Hello,
I am experiencing a strange issue. After upgrade to wp4.1 and lates Theme updates when I try to activate bbpress (latest) all my blog articles are not visible. Basically the HOME page loads but when I click anything, any blog, the URL is trying to open but page stays BLANK, strange. Then I need to be manually deactivate bbpress and all goes to normal.
Now I dont know where to look for error BBpress, WP or Theme compatibility between those, i am lost. Did you experienced someting similar in a past ?
thank you for your advices.

Hello,

I currently use bbPress as an integration within Buddypress. The forums have worked beautifully for a while but I’ve noticed all of the sudden when we try and post a new topic to a forum that it apparently submits but gives me a blank page. Have tried a few things to fix this (reset, etc) but nothing has worked. Almost all my plugins are disabled and none of them post an issue previously.

I’ve seen multiple posts on your site about this but with no real solid answer. Please push me in the right direction.

Cheers.

Hi everyone. I am having problems styling the paragraph text within replies. There is some inconsistency between the tags used to surround them, and I don’t know why.

For example, in one thread that was created a few days ago, the topic and the first three replies all use <p></p> for each paragraph. But then in the fourth reply, the entire answer is surrounded by these tags:
<div id=”d4p-bbp-quote-167005″></div>

In another thread, a reply is surrounded by similar tags and paragraphs are created by using both <p> AND <br />! So for example:
<div id=”d4p-bbp-quote-122521″>first paragraph
<br>
second paragraph
<p>third paragraph</p></div>

This makes it extremely difficult to format without messing up other elements of the design. Do you have any idea why this is happening? It doesn’t seem to be related to whether users are admin or not. From the name of the div tag I guess its something to do with the quotes module of the GD bbPress plugin. Is this a known issue?

Wordpress 4.1 // bbPress 2.5.3 // bbPress SubScriptions 0.4dev // GD bbPress Attachments 2.0

I see where the data is being prepared before use of send_email():
self::$handler->send_mail($user_ids, $subject, $text, compact(‘topic_id’, ‘reply_author_name’));

Where I am stuck is what to include in send_email() so that the GD image file (d4p_attachment[]) is included in the reply email, as well as the reply post.

All thoughts and ideas appreciated.

Thanks.

How do I go about getting into and editing the coding for the “img” button?

Currently the code that is applied is (img src=”xxxxxxxx” alt=”ffs” /) with the ( ) being < > and the xxx’s being the images URL.

I want to change the coding to (url=xxxxx)(img)xxxxx(/img)(/url) with the parentheses replaced with square brackets and xxxxx with the photo’s url.

By doing so, the images can be clicked which would open a lightbox

Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks Robin! I got it fixed by following these instructions https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forums-page-rendering-excerpt-forum-archive/#post-157189

I think the FRESHNESS field should display the date of the last reply or topic, but instead it only shows the date of the last topic.

This is what it should do (and does on my test site)

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.

[Robin W]

This is a theme issue.

You need to get bbpress to use the right theme template if possible.

Suggest you look at

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

and/or check with the theme author

After some tests, I tried to deactivate one-by-one the last plugins I’ve installed. And after deactivating Google Anlytics by Yoast, it made the trick!

Forums are back now! All are listed. Widget is back on all the pages, I can reply and create topics… I hope this helps other people. This plugin seems to be incompatible with bbPress plugin!

[kmal91]

Hey guys,

the forums archive page is messing up and I am hoping I can receive some help here. This is what it looks like: any ideas?

[Sparkey]

Well thank you so much Robin and Robkk for trying, and Robin, I know what you mean about Buddypress, I tried this question over there on the forum and didn’t get any response.

I guess nobody knows how it works LOL

I have been trying to think of a more specific way to word the question, I assume that BBPress looks into the database somehow – somewhere to create these crazy permalinks.

Anyway Thank you

[eVersatile]

That did not work. I’m thinking it may not be possible since buddypress group forums integrate with bbpress forums globally

[Robin W]

I’ve just re-read your original post, and you are not using bbpress breadcrumbs, but rather those that come with your theme – yes?

[Robin W]

ok, gentle response !!

your forum is sitting within a class of .entry-content which is set to max-width: 474px;

so you need to add

.entry-content {
  max-width: 100% !important;
}

to your theme style.css at the end

Strictly speaking you should add this to a child theme

Functions files and child themes – explained !

but if you add it to your main theme, juts keep a note of it, as you will need to re-add it should your theme be updated

Come back if anything not clear, and I’ll help further !

[Robin W]

presume you are using

bbPress Moderation 1.8.3

This is a wordpress question rather than bbpress. bbpress just uses wordpress and allocates a role on first login.

so google something like

‘wordpress user registration plugin’

I did and got, and plenty of other references

Hi there,

I’m looking for an option to hold new topics by non-admin users in moderation for approval before they are visible. I’ve tried looking at this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpressmoderation/ but it deals with topics and replies together- you have to moderate both or not moderate both. I’m not interested in moderating replies, just topic starters.
Could anybody by any chance suggest a different plugin, a code snippet to use etc. to work around this issue?
(I’m running the latest versions on WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress).
Thank you very much!

[Stagger Lee]

I do it with this snippet. For WordPress and bbPress together. Local links are opened normally, only extern are target blank. Dont forget to change your domain line.

// Make URL Clickable In WordPress, bbPress (plus target=”_blank”)
add_filter( 'the_content', 'make_clickable');

function autoblank($text) {
$myurl = 'http://your-domain.com';
$external = str_replace('href=', 'target="_blank" href=', $text);
$external = str_replace('target="_blank" href="'.$myurl, 'href="'.$myurl, $external);
$external = str_replace('target="_blank" href="#', 'href="#', $external);
$external = str_replace('target = "_blank">', '>', $external);
return $external;
}
add_filter('the_content', 'autoblank');
add_filter('bbp_get_topic_content', 'autoblank',255);
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_content', 'autoblank',255);

Remove nofollow if you need to !

function mtn_weekly_fix_rel_follow( $content ) {
    // Find rel="nofollow", replace with empty space.
    $content = preg_replace( '/rel="nofollow"/', ' ', $content);
    return $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'mtn_weekly_fix_rel_follow', 20 );
add_filter('bbp_get_topic_content', 'mtn_weekly_fix_rel_follow',255);
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_content', 'mtn_weekly_fix_rel_follow',255);

Hi All,

I’m kinda new to the whole website creating thing, and really need some help with this one.

I have installed BBpress, Buddypress and BBpress new UI (To change the look of bbpress), now the website is http://www.steelvanguards.com

If you look on the forum page, I have disabled the widget so that I have the full page for the forum. However the forum is only in the middle of the page.

I have tried adding :

.bbpress .container {
max-width:100% !important;
}

To a few files, as per the previous topics, but nothing happens.

Am I doing something wrong? I can’t find anything in any of the files which relates to the actual width of the forum.

Please please help. . . because I’m on the verge of giving up and going back to WPSymposium. . . which doesn’t have enough features for what I need.

How to add more fields to bbPress registration form ?

Thank you

[Novadrake1111]

I am using a wordpress skin that integrates BBPress very nicely. One thing I am looking to do, however is make the bbpress forums have a hierarchy like any other software out there currently. I am not that amazing at coding and would appreciate if someone could explain in an easy to understand way. If it’s something that I would have to code completely over, i’d be willing to pay someone to help me code that.

Thank You

[Robin W]

add the following to your functions file

add_filter('private_title_format', 'pg_remove_private_title');

function pg_remove_private_title($title) {
		return '%s';
	}

[Robin W]

ok, thanks for the clarification.

You say that everything is working on the backend – this would suggest that the import is fine, and maybe that something else is affecting.

It could be a theme or plugin issue
