Hello all,

I’ve a problem with users trying to login on bbpress when using chrome.
They enter their username and password and then the pages refreshes and they are not logged in.
If I try this with a test account on IE it does work normally
I’m at a loss here.

WP version is 4.1.1 and BBpress is 2.5.6
The same thing happens if I use a different theme (Bundled one)
Here’s a link to the site : http://www.animosityonlinegaming.com/

Can anyone point me in the right direction??

Thanks it is fixed.

I used patch below for bbPress: Version 2.5.6

// Get the activity stream item, bail if it doesn't exist
$existing = bp_activity_get_specific( array( 'activity_ids' => $activity_id, 'show_hidden' => true, 'spam' => 'all', ) ); 
if ( empty( $existing['total'] ) || ( 1 !== (int) $existing['total'] ) ) { 
$existing = new BP_Activity_Activity( $activity_id ); 
if ( empty( $existing->component ) )
return null; 
}

How on earth do i change the color of the “create new topic” background. it is the same as my site’s background and is very hard to see. Any suggestions?

Check out bbp user online status (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-user-online-status/) a plugin I recent wrote to add online/offline statues to bbpress topics/replies.

[John James Jacoby]

Check in bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-search.php

bbPress employs some “theme compatibility” magic to insert itself into your existing WordPress theme, and that directory is where those template parts live to try and fill in the gaps

Hi!
PLease, help me to fix this!

I don’t understand: bbpress in my site uses template page.php. In this template we have:
<?php get_template_part('inc/page-title'); ?>.
In /inc/page-title.php we have:
<?php elseif ( is_page() ): ?><h2><?php echo alx_page_title(); ?></h2>

But in http://muzl.it/forums/ we have title
<div class="page-title pad group"><h2>Темы</h2></div>
and in http://muzl.it/forums/topic/lorem-ipsum/ we haven’t title:
<div class="page-title pad group"><ul class="meta-single group"><li class="category"></div>

How to fix it?

I’m building what while be a discussion board style website. I will embed a single forum through a shortcode in each/every post.

This will allow standard WordPress navigation and give each forum its own post/page.

I will not allow users access to any part of the natural bbpress forum hierarchy (categories/forums/subforums/etc.) and will use redirects to ensure that all requests for specific forums end up on the appropriate post/page that uses the embedded shortcode.

My question: Without the need to query numerous (potentially hundreds) of individual forums through traditional forum navigation, do I still need to spread the forums out among multiple categories/sub-categories when building the forums on the backend.

Remember, no user will ever need, nor get, access to the forum hierarchy/structure. ALL forums links will redirect to the appropriate post.

Having to create a needlessly complex hierarchy/structure is daunting and would make a mess for moderators to dig through.

Just curious. Appreciate any guidance in this matter.

Thanks,
Chad Schulz

I’m extending an existing WordPress theme with bbpress functionality. I’ve gotten everything up and running except I can’t seem to find the base template for search results to customize everything AROUND the BBPress search results code. It looks like by default it’s pulling from page.php or single.php, but I would like to use a more specific template for it. I’m not seeing anything in Extras that fits the bill.

OK, I made a folder named bbpress in wp-content > my selected theme folder and copied the file there. Still nothing changed. Am I not understanding the child theme concept? Sorry, I’m a beginner. Thanks

[Robkk]

copy the original file from the plugin and copy it to your child theme.

the file should be like this in your child theme

wp-content > themes > (your child theme name) > bbpress

[goclones]

Thanks. I replace the code with what you suggested and I don’t see any changes. Although the file is in the bbpress > templates > defauly > bbpress folder. Is that where it should be?

[Robkk]

oh i forgot , it should be in loop-single-topic.php

copy that into a child theme and put it in a folder called bbpress

[Stagger Lee]

Take rest with CSS. Dont know how it looks.

Small warning. If your forum is not visited well it could look amateurish. You will have post after post, after post, avatar of one and same User/Topic author.

Same situation is if you use automatic bbPress topic from WordPress Posts.

Making bigger avatars can make things worse if you dont have many Users. For instance another tweak “last commenter avatar”. I tried all this, and if you have just one User who like to comments more than other Users, it looks boring to see enlarged avatar of this User on whole screen everywhere.

I mean easier to take it if avatar is few pixels big.

@andrew55

I’m still hungup on getting the overflow figured out.

link to your site and i could help with that.

It appears they have the avatar somehow wrapped in a span, and the span has the overflow assigned to it.

i dont think you need a span for it , i could add it into the code but im sure it will be fine with just a float:left;

@stagger-lee

what is that ? Is that bbPress forum ?

that was not a bbPress forum, its something else.

[Stagger Lee]

@lanhuong11022, what is that ? Is that bbPress forum ?

[andrew55]

Thank you robkk and lanhuong11022. I’m new to bbPress and appreciate the help getting started. The theme files are completely new to me, so it’s been fun trying to figure out everything.

I was able to get the avatar larger. I’m still hungup on getting the overflow figured out.

http://camaushop.net/ is a great start. It appears they have the avatar somehow wrapped in a span, and the span has the overflow assigned to it.

I’m not asking anyone to hold my hand, but if I was to attempt to add a span around those forum icons, any suggestions on what theme file I might start experimenting with?

Thanks for any suggestions.

[Stagger Lee]

You can use same function for bbPress part, I believe. It is up to you where do you want to adapt it.

Or maybe “is_user_logged_in()”:

[alanr1954]

Thanks to JJJ’s excellent plugin, I can now do what the basic bbPress said it would do, so that ‘spectators’ can read but not post to private forums. However, is there any way that I can set this as the default option, so that I don’t have to carefully edit the permission on every single user who subscribes?
Thanks
Alan

[wenlujon]

thanks, the forum is not centralized when i use #bbpress-forums to widen the forum.how to centralize it?

[Robkk]

i think that is loop-single-reply.php

copy that into your child theme in a folder called bbPress before you make any changes to it.

[Stagger Lee]

Move all this to another topic, to not ruin this.

members-loop-php (BuddyPress)

member-header.php (BuddyPress)

Cannot make links clickable. Great advertising for bbPress forum script.

[Stagger Lee]

functions.php:

/**
* webdeveloperswall.com/buddypress/check-if-a-user-is-online
**/
function is_user_online($user_id, $time=5){
	global $wp, $wpdb;
	
	$user_login = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "
SELECT u.user_login FROM $wpdb->users u JOIN $wpdb->usermeta um ON um.user_id = u.ID
WHERE u.ID = $user_id
AND um.meta_key = 'last_activity'
AND DATE_ADD( um.meta_value, INTERVAL $time MINUTE ) >= UTC_TIMESTAMP()
" ,APP_POST_TYPE
));
	if(isset($user_login) && $user_login !=""){
		return true;
	}
	else {return false;}
}

pastebin.com/hEfRfKGe
members-loop-php (BuddyPress)

pastebin.com/9AyQJHBe
member-header.php (BuddyPress)

Probably the same process for bbPress alone. Cannot ruin now all to test it.
Font Awesome needs to be activated for frontend. Or more easy, activate Dashicons for frontend and use some other SVG icon.

Some CSS:

.bp-user #buddypress .online .fa-wifi {
	color:green; 
	font-size:22px;
}
.bp-user #buddypress .offline .fa-wifi {
	color:#cf4d35; 
	font-size:22px;
}
.bp-user #buddypress .online, 
.bp-user #buddypress .offline {display:inline-block; text-align:right;float:right;}
.members #buddypress .online-list .fa-wifi {color:green; font-size:15px;}
.members #buddypress .offline-list .fa-wifi {color:#cf4d35; font-size:15px;}

#buddypress .online-list,
#buddypress .offline-list,
#buddypress .offline,
#buddypress .online {font-size:12px;}

Thanks Robkk, this is very good advice.

I hope WP Ulike will support BBpress soon , though.
