I updated to bbPress 2.2.1 last night and had the same problem with Ultimate TinyMCE plugin. The plugin sued to work beautifully with bbPress, now I get the default fancy editor. I’m not a PHP guru so I’ve been trying to avoid messing around in the code as Michael suggests. Is there any other option to get that editor enabled (it does show up in the dashboard versions of new Topic and I miss the table drawer)

regards, Paul

Awesome, let’s try a fresh conversion…..:( Still mostly Anonymous associated with the topics.

anyone having the same issue as me? Participants who create forums thru the group can’t post to their own forum. I’ve played around with the roles and it’s only happening to the ‘participant’ role.. appreciate any help..

[greenmeanie]

FIXED thanks

[John James Jacoby]

Ah; yeah. That was fixed over an hour ago, when the bug crept in. I force-busted the theme-cache again to be safe.

John James Jacoby : the replies didn’t show on the page – just mass of white space below the original post. They appeared in View: Source OK, that’s where I was reading them.

[sallymoos]

I couldn’t read replies either for about an hour but just started working again ?

[John James Jacoby]

I don’t get this I can’t read the replies on here?

Can you be more specific? I don’t understand what that means.

[Sami Keijonen]

There is filter called twentyten_author_bio_avatar_size in user-details.php. Is this intentional, or should it be like bbpress_author_bio_avatar_size?

[greenmeanie]

I don’t get this I can’t read the replies on here?

[John James Jacoby]

It’s not that crazy. bbPress has used this pattern for almost 9 years now.

• /forums/ is your root
• /forums/forum/slug/ is a single forum
• /forums/topic/slug/ is a single topic
• /forums/users/slug/ is a single user

Regarding your theme, a quick read through some topics here will help you. Try with a default theme, refresh your permalinks, etc…

[John James Jacoby]

Redownload/reinstall 2.2.2; was another hiccup in the zip and was quickly fixed.

Sorry about that. These things are difficult to catch.

[sallymoos]

Same with me too 🙁

[greenmeanie]

OK I upgraded to BBPRESS 2.2 and now I have this issue.

How to I get rid of the HOME/FORUM text kicking my FORUM to the right?

Hi,

I’m thinking about starting a new forum with bbpress. Nouw i justed started setting things up and the first thing i see is a crazy permalink like this :

http://www.mywebsite.nl/forums/forum/my-new-forum/

Why is there forum/forum ??

And about the forum over here , when i click a sub forum i dont see any topics, that is in internet explore, chrome and mozilla houw can this be ?

Thanks

[Shane Gowland]

This editor used on bbPress.org is essentially the same as the one that will appear by default. The only difference is the tabs have been changed into textual links and added to the toolbar.

I agree that an interface to hotlink (or upload) images would be a welcome addition. There are some good plugins that will give you this functionality, including bbPress Post Toolbar and GD bbPress Attachments.

2.2.2

• RTL and i18n fixes
• Improved user profile theme compatibility
• Fixed incorrect link in credits page
• Fixed admin area JS issues related to topic suggest
• Fixed template part reference in extras user edit template

Thanks everyone that’s been contributing feedback here in the forums and patches on trac!

Hey JJJ, thanks for helping out again.

Hmm. When I comment out line 633 in bbpress/includes/core/theme-compat.php,
//bbp_remove_all_filters( 'the_content' );
the problem is fixed — the custom WP_Query’s all have the correct paragraph breaks. So it still seems related to me somehow. But of course I don’t want to just keep it commented out. I’m sure it’s there for a reason, and I don’t want to edit core files.

Also, I just added is_main_query() and in_the_loop() to the templates that do my custom WP_Query queries. And even those show is_main_query = TRUE, which seems weird, huh. Though in_the_loop = False, as it should be, so I’m not sure why that wouldn’t prevent the problem.

Any further insight much appreciated!

[John James Jacoby]

It’s most likely not because of this. Even here at bbPress.org, the header, sidebar, and footer all create new WP_Query objects without any issues.

bbPress 2.2 even adds additional checks for is_main_query() and in_the_loop() to make sure this doesn’t happen.

[htz77]

Hi. My site has a custom WP_Query (outside the main loop) in the header (in header.php), and another in the footer (in footer.php). On all/only my bbPress pages, the paragraph breaks in this content are missing, because wpautop is not applied as it normally is.

That’s because bbPress REMOVES THE FILTER “the_content”. I tracked it down to bbp_remove_all_filters( ‘the_content’ ); in bbpress/includes/core/theme-compat.php, line 633.

In that same file, I also see bbp_restore_all_filters(), which looks like it should fix the problem. But it’s not actually working on my custom queries.

So how can I apply bbp_restore_all_filters() to my custom WP_Query calls?

Thanks for any help here!

MY WORDPRESS INFO:
Wordpress v3.4.2
bbPress v2.2.1

RELATED POST:
I also had a similar issue a month ago (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/conflict-with-custom-wp_query-in-header-php/) where bbPress conflicted with these same WP_Query calls in my header and footer. But in that case, the main content from bbPress was REPLACING the content from my WP_Query. I somehow solved that problem by just changing my slugs. But I now see it was probably caused by add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘bbp_replace_the_content’ );, also in this theme-compat.php file.

Hi

I looked at version 2.2, updated my bbpress, but didn’t find how to manage forum access on an individual user basis.

Has this feature been implemented?

 

[bbuser12345]

I’m confident you’ll figure it out.

I wish I was as confident…

It’s fine to be frustrated, but your tone towards the volunteers trying to help you is pretty crappy.

My tone is one of exasperation (maybe desperation). I have been using BBPress for 5 years, and stuck with it through “the dark years”. I have read all the help pages, and I know my way around a command line, yet this converter, built ostensibly to help non-experts, does not work and I cannot find help. I have a message board that is falling apart, and being overrun by spam, and I have spent countless hours trying to migrate the database using the converter. Which is just the first step in migrating the forum.

If you don’t like the documentation, change it. It’s a WordPress site where everyone is an Editor, and you can be part of the solution just like every other volunteer, or you can be upset because the amazing free software you’re using isn’t as polished as we all know it could be. If only we had more volunteers… Paradox.

I am not sure whether to laugh or cry. If I knew what was wrong with the documentation, I would change it. Of course if I knew what was wrong with the documentation I would likely not have a problem in the first place and would never have sought out the documentation. There is your paradox. People who seek out documentation are by definition having trouble and are likely not expert users. They are the last people who are qualified to improve the documentation.

We brought the old bbConverter into bbPress in 2.1. bbConverter development stopped, and I took it over and brought it into bbPress core along with several much needed fixes. Trying to use software that you know is abandoned and others have not succeeded with is generally a bad idea.

Thats great information!! Why does it not appear either on the bbconverter plug-in page or on the https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/ page?

I should note that I don’t see any way for me to add this information to the documentation of either the old deprecated plug-in (which gets downloaded and installed many times a day apparently) or on the codex page for the converter.

The connection failure doesn’t provide the feedback you’re wishing for. There is no “your password was incorrect but the username is okay” level of feedback, so you’re on your own. Based on how capable and experienced you are, let’s assume it’s correct anyway.

Wait! You said connection failure… how do you know it is a connection failure? Is there something in the message (or that is not in the message) that tells you that? If so why does the console not report:

“You have failed to connect to the server. At least one of these three things is wrong: The Old Database’s Server Name, The Database’s User Name or the old Database’s User Password. Unfortunately, this converter cannot tell you which one or more of these things is wrong”

Instead the error I get is one I would expect if I had the name of a table in my database wrong in a query.

Look, I know that you cannot pass on information to the user that the server does not report. But when I access mySQL databases and servers the wrong way with a mySQL client or R or python or myPHP I get error messages with error codes. Things like “#1045 Cannot log in to the MySQL server”. This lets me know what I have screwed up so I can fix it. Is it a missing table or the wrong database name? Or am I not even connecting to the server at all? Again if for some reason you are not getting these messages then I guess I am “on my own”.

So… you’ll have the best luck if your bbPress 1.1 tables are in the same database as your current WordPress installation. Maybe try exporting those tables out of the other database, and importing them into the current one, and give it another shot.

Even more good information! Thank you. I would edit the documentation to let others know about this, but every time I try to log in to the codex site for BBpress, I get taken to the buddypress site.

=======================================================================
For what it is worth:

My tone is also one of frustration. BBPress is an awesome bit of code and you guys have spent a great deal of time making it do really awesome things, but as is the case with many opensource projects, no one seems to care if anyone can actually use the awesome product.

I am a part of a pretty big opensource community, and bad documentation is a systematic problem. People make amazing things then fail to help users actually use the code. I write lots of code that I end up releasing to that community. I spend a good bit of time making my documentation work for people who are newbies to using the program. I assume they picked up the program just to use my package/functionality and I write my help with that in mind. Why?, because I want them to use my code, I want them to learn about the program, and I eventually hope they will become a part of the community and contribute.

I’m using the latest WP, BuddyPress and bbPress.

I have the new bbPress forums turning on and working nicely inside new BuddyPress groups (i.e. groups that I create now, since loading the new bbPress). But for existing BuddyPress groups there seems to be a problem. The group admin for existing groups still has the correct bbPress sub-page asking me to tick the box to set up a forum for that group, which I tick and it saves OK. But when I click on the “forum” tab in that group I just get the error message; “This group does not currently have any forums.”

How do I turn on forums in existing BuddyPress groups please?

[John James Jacoby]

Since I can’t see your forums at all, it’s impossible to be helpful. Private forums are for registered users only.
