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

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);

[Ragnarock1982SV]

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

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 !

I want to order my bbpress forums in a specific order that is not alphabetical, how do I change it so that on my site its in a specific order that I want?

Cheers
w.a.a.m.h.

[van24]

Hi Robin. Thanks for the tip. I changed all instances of BBP_Topics_Widget to BBP_Topics_Widget2. And I amended this line as well:
parent::__construct( false, __( ‘(bbPress) Recent Topics 2’, ‘bbpress’ ), $widget_ops );

But still I don’t see the new widget appearing in the WP Widget area.. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

[Carl Fox]

@robkk

why would you want to import the newest version of a bbPress posts into WordPress when they should already show up fine, like a regular bbPress install??

The above makes no sense to me, anyone else? Did you read what I wtrote, or just the headline?

I am trying to import an entire forum (forums/topics/replies) from one WordPress install to another.

This should be simple, as Stephen Edgar wrote, it should be a standard option on the ‘Import Forums’ tab under ‘Tools’, but it’s not.

He also wrote that it would soon be implemented and really should be a simple process…. months ago!

@robin-w

Apologies Robin if I wasn’t clear.

I have a forum on a WordPress 4.1 install located on a live test server.
(oxymoron? – I know, but that’s how I develop, consider it a sandlot)

I am running version 2.5.4 of bbpress, and am trying to move it to a different WordPress installation, also 4.1.

I did not do:
Dashboard>tools>forums>export from the WP 4.1/bbPress 2.5.4 because there is no such option

I did do:
As advised on this forum and elsewhere, Dashboard>Tools>Export-Forums/Topic/Replies individually.(I did also try them all together, but this didn’t work at all..)

Then I imported them individually in order Forums/Topic/Replies.

This imports everything to the backend perfectly fine, but nothing shows on the front end.

I then followed the Forum repair procedures in many different forms (e.g.: one at a time/different order/all together) and still nothing shows on the front end.

As I said, I have tried this entire procedure in many ways now, both to standalone single site WP installs, Multisite setups, local WP installs and subdomains/subfolders, and regardless of how I do it, I never see anything on the Front End of the site I import to – but everything is perfectly visible and editable on the back end.

As for the ‘four months’, it has taken me that long, on and off, to follow all the various scraps of advice from around this forum on importing/migrating bbPress to different locations/installs, there are a lot of threads here covering many scenarios, and I tried most of them.

It is my experience that this is best practice on a support forum, otherwise I would rightly be told not to post about something that has already been discussed/solved.

I can now confidently inform you that there is no solution on this forum for my particular issue and would greatly appreciate your advice/help in finding a solution.

May I suggest two things though, which I feel would solve this issue for anyone going forward.

1) Please do develop the promised import option for bbPress 2.x forums in the Tools>Import Forums tab.

2) Please also post a step-by-step guide for manually adding bbPress tables via phpMyAdmin

Can you help me ?
