Hi Stephen

Thanks for your input here.:-)

I guess i did not understand you very well 🙁
You telling that in the en_US.po file it works, am i correct?

I´ve just download a fresh copy of the po file at: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/pt-br/default

and that is the header:

there is no Kewyword list
I´ve read something regarding this issue also on buddypress foruns. It seems that the strings after the “_x(….” caracter is the problem on some languages.

Hello again.

I just installed a new website and the latest version of WordPress and BBpress and the last code that worked well in that website is no working here. The email notification works well, but still is checked the log field…

Any suggestion please?

I guess that the code of BBpress has changed in recent versions…

Thanks in advance

[Robkk]

Thanks for debugging and creating this ticket, sorry for not responding earlier though.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2829

I will contact the devs about this to see what they think.

[Robkk]

The freshness looks off a little, if your theme had custom bbPress templates in it you can copy that over to your child theme if you still want to use a child theme. Well if copying the templates caused the freshness looking off issue.

For your 404 errors you really have to try to find a resolution from the theme author since the issue is present from the theme.

[Robkk]

Are they just uploaded to the server and navigated to in the browser?

they both seem to be standalone PHP scripts.

on the SMF one the creator says how he ran it.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/smf-import-to-bbpress/page/5/#post-159797

The kuena one is detailed by the author here.

Kunena converter for bbPress 2.4

[Robkk]

You can try and see if resetting your permalinks helps any

Navigation Links Return 404s Errors

Other than that maybe try putting the main bbPress templates into a child-theme.

Theme Compatibility

[Robkk]

Maybe the URL of the registration page can be used as the URI.

Yes use that page you created with the bbPress registration form shortcode. You can also use the default WordPress registration page which would be.

http://yoursite.com/open/wp-login.php?action=register

Same for the Lost Password page, you can use the page you placed the bbPress lost password shortcode or the default lost password form by WordPress.

[Robkk]

9 years. Man. Can you stop rely on third party developers and plugins. They are simply said a mess.
This one from this trac is not the only one lacking in forum core.

First 5 years is an entirely different bbPress from what it is now, but the last 4 it picked up more and more and now it seems to be finished from what I can tell.

Make a list of “must” things in the core. Otherways you lose time coding, relatively nobody use bbPress.

There is this, that lists possible considerable plugin functionality that might be in the core. I need to clean it up later though and move some information I placed their earlier to some other guide I created. There are also probably more functionality I recommended to be adopted that I haven’t yet listed in the page yet.

Feature Plugins Tracking

Share tasks between bbPress core developers and give each of them, or few of them, adopt a fetured plugin. it doesnt have to be in the core. Just some security it will follow all changes in the bbPress core and adapt fast to changes, continue to work with all new bbPress version.

Plugin functionality adoption happens for some plugins like bbPress threaded replies which made its way to core, and also topic/forum subscriptions. Other plugins need to rely on the plugin author to keep up, if there is an issue or no updates the community will usually fork/adopt the plugin. I might help though, I thought about it.

I repeat, third party (plugins) community for bbPress is a complete mess and cannot be trusted. How do you expect people can sleep well with 5-15 thousands of registered Users on forum and one important third party plugin has a developer writing one comment per year on support forum. Or per 3 months, one per month. All the same.

Hopefully when I get around to writing the Plugin developer section in the codex, that it will help most of the code quality/security side of things. But right now most devs will have to use the WordPress codex to gain their knowledge of this (I am mostly gonna base the information I learn from this).

Support Forum activity has many factors to it. The dev could be busy or just stopped supporting the plugin.

Also would you mind sending me list of plugins that you may not trust through my email, not to call anyone out in the forum. And see if I can take a look at why you may be thinking that.

I just changed the https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev pending string to stickfinger and it works as expected 😉

post test:

I looked at:

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

I tried to write an explanation of what I did, but flood detection seems to be deleting my posts.

Edit:

I tried to use:

If you do not permit anonymous posting, then your users will need to register with your site. It is up to you to decide which method is preferable.

Automatic registration is easier and it does allow people to quickly sign up, but by the same token gives you less control over who is contributing to your forums, and can lead to spam postings.

Manual signup involves you in more administration, but does give you complete control over who has write access.

Neither is better overall, but one will be better for you !

To allow automatic registration, go to Dashboard > Settings > General settings and under membership, tick “anyone can register”. Then in Dashboard > settings > forums tick the auto role, and ensure this is only at participant level.

To set manual registration, go to Dashboard > Settings > General settings and under membership, and ensure “anyone can register” is not ticked. Then in Dashboard>settings>forums tick the auto role, and ensure this is only at participant level.

In both cases, you will then need a screen for users to register – we’ll come back to where to put this screen later, but for the moment go into dashboard>pages>add new page and create a page. You can call this page anything you like but “register” or “registration” would be logical when users view or access its URL.

If you are doing automatic registration, then put whatever preamble you’d like (“to register for our forums” etc.) , and then add the following shortcode [bbp-register]. Save the page.

and I can register new users by the page at:

http://makers.beyondnp.com/open/?page_id=149

but I don’t know how to fix the widget. Maybe the URL of the registration page can be used as the URI.

This trac forced me to open this topic. Dont want to write offtopic there.

9 years. Man. Can you stop rely on third party developers and plugins. They are simply said a mess.
This one from this trac is not the only one lacking in forum core.

Make a list of “must” things in the core. Otherways you lose time coding, relatively nobody use bbPress.

WordPress is very successful, why not clone this success on bbPress ?
Share tasks between bbPress core developers and give each of them, or few of them, adopt a fetured plugin. it doesnt have to be in the core. Just some security it will follow all changes in the bbPress core and adapt fast to changes, continue to work with all new bbPress version.

Or per 3 months, one per month. All the same.

At the end you boycott yourself. Coding and losing time for nothing. Compared to success of WordPress self, and compared to other popular forum scripts, of course.

[gothweb]

please include your WordPress version, bbPress version, and a link to your site.

Wordpress 4.2.2

bbPress 2.5.8

http://makers.beyondnp.com/open/?post_type=forum

[gothweb]

So I installed bbPress 2.5.8 and I got some new widgets.

The bbPress Login Widget has three items:

Title

Register URI

Lost Password URI

all these three things are blank.

Title can be anything, but I don’t know the URI for “register” or “lost password” so strangers can’t sign up to my forum.

I was able to create forums, but my main admin account is the only account that can post to these forums.

Please tell me how I set up registration. I assume I just need to plug in one or two URIs, but I can’t find any explanation of how to do that.

[Robkk]

Thanks Robkk. Unfortunately, It’s on a corporate intranet and the server we are using is firehost. You wouldn’t be able to log in from where you are and the content is confidential.

Yeah sorry wasn’t thinking right, was half-asleep yesterday.

You can email me a list of plugins on your site so I could see if I recall any that may cause any issues.

bbPress should be able to work in an intranet environment, I guess if it is just a private community. There might be a bug if your site contains a port in the url though.

[Robkk]

Its some CSS in your theme something is hiding the .reply class probably in your WordPress comments and it is affecting bbPress replies.

Adding this CSS should fix it.

#bbpress-forums .reply {
  display: block
}

One more question. Can bbpress work on intranets? If they can, is there something in the bbpress plugin code that is conflicting probably with the wordpress code on the firehost server? I’m running wordpress 4.2.2 and bbpress 2.5.8

[saintjaved]

Thanks Robkk. Unfortunately, It’s on a corporate intranet and the server we are using is firehost. You wouldn’t be able to log in from where you are and the content is confidential. BBPress would have been good for us regarding creating a forum for the site support. BBPress works well on my localhost on my mac laptop but on the intranet bbpress shuts off wordpress dashboard entirely. I don’t know why. Any more developments I would let you know.

[stickFinger]

Hi all
After a lot of digging i´ve found that the only way to translate the Topic Status dropdown strings is via the “bbpress/includes/topics/functions.php”, around line 1963, we have:

function bbp_get_topic_statuses() {
	return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_topic_statuses', array(
		bbp_get_public_status_id()  => _x( 'Aberto',    'Open the topic',        'bbpress' ),
		bbp_get_closed_status_id()  => _x( 'Fechado',  'Close the topic',       'bbpress' ),
		bbp_get_spam_status_id()    => _x( 'Spam',    'Spam the topic',        'bbpress' ),
		bbp_get_trash_status_id()   => _x( 'lixeira',   'Trash the topic',       'bbpress' ),
		bbp_get_pending_status_id() => _x( 'Pendente', 'Mark topic as pending', 'bbpress' ),

i´ve also downloaded the last development version of pt_BR.po from https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev but despite of strings being there they don´t get translated.
Opening the po with a text editor i´ve noticed the absense of the “X-Poedit-KeywordsList: ” which i guess should be something like that:

"X-Poedit-KeywordsList: __;_e;__ngettext:1,2;_n:1,2;__ngettext_noop:1,2;"
"_n_noop:1,2;_c,_nc:4c,1,2;_x:1,2c;_ex:1,2c;_nx:4c,1,2;_nx_noop:4c,1,2\n"

For now i´ll try to add the keywordlist by hand at the top of my pt_BR file. Hope that fixes te issues specially with the _x:1,2c keyword

What could be wrong with the glotpress generator?
Thanks

The Invision converter is in

wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\admin\converters\invision

if you don’t mind share your conversion code/experience to the community, it would help a lot.

There have been users doing something similar to this especially for attachments (but probably different forum system). I can also show you their code if that would help you any.

[ghoush]

I have searched and put code together and tested. Now whenever a new post is created in WordPress a new topic is created in a specific sub-forum on my bbPress. This is working great. It brings over the tags and everything.

The one problem I have is that the publish_post action fires every time a post is set to published. So if a post gets set back to draft or pending review, and then published again, another forum topic is created. There are problaby 2097324907629306 ways this can be solved. I am only coming up with some pretty stupid ones I think, so I was hoping someone might have a good idea here.

Here is the code for your functions.php:

function post_published_create_topic( $ID, $post ) {
    $author = $post->post_author;
    $name = get_the_author_meta( 'display_name', $author );
    $title = $post->post_title;
    $permalink = get_permalink( $ID );
    $excerpt = $post->post_excerpt;
    $subject = sprintf( '%s: %s', $name, $title );
    $message = sprintf ('[b]%s[/b]' . "\n" . 'By %s' . "\n\n" . '[i]%s[/i]' . "\n\n" . 'View: %s' . "\n\n", $title, $name, $excerpt, $permalink );
    $tags = wp_get_post_tags( $ID, array( 'fields' => 'names' ) );

    $new_post = array(
        'post_title'    => $subject,
        'post_content'  => $message,
        'post_parent' => 691,
        'post_status'   => 'publish',
        'post_type' => 'topic'
    );
    $topic_meta = array(
    'forum_id'       => $new_post['post_parent']
    );
    $topic_id = bbp_insert_topic($new_post, $topic_meta);
    $term_taxonomy_ids = wp_set_object_terms( $topic_id, $tags, 'topic-tag' );
}
add_action( 'publish_post', 'post_published_create_topic', 10, 2 );

Take that code and put it in your themes functions.php (hopefully you are using a child theme.) The 691 is my sub-forums ID, replace that with the right ID for yours. The format of the post and its content is done on the line that starts “$message = sprintf”.

Now I just need to get it to stop creating a new post every time the same post is published. So far my ideas have been something like matching up the topics title with a string comparison, but that seems a bit heavy. There should be a simpler way and I am just not seeing it right now.

[beherawr]

This can happen also in some default themes like Twenty Fifteen (should work in Twenty Twelve though), but can also be easily fixed by placing the bbPress template files into a child theme.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

I tried copying my ‘css’ and ‘bbpress’ directories from my template files to my theme as outlined in your link, however it changed nothing.

Do profiles show up without BuddyPress?

Not quite sure what you mean…. if you mean can I see a user profile with bbpress deactivated then the answer is no.

Also, the link to the ‘Edit Profile’ button is exactly what I needed, however it currently returns to 404 because of the previous unresolved issue.

[Robkk]

It should work? What WordPress and bbPress version are you using?

You can create me an Admin account so I can see if I can find an issue, you can email me the login details to my email listed here.

Contact

[saintjaved]

Yes I did. When I tried different themes the WordPress dashboard went blank. It seems only my themes work. I tried a different forum plugin and it worked. Kinda disappointed though because I wanted bbpress to work. Seems like there is a problem with bbpress running on the server I’m using
