I am currently using Graphene Theme which apparently should be compatible with bbPress
Curently my index page looks like this
http://hosting0948899.az.pl/wp/forums/

The index displays as if I get search results for all my pages with forums instered inside.
The same with user profile page…

What can I do? What causes the problem?

As a YouTube partner I started to look for a fresh approach to involving my subscribers. I’ve been both an illustrator and web developer in the past, so it made sense to play to my strengths and use these as key factors. 8 months later of working solo on this project and RatsClan.com is now a fully featured community site with a built in unique Playing Card system. Members can unlock achievements, go up ranks, grow their card collection, battle against one another, earn medals and much more.

The site is built upon the latest WordPress, with the bbPress forum plugin installed. The simple and tactile user interface is consistent throughout each aspect, with large (seasonal changing) illustrations when playing cards. This is all brought to life with animated elements and sound effects.

Games are created as custom posts, and become published when another user has accepting to challenge them. This allows users to share their experiences or look for opponents through social networks. Experience points and currency is also stored as custom meta, which is all cached to help load time.

The feedback from our members has been phenomenal, and I’m excited to see how far I can push the boundaries of browser based gaming.

Please feel free to browse the site: http://www.ratsclan.com/

Also, here’s a replay of one of my recent games: http://www.ratsclan.com/game/ba6b6a4e/

This is also my first ever work on a WordPress or bbPress site, so any feedback is much appreciated!

Can you please add:

apply_filters( ‘widget_title’, $title );

to the bbPress widget titles? I’m pretty sure this should be standard implementation within widgets.

Hello,

Is there any way to keep the bbpress-ar.mo file safe ?

Is it possible to keep the language file inside wp-content/languages ?

Thanks

@rossagrant – The display role is actually a bit different than taking the literal role from the user. It uses capabilities rather than the role, to adjust the output based on the user’s ability.

See the bbp_get_user_display_role function for more.

It does this because it needs to handle Inactive users (spam/deleted) as well as anonymous/logged-out users, neither of which have a literal role, but also have different “roles” in the forum, for lack of a better way to put it.

“Member” is the ambiguous word I used for “user is registered, but does not actually have a literal role on this site in the database.”

Open to suggestions here, if it’s too confusing.

Hi All
After installing and activating the plugin I have the following message, any ideas on how to get rid of this?

Fatal error: Call to undefined function user_can() in /homepages/**/*****/htdocs/**/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/topics/capabilities.php on line 226

I do not know the wordpress version as I cannot access the information, the bb plugin was downloaded today. I believe the theme installed was Atahulpa

[markkelly1982]

I’ve narrowed the above problem down a bit more:

The ‘Participant’ who created the forum though the group cannot post topics. Everyone else can post to it.

[Sami Keijonen]

Thanks Pippin. Justin Tadlock gave me same advice to go into that file. Let me tell you that it’s little out of my head. But I definitely try this out and report here if I find a solution.

$query->set( 'meta_key', '_bbp_last_active_time' );
$query->set( 'orderby', 'meta_value' );

This actually works better because now sticky posts are in their ‘natural’ position, not last.

[markkelly1982]

Hey John,

I’m having the following issue:

Participants cannot create topics or reply to topics on forums that have been created through the ‘Groups’ section.

They can create topics or reply to topics on forums that have been created direct though the forums section.

On the forums that have been created through the ‘Groups’ section it returns the following:

ERROR: You do not have permission to reply.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mark

But the deleted posts/topics can’t be the problem because the deleted topics in bbpress show up in the trash of wp. The exact number transfers. The exact number of users transfer correctly. So those are clear migrations with no problems.

The exact number of topics transfer correctly. But it is that link between the topics and the users that transfer incorrectly.

The new version of bbpress has lists instead of tables and looks allot more like this theme now! YAY!

[Olivier Lettinga]

Thnx!

I just saw this post a bit too late and was already half way rewriting the original twentyten theme files.

Now this page: https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/ is also outdated then.

What is the proper way to make a child theme now?

[Pippin Williamson]

Stickies are pretty difficult to include with custom post types as WordPress doesn’t have native support for them. I’d suggest you look at how the bbp_has_topics() function works: https://bbpress.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/includes/topics/template-tags.php

If you look through that function you’ll see that bbPress manually pulls in all of the sticky posts and then passes the array of IDs to the “include” parameter in a second query.

[Pippin Williamson]

All user data is stored in the WordPress users and usermeta table in the core database. It is secure and will remain even if you deactivate bbPress.

I’m trying to create a custom forum index page which should look exactly like the default forum index page with forum names, number of topics, number of posts, last active topic etc. but sorted alphabetically based on forum names.

I’m looking at at bbp_has_forums, bbp_forums and bbp_list_forums inside /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-forum-template.php.

However, I’m puzzled which function to use and
What arguments/ parameters I should pass?
the comments in bbp-forum-template.php itself says the same parameters as WP_Query() but would it make sense at all to have something like “post_type” => “forum”
I’m sure one can be clearer/ more explicit about the parameters here in some form of documentation

I gave it wild tries as follows
1) The following gives me fatal error:

$args = array(

'orderby' => 'title',
'order' => 'ASC',

);

while (bbp_forums($args)){
bbp_the_forum();

echo bbp_get_template_part( 'content', 'archive-forum' );

}


The error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::have_posts() in C:\www\forums.local\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\bbp-includes\bbp-forum-template.php on line 109 Call Stack: 0.0004 333592 1. {main}() C:\www\forums.local\index.php:0 0.0006 337280 2. require(‘C:\www\forums.local\wp-blog-header.php’) C:\www\forums.local\index.php:17 0.3864 38499368 3. require_once(‘C:\www\forums.local\wp-includes\template-loader.php’) C:\www\forums.local\wp-blog-header.php:16 0.3920 38515824 4. include(‘C:\www\forums.local\wp-content\themes\bp-tap\custom-index.php’) C:\www\forums.local\wp-includes\template-loader.php:43 0.4732 38674368 5. bbp_forums() C:\www\forums.local\wp-content\themes\bp-tap\custom-index.php:42

2) While the following just takes forever to load:

$args = array(

'orderby' => 'title',
'order' => 'ASC',

);

while (bbp_has_forums($args)){
bbp_the_forum();

echo bbp_get_template_part( 'content', 'archive-forum' );

}


I’m using WordPress 3.4.2 and bbPress 2.1.2.
I’ve copied all files and directories from /wp-content/plugins/bbPress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/ to my theme directory.

Well at the moment, everyone except admin seems to be receiving the lable of ‘Member’ under there avatar in the forums.

That isn’t an option in the backend role drop down under settings—>forums so I could set every NEW signup member to ‘Participant’ from now on, although the difference in label may confuse the odd one or two.

I’m quite happy for BBPress to just assign the dynamic role of ‘member’ to everyone unless I select something else like ‘Moderator’ from the backend.

As long as all NEW members will still be given that ‘Member’ label and still allowed to post, then I wouldn’t need to tick that box.

Is that what would happen?

Sorry for sounding dense, I just want to understand it properly. 🙂

[John James Jacoby]

bbPress 2.2.1 takes another step towards automating this for installations with custom roles. If you have custom roles, bbPress will now fallback to the default role for those users.

[John James Jacoby]

Could it be that since the deleted posts in bbpress 1.1 are still in the database as there is no way to empty the deleted creating problems during integration?

Correct. The migration doesn’t *fix* anything, it migrates exactly what you already have.

[John James Jacoby]

Up to you and your needs. Personally, I’d tick the box, and I suspect you’ll want to too. The reason it’s there is more for installations like WordPress.com, where the process of adding a user to a blog actually means something completely different than it does under normal circumstances.

Also, if the box isn’t ticket, bbPress doesn’t create a profile for that user, because they won’t have a *real* role on the site. They’ll be registered, but have to assigned role; bbPress will just dynamically assign the default to them on the fly when they’re using the site.

[kannued]

For the problems with the original poster and post no longer linked together but attributed to anonymous for the most part:

[fuzzybee]

Thank you, John!

[andymacleod]

Thanks for the explanation. I think this is definitely the right step forward!

The next step forward? If bbpress could add/delete and edit existing forum roles without the need for a third-party plugin.

Thanks,

Andy

[fuzzybee]

Thanks, John, those are very helpful.

I managed to insert all the postmeta and I had a successful migration with plain PHP and MySQL a while back.

I suppose there is not off documentation in place yet and I’m just need to read codes, I think.

1 thing comes across as odd though: I’m using 2.1.2 and I seem to find the _insert_function‘s inside ...wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-forum-functions.php and so on instead of what you mentioned?

Are you speaking in terms of some older version bbPress?

[Haboukra]

Ok, I tried again and the user can see the reply, but not the lead topic. Hope that helps. Thank you for your work!

[Haboukra]

No, unfortunately it doesn’t. I wonder whether I messed sth up, because I tried to downgrade the plugin once. Although I have tried deinstalling and reinstalling and it didn’t change anything.
