Wordpress 4.0
bbPress 2.5.4

Hi,
in admin toolber, I would disable the section about buddyPress, I detected it by css code:
ul#wp-admin-bar-my-account-buddypress.

Can I hide it?

Thanks.

Damn spammers! Maybe you can set up editor role to users with high rating or registered long time ago? Actually is a big problem (spam) on my sites too. It would be great if some instruments with ratings will be available (like a additional plugin for buddypress or bbpress) 🙂

Hope you block all spammers! Good luck 🙂

Hi,
in the function ‘bbp_get_single_forum_description’, I would concat a message for user not logged in.

I wrote:

add_action( 'bbp_get_single_forum_description', 'msg_for_user_loggedin' );
add_action( 'bbp_get_single_topic_description', 'msg_for_user_loggedin' );

function msg_for_user_loggedin( $args = '' ) {
	if ( !bb_is_user_logged_in() )
	{ 
		$custom_msg = "You must be logged in to see all topics.";
	}
	else 
	{
		$custom_msg = "";
	}
	
     echo $custom_msg . bbp_get_single_forum_description( $args );
}

But it not works, why?

Thanks.

Hi,

How can I diagnose where the conflict between bbpress and a plugin on our website occurs so I can fix within the plugin?

We’re using a theme that integrates the bbpress forum in to it and we’re 99% sure that this plugin is the reason why the forum isn’t working but we need both the plugin and the bbpress forum to work alongside each other.

How can we find the issue with the plugin and fix it? At the moment the forum structure works but threads and replies aren’t shown at all.

Thanks,
Adam

Hello Robin,

Please I am a novice to using all this. Heres my own question:

My website is a free membership website (no form of payment, just a free membership site where my colleagues can register and chat in groups for free).
I have s2member Pro, buddypress and bbpress installed.

S2member Pro= handles registration form. there is a restricition in the forum page which redirects you to either register or login before you can access the forums and its working fine( I HAVE DONE THAT ALREADY). During member registration, theres a field i created for year of graduation. lets say for a example you choose 1991 as your year of graduation, then you finish your registration and logged in.

Buddypress= BP handles my group forums and i have groups forums 91, 92,93 and so on. I want only users that graduated in 1991 to have access to only group 91. Users that graduated in 1992 to have access to group 92 only. users that graduated in 1991 should not be able to access 92 groups and vice versa.

BBPress: My bb press handles sitewide forums and general chats which is already accessible to every logged in member.

Please how can I use your plugin: bbp private group to assign this? please show me how to do it in details sir, I want to restrict certain members from accessing certain group chats, let it not be even visible to them. Heres my skype: aibrahim299. Thanks.

Hi,
I have upgraded a website to wordpress 4.0.1 and bbpress to version 2.5.4 and after that topics have disappeared. If I click on each forum appear two messages:
This forum contains 7 topics and 102 replies
but no topics are shown and after this message there is this other message:
Oh bother! No topics were found here!

We have tried to change the template and to deactivate the plugins but there are no conflicts and the issue still exist.

Hi,

I have a problem where pagination is not working in my theme.

I am doing template redirect in function.php to template file of forum, topic or reply if URL is like http://domain/forums/…
Right templates are loaded and right content is shown, but pagination is not working, first page is always shown/loaded.
Pagination appends …/page/{page}/ to URL when page is selected, but always first page of data loads.
I have tried to set page manually, among others, $bbpressInstance->forum_query->paged, but no luck.

My question is, how and where to set page that should be loaded, and how to track where is the problem. Because problem is in my theme, pagination works in WP default themes.
How to debug this?

I am on deadline, but stuck on this basic feature and should appreciate some pointers how to debug this.

BBPress forum is included in my template file through shortcode
echo do_shortcode('[bbp-single-forum id='.$id.']');
Topics are included like
echo do_shortcode ( '[bbp-single-topic id=' . $id . ']' );
And Replays like
echo do_shortcode ( '[bbp-single-reply id=' . $id . ']' );

[digiblogger]

This is absolutely not correct.
There is no a single capability, allowing to restrict anybody for anything on “per forum base”.

You can allow or restrict creating, writing, replying (…) for specific rules.

But you can not create somthing like that:

Forum 1
Guests: Allowed to view, but not to create or answer
Members: Allowed to view, allowed to answer, but not to create
Moderators: Allower to view, answer and create

Forum 2
Guests: Not allowed to view, create or answer
Members: Allowed to view, create an answer
Moderators: Allowed to view, anwer and create

Forum 3
Guest: Not alowerd to view, create, answer
Members: Allowed to reply, but not to view or create
Moderators: Allowed to create, view and reply.

Capabilities on per Forum base would make bbpress an absolutely perfect forum solution.

Example 1:
Allow to create Groups.
Set permissions for groups on per forum.

Example 2:
Allow to set permissions for all existing groups on per forum base.

The capabilities that are included allow only general permissions/restrictions.
You can not have different capabilities for every group on per forum base.

Digi

All vast majority of your sugestions are already included in bbPress 2.x

See this codex doc for an overview of bbPress’ roles and capabilities 🙂

Dude.

After multiple issues and days of stress, I came to the conclusion that BBPress is not worth the hassle.

I moved to using Discourse and boy am I glad I did.

It seems to me that BBPress is dead in the water.

Take heed and check out Discourse!

[Nicolas Korobochkin]

@schrully do you use external plugin and send emails from remote SMTP server?
I also have this problem on my multisite. Maybe it occurs because bbPress send emails with BCC (one email for all subscribed users and mail services like gmail delete emails thinking that it’s spam)?
I remove default functions that send emails and write custom functions to send email notifications with cron and all works correctly right now.
I don’t digg into this issue with default functions. I think the last version of bbPress have bug because previous release sends emails on my site 🙂

[Reverend2100]

Hi brainy people!

I’ve added the forums to my website, and have also added a plugin called Users Ultra. For the most part, the forums and Users Ultra share enough common ground that they do, to an extent, work together.

however one thing I’ve been having trouble with is that UU allows inter-user messaging, wheras I don;t think bbPress does. So for that reason I need to be able to add a Users-Ultra-generated Message User button on the bbPress Profile page.

(I hope I’m making sense here)

However, when I edit the file I believe should be controlling that page (\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\user-profile.php), no changes actually show up on the live site?

So, in short, how do I add some custom code to the bbPress User Profile page? Or does anyone know if a more elegant way to make this function work through bbPress?

[Letty2014]

Hi,
I’m new to bbpress and I have set up a forum which I really like the look of.
However they are in alphabetical order which is not what I want.

I’ve tried and failed to find a solution.

See below how they are arranged, General needs to be at the top, plus there is more to add once I know what I’m doing.

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Letty

Farm Machinery
Machinery for sale (0, 0), Machinery wanted (0, 0)

General
How to post a photo (0, 0), Welcome (0, 0)

@izzyian

you just do it like how i did it.

by editing the template loop-single-reply.php that was in my bbpress folder in my child theme

separate the role from the rest of the bbp_reply_author_link

like this

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => false ) ); ?>

<?php 
$displayed_user = bbp_get_reply_author_id() ;
$role = bbp_get_user_role( $displayed_user);
if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster($displayed_user)  || $role == 'bbp_moderator'  ) {
	
	echo bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) );
	
         }
?>

[Robkk]

in this code you pasted it looks like the exact code to display the avatars is already there.

maybe you didnt install the template files right??

wherever you see something like this below , this is what should be displaying the avatar

‘size’ => 14

this is complete started by section showing the started by author avatar

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_before_topic_started_by’ ); ?>

<?php
if (class_exists(‘userpro_api’)) {
/* Integrating UserPro */
global $userpro;
$link = preg_replace(“/(?<=href=(\”|’))[^\”‘]+(?=(\”|’))/”, $userpro->permalink( bbp_get_topic_author_id() ),
bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( ‘size’ => 14 ) ) );
} else {
$link = bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( ‘size’ => ’14’ ) );
}
?>

<span class=”bbp-topic-started-by”><?php printf( __( ‘Started by: %1$s’, ‘bbpress’ ), $link ); ?></span>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_after_topic_started_by’ ); ?>

this is the complete freshness section showing the author avatar

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_before_topic_freshness_author’ ); ?>
<?php
if (class_exists(‘userpro_api’)) {
global $userpro;
$link = preg_replace(“/(?<=href=(\”|’))[^\”‘]+(?=(\”|’))/”, $userpro->permalink( bbp_get_topic_author_id( bbp_get_topic_last_active_id() ) ), bbp_get_author_link( array( ‘post_id’ => bbp_get_topic_last_active_id(), ‘size’ => 30 ) ) );
} else {
$link = bbp_get_author_link( array( ‘post_id’ => bbp_get_topic_last_active_id(), ‘size’ => 14 ) );
}
?>

<span class=”bbp-topic-freshness-author”><?php echo $link; ?></span>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_after_topic_freshness_author’ ); ?>

@foresme

give a link to a bbPress post on your site that should have paragraph spacing.

[skyynet]

I read a lot about these email notification problems and think this is a real pain in the a..
On my system

wp: 4.0.1
bbpress: 2.5.4
wp-url: subdomain.domain.com

Everytime an email is about to be sent I get an error message from my server like <noreply@ubdomain.domain.com>… Deferred: Connection refused by ubdomain.doamain.com.

You might have seen that the subdomain is being put into the email sender and the first letter of it is killed. In my opinion the sender should be noreply@domain.com instead of noreply@ubdomain.schule.com.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks,

Ingo

Hello Everybody.

I hope you understand my “german Englisch”.

I tried many many membership and capability plugins to empower bbpress. But with no success.
This is because bbpress has capabilities, but don´t used them the right way.

I am not a developer, so I don´t know, if everything I suggest is possible or not. But I know, for some of these features, that it worked for former versions of bbpress with plugins that are outdated for years.

What bbpress really needs are capabilities in this way (marking new capabilites with (*)):
When talking about forums, I mean forums and categories.

Forums/Categories

can_see_forum
can_see_thread

Threads

can_create_topic_in_forum (*)
can_edit_owntopic_in_forum (*)
can_edit_anytopic_in_forum (*)
can_delete_owntopic_in_forum (*)
can_delete_anytopic_in_forum (*)

Replies

can_create_reply_in_forum (*)
can_edit_ownreply_in_forum (*)
can_edit_anyreply_in_forum (*)
can_delete_ownreply_in_forum (*)
can_delete_anyreply_in_forum (*)

Moderators/Admins

Capabilites to create, edit, delete, move or split forums, threads and replies.

With these capabilites, bbpres itself or every capability addon could add members or groups to forums and categories.

This would make bbpress more like full featured forum software (vbulletin, burning board, phpbb and other) than it ever was.

I asked a developer a long time ago, how long it would take to build an extension or add this to the bbpress core features.

He said something like: BBPress is well coded. I think, adding these capabilities and rules to forums, adding some metaboxes for assigning groups, members or capabilites to forums post types.. I think a good developer could do this in no time.

Well… he is specialized in another section of wordpress plugins and not interested in creating for bbpress. But I think, every wordpress user and forum lover would love these features.

And I think, this is also a great way to prevent spam in forums. on non-english websites, most spam plugins block users that are definetly no spammers, because they search for things, that are not present in non english languages.

Hoping for feedback and… hope this can be realized.

Plugins I tried:
– press permit
– advanced access manager
– advanced capabilites manager
– s3members
– members
– and many many more (used keyword in wp repo: bbpress, member, access, restrict, capability, capablites, read, write, permission and more)

Hope for positive feedback

I was hoping that would be easy to find a solution. It is a bbpress feature after all.

Maybe I miss something but my setup is very simple:

WP 4.0.1
BP 2.1.1
bbPress 2.5.4
Theme Twentyfourteen

I receive every other email without any problem (e.g. buddy press mention emails). The problem only occurs with bbPress.

[Paolo]

I’ve found this on github and modified it a bit.

//Close forum topics inactive for more than 30 days

add_action('bbpress_daily_event', 'bbpress_close_old_topics');
function bbpress_topic_scheduler() {
wp_schedule_event(time(), 'daily', 'bbpress_daily_event');
}
function bbpress_close_old_topics() {
// Auto close old topics
$topics_query = array(
'author' => 0,
'show_stickies' => false,
'parent_forum' => 'any',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => -1
);
if ( bbp_has_topics( $topics_query ) )
while( bbp_topics() ) {
bbp_the_topic();
$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id();
$last_active = strtotime( get_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_last_active_time', true ) );
if ($last_active < strtotime( '-30 days') )
bbp_close_topic( $topic_id );
}
}

I’m using it on the support forum of our Business directory plugin.

Hope you can find it useful too.

Thx

[dmx09]

Sorry to hijack this thread @harpeml but this might just be what I’m looking for.

@netweb – We are in the process of migrating a Ning site to a bbPress forum. We managed to import some of the content using the ‘Import from Ning’ plugin but unfortunately it didn’t import any replies (just the main topics were imported).

From what I can see, it might be possible to convert the json file (which is exported from Ning) to a CSV file and then import that in the way you have suggested above. Do you think this would work?

It appears Ning don’t make it particularly easy to get content to other platforms!
Any guidance most appreciated.

[Robin W]

ok,
Firstly bbpress roles and wp roles are entirely different, and are set in different places in wordpress, although they share the wp-capabilities space in wp_options.

So you can have an author who is also a keymaster and an administrator who is only a participant.

what other plugins are you running ? and how and where were/are you setting up the bbpress roles?

a membership plugin might be responsible for this??

[hassebasse]

I’ve got a problem with Administrator / Keymaster and other roles when installing bbPress.

When setting up the site in 4.0 I created 2 administrators beside myself, and the rest of the members of the club I gave the roles of Authors or Editors (but in French Auteur and Editeur). When installing bbPress everyting screwd up. Suddenly everyone had the lowest role and the other administrators couldn’t log in to the Dashboard but of some reason my previliges as Administrator remaind. When attempting to give back the roles as Admins to the other 2 accounts, there where no Admin in the list to so I couldn’t give them that role. The highest role I could give them was Editor

I then deinstalled bbPress. My Administrator account then turned into Keymaster and the other two former Adminstrators turned into Editeurs (editor in French) but all the other members got their old roles.

So when now trying to give back the Administrors role to myslef (who is a Keymaster for the moment) and to the other 2 accounts there is no Administrator in the list just a mitchmach of roles in English and in French. What turnes up are (rmember that bbPress is deinstalled now):

* Abboné
* Participant
* Moderator
* Blocked
* Spectator
* Keymaster
* Contributeur
* Auteur
* Editeur

(FYI I have now upgraded WordPress to 4.0.1)

What is this all about. How do I give people the roles of Adminstrator ??? And why did the roles change in the first place ?
