ok,

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-forum.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/content-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

then change lines
<?php if ( !bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘pagination’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘pagination’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘form’, ‘topic’ ); ?>

<?php elseif ( !bbp_is_forum_category() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘feedback’, ‘no-topics’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘form’, ‘topic’ ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

to
<?php if ( !bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘pagination’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘pagination’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php elseif ( !bbp_is_forum_category() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘feedback’, ‘no-topics’ ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

and save

that should do it

I have one user on my BBPress application where all of his posts on a topic in a forum go to status ‘Pending’. Even if I turn off all other plugins this still happens. However, if I change his email then his posts are automatically approved.

How can I remove his email from the ‘blacklist’ if there is such a thing in BBPress. I

BBPress 2.5.3

[Martyn Chamberlin]

WP role is subscriber and the bbPress role is Participant.

Above I’m using “author” in the generic sense of being the person who generated the content.

I can get in with my Admin, but all other can´t com in. it´s started after 25. januar 2015

i have:
PMPro bbPress
running with Paid Memberships Pro

[Robin W]

I have a problem with BBpress. Mmembers can´t login at my forum and see the post

you will need to provide more information to enable us to help you – the above is like saying ‘my car won’t start – what’s wrong?’

why can’t members log in, what are you using to log in, do they get this, if they do what error messages are they getting, how long has this been going on – always, just started, what else has happened to the site eg upgrades, additional plugins, new themes, can you log on? is it just one bbpress level or all levels etc. etc. etc.

ah-ha, top man, not sure but this one seems the likely culprit:

GD bbPress Attachments version 2.1

[Robin W]

ok, have received the email, and the attachment settings are not part of bbpress, so they must be part of a plugin.

Do you know which one, and is it a forum specific one?

[Robin W]

bbpress will need to access the old database, so it will need the name, and within that database and ‘prefix’ which helps separate databases.

Is there anyone you can contact to find out that info, or where is the database at the moment?

[Robin W]

seems they are helping you on the trac ticket, but first step would be

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.

Then come back

When viewing http://thewritepractice.com/topic/test/ as admin, the Edit link is there in the box. When viewing it as the author of it however, not seeing Edit.

The above are wordpress roles (and useful info) but can you tell me what bbpress roles you have set for this user.

[Springgg]

Maybe I’m blind but …
I’ve just installed bbPress plugin to my WP, with the idea to import Mingle forums but “Getting There” is not getting me anywhere as there is no Import Forums tab.
The only tabs there are All Forums and New Forum

Am I in the wrong place or…?

Help please! 🙁

[mvaneijgen]

Im designing a forum with users, panel users and expert users.

I want users to be able to ‘upgrade’ there account. All they have to do to make this happen is provide the website with extra information. (this sounds to me like a “buy a subscription” function and have them pick a Bronze, Silver or Gold subscription, so im looking in to bbpress/wordpress membership plugins, but there doesn’t seem to be one that suits me)

I don’t need paid subscriptions, I just want to change there forum role. It would be nice to intergrade this with something like a form plugin, so I can intergrade that with mailchimp so i can make lists based on there ‘subscription’

Another method would be have different sign up form on the website, before they become member and have them fill out the information I need based on the Role they want to become.

[Robin W]

ok, it’s back to looking at this aspect specifically.

1. some themes only show the edit when you hover in the topic/reply content, this is theme specific not bbpress.

2. I know you have already tested the below but please try again as bbpress is tested with default themes. Try twentyten as I know it gives a firm edit box :

Hi Robin,

Okay, I’m just now realizing that we have two problems going on here then.

1. Problem #1 was a universal to bbPress problem, and your code above fixes that.

2. Problem #2 is the fact that at http://thewritepractice.com/bw, the forum does not realize that you are the author of the topic you’re posting. There is no Edit button in the in-box area. Only when I enable “Edit others topics” for Participants via the bbPress Advanced Capabilities plugin do you then see the Edit link in the in-box area.

Any ideas on how we can fix this problem, and what might be causing it?

[mvaneijgen]

BBpress roles.

[Robin W]

ok, you mention ‘contributor’ – do you mean wordpress roles or bbpress roles?

[Robin W]

I have disabled file uploads in my bbPress forum

ok, so how did you do that?

[Robin W]

ok,

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

then change lines

<?php if ( !bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop',       'topics'    ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form',       'topic'     ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'feedback',   'no-topics' ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form',       'topic'     ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

to

<?php endif; ?>

and save

that should do it

[Editor Mike]

I have disabled file uploads in my bbPress forum, and all works well, that is to say, people can’t upload files.

Until… you go back into a post you made and edit it, when you are editing the post then the ability to attach a file is now available.

How can I switch it off so it is actually off?

Please help.

WordPress 4.0.1
bbPress Version 2.5.4

[Robin W]

ok, the following code removes the edit for bbpress, but leaves it for normal wordpress pages

function wpse_remove_edit_post_link( $link ) {
	if (is_bbpress()) return '' ;
	else return $link ;
	}
add_filter('edit_post_link', 'wpse_remove_edit_post_link');

The users will still be able to edit their topics and replies via the in-box edit buttons

[Robin W]

No problem.

Now you are back to the original, you might like to try this plugin that I have recently published

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

to style the elements within bbpress

[Martyn Chamberlin]

Wow. Crazy that nobody has ever tried to use that feature before!

Here’s the interesting thing though. WordPress.org’s support forum is (I’m 99% sure) built in bbPress and it does successfully allow you to edit topics that you’ve posted. The interface you are sent to when editing your topic does not reside inside the WordPress admin area. Rather it is right there on the publicly facing page.

I wonder how they are doing that?

Another interesting wrinkle in this whole thing is that according to the bbPress User Roles and Capabilities, participants should be able to edit their own topics.

[Manny Rodrigues]

I too had this issue and found countless other posts dated many years ago with no solution. I am using bbpress v2.5.4 and buddypress v2.1.1 on WordPress v4.1. I “resolved” this by editing my functions.php file within the bbpress plugin directory and replacing any character values with a blank. Good enough for me. This “solution” IS NOT RECOMMENDED as any update to bbpress is more than likely to overwrite it. Unless you don’t mind going back in and remembering to re-hack it after each update. No doubt it can be done better. The client just requested I get rid of the code values. Without further to do…

GoTo: yoursite\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\common\functions.php

Between Lines 1090 and 1091 Add:

$search_bbpress_titles = array("&# 039;", "&am p;", "&#82 11;", "&qu ot;"); // ' & - "
$topic_title = str_replace($search_bbpress_titles, '', $topic_title);

Then add the same two lines further down between Lines 1233 and 1234.

NOTE: You will have to remove the spaces from the $search_bbpress_titles array line as I was unable to post without it parsing that line. Don’t know the coding on this form to post properly. Email me if you need the code.

Looking forward to any other helpful input. No need to remind me how better you are at coding. 🙂
