Hello – I have successfully installed the plugin and created my forums, however i am having trouble getting the user roles set. When I try to save a user role such as moderator instead of participant, it will not save and just reverts back to participant.

Can you please help. bbpress Version 2.5.4, wd press WordPress 3.9.2 : Safarica theme version 1.5.0,

Thanks for your help!

I’m trying to add a column to bbPress 2.x that lists the last person to reply to a topic and adds a specific class to the

if that person is a moderator or keymaster. Unfortunately, I can’t find any documentation on the template tags in 2.x. So far, I’ve been able to get the user ID for the last reply, but I can’t seem to find the function that would get the role information for that user based on their ID.
Here’s the code that gets the ID:

$reply_author_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_topic_last_active_id() ) );

Now how can I get their bbPress role?

ok guys nice to meet you all and forgive me about my poor English.

my site is http://www.lotyr.cc/ and It’s a Chinese one, bbPress entrance is http://www.lotyr.cc/bbs/.

I’m using WordPress 3.9.2, Customized Thematic 1.0.4 theme and bbPRESS 2.5.4.

Here comes my problem:

I want my bbs users to upload and insert images before submitting a topic, so I used a plugin named [bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab], I enabled the media upload button through it and it works.

The default role of my site is contributor so [upload_files]capability is on, I double-checked it through another plugin.

And that contributor have the access to “media” in dashboard, upload works.

but when the contributor uploads through the button in the forum, it said “An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.” I checked the upload folder and there’s no new files.

is there any solution to it?

Here’s my setup:

WordPress Version: 3.8
bbPress Version: 2.5.2
Operating System: Linux
Web Server: Apache
Theme: Twenty Twelve child theme
PHP Version: 5.3.3

Thanks for looking into this!

I am editing now my website cepinfo and windowshata

[MeganKakora]

Well, since no one replied I played around a bit more, broke the website and then started again and tried something new. This answer is really for peeps who come across the same problem and don’t know what the problem is or how to fix, so I hope this helps.

My problem was the .php structure of my permalinks. Our server is configured in a very stupid way (and unfortunately I can’t change it) so I’ve reverted back to the default permalink settings which doesn’t incorporate .php in the URLs. And now everything works fine.

So, if you have .php in your URL, bbpress user profiles won’t work.

I’m having trouble outputting specific topic counts for individual forums into Google’s Geochart. I want to have the total topic count listed on the map for each region (each forum). I use the following code to try and print the value, but I know I’m missing something (limited PHP/Javascript experience). Please take a look below, what do I need to add in order to get the value to output?

<?php function my_geochart_script() {
        
   echo '<script type="text/javascript">
   google.load("visualization", "1", {"packages": ["geochart"]});
   google.setOnLoadCallback(drawRegionsMap);
 
   function drawRegionsMap() {
        var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
                ["Country", "Popularity"],
                ["Canada", <?php bbp_forum_topic_count( '23196' ); ?>],
                ["Japan", <?php bbp_forum_topic_count( '23190' ); ?>],
        ]);
 
        var options = {backgroundColor:{fill:"transparent"}};
 
        var chart = new google.visualization.GeoChart(document.getElementById("chart_div"));
        chart.draw(data, options);
   };
   </script>';
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'my_geochart_script' );

Any help would be much much appreciated! Thank you.

We have a couple of topics that have punctuation in them.

One of them: “Hello, I,m…”

If people are subscripted to this forum or post this is what they get in the subject line for the notification:

Hello, I'm…

Wordpress or bbPress is converting those characters to the html equivanant.

So, “‘” converts to &#039 and “…” converts to m…

This makes it really hard to read. Any way to fix this issue?

[MeganKakora]

I’ve searched these forums for days and I can’t seem to find an answer that resolves my issue. I’m using a child theme for Ward (recommended as a bbPress ready WP theme) and everything’s set up great, except the user profiles. All profiles return 404 errors when trying to view, but when I for some reason I can edit the profiles clicking on the WP Toolbar in the very top right corner.

Example: http://aysa.org.za/project2013/index.php/forums/profile/megs/edit

The theme has been set up in a subdirectory of the domain, but this or that I’m using the child theme shouldn’t be a problem, should it?

Hi!

I’ve just installed bbpress following the guide available on documentation. Once everything set up I can register, login and see the forum root and threats (created from dashboard) but I can not see the forums hanging from the root.

Any idea? Thanks in advance.

http://killyourstereo.com – the main forum is private

Server : AWS EC2 m1.medium
DB : AWS RDS db.m3.medium
CDN: AWS S3 (currently only serving images)

Here’s a breakdown of the site: http://builtwith.com/killyourstereo.com let me know if any other info would help.

Not using anything crazy from a plugin perspective either:
ACF
BBPress
Quick Cache Pro (caching only for guests at the moment)
All in One SEO

and few other plugins.

– No threaded replies
– The forum is on the root, hadn’t really considered moving but it feels like its more of a db issue.

at the moment its taking about ~15seconds to reply

cheers

[Robkk]

when i respond using LMGTFY its normally a dig at the other person

XD haha alright

ive eliminated all the points you’ve made above, and the site only chokes when users are submitting posts in the forum, so I’m confident i’ve isolated the issue.

great!! i was hoping you did , because any second shaved in loading helps.

as mentioned i’m coping heaps of flack for the performance of the forum and losing users so i hope you can appreciate why there’s an element of urgency.

post more information about how you are setup on your site. (this is good for support of others users)

do you have threaded replies active? (this always took awhile to load on a reply for me)
do you have the forum on root? (some huge bbpress forums i saw have the forum on a subdomain)
do you have a cdn? (i checked two huge forums that use bbpress and they use cloudflare)

here are the forums
http://tamrielfoundry.com/forums
http://www.highexistence.com/discussions

and also can you post a link to your forum?

[Robkk]

haha i read everything

what i just doing is lead you to a google search , it was suppose to help you to find info that might help you

any kind of information is good when trying to speed up a website.

i dont know if you use alot of bbpress plugins or plugins that work with it and you need to optimize scripts and css handling.

or if your forums have alot embedded images or uploaded images.

or that you need a database optimizer plugin

im just trying to help you on a pretty broad question

i wasnt trying to be rude or anything if you took it that way

other than that i guess wait til 2.6

[Robkk]

haha i found the topic your talking about

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-ask-question-in-bbpress-forum-wont-post-help-1?replies=8

@netweb meant if your question pertains to bbpress

post your topic here https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting#postform

and how wordpress works on posting support forums , if its plugins or themes they have their own support forums, but its just any other wordpress stuff post in some of these forums in this link

This is not a bbPress issue, please post your WordPress issues on the WordPress support forums:

No, do not apply any fixes in #2586, these are what was included in bbPress 2.5.4.

I’ll check out a couple of things and get back to you, in the meantime do you still have “Enable Threaded Replies” in bbPress settings?

[luisc9]

Stephen:

Bad news 🙁

I got the message: “Recalculating reply menu order … No reply positions to recalculate!”

But the replies are not in order…

Any ideas? Should we apply the fix at https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2586 ?

Thanks in advance
Luis

[Robkk]

in the original bbpress theme

in loop-single-topic.php your freshness column should have this

the bolded text is what shows the avatar,
to make it bigger just make the number higher
high existence uses 40 , they have border radius css to make it rounded

<li class="bbp-topic-freshness">

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_freshness_link' ); ?>

		<?php bbp_topic_freshness_link(); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_freshness_link' ); ?>

		<p class="bbp-topic-meta">

			<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_freshness_author' ); ?>

			<strong><span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author"><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_topic_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?></span></strong>

			<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_freshness_author' ); ?>

Hello! I’m using WP 3.91 and BBPRESS 2.54. My forum is at caravanguitars.com/forum

I’d love to add a colum to my topics list just like here… with the image being the main addition.

http://www.highexistence.com/discussions/latest/

Any ideas how to accomplish this? I’ve been searching high and low with no promising leads. Thanks for any help!!

Hi Stephen / @netweb,
Many thanks for your replies! I am trying to convert MyBB 1.6.11. It is a very old forum which (unfortunately) was customized improperly by the previous owner. It was lagging many many versions. I paid a student to do an upgrade about a year ago, but there is some funky **** still in the PHP. With my limited knowledge of MyBB I even tried to a fresh install of MyBB and imported the complete forum in it. Pulled all my hairs out when I found out MyBB stores code in the database…

I’ve stressed my dear wife to start cleaning the old forum, which she’s (finally) diligently doing now.

Don’t worry too much about making any updates on the code 🙂 I also have some kind of life and job next to trying to convert a MyBB forum 😉 After all the cleaning of the old forum, I will do another test run to see if I can find any other issues. It is very likely that some errors are just because it is an ancient forum (10 years old). Read up on the conversion of @Halo-DieHard. Will make sure I do a repair/optimization of the old forum. To be honest, I am not sure if I did that with the last conversion, sorry.

I will report back on the forum on what I was able to squeeze out on performance with MAMP, with what settings and the results.

Another (most likely dumb) question I forgot to ask. This could be the answer to the missing(?) topics/replies. At the end of the conversion, the program shows in short intervals ‘-‘ on the screen. This takes forever and lasted almost as long as the initial part of the conversion which grabbed the Rows. I thought the conversion was finished when the ‘-‘ stopped appearing on screen ‘————‘ etc. Was I supposed to wait for some kind of other message which indicates the conversion ended?

In the meantime I am busy integrating the plugin USERPRO and GD bbPress Toolbox. Never coded in PHP and already hate the syntax 😉 I will get there and report back on the results!

Thanks again for your time!

[Robkk]

remove the #bbpress-forums code you added

and also the code i gave you before

use this

.bbpress #primary {
float:left;
width:100%;
}

Has anybody had the issue where a search of the forums takes you back to the homepage? As in, I get a supposedly good link (mysite/forum/search/topic), but the page itself is the homepage of the site instead. I’m using bbPress 2.5.4-5380 and I have WP 3.9.2. The site is built on the Thesis framework (v. 2.1.9) and I’m really hoping that’s not what’s causing the conflict. Everything else on bbPress is working fine. I just can’t use the Search function for some reason.

Thanks in advance!

[akyboy]

well looks like i solved it,..

created bbpress.php in theme dir , and inserted all from page.php from default theme.
all looks fine so far.

[Stephen Edgar]

As I said, you alot of forum software that has pagination for the categories/forums.

This is why the time has not been spent adding this into bbPress, most of the time it is not needed.

What you should do is organize more “top level” categories if that’s what it takes.

category A
– sub-category A1
— forum AA1
— forum AA2
category B
— sub-category B1
— forum BB1
— forum BB2

[divyesh25]

hi Stephen,

thanks for reply. yes i want this kind of pagination (“Page 1″, “Page 2″ etc). there is no other custom code for pagination or ajax based loading data. This kind of pagination required on my site because lots of data so i am separate out using categorywise. bbpress have great features so i used it on my site. but i am little disappointed just becusee of forum pagination.

thanks.

[mouna84]

this code worked to center the forums, but not the bottom of the page:

#bbpress-forums {
width: 900px;
margin-left: 100px
}
