Hello,

My Forum is creating multiple pages, yet they all fit on one page. At the bottom of the forums page, it is listing 4 pages. However clicking each page brings the exact same content.

Using Bbpress 2.5.8
Using WP 4.3

If you have a support forum this plugin will help you add additional topic statuses like resolved.

[Robkk]

this is great. thanks Robkk. Just one question… Do I put this into the bbpress.php file in the bbpress folder?

No. Also the bbpress.php file should be in the root of your theme.

I added it here: wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress

Just checking if that is correct?

Don’t mess with any core files.

Okay so I put the above code in here and it seems to work:

plugins > bbpress > includes > users

Again, just checking if that is correct?

Don’t mess with any core files.

Here, I forgot I did this a while back. Add this to your functions.php file in your child theme.

function rk_show_role_classes($classes) {
    $replyid = bbp_get_reply_author_id();
    $bbp_get_role = bbp_get_user_display_role($replyid);
    $bbp_display_role = strtolower($bbp_get_role);
	  
  
	$classes[] = $bbp_display_role;
	return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_class','rk_show_role_classes' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_class','rk_show_role_classes' );

Do the CSS I said before for the above code.

It would be something like this but for each role.

.ambassador .bbp-author-role {
  background-color: blue;
}

And if you do not need custom roles but instead just role names, lets say for each role it would be like this.

Keymaster -> Ambassador
Moderator -> Team Member
Participant -> Community Member

You can just change the role names using this function. Add it to your child themes functions.php file. And rename My Custom Role to what you want.

add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names' );
function ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names() {
	return array(
		// Keymaster
		bbp_get_keymaster_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Keymaster Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() )
		),
		// Moderator
		bbp_get_moderator_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Moderator Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() )
		),
		// Participant
		bbp_get_participant_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Participant Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
		),
		// Spectator
		bbp_get_spectator_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Spectator Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_spectator_role() )
		),
		// Blocked
		bbp_get_blocked_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Blocked Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_blocked_role() )
		)
	);
}

Oh and quit trying to copy Ultimate Members site, try to have a unique website.

You may need to run some repair tools like Lynq did in this plugin.

Test Data for bbPress – Plugin

Running more than one repair tool can be resource intensive so be careful.

When I contacted the devs yesterday, one of them said that they haven’t come across this issue lately, and also if WordPress was installed in a subfolder.

They said a possible issue is that there might be some caching where it shouldn’t be.

I replied and said that I will at least keep this bug, that you and some other guys are experiencing, as a possible issue with bbPress. I will also report back to the devs if it happens to another user again, then we can go to bug finding from there.

[Robkk]

But its not contained in a nice neat pop-up box like here in bbpress’s sub-header bar.

That is a modified WordPress toolbar slipped under the header.

Is there a way to include registration link inside the login widget? or is there a registration widget?

There should be some settings in the widget to input a registration link and a forgot password link too.

[Brovashift]

Hi Robkk,

Thanks for getting back to me re my login/reg issue.

The plugin you sent looks good, but ideally Id like to handle the login/registration natively.

I have added the bbp-login / bbp-register on a single page, which works to some extent, looks kinda basic. But its not contained in a nice neat pop-up box like here in bbpress’s sub-header bar.

More importantly, there is no Logout! Do I need another shortcode for that? [bbp-logout] maybe?

Thanks for your help

Rob

Hello all!

I would really like to find a way to create a new topic status.

Unfortunately, bbpress for resolved topics just has closed status, that actually disables the option to post in that topic for normal customers. I would really like to achieve a way to have an additional custom status like resolved, that is not closed and allows my moderators to organize properly.

Is there a way to hook a topic status? I would really prefer it than hacking bbpress and didn’t figure out how to make it. My idea is declaring it in bbpress.php but is not a beautiful solution.

Any idea?

[sbskamey]

Okay so I put the above code in here and it seems to work:

plugins > bbpress > includes > users

Again, just checking if that is correct?

Now to change the background colours, god that’s gonna take me another 2 days! :p

[sbskamey]

I added it here: wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress

Just checking if that is correct?

[pazzaglia]

When I receive a default e-mail alert of a topic or reply from BBPress, if I view the e-mail’s full header the e-mail addresses of all the subscribed users in that topic are visible.

This is not just the admin alerts, also users are seeing this.

Please fix!!

[sbskamey]

this is great. thanks Robkk. Just one question… Do I put this into the bbpress.php file in the bbpress folder?

[Eslam Yosef]

Hi,

I’m making a multi-languages website, and I’m starting with English (original), Arabic and Chinese. My team includes original speakers of each language so we can have a good view of which words are for humans and which are not.

The Arabic translation (which located here) is suck .. really!

I tried to edit the translation and download the new files, but I can’t because there’s a current translation I don’t want it.

Since I can’t create the file myself, my question is:

How can I make my own translation in the same way and download only what I translated?

Thanks in advance!

[Robkk]

Okay I just renamed the login page using the AIO security and firewall plugin. I have bbPress enabled but do not see an issue.

You said this on the topic you linked to.

We want users to be able to register and comment etc. but we want to keep them out of the wp-dashboard completely. So we have a alternate profile page etc. and are denying access for all nor administrator & editor users. I don’t know if this might have an effect on these things.

What are you using to lock them out of the dashboard?

[Robkk]

copy form-anonymous.php in your child theme and remove this in the file.

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

Try some troubleshooting it could be your theme conflicting with bbPress. Try a default theme temporarily to see if is in fact bbPress causing the issue with any scripts.

Troubleshooting

Contact the theme author if it just your theme, and see if they have a fix for users that want to use bbPress.

The debug information you got is explained here.

bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly

[Robkk]

Any plugin that hooks into the default WordPress registration and adds special fields should add fields also to the bbPress registration form.

A plugin like this could add extra fields.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/cimy-user-extra-fields/

This site uses the [bbp-login] shortcode and there is a message on the registration page that says this site uses the same registration details as WordPress.org.

[Robkk]

It’s amazing that such a feature is not developed !

Is this feature really easy to create??

Since bbPress does not have a view other users threads/replies and a reply to other users threads/replies user capability, I guess no.

You might be able to do this with the Private Groups plugin but that would take a lot of time to create each group.

A private emssaging plugin or a plugin like BuddyPress that has private messaging could be a good alternative though.

If you need this developed for you, you can always hire a developer to create this for you.

But really I have never seen anybody turn bbPress into a ticket system.

[Brovashift]

Hi all,

Just setting up my new forum using the latest versions of wordpress and bbpress, but Im having trouble handling user registration.

Ive used the forum login widget to handle logins in my sidebar, but im not happy with registration. I created a new page called registration and added the shortcode [bbp-register]. But this is really basic and not what a am looking for at all, unless its possible to edit it somehow, something I am fairly sure cannot be done to a shortcode?

Does anyone have any suggestion as to what login and registration plugins are good to use? Or anyone know what this bbpress site uses to handle its login and registrations, that looks good handling both functions in one tidy box in a single area.

Thanks for you help in advance.

🙂

Hello, I’m having some issues with bbpress, when i activate the plugin all the ajax / jquery features fail to work i.e add to watchlist button, posts, maps, and anything that uses scripts to load.

Has anyone experianced this or know the cause, I enabled debug and it gives me this error, not sure if it’s linked, Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /wp-includes/functions.php on line 3622

At the moment I cannot use the plugin as my site uses a lot of scripts to load the features.

Let me know if you’re able to help. Thanks

[Robkk]

You installed WordPress in a subdirectory? This is one of the trac tickets that I found and it may seem to have the exact issue you do. Confirm so I can make sure the issue is not fixed.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1645

I will mark the topic as [resolved] and close it after you reply to confirm the issue.

[Robkk]

I could be wrong because I remember someone from BuddyPress @mentioned me on their forums and I got a notification for it.

It might be something introduced in the next major version of bbPress which both sites run, or that you need to make sure you type the user’s username correctly instead of their display name.

[Robkk]

What troubleshooting did you already do? Did you already do the plugin and theme troubleshooting?

Troubleshooting

Also sometimes it may not necessarily be a caching plugin, it could also be other thing caching your site, like cloudflare, hosting server cache, something like that.

You can always test your sites theme/plugins on a test server.

[Robkk]

Glad that you solved your own issue. 🙂

I am going to bookmark this so that I can lead user to your fix if they come across the same issue.

I wonder if this is related to past issues with bbPress with logging out, before I make a trac trac ticket of this issue.

Was this site set up in a multisite installation?? If not I will create a unique ticket for this issue.

[Robkk]

Yeah bbPress does not support @mention notifications.
