got an issue regarding Stephen Edgar – Netweb – bbPress – Custom Role Names (Link)

I change Keymaster role name to Administrator. The plugin works fine w/ logged in users but logged off users still views as Keymaster role name.

Hoping for answers. Thanks!

This is the response I got from Nimva:

Your code source and current page template might be generated using BBPress templates not by Nimva page templates. Try to edit that Forums page and see if it is possible change the current page template to Default page template under Page Attributes -> Templates. See if that does anything

I think what they are asking me to do is create a page and put the forum index shortcode in it. Then they want me to try to adjust the page template to see if a sidebar shows up. This might work, but it would only work for the main index page. I don’t think this would work for every category/topic/ect.. unless I create shortcode pages for all of them.

Can you all please advise?

I’m trying to follow https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/ step 6, and every time I make a “forums page” the permalink becomes “forums-2” and I can’t edit it to just “forums”, like there’s already a link with that “forums” even though I don’t have a “forums” page already.

When I delete the forums-related pages, the mydomain.com/forums is still there.

I tried the method 2 from the codex, but I do not like it as the Home > forums is there and when I click on forums, it takes me to a blank page.

How do I fix this permalink issue?

Hello All,

I am using a buddypress+bbpress intergrated site, hence the bbpress profiles are disabled. Only buddypress profiles are made visible because of which I can’t figure out which user is subscribed to which forum. Is there a function or a shortcode using which I can display on the user dashboard the topics/forums he is subscribed to?

Thanks.

Hello All,

I have a buddypress & bbpress integrated site. I am using buddypress groups inside which the bbpress forums exists. There are about 4 groups with 30 members in each group and I have used a “invert subscribe” code (in my functions file), which I came across on one of the threads here. It by default makes the members of the group to be subscribed to the forum and receive email alerts for every thread/topic created.

But now after I installed the Postman email plugin, I noticed that the email notification meant for the members of the group are being sent out to the members of all the group and all the 120+ users on the site. How can I avoid this and see to it that the emails are being sent out only to the particular group members.

Here is the invert subscribe code that I am using:

add_filter( 'bbp_get_user_subscribe_link', 'invert_get_user_subscribe_link', 10, 4 ); //invert forum subscription
add_filter( 'bbp_is_user_subscribed_to_forum', 'invert_is_user_subscribed_to_forum', 10, 4 ); //invert forum subscription
add_filter( 'bbp_get_forum_subscribers', 'invert_get_forum_subscribers' ); //invert forum subscription
add_filter( 'bbp_is_user_subscribed', 'invert_is_user_subscribed', 10, 4 ); //invert forum subscription

function invert_is_user_subscribed($retval, $user_id, $object_id, $subscribed_ids) {
	if (get_post_type( $object_id ) == bbp_get_forum_post_type())
		return !$retval;
	else	
		return $retval;
}

function strContains($needle, $haystack) {
	if (strpos($haystack, $needle) !== false) {
		return true;
	} else {
		return false;
	}
}

function invert_get_user_subscribe_link ($html, $r, $user_id, $topic_id) {
	if (strContains( "bbp_unsubscribe", $html )) {
		$html = str_replace("bbp_unsubscribe", "bbp_subscribe", $html);
	} else {
		$html = str_replace("bbp_subscribe", "bbp_unsubscribe", $html);
	}
	return $html;
}

function invert_get_forum_subscribers( $users ) {
	$args = array('fields' => 'id');
	$all_users = get_users($args);
	$send_to_users    = array_diff($all_users, $users);
	return $send_to_users;
}

function invert_is_user_subscribed_to_forum( $retval, $user_id, $forum_id, $subscribed_ids ) {
	return !$retval;
}

add_action('bbp_theme_after_topic_form_subscriptions', 'subscribed_by_default'); //default subscribe
add_action('bbp_theme_after_reply_form_subscription', 'subscribed_by_default'); //default subscribe

function subscribed_by_default() {
	echo '<script type="text/javascript">jQuery("#bbp_topic_subscription").prop("checked","checked");</script>';
}
?>

Thanks!

Hi Rob, it is my theme’s style sheet with changed colour code and it’s not styling.

Did you try adding !important to see if that would work??

The index was fine – I assume because I filled in description and it’s filled out. Specific board indexes don’t fill to 100% nor do thread pages without much written in the posts.

Yes. Sorry my mistake. It might be that bbPress is inheriting different templates for archive and single pages. Try to check that by installing the What the File plugin and see what template is being inherited from the forum archive and single topic pages and see if it is different.

[Robkk]

Do you want full width forums and just the sidebar placed under the forums??

If you do remove this part of the CSS code.

.bbpress .sidebar {
  width: 0;
  display: none;
}

i can tell you are also using a full width template from your theme, and of course that will hide the sidebar.

[Robkk]

It is in loop-single-topic.php and loop-single-forum.php.

In the files you will see something similar to this. In this example I am editing the loop-single-topic.php file.

<span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author">
    <?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_topic_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?></span>

Change it to something like this. You see I just added the extra attribute. 'type' => 'avatar'

<span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author">
	<?php bbp_author_link( array( 
                'post_id' => bbp_get_topic_last_active_id(), 
                'size' => 14 , 
                'type' => 'avatar'
                ) );
       ?>
</span>

bbp_author_link

You can create a bbpress.php file in your theme to avoid issues like that.

Getting Started in Modifying the Main bbPress Template

Robkk,

Thanks for that. It fixed the space issue. Now I have to figure out how to get a sidebar working.
I have been trying to do this by going to the page labelled “forums” that has the index shortcode in it and then adding a sidebar that I have created. I then added widgets to that sidebar. I have also tried content aware and bbpress wp tweak. I still can’t get a sidebar to show on the bbpress page. I can get it to show on any other page.

[aaron2310]

I’ve been editing the Single.php page recently and when I went back to the forum page I found that the forum was displaying some of the changes I’d made to single.php. It looks like it’s taking that as its template rather than index.php. Can I change this?

Hi Guys,

Having issues removing the author name in the freshness column.

The author shows up under the topic column (Started by: <author>), and it also shows up on the freshness column (<avatar> <author>).

I want to remove the last part.

I have copied loop-forums.php and loop-single.php into my <theme>\bbpress\ folder and am assuming I need to modify one of these?

Thanks In Advance

@dannyfoo I came across your screenshot above. I would be very interested to know how you managed to load the login form at the top of the page? I am not looking for the login to be on the same line as the search box. I would just like to know how to position the Login, Register and Lost password buttons at the top of the forum index page (and possible all the bbpress pages).
Many thanks.

[Kari1]

is there a polish language pack for bbPress 2.6 too?

[samuelstraka]

I thought that when I click to Forum there was submenu with one choice Seetings.
bbPress 2.6 alpha is installed and activated by manual installation but I don’t use it now on our web because I don’t want to use it in English. I will find Czech translation or I will try to translate it …

[Robkk]

Did you try some troubleshooting first? Check to see if it works fine in a default theme. If it still does not work in a default theme, try to see if a plugin could be causing the issue also by doing the listed steps for troubleshooting a plugin issue.

Plugin/Theme updates could cause an issue to pop up without it previously being there before.

The enable tinymce visual tab plugin just uses the exact same code in here.

Enable Visual Editor

I do not think cache could cause an issue like this.

It is something that slipped my mind, but it is most likely that paragraph tags are considered restricted HTML for some reason.

Use and edit this function in the plugin below to your liking.

https://gist.github.com/ntwb/7797990

You will most likely need to add this to make it work for participants.

//paragraph
'p'          => array(
	'class'    => true,
),

Admins/Keymasters can post unrestricted HTML because they have the capability to do so.

The only table I think bbPress creates is the one for importing forums/keeping extra imported forum data. Most of the data bbPress has are stored in WordPress tables, but all that data should be gone if you ran the reset forums tools(well except the forum roles).

Stored Database Data

If you are looking to delete users you can go into Users > All Users in the WordPress backend and then start bulk deleting users.

[Robkk]

Any testing for the issue in this ticket is greatly appreciated.

My WordPress plugins directory is sym-linked to another folder on the server. So, the following path:
/wp-content/plugins

Is actually a symlink to /home/bayb_qa/shared/plugins

However, for some reason bbpress uses the absolute path (/home/bayb_qa/shared/plugins), rather than the relative path “/wp-content/plugins” when including its css and javascript, such as bbpress.css and editor.js.

This causes 404 problems loading the two files. Is bbPress not designed to handle a symlinked plugins dir?

[NickUdd]

Thanks Robkk,

Do you know which tables belongs to bbpress?

[Bet Hannon]

Yep, while it doesn’t do it when I post, it does print the <p> tags for at least some users–and that part is weird. It looks like this:

<p>I completely support a focus on...

I have the plugin “bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab” running. I haven’t been able to test yet, but the client really does need that full visual editor for their users, so I hope it’s not that.

I did double-check the plain text filter. Maybe there was a caching issue with respect to the filter? I emptied all the caches just to be sure.

Hello, after updating to WordPress 4.3.1, I’ve noticed that there is no content area for topics in my 2.5.8 bbPress Forum. What gives?

https://www.area103ppg.com/forums/topic/international-flights/

Thanks for your help!

[Robkk]

Nevermind I think you have to update to 4x, the other importer is for a much older version of vBull.

Make sure to have a backup saved before doing an import. You may try doing a backup on a test server also.

The links are like this because that is how it is in your theme.

You can try this custom css to remove the underline. Place the custom css in your child themes custom css or anywhere else you can place custom css like a plugin or theme.

.bbpress .post-content a {
    text-decoration: none !important;
}
