Thanks Stephen. I’m assuming, for no good reason, that the issue is at the intersection of the two. I also posted the question at WLM. Documentation very sparse as the ability to use WLM with BBPress is relatively new. I did a fair number of Google searches with no luck. One reason I think it is BBPress because it is specifically the edit function. Everything else seems to work fine. In BBPress, does someone have to be a particular user level to edit? My WLM members are all set at a “Participant” level of user, which is pretty low in the WLM hierarchy.

[Stephen Edgar]

This sounds like it’s a Wishlist Member issue not a bbPress issue.

Does WLM have any documentation on using WLM with bbPress?
(All I could find was http://customers.wishlistproducts.com/?s=bbpress)

As it is a paid plugin I don’t have access to it, I assume you get official support from WLM as you have paid for it though.

Im wanting to add a forum to my wordpress site, I dont know how much it will grow but i want it to be flexible, i’m not a coder or designer, I only know the basics,

I know in the past bbpress had a lot of issue and was lacking in features but i’m assuming this must be possible now.

Im wanting a good looking full featured forum as good as any stand alone forum(xenforo, phpbb, mybb).

can this be done ?
if so how ?
How can I add the extra feature without bloating the site ?
Can i download any pre made bbpress.css ?

any good example

Hi,

I am using Wishlist Member(WLM) to protect my BBPress forum. My members cannot edit their posts, though they are attempting to do so well within the 60 minute editing time limit. They get this error from WLM, ““You are here: Home / Oops! Wrong Membership Level

Oops! Wrong Membership Level
The content you’re trying to view is for members of a different course.
We welcome you to join all of our courses!”

Can anyone help?
Thanks!

ok, untested but try

wp-content/plugins/bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\form-search.php

copy to your PC and

line 17

<input tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" class="button" type="submit" id="bbp_search_submit" value="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Search', 'bbpress' ); ?>" />

change to

<input tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" class="button" type="submit" id="search_submit" value" />

save this file to

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-search.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

@robin-w

I disabled all plugins except bbpress and still it looks like the standard version.

There are no other loop-forums.php files in my directory. What should i do? I’m really out of idea’s man.

Isn’t there a small chance you can take 10-15 minutes to look trough skype? I’ll give you access to my wordpress.

[Robin W]

you could try uploading it to the main bbpress templates

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-forums.php

But you will need to remember that any updates to bbpress will overwrite this, and you’ll need to repeat.

Otherwise suggest you search your site for loop-forums.php to see if any other instances are on it. If you overwrite them with the style pack version, then it must take effect at some point !

[Robin W]

in the file

bbpress\includes\common\shortcodes.php and amend the ‘bbp-single-forum’ shortcode

[Robin W]

ok, so we’ll save a copy of the current theme loop-forums in case we need it, and then copy the one from my plugin to the theme directory to replace it.

Step by step this is :

1. copy the file

wp-content/themes/%what-your-theme-is-called%/bbpress/loop-forums.php

to your PC and save it to somewhere you know and make a note of it so you can find it if you need it in future.

2. then find

wp-content/plugins/bbp style pack/templates/templates1/loop-forums.php

and copy it to your pc (again knowing where you put it, but don’t overwrite the one you copied above!)

3. Then copy this file into

wp-content/themes/%what-your-theme-is-called%/bbpress

The theme should then use the updated file

[Robin W]

ok, can you look at

wp-content/themes/%what-your-theme-is-called%/bbpress

where /%what-your-theme-is-called%/ is the name of your theme

and see if it has a file called loop-forums.php in that directory

I am having a problem with bbPress Forums, the form / buttons don’t match my theme.

1. FORUM PAGE doesn’t display properly — there are little bullet like circles in front of all of the text items on the page. They shouldn’t be there and I would like to get ride of them.
2. BUTTONS — SEARCH and SUBMIT buttons on forum page did not inherit my theme (on registered users page) — http://www.thehopecntr.com/groups/
3. SUBSCRIBE LINK TEXT overlaps breadcrumb navigation on Forums pages

My theme has a place for me to enter Custom CSS. Can someone kindly provide me with a fix or CSS for this problem. Thank you.

[Stephen Edgar]

Glad you got it sorted, when the next bbPress update occurs let me know if it fails again and we can look into this further

[Stephen Edgar]

I’ll include the above in ticket #2963

Thanks for identifying the cause @atmojones, made tracking this down much quicker 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

So the regex we use #([\s>])@([0-9a-zA-Z-_]+)#i in bbp_make_mentions_clickable()

The ([\s>]) is checking for a whitespace character before the @ symbol

The code here below is from using TinyMCE and as you noted @atmojones there’s some non-breaking spaces html entities for the instances when an an even number of spaces preceede the @ symbol:

The root cause is every second space is swapped out with nbsp; which makes sense from a HTML perspective, where this takes place I’m not so sure of, it’s either in TinyMCE directly, or WordPress via wp_spaces_regexp() in wptexturize() (I think it’s the former)

The workaround for bbPress and I suspect BuddyPress also, would be to check for both ([\s>]) and nbsp; preceding the @ symbol

Here’s the results of swapping ([\s>]) for ([\s>;]) (Adding a check for just the semi-colon):

[Stephen Edgar]

Testing one space @atmojones
Testing two spaces @atmojones
Testing three spaces @atmojones
Testing four spaces @atmojones
Testing five spaces @atmojones
Testing six spaces @atmojones

The resulting code from the above:

<p>Testing one space <a href="https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/atmojones/" rel="nofollow">@atmojones</a>
    <br> Testing two spaces <a href="https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/atmojones/" rel="nofollow">@atmojones</a>
    <br> Testing three spaces <a href="https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/atmojones/" rel="nofollow">@atmojones</a>
    <br> Testing four spaces <a href="https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/atmojones/" rel="nofollow">@atmojones</a>
    <br> Testing five spaces <a href="https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/atmojones/" rel="nofollow">@atmojones</a>
    <br> Testing six spaces <a href="https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/atmojones/" rel="nofollow">@atmojones</a>
 </p>

The above doesn’t really show the code, multiple spaces are stripped:

It could be several things, but some themes override bbpress templates and prevent my plugin changing them.

Do you have ftp access to your site?

[verenar]

Hi,
I have a membership side with different forums and I show the forums with the “(bbPress) Forums List” widget and the answers with [bbp-topic-index].

I want to show a forum and its ansers only for a some users. Where in the code I have to do the difference?

Thanks in advance!

I dealt with some of these issues about a year ago. I was migrating from SMF 2* to bbPress and I had tons of issues with formatting in posts and missing data. I ended up hiring Michael Z Noble (http://wwww.michaelznoble.com/ – The 4 w’s is intentional 😉 ) to write a custom migration script to help me through all of these issues (as well as transfer a bunch of data like signatures, up/down votes, thread view counts, avatars, etc, into various bbPress/BuddyPress plugins/functions). The utf8mb4/utf8mb4_unicode_ci/character set issues were particularly tough for me to get through. I ended up switching to a new host that had a newer version of MySQL in order to successfully complete the migration. In short, if you aren’t a senior dev, hire a dev. 😉

Best of luck my friend! 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

First, make a backup your database using your webhost site backup, or database backup preference.

Cool, deleting the bbPress plugin will *not* delete anything from your database 🙂

So delete the plugin, and then download and activate bbPress again 🙂

Backup first, because, backup, your data is important, and incase anything else goes wrong you have a backup 🙂

Hi Stephen. WordPress and other plugins update without any problems. I have spoken with my web host. They looked at it and said I needed to contact bbPress support. How does uninstalling bbPress modify the database?

[pcpro178]

Whenever I try to update bbPress I keep getting this error:

The update process is starting. This process may take a while on some hosts, so please be patient.

Not so much what I need, it is what you need to help work out what the issue is 😉

At a quick glance it looks like the bootstrap.css is overwriting the bbPress CSS styles.

Can you make the topic a “sticky” again please:

This is the forum correct? EDIT: Removed URL

How do I add any widgets in forum pages created with bbPress?
Thanks for the help.

I have a WordPress site with inside a BBPRESS forum.

When in the forum (in a topic or reply) I put the link to a Post in my wordpress site, it shows in bbpress the Image, an exerpt, and at the bottom-left there is the name of my site. In the left corner it whows the WordPress logo. Can I remove that logo? How?

[eapapyrus]

Hello,

I test the plugin “GD bbPress Attachments” which looks very interesting, but I can’t get “attached files” in BBPress topics and answers. In fact, I noticed that this button to download is visible when I am logged in to the admin, however I don’t want that forum’s participants have to create an account to add attachments (especially pdf’s files) in their comments.
Can you help me, please?
Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
