Hi !
After WP update 4.9.5 the following error message is displayed and generate a 500 error on my WordPress :
http://metrotpm.cafecitoyen.fr

Here is the message :

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bbp_get_caps_for_role() (previously declared in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/capabilities.php:31) in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/capabilities.php on line 209

Many thanks for the help !

Ragrds.

Are those emails coming fro BuddyPress or bbPress?

They should only be coming from bbPress if they are subscribed to those topics.

They might be coming from BuddyPress if those forums were retroactively added to a group.

I had an old WP site that came back to life. It was running phpBB and I successfully imported everything to bbPress. In the new site, we are also using BuddyPress. Old users are reporting that they are now getting email notifications on replies from posts many years old.

Thoughts? Ideas?

bbpress uses the wordpress default avatar as set in

dashboard>settings>discussion

There are plugins that let you add additional defaults eg

Add New Default Avatar

or use code in your functions file or a snippets plugin (https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/) such as

add_filter( 'avatar_defaults', 'mytheme_default_avatar' );
function mytheme_default_avatar( $avatar_defaults ) 
{
    $avatar = get_option('avatar_default');

    $new_avatar_url = get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/default_avatar.png';

    if( $avatar != $new_avatar_url )
    {
        update_option( 'avatar_default', $new_avatar_url );
    }

    $avatar_defaults[ $new_avatar_url ] = 'Default Avatar';
    return $avatar_defaults;
}

Is there a way to tell BBPress to use an advanced custom field image instead of the default user image?

Thank you for the response, I grepped the whole project and I cannot find the hook you mentioned in your previous post.

But I found in …./bbpress/includes/replies/functions.php the handlers for _bbp_reply_to. I should identify the place where wp_postmeta is populated so I can update my own table as you suggested. If I save the _bbp_reply_to information, I can avoid querying the huge meta table.

PS: I identified a corner case (hope not a bug). _bbp_reply_to gives the “real” parent of the post, but not in the case of the topic post (the first one from the topic).

bbpress just uses the display name as set in

dashboard>users>all Users>edit user

so you could change your users to what you want.

users can change their individual if you give them access to their wordpress profile or their bbpress profile.

There are some plugins and code that can change stuff eg

Quick Tip: Set the Default Display Name for WordPress Users

I googled ‘wordpress change display name for all users’ and lots lots of stuff.

@johnjamesjacoby @jjj thanks for that!

@thebeeobee Do you have a test forum with the topics you described? Would you be able to install 2.6-RC5 and see if it’s solved? https://bbpress.org/download/

Thanks a lot!

[John James Jacoby]

I believe we’ve addressed this in bbPress 2.6, with an improved algorithm for prefetching and slicing sticky topics out of topics queries.

If this is the bug I’m thinking of, it’s a combination of problems like @thebeeobee eluded to.

• Super Stickies in other forums
• Stickies in the current forum
• Super Stickies in the current forum
• Adjusting pagination counts to reflect anomalies

I don’t remember the exact ticket number(s) but we have tweaked this a few times in the past. I will need to look again though, because these forums do run nightly bbPress versions.

I’m using bbPress for my membership site, and when people do things like use bold or italicized letters, add any of the custom things on the menu when they create a post, if they are subscribed to the post, they get a notification email that looks like this:

Hi @ande!

Thanks for checking on me. 😊 I worked through The Process and I do feel better. Here’s what I came up with. Am I doing this right?
<div><span style=”font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold;”>The Process™ Worksheet:</span></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style=”color: #09afff; font-weight: bold;”>Step 1:

How can we fix this so the emails don’t show up in code?
Thanks!

[Robin W]

what other ‘bbpress’ plugins are you running?

[Editor Mike]

So, fixing the bbpress forum relationships fixed the problem.
However any new post once the repair forum tool is used negates that fix.
The last updated by no longer works and the URL has reverted to showing only the post number without the page number.

Hi Pascal,

Yes, I see that, the problem is that I don’t want to query wp_postmeta just for the “real parent” post (meaning not the parent from wp_posts aka the first post of the topic, but the post being one level up). I am surprised bbPress does not have a separate table. I wanted to avoid performance problems while quering a large table such as the meta table.

Thanks,
Z

bbpress doesn’t have a reply tab, it just puts a new reply form at the bottom

[centerpointcaugiay]

I am new to bbPress.What I want to do is to add treeview display to bbpress including posts. And I want to keep history of users so that s/he should be able to see the posts that she read and unread.

[xyljan94]

I’m having trouble replying to my own thread I just created on a forum. All the options available say “Edit”, “View” and “Trash”. But I want to reply & post in my own thread that I created. Can you please help me? I’m quite stressed out trying to get my forum to appear not only as a page but with the ability to reply. I cannot reply to my own thread and forum?

I reached out to wordpress.com, wordpres.orf (who redirected me to wordpress.com); and Wordspress.com told me to reach out to bbPress saying, “It is a design issue , You need to add it with the web developer. Please check with the plugin providers also for that. Its not the server settings . Its a forum settings you need to check with the forums developers.”

So that is what I am doing. If you need me to provide links, I will. I just am desperate for help so that I can get my post and website up and working.

Please advice and thank you.

I almost had it done converting it to simple machine and then to BBPress but it kept getting an error at the end. I was converting to 4.4 (I believe) it was using the latest converter someone posted on the VB Forums. I apologize for not saving the links. I finally gave up. Went back to VB 5.0 and am hosting it myself. vBulletin is by far the best software out there for forums, but not great when you want integration. My forum was pretty good sized..

HH Forums Statistics

Topics: 59,495 Posts: 385,220

I didn’t use the cloud like I did and went back to self hosting like I had before. If you host vBulletin yourself you have total control over it and you can install 3rd party plugins. I use DragonByte. It is inexpensive and great customer support. With the new vBulletin interface and mobile support for apps it is again top of the line.

I waited well over a year for a solution to the problem and WordPress and BBPress were obviously not willing to take a good portion of the crowd wanting to jump from vBulletin. But they waited too long and vBulletin worked their issues out.

@makingcircuits

This forum is for general bbPress questions. If you find issues with a plugin, please post it on the support forum of the specific plugin.

Thanks.

[makingcircuits]

It does not work as it used to before.
Here the faults:
1) Under Settings > Discussions when I try to select the Forum, and click on “Apply settings to existing posts” it shows an error.
2) When I go to the posts I find all the wordpresss comments removed, and no bbpress replacement
3) However It works only if I edit individual posts and select the forum under the individual posts.

That means if somebody has 1000 posts he will have to edit 1000 posts for enabling the import?? How time consuming that will be
And during the time the individual posts are being edited the existing comments will remain hidden

Earlier this fault was not there, the import could be enabled for the all the posts with one click…

[Pascal Casier]

Hi @thebeeobee,

That looks like a nice bug. Would you be able to add that to https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket , describe in short the issue and the steps to reproduce? Also put a link to this topic.

Thanks a lot!
Pascal.

We use Ultimate Membership Pro, which allows users to upload avatar’s to it’s own plugin. I’d like BBpress to look towards the member pro avatar instead of Gravatar. How can I do this? The custom field is called IHC_avatar

[Pascal Casier]

@vikingviolet,

Is your original forum also bbPress?

[Pascal Casier]

@fabioweb

Ciao Fabio,
As you can see on https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/it/default/wp-plugins/bbpress , bbPress is translated in stable and dev at 100%, so I confirm that all strings have been translated in Italian.

What you show in your screenshots is however coming from a theme or an extra plugin and not from bbPress.

So identify the theme or plugin that adds this string and translate it. More information on how to translate can be found on https://it.wordpress.org/traduzioni/

Hi bbpress friends,

I want to combine the shortcode with a href html command. At the moment iam doing this:

<td>

[caption id="attachment_238" align="aligncenter" width="150"]<a href=[bbp-topic-form forum_id=659]><img class="wp-image-238 size-thumbnail" src="http://hilf-mir-aus.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/internet.png" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a> Internet & Technik[/caption]
</td>

Any guesses, its not working…

[Pascal Casier]

@zcoin,
bbPress is not different from WordPress. Basic information on the post (a forum, a topic or a reply are all a ‘post) is a record inside the wp_posts table. Then in the wp_postmeta table you will find more information for every post.
