The UI on BuddyPress’s end hasn’t been updated yet. If you have bbPress installed, and are using it to power your group forums, the BuddyPress forums component should be completely turned off.

It’s possible there’s an issue with BuddyPress 1.6 in this regard, but there wasn’t in my testing. I’ll take another look around.

[John James Jacoby]

Maybe related to Jetpack 2.0. I’m not able to duplicate this issue with just WordPress and bbPress installed.

Hi@all
dont know if is my installation or not.. After upgrading BBpress 2.2 editor users (role author) can’t use Editor because is not available and tabs Visual and HTML also not working .
As administrator works fine…
I have on my theme some shortcodes integrated into MCE. Just try to deactivate it but no success. If i shutdown BBPress all works back.
Any suggestions?

[John James Jacoby]

Will there be a core solution for this with bbpress?

If its a bbPress bug, then yes. It’s likely an issue with bbPress using multiple user roles, and it being a foreign concept to most other plugins.

[John James Jacoby]

Can’t tell if this is spam or not. It doesn’t sound like it has anything to do with bbPress.

I use iMember360 Membership plugin and experiencing same issues with our users not being able to click on topics (page not found). I will try out the plugin thanks @mmaunder.

Will there be a core solution for this with bbpress?

Posted a fix for s2member issues here -> https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fix-for-users-of-s2member-and-bbpress-2-2/

[Darren Ethier (nerrad)]

There’s roles issues with s2member and the new released version of bbPress 2.2. I created a small little plugin that along with the “repair” tools bbPress makes available applies new roles to all the existing users you have with s2member roles.

Go here for the plugin -> https://gist.github.com/4120493 – make sure you read the instructions at top of file.

Thanks so much @jmdodd!

I had some redirect code in /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php, which redirected user straight to the forum page when they clicked on a group, instead of the group’s homepage which a lot of our users found confusing.

I just had to change the last line from “forums” to “forum” and that seems to have done the trick.


function redirect_group_home() {
global $bp;
$path = clean_url( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] );
$path = apply_filters( 'bp_uri', $path );
if (bp_is_group_home() && strpos( $path, $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['home']['slug'] ) === false ) {
$bp->groups->current_group->status == 'private' || $bp->groups->current_group->status == 'hidden') {
if ($bp->groups->current_group->status == 'public' || ($bp->groups->current_group->is_user_member && $bp->groups->current_group->status == 'private') || ($bp->groups->current_group->is_user_member && $bp->groups->current_group->status == 'hidden')) {
// bp_core_redirect( $path . 'forums/' );
bp_core_redirect( $path . 'forum/' );
}
}
}


@johnjamesjacoby feel free to toy around with website and test the installation. The link is in my previous post. I’m not using S2members though, but User Role Editor. I still need to do some more thorough testing before I move all this onto my production website.

[Mark Maunder]

Sorry I entered wordfence dot org as my email address an then edited it a few seconds later to my correct email which is mark at wordfence dot com. You must have loaded the page faster than I could edit. Sorry about that.

I’ve implemented the fix suggested here with the User Role Editor plugin:

http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/dont-upgrade-to-bbpress-2-2/

It works like a charm and we’re up and running again with it on our production site.

BuddyPress has me install bbPress, and when I disable BuddyPress’ forums it makes the forum page look like a blank profile (?) with Private or Public messaging buttons.

I’m confused. I just want the “New Topic” button to work.

[rossagrant]

No worries JJ, I’ll wait for the docs.

So how do you envisage what the best way forward would be for site owners that use membership plugins?

Is there anything we can build into BBPress to enable the ‘Participant’ level being attributed to all users excpt admins or unless it’s changed otherwise?

I’m not quite sure how to move forward.

I could use a user role capability plugin, but is that not just complicating things?

Also, where does the ‘member’ label come from that I’m seeing for regular members? It’s not actually a role that is selectable in the backend.

‘Participant’ is as close as I can find to be suitable for normal members that have their role assigned by the S2 Member plugin I use for membership.

Can u try to fix anchor gap caused by wp admin bar? 🙂

Eg: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-2-1/page/2/#post-120319 😛

[beingattractive]

works great except now my user admin section is messed up http://www.freeimagehosting.net/ujyu3

[Anonymous User 7670885]

Maybe a small plugin for choose the button(s) to show in bbpress is a good idea 🙂

[projetRSSMO]

Thank you for the fast reply. However, since i’m really no programmer at all, I have no idea what you mean. English is also a second language for me.

“Try display: block;’ing the main content div, or the wrapper around your content.”

The first part of the sentence does not make sense to me, and I don’t understand what you mean by “wrapper”.

Are you suggesting that I modify a CSS file? If so, you’ll have to tell me exactly where and how!

The other weird display problem that I get is since I activated bbPress, the page of the installed plugins menu (admin dashbord) does not show up when I click on it. I have to mouse over for some elements to show up. I can also reduce the size of my browser, and the parts of the page that are “hidden” suddenly appear once I resize the page to a big size. Weird stuff. Otherwise eveything runs perfectly.

I’d just like to make forum members able to easily edit their posts.

Thank you.

[John James Jacoby]

Sounds like the problem is s2Member using set_role() which wipes out all roles a user might have.

Basically, s2member is not compatible with users having multiple roles.

Tried emailing you a few times, got bounced back.

[Anonymous User 7670885]

Like from object… No more Ultimate TinyMCE (no more other button except wp default) in Fancy editor after latest (2.2) bbpress update :/

[Mark Maunder]

John I’d be more than happy to set up a linux VPS with wp.org installed with s2members and bbpress configured to reproduce the issue. If that would help you get a fix out sooner, let me know and I’ll get it up within a few minutes. Drop me an email at mark at wordfence dot com.

Mark

[Mark Maunder]

Thanks, I just came back to confirm that it’s S2Members related.

When I create a new user they can view the forum URL’s. But when I change their role to “s2Member level 2” or any s2 level, they instantly get 404’s on all forum pages.

Heading over to s2forums to try and find that post you mentioned.

[John James Jacoby]

@rossagrant – Not yet, need to write something up soon though.

[John James Jacoby]

There’s a topic in the S2Member forums that explains how to fix this. This is related to having customized roles and capabilities setup that bbPress isn’t looking in the database for any longer.

It probably sounds and feels counter-intuitive now, but the new roles and capabilities in bbPress 2.2 are actually intended to prevent these exact problems in the future. The forums roles and caps in bbPress 2.0 and 2.1 weren’t very cooperative, so everyone rolled their own.

Now that we’ve dialed it in, everything you’ve customized isn’t playing nicely anymore.

Unclear exactly what the *best* solution is for everyone, since every installation is different. Anyone want to volunteer to give me a peek into their installation and let me toy around?

[John James Jacoby]

Who said you weren’t being helpful?

Much of it is the same. You’ll want to focus on:

• turning the BuddyPress forums component Off
• the bbPress 1.1 import tool
• the BuddyPress settings in: Settings > Forums

[LabSecrets]

For those <= 2.1.3 what parts should I focus upon to make them 100% accurate?

I’m happy to update the video to improve it for folks who need the same. Based on the comments to the video, it seemed to have been useful to the community and helped many folks out.

Just trying to help…

your feedback is greatly appreciated

[John James Jacoby]

They’re new in bbPress 2.2.

• Spectators can view the forum, but cannot contribute.
• Visitors are what you are before you become a participant. You have the same capabilities as a participant, but you haven’t participated yet.

Could probably remove/hide the Visitor role from display, since it’s not really useful for anyone to manually select it.
