ok, I’ve been kicking this around for the last 3 hours!!

Capabilities are spread all over the files in bbpress, so it’s taken a while to get to something.

But I’ve learnt some good stuff along the way !!

This is close to a perfect solution, and seems workable

add_filter ('bbp_register_forum_post_type', 'rew_change') ; 

function rew_change () {
	$rew = array(
				'labels'              => bbp_get_forum_post_type_labels(),
				'rewrite'             => bbp_get_forum_post_type_rewrite(),
				'supports'            => bbp_get_forum_post_type_supports(),
				'description'         => __( 'bbPress Forums', 'bbpress' ),
				'capabilities'        => bbp_get_topic_caps(),
				'capability_type'     => array( 'forum', 'forums' ),
				'menu_position'       => 555555,
				'has_archive'         => bbp_get_root_slug(),
				'exclude_from_search' => true,
				'show_in_nav_menus'   => true,
				'public'              => true,
				'show_ui'             => current_user_can( 'moderate' ),
				'can_export'          => true,
				'hierarchical'        => false,
				'query_var'           => true,
				'menu_icon'           => ''
			) ;
	return apply_filters( 'rew_change', $rew );
}

add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'rew_moderator', 10, 2);

function rew_moderator ($caps, $role) {
	if ($role == bbp_get_moderator_role() ) {
		$caps['edit_others_forums'] = true ;
		$caps['delete_forums'] = true ;
		$caps['delete_others_forums'] = true ;
		$caps['publish_forums'] = true ;
		$caps['read_private_forums'] = true ;
		$caps['read_hidden_forums'] = true ;
		$caps['edit_forums'] = true ;
				
	}

return $caps ;
	
}

The line

'capabilities' => bbp_get_topic_caps(),

should say

'capabilities' => bbp_get_forum_caps(),

and my 2nd filter should then make that work, but for whatever reason it doesn’t.

But as it gives the topic permissions which for a moderator are what you want for forums, it should be fine.

Hello all, I’m using WordPress 8.0 and bbPress2.5.13.

I have added this function to add the visual tab to the editor:

function enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'enable_visual_editor' );

When I signed in as admin is everything OK, the editor tab is selected by default and I can start to type. However, when I do as a participant no tabs are selected and I have to select one of them in order to start to type. This is not intuitive at all for participants that want to write a post in the forum and eventually they will leave.

Why is happening that? Can anyone give me support? Thank you in advance 🙂

you need to get bbpress to use the correct theme template

see

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[Robin W]

bbp capabilities are allocated against bbpress roles, so suspect that it would be easier to add forums to the moderator role

I think the capability you need to add is

bbp_forums_admin

so set to user to moderator and add the above capability to preferably the moderator role but could be the editor role

My plugin GD bbPress Toolbox Pro has tons of new bbPress related features, including options to set custom sender email and name.

Hi,
I’m developing a site for a client (Worpdress 4.8.1) and I’m using bbPress 2.6-beta-2 to handle forums. The client’s main administrative account uses the WordPress role “Editor” and the bbPress role “Keymaster.” I want my client to keep most of the Keymaster capabilities, but I want to remove the Forum Settings page from their admin dashboard menu. I’m wondering if this can be done with the hide_menu() function.
For native wordpress pages, the function looks something like this:
remove_submenu_page( ‘<filename>.php’, ‘<filename>.php’ );
Can this work with the bbPress Settings page, and if so, which filename should appear in the function?

Peace,
Angela

I wish a plugin developer would chime in here, but that doesn’t seem likely.

I’m not sure how often they visit, but looks like you done some great stuff here.

I’ve made a note of this thread and I’ll post a trac ticket (bug report) shortly

Can you just confirm what version of bbpress you are using, and if not bbPress 2.6 Release Candidate 3, can you just check that the code is not improved in this – you’ll do this much faster than me.

Hi all,
I wonder if it’s possible, if not already, that when I post a blog post on my WP site, it’ll automatically add a post in my bbPress forum? I found a plugin which is 4 years old, but can’t find anything anywhere. If this something others may want? Or is there a way to do this now?
Thanks all

Wordpress 4.8.1 bbpress 2.5.13
hello,
This is a multisite, site 1, admin is https://swissinformatics.org. bbpress is activated on https://magazine.swissinformatics.org. so bbpress sends mail to noreply@magazine.swissinformatics.org. WRONG, no mailer for this mail. In WordPress settings of the magazine subsite, the address is sidm@swissinformatics.org. noreply@swissinformatics.org also exists.
I looked everywhere in bbpres and wordpress settings. WHERE can I change this noreply address?
Thank you very much

[Robin W]

silly question, but why not just change it in

Dashboard>settings>forums>etc.

and you are using a buddypress hook, not a bbpress one – bbpress is bbp_init and all your code refers to buddypress.

[mrapino]

Hey there … I got mine working.

There is a file in the bbPress plugin folder

plugins > bbpress > templates > default > js > reply.js

On line 18, there is a line of code that is throwing a JavaScript error every time the “reply” link is clicked.

reply.parentNode.insertBefore(respond);

I basically commented this line of code out, and threaded replies are working again.

I have no idea if this line is needed, but it got rid of the error, and there are no new errors to speak of.

I wish a plugin developer would chime in here, but that doesn’t seem likely.

I hope this helps you.

If anyone else reading this know what this line does, and why it was causing the error, please let us know.

Hi,

I have bbpress installed and for some reason the favorite option won’t work. The favorite tab is there, but when you click “Favorite” it simply change to “0” – the option of “un-favorite” as I believe it should. The favorite stream won’t populate after either.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi,
I am trying to change the group forum slug. E.g.
from
‘mysite.com/groups/mygroup/forum’
to
‘mysite.com/groups/mygroup/discussion’

I am using this code:

function gi_rename_group_slug() {
  global $bp;		
  if (isset($bp->groups->current_group->slug) && $bp->groups->current_group->slug == $bp->current_item) {
    $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['forum']['slug'] = 'discussion';
  }
}
add_action('bp_init', 'gi_rename_group_slug');

Unfortunately, nothing happens. What is the error? Thanks in advance.

It’s all tied up with the theme’s page code

This all gets very code oriented, hence suggestion to go to theme provider

however if you’re a bit into code try

Getting Started in Modifying the Main bbPress Template

[sapstudent]

Hi Team,

Here is my situation. I have bbpress installed in my site(sapstudent.com/community). I am displaying it under ‘Community’ page using following two short codes.
[bbp-forum-index]
[bbp-topic-index]

Here SAP HANA, SAP Data Services & SAP BO Business Intelligence are categories, everything else are forums.

Now when I click on lets say ‘SAP HANA'(https://www.sapstudent.com/community/forum/sap-hana), it only displays forums under this category, however I would like to have recent topics below forums section as I have in ‘Community’ page.

The other issue I have is, if I use both [bbp-forum-index], [bbp-topic-index] shortcodes on my main forum page, I am getting two search boxes(one above forum list and other one above topics list). To avoid this, I have disabled ‘Allow forum wide search’.Ideally how can I disable seachbox for [bbp-topic-index] shortcode, so that I will have only one search box on my main page which is above forum list.

[cobitts15]

Okay so I copied the code from my page.php and made a bbpress.php

<?php get_header(); ?>
	<div class="content">
		<!-- Sidebar With Content Section-->
		<?php 
			$ultimate_kickoff_wrapper = 'container';
			$ultimate_kickoff_theme_option = get_option('ultimate_kickoff_admin_option', array());
			if(isset($ultimate_kickoff_theme_option['enable-boxed-style']) && $ultimate_kickoff_theme_option['enable-boxed-style'] == 'wide-style'){
				$ultimate_kickoff_wrapper = 'container-fluid';
			}else{
				$ultimate_kickoff_wrapper = 'container';
			}
			if( !empty($ultimate_kickoff_content_raw) ){ 
				echo '<div class="vc-wrapper '.esc_attr($ultimate_kickoff_wrapper).'">';
				while ( have_posts() ){ the_post();
					if( has_shortcode( get_the_content(), 'vc_row' ) ) {
						echo ultimate_kickoff_content_filter(get_the_content(), true); 
					}
				}
				echo '</div>';
				
				echo '<div class="pagebuilder-wrapper">';
				ultimate_kickoff_show_page_builder($ultimate_kickoff_content_raw);
				echo '</div>';
				
				
			}else{
				echo '<div class="'.esc_attr($ultimate_kickoff_wrapper).'">';
					$default['show-title'] = 'enable';
					$default['show-content'] = 'enable'; 
					echo ultimate_kickoff_get_default_content_item($default);
				echo '</div>';
			}
		
		?>
	</div><!-- content -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>

My theme options aren’t showing when I try to edit the forum.

ok, you’ll need to be using the right template – see

My plugin GD bbPress Toolbox Pro has both features you need (user stats with each topic/reply, and option to report topic to administrators). You can check it out here:

Hey there,
I got a penalty on my bbpress forum that I recently found out. Traffic from Google was dropping starting march 2017. Analyse shows only /topic/ is affected.
I dont know what to do. Should I delete topics with low text and quality? Should I close the forums and leave only relevant content?
I have no idea. None of the new content is indexed well. I tried to update and clean old topics, but they are not getting new traffic.

Any help is appreciated!

I am now using WordPress 4.8 and a theme called Newspaper X, installed bbpress 2.5.13. As you can see in my website:

Home

http://tomorrowlan.gg/forums/

It displayed some texts and most of them are non-functional. I have tried to disable all plugins and stuff like that, still not working. It kind of worked when I tried some default theme. Is there a way to fix it? Thanks

[cobitts15]

I’m trying to make my forum look uniform to the rest of my site with a dual sidebar of widgets. I’ve tried to follow the documentation for a bbPress specific sidebar and can’t get that to work either https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#26-creating-a-bbpress-specific-sidebar. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Crash Victim

After days of working to find the error, it is BBPRess.

Somewhere between the last couple updates of both bbpress and WP and php 7.0/7.1 all things have failed.

At least that is when we have been able to trace it back to.

Anyone have any ideas how to get it working?

Thanks
Robyn

[cassihl]

Does anyone know if bbpress has some code in it that can block the redirect after login? Or if it has its own redirect code that is preventing the redirect plugins from working?

[Robin W]

looks like an issue with the plugin bbp-messages rather than bbpress.

Probably that you had that plugin active without bbpress being active at a guess
