Before upgrading bbpress, it worked perfectly with qtranslate.
After upgrading bilingual content doesn’t work any more.

Anyone with the same problem and / or a solution?

Grtz.

These errors have come up a few times here recently. It’s a regression in a way, but it’s also the themes doing-it-wrong, and using bbPress loops outside of their intended purposes. My fault for not documenting them more in-depth, or protecting the data from being used incorrectly.

It’s most likely because of the themes using bbp_has_replies() outside of the main query loop. More helpful than the error itself would be the backtrace of what actually caused the error to occur.

I’m running the latest version of bbpress with a BP 1.5 installation. Love, love bbpress!!!

I’m using a combination of bbpress central forums and BP group forums. I was having issues getting the BP group forums to work after installing/uninstalling bbpress, so I deactivated the BP group forums and planned on just using the bbpress forums. Then I saw a nifty little selection in bbpress to “let BP Groups have their own forums” so I turned that on and got group forums back for BP! Back on track and cooking with gas! (Or so I thought.)

Everything works great on the bbpress forums side, except for Favoriting (yes new verb) and Subscribing to topics, (well they work if I right-click the links and open in a new tab or window–not a biggie right now).

The two biggest issues I have are on the BP groups forums side. (1) I get the following error when trying to view a topic:

“Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::have_posts() in /home/content/46/7943846/html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-reply-template.php on line 168”. (Funny enough the Favorite and Subscribe options work really well on this broken screen.) I can post new topics just fine.

(2) When I post a topic in a BP Group forum, it shows up in the main activity feed and in my personal activity feed, but not on the activity feed for the group.

I’m using Suffusion along with the Suffusion BP and Suffusion bbpress Packs, but the issues persist even when I use the default BP theme. I deactivated my plugins one by one just to rule them out and no change in the result.

Reactivating Group Forums on the BP side and selecting “use existing bbpress install” gives me 404 errors and no BP forums at all. Don’t know what to do. Well I could just not use the BP groups forums. OR I could sledgehammer the whole install and start from scratch. Would like to avoid either of those options if possible though.

I’m running bbpress 2.1 and Buddypress 1.5 and I’m seeing the same issue. On the Buddypress profile, Forums tab I have the following sections: Topics Started, Topics Replied To, Favorites and Subscriptions.

Nothing is showing under the Topics Replied To section, which should not be empty.

[kdude63]

Yeah, I found that in one of the CSS files in the bbpress themes folder, and changed it. Nothing happened. I’m assuming I have to add that manually to my theme’s style.css? :/

[Stephen Edgar]

#bbpress-forums .status-closed,
#bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
    color: #ccc;
}

Pretty easy to get this info from your browser developer tools, press F12 or right click the element and select ‘Inspect Element’

[Stephen Edgar]

a) I would suggest you contact the plugin author at http://ianhaycox.com/contact to see why all posts by some users are going into the moderation queue.

b) As per the plugin FAQ

> To approve multiple topics or replies you can use the bulk actions
> option. Click the pending link, select all topics or replies then Bulk
> Actions->Edit and change the status to Publish.

Again, ask the plugin author if that can be integrated into the plugin, better moderation tools are planned for future bbPress releases. https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1721

@ecykada See https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-change-the-language/ and https://pl.wordpress.org/contact/

[kdude63]

Thanks!

#bbpress-forums ul li { background: none; padding-left: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; }

I put that below the other line, and it works like a charm.

[John James Jacoby]

By default, you can target bbPress specific styling using the #bbpress-forums ID.

[kdude63]

By using that, it fixes it. But it removes bullets altogether in the blog section of the website. The bbpress bullets remain unaffected.

I also noticed that the bbpress bullets work, but the image bullets appear alongside them too.

[Lynq]

Tried something like this?

.bbpress .post-entry ul li { background: none; padding-left: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; }

[AAShepAA]

That is what I am looking for – just social buttons so that others can retweet, post on Facebook etc.

Can you please explain the “how to” on this a bit?

[kdude63]

.post-entry ul li{ background:url(images/ul-dot.png) no-repeat; padding-left:28px; margin-bottom:10px; }

This one little line of code is making my bbPress forums look like crap.

It’s difficult to explain, but you can look at my forums here and see how bullets are messing everything up. :/

The Theme I’m using is leetpress.

The Entire style.css is here.

What are you looking for, specifically?

Honestly, IMO would be to use the hooks bbPress provides and just place the social buttons yourself (assuming that’s what you are looking for)/

Folks I need a good Social plugin for the latest version of bbPress. If you one that is working for you, please recommend.

Thanks, Shep

I’m having some moderation issues on my site…

a) At least for some users, EVERYTHING they post is going to the moderation queue, despite settings both within WordPress (Settings–>Discussion) (which allows comments to be posted once there’s something approved by that author), within a plugin called “bbPress Moderation” (which allows topics and replies to be posted once there’s something approved by that author).

b) is there an easier way for an admin to publish topics and replies that go into moderation? Right now I have to manually “edit” each item and then click “publish”, which seems to take like 3 steps longer than WordPress’s default comment moderation system (where you can either bulk approve comments or where you can click “approve” instead of “edit” and “trash.”

I’ve tried turning off all plugins, toggling settings, and so forth, and nothing works. Please help! I’m running latest installations of WordPress, Buddypress, bbPress… GEnesis/Prose. Thank you.

Hey John, thanks for this. I was looking at those, particularly masonjames’ page here: https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

Do I need to do something to activate it to look for these things? I tried another test by moving the page-front-topics.php from the extras folder to the root of my theme, but no edits I do to that file seem to change the /topics/ page layout (which I’m assuming is that page… but perhaps I am wrong there).

Is there a list anywhere of what files control what layout’s? That might be helpful to make sure I am at least editing the right pages… 🙂

Thanks for your help!

[John James Jacoby]

Some helpful docs to get you started.

https://codex.bbpress.org/component/theme/

[John James Jacoby]

Most of this comes already baked into bbPress 2.1. No reason to duplicate these efforts.

[jeffvand]

I am trying to get set up with some theming and bbpress 2.1. I have added a bbpress folder to my theme and copied over the loop-forums.php file, but as soon as I do that I loose all the CSS. Is there some trick that I need to copy of css? I tried to move the bbpress.css file to the bbpress folder in my theme directory but that didn’t seem to help.

Thanks for any help you can provide. I’m just getting started with bbPress so this may be simple. Sorry if it is… The forums are pointing to old URL’s when I search…

[iamzippy]

Congrats on the 2.1 update, it rocks. But I do have one minor needle request to make concerning the exposure of user bio information. Even when there is none.

The Symptom:

“Hey Admin dude, I may be incognito and unremarkable, but why draw attention to me like this?”

Cause:

Not checking if the description field in the user profile is empty (user-details.php).

Twentyten’s native bio box code is wrapped in a conditional that calls a hookable function, get_the_author_meta( ‘description’ ). Twentyten defaults to skipping the bio box completely if the user profile ‘description’ field is empty (on both single posts and author archives).
And thanks to the hook, the author of a child theme can also prevent display of this stuff based on any criteria they choose — like, author bio info is shared with logged-in users only.

The bbPress function bbp_get_displayed_user_field() isn’t currently hookable :(, but this whole thing is fixable with 3 or 4 lines of code in a couple of files. It’s not so much a bug as a lapse in coding consistency. Whatever, it’s busting my chops right now. If I didn’t know better, I’d ask for my money back 😉

Could this be put right in the next update? Makes for better consistency with WordPress, imho 🙂

Meanwhile, in other bbPress core-hacking news…

‘I also have a needle about the way author URL construction is similarly unhookable, but that’s for another thread’

[jmm7574]

So what can I do from here? My forums still worked when bbPress 2.0.3 was still active. Until the theme author updates for bbPress 2.1, is there a way to revert back to 2.0.3 so my forums will still work?

[Jeff]

Hi, I am in the same exact problem. Which functions.php file do you add this to?

[ecykada]
