Hi,
Is there a way to filter buttons in Fancy editr (for eg. full screen writing) used by bbPress on the frontend – in topics and replies?
I was trying to filter it ‘bbp_get_the_content’ but I didn’t figure it out.

I guess it would be something like this (still not working though – incorrect loop?)

Hey all,

Since there is no support for “Categories” so to speak.. what i would like to do is create a custom main forum page and insert the forums manually… Now i know this can be done with shortcodes in posts and pages like as follows:

[bbp-single-forum id=32]

But what i am wondering is how would one go about inserting single forums into the BBpress .php template files.. for example the template content-archive-forum.php has the following php code which displays all forums:

I would like to edit this file and insert forums manually.. is there a php version / code like the shortcodes to insert single forums ?

Regards, Darren

Hi John,

in my situation is the correct version not the problem.
The original forum is on version 1.1 since months. And updated to 1.2 yesterday.
It’s an old forum (since 2002) – migrated to bbPress 0.9 and then 1.0 -> 1.1.
Since May 2011 the forum was deactivated – after some problems with an user. 🙁

Hmmm… I think the problem may lie in the fact that the forum has a lot of anonymous posters. In 0.9 there was an plugin for anonymous posters with meta data. But in version >0.9 these posts were all anonoymous posts without an user.

I’ll test the convertion on a blank installation of WordPress 3.5 today (without any other plugins). And the i’ll report again.

By the way. JJJ – carry on with your great work on bbPress. 🙂

For those of you who are on Google+ and would like to keep up with the latest bbPress news and development, I’ve created a Google+ Community just for that 🙂

That’s so strange, but I think I found what the problem was.

For some reason, after updating bbPress and BuddyPress, all groups had reverted back to having no forums. For this reason when I clicked into a group forum page, such as http://www.mywebsite.com/groups/my-group/forum, it returned a 404 error because there was no forum associated with that group.

I went into PHPMyAdmin and opened up the “bp_groups” table, inside the “enable_forum” field I had to change them all from 0 to 1. I could’ve also gone to Groups > Admin > Enable Forum tick. I’m just not sure why the groups all reverted back to having no forums though. Luckily all the posts are still there and intact.

Hi,
I would like to add a lightbox feature to the bbPress message board. Is there a pluggin that works with the current version 2.2.3.  or is there a way that I can make the lightbox pluggin that I have for WordPress work within bbPress somehow?

GDtools is a great pluggin that has a built in lightbox feature but it ads the images separate from the actual post and this isn’t the best technique for creating articles within bbPress.

Thanks,

EJ

Or, if it is not possible, I’d like to know if there is a way for users to be re-directed to the “Edit” option from bbpress instead of going to the WordPress text editor.

Hello,

I am using skematiktheme.com wordpress theme, which is also styled for buddypress. I also have the lastest version of buddypress, bbpress, and wordpress installed.

Not sure if I should be asking this in the buddypress forum or not, because most of the changes are related to bbpress forums which are integrated with buddypress.

I want to change the font size. In general I just need to change the font size for the text in the body of posts, but it would be good if I could bump everything up by 4px. How do I change that?

Can someone help me by explaining it in simple step-by-step language?

For example: go here, then type this code here, and then change this, etc….

Thanks,
Ben

There is literally nothing in bbPress 2.2.3 that wasn’t also in 2.2.2 that could cause new 404 issues.

[ERmito]

[ERmito]

http://www.ermito.eu/spolem

Pls helllp is live web with forum work well

[kraigg]

I’ve also tried re-saving the permalinks (it’s currently on the to “Post name” option), but the problem persists.

Is there something I should be doing after updating bbPress and BuddyPress?

[Kyle Burnett]

well, i rolled back the other plugin and everything resolved itself. it was buggy. disregard! sorry about that.

[paulwclark]

At this point I’m thinking my question has either been answered so many times people can’t be bothered to answer it anymore, even though I can’t find an answer to my question anywhere in support, or it is in fact impossible for anyone other than the site owner to post new topics or comments using bbPress which makes me wonder how it can be so popular 😉

Come on now someone – anyone – how does Joe Blow visiting my site for the first time login to contribute to the forum. Surely it’s not that difficult.

[Kyle Burnett]

oops… forgot to chick for notification…

[Kyle Burnett]

i am using another plugin (codepress admin columns) that calls do_action(‘load-edit.php’) to load all the plugins to get some info – namely custom columns. since and update to both – which, ironically both updated today – i get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::add_help_tab() in /home/content/…/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/forums.php on line 118

And if I get past that error, it’s the same thing for admin/topics.php and admin/replies.php.

What I have traced it to is this:

private function bail() {
if ( !isset( get_current_screen()->post_type ) || ( $this->post_type != get_current_screen()->post_type ) )
return true;

return false;
}

For some reason bail() is not bailing. I – the user – am on options-general.php?page=codepress-admin-columns, and yet bail() thinks the current screen’s post type is ‘forum’ (or topic or reply).

I’m thinking this is a naming convention problem? Why else would get_current_screen return as a ‘forum’ post_type when I’m no where near the forum – I’m just loading it to read some data.

Thanks for any info.

Managed to make it work using this 2 functions:

function remove_bbpress_forum_freshness_date() {
return '';
}
add_filter('bbp_get_forum_freshness_link', 'remove_bbpress_forum_freshness_date');

function remove_bbpress_topic_freshness_date() {
return '';
}
add_filter('bbp_get_topic_freshness_link', 'remove_bbpress_topic_freshness_date');

But now i’m thinking to do something else. Instead of removing the date i want to rename it to something like “View Post”. The freshness date already links to the last post by default so i just want to rename it.

Do you know how can i do this?

[rsanchez1]

Can you get more specific with your CSS? By that, I mean just targeting the date instead of the whole freshness block. For example, I see on my bbPress installation that the date in the forum freshness is in a child div of li.bbp-forum-freshness, which in CSS would be div.forums-topic-datetime.

If you are more comfortable with PHP and WordPress development the forum and topic freshness links do have filters:

bbp_get_forum_freshness_link
bbp_get_topic_freshness_link

Both filters pass the link html and the forum/topic id to your callback function. You could then hook to these filters, and simply have your filter callback return an empty string.

I’m also getting ‘404 Not Found’ errors for all my forum pages

http://www.citymoose.com/showcase/websites/ridbcandme/ (newadmin | newadmin)

Strangely enough, it also breaks some of the login verification plugins I have, such as Unconfirmed and Buddypress Pending Activations (“Warning: Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare(), called in /home/citymoos/public_html/showcase/websites/ridbcandme/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-pending-activations/bp-pending-activations.php on line 18 and defined in /home/citymoos/public_html/showcase/websites/ridbcandme/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 990”).

I don’t know if these errors are coming from the new BuddyPress 1.6.2, bbPress 2.2.3, or the new WordPress 3.5, which I had to update all at the same time today.

[Jared Atchison]

There is a plugin that addresses the first issue.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-private-replies/

Not sure of an easy way to restrict posting a thread without a few chunks of custom code.

[McFly83]

That doesn’t work for me.
Still, all registered users have access to private forums.

How can I configure the roles and capabilities when using bbPress 2.2.x???
Please guys, there has to be a simple way to do this!

[MikeGulett]

My site is: http://mycarquest.com

It has now started working correctly without any changes from me

this reminds me of another problem I am having where changes to my posts do not appear for sometime unless I open the post in another web browser or another computer

I think this problem may have started with a bbPress update a couple of weeks ago

has anyone else had a problem like this?

[John James Jacoby]

If you create the user, it doesn’t assign them a role right away. They’ll get role mapped once they login to the site, or once you assign them a role.
