The two ‘test’ items below are easier, as they just use blockquote so you can add this to your css

#bbpress-forums blockquote {
  color: green;
}

I presume that you don’t want to change the class in the other plugin?

Hi, I’m using bbpress on my upcoming videogame website:
http://20160719.gaming-universe.de/guf/topic/testtest/#post-6864

As you can see, the template uses information from the WP theme style.css.
This is overall a good thing but the blockquote function looks off.
I’m also using a couple of plugins so I feel that I might be able to change that via a CSS function but don’t understand CSS very well.

When looking at the code, the blockquote seems to use a specific class from one of my plugins:
blockquote class=”d4pbbc-quote”

Can anyone point me to where I can change the CSS for the blockquote attribute?

Thanks, Matthias

I forgot to wait updating wordpress until bbpress was also 4.6 ready.

But I have upgraded to wp 4.6 now already and noticed an error.

When bbpress plugin is activated i cannot upload or find images. The media library keeps on looking for something.

And when uploading i get an error “An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later”.

Does this has to do with the wp 4.6 update?

and is the new bbpress update coming soon?

Love the functionality of bbPress and WordPress. Added the reply widget to my main sidebar, but it only displays what topic is being replied to and who replied. I’d like to be able to show at least a portion of the content from, say, the five most recent posts on the forum. Is there an easy way to do that? Perhaps a plugin/widget I should look at?

My site is FAUOwlAccess.com

Thanks.

This is the default display.

If you are into coding, you can check out

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

or if coding is not your thing use my plugin Style Pack which will let you set up lots of stuff, including fixing the above

I have some custom fields in my user account profiles that BBPress Profile view displays just fine, but then all the ones related to Address, display as blank fields. The really weird thing is they are all still editable and will save entered data.

To summarize the issue:
My custom fields for Address do not display content when viewed in BBPress Profile.
If I type in something into one of the blank fields and then click Update, it saves it correctly and then again, still won’t display anything.

IS THIS INTENTIONAL? It seems weird that OTHER custom entries like my mailing list checkbox still display.

After doing some more work on this, I think that while the visibility of my topic in the subforum is indeed broken after the Subforum’s ID is placed in the _bbp_hidden_forums option, that is only a symptom and not a cause.

I think that the fundamental assumptions of this version of bbPress/BuddyPress preclude the use of Subforums. And evidence of this is that visibility sensitive areas of the code like this just come up with the wrong answer when subforums are involved.

So for me, I think I’m going to stop trying to make subforums work until the core code changes to better support them.

I’m wondering if anyone at bbPress is paying any attention to this. We’re having the same problem at a non-profit I’m trying to help set up bbPress. If I’m logged in as an Admin, I can post, but if I’m logged in as a user (participant role in bbPress and subscriber in aMember) I can see the forums but not post. Exactly the same as the OP.

Has anyone found a solution for this?

Thanks if you can help.

Hi there, I would like to import from vb 3.6.+ to bbpress

as I am not vb4 , I suspect the importer is not working, is there another way round this via phpmyadmin, please?

I am not so much a techie but can fiddle slightly in myphphadmin

thx Bob

[bobdebilder]

This is interesting, as I am running vb 3.6+ and I am looking to import into BBpress. Looking to go simple instead of all the bloat of vbulletin, even though I added a lot the old forum in design and ‘hacks’

[hellojesse]

Is your login form a widget? It looks like. Go to widgets menu and in settings or options there is url to homepage after log in which is default behavior. Try to use bbPress Login widget and check settings.

Good Luck.

Hi,

I’ve been trying to reduce the height of topic form (Tinymce) which stands at default 236px height.. I want to reduced them upto 100px.. I have searched all over, seems there is no shortcut solutions.. Can you please point me the file where I can edit that value.. For temporary period, I can touch or change the core files, if needed.

I’m unable to locate the file.. Even not sure if those values comes from wordpress tinymce files under/includes/tinymce or it’s set in within bbpress..

Thank you so much…

can you check if it is being logged as spam

Akismet

If the service catches a topic that is spam, you will see it in the WordPress backend in the topics section under spam, and the same process for replies.

Robin:

I installed bbPress by following the instructions here on bbPress.org:

1. I created an empty page named “Forums” using the default forum root slug heading (i.e., ‘forums’).
2. Then I added the empty “Forums” page to the site’s main menu.

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

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

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-anonymous.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-anonymous.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

so you will need to take out lines 31-34 which say

<p>
			<label for="bbp_anonymous_website"><?php _e( 'Website:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
			<input type="text" id="bbp_anonymous_website" value="<?php bbp_author_url(); ?>" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" size="40" name="bbp_anonymous_website" />
		</p>

You should do this in a child theme, but if you do it in your main theme keepo a record as you will need to do this again on any theme update.

I know what a 403 error is. I have been around quite a while and been around the block quite a few times.

Sorry, but I have no idea what your level of knowledge is – how could I?

My question is why am I getting this error only since I installed BBpress and BuddyPress?

I don’t know – so sorry again !

[jimandms]

I know what a 403 error is. I have been around quite a while and been around the block quite a few times.

My question is why am I getting this error only since I installed BBpress and BuddyPress?

The first thing I checked was the file permissions. Even before I said anything here. All of the BP stuff is set to 777 actually. That should give full permissions for everything and not generate any permission errors at all.

Now since installing BP I keep getting this error. It not only affects BP but my Advanced Classifieds and Directory Pro. Which since installing BP and all of the components gives me this error now whenever I try to add a new article when it never did before.

Hello
I’ve searched online but cannot find the answer. Does anyone know how I can edit the New Topic page of my forum: http://psychiatryadvice.com/new-topic/

For example, how do I remove the section which requests ‘website’?

Or do you know which file I need to edit?

Thanks!

Is this a new site, new problem, new to bbpress, when did it start happening, what else have you been doing, what versions of bbpress and wordpress are you running, what theme are you using

[Maverick2k]

I’m having an issue with bbPress where if I click a forum, it will return me to the index rather than taking me to the forum to show the topics.

You can see it here; http://www.hypothermia-guild.no/forum/

Any ideas what’s going on?

Thanks in advance,
Nick.

[jimandms]

Sorry, didn’t take the time to read the whole error. Was just pissed that I was getting it. But I disabled the autoposter plugin.

So the results are that I no longer get the second error, but I am still getting the first. Before asking here I had disabled all plugins, except BBpress of course, and was getting the error.

[mlwilkerson]

I’m seeing the same thing as originally reported by @mfiguerasma.

I first noticed it when my non-admin user (TestUser) *suddenly* could no longer see a topic that he had formerly been able to see. In my case, I am using sub-forums. (See: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2191#comment:17 )

I have a BP Group called GroupH.
The group forum root is a type=category group called “Group Forums”
Subforum1-GroupH is under the forum “GroupH”.

GroupH is the group forum, i.e the one you see in a the drop-down in the settings where you select which forum is associated with the BP Group.

So, it’s:

Group Forums
GroupH
Subforum1-GroupH
Topic1-Subforum1-GroupH

All of the forums and subforums have a Visibility setting of Private (in the admin settings screens).

So Topic1-Subforum1-GroupH was accessible by my TestUser one minute and then wasn’t the next minute. I knew that I hadn’t changed the visibility settings on my forums or anything else, but I realized that what I had done (thinking it was merely “for good measure”) was to run:
Tools->bbPress->Recalculate private and hidden forums

I recreated my original scenario, verified that TestUser could access Topic1-Subforum1-GroupH, and then used Updraft to take snapshots of my database before running “Recalculate private and hidden forums” calculate again. Sure enough, after that “repair”, it was broken again.

So I debugged it. This repair tool kicks off bbp_repair_forum_visibility() which updates two options in the options table:
_bbp_private_forums
_bbp_hidden_forums

These are pre-calculated, cached, lists of forums.

If the forum_id for GroupH appears in _bbp_hidden_forums, then TestUser won’t be able to access Topic1-Subforum1-GroupH. Before running this “repair”, the forum_id for GroupH does not appear in that list. After the repair it does.

So, how is the forum_id for GroupH getting into this list of hidden forums when the post_status on the forum is most definitely private? (Verified by looking at its row in the posts table)

It’s getting there precisely by the means @mfiguerasma showed.

When the query is being run to get a list of all “hidden” forums, in order to create _bbp_hidden_forums, it invokes the pre_get_posts filter. bbPress uses that filter bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility() to change the query_vars.

Notice what’s happening here:

(1) The WP_Query is saying “I am trying to find a list of *hidden* forums” (I have my own reasons for why I want a list of hidden forums.)

(2) But bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility() seems to be second-guessing. I receives query_vars with post_type=hidden, but then the way its logic works is to say: “What are various post statuses that this user has permission to see. Ah, this user can see both hidden and private ones, so I’ll update the query_vars to include post_types of both hidden and private.”

I think the logic of bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility() is exactly backwards. It’s trying to include all of the post_types that the user can access. But that’s not why it has been invoked. It’s been invoked in the process of simply creating a list of hidden forums for _bbp_hidden_forums and its messing that up by including the private post_status.

(3) So what the WP_Query gets back is a list of forum_ids for all hidden *and private* groups. And that’s the list that ultimately gets stored in _bbp_hidden_forums.

So this “repair” actually breaks my forums.

If you simply remove this bbPress filter before doing the repair, it seems to produce the correct result. My TestUser can access Topic1-Subforum1-GroupH both before and after the repair when we remove the filter:
remove_action(‘pre_get_posts’,’bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility’,4);

I’ve just performed a clean installation of WP 4.5.3 and installed Version 2.5.10 of bbPress plugin. I am currently using the Twenty Fourteen theme.

I installed bbPress by following the instructions here on bbPress.org:

1. I created an empty page named “Forums” using the default forum root slug heading (i.e., ‘forums’).
2. Then I added the empty Forums page to the site’s main menu.

The only trouble that I’m having so far is: The “Forums” menu item [in the Secondary, Left-hand menu] isn’t highlighted when viewing the Forums page. I’d begin digging around to see if I can fix the problem myself but – without knowing anything about the complexities of WordPress – I’m not even sure where to begin debugging this. Is the menu’s dynamic functionality driven directly by WordPress? By the Twenty Fourteen theme? Or by the bbPress plugin?

Could someone please tell me how this is achieved? Or maybe tell me how to fix this?

I am just getting set up with BBpress and am in the process of creating the forums.

So I am running into problems.

The first error I get is

I click on OK to clear the error then click publish again then I get this error on a white screen:

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type WP_Post as array in /srv/disk11/2110213/www/jimandms.com/wp-content/plugins/social-networks-auto-poster-facebook-twitter-g/inc/nxs_functions_adv.php on line 155

I can go pull up the forum list and the forum that I just created is there. But I would still much rather not see any errors at all, of course.

My website is http://jimandms.com if you would like to pay a visit for some reason.

Thanks for reading!
