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

[Robin W]

the bbpress authors believe this is a wordpress issue, so are waiting for them to fix

bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly.

Whilst it is annoying with debug turned on, it is not a fatal error and goes away when debug turned off as it should be for production sites

[husk3r]

Hey @jezza101 – any updates on your Android app for bbPress?

[billreefer]

All searches for ‘user guide for bbpress’ are all about us…how to set it up. But is there a real user guide resource for users of our sites that could be referenced in a help section for our members or in a support forum (for both bbpress and buddy press)

[Robin W]

try adding

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'old text' ) {
	$translated_text = 'new text';
	}
if ( $translated_text == 'old text2' ) {
	$translated_text = 'new text2';
	}

	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

to your functions file. The wording needs to be exact including caps and punctuation

I need to change the subscribe button text and also this “Oh bother! No forums were found here!”

I have tried adding the feedback-no-forums.php to /mytheme/bbpress/ but its not overwriting the defaul and I can find now way to change the subscribe text.

Any ideas?

[bsilverop]

Having the same issue here. I just enabled SMTP Postman to fix problems with mail being marked spam or not delivered at all. It works great, but now all bbPress emails that used to work fine are being sent to “noreply@mydomain.com”. I don’t mind a bounce email, but they’re not being delivered to the actual users. Just a single email is being generated with noreply@mydomain.com in the To field and nothing else.

[Robin W]

which theme are you using?

Have you tried the two methods in 3

and looked at no. 8 in the same bit

[samuel-guzman]

I just installed bbpress on a brand new site. I have created a couple of test forums and topics. On the forum root it shows that there are topics and posts in the forums. However, when I click on a specific forum to view the topics, I get the following message: “Oh bother! No topics were found here!”

By way of troubleshooting, I tried another WordPress theme. It worked, and the forums displayed as they should. Is there a way I can keep my current WordPress theme from conflicting with bbpress? I have no idea what is causing the conflict, only that it is being caused by the theme I am using. I don’t want to change themes, either.

[Robin W]

bbpress works with a default theme.

If you have done a fresh install to a default theme with no other plugins, then it should work.

Beyond that I cannot help further – sorry

[jethron5000]

Hi,

I’m writing in to check on a conflict that surfaced when I installed both News SEO & BBPress plugins. Apparently the message “Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in /home/(url name)/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php on line 1446″ came out on the front and back end of the website. Can I check if the plugin has any effect on it?

Thanks!

I have a website where I need to keep some page visible just for some kind of users. So I have installe UAM User Admin Manager Plugin to my website. I have created a group of “special member” that can access everything. On every page or post I can setup the group “access”.
I can do the same with forum, topics and replies. But even if I select this option everythin is always visible to everyone. I cannot understand why. Can you help me please?

here you can see the forum in my website

Forum ALAO

and here a page for a restricted special member

Thank you!

[Robin W]

ok, I’d suggest you start again.

Delete the bbpress database by :

Dashboard>tools>forums>reset forums

then deactivate and delete the plugin

Then reinstall

[mmice]

Raw SQL, yep.
Here it goes:

EDIT: SQL code is now here https://gist.github.com/anonymous/8d1cb71e69d52ac69f5d

That’s not all, – i still have to implement a karma system to bbpress and also import it, and still have to import private messages. If you will be so kind to point me, what i’ve missed (and that cause error i’ve been experiencing), i appreciate it so much )

[oyeben6]

Yes. i use a new bbpress installation (2.5.7)

[Chezzer]

Thanks, this definitely helps get me on the right path. Since I am just removing the form to make new topics on the one forum, I don’t even need to worry about user permissions, I can block it for even the keymaster since I am using the bbPress Topics for Posts plugin which I have set to automatically make a news topic when I post a new blog post to the main page, which is all I need.

I am still running into issues though. bbp_is_single_forum() doesn’t seem to take any arguments. I started looking at other possibilities and found the bbp_forum_title() function which returns “News” or whatever the name of my forum is, but it seems to only print it to screen and not give it to me in anyway I can actually do a string compare. Same thing with bbp_forum_id(). bbp_form_forum_title() and other things I’ve tried seem to return nothing. I’ve tried using strip_tags and trim but it still just prints to screen and ignores my if statement.

This would be an ideal solution if I could just get the title string and do a string compare against “News” which then hide the form. I’m pretty new to php. I’ve got quite a bit of programming experience in other languages though, esp Java. So It’s likely I am just making a simple mistake with syntax or something.

Thanks again. I’ll keep experimenting and see if I can figure out anything.

[Robin W]

is this a new bbpress installation?

@jbeagley

Make sure to wrap code with the code button on bbpress.org

I checked your custom CSS on your site.

Sometimes CSS after a CSS statement is not complete will not work.

For example make sure all of your statements have the

#selector .selector  { <-- make sure you have this on all of your CSS statements
property: value;
} <-- make sure you have this on all of your CSS statements.

[Robin W]

ok, so with all plugins except bppress deactivated, and a default theme such as twentyten you cannot create new topics at the front end – yes?

If so is this a new bbpress installation?

[jbeagley]

I have had no problem editing the appearance of the forum until I tried to change the background color of the current navigation link on the user details page… its the list of link including profile, topics started, replies created, etc…

I have been editing it with the ‘custom css’ feature of my theme… this is what I added

#bbpress-forums #bbp-single-user-details #bbp-user-navigation li.current a {
background-color: #12681A;
}

I grabbed that code from the ‘inspector’ tool using F12 in my browser… just changed the color code… but is not affecting the page…

any suggestions why this particular element isn’t being affected?
