@phy9pas Which bbPress version are you using?

[phy9pas]

I’m running WP 5.5 and BBP 2.6.5

It seems that WP5.5 has deprcated the method wp_make_content_images_responsive but it is still being hooked in
/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/filters.php
lines 194 & 195

This is causing a warning message to be thrown

UPDATE:

I found the issue. 2 weeks back I added the following function to functions.php > child theme, because I wanted to rename the Keymaster to Administrator:

// change user role name 'Verwalter' to 'Administrator'
function ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names() {
	
	// Keymaster
        bbp_get_keymaster_role() => array(
            'name'         => 'Administrator',
            'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() )
        )
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names' );

It successfully renamed the role and I was done with the issue. However, it apparently removed all the other default bbpress roles. I thought this function is exclusively for renaming roles as the name suggests.

I went back and included all other default roles into that function in the child theme (The complete rename roles function can be seen eg here.) Now I see all roles in settings > forum > automatically assign roles. Also in user management I see all forum roles. Also, new forum registrants are automatically assigned to subscriber.

problem solved.

something strange going on!

I can only suggest it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Then come back

I’d start by taking out any code in your child theme’s functions file !

I just noticed the following: as a site admin I cannot change forum roles of users. I can only assign the role ‘administrator’ or ‘-nor roles for these forums-‘. No option to assign moderators or anything else.

How could this have happened @robin-w? At one point I installed buddypress, but deinstalled it again.

I already deactivated and activated bbpress and went through repair forums > default user roles. When I did the repair all users were assigned forum role ‘administrator’.

My bbPress forums page contains “bbPress Forums” just above the page title. Please advise on how to remove this.

Theme: Creativ Blog

[Robin W]

Yes I understand – your theme is doing that, not bbpress.

Hi there,

I am currently setting up a bbpress forum. This is why I post a view threads atm because I have questions. Hopefully, it’s not perceived as spam.

I know that this is not a bbpress issue, more of a wordpress thing in general. However, I guess that most bbpress developers/admins have solved this issue – therefore I ask it here.

I want to disable access to wordpress admin dashboard for all normal forum participants (role: subscriber/participant).

I have done some searching and found that it could be achieved through the following custom php.

disable wp-admin:

// redirect back to homepage and not allow access to wp backend for subscribers
function rkk_redirect_admin(){
	if ( ! wp_doing_ajax() && ! current_user_can( 'edit_posts' ) ) {
        wp_redirect( site_url() );
        exit;
    }
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'rkk_redirect_admin' );

disable wp admin toolbar:

// disable wp toolbar on the frontend of website for subscribers
function rkk_disable_admin_bar() {
    if( ! current_user_can('edit_posts') )
        add_filter('show_admin_bar', '__return_false');
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'rkk_disable_admin_bar' );

I included that code in functions.php of childtheme. However, it does not seem to have an effect. Subscriber can still access wp-admin and can see the wp toolbar in the front end.

Anybody have a good solution for this? I don’t want to use an extra plugin for that.

thank you for helping. best regards, peter

I noticed that new users are automatically assigned to the forum role administrator, eventhough automatic role assignment as forum admin for new users is not checked under settings > forum > user settings for forum.

Why is this? Am I missing something?

New users should just get the wordpress default role subscriber and forum role participant.

Hopefully you can help. best regards, peter

Hi Guys

I have just added my first plugin to the WordPress Plugin Directory:

Add AutoSave | Fullscreen to TinyMCE

I wonder if it can be added to the list here on the site (or maybe in bbp style pack list)?

If you have the TinyMCE toolbar activated in your bbPress forum then it should hopefully show the extra two toolbar icons as details in the description for the plugin.

It works for me – has done so for many months. I just decided to make it available to the community and updated it to use the officially supported TinyMCE as was released with WordPress 5.5.

I am no plugin guru by any means, if it it helps anyone then it will have served it’s purpose.

Have a good day.

Andrew

Hi,

I want to display a forum specific sidebar on all bbp pages. For this I include the desired widgets in design > widgets > Forum. The sidebar is correctly shown on many bbpress pages, but not all. For example the forum index page and the bbpress profile page (‘/forum/user-base/username/’) does not have the sidebar.

How can I have the sidebar (named ‘Forum’) display on those pages as well? I am looking for a little php function which I can include in the child theme functions.php. I am using the Enfold theme which generally seems to work very well with bbpress.

I had the same problem when I was experimenting with buddypress (I decided to not use buddypress though). To have the sidebar displayed on all buddypress pages we came up with the following working function:

//custom forum sidebar on buddypress pages
add_filter('avf_custom_sidebar','avf_custom_sidebar_mod');
function avf_custom_sidebar_mod($sidebar) {
	if ( bp_current_component() ) {
		$sidebar = "Forum";
	}
	return $sidebar; 
}

Can this function be adjusted to work with bbpress? I thought maybe just change the if condition to if ( bbp_loaded() ). But it does not seem to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, peter

Hi, I found this thread. How is this project going?

We are building a mobile app that connects to the bbPress forum on our site. We have been told that bbPress does not have its own API. Can WP REST API handle the following:

1) Create a new topic
2) Reply to a topic
3) pull out topics and replies by a specific user
4) pull out profile info of a user who created a topic or replied to a topic
5) subscribe / unsubscribe to a topic.

Are there any limitations?
Where can we find the documentation?

Thank you so much!

Jing

Whenever I activate bbpress on my site, my theme breaks…

This started happening with the WordPress 5.5 Upgrade yesterday.

If I deactivate the bbPress, then make my theme changes. Then reactivate it, all works. But I am not allowed to do ANY searchs in addplugins (Stalls) no deletes or theme page changes.

#bbpress-forums is the ID for forums – suggest you ask here on how to hide breadcrumb

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/breadcrumb-navxt/

[mindsunwind]

Actually I found out why. apparently bbpress and bbtweaks were trying to live in the same page so just by unchecking “Prefix all forum content with the Forum Root slug (Recommended)” the issue was solved

[sab]

Hello,
I would like to select with CSS selector for BBpress forum pages to hide Breadcrumb NavXT.
Is there a CSS code ?
THanks for your help.

[mindsunwind]

Hello. I have installed bbpress and bb teaks. I have created 2 topics in the forum. but whenever I click on either one, it automatically redirects me to my home page instead of giving me the pages to add/edit the posts.

Any help is appreciate.

[vorahasti]

I have to sort topics and replies in bbpress forum changing code how can I do it?

[2cats]

Our forum is behind a membership wall, but since updating to the latest version of bbPress forum users who have signed up for new topic notifications under various forums are not receiving those notifications. We have bbPress 2.6.5, bbPress Private Groups 3.8.3, and GD bbPress Attachments 4.1. We use SendGrid for mail delivery so I can see that topic reply notifications are being sent and received. Any ideas where I can look? I’ve gone into the “Repair Forums” and “Upgrade Forums” functions and run everything that looked applicable, including upgrade user topic and user forum subscriptions. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

[greywolfron]

I would like to know how to make bbpress show the username on the posts instead of the Users First and Last name.

Wordpress 5.5 with bbpress 2.6.5

[Robin W]

You’d just create a page – say called ‘registration’ and put the form in there. The form would mail you and you’d go into dashboard>Users>create new to create a new one.

If you are using bbpress widgets, then there is an area within the widget setup that lets you put in the registration url, which is the permalink of the page you set up.

[KenTheriot]

Robin, about using a form for manual registration – where would I put the form? Is there a specific page that bbPress creates where I’d need to put the form? I use Gravity Forms. Thanks!
