suggest you raise a trac ticket

i think its custom code that bbpress.org has, but basically its a customized WordPress Admin bar

[krazen]

For the record: it’s bbPress 2.5.4 with WP 4.1

[krazen]

Hello!

I’ve stumbled across that problem today. Let’s say I make a forum of ID 65 private in bbPress’ settings.

Then, somewhere in my template I’m using get_posts to pull some custom post type content which has nothing to do with the forums. When there is no user with sufficient privileges logged in, bbPress adds following SQL to my query:
... INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON ( wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id ) ...
and

... AND ( 
  ( wp_postmeta.meta_key = '_bbp_forum_id' AND CAST(wp_postmeta.meta_value AS SIGNED) != '65' )
) ... 

which always ends up breaking my query, since the posts I’m querying for do not have meta_key entries of ‘_bbp_forum_id’.

I’ve switched the plugin off temporarily, but that doesn’t solve the problem for good.

something like

function rew_max_shown ($args) {
$args['max_num_pages'] = 2 ;
return $args ;
}

add_filter ('bbp_before_has_topics_parse_args', 'rew_max_shown') ; 

in your functions file

use the shortcodes

here is the one for the new topic form

[bbp-topic-form]

[Robkk]

give me your theme name

I have tried using all of the bolded .php page options as well as copying the single.php into the bbpress plug in php page.

to me this sounds like your not doing it right

follow this guide

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

and this too

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

it could also 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.

[Robkk]

the bbpress.org editor is what bbpress has by default you can activate the editor in settings>forums.

other than that you can see what is causing these weird issues .

[salki]

can i create web site like stackoverflow.com with bbpress?
and the users can choose best answer?

[Robkk]

i think it might be content-single-user.php in the bbPress templates …im not sure how customizing this file will translate into the BuddyPress menus though.

[Robkk]

when theme developers say their theme is “bbPress ready”

it usually means they followed this guide https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

Are there special features included in bbPress ready themes, if so what are the features called?

There could showing post count below the author avatar but you can easily do that by installing Robins plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-topic-count/.

I have seen some themes have applied styling to some unread posts plugin , but really nothing too crazy that you cant get with free plugins and doing it manually without causing a hard time developing.

[Robkk]

@jmeyer2485

bbpress.org adds that background color around the forum name using this CSS code.

#bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta .bbp-topic-started-in a {
background-color: #328C00;
}

of course you can only see it on super-sticky topics and also when your forum root is showing topics by freshness

[Robkk]

@zvonfeng

are you using pieces of this theme https://github.com/syamilmj/Supportte

or did your theme come with that kind of forum layout??

because it says you need to install the search everything plugin for the search bar to appear.

and also i see breadcrumbs by the title.

other than that if you did take parts of the Supportte theme it would be harder to customize than the default bbPress theme.

[jkrytus]

It appears that I may have this issue. I am trying to set up bbPress for the first time and am being told that I do not have permission to set up a new forum.

My temp site that I am roughing in is m.sqrft.net I have a theory that is related to this thread. This site was copied from http://www.sqrft.net where it had a plugin called “Admin username changer”. One of the first things that I did after the copy was deleted that plugin. When I got this error message and read this thread, my first thought was that maybe deleting it wasn’t enough. Perhaps there was still some embedded something in there someplace. I reinstalled the plugin then used it to change my admin password to admin again then deactivated the plugin.

It still doesn’t work 🙁

Forum

Whenever I try to create a reply I get this message “Reply cannot be empty”.
Obviously the reply isn’t empty at all.
I cannot assume that something this crucial for a forum wouldn’t work, so what am I doing wrong?

hi Jacob, first of all, P2Breathe is a boring theme, and all those functions are common to install to any bbpress forum.

I would love to see a link to your slowed down website, just to have a look.

I disagree with your initial statements about bbpress not being mature forum software, Vbulletin and IPBoard are both main competitors, but bloated and full of extra functions most forums do not use/need, slowing them down just as much as some plugins can do to bbpress.

BBPress does exactly what they do, and perhaps even more thanks to the wordpress platform and the 1000’s of people on forums developing more every day, ofcourse most plugins are crap (sorry dev’s) just like anything that comes mass produced, but following tips and hints from other users should guide you through the swamp to find the real gems there are available.

For me BBPress is becoming more and more the forum choice by default.

And you mentioned Disquss, so no need to have bbpress concentrate on comments for wordpress since there is already a very good alternative.

Peace

When my user register to use our BBPRESS I would like them to be forwarded to another-
THIS is where they register
http://www.svendborgjudo.dk/tilmeld-dig-vores-sniksnak/

But then they are forwarded to THIS page, upon registrating?!?!
http://www.svendborgjudo.dk/wp-login.php?checkemail=registered

Can I create my own

“You have registered to … please chek your email.”

[Adri Oosterwijk]

Below the reaction I got from WPML.
Forgive me but for me it is unthinkable that the most used forum plugin on the net 1,7 million downloads is still not WPML compatible.

Are you taken actions to WPML to persuade them to shift gear on it?
Here is the WPML reaction:

——————————-

Hello Adri

Thank you for the Debug infos.

Unfortunately I can not provide solutions for bbPress in use with WPML and WooCommerce by now.
The Bridge Plugin isn’t supported at current time.

Our DEV Team is working on a solution, but this will take time.

For now the bbPress Plugin is considered as not compatible with WPML and also not compatible with WooCommerce Multilingual.

I am happy you found a kind of workaround, though I assume you could encounter more issues later on using this plugin at current status of things.

Regarding your last question, please refer to this DOC:

Automatic Redirect Based on Browser Language

The WPML Language Redirection based on browser language will “work” every 24 hours, unless you clean your cache of the browser.

This is because if you take as example a visitor that has EN as browser language,
but he wants to see your site in DE,
he would not be able to see your DE site if WPML would ALWAYS redirect to the browser language.

So WPML does only redirect the user once, and that cookie expires 24 hours after, or of course if you clean the browsers cache.

I apologize that I can’t help much regarding the bbPress issues.

It is in the ToDo list of the DEV Team.

Thank you

Thank you, I found here the solution! 🙂

sorry no definition of ‘bbPress ready themes’ it simply means that the author has written ‘bbPress ready themes’ on his blurb.

Usually means that the theme has been tested with bbpress and recognises it in the theme page files.

Many themes work well with bbpress, some are too ‘clever’ and don’t play well.

come back if you need further help

[Robin W]

you should have breadcrumbs and searchbar by default

for searchbar look in

dashboard<settings>forums>forum features and make sure that ‘search’ is ticked.

Your theme can prevent breadcrumbs from showing, as can other plugins

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

[Robin W]

hmm not sure if that’s buddypress or bbpress.

can you post a link/url to the page that has the forums link

[Robin W]

This is the ‘(bbpress) recent topics’ widget?

and you have it set with topics with recent relies – yes?

That widget doesn’t allow for the reply author.

It could be copied to a functions file, renamed and then edited to do so. If you are reasonable with coding, I will explain further.
