Hi everyone

I am having a lot of trouble getting bbPress to work with my WordPress site that is using the Warp7 framework from yootheme.

Some views work fine, like the main forum view, adding topics and replies but there are some that don’t give any content back like when you click on an author’s name, and others that look a bit messed up like when you look at the list of all forums.

The site is live but this page is not in the menus yet, feel free to have a look if that helps:

http://www.aida.org.au/forum-test/topic/welcome-to-the-aida-members-forum/

I know that the Warp7 framework does things in a bit of a non-traditional way, but I am hoping that someone can help me get these two to play nicely together!

Thanks in advance

Hello!

I seems a little bit strange but my searches of a responsive bbpress-theme with very nice design that is available for buying were useless, I couldn`t find any. Who knows any sites or online-strores where a person like me can buy a responsive bbpress-theme to avoid very long adjustment from the scraps.

Thanks!

Well, false alarm. I have set up 2.6 alpha-version of Bbpress. I fixes all the possible problems. Thanks!

Hello!

Until recently I have got no problems but when I upgraded my WordPress to 4.2 version and my Bbpress to 2.5.7 version all the topics disappeared. I`ve got them on my dashboard, but when I try to find them in the user mode I fail. It is written that no topic has been created yet. How to fix this problem, who knows? Is there any way to do that without waiting for some patches? Well, the way to do that with help of shiftback to the older version of WP is not the right one, because other plugins on my site require it.

Thanks for you possible help!

Also in form-reply.php & form-topic.php template files (around line 68ish) you need to insert the following code. i would recommend setting up template overrides for this

<?php if ( bbp_allow_topic_tags() && current_user_can( 'assign_topic_tags' ) ) : ?>

        <?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_form_tags' ); ?>
        <p>
            <label for="bbp_topic_tags"><?php _e( 'Tags:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
            <?php  echo displayTagElements(bbp_get_form_topic_tags(), bbp_get_user_role(get_current_user_id()), 'edit'); ?>
        </p>

        <?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_form_tags' ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

Hi everyone,

I’m building a website for my church and have installed bbpress and buddy press so that I can make the forum section.

The problem I’m having is.. one of the forum section is a secret prayer section where people can post their subject and ask for church members to pray for them.

This section needs to be anonymous so that nobody knows who posted the post but can help pray for them.

So, my question is.. is it possible for me to make this “prayer forum” to be anonymous?

Thank you for your support!! =)

I’m relatively new to bbpress, but have read as much as possible so to not look stupid. 🙂

I’m wondering if this is expected behavior.

I have a (private) Category with (private) Forums which is set as a Group Forum in conjunction with BuddyPress.

Users who have the capabilities to Read Private Forums/Topics/Replies can NOT see any of the Topics or Replies in any of the Private forums, UNLESS I either: a) add the ‘Read Hidden’ capability, or b) change the forum to be ‘Public.’

Neither of those are strategies I’d want to employ.

I also use the PMPro plugin and their bbpress addon, which I *could* use to allow the Forums to be ‘Public’, but locked down to non-Members, but I’m not sure if that’s the best route either?

Am I missing something on how best to have Private Forums under a Category in bbpress?

Appreciate any guidance or pointing me in a direction to resolve.

Thanks.

Hello All,

When I used the bbpress forum user information always shows on the left like following;

-ID
-Participant
-04/25/2015 at 2:11 PM
-Post count: 4

I want to hide post count and change date & time format.

How can I do this ?

Please help~

I need some help. I am trying to manually insert a topic into a forum. I’m doing from a different blog on the network however so I’m assuming I can’t use BBPRESSS functions to do so. anyway the code I have so far looks like this

 switch_to_blog(LP_SCHOOL_BLOG);

    	// Forum
	$reply_data = array(
		'post_parent'    => 0, // topic ID
		'post_status'    => 'publish',
		'post_type'      => 'topic',
		'post_author'    => $current_user->ID,
		'post_password'  => '',
		'post_content'   => $post_content,
		'post_title'     => "New Resource: " . $post->post_title,
		'menu_order'     => 0,
		'comment_status' => 'closed'
	);

	// Insert reply
	$reply_id   = wp_insert_post( $reply_data );

        update_post_meta( $reply_id, '_bbp_author_ip' , get_user_ip() );
        update_post_meta( $reply_id, '_bbp_forum_id' , 2231 );
        update_post_meta( $reply_id, '_bbp_topic_id' , 0);
//        update_post_meta( $reply_id, '_bbp_topic_id', (int) $topic_id );
        restore_current_blog();

This code is correctly posting a topic. I can see the topic at the back end, and it looks exactly like any other topic, from the back end, but it is not appearing in the forum listing at the front end.Is there some additional bit of meta data that I have to insert? to get it to show up at the front end?

TIA

it should be by default , you probably installed a plugin that caused this issue or you messed with some users capabilities.

follow the basic troubleshooting in this topic

Before Posting

[Robkk]

@tonycntr

you could remove some capabilities from some user roles

https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/

this guide will help find the user capabilies ( what they do is self explanatory)

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

as for a membership plugin s2 member and pmpPRO (its free) with its bbPress addon should be two good candidates.

[Robkk]

please read these two guides first , and hopefully they will help you

@mentions are not from bbPress , i assume you also have BuddyPress installed??

go to their support

@kellygree

but when I try to register it direct me to my wordpress login page

ive looked into this and its normal, its because the register form functionality isnt really finished

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2137

you can use the default WordPress registration pages if you want they are fine for user registration for all your users, and you could customize the default WordPress registration pages with some other plugins too.

if you want dedicated front-end forms use a plugin like this

https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-my-login/

our login shortcode [bbp-login] works fine though.

[kellygree]

I understand what u are saying, but that is not what I mean, what I mean is,i have bbpress on my site, I create a forum for students, but if they try to login to the forum, it direct them to the WordPress login screen http://studentalarm.org/wp-login.php , what can I do to change that, click here and see
I don’t want it to direct to the WordPress screen
I want it to stay on my site.
thanks

I found the culprit. I don’t know how I missed it before, but by default a registered user is added as a participant. This toggle was forcing me on the site, even when I removed myself.

I can hack the plugin and set that as false by default. I’ll just need to remember to fix that every time the plugin updates, and I’ll need to let users know that they need to add a forum role to their users (which shouldn’t be a big deal).

Looks like I can do that on bbpress/includes/admin/settings/line 532 changing the true to false.

<input name="_bbp_allow_global_access" id="_bbp_allow_global_access" type="checkbox" value="1" <?php checked( bbp_allow_global_access( true ) ); bbp_maybe_admin_setting_disabled( '_bbp_allow_global_access' ); ?> />

I can understand why it’s set this way. It does make the plugin work “out of the box” in a way that users would otherwise need to sort through what is already a very intricate settings panel.

it seems bbpress uses user_nicename to mention (AT) users, how to modify the code to change it to mention users through display_name (I can make sure each user has a unique display_name during signup).

LS,

Since the last update of wordpress (4.1 -> 4.2) there are no more problems with my site.
I updated bbpress to 2.5.7 and it is working fine.

Thanks for your time and support

[OliverEggertsen]

It’s working again after updating both WordPress and BBPress again.

But thanks for the help guys.

[Robkk]

the post rating plugin in that topic is broken.

there are better alternatives of the plugins in that topic though

have a search here

Plugins

We also want to be able to add different categories and/or tags to each post.

your can put forums in categories, and topics can have tags already . Are you looking for something different??

[Robin W]

Not native, you may find some plugins eg

Introducing plugins for Quotes, Ratings and Unread Posts

[Flick]

Hey Robin,

Thanks for your quick response! After alot of debugging and going crazy it seems that Groups and bbPress do in fact get along very well!

The issue was mod_security on the server and the hosts fixed it! So we can mark another one as resolved! Thanks for replying anyway 🙂

1. Create folder bbpress-permalinks-with-id in wp-content/plugins dir.
2. Download 1.0.3 version github . com / korobochkin/bbpress-permalinks-with-id/releases/tag/v1.0.3 (remove spaces bbPress forum doesn’t allow publish links)
3. Unpack archive.
4. Put plugin folder content into the bbpress-permalinks-with-id.
5. Activate plugin.
6. Flush rules by visiting /wp-admin/options-permalink.php page.

And after this in all bbpress permalinks for topics and forums will be using ID’s instead of slugs.
