Okay, so I tried to modify the function, to merge the two and that didn’t work, so I have a few questions:

From this:

add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );

add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names' );

To this:
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names' 1 );

But that didn’t work at all, wound up immediately getting an error.

Should I perhaps be placing the renaming of the base three roles, before the creation of the new four roles? The filter for the creation of the roles comes after all of them are created but the filter for the role name change comes before the changes, so I wonder if the two filters would still conflict if I moved them around?

These are really newbie questions, I know, but I am not 100% sure as to how to change these to work in tandem.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

WordPress 4.1.1 running Divi Child Theme theme.
BBPress Version 2.5.4
http://oxfordukchapter.co.uk
We have the above version of BBpress and when the members use the forum they leave lines between their posts

as so

and then the post will not show when you close the lines up everything is visible.
Thanks

Pretty strange one imho. I’ve been working on porting an existing site from phpbb
over to wordpress/bbpress. While going through a final test of the port I’ve come across the following problem. Namely when in forums where you can see the latest post (along side the forum name), the name of the latest post plus its time/date are totally incorrect, however the url actually links to the correct latest post.

See: wp.photographyireland.net/forums to see.

I’ve retried all the usual recalculates etc… I have tested the port in the past and didn’t have this issue. Can anyone advise or at worst provide me with a sql updates statement to correct?

I don’t want to do the port for real if I’m going to run into this again. Tbh I do find that the import from phpbb can be a tad bit flaky at time…

Cheers

Same problem for me as for@iamnotadoll :/ But rewriting .php just made my site blank.
BBpress 2.5.4 version tho

[Robkk]

@jaydd

was bbPress working fine for awhile then this error came out of nowhere??

did this error come after you imported forums into bbPress??

do you have a large number of topics/replies??

have you followed these two guides for developing your child theme for bbPress??

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

are your permalinks set to post-name??

also could you paste an example url of the original topic url and the url you get when you have a 404 error.

Update – I managed to get it to work and managed to change the name of the defaults, to make things easier.

This is the code in case anyone needs it for reference in the future:

/* bbPress Custom Roles */
function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
 
$bbp_roles['bbp_craftsman'] = array(
'name' => 'Craftsman',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['bbp_journeyman'] = array(
'name' => 'Journeyman',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['bbp_adept'] = array(
'name' => 'Adept',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['bbp_artisan'] = array(
'name' => 'Artisan',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() ) // the same capabilities as moderator
);
return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );
/* bbPress Custom Roles */

/* bbPress Custom Role Names */
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names' );

function ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names() {
	return array(

		// Keymaster - Advisor
		bbp_get_keymaster_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'Advisor',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() )
		),

		// Moderator - Moderator
		bbp_get_moderator_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'Councilman',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() )
		),

		// Participant - Apprentice
		bbp_get_participant_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'Apprentice',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
		),
	);
}

Hi everyone,

I’m working on creating some custom user roles and I was wondering if I could get assistance with it, because the code I modified kind of killed my site (so I took it out and it’s working fine again).

I’m running a guild website, so we have specific titles (in order from left to right for hierarchy):
Advisor (Keymaster) > Councilman (Moderator) > Artisan (Moderator) > Adept (Participant) > Journeyman (Participant) > Craftsman (Participant) > Apprentice (Participant)

I was trying to follow this guide: http://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/

/* bbPress Custom Roles */
function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
 
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role1'] = array(
'name' => 'Apprentice',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role2'] = array(
'name' => 'Craftsman',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role3'] = array(
'name' => 'Journeyman',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role4'] = array(
'name' => 'Adept',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role5'] = array(
'name' => 'Artisan',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() ) // the same capabilities as keymaster
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role6'] = array(
'name' => 'Councilman',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() ) // the same capabilities as keymaster
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role7'] = array(
'name' => 'Advisor',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() ) // the same capabilities as keymaster
);
return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );
/* bbPress Custom Roles */

Can someone tell me where I might have gone wrong?

Thanks in advance! 😀

ok, try

https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/

use

is_bbpress()where you want a widget displayed on bbpress pages and
!is_bbpress() where you don’t

Hello Robin
Thank you, but I could’nt find Settings>Permalinks page 🙁 I could’nt see permalinks settings in bbpress setting page 🙁 where can I change permaling structure and how can I change structure?

[peter-hamilton]

link not working…

Bu..yes bbpress is a plugin t make a forum, this is usually done on a seperate page called forums, you can even make a link in your menu to go to that page.

[peter-hamilton]

3. Buddypress allows more member profile functions, group creation with private forums and a facebook style activity wall, this is all added by Buddypress to the already existing forum only functions from BBpress.

They integrat by following the steps offered after instal, I always instal BBPress first.

If you want you can have a look a my site how they work together, I believe they should always be used in tandem.

Buddy/BB/Wordpress

4. If you create the categories and the forums, then members can only post topics in forums on hose categories by default.

2. You can change that text in form-reply.php, which means you need to make a bbpress template folder in your child theme.

1. I wish it was true.

Hope this helps.

Hi there,

I am wondering if it’s possible for me to have a separate page in my website for a forum using bbPress? If so, how can I install it? Here’s my website for better understanding.

Thanks

[zanderlise]

Created a sidebar with wwPress WP Tweaks, but can’t get it to display. I have added widgets, and tried selecting all the different pages in the “Default forum wrapper” section. It just won’t show up.

WP version 4.1.1
http://www.testambrosemediastore.com/forums/forum/forum-2/
Minamaze theme

In this theme, you have to select one layout for all static pages, and I have chosen a layout that is full page. You don’t get Template options while creating/editing a page. Is that causing the issue? It seems all of the other “sidebar” plugins I’ve tried simply replace an existing sidebar, they won’t add one. Is “bbPress WP Tweaks” the same, or can you add a sidebar to the forum page even if it doesn’t have a sidebar originally?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

bbPress for Millions of posts?

[Robin W]

ok,

1. not possible with bbpress as far as I know
2. only admin/keymasters get this priviledge
3. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
4. If I understand the question correctly, normal users – that is the default ie participants can create topics and replies, but not forums or categories. If you meant something different then come back

[davidwise011]

I want to use Bbpress for a forum on a new classifieds site, when entering site to advertise, the user must register, if they then decide to use the forum it appears that they must register again.

Is there any way that I can make it so that when they register to use the site, that registration will also allow them instant access to the forum, to register twice may be complicated, and will be confusing for some people

Hi,

I’d like to change the author link of every reply (actually it goes to user profile) :
– if the author is not anonymous, use the user_url
– else use the comment website url

So i have 2 questions :
– what’s the best way to change the author link ? editing users/template.php, using add_filter(‘bbp_get_author_link’) or something else ?
– how can i retrieve the comment url from anonymous poster ?

Thank you for your help

Keep up the good work, i like bbpress !

Greetings,

Good afternoon,

I’m superadmin in a bbpress forum and I wonder where could I see the list of all forum users. In the rest of WP I’m just a subscriber.

Thanks a lot,

1. I am looking to create a forum and put it on a couple websites. Each website also needs a specific section/separate forum for that site as well as the one that is across a couple of websites. Is this possible with bbpress?

2. I have this message at the bottom of my site “Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content.” From what I understand this is bad how do I change it?

3. How exactly does bbpress and buddypress work together and how do I integrate them?

4. Is there a way to only let people create topics in category’s?

Many thanks for you help.

[CompactaBT]

(At risk of this thread going off topic I should add that if, at this point, anybody’s thinking “if he’s hoping to use bbPress for that big a forum I hope he’s considered the problems he’ll have with [BLANK]”, please do jump in!)

[CompactaBT]

Hi there,

I have a large vBulletin forum (15,000 members / 20,000 topics / 3.5m posts) and I’m hoping to move it to bbPress.

As you might expect, the conversion is proving to be a lengthy process, and I’m hoping to keep disruption and downtime for users to a minimum.

Would the following work?

Close vBulletin forum
Export database
Re-open vBulletin but close registration
Convert to bbPress local installation (which’ll take a few days)
Once conversion’s taken place, quickly export only the new vBulletin topics and posts from the last few days, then import them to bbPress

I suppose my question is whether this is something the bbPress importer will be able to make sense of: if I try to import a database that only consists of new topics and replies, plus replies to topics it’s already imported, will everything work as hoped, and will those posts be mapped to the correct users?

Thanks in advance!

[Spedwards]

So I just installed bbPress (2.5.4) successfully after having buggy versions last week. Though I’m having a lot of issues this time. I’m using WordPress 4.1.1 and Twenty Fifteen as my theme.

I created a new forum which I called, “forum” and a topic called, “general”. When I go to view the forum, it takes me to /forums/forum/forum which I believe should be /forums/forum but I can’t go there without it redirecting me. /forums just redirects me as well.

Following the codex, I tried method two which involved using the shortcode. This works all fine until I clicked on the forum, which took me to /forums/forum/forum

My site is:

– method 1
– method 2

How can I fix this issue? Please don’t say disable plugins because I know for a fact, that isn’t the reason.

[peter-hamilton]

Or try playing around with his

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum, #bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.topic {
border-top: 1px solid #eee;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 8px;
float: left;
width: 20%;
}

This will give 5 rows, 10 would not fit any screen.
his idea you have might sound good, but it will cause lots of issues on different viewports/mobile

[Robkk]

troubleshoot to find if you can pinpoint the problem.

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
