Hi Lynq
Yes we have a link on our website that takes the user to our forum installed at
http://www.s4ndb0x.com/forums/forum/b3tz-issues/

that link includes parameters to send a userid, password, email, first and last name. If the user is in the wordpress DB then we log them in. (if not we register them using insert_new_user) this all works and the user shows up as being logged in, they can reply to the current topic if they wish

The problem is that when they click on another topic bbpress does not see them as logged in any longer.

thanks
bryan

@Lynq:
Thanks for the tip!
Never saw the “Forum Search” here – nice but not what I really want.

That would mean 6 searches (because we have 6 forums here currently) plus using the additional “Reply Search” if I am in a long (single) topic thread…

Also, both search boxes are only visible at second or third sight, better would be the occasional search box at the top or so…

And if we are already on topic: just implement a proper search in bbPress core, that’s what the users want. Every user that asked me for any bbPress 2.x help wanted a proper forum search. Everyone. Period. So there’s really a need for that. (I’d love to drop my search widget plugin ASAP!!!)

One could find some information, yes, but it’s really ineffective and NOT how it should be as an native implementation.

A proper full text search over the complete forum – and an extra search over the Codex here – or both combined would be of greatest usefulness for all users here I guess!

If it’s not possible just implement a proper Google Custom Search (already on WordPress.org…) — maybe I am doing just that for myself: setting up another Google Custom Search because the current situation does just not satisfy me (and don’t fits to this community here IMHO).

Thanks, Dave 🙂

Hi all, have just finished installing bbpress on a website. Got everything set up and ready to go, site was meant to go online today. Went to test forum and add first sticky post. Upon clicking ‘submit’ it comes back saying ‘Error: Are you sure you wanted to do that?’ in a pink box. I haven’t changed any bbpress files except bhp-common-template, changed forum base breadcrumb to point to my own page. Thats it! Any idea’s? I’ve also added forum pages to custom post types so I can add my theme options. Might that do anything? Using latest bbpress, compatability theme, and InFocus by MySiteMyWay as my theme.

Edit: Have removed custom post types and tested, no different. Created new forums and tested, no different. Tested with forum profile and a site admin profile, no different. Also tested with different browsers, doesn’t work 🙁

Have you done anything with bbPress at all?
You could delete the plugin if you haven’t done anything with it and then re-install if you need it back.

[Lynq]

When you say send the user to your bbPress forum and log them in, is this happening during another process or are they clicking a link or? I am not too sure on how the sending is working and just wanted to get it clarified so I could try and help.

All the best.

[Lynq]

I decided my quickest route to upgrading was to start from scratch and copy across any of the CSS I used that I would need. This allowed me to clean up my bbPress theme and get it working as perfect as I can with my site.

Good luck!

[Lynq]

If I go into a forum category and not just the latest posts on the home page I see a forum search to the left, what do you see if you visit this page: https://bbpress.org/forums/forum/installation/

[David Decker]

What version of bbPress do you use?
If you have 2.0.x then Genesis compatibility is included already.

But with newest versions 2.1+ you also need the Genesis Connect plugin called “bbPress Genesis Extend” to be installed which can be downloaded here:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/

Hope that helps, Dave 🙂

[David Decker]

Please do add a proper search function here on bbPress.org!

Currently it’s a pain in the ass to find older topics that are not tagged or just to find certain replies. The topic list and tag cloud are nice but really not enough!

Example: I am regularly searching for “german” here to find users searching for translations and help. It’s so difficult currently to find older stuff that is about 4 weeks old.

So, please come on and add a nice search box in the sidebar or header here with full text search!

THANKS!

@HansRuedi Keller:
These strings are from the template files for bbPress that this theme as bundled – so you need to contact the theme author that he updates his stuff – obviously he has not updated to 2.1+ compatibility yet.

You can also update this yourself:
1st alternative: delete the packaged bbPress template files from the theme and use bbPress “Theme Compat” (in bbPress settings)
2nd alternative: edit the template files yourself, use the theme’s textdomain for all strings and make your own translations/language files then.

This should work then.

@netweb:
User @HansRuedi Keller is already aware of this using/installing stuff 🙂

Thanks, Dave 🙂

I installed 2.1 and I’m trying to preserve as many customizations (style and pages) from my older version BBpress forum. But this looks like an entirely new scheme? I can see it wants to try to inherit my WordPress style, but I want it to look like the older BBpress style that I created. Is this possible or do I have to recreate the wheel?

Deeply frustrating and terribly little documentation, any help appreciated.

[bryanforst]

Hey all,

I had a previous post where i logged a user into bbpress by passing credentials from our site in the url. that worked fine but we were not using bbpress embedded in wordpress at the time.

Now we have changed the configuration by setting up a full WP site with bbpress as a plugin.

the goal is still the same: Send a user to our bbpress forum and automatically log them in.

We are using a single forum so i have made changes to

bbpress\bbp-theme-compat\bbpress\content-single-forum.php

Currently the user is logged in correctly. However when any topic link is pressed the “You must log in….” message is shown. Apparently is_user_logged_in returns false.

Any help on how to make the logged in user persist to more than the first page would be greatly appreciated.

We are using bbpress 2.1.2 and wp 3.4.1

My code for logging in a user is:

<br />
$loginCreds = array();<br />
$loginCreds['user_login'] = $user_login;<br />
$loginCreds['user_password'] = $_GET['password'] ;<br />
$loginCreds['remember'] = true ;<br />
$user = wp_signon( $loginCreds, false );<br />
if ( is_wp_error($user) ){<br />
echo $user-&gt;get_error_message();<br />
echo $_GET['password'] ;<br />
} else {<br />
$user_id = $user-&gt;ID;<br />
wp_set_current_user($user_id);<br />
wp_set_auth_cookie($user_id, true);<br />
}

Hello

I’m trying to transform the bbpress 1.1 in a php framework for web.

I would like to know how to get all Plugins bbpress 1.1 for dowload, is in zip format or equivalent.

thankyou

[CraigIW]

I am using wordpress 3.4.1

I installed bbpress and the bbpress menu shortcuts plugin, then deactivated them again. I am now left with a non-functional and only partialy rendered widgets.php

As you can see, the page stops during rendering information about the bbPress:Topic Views widget.

How can I fix this? Can I remove these widgets manually? Should they not have been removed when I deactivated bbpress?

Thanks.

With the current way of doing things in bbPress, you can implement such a feature with a bit of theme hackery, so you’re essentially looking for someone to develop a standized theme for this sort of layout?

I have just make a fresh install of wordpress 3.4.1 + buddypress 1.6.1 + bbpress 2.1.2 — multisite using subdomains.

Same problem. Same conflict.

Hi, I can help you with this. I am doing the same and needed to figure it out as well. Hopefully they’ll add this in updated versions… Seems like a basic feature that can add awesome visual option via CSS. Anyways, I will assume you know a bit of CSS. For the PHP, I recommend that you create a folder “bbpress” inside your WP theme folder, i.e. wp-content/themes/yourtheme/bbpress Then go to /plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/bbpress and copy/paste the file “loop-single-reply.php” to your newly created bbpress folder from above. What this does is now make bbPress use that file instead of the default one. Now you can make changes to it and not worry about updates to bbPress overwriting your changes. On line ~ 30, you’ll see an opening DIV with id=”post-*some php”…

On the next line, enter this:

$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $reply_id );
$abc_role = bbp_get_user_display_role( bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id ) );


Then the next line that’s already there should be:

div class="bbp-reply-author"

Turn it into this:

div class="bbp-reply-author ?php echo $abc_role ?>"

Add the bracket < before the first ?php in that above statment… I dont know why its not letting me show it.

And there you have it. The CSS class name will now contain the verbatim user role… This means that "Key Master" will actually be in the class.. No problem, just use:

div.Key { color: #abc }

to target the admin. Sure, “Master” will be in there but, but it’ll be taken as 2 different classes, “Key” and “Master”. With additional pvp, you could turn it into “keymaster” but its not necessary for 99.9% of applications and would just run more PHP. I’m literally doing this right now, so i havent checked other template files, but it’s the same thing.. So for instance, if you want to change the css in the index for only admins, to have lets say a special color link, find the template file that displays the index, add that same snippet in, and it will work the same. have fun. 🙂

Woman, actually.

What theme are you using – the twentyten that comes with bbpress? If so, I would put it in css/bbpress.css.

[tarciso_melo]

“2. Registered users can’t write reply’s or new topics, the following message appears: “You cannot create new topics at this time.”

Same problem for me too (just item nº2), but all my sub-blogs are in subdomains. I tried to activate/deactivate all plugins, and I found the conflict is with BuddyPress.

wordpress 3.4.1 + buddypress 1.6.1 + bbpress 2.1.2 — multisite using subdomains

I just want that every blog of my network have its own forum

Hi, please forgive me if I’m being stupid. I’m a bbpress newbie and just set up my first forum.

All is looking good. Except when I log out it takes me to the default wordpress login page. Is this default behaviour?

It’s a commercial site so I don’t want users to see the wordpress login at all if possible. Can I have it redirect to a page when logging out? e.g. back to the page they came from, or the site/forum home page?

Many thanks for any help!
