I think this is somewhat related to your other topic here.

Recently edited replies to the top

I guess you have to make sure the reply sorting is only working on the single topics and not the user profile pages.

You can try something like this to see if it works. You may not even need the second conditional bbp_is_single_user() but I was making sure.

function custom_bbp_has_replies( $args ) { 
    if ( bbp_is_single_topic{} && !bbp_is_single_user() ) { 
        $args['orderby'] .= 'post_modified';
        $args['order'] .= 'DESC';
    } 
    return $args; 
} 
add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args', 'custom_bbp_has_replies' );' );

Since I am not 100% sure that I have the right conditionals since I haven’t tested this you can double check here.

It is missing on the frontend of your site on the topic and reply forms right??

Did you make sure you have the Post Formatting enabled in Settings > Forums?

You can also see if it is a plugin issue by trying some troubleshooting. You can also see if you have some code snippet in your theme by switching to a default theme temporarily to see if it fixes the issue.

Troubleshooting

[Robkk]

Since I can tell this is related to this topic.

Sort topics alphabetically

Explain what you mean by pagination with ABC, like sorting through each the first letter of each topic?? That might be custom development, but explain exactly what you mean to make sure.

Hello, I’ve installed bbPress on my development server and everything worked perfectly. Now I have installed on my live site and the installation went smooth but when I create a new forum the tool bar for the editor doesn’t appear. I can add content and hit submit, but there is no way to format it with the absence of the toolbar. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Graeme

Solved it, maybe it’s helping others as well.
It’s been caused by a custom code in my functions that did sort the replies and with which I had no problems so far. As bbpress now has this reply order feature integrated, it has not only become redundant but conflicting. First appearing when I star to use bbpress’ integrated reply order feature, resulting in showing all replies of a users as “my replies” instead of the user’s only.

So without looking into the code I’m assuming it’s detected by the user’s ID as usual.

Hello

We have 2 invision boards to move into bbpress, but we want to merge 2 bbpress forum into one, is it possible? and how to do it please?

[tw_crowther]

WordPress Version: 4.3.1
Theme: Omega
bbPress Version: 2.5.8

Issue: I installed the bbPress plug-in. Created a Forum called Forum, and created one Topic so I can test. All bbPress settings are left as default.

I created a Page called Forums and added this page to my site navigation.

My issues are 3 fold.
1) When I click on “Forum” in the site navigation to access the page I created I do not see any forum imbedded on this page, all I see is are the words “Archives” then the title “Forums” in the main body of text.
2) If I click on the title Forums this does direct me to the bbPress Forum I created – How do I integrate the Forum directly onto the “Forums” custom page I created?
3) I notice the Forum URL is <sitename>/forums/forum/forum/ is there a way to remove 2 of these levels so the URL is simply <sitename>/forums

I hope this makes sense and you are able to help.
Kind regards,
Tom.

I am trying to add a forum to my site and have it protected by aMember. The user must have access to a certain product in aMember in order to access the forum. I’m totally confused as to whether I should be creating a bbPress login page or if the user should login through aMember. Nothing seems to be working.

Can someone help map out how this should look with the two integrated? I don’t want the user to have to login twice and I don’t believe they should since aMember and WordPress share a database (I think). Thanks for any assistance you can provide. Or if you know someone that would do this for a fee that would be great too. 🙂

Thank you,
Tanya

It could be a caching plugin or just cache in general. You may need to clear the cache on your site to see if everything works out well. Just deactivating a cache plugin will not clear whatever cache is still saved on your site.

Troubleshooting

[Robkk]

Try to see if it could be a plugin issue, like a spam plugin scanning a reply before it is posted or something.

Troubleshooting

It could also be the bbPress subscriptions hogging everything down. This plugin will hopefully help things out.

bbPress authentication forms are incomplete in functionality. It should stay on the same form and show the errors above the forms and all that, but it doesn’t just yet.

I recommend just using the default WordPress authentication forms.

[Robkk]

Try to see if it is a plugin issue, a code snippet in your child theme causing the issue.

Troubleshooting

[Robkk]

Try a default theme, disable all plugins except bbPress, and hopefully you didn’t try to modify the roles and permissions.

Troubleshooting

[Robkk]

and not any other plugin that might of had their settings modified

I knew it had to be a plugin like the bbPress notify plugin 🙂 Glad you resolved your own issue.

1) Are Private forums visible to all logged in users? I thought for sure it restricted access to only moderators and keymasters, but when I did some testing I noticed they’re very much visible. I didn’t see anything about it in the Layout and Funcionality article, so any tips on having a truly private forum for me and my forum staff?

Hidden Forums are only seen by Mods and Keymasters. Layout and Functionality article is basically a code snippet collection not something explaining how bbPress works.

The information you need to know are somewhat in here.

Creating Content

2) I wanted to prevent users changing their display name, so they would be forced to display themselves as whatever their username is, however, when editing form-user-edit.php they still had access to do so in the WP-Admin. Following the steps in Restricting access to WP Admin did nothing. The WP Admin Bar was still visible, and Participants or lower still have access to it.

Deny Ability To Change Display Name

Try to see if there is a plugin issue also.

I have trouble setting up bbPress.

I have created forums but when I try to create a topic (front-end) I get the following error:

ERROR: Are you sure you want to do that?

What does it mean? I have tried several times and with different themes (Twenty Twelve, Twenty Fourteen) but I get the same error every single time…

[AilyRoot]

just want to add that

editing bbpress/includes/common/shortcodes.php method resolve our problems of cloud size is too big

[AilyRoot]

Hi
we use bbpress 2.5.8, we use shortcode to show tag cloud, is there any way to control cloud’s length? it is way too long for us now

[Bet Hannon]

I’m not finding anything in the forums here on this, but I’m new… maybe I’m just missing something.

Topics & replies in our bbpress forums are displaying html tags like this:

<p>Hi everyone!</p><p>Included here is the agenda for the meeting on Saturday. Again, we’re gathering at 9:30, setting up, having some coffee, and then kicking off the meeting at 10am. We’ve got the space until 5, but let’s be super productive and get out of there early!</p><p> </p><p>See you tomorrow,</p><p>Patrick</p><p>———————————————————————————-</p><p class=”MsoNormal” style=”text-align: center;” align=”center”><b style=”mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;”><u>Outdoor Ministries Committee</u></b></p><p class=”MsoNormal” style=”text-align: center;” align=”center”>September 12, 2015 10:00am</p><p class=”MsoNormal” style=”text-align: center;” align=”center”>In-Person Annual Fall Debrief/Kick-Off</p><p class=”MsoNormal”> </p>

Why is this happening, and how can I get it to stop?

I’m running bbpress, bbP Private Groups, bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab, and GD bbPress Toolbox. Is this a known issue with one of them– or a combo of them?

I’ve been going through Layout and Functionality today, trying to fix some issue I’m currently experiencing with my bbPress forum. There are some things I can’t quite figure out:

1) Are Private forums visible to all logged in users? I thought for sure it restricted access to only moderators and keymasters, but when I did some testing I noticed they’re very much visible. I didn’t see anything about it in the Layout and Funcionality article, so any tips on having a truly private forum for me and my forum staff?

I finally found the problem with this. In short, an email notification containing a topic that contained spam was sent to the administrators. This triggered Bluehost to lock down my emails and put them in a spam folder, that’s why we weren’t getting them.

It took over a week to actually get a ticket generated by a tech support person. Then Bluehost sent me a very terse email with their spam policy. I was in violation of their rules, sending out spam, and that if I did this again, I would lose my account. They unblocked my emails and they have been working again up until last week. The plugin that sends these forum notifications is called bbPress Notify.

About a week ago the notifications were being sent but the content was missing. After a lot of troubleshooting I discovered that the bbPress Notify plugin had not been attended to by the developer for a long time. I uninstalled it and installed a plugin called bbPress Notify (No Spam). It basically does the same thing but with the addition of not sending notifications of spam topics or replies.

This worked immediately. This plug is being kept up to date and the developer has a paid addon that will also allow users to discontinue the notification emails if they wish.

Problem solved.
thank you for your help!

I resolved this with some exploration. The plugin that was providing this notificatoin function is called bbPress Notify. When I went to its WordPress page I discovered that the developer had not updated this in quite a while and the forum had plenty of topics asking for help, but there had been no response.

Doing a quick plugin search I discovered the plugin bbPress (No Spam) was up to date. So I uninstalled bbPress Notify and installed bbPress Notify (No Spam). I sent a message through the forum and the notification sent had content in it!

I am not sure why bbPress Notify continued to work until just last week but clearly one of the other plugins was updated and prevented this one from inserting the content into the emails. This plugin also prevented the forum notification from attaching content.

If you need to use a notification plugin (by role), this would be the current one that works well. It is essentially the same plugin as bbPress Notify but with the addition of being able to set it to not send notification of spam via email. This is actually a great benefit. Recently a topic notification email that contained spam was sent out to the moderators from the dashboard via bbPress Notify and my hosting service locked my email down for over a week for sending unsolicited spam. They sent me a warning letter that they would close my account if I did it again. I was clueless what had happened until I found this plugin today.

Deactivating and activating these plugins definitely causes issues, such as stripping all the capabilities from all the role types. Crap.

Skimming through the internet reveals people with similar problems, but no clear resolution that I can follow. It seems like these role plugins can write into the database and mess with bbPress settings (at least from my understanding of it).

I need a way of reversing the damage this has done, but without losing my forums if possible. Fortunately, the site is new so the forum is not active, but I would rather not have to build up the structure from scratch.

[davellan]

So iMember360 has a hook that I am trying to attach with to bbPress that I am struggling to do.

I want to set it up so that when a user logins, and they contain certain tags (detected by iMember360), to change bbPress roles.

Below is the hook I am trying to use.

function my_i4w_authenticated_lremote_ogin($wp_user, $arrINFU) {
  //
  // $wp_user is the user object (same as the standard $current_user)
  //
  // $contact is an array with all contact record fields.
  // add your code to perform any desired action, such as sending an email notification
  // or updating contact record to reflect the login that just took place

  $your_code_goes_here = true;

}

add_action('i4w_authenticated_remote_login', 'my_i4w_authenticated_remote_login',10,2);

Here is what I tried to do:

function i4w_authenticated_remote_login_action($user, $contact) {
  global $SESSION;
  IF ($arrTAGS = explode(',', $SESSION['i4wuser']['Groups'])) :
    IF (in_array(38181, $arrTAGS) || in_array(38185, $arrTAGS) || in_array(38193, $arrTAGS)) :
      $bbp = bbpress();
      $bbp->current_user = new WP_User($user->ID);
	  $new_role_forum_role=”bbp_participant”;
	  bbp_set_user_role( $bbp->current_user, $new_role_forum_role );
    ELSEIF (in_array(38177, $arrTAGS) || in_array(38195, $arrTAGS) || in_array(38183, $arrTAGS) || in_array(38187, $arrTAGS) || in_array(38189, $arrTAGS)) :
      $bbp = bbpress();
      $bbp->current_user = new WP_User($user->ID);
	  $new_role_forum_role=”bbp_spectator”;
	  bbp_set_user_role( $bbp->current_user, $new_role_forum_role );
    ENDIF;
  ENDIF;
}
add_action('i4w_authenticated_remote_login', 'i4w_authenticated_remote_login_action', 10, 2);

However, nothing happens. I am not sure what I am missing here, but I suspect it is my lack of understanding with bbPress that is the issue.
