ok, more drastic action required

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.

Sorry I’m running out of ideas beyond this … 🙂

@vikingpoker

I have another plugin user with this issue, which helps as it should get me quicker to a solution.

But can I also ask your help?

Could I please ask you to do 2 things (or any combination will help me)

1. Could you try version 1.2 – I’m not sure if the latest version 1.3 is an issue

Therefore could you go to http://www.rewweb.co.uk/bbp-style-pack-1-2/ and follow the instructions.

If this works, then let me know, as it will eliminate much of my code as the issue.

2. If you are able to could you :
a. Deactivate all plugins except bbpress and bbp style pack and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error when my plugin is also active.
b. If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then switch back to your normal theme and re-enable all plugins (except mine as this is causing the issue) and come back with the results

i want theme bbpress in pic

[peter-hamilton]

I agree with you there, and I am hoping to improve where they failed

in the mean time, a shot of the BBPress forum index

[Robin W]

It was quicker to code it than describe it.

Basically I’ve created a new widget called (rew) Login Widget

Copy all the below into your functions file

You’ll see that all it required was taking out the label, and putting ‘placeholder’ into the input line

I even changed lost password into forgot your password !

The go into widgets and you’ll see the new widget (rew) Login Widget

enjoy !

Its weird…I can change permissions for Posts and Pages and they come through instantly…its just with bbPress that I am noticing issues.

Tomorrow I may just have to remove bbPress and try re-installing it and see what happens. Anyway, I’ll check back here tomorrow first.

[Robin W]

Come back if you rae still having problems tomorrow, but the code you posted works with bbpress !

[crystalleeanne]

For some reason the forum wiped out my reply so here it is again:

I’m trying to get the bbPress login form to use input placeholder text so I can eliminate the old style labels that appear above the fields:

On the left, what I’m trying to achieve and how my theme styles forms (placeholder text set for input fields rather than text above each field).

On the right, the bbPress login widget styled similarly to the form on the right… just need to figure out how to write a function to set the placeholder text for these fields…hopefully.

I guess that makes sense…I took out http:

Hi Robin,

Thanks for your response, hopefully I can clear this up a little with some images.

My goal is to have my forums as a child page
//69.195.124.253/~ctwocndo/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/forums_child.jpg

With my Forums Root = forums
//69.195.124.253/~ctwocndo/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/root-forums.jpg

The breadcrumbs (both bbPress and WordPress) will show correctly
//69.195.124.253/~ctwocndo/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/correctBreadcrumb.jpg

The problem is that when I create a new forum, it will not take the “connect” parent page into consideration.
//69.195.124.253/~ctwocndo/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/BadForum.jpg

In order to fix this, I can modify the Forum root = “connect/forums”
//69.195.124.253/~ctwocndo/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/root-connect-forums.jpg

And that will fix the permalink of a new forum
//69.195.124.253/~ctwocndo/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Page31.jpg

But when I do that, the the breadcrumbs no longer work.
//69.195.124.253/~ctwocndo/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/brokenBreadcrumb.jpg
(I am sure the “Forums” in this image are truly the “connect/forum”)

So that where I kind of am.

I did see your recommendation, but wouldn’t that get wiped the next time I upgrade bbPress?

Again, thank you for your response.

Kind Regards,

Joe

Hmmm.. I’ve just spent some time playing with this code, and it’s not really working.

It is quoted in lots of sites inc http://gawainlynch.com/customising-dynamic-roles-in-bbpress-2-2/

But as far as I can see you get the member role, but the site default role capabilities – can’t work out why at the moment. What is you site default, and would that make sense?

Hello Everyone,

So I’ve been working to get some custom permissions setup for our site and are running into some issues…I’ve followed the document located here and in turn have added the following code to my functions.php file in my child theme:

//code to add members and board roles
 
function add_new_roles( $bbp_roles )
{
    /* Add a role called member */
    $bbp_roles['bbp_member'] = array(
        'name' => 'Member',
        'capabilities' => custom_capabilities( 'bbp_member' )
        );
 
    /* Add a role called board */
    $bbp_roles['bbp_board'] = array(
        'name' => 'Board Member',
        'capabilities' => custom_capabilities( 'bbp_board' )
        );
 
    return $bbp_roles;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_new_roles', 1 );

            break;
 
        default :
            return $role;
    }
}

The problem I am running into is that the bbp_member role can’t seem to read and private topics, even though I have that capability set to true…? The bbp_board role works just as expected and in playing with the bbp_member role it seems to come down to the “moderate” capability…which I really don’t want on for our regular members.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

I have the latest versions of WP, bbPress and BuddyPress installed.

Thank you

[Robin W]

Sorry, using css don’t know how to do that. As before it would I think involve a rewrite of the function bbp_reply_author_link

And lastly, how to modify the css so that I can display the role as its displayed here on this website, ie., role covered in a box.

just add

background-color : green ;

to your

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-author .bbp-author-role-admin,
 #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author .bbp-author-role-admin,
 #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author .bbp-author-role-admin { etc

code above

[–Q–Shadows]

No worries, you took time to even respond is good enough for me.

Anyways, I played a little bit with css and was able to color the forum roles by adding this is my css file –

‘#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-author .bbp-author-role-admin,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author .bbp-author-role-admin,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author .bbp-author-role-admin {
color:red;
font-size:14px;
font-family:lucida sans unicode, lucida grande, sans-serif;line-height:1;
} ‘
and different colors for different roles by adding the role name at the end (instead of admin).

Now the issue I am running into is with this –
‘ #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author a.bbp-author-name
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author a.bbp-author-name {
clear: left;
display: block;
color:red;
} ‘

Using this code I am able to change the color of Usernames too, but unfortunately its applied globally and am not much familiar with bbpress to know exactly how to make it role wise. Is there anything that can be added to the above code that would make it apply depending on the role of that author.

And lastly, how to modify the css so that I can display the role as its displayed here on this website, ie., role covered in a box.

Would really appreciate if you could at the very least guide me in a proper direction.

Cheers.

[Robin W]

No bbpress doesn’t need these, so if you have a backup of them, then yes they can be deleted.

[Springgg]

Well.. the site is still down… and I can only hope they are just punishing me for the “abuse” the wrong import produced, because I can not imagine the idea that bbPress is causing something worse than Mingle.
That said, could you please tell me whether bbPress needs these tables or I can delete them (they should be Mingle’s):

wp_forum_forums
wp_forum_groups
wp_forum_posts
wp_forum_threads
wp_forum_usergroup2user
wp_forum_usergroups

[Nicolas Korobochkin]

In my opinion your templates have to many extra details. Checkout my super tiny and cleanest bbPress forum http://selenaselena.ru/community/talks/

[Robin W]

You’d be filtering the function

bbp_get_breadcrumb

in

bbpress\includes\common\template.php

to put an extra link in

[peter-hamilton]

Okay, this topic gets me part of the way there…
Can someone please help me figure out how to modify this filter code to create placeholder text for the bbPress login form widget? (Username and Password fields).

Hello all,

I have been going through the threads and I am sure this has come up but I just cant find it…

I would like to have the forums in a child page but I cant seem to find any documentation on it.

Everything I see shows bbPress being used like this:
Home > forums…

But is it possible to do

Home > Page > forums…

I was partially successfully by changing the settings of forums root to “page\forums” and that made the “Create New Forums” work but the breadcrumbs ended up not working.

I guess before I get to deep into my troubleshooting I will just first ask the question if bbPress is absolutely required to be at the top level?

Yes, it has that shortcode.

a) I have no idea if it is sending – I havent set anything up email wise
b) I have tried my business email and personal email addresses and its not receiving on either
c) I have looked in both junk folders and nothing in there

Do I need to set up an external link to email or setting inside of wordpress or bbpress to open my Outlook to send it or should it automatically send through wordpress?
