return wp_validate_auth_cookie( $cookie, $scheme );

I’ve got a 500 error.

I am wondering if you guys can help me out. I am total newbie when it comes to bbpress/wordpress and have run into an issue. I created a WordPress theme usig Beuno. I installed bbpress on top of that so that I could have a forum for discussion. The problem is that it looks terrible. Please check it out and tell me what i can do to fix this problem? Any and all help would be super appreciated.

[The Displaced Gamer]

The title pretty much says it all.

I’ve set up the forum and filled it out (according to set up tutorial found in the documentation.) and had everything working out fine. Then I noted that the subforums I made wouldn’t display anything. I get the generic:

“This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?

It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.”

without any clue, or log or any sort of errors as to why it doesn’t display. Actual topics if I go straight to them works, and anything made in a normal “forum” that isn’t nested works just fine.

So, forum ends up looking like
(Catagory)
– (Forum)
– (Forum)
– (Forum)
(Catagory)
– (Forum)
– (Forum)
– (Forum)
(Catagory)
– (Forum)
– (Forum)
– (Forum)
(Forum – Works as intended)

Perhaps I’ve missed something, perhaps I’m just being too newbie for this whole process. I did take a search through documentation and did a quick search, and didn’t see anything. I am a man though and can’t find the ketchup bottle in the fridge. . .

However I use WP 4.0 with the 2.5.4 BBforum plugin. I also installed bbPress WP Tweaks, and disabled it to confirm that it wasn’t causing the issue. There is no other plugins or things installed in which to conflict with this.

[Transit Radio]

I just installed bbpress (version 2.5.4) on my website (WordPress version 4) http://www.radio.transitmg.com/forums/ but it doesn’t work like it seems here.

I try to start new topics but don’t show up

Can you guys can help?

[Robkk]

you can first seperate the role , reply author name , and avatar.

i just put loop-single-reply.php into my child theme folder called bbpress

then i just remove this line in loop-single-reply.php

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

and replace it with these three lines of code.
this code also puts the role above the avatar.

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array('show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) ); ?>
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false, 'type' => avatar , 'size' => auto ) ); ?>
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false,'type' => 'name' ) ); ?>

and to have that sites kind of avatars you dont have a fixed width so the avatars size varies a little bit in height and width but it has a max width it never go bigger than.

to do that you would have to use this.

max-width and max-height are both 150px you can change that to whatever you want.

add this css whereever you can have custom css

bbpress.css in a child theme
child themes css
jetpacks custom css module
custom css plugin

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author img.avatar {
    border: medium none;
    max-width: 150px;
    padding: 0px;
    margin: 12px auto 0px;
    float: none;
    max-height: 150px;
}

if you change your mind about having the varied avatar sizes
you can remove 'size' => auto in the avatar code. which would leave the default 80px
or change 'size' => auto to whatever number you want example 'size' => 60

Thanks for logging this issue. I had the same problem. I’ve solved it without PHP, just jQuery.

For what it’s worth, here’s what it looks like:

<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    if (jQuery('#bbpress-forums')) {
        jQuery('.current_page_parent').toggleClass('current_page_parent').next().toggleClass('current_page_parent')
    }
});
</script>

It deselects the “current page” and selects the next one (which is the forum page, for me) as current. But only if #bbpress-forums is on the page.

I’ve added this to the footer.php file of my theme (GeneratePress), just before the </body> statement.

Hackish, but given that it’s noted as a bug it’ll do for now.

[Robkk]

do you still have the issue because i went to your site and it shows a set of bbpress widgets in a widget area on bbpress pages??

[Robkk]

its probably loop-single-forum.php that your after then.

if its not then just browse the templates in plugins>bbpress>templates>default>bbpress

[Robin W]

Can you explain a bit more about what you want?

Roles have capabilities, and are hieracrchical, so having two bbpress roles would be kinda pointless

If you just want a second name here, then you could use

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-profile-information/

[arno8]

Is there a way to add 2 roles on bbpress?

under the coordinator role I wanna add a second role

By default BBpress shows a link to the last post with the anchor text of how long ago it was posted. This is bad for SEO. To change this to the name of the last topic, see here:

How To Change The Freshness Date / Time To The Name Of The Last Topic In BBpress

[lewylewylewy]

I know this is an old thread, but it’s still relevant… I wanted to share my modifications for SEO:

Basically, what I found was that when I logged onto webmaster tools, it told me that my main keyword for my site was “ago”. This was because on all forums it says the word on the homepage. I changed this to say the name of the topic instead, so it indexes better because it’s more obvious that the content’s changed and also is better for SEO:

How To Change The Freshness Date / Time To The Name Of The Last Topic In BBpress

[Robin W]

ok, just looked and all the pages look fine now except the forum page – is that correct?

bbpress should use the bbpress template for all the pages, so you can’t really css the individuals (or not without tons of code).

How are you going to the initial forum ? is it method 1 or 2 from the following

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

and whichever try the other !

Once you are consistently wrong on all pages, you can make it consistently right !
