Hi,

i had a bbpress install 1.0.3

it was a long time ago i did this so please bear with me!

i thought this was installed without wordpress.

i want to srub the contents of this forum as its full of spam and set up a new one with the same custom theme.

am i right in thinking you have to have a wordpress install now to run bbpress?

assuming so i have installed wordpress and bbpress plug in. would prefer not to have wordpress if you dont need it?

Is it now possible to move my old custom theme from bbpress over and use that or do I have to start from scratch? if so how?

Thanks

Just tried updating to bbPress 2.2.2 on my site that has completely custom roles. All of my roles capabilities were left mostly unchanged but had all their bbPress capabilities removed. For some reason, the role I had called ‘Member’ got completely deleted and all users who had that role now display as having ‘none’ as their role. In the wp_usermeta table, users still have ‘member’ set as their role, but the role no longer exists in wp_user_roles in wp_options.

The forum roles appear to have been created correctly but all of my users (including Administrators) have no forum role at the moment. Strangely, Administrators still have complete control over the forums despite having no forum role or capabilities. I suppose this is because the Administrator role automatically has all capabilities?

What could have caused my Member role to be deleted? Is it safe for me to just copy it back into wp_user_roles in wp_options from the backup I have of the database? How can I assign all current users a forum role?

Thanks in advance 🙂

how do i add the code correctly to the core?

is it ?

I think its really wierd that bbpress does not have a easy way to add post count to the forum. Or is it something really easy i have missed?

Thanks!

you can easily change forum role titles, breadcrumbs and more using bbpress string swap

I’m just recently testing bbPress, my theme is dark and the default editor doesn’t look well with it. Perfect solution? The editor color options available through Ultimate Tinymce! 😀

So, my question is: Do I have to rename “foo”, or will it work if I just paste that into my functions.php?

I can not change the user capabilities with plugins Members or User Role Editor

The following message appears:
Fatal error: Call to a member function has_cap ()

Is there any solution?

Thanks

bbPress 2.x includes a conversion tool to import forums/topics/replies/users from some of the popular forum packages eg. bbPress or phpBB

There is an ‘example’ file also included as a ‘reference template’ that if your forum software is using a SQL database then you could easily modify this to be a custom importer by matching the correct database tables/fields etc

The file is called ‘example.php’ and is located in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin/converters

on my installation I want to use the default theme, but it looks like its appearing with no style sheet attached. Also when I make a new topic its kind of “invisible” to the public and me. It says this forum has no posts or topics but it does! What could be wrong ?

[John James Jacoby]

@sooskriszta – your theme is using query_posts() or is misbehaving in some other way. Maybe creating a WP_Query() that it’s resetting? Either way, I can remove that bit, but bbPress needs to take care to only intercept ‘the_content’ filters when it’s supposed to.

[SK]

@johnjamesjacoby That resolves the issue!

[Halo Diehard]

Howdy, can someone please check out the first page of my bbPress forums and tell me if it’s supposed to look like this? I can certainly tweak it with CSS, but I need an example, so if someone could provide a link to what it’s supposed to look like that would be great! BTW, I don’t mean colors, which I’ve begun tweaking already, I’m referring to the layout.

I’m using:

WordPress Version: 3.4.2
bbPress Version: 2.2.2
Theme: Custom Community

Link to my bbPress test forums: http://themetest.halodiehards.org/hd-forums/

For what it’s worth, I’m looking for whatever function is calling content-archive-forum.php.  I can edit this file in my child theme per the Codex, but I’m trying to figure out which function is calling this, and in particular, what function generates the code above the <div id=”bbpress-forums”> at the start of content-archive-forum.php.

Does bbPress simply use the default post display template, and if so, where is the call to load and execute content-archive-forum.php  made?

I tried a grep for content-archive-forum in the entire wordpress tree from wp-content on down, and I can’t find where this is called from.

Many thanks

Michael

 

and not just this template file

[Michael]

Hi there — I’m running WP 3.4.2, bbPress 2.2.2 & buddypress 1.6.1.  Overall, I’m quite happy with the installation, and I’ve done a fair amount of customization on my site  to give it a nice L&F.  I’ve been using a child theme to do all customization, and it’s been reasonably straightforward, but not trivial.  That said, many thanks to all the bbPress folks who are putting lots of time in on this plugin — it’s a great platform.

Onto my question:  How is the main forum archive page generated?  I want to create my own template to generate this page, and I’ve been stumped trying to trace the sequence of files/calls used to create it.

For context, I have the Forums Base set to “member-area/forums” in Settings -> Forums. I can go to http://mysite/member-area/forums and see the standard listing of all the forums in a table.  Perfect, just what I want.

That said, how exactly is this page created?  Which files & calls in the plugin create it?  I’ve found loop-forums.php in …/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/which is used to create the table within the page (apparently called as the_content() somewhere), but I can’t find the code blocks that create the header, footer, etc.  Is there a single template page used to create the Archive Base page?

Apparently this page is generated regardless of whether there is an existing page (permalink) to the same permalink used as Archive Base.  Nifty, but I want to use my own template (the whole thing) for creating the Archive Base page.

Even when I create a page with a permalink address the same as Archive Base and insert a  [bbp-forum-index] in the post content, I can’t seem to select a Template from the Page Attribute pull down that has any effect on the creation of the Archive Base page.  It’s like it’s hard wired to use a very specific template — that I can’t find in the directory tree.

Long winded, but I hope that conveys what I’m trying to do.  In short, I just want to create my own template for creating the Archive Base page.  Any pointers are appreciated.

Cheers,

Michael

@sooskriszta – What happens if you comment out lines 657 and 658:

Hello, I use BBpress 2.1.

Is there a way to merge two forums in one?

Regards, Francesco.

[SK]

As reported elsewhere, my theme doesn’t seem to like bbPress 2.2.2 either.

The problem caused is that I think the template files that make bbPress work with other themes broke.

I can still go to the forum pages with direct URLs or links in forum list widget, but the forums (list of forums or list of topics) are not visible. All I see in content area is page/forum title and forum description.

Similarly, on topic pages, I see topic title, but nothing else…

When I view source, the code is not there. e.g. when on forums home I view code, I can’t find the forum names (except in the forum list widget)

P.S. Reinstalling 2.2.2 has not resolved the issue.

[padekan]

Is there a workaround (I hope I’m not asking a boy if he knew anything about CSS, this would be obvious question)?

[SK]

Created ticket https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2031

JJJ says no need yet, but will consider if it is a popular request.

[John James Jacoby]

@mickeyroush – Annoying. Usually bumped automatically. Will fix. Thanks.

[John James Jacoby]

@technotip – If there’s only one theme, the option is hidden.

It’s most likely bbPress’s fault, being too strict on clearing out the CSS for lists.

[tilmanjo]

Hello,

I have the following problem:

In the form-topic.php in somewhere aroung line 43 there is written:

bbp_is_single_forum() ? printf( __( ‘Create New Topic in “%s”’, ‘bbpress’ ), bbp_get_forum_title() ) : _e( ‘Create New Topic’, ‘bbpress’ );

Now on my website it shows: Forum_titleCreate New Topic in “”. Somehow it is not working that %s is replaced by the bbp_get_forum_title() information!

Anther problem that occured:
When starting a Forum as private and then changing it to public the topics that were created as in the “private mode” still remain private and I could not find a way to change that back.

Thanks for working on bbpress!

actual wordpress and bbpress version

Not be the most elegant solution, but it’ll have to do for now:


//redirect user profile topic permalinks to fix pagination, as we have topics embedded on profiles
function rats_redirect_user_pagination( $pagination ) {
// Get bbPress
$bbp = bbpress();
if (bbp_is_single_user() && is_array($pagination) && isset($pagination['base']) ) {
//if topics has not been included in the url yet
$check_topic = strpos($pagination['base'], '/topics/page/');
if($check_topic === false) {
$pagination['base'] = str_replace('/page/','/topics/page/', $pagination['base']);
}
}
//return pagination array
return $pagination;
}
add_action('bbp_topic_pagination', 'rats_redirect_user_pagination', 99, 1 );
