Hi, I’m looking for any solution with regards to removing of forum posts to expire after 60 days?

I tried applying the solution found in this thread

expired topics

But this code is untested, any insights?

Any help would be appreciated!

[Robin W]

this is a widget logic problem, but try

!is_page(‘page_name’) || (is_single() && !is_bbpress())

if not, then try the support page, but is not well responded to

Hi,

I’m trying to display the topics that the user created (the logged in user), The lack of bbPress documentation leaved me no choice than creating a topic on how to do it. Any thoughts on how to do this?

[Mareva]

Hi!
Thank you for the !is_bbpress() code, that works perfectly with Widget Logic plugin.
My trouble is: I’d like to specify more that one condition, e.g :
!is_page(‘page_name’) || !is_bbpress()

Unfortunatly, !is_bbpress code is not interpreted anymore when using this condition (the widget appears in the sidebar of all pages of the forum).
Any idea about what I should do to make it work?

Getting an error when posting a new topic, but only when debug mode is true in wp-config. Just want to make sure this isn’t an issue going forward. The topic does post when I revisit the forum, but the user is greeted with the following white screen error message:

Notice: Undefined variable: user_id in /home/myuser/mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php on line 1225

Notice: Undefined variable: user_id in /home/myuser/mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php on line 1231

This is on a clean installation with a fresh copy of bbpress 2.5.4. Zero plugins, zero bbpress template modifications.

Ideas? Can anyone else duplicate?

[Stephen Edgar]

Most likely you need to make a copy of your themes page.php and rename it to bbpress.php and that should stop the featured image displaying.

If that does not work I’d suggest submitting a support request to theme authors.

Pedro,

Sorry, I havn’t used WPML, I just see this issue constantly come up for those who use WPML.

The following is on GitHub but I have no idea if it works, is up to date or works with the latest WPML.

When a plugin is updated via WordPress’s Admin Interface

• It is deactivated
• New files are pulled down
• It is reactivated

Problem is, the bbPress Notify Spam plugin isn’t coded in such a way to fail gracefully when bbPress is not active. Thus when WordPress tries to reactivate bbPress, a fatal error occurs. Not because of bbPress, but because bbPress is temporarily not there, and bbPress Notify Spam tries to call bbPress functions.

The fix is for that plugin author to use bbPress’s sub-actions and filters to include its files and execute code, and not call bbPress core functions without confirming bbPress is active previously in its call stack.

Sorry y’all for the inconvenience, but there’s little we can do in bbPress core to prevent this type of thing.

Take a look at @peterwsterling polls plugin:

HI,

new to this plugin.. .so far so good!! Great actually!! but I’m having trouble
1) understanding how to get the bbPress sidebar to show on my page without it showing on all the pages.

2) I tried setting up a bbpress.php page but I’m seeing where to choose that… the dropdown for the templates isn’t showing it. I renamed one of the existing templates to bbpress.php …but it’s not available to choose.

Not sure a link to the site would help since I have it set to maintenance mode…

TIA for the help.

Debi

ps…theme is Mantra, latest versions of both WP and bbpress

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks, that is a good thing, basically as your wp_posts table contains 12,878 records it looks like the importer didn’t import any replies, if it had your wp_posts table would be ~350,000.

Presuming you are doing this on a test site I would suggest you reset bbPress (Tools-> Forums-> Reset bbPress) and delete the imported users along with all the previous imported forums, topics and replies and run the import again.

Hello!

I’ve downloaded the Heaven’s Corner theme, and I’ve noticed that whenever I upload new media on my site, the forum grabs that image and sets it as the featured image on the forum index.

the page it’s happening on

Does anyone know how to stop it from doing that? I don’t want any featured images above it.

I’m using 3.9.1 of WP and 2.5.4 of bbPress

[aborruso]

Hi all,
I know that there are several post about it, but I’m not able to find a solution for my forum.
It’s password proteceted and I cannot send you any link.

– I have WordPress 3.9.1 and bbpress 2.5.4
– I use Twenty Eleven (I know it’s a bad theme for bbpress)
– I have copied the content of /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default folder in my theme folder
– I have edited all the php files of my /wp-content/themes/mytheme/bbpress folder and commented “get_sidebar()” function
– I have created forum.php and bbpress.php file starting from page.php template and commented “get_sidebar()” function

But I have always the sidebar (below bbpress).

If I use this code

function disable_all_widgets( $sidebars_widgets ) {       
    if ( function_exists('is_bbpress') ) {
        if (is_bbpress()) {
            $sidebars_widgets = array(false);
            remove_all_actions('bp_register_widgets');
            unregister_sidebar( 'bp_core_widgets' );
        }
    }
    return $sidebars_widgets;
}

add_filter('sidebars_widgets', 'disable_all_widgets', 1, 1);

all the widgets disappear, but I have always meta links.

I know I should change theme. Do you have some tips for this one?

Thank you,

Andrea

Hi,
My website has 3 different products which offer 3 different user groups which see content depending on the level of subscription they are on.
In relevance to this the website has 3 different forums silver, gold and platinum.

How can i add a bbress searchbox which only shows search results from the silver bbpress forum (and not show results which searches all of the forums)?

I was thinking of creating 3 different search boxes which are shown or hide depending on the level type (platinum would see a search all forums box, gold users would see a search gold forums box ect).

Any help would be grateful,

thank you

[Dear_Maria]

I hope someone can help. I have tried everything but I cannot figure out how to stop bbpress duplicating the Topic tile under the freshness column

Here’s an example

It should only say ‘funny picture thread’ once

Really hope someone can help

Hi,

I’ve recently migrated a large forum from phpBB to bbPress using the import tool (which has gone extremely smoothly – so thanks to all who have worked on the importer tools!)
Users have been imported successfully, and I can login via wp-admin with the password that was used on the previous phpBB forum… All of that is glorious! 😀

On our site however, I’ve created an ajax login so visitors never have to get in via /wp-admin
The issue I’m having is that whatever code is used to check a users old password and convert it to a WordPress encoded password is not being run when I attempt to log a user in via wp_signon().

Is there a filter or something I can run to ensure that bbPress runs the password conversion when a user logs in via my ajax login prompt?

Hi Stephen Edgar,

Thank you for your answer.
I’ve followed your suggestion, but the only reply I get from WPML support team is the following:

Hello Pedro,

Thank you for get in touch with us with your query!!

Unfortunately BBPress is not compatible with WPML. Our team is working on it, but we do not have a timeline of when it should be ready for download.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

We are closing the ticket but we will keep it in our records and once the plugin is compatible with WPML we will notify you.

Thanks,
Minesh
OnTheGoSystems – Support Department

It is a shame that the supporting team of a paid plugin gives such a poor service.
I started a new topic so I can have an answer of any other forum member, besides support team, I hope.

Do you know where to get the BBPress WPML plugin? Or, of your experience which WPML compatible forum plugin do you recommend?

Kind regards.
Pedro Avila

How does the link:-

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2593

… relate to this issue?

[pwdesign]

Thank you Stephen. I ended up just pulling down all the bbpress plugins…uploading the new patches and activating them one at a time. The site came back. I can breathe now…thanks.

[pwdesign]

Just uploaded https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify-nospam/ 1.5.3. No change. Site still down…please help.

[Stephen Edgar]

@pwdesign, see this post, basically for some reason bbPress is being disabled after updating under certain conditions (not exactly sure what these are yet).

[pwdesign]

I’m a hosting reseller and a client updated bbpress and the same thing happened. The error log reads PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function bbp_get_topic_post_type() in /home5/nwjhogco/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-notify-nospam/bbpress-notify-nospam.php on line 107
Site and admin are completely gone. No access. What can I do before resorting to restoring from an older backup?

[Stephen Edgar]

I think this plugin is supposed to do that, I haven’t tried it personally 😉

[Styled Themes]

The latest WP and bbPress versions,yes…actually tried it again with a fresh install of WP, but same issue and with twenty fourteen and thirteen.
No bbpress login widget, just logging in with the Default WordPress admin login form to get to the dashboard. So correct on the example wp-login.php url you posted. I will use my localhost on XAMPP as an example:

http://localhost/pref/wp-login.php

If I use http://localhost/pref/wp-admin I do get logged into the dashboard. The url becomes

http://localhost/wp39/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2Fwp39%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

when hitting the wp-admin url method.

[Stephen Edgar]

Are you using WordPress 3.9.1 and bbPress 2.5.4?

I’m going to need some detailed steps to reproduce the issue as I cannot.

Are you logging in through the bbPress login widget?

Are you logging in via http://example.com/wp-login.php and then redirected to your front page?

What happens if you open http://example.com/wp-admin and login via that URL?
(After hitting the above URL you should now have a URL similar to:
http://example.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1)
