Okay…

Is there any way I can create a new div around the title that I called in the bbpress.php file or create a class for it so I can customize it in the CSS?

Does that make any sense at all? 🙂

Thanks!
Sharon

[sharongraylac]

Thank you, Bob1nz! I really appreciate that!

I’m very close… I managed to get the title to show up (apparently calling in the title on the page.php, now called bbpress.php worked. Just trying to figure out how to add either inline style or css to that. At least there’s a title showing, so there’s progress! 🙂

Thanks again!
Sharon

First, I believe I do have permalinks enabled, however, I’m such a novice I don’t know where to look.

4.1 isn’t much different than 4.0.1 and 4.0 wasn’t much different than 4.0.1. I’ve had all of them and everything else worked. Oh well, I research it further.

I definitely want forums. I just need to clear (approve) topics before they appear and approve replies as well. Other so called motorcycle websites have real problems with their forums and and have found themselves deleting a lot of what users put in. It’s all about approval.

I found bbPress shortcodes: https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ Would any of these help? and where would I put them?

Between the two of us we’ll get this straightened out.

[Bob1nz]

Adding a image in place of your existing title?
I believe that would be done via css and if you wanted it only on your bbpress pages by modifying the template files as with the titles.

Just did a bit of a google for ya and found this https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/descriptionintro-text-on-top-of-forum-page/ which could be another solution possibly?

[sharongraylac]

That’s strange… That’s exactly what I did. I used my page.php from my original theme, brought it into my Child theme, and renamed it bbpress.php. There was no title-wrapper div in that file. Perhaps I should use a different template as my bbpress.php?

[Bob1nz]

sorry make a copy of your default template (possibly page.php?) and rename it to bbpress.php

There should be a <div class=”title-wrapper”> in it already just add add in the style.

[sharongraylac]

Thanks, Bob1nz!

I created a bbpress.php file and added a call for the title: <?php the_title();?>

Where exactly do I place the inline style you mentioned?

Thanks again!
Sharon

[Bob1nz]

You could try making a copy of the page template in your child theme and renaming it to bbpress.php then specifying in it to show the title (unhide the css for the forums only.)

You would need to find the part on the page that calls the title-wrapper and specify an inline style of something like <div class=”title-wrapper” style=”display:block;”> as the inline style will over ride the css but only when the bbpress page is called (when you are looking at your bbpress forum)

[cyclesha]

I also found the bbPress short codes: https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ . Would any of these help and where do I put them?

[cyclesha]

Please take another look. I did use the info and set up a custom link. I do get the Private forum, however, the same, no such page error occurs for the other three sub forums.

Do you mean you don’t want anyone else to start topics?******** Yes, that is correct. I do want them to reply to topics. Topics need to be started by admin only.

there is a plugin for bbPress although I haven’t used it. https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpressmoderation/ ************ I found it although it seems they say only is compatible with WP version 3.6.1 I have WP version 4.1. Can I try it or will it screw things up?

[John James Jacoby]

Hey there. You’ll need to write a small plugin to do this, as currently there is no classification of what roles a user has available to target.

I’ve created this Trac ticket and slated it for the 2.7 release. It won’t be too difficult for us to make this easier for you in a future release.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2737

[Bob1nz]

ok so I have made some small progress

add_filter('bbp_get_user_role_map','custom_bbp_get_user_role_map');
function custom_bbp_get_user_role_map($role_map){
    $role_map['admin'] = bbp_get_admin_role();
    $role_map['guest'] = bbp_get_guest_role();
    return $role_map;
}

Works if I use the built in bbpress roles eg where is says bbp_get_admin_role(); have bbp_get_keymaster_role(); , bbp_get_moderator_role(); , bbp_get_admin_role(); bbp_get_participant_role();.

I seem to be stuck on getting the custom roles that I have created in bbpress to be picked up in the map.

The error I get is Fatal error: Call to undefined function bbp_get_admin_role() in [pathtomyfunctions.php] on line 550 which is $role_map[‘admin’] = bbp_get_admin_role();

Hi my forum appears in a part of the site that has a generic login. So what i need is that users have to type in email and name in order to post – is this possible? is there a shortcode for this or do i have to add something to the bbpress.php?
thank you in advance
Melanie

[Bob1nz]

I’m not an expert on these things but I just setup bbPress and I never setup a page for it.
To add it to my menu I got the page url for it and added a custom menu item pointing to that url.

I had a quick look at your website and the forums link in the menu appears to point to yourwebsite/?forum=forums which points to a page not found.

Try using this link instead yourwebsite/?post_type=forum as it seems to show the forums page at least, although I cannot see any categories or forums on it.

I do not want topics created from the front end

Do you mean you don’t want anyone else to start topics?

I will need to approve and post all replies to a topic

there is a plugin for bbPress although I haven’t used it. https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpressmoderation/

To allow users to register on your website you need to enable that feature. Its in the dashboard under Settings->General-> Membership.

Hi there,

So, took forever but eventually the importer finished, all the forums are there, when you go to debates and replies in admin they are all there and assigned to the right users, but when going to the user side of things, the forums and subforums are there with the correct count of posts and so on within them but when you go in to any of them, there´s no threads, as if it was empty (even if the count is right and it does mention latest posts and threads and so on.

[robertosalemi]

Hi,
the problem is still present.
This morning when I upgraded my two plugin files .mo and .po bbPress and BuddyPress were overwritten …
How so?
Thank You.

[Bob1nz]

I found this

/**
 * Return a map of WordPress roles to bbPress roles. Used to automatically grant
 * appropriate bbPress roles to WordPress users that wouldn't already have a
 * role in the forums. Also guarantees WordPress admins get the Keymaster role.
 *
 * @since bbPress (r4334)
 *
 * @return array Filtered array of WordPress roles to bbPress roles
 */
function bbp_get_user_role_map() {

	// Get the default role once here
	$default_role = bbp_get_default_role();

	// Return filtered results, forcing admins to keymasters.
	return (array) apply_filters( 'bbp_get_user_role_map', array (
		'administrator' => bbp_get_keymaster_role(),
		'editor'        => $default_role,
		'author'        => $default_role,
		'contributor'   => $default_role,
		'subscriber'    => $default_role
	) );
}

Is there any way to add extra roles in that without editing the plugin files directly?

Have you tried this?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-go-to-first-unread-post/

[Robin W]

ok, the software is held in files, the content (forums, topics etc) is held in the database.

Please read

https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/

for a long explanation of how wordpress is structured.

I believe you issue is as simple as that the level of user that you are does not permit you to se the ‘backend’ – that is the forum stuff in the dashboard – so deleting and recreating the plugin will not help you.

The answer I think is to go into phpmyadmin, and edit your entry to give yourself permission as per previous answer.

The link above should give you sufficient to be able to find your entry and edit it.

Hmm yes database editing may be too hard to me since I don’t have experience. After researching I did get close to what you are suggesting in MySQL but I think it may be a bit over my head.

That said, I’m thinking it may be easiest if I completely deleted the plugin files from my server. Then I could re-install bbpress. I’d need to know what backed up files I need to add back to the plugin once it’s re-installed in order to get all of my threads, posts, and users back.

Do you know what files that would be or how I could do that? Sorry this seems to be the never-ending support ticket!

[cyclesha]

Hello folks, I posted a topic on the trouble shooting page and think I should have posted it here.

Well, I installed the bbPress plug in and have it shown in the left side bar of my admin screen.

I then created a new page on my site: Forums and added the page to the menu.

So far I have nothing. Please help.

Hello!

I would love to make it so, to post on other forums, users have to put a post in a Welcome forum, to introduce themselves. Does anyone know a plugin to make this work?

Thanks!

For whatever reason, only my posts are visibly correct in post count under user avatar in the forums. Everyone else shows as having 0 posts. I’ve tried repairing each of the repairable items in the Tools>Forums to no avail.

Ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Looks like someone else is seeing this also.

It might be a server configuration issue, but I’m looking into it now.
