I can’t seem to get my translation to work since updating to 2.5.6.

Wordpress version: 4.1.1
Site language: da_DK

The forum changed to english after updating BBpress. Before that, it worked fine in Danish language.

I’ve tried uploaded bbpress-da_DK.po and bbpress-da_DK.mo til both /wp-content/languages/bbpress and /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-languages but it still doesn’t work on frontend and backend.

My wp-config.php is set to da_DK.

I’ve also tried to deactivate some of the latest plugins i’ve installed but it doesn’t do it.

Hope someone can help me solve this.

Hello!
I’ve been reading all the topics on the forum and i found many similar issues to my problem, but now solution worked. I disabled all plugins and tried it with default theme also.
When someone subscribes(or creates a topic) to a topic or forum and then someone replys to it, no emails are being sent out to the guy who subscribed. Im using buddypress and bbpress newest version, and buddypress emails-like register, private message etc working, but noone of bbpress related emails are being sent out. I’m using WP SMTP now(before i was using WP MAIL SMTP, but then someone in this forum said if he changed to WP SMTP plugin it started sending, but didnt help for me), and test emails are being sent correctly also.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Daniel

that is entirely intentional – it lets keymasters see IP addresses to spot people who might post under several names.

you could hide it with css

.bbp-reply-ip {
display : none !important ;
}

or amend line 512 of loop-single-reply

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

then take out line 51 – you may also need to do this to loop-single-topic

or use a filter to get rid of it

function remove_ip () {
$author_ip = '' ;
return $author_ip ;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_get_author_ip', 'remove_ip');

I’m logged in as a Keymaster and when posting in my forums, my IP address is very strange. I don’t think anyone else sees this other other other Keymasters but still, it’s a little annoying when posting and seeing it all the time. See link for screenshot of what I’m talking about:

Please help, I can’t seem to figure it out. Thanks!

I wanted to upgrade my bbPress 1.2 to the actual one. (I have last WordPress 4.1.1 with new bbPress plugin)

I tried on a WAMP (localhost) installation, and I never got more than 1500 topics imported.
The classic case just hang on “Converting topics (900 – 999)”

And when I look into the apache_error.log, I see that apache crashes and restart alone.
And I tried with apache 2.4.2 and 2.4.9

I tried to click “stop” and again “start” as I read on this forum. But I get hung with “Starting Conversion” and apache restarts also. I just can see that the import process did a small step more by typing the sql query :”select count(*) from wp_bbp_converter_translator”

in this topic, “e-motion” succeeded. He just clean install wordpress, and import…

Am I missing something ?

Thanks, that is very helpful, but it change roles globally. I need it for a specific forum.

• is possible call these actions to an existing role?
• and is possible call them only for a specific forum

I tried this but seems not work…. :/

// BBPRESS ROLES CONFIG FOR SPECIFIC FORUM

if ( bbp_forum_title(); == "My Forum Title" ) {

	function add_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role )

    	if( $role == 'participant' )
        	$caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
 
	    return $caps;
	}
 
	add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'add_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );
 
	function custom_capabilities( $role )

Hi – I installed bbpress, thinking about adding forum. Changed mind. Deleted plug in, but now I can’t access wordpress admin. Error message upon log in attempts reads “you do not have sufficient permissions…”. If I reinstall/activate bbpress, I can log into my site as normal. Please help, I need the plug in removed. Have a great day and thank you in advance.

Hello,

My site http://www.walthamforestforum.org is coming together OK. I’m using the 2014 theme. However I’ve got a couple of things I am stuck on and wondered if anyone could help me.

A – I would like new users to be able to register themselves, but with more detail than the standard sign up form allows, i.e. a few custom fields (that will hopefully show up everytime they post) and a recaptcha field. The Profile Builder plug in looks quite good but a bit expensive I think for such a simple requirement. Do some themes have better register pages built in?

A – I’m not too keen on the narrow width of the forums, Could anyone recommend some themes that work well with bbpress on different platforms to maximise available width of display?

[thesocialrefugee]

WordPress version: 4.1.1
bbPress version: 2.5.4

Looking to have the forum profile displayed within the “Forum Account” tab.

Additionally will like to modify the link of when a user clicks his own name/avatar to view his profile to lead it to this page.

Thank you.

After I update BBPress I got an error.
Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in /home4/my website/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php on line 1446

Please help to solv. I have no coding knowlage.

[sina_mech]

Thank you for your reply. I have “bbpress” folder in MY_THEME folder. I added a functions.php file in that bbpress folder, and inserted your code, and saved. but nothing happened 🙁 Am I doing it right?

[Matoca]

I want to prevent “anyone” writing a topic or reply in the forum from posting any links. Period. I am flummoxed that I can only find one topic on this in bbPress or WP and that topic is almost 5 years old.

I do not require users to register to create topics and make replies and I would like to keep it that way. However, I don’t want to allow anyone to be able to write HTML or post links to “anything” in the forum. If it has to include moderators, even me, that’s fine.

Lately unregistered users have been able to post links to images within their topic or reply that takes users to another website or they are able to post links to image websites in a way that the images are embedded in the reply, without the image being manipulated. One image was so large that all that displayed was an ankle!

I have a plugin in the forum sidebar for users to upload images to a gallery where the images are checked for needing approval. From the dashboard I can edit and size the image and then insert them into the topics and replies. The moderators also know how to do this. This has worked well.

I am leery of links to inappropriate websites and I need to stop this now. Does anyone know how to set bbPress or WP to ban links or is there a plugin that does this?
Thank you, Matoca

@casnbug

ok if you think its just bbPress maybe your bbPress installation had some issues??

try uninstalling the bbPress plugin then re-install it.

[casnbug]

@Robkk
Sorry, but I disagree. It may be that the theme is not hiding the warning like the default wordpress theme, but the error is definitely coming from the bbpress plugin.

If your site is that busy, you really should have a test site

Hi there!

We’re trying to move our forums from a custom Q&A platform to bbPress… very glad there is now an importer! 🙂

So I copied example.php to myimport.php, changed the class name, and updated the tables/columns that apply (the ones that exist in the old database).

And ran the import…

But I keep running into import errors for fields that don’t apply as they don’t exist in the other database, like forums_table.the_reply_count

So for a field that just does not exist in the old database, what’s the proper syntax for “ignore this”? 🙂

For example, this one…

// Forum topic count (Stored in postmeta)
		$this->field_map[] = array(
			'from_tablename' => 'forums_table',
			'from_fieldname' => 'the_topic_count',
			'to_type'        => 'forum',
			'to_fieldname'   => '_bbp_topic_count'
		);

I looked for this on the importer codex page, but just don’t see it. 🙂

Thanks!
Dan

I recently moved our bbPress installation from one folder to another. Everything seemed to go well, accept when I loggged in, my admin account lost all admin privileges.

Fortunately, I have another second test bbPress installation and could see what admin status looks like in phpmyadmin.

So, in the first installation, using phpmyadmin, in the metavalue of the wp_usermeta table, I changed:

a:2:{s:10:"subscriber";i:1;s:15:"bbp_participant";b:1;}

to…

a:2:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;s:13:"bbp_keymaster";b:1;}

It seems to work. My admin account has admin privileges.

Now I understand the administrator and bbp_keymaster in the string, but what about the rest of the characters? For example, I changed s:10 to s:13.

Is this OK?

I’m just not sure what these other characters mean and what they need to be.

Thanks for any help.

[Robkk]

I tried modifying User Roles and Capabilities from functions.bb-capabilities.php, so that all the users can have same capabilities as keymaster

that sounds dangerous, don’t do that

see if this helps, follow all the links on the page too, and see if you set it up correctly.

Forum Networks

[sndstrm]

I already coded a private bbPress Plugin, that extends it to something like Mailman.
It just periodically catches mails to @forum.domain.tld via IMAP and adds a new reply to the topic with the Mail content (quotation skipped).
The notification is tweaked: the Reply-To header is replaced by reply-[topic-id]@forum.domain.tld, so the user can easily reply to the topic. But this is currently done by completely replacing the bbp_notify_topic_subscribers function with my own one (including the original content, just replacing the Reply-To).
All calls to bbp_subscription_mail_headers and bbp_subscription_from_email or bbp_subscription_to_email are just called with $headers or the address itself. As of 1.5.6 the Reply-To is no longer set by bbPress.

Will there be a way to include the topic-id (preferred in header altering) in upcoming releases? Or maybe a solution by bbPress itself to respond to notification Mails?

[xenous]

you can configure the noreply email simply with:

add_filter('bbp_get_do_not_reply_address','my_bbp_no_reply_email');
function no_reply_email(){
    $email = 'noreply@yourdomain.com';
    return $email;
}

bbPress uses BCC for sending subscription emails and the noreply email is used as to field. This is for better hardware (cpu and memory) usage as if you were to loop each user subscribed to content it would be troublesome.
you can change that default to email address as well with :

add_filter('bbp_subscription_to_email','my_bbp_subscription_to_email');
function my_bbp_subscription_to_email(){
    $email = 'noreply@yourdomain.com'; // any email you want
    return $email;
}

I hope this helps.

Hi all,

Having an issue with bbPress Pagination, unfortunately it seems it has broken. Every single post is dumped onto the same page within actual topics.

It (seems) to be working with categories, as I can do /category/forum/page/2/ and it will tell me there is no content, however, when doing that within a topic it just shows everything.

No pagination links are being drawn at the bottom of the page either.

My pagination-replies.php file is identical to that of which is provided in the templates folder.

I was hoping to put my site live tonight and right at the last hurdle, it doesn’t seem it’s happening. 🙁 I am essentially looking for people to go over the basics to make sure I haven’t missed anything that would cause this to happen, so please.. do help! 😛

edit: so I have just activated the twenty-fourteen theme to see if I had broken it in my theme, and it is exactly the same there too. What have I done? 🙁

edit2: I have resaved permalinks, ran all of the forum tools – still the same.
