I believe the issue is that users do not receive notifications when the topic is created on the back-end. If topics are created on the front end and users are subscribed to the forum they should get the notifications.
I found this previous post that describes the issue:
Users don't receive notifications for new topics created in admin
What this means in my case is that I need to instruct my keymasters or moderators to create their topics on the front end for proper notifications to happen. I have tested this and I believe it works. A pain I know, but at least there is a work-around.
So where do we put this code, some might ask?: This is a plugin, so we can create a file like /wp-content/plugins/empty-anonymous-replies-in-bbpress/empty-anonymous-replies-in-bbpress.php. Then we visit the plugin section in the backend and activate it. This code should also work from the functions.php file in the current theme directory. I hope this helps the users, that aren’t sure what to do with this code.
you make a .php file copying the entire code they published
or copy after
/**
* Plugin Name: Empty Anonymous Replies in BBPress
* Plugin URI: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/133420/26350
*/
and add that code to functions.php if you hopefully have a child theme
Ok, again, never mind. After giving my site some time to clear it’s cache, the problem is back.
Please advise on how to remove the search functionality from the bbpress plugin so that my regular search works on my website, http://daniels.du.edu.
Currently, any search simply returns the most recent posts in an unformatted template.
I have exactly the same problem, using :
– WP V. 3.9.1
– bbPress v 2.5.4
– bbP Private Groups
– bbP Members only
– GD bbPress Attachments.
Did sommebody already met and fixed this?
Can’t figure it out, here’s te portion of code that It’s not working:
$_POST[‘bbp-forums-role’] = “keymaster”;
bbp_profile_update_role();
For example, I only want to update actual bbpress logged in user role with “keymaster” role.
Maybe I’m not using bbp_profile_update_role() in the right way. 🙁
How do I enable real anonymous posting in bbpress? I found this code on http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/131550/how-do-i-set-up-real-anonymous-posting-in-bbpress-forums But I’m too much of a noob to implement it. Between which lines should i paste the code to enable anonymous posting? The comment underneath is trying to be helpfull! But how do I create a working plug-in file?
I think the solution is really easy for anyone familiar with php. Between which lines should I paste the code provided on the site mentioned above? Any answers will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much! A very big n00b
Probably disable wpMandrill for bbPress notifications would be the quickest way and let WordPress’ send the emails as BCC is fully supported.
You can try the following plugin that I whipped up, I have only tested it on a local install and works for me…
https://gist.github.com/ntwb/d45948672dbf5fd580c9
That said, if you already have custom functions using the wpMandrill mandrill_payload filter in another plugin or functions.php file then updating the relevant section of that for bbPress would be the suggested route. I’m also not sure how this will affect any other templates or custom configurations you may be using either via the wpMandrill plugin config options or any options you have set in your Mandrill API/Setup/Config. (As stated, I’ve only just fired up wpMandrill to have a a quick look for the first time a couple of hours ago)
Ah ha great catch. So for those of us in this boat what would be the best course of action to take to immediately get back up and running? Is it safe to roll back in any way until the next version of bbPress is released?
Hi there,
I’m looking for a little help and guidance with the transfer of a forum.
We’ve been updating a website which runs a bbpress forum. We’ve developed the new wordpress site on a dummy domain using ‘Duplicator’ to copy the old website over and run the various theme / design updates. Whilst we have been doing this the current website has still be running.
We now need to copy the forum activity which has happened in the last 3 weeks from the current site to update the new design before transferring it all back the live domain.
Hope this makes sense!
For clarification we run:-
Wordpress 3.9.1
BBPress 2.5.4
S2Member 140614
Proper live domain:- lifeafterlondon.com
Dummy test domain:- lifeafterlondon.co.uk
It was is not working on a page where i added bbpress forum shortcode. It works everywhere else, like posts, forum root etc.
If it were me, I’d start by looking through here:
http://www.sourcexref.com/xref/bbpress/nav.html?includes/users/capabilities.php.source.html
and probably try using bbp_set_user_role (starting on line 58) to change the role.
But I haven’t done it, so that who knows if that would work!
I’d suggest you contact the theme authors support site. If they are advertising it as bbpress compatibl;e they should be able to tell you.
I’m updating this because it’s not a bbPress issue. I mean, it’s in bbPress but it’s not a bug. I have a dev site made from the site in March and user reply pagination is working on there. As far as I can tell, *nothing* is different about the two. I updated the dev site, one bit at a time, it was tedious, to match the live site and the pagination still works correctly.
So I don’t know. If anyone has any ideas, please shout (and then type it down). I had a similar-ish problem on a different site and it was a WP_query issue, so I think something might be affecting that. But where? And why only there? All the other pagination is working correctly.
We may never know.
With the 30,000+ plugins in the WordPress Plugin Directory bbPress does it’s best to be compatible with as many as we can, sometimes conflicts happen.
It shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes to deactivate your other plugins one by one until you see the bbPress menus active which will then give you the name of the plugin causing the conflict and allow you to re-enable the other plugins you have disabled.
Once you have the name of the plugin we can try to work out why there is a conflict and without the name of the plugin we have no hope of knowing what the issue is.
I was wanting to use BBPress but I have had the same problem (WP 3.8.2). No settings showing up at all in the Dashboard. After trying to resolve this I have just hit a brick wall and I am not going to disable all my plugins and/or abandon some plugins.
And yes, I note in all the forum threads a hint of arrogance and dismissiveness on the part of the developers. And there is NOTHING in the setup instructions on how to get around/warn about these issues.
So I will not be using BBPress.
It looks like the ID of the parent is the old vanilla ID and not the new bbpress post ID, is there a way for me to make sure it saves the new ID as the parent?
thanks!
The solution lies in : wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php
Currently it is this : $do_not_reply = '<noreply@' . ltrim( get_home_url(), '^(http|https)://' ) . '>';
Needs to be: $do_not_reply = '<noreply@' . str_replace("www.","",ltrim( get_home_url(), '^(http|https)://' )) . '>';
I got this issue on my server w the latest bbPress update. I believe the most recent ticket will fix it in the next update, but this is what we did internally and it’s working.
@netweb
Yes, I did both. 2618.4.diff would not affect me though. I did verify the email address was correct in the Mandrill dashboard, noreply@connections-pro.com, but they were still being rejected.
I made sure to deactivate two plugins I’m using to make sure they were not inferring just incase they need to be updated to work correctly with the bcc change.
Those plugins were:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-custom-reply-notifications/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-new-topic-notifications/
I saw that both @jchristopher and @sudar mention they had to hardcode an email address that wpMandrill knows about. I’m wondering if I need to use one of the new filters to change the noreply address to a real valid address for wpMandrill to send the email without rejecting it. If I could figure out what they did to resolve their issue, but use a filter instead of hard coding it, that seems like it would solve my problem in a update safe way.
For now I’m still using the functions.php file from 2.5.3 (I have 2.5.4 installed).
What I mean by previous method is, in 2.5.4, notifications are sent as a “group” bcc was as in 2.5.3 it was one email per notification (right?).
Robin, thank you very much for your feedback, so it does not feel so alone. 🙁
I have two test areas at two different hosters. Both WP and bbpress is installed and runs identically with the same theme and – at the moment – without other plugins. BOTH give only up to version 2.41 the reply-title automatically in the title bar. I have deinstalled and installed several times versions after 2.50. My hope was that the problem only occurs with one of the two webservers and so I could find a trace, but the problem is in both installations.
All versions after 2.41 (without plugins and with WP standard theme) have this issue.
It would be great if Stephen would stop by. He would certainly have an idea on what I could still keep trying.
Thanks again for your feedback!!
I installed the BBPress plugin to use as a forum for Lost & Found. The only problem we have run into involves the search function of BBPress overriding the Search function we already have on our site. This function is very important to us as people search our faculty and staff and our large site constantly.
I’m having trouble figuring out how to delete or disable all search functions for bbpress so that our site continues to use the search functions that we setup.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Our website is http://daniels.du.edu
yes, start with
bbp additional shortcodes
This list the last 5 topics across all the forums, and your friend should be able to crack it open
the end function
function rw_display_topic_index_query( $args = array() ) {
global $show ;
$args['author'] = 0;
$args['show_stickies'] = true;
$args['order'] = 'DESC';
$args['posts_per_page'] = $show ;
return $args;
}
just needs an extra parameter to get the right forum,
If you get him to also look at
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/shortcodes
he’ll find some useful code to do that
I’m here, but this is beyond my technical knowledge – I was hoping that Stephen would pick this up, but he hasn’t – he may be away, or think that I have it under control 🙂
Ok, so with no other plugins and 2.54 you have this problem??
I have 2.54 with twentyten and no issues, permalinks are topic title.
So must be peculiar to your site – so something needs setting/resetting, and obviously permalinks aren’t the answer as they’re working with wordpress. So bbpress is not playing nicely.
How much of a test area do you have that you can try stuff in?
Whatever, I’ve found another “strange behaviour” for the bbpress search (but this one is irrelevant to Private Group).
I’ll have a look on the forum before and maybe post a new topic!
Is there any nice guy who likes to help me?
I can use bbpress only up to version 2.41 ………..
Please, give me a response. I do not know what to do now, I’m helpless ………
Robin…. are you still there ??? 🙁
Thank you says
Morgensonne
