Thanks for all the replies. My host’s limit for me is 128. Even after editing wp-config.php it still gives me an error: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 7680 bytes)

Thanks.

Sorry to be taking over this topic. I had just directed everyone with Members/bbPress issues here to follow along with any developments.

It was much easier to simply look at the code than to read the explanation, but I figured out the issue and just pushed an update for Members plugin users live. So, JJJ, if you run into any questions from my users about this, tell them to update Members to version 0.2.2+.

If nothing else, I got a lot of useful ideas. 🙂

Has anyone managed to turn on the new bbPress forums in legacy BuddyPress groups? (….including legacy BuddyPress groups which didn’t have an old-style forum?)

Or is this a bug?

[SydneyDesigner]

Hi Spence,

I’ve now removed all my legacy forums database tables, so I tried what you suggested above, but instead changing the privacy settings of the legacy groups themselves. It didn’t fix it.

So I still cannot find a way of turning on the new bbPress forums in legacy BuddyPress Groups. Anyone with a solution please post.

[Justin Tadlock]

I actually have some ideas about fixing this after reading through your WP Ticket #22361. I’m pretty sure I have a good solution that I can implement on my end anyway.

Morning all,

I’m just in the process of doing a fresh wordpress + buddypress install.
All is going well for the most part with the exception of the global forums.
So I enabled Group forums, and thats going fine.
I then enabled Global forums and it ran through what seemed like a bbPress install.
All fine (with the exception of bbPress trying to use the same slug ‘forums’, but that was an easy one.
Now: To create a dedicated page/tab for the global forums is there a short-code I can simply add to a new page?
Also, nothing from the global forums seem to be appearing in the members activity stream. Is that normal?

Cheers
Jase

I found out there is some kind of incompatibility with the WPML plugin and when I deactivate it, the Forums, Topics and Replies in the admin area are visible again.

I’ve raised a ticket in the WPML forum to see if they can help. I am aware that older versions of both plugins (bbpress and WPML) worked fine together. The WPML forum itself is supossely implemented with both plugins.

Let’s see if it can be solved soon.

@Hangout: are u using WPML?

Regards,

Julio

While I certainly understand WordPress’ failings in the user/role/cap department, this update to bbPress has caused a major issue. See, for folks who have been using role-editing plugins (such as my Members plugin), they’re now getting errors because of “dynamic roles”.

This update messes up other plugins that work with the system WordPress has in place (editable roles). Now, I’m stuck with support questions, emails, and forum posts asking why my plugin is broken when bbPress introduced this problem. This is a major issue that should probably be resolved soonish because many of the users of my Members plugin are going to hit this issue as they update their bbPress installs. The two plugins previously worked in perfect harmony. In fact, many bbPress users started using Members to have the level of control they needed for their forums.

Admittedly, I haven’t dug into the code yet. But, I’m guessing the problem with a role-editing plugin and bbPress is that the bbPress roles cannot be edited, which was standard functionality before. Since bbPress is modifying the overall [editable] roles array, there’s no way for my plugin to separate the two sets of roles (editable, WordPress-style roles vs. dynamic, bbPress-style roles).

Obviously, I could write some bbPress-specific code in my plugin to overcome this issue, but why should I? That means I’d have to keep up with bbPress role updates to make sure I stay in line with this new system. Plus, this sets precedence for other plugins to use this same, dynamic roles system.

I think bbPress should stick to doing what it does best: being an awesome forum plugin. Leave the role/cap stuff to plugins meant to handle this sort of thing. At the very least, it would’ve been nice to give a heads up to plugin authors who maintain role-editing plugins.

I’m not against the ideas presented with dynamic roles (I’m actually intrigued by it), but let’s wait for WordPress to catch up if this is the direction it’ll eventually go in.

I’ll definitely be looking into the issue further, but I’ve got a busy schedule at the moment.

This type of requests should be posted here -> http://jobs.wordpress.net/

Look for tr.odd td and tr.even td in your bbpress.css

[Jared Atchison]

Yeah I’d reinstall the latest version. Something is definitely screwy.

[Jared Atchison]

the function to use for a check is is_bbpress()

[Jared Atchison]

There is a plugin that enables attachments – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/, however past that currently there is no other method. It’s certainly on the list for core, we just haven’t gotten to it yet.

[glrwork]

My client may be interested in hiring someone to update our bbPress forum to make it more user friendly and fresh.

Where is the best place to find bbPress developers?

Thanks

I would like to weigh in here and agree with @xmasons sentiment. The “Members” plugin, for example, is a great example of role/capability management done right IMHO. I am unable, however, to modify the capabilities of the bundled bbp roles within the Members interface.

What I have been forced to do is create my own role for “forum moderator” with additional capabilities added on top of the bbp_moderator defaults. The resulting outcome is that I am deliberately not using the bundled bbPress role, which effectively defeats the purpose of having implemented it in the first place.

I’m not sure why the new bbp roles are incompatible with the Members plugin, I get the following error when attempting to modify their available caps.

Fatal error: Call to a member function has_cap() on a non-object in /home/tamrielfoundry/tamrielfoundry.com/wp-content/plugins/members/admin/role-edit.php on line 31

[aaclayton]

Same issue here, also a bit scared to remap user roles. I looked into it, turns out as part of the new bbPress update that restructured some of its own user roles, it actually removed certain capabilities from existing roles. For example, my site-wide administrator role didn’t have the capability to read_hidden_forums or read_private_forums, in addition to 20 or so other bbPress specific capabilities.

If you are using default (or custom) WordPress roles in a bbPress environment, you may need to go in and grant them some of the bbPress specific capabilities.

[Milleogco.dk]

Still NO luck here either…. MY FORUM still doesnt work….I have tried all your ideas…
Im going to deactivate – delete and start all over…. NOT positive thinking from me….

[blg002]

I just want to make sure it was the 2.2 update that did away with the ‘Forum Participant’ role. It seems to have set all non-admins ‘Site Role’ to ‘Participant’ (even though that’s not an option in the Role dropdown), and left the ‘Default User Role’ to Administrator which caused a few outsiders to accidentally be signed up as an Admin.

[Pippin Williamson]

Yes, but you need to install the New Topic Notification extension from @jaredatch: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-new-topic-notifications/

[xmasons]

Previously, if we wanted to modify the roles and capabilities of end users, we would use one of the several plugin offerings. With the folding of roles into bbPress changing those capabilities and access, it seems as if our pervious granular control is now removed. I understand the reasons, and I’m also feeling quite hamstrung on my choices.

Previously I had two user levels that are similar to the updated Participant role. One allowed for addition and edits of publicly available forums. The second one allowed for not only publicly available forums, but also private ones as well. The new Participant role fills that latter role, but now I no longer have the user identity for the former role.

It appears that I can’t change the capabilities of the bundled roles, nor am I able to create new roles that will play nice with bbPress. What are my options around this? Will there be tools to add new roles or change the capabilities?

Thanks for any input.

[jspranza]

My current theme is the default TwentyEleven theme. Are you saying I should check in the TwentyTen theme?

[szerman]

I have repaired all items in the tools section and still only two forums out of six are listed on my forum page. (http://keyblogging.com/support/). Please help!

[royho]

You can try ‘bbp_template_before_forums_loop’ and ‘bbp_template_before_topics_loop’ hooks…Those two are fired right before any forum or topic is generated at template level.

[royho]

Yes, you need to put it inside the CSS folder. So it should look like this:

themes/underscores/css/bbpress.css

[David Gwyer]

I have a normal WordPress site with the bbPress Plugin installed.

Is there a hook or template tag I can use to run code when any type of front end bbPress page is displayed (forum/topic/reply etc.)?

I want to run some custom code, but only if the current page is a bbPress page. I don’t want code to run on every page on my site when it’s not needed (i.e. for non-bbPress pages).

Thanks.
