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.

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.

[shadow_boi]

Hi @Robkk,

one correction,

the notification does not work if I mention someone in forum reply or in a forum topic.

Notification works for when i mention someone in buddypress activity streams.

maybe what you said is true
“It might be expected behaviour since their might not be functionality for notifications if the @mention is in bbPress forums.”

i just wanted to double check if thats the case, if bbpress doesnt support “mention” notification as yet, then its okay, i wont bother.
However, if bbpress supports mention notification and somehow doesn’t work for me, i would like to find out why.

thanks

[Robkk]

Heck I might not need to, it may already be in the next major release.

If you go to this sites new topic page, you will see the forum dropdown does not show the (no forum), it just displays the first form in the list by default.

Create New Topic

Will check to make sure later though.

It might be expected behaviour since their might not be functionality for notifications if the @mention is in bbPress forums.

So what you said is that @mentioning a user in the replies does not work, but it does in topics?

And of course it works find in the BuddyPress activity streams.

[Robkk]

Tested it out on your site and I saw the issue. I don’t really have a fix for this yet but I know another guy that had something similar and I wonder if something in your guys set-ups could be causing the issue.

I emailed you some questions to help me try to pinpoint the issue.

If I still can’t find anything, I will just collect some data and post what you two guys already did and report a bug on the bbPress trac linking to both of your guys topics.

[shadow_boi]

okay, i tried the following:

tag user in BuddyPress Activity, user could receive notification
tag user in bbpress forum post/comment, user could not receive notification

it seems like tagging user in forum does trigger notification, can anyone here confirm if this is expected behaviour?

if i want to trigger notification when user is tagged in forum post/comment, what should i do? thanks

[Robkk]

I am not sure if having email/bubble notifications is there if you @mention someone in bbPress forums.

Maybe using this would add a notification but I am not sure.

Use this custom CSS to make the forums full-width.

.bbpress #content {
  width: 100%;
}

[shadow_boi]

Hi,

when i mention user (eg: @shadow_boi) in a new forum post/reply, is the mentioned user supposed to receive a bubble notification?

I tired, but there is no bubble notification or email sent. was it expected?

WP: 4.3
theme: Twenty FifteenVersion: 1.3
buddypress 2.3.2.1
bbpress 2.5.8

i have disabled all other plugins except for bbpress and buddypress

[Robkk]

I see it is now on your forums. I see that the CSS causing the issue is definitely from the bbPress New UI plugin in its dark theme.

Contact the developer of the plugin so other users do not come across the same issue as you are.

Oh and bbPress has classes for each of its areas on the forums, most prefixed with some kind of bbp in them. Other plugins and themes could use those classes and add CSS styles for those areas in their own respective stylesheets to style the forums differently.

[Robkk]

You can create a ticket in the bbPress trac, if you think this would be a great idea to have a hook for. I cannot really think of any other great uses except for the link counter feature you said though.

Hey, I have a multisite network set up. I have buddypress network activated and bbpress network activate. On a subsite of my network, I have bbpress forums set up. When a user subscribes to a topic, or posts a new topic, these don’t appear in their Buddypress profile?

There’s essential nowhere to view subscriptions etc – as the buddypress profile overrides the bbpress one.

Any ideas????

Thanks!

[ananotheruser]

Thank you for your fast reply.

My website is running on a WAMP Server, that’s why I linked the theme that I use instead of a link to my website wich isn’t hosted : I’m only using the last version of WordPress, same about bbpress and the theme BrickYard, nothing more. And all is on a fresh install.

[Robkk]

Do some troubleshooting. It could be cache, your permalinks need to be refreshed, etc.

I kind of disagree with using a theme for just bbPress templates, just customize the forums to your liking with a plugin like bbP style pack.

[Robkk]

Depends on what you need. It may be best for you to just search the plugins directory to find what you need.

Plugins

[Robkk]

bbPress does not create any database tables it used WordPress’s tables.

Install WP Admin No Show to disable users from accessing the WordPress backend.

Not sure, bbPress could always possibly need only slight changes to support it if any. You can always try it on a test server/local development area to check and make sure though.

[Robkk]

What does this have to do with bbPress?

[Robkk]

Create new roles with custom capabilities.

Custom Capabilities

TO have individual colors for each role, there is a function that might help. I think you need to create a varialbe to pass the bbp_get_user_display_role() with the id of the user in the reply author bbp_get_reply_author_id() to get the specific user role of the reply author then pass the user role name into $classes. You might also need to use strtolower() to make the class in your code lowercase.

function my_reply_class($classes) {
	$classes[] = 'test-class';
	return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_class','my_reply_class' );

After all that, all you would need to do is add this CSS.

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

Hi, I’m a developer and I can change bbPress if needed, but as you know mods on a plugin are removed on plugin update. Since bbPress has many “hooks”, that was an idea for a new one :-).

Have a nice day, Stefano.

[Robkk]

Not really a bbPress issue, bbPress just spits out the information. Read this codex guide explaining the issue.

bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly

[Robkk]

This sounds exactly like your other topic here…and the other one you also created.

HELP PLEASE NEW TO BBPRESS

It is most likely a cache issue on your end. Make sure you have WP-Super-Cache set up correctly and that the cache refreshes when a new post is published or updated.

Clear all cache files when a post or page is published or updated.

I saw this message on your forums page source code that is why I know you are using that specific plugin.

<!-- Dynamic page generated in 1.073 seconds. -->
<!-- Cached page generated by WP-Super-Cache on 2015-08-25 19:54:03 -->

<!-- super cache -->

Also do not post multiple topics of the same issue, just update your original topic.
