Mahalo … WP User Avatar works great with bbpress and bbstyle pack!

[John James Jacoby]

Hi there! Is this after updating to bbPress 2.6?

[sbmar]

Is there a reason that I cannot get the main CSS file (bbPress) in my child theme is not being read any longer? It is only looking for the bbpress.min.css file now?

[Chuckie]

I just tried a second time on my staging area and it had the same issue for number 9 on the steps. I don’t know how many more steps there are in the import process?

This time I checked a bit more on the topics imported and it seemed abit odd. For example, say that the topic list indicated that a topic had 5 comments. When I click the topic in many cases it has one.

But I know it is complicated to put many issues in one bbPress topic so I won’t digress. I await your direction re importing at stage 9.

[Chuckie]

I was not able to use the previous phpBB importer as it was failing right at the start. This new version seems to work better! However, I have some comments about this.

1/ A possible problem.

Here is my log (which I paused in the end):

2/ Feature Request

Because I was not able to previously import content I came up with a new simplified set of forum categories etc in my bbPress forum. Therefore, ideally I would love to be presented with a list of forums that are going to be imported so that I can map them to the existing forums I have created. So some would be merging several into one if that makes sense.

At the moment (even though I hit stop on point 9) I was able to view the forum and could seem many boards imported – a quick look it looked great. It is just that I wanted control over how the topics were imported. Thus my idea for the mapping from old forums to current forums.

Can this be done?

Please let me know if I need to give more info.

I don’t know if this should be a “trac ticket” or not.

Well done guys.

Andrew

PS. The related question (which can be closed and linked to this new one is: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/importing-from-phpbb-5/).

[John James Jacoby]

Confirmed. Broken in https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3232, which I’ve reopened and will get fixed in 2.6.1. Sorry about that!

ok, found the setting for this item …
“* How do I remove this from the menu?”
… under the bbp style pack

But, the second issue still is a problem and prevents me from using the bbpress edit profile method …
*When that menu item is clicked, “Edit Profile”, it reaches this page…
…/forumslug/users/emailgmail-c*o*m/edit (added * to get this to post)
And it gives this error…
“Sorry, This Page Is Gone.
The page you are trying to view no longer exists or has been moved. You may try the search form below to find it.”
Why is this link incorrect and can it be corrected?

I use a shortcode for the forum user profile and works and the link is this…
…/forumslug/users/emailgmail-c*o*m (added * to get this to post)
(the “… /edit” is missing from this link and it works)

[safetoto777]

If you are using bbpress plugin in your wordpress account bbpress plugin will update you once they have latest bbpress version update

[livefree]

WP Version 5.2.4
bbPress Version 2.5.14
bbp style pack Version 4.3.2

When logged in, the main nav is showing “Edit Profile” and links to
…/forumslug/users/emailgmail-c*o*m/edit (added * to get this to post)

Two questions:
* How do I remove this from the menu?
(I have checked the main menu and it’s not showing this item under Appearance > Menus
I have deactivated all plugins… also tried wp2019 theme … no change)
*When that menu item is clicked, it reaches this page…
“Sorry, This Page Is Gone.
The page you are trying to view no longer exists or has been moved. You may try the search form below to find it.”
Why is this link incorrect and can it be corrected?

I use a shortcode for the forum user profile and works and the link is this…

Mahalo!

[Robin W]

since bbpress just uses the WordPress avatar system, then anything that allows users to upload should work

https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/avatar/

simple local avatar looks like it is worth looking at

[livefree]

WP Version 5.2.4
bbPress Version 2.5.14
bbp style pack Version 4.3.2

With bbp style, I have tried the Gravatar option for User’s avatars.
It seems it will be too complicated for many.

What is the best option to setup self-uploads for avatars for the forum?
And, to change out the default avatar for the forum with a custom one?

[cnewhall]

WP 5.2.4 . BBP2.5.14 . I want to have my user’s comments on a post appear in the forum with perhaps the topic being the post title, rather than having a huge long list of post comments after every post. There used to be aplugin that would do this very neatly, bbPress Topics for WordPress plugin, but it has not been updated for several years. it seems like this is a problem that somwone would have solved but i cannot find a solution. Any help is appreciated.

[Hassehulabeck]

The only difference I’ve found between pure SMF and WP + bbPress is in the replies and as you can see there’s a difference between user info in the start of a topic, and in the reply.

If you look at https://www.svenskaflippersallskapet.com/index.php?topic=26595.0 (correct)

and compare with https://svenskaflippersallskapet.com/devo/forums/topic/lincade-onsdags-oppet/ (the reply differs).

I will look more into this and see if I can find other faults, but as for now, this is the only.

[Robin W]

private forums overrides bbpress, and you would simply need to make any ‘hidden’ forums only accessible to a group that say contains admins.

I think this still works

Remove Private: label prefix

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

Code Snippets

[Robin W]

‘topics’ and ‘replies’ are bbpress, ‘posts’ are WordPress.

What exactly do you mean by ‘posts’?

[Robin W]

ok, the code works in my test site, so a reply edit admin link show ‘hello’ instead of ‘Edit’.

If this is not the case, then 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

[Hassehulabeck]

Hi,
I’ve been converting from SMF (>2.0) to bbPress(2.5.14) and got it working – except for the fact that the correct user is displayed in topics, but not in posts.

In the database, the table smf_members has the column “id_member”, and wp_users has the column “ID”. The pivot-table wp_usermeta has the connection between these two id:s, but as I’ve described, the connection seems lost when looking at info about posts.

Any thoughts on how to solve this?

[stracy2]

Correction, As soon as “bbPress private forums” is Activated…

[stracy2]

As soon as “bbPress private forums” is enabled, all “Hidden” forums are listed (visible), even when “Click to activate forum visibility” is off.

For my use case, I’d like to use the “Remove Private prefix” option, but no other options are needed.

Hello everyone.
I am looking for some help here.
I am trying to migrate a rather large forum from phpbb to bbpress using the bbpress importer.
I filled the details with the right database information and started the import.
However, it keeps showing me an error and does not let me import anything.
When I click on “start” the import, it inmediately shows this text:

Repair any missing information: Continue
WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘topics.topic_replies’ in ‘field list’]
SELECT convert(topics.topic_id USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_id,convert(topics.topic_replies USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_replies,convert(topics.topic_replies_real USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_replies_real,convert(topics.forum_id USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_id,convert(topics.topic_poster USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_poster,convert(posts.poster_ip USING “utf8mb4”) AS poster_ip,convert(posts.post_text USING “utf8mb4”) AS post_text,convert(topics.topic_title USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_title,convert(topics.topic_status USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_status,convert(topics.topic_type USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_type,convert(topics.topic_time USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_time,convert(topics.topic_last_post_time USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_last_post_time FROM phpbbli_topics AS topics INNER JOIN phpbbli_posts AS posts USING (topic_id) WHERE posts.post_id = topics.topic_first_post_id LIMIT 0, 100
No topics to convertNo forum parents to convert

It only shows that text and does not import anything. All user accounts are existing inside my phpbb database.

Does anyone know why this is happening or how can I solve this in order to make the import?

Thank you.

[Robin W]

ok, the existing function is

function bbp_get_topic_post_date( $topic_id = 0, $humanize = false, $gmt = false ) {
		$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $topic_id );

		// 4 days, 4 hours ago
		if ( !empty( $humanize ) ) {
			$gmt_s  = !empty( $gmt ) ? 'U' : 'G';
			$date   = get_post_time( $gmt_s, $gmt, $topic_id );
			$time   = false; // For filter below
			$result = bbp_get_time_since( $date );

		// August 4, 2012 at 2:37 pm
		} else {
			$date   = get_post_time( get_option( 'date_format' ), $gmt, $topic_id, true );
			$time   = get_post_time( get_option( 'time_format' ), $gmt, $topic_id, true );
			$result = sprintf( _x( '%1$s at %2$s', 'date at time', 'bbpress' ), $date, $time );
		}

		return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_topic_post_date', $result, $topic_id, $humanize, $gmt, $date, $time );
	}

so we can filter this as follows :

add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_post_date' , 'rew_date' , 10 , 6) ;

function rew_date ($result, $topic_id, $humanize, $gmt, $date, $time) {
	$result = 'hello' ;

return $result ;
}

This should then say ‘hello’ so all we want to do is change $result to read whatever you want – so what do you want it to say ?

Hi All,

I am searching for a while if I can manage to solve the issue.

I have now solve the issue with “the reply form will show underneath of the reply when users click the reply button of it” with previous articles.

how to create dynamic reply-box

Still, I am looking for this issue below;

Topic
— reply 1
— reply 1-1
— reply 1-2
— reply 2

As above, when I click the reply button on “reply 1-1”, the reply form will show up as I wish to.

Still, when I click the reply button on “Topic”, it still scroll down (or I should say jump down) to the reply form at the bottom of the page.

When the topic is getting deeper, users would like to reply to it with reading & checking the content.

I my case, deeper topics are really hard to reply, since it will jump down to the bottom.

My question will be…,

1) Is there any way to solve this issue?

2) Is this the “normal” and there is no way to fix it?

If anyone know how to do this or know the answer, please let me know.

Thank you for your reply in advance.

[Babblebey]

Not very much, I feel very lazy to read this page – https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-5/

Aww

[Babblebey]

I have been doing that from the start of the whole process of the project, I have all the bbpress templates copied over to my theme directory, I am doing an edit on exactly all the template.

But the bbp_topic_post_date('d M, Y') doesn’t work is the thing.
