbPress are no longer one?

Greetings all, I hope everyone is having a safe holiday season.

When I upgraded to 3.5 and I go to the page that houses bbpress forums, these are the error messages my browser is displaying…

Thank you all for helping me fix my web site, Thanks and happy holidays…

Nice Lync… What version of bbPress did you base this from?

I will take it for a spin and closer look later…

[Stephen Edgar]

Firstly, I am currently looking for feedback on the vBulletin importer and there have been reports that users do not get imported correctly, did your users get imported correctly?

eg. Migrating vBulletin 4.0.4 to bbPress 2.2.3 and bug tracking ticket #1991.

What version of vBulletin and bbPress are you using?

I personally don’t have access to vBulletin so I haven’t been able to test much of anything relating to vBulletin basically so helping out with your .htaccess would also be a bit of hit and miss.

Stack Exchange has some great examples of rewrites

• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/.htaccess+mod-rewrite
• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/mod-rewrite

This is one of my favourites even though it is not specific to any of your needs here it is a good example of mod_rewrite regex rules.

• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4318171/how-to-regex-and-htaccess-rewrite-url

A couple of other resources to help along the way:

• htaccess tester
• An In Depth Guide to mod_rewrite for Apache
• reFiddle regex expression testing

[Lynq]

Download the Zip from github and then unzip it into your wordpress theme. It will take care of the rest.

Good luck!

How do I install this theme into bbPress?

Thanks!

[matrixd]

Hi Hansaplastique is possible to add at tinyMCE editor the preview button?

[Juba]

I recently installed bbpress on my blog but needed the existing Mingle forum live so that I could transfer some of the posts to the new install of bbpress so i set it up as test.

After transferring most of the posts I needed, I wanted to use the existing forum page as the new forum homepage so I inserted /forum/ as my main prefix for the url.

Now I can’t get the homepage but I can view the topic pages. When I enter /forum on my site, it just shows a blank page or redirects to the main site page.

My site is http://tenerifefroum.org.es and the forum should be with a /forum after the url.

Here is one of the topic pages:
http://tenerifeforum.org.es/forum/board/reviews/

If anyone can help on how I can get the forum to work, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks

To update this thread, I downgraded to version 2.1.3 as suggested here and the problem was resolved. 2.1.3 is before the new user role setup in BBPress. The folks in the thread linked above were all having issues with Member plugins and user roles that had been edited.

I’m not using a user role editor of any kind on the main site, but I have used on 3 (out of 100) subsites on the multisite network. The role editor plugin has never been activated on the main site, and BBpress has never been activated on the subsites.

For now, I’m stuck on 2.1.3 until a fix or a better understanding can be found.

[Prometheus Fire]

There were a few people who were reporting 404 errors for some logged in users, myself included, in the announcement thread here http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-2-3-released/

Instead of clogging up that thread with that problem, I’m starting a new one. To summarize, admins can access the forums, but some logged in users cannot. On my site I’ve been getting reports daily that some members cannot access the forums. I have two testing account on my site, one can access and another, newly created cannot. It receives the 404 error.

Logged out users can load all the forums with no problem, as can admins. Resetting permalinks doesn’t fix it, and neither does re-installing the plugin. I even went so far as to delete all the _bbp_ options from the wp-options table of the database and that didn’t help either.

I also downgraded to 2.2.2 and that didn’t fix it, so I don’t think the issue is with the latest version, but something else that may have introduced with the new user roles (which I think came in with 2.2), but I only recently started having the issue with version 2.2.3.

One user has rebuilt his database and beat the problem, this may work for some, but I’m not in a position to do that since I’m running mine on multisite and my database is over 2gb with thousands of tables. For me to do that for this when everything else is working fine is a major job.

Any one having this issue should post in this thread and hopefully we can find the problem and solution. As it stands right now for me, about a third of my users are getting the error.

[Prometheus Fire]

I can report that I’m experiencing the same issue that TranThe is experiencing. Many users, once they get logged in are getting 404 errors.

I can’t seem to figure it out. It does not seem to be entirely user role related and doesn’t seem to effect all the users, but I have a number of users and a testing account that get a 404 error.

I see TranThe’s fix above, but that seems pretty drastic, I’m not in a position to re-install WordPress and rebuild the database yet because of this. I’m running BBpress on the mainsite of a multisite install that hosts nearly 100 websites. His fix is great for a single site, but for me that’s a major operation, my database is huge.

[anthonyluth09]

Hey amanda, I found my own similar solution to this…. see the thread below!

Hide Editor

[anthonyluth09]

I’ve for the most part figured this out. I created a new page for the topics list (similar to bbpress front-page) and used [bbpress-topic-index], changing the displayed posts to 50, then also created a new page for creating topic and using [bbp-topic-form] I new have my topic form. Next I added a nav link with the btn class and good as gold!

[Prometheus Fire]

I’ve been following the updates to user roles in BBpress, but I think I’ve got a problem that may actually be a bug.

My setup is WP 3.5 multisite with BuddyPress. I have BBpress activated only on the main site. It’s not available to the subsites at all.

It seems however, that network members are being added to the subsites with the user role of participants. It doesn’t happen on all the sites, but I haven’t been able to narrow it down to what and why.

Generally speaking, the users don’t need to be added to the subsites since they are all just blogs anyhow and buddypress handles all the networking stuff associated with that. The issue is that the user’s My Sites menu in the WordPress admin bar for all those user seems to continually proliferate with with websites as they get added to them. It doesn’t seem to be a situation where the user visits the site and gets added as a participant (note, they are not added as a subscriber). The issues does not effect the Sites tab of the user’s BP profile. It is only the menu bar.

I keep getting messages from users saying that they aren’t users of the other members blogs but they keep showing up in the list. If this is intended, it creates a rather awkward user experience, and how do I turn it off? If its not intended, say so and I’ll create a trac ticket.

[Rasheed Bydousi]

It is a known problem:

Thank you Hansaplastique!

Looks like first function (bbp_mce_override) overrides bbPress tinymce settings and then uses mce buttons same as they appear in the backend (which can be then modified easily).

[ough]

After upgrading from WordPress 3.4.2 to 3.5 and bbPress from 2.1.2 to 2.2.3. The private forums are inaccessible for both admin and regular users.

I am using the Twenty Eleven theme. I also tried with the new Twenty Twelve theme, same thing.

Any ideas?
Thanks

[Tareq Hasan]

I am running the latest WordPress and bbPress. Few days back everything was ok. But somehow I am noticing that when making new replies, it’s not showing up in frontend single topic display. It’s showing up after few hours I guess. But it’s normally showing in admin area. There is no caching plugin installed.

Some weird behaviour:
1. The reply count is showing on topic list page. But not showing on single topic.

2. Showing on widget, but their order is not right.

Not sure whats coming wrong.

[Hansaplastique]

I’ve used the following code to remove some buttons for non-admins.
This will keep your normal editor in the admin pages as they should stay, yet visitors of my bbPress forum can only use a few buttons.
You can find a list of “standard” buttons in tinyMCE here.

Place this code in the functions.php file of your theme.
(ps. I’m no expert and pretty new to bbPress – but this worked like a charm for me)

function bbp_mce_override( $args = array() ) {
$args['teeny'] = false;
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_mce_override' );

// *********************** CUSTOMIZE TINYMCE BUTTONS FOR BBPRESS *****************************
if (!is_super_admin()) // remove buttons for non admins
{
function add_tinymce_buttons($buttons)
{
$arr_size=count($buttons);
// remove blockquote, kitchen-sink, full-screen and the more-button
$remove_these=array('blockquote','wp_adv','fullscreen','wp_more');

for ($counter=$arr_size; $counter>=0; $counter--)
{
if ( in_array($buttons[$counter],$remove_these) )
{
unset($buttons[$counter]);
}
}

// add the "image" button
array_push($buttons,'image');

return $buttons;
}

// Erase the entire 2nd button bar
function add_tinymce_buttons_2($buttons)
{
unset($buttons);
return $buttons;
}

add_filter('mce_buttons', 'add_tinymce_buttons');
add_filter('mce_buttons_2', 'add_tinymce_buttons_2');
}
