Hi Stephen

What I did was the following:

1. Installed bbpress as mentioned
2. Updated the flooding time to 0
3. Auto assigned the standard roles to the user via Tools -> bbp-repair
4. As admin I created a forum with status “open” and visibility “public”
5. As admin I created a topic with status “open”
6. I logged in with a non admin user and tried to reply on the topic which I’ve created as admin.

My result is now that the user displayed is Anonymous even with logged in user.

I would expect that the name from the logged in user is used instead of Anonymous.

Do I miss something in the configuration?

Best regards,
Marco

Can you share your code for how you’re defining your custom roles please?

If you’d rather keep the code private you could join the #bbPress channel in Slack

This has already been fixed for the upcoming bbPress 2.6

OK. Well after some harrowing attempts to rebuild from older versions of bbPress and WordPress I ended up reverting back to the most recent of both, 4.7 and 2.5.12, respectively.

And presto! Everything is now as it should be. WTF?!

Maybe something got fouled up in the DB conversion or I simply needed to kick something loose.

Anyway, nevermind.

Thanks.

I’ve added a dynamic role to my forums that no longer appears in any display user role capacity.
I used the bbp_get_dynamic_roles hook as before.

However, the capabilities from this role do transfer over–just not the name.

I’m using custom functions that require this role’s name be defined. So basically this update breaks my site.

Any attempt to role back to an earlier version of bbPress seems to crash the site.

Help!?

someone knows what is the right type robots.txt for bbpress, i want to use for my forum

[wilky76]

good morning,
I am building a forum and as settings I like to put the root of the forum the same as the basic forum, disabling forum prefix.
I am setting it so though I am a red message telling me Possible bbPress conflict, both in the forum> Root settings, in settings> Forum.
I can leave it or it can give problems?
Thank you

[Robin W]

sorry – that was for the code via ftp.

If you just want a list then go into dashboard>appearance>widgets and just look for all those that’s tart with (bbpress)

[Stephen Edgar]

You can suggest those strings changes here: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/stable/da/default?filters%5Bterm%5D=freshness&filters%5Buser_login%5D=&filters%5Bstatus%5D=current_or_waiting_or_fuzzy_or_untranslated&filter=Filter&sort%5Bby%5D=priority&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc

Hi,
I noticed textarea for newtopic description is generated using bbp_the_content function. I.e., not available in form-topic.php site specific copy.

• bbPress 2.5.11
• WordPress 4.6.1
• site (internal)

If this is worth your time, how do I add placeholder attribute in the following list, without breaking the upgrade mechanism? I mean if it is a five minute job for any of you. Otherwise I can spend my own time to work around it using css… it’s nagging me that you all would not have forgotten to allow for this …reasonably important thing… I think.

	function bbp_get_the_content( $args = array() ) {

		// Parse arguments against default values
		$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'context'           => 'topic',
			'before'            => '<div class="bbp-the-content-wrapper">',
			'after'             => '</div>',
			'wpautop'           => true,
			'media_buttons'     => false,
			'textarea_rows'     => '12',
			'tabindex'          => bbp_get_tab_index(),
			'tabfocus_elements' => 'bbp_topic_title,bbp_topic_tags',
			'editor_class'      => 'bbp-the-content',
			'tinymce'           => false,
			'teeny'             => true,
			'quicktags'         => true,
			'dfw'               => false
		), 'get_the_content' );

Here is what I am trying to do, i.e., add the words “… and a short description of the topic here.” in the blue area.

Now that you state the obvious I didn’t even think of looking around that. Yes, BP’s profile gets displayed when someone clicks on a member while browsing the bbpress forums.

The thing is, I guess, that the wp profile image stays the default and “true” one. Ideally, either wp should sync its avatar with BP or the other way around (BP fetches wp avatar and uses that one).

Now as I’d like to keep it as it’s built, since it is quite good looking already, I mean I’d like to fully use the BP profile (that bbpress redirects to, as you pointed out), I’m not too sure of what would be the fastest or/and easiest:

• Do the wp profile images gets synced with the BP profile image (since it has one on its own)
• Tell bbpress to go fetch the BP profile image, since my users only have access to their BP profile

I looked for plugins that do either, already, I didn’t quite find my fit yet. And I was hoping someone would have done something similar or knows enough to talk me roughly through what I need to do in order to achieve what I want to do.

Either way, if anyone has some clue, that would be nice.

If there is no luck at it, I guess I’ll be trying to do it by myself, but as I am no php expert and don’t really know much about either wp, bbpress or BP, I’ll have to get going with more reading first.

Thank’s for your reply Setphen, it lit a bulb on my side.

I’m not satisfied with some of the translated words i bbpress (danish) – I have tried to change in / wp-content / languages / plugins / bbpress-da_DK.po

I have tried to change freshness:

#: templates/default/bbpress/loop-forums.php:22
#: templates/default/bbpress/loop-topics.php:22

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a plug-in (or another solution) to get the analytics on search terms within the bbPress forum I’m running.

It doesn’t have to be fancy, I just need to know stuff like the most queried terms over time.

Thanks !

@senatorman we’ve got a few more fixes in the pipeline tht have been implemented as part of wordpress.org/support also switching to bbPress 2.6-alpha

FYI: Some quick w.org/support stats: ~2.5 million topics, ~6 million replies and ~8 million users

[Stephen Edgar]

This sounds like bbPress should switch to BP’s avatars just as it switches to BP’s member profiles (rather than bbPress’ profiles) if the BP profile component is enabled.

Anyone know of a plugin that does this?

It sounds like bbPress should probably do this out of the box

So I am using bbpress alongside buddypress. This is great because running a little gaming community, it is awesome having the ability to use the widely know traditional forums as bbpress offers them while adding some great social features brought by buddypress.

Now I’ve done my research and figured out that bbpress relies on the wp profile informations (since well wp and bbpress work great together). Aside of that, there is some synchronisation between buddypress and wp profile informations.

What I’d like is be able to use only one avatar for both plugins. bbpress fetches the wp profile avatar while buddypress as one on its own. So my idea is to fetch buddypress’s image when displaying the user’s avatar on the forums.

I tried to search for documentation on this and didn’t find much. I ended up digging the plugin code and stumbled upon, while looking in the /plugins/bbpress/includes/users/template.php file, bbp_current_user_avatar() which uses bbp_get_current_user_avatar() that calls get_avatar() with the desired size and user id.

So I guess the obvious step is telling bbpress to look for the buddypress profile image rather than use this get_avatar() function, which I suspect is fetching the wp profile image.

But I am stuck here, mainly because I am new to wordpress, also to php. I should be able to sort myself out with some indications (how and what to use) or even some pseudo code.

I want to do this because I want people to not use their wp profile (there is not much there anyway) and rather go through their buddypress profile only.

Thank’s in advance for any help.

I just did the WordPress 4.7 update and noticed that the links to BBPRESS topics and replies are no longer in the menu.

Has something changed?
