Hello,

I’ve built a Document Management System with WP and recently I’ve installed bbPress. Since then the insert link pop-up when editing posts show no search results. Even if search text is left empty, no result posts are listed. Only when logged in as an Admin, it works properly.

When I deactivate bbPress the pop-up contains search results for non-Admin users as well.

Some details:
– WP 3.9.1 on Genesis Framework
– bbPress 2.5.3 and Genesis Extend 1.0.2
– Press Permit Core / PP Collaborative Editing Pack / PP Compatibility Pack
– about 29 active plugins in total

The site is completely private, so a link won’t help.

Best regards,
Roland Bouman

The function is

bbp_add_user_forum_subscription

it is in

bbpress/includes/users/functions.php

you pass it user-id and forum_id

I am looking for a site wide advanced search plugin so I can have 1 search widget that will search both bbPress and wordpress and have advanced settings if possible.

Thanks for your time.

Hi,
I would like to hook in so any new user is automatically subscribed to a forum. I know the user ID and forum ID, but I do not know what function I should call to subscribe that user to the forum. Thanks for the help!

bbPress 2.5.3

If you want a quick solution to this

create a directory within your theme called bbpress

ie wp-content/your-theme-name/bbpress

And into this folder copy the following file

bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php

Then alter this file to have a new line 175 as follows

<p> <?php echo do_shortcode ('[bbp-login]') ; ?>

so that

<div id="no-reply-<?php bbp_topic_id(); ?>" class="bbp-no-reply">
		<div class="bbp-template-notice">
			<p><?php is_user_logged_in() ? _e( 'You cannot reply to this topic.', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'You must be logged in to reply to this topic.', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>
	</div>
	</div>

becomes

<div id="no-reply-<?php bbp_topic_id(); ?>" class="bbp-no-reply">
		<div class="bbp-template-notice">
			<p><?php is_user_logged_in() ? _e( 'You cannot reply to this topic.', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'You must be logged in to reply to this topic.', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>
		<p> <?php echo do_shortcode ('[bbp-login]') ; ?>
		</div>
	</div>

Save this file, and bbpress will use this and a login panel will be displayed.

If my response in

Why is BBPress not following css?

does not solve it, please respond on that thread

Thanks

@tieptoep thanks, I’ve taken a look at the trac and it seems to definitely have to do with permalinks but I’m not sure if the creator of the ticket (alexvorn2) is referring to the same solution as I and others are asking for (see above examples).

for example, alexvorn2 has this as an example:

1) pretty url: http://example.com/forum/subforum/custom_topic_title
structure will be: http://example.com/%forumparentsnames%/%topicname%

But the second line doesn’t seem to correspond to the permalink structure shown in the first line. Specifically, he seems to have left out the slug for the subforum! Or maybe I’m missing something.

It is very disappointing to see JJJ throw this in ‘future releases’ which is basically where trac tickets go to die. And to change the priority: “Priority changed from normal to low” and “Severity changed from normal to minor” and ” Type changed from defect to enhancement” when in fact I and many others would argue there is nothing that is, has been and will continue to be the highest priority ticket (until it is fixed) and there is nothing more severe and this is most definitely a defect, *not* an enhancement.

These changes sadly tells us, the users, just how much we have failed to communicate to the devs (or how much they have failed to actually listen to us – or a combination of both).

As for attempts to solve this, @dbungard shares some code in the previous page of this very thread. As well, I linked earlier to several other past attempts at the solution. I think user @mr_pelle was the developer of the bbPress nicer permalinks plugin but that was many years ago (3+?) and he doesn’t seem to be active on the forum. As well, the plugin is nowhere to be found.

There has been no feedback or response from devs on any of this code, even when another user specifically asks for that in the past page.

This issue is so fundamental to the very core of bbPress functioning that I question whether it is something that can be hacked together with a plugin, bailing wire and a convoluted .htaccess file.

I totally forgot about a file you worked on back 7 months or so ago importing from VB4. You where helping figure all this out. As it turns out I ended not moving to WordPress at that time.

Fast forward to this thread…I went back to this thread https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/import-forums-error/

and downloaded the vb convert.php file you had been working on and did a new import with it and it worked!

YouTube and SoundCloud are working as they did in VB4 posts! All threads open up!

The only issue new is crumbs. Once you click into a post the crumbs look like this (Home>Topic>Topic Title) you loose Forum crumb. Also Stickies post colors are very light in color?

You are welcome to check out the forum here. The music forum has lots of SoundCloud and you can see YouTube in the Reason lounge,

Hi, I am using the following code to hide my menu/navbar and search form from my site.

‘/* Remove nav bar and search form */
.page #nav-bar {
display: none;
}

.page #s {
display: none;
}’

It seems to work wonders on all pages except BBPress pages.

Now when I set my permalinks to “Default” the navbar and search form are removed on bbpress pages, but when I have them to anything else, the navbar shows up again (but only on bbpress pages).

Does anyone have an explanation for this?
Or can someone point me in the direction of how to remove it without having to have “Default” permalinks set (which I can’t due to buddypress)

bbpress topics have ‘you need to be logged in to post reply’ at the bottom of the topic, but it doesn’t give any option to login. I do I offer login at in forums or topics so readers and login to post replies?

[Robin W]

sorry it was the weekend, and all the helpers on here are volunteers on have jobs and a social life to lead as well 🙂 please be patient.

The coding for this is quite complicated, but I’d suggest you start by looking at the bbp_has_topics function in

bbpress/includes/topics/template

this will give you a lot of the code for pagination

I have a forum running WP Symposium and WordPress, all current versions, that I want to convert to bbPress. Won’t elaborate on reasons unless deemed to do so, LOL.

I have first started with a converter of my own, which was creating custom post types for forums, topics, and replies. Unfortunately, counters in bbPress weren’t set, so the frontend pages were incorrect, replies were not chained one after the other in topics, etc.

While digging these issues, I found out that bbPress has its own converter that works using modules. So I started over by creating a module, based on the existnig ones and URLs given in this forum, and tried to make it work for forums, first. But, they simply won’t convert, whatever I try I get ‘no forums to convert’.

While I have a relatively good knowledge of WP Symposium database tables, via custom developments etc., I’m at a loss on bbPress side. Hopefully someone can catch my call so we work together on adding WPS to the list of importable plateforms for bbPress…?

Thanks a lot,
Antoine

This is currently how bbPress works if you have ‘revisions’ enabled each time a topic or reply is edited a new log entry will appear as per your image.

We have a ticket somewhere in Trac to update this similar to the UI experience for WordPress post or page revisions, I just kind find it right at this minute 😉

Edit: Oops, your are displaying twice, give what Robin wrote above a try 😉

[Anonymous User 5853594]

@synaptic
I’ve taken a look through trac and found a similar feature request (). Could you take a look at it to see if this is similar enough, if not I’ll see if I could open a new ticket to get this to the attention of the developers.

[Stephen Edgar]

I would suggest you upgrade to WordPress 3.9.1.

Ultimate TinyMCE is NOT compatible with WordPress 3.9.x and is being replaced by WPEdit (it is worth reading the info via that link and the alternatives it offers)

I would suggest switching to Twenty Thirteen or Twenty Fourteen themes and disable all your plugins except bbPress to narrow things down.

Once you see bbPress working with the code in your original post to enable bbPress Visual Editor then go from there… Enable your theme, does it still work? Next try one of the TinyMCE plugins with the default options, does it still work? Now update any settings in that plugin, does it still work? Now enable your other plugins one by one, does it still work?

[Robin W]

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

[Robin W]

May be as simple as the order that the plugins are loading.

see

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

No. 6

you could also put the word !important after the change to prevent bbpress overriding it eg

/* Remove nav bar and search form */
.page #nav-bar {
display: none !important;
}

.page #s {
display: none !important;
}

I just had a quick look at the attachment migration script and you would need to change Line 28 and rename the table name j25_kunena_attachments to the same name as your attachments table name of your original Kunena database.

FINALLY – Someone has has been able to turn bbpress into something with clean look goods. Top marks to you sir. This MUST be added to bbpress in it’s core

im trying to put buddypress x-profile fields in bbpress on loop-single-reply.php after the author role and avatar

I have created one called Location

my function to display it is

<div class="bbp-usr-location"><?php
if ( bbp_is_topic_anonymous() ) {
		echo "<br>Guest Post"; }
		elseif ( bbp_is_reply_anonymous() ) {
		echo "<br>Guest Post"; }
		else {
  $user_location = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Location', ( bbp_get_reply_author_id ( bbp_get_reply_id() ) ) );
   echo 'Location: ' . $user_location; }
?></div>

I just want to not display it if its not filled in on buddypress

Any Help?

[tavOu]

Hello All !
I need to list the last 8 topics in this widgets, and have a link to the next page of 8 topics, and so on.It would be like a pagination for every 8 topics.
I think the file is widgets.php in lines :

case 'newness' :
default :
$topics_query = array(
'post_type' => bbp_get_topic_post_type(),
'post_parent' => $settings['parent_forum'],
'posts_per_page' => (int) $settings['max_shown'],
'post_status' => array( bbp_get_public_status_id(), bbp_get_closed_status_id() ),
'ignore_sticky_posts' => true,
'no_found_rows' => true,
'order' => 'DESC'
);


I know that ‘posts_per_page’ show the last topics, in my case 8, but i dont know how to access to 8 before.

Any help or idea please?

Hi, I am using the latest versions of both WP and BBPress.

My problems are that when I try to add stuff to my style.css, my BBPress pages just don’t seem to follow them…

Here is an example:
>> Remove menu/nav bar and search form from all pages (style.css)

/* Remove nav bar and search form */
.page #nav-bar {
display: none;
}

.page #s {
display: none;
}

The code works on all other pages (BuddyPress ones included), just not any BBPress pages..
Does anyone have any ideas as to why?

I am no coder or expert so this has totally thrown me lol.

[Asynaptic]

@tieptoep No problem. I’m glad it is clear now.

It is way beyond ‘inelegant’. It is beyond baffling why it hasn’t been fixed yet. And beyond frustrating that the devs strongly push back instead of simply acknowledging the issue and working on fixing it.

Unfortunately I’m not a coder and have no idea how to even open a ticket or word it properly in this context. But as a user, it is self-evident that the way bbPress uses permalinks needs fixing.

Also, through this thread and many others, it is also very obvious that this is a very important and irritating issue that has been brought up going back as far back as 7 years!

As I mentioned, there is or was a plugin which claimed to fix the issue. I don’t have access to the code and even if I did, there is a chance that the code is now out of date with bbPress’ core development since the plugin would be a few years old.

All I can do is to clearly state the case for permalinks, their importance and request that it be placed at the highest priority. I hope you and other bbPress users add their voice so that the devs take this seriously.

Unfortunately, there is no way to prioritize issues in bbPress development. Other projects have a way to measure the community’s voice in terms of what needs to be fixed first. For example, here’s symposium’s page:

http://www.wpsymposium.com/voting/

Both buddypress and bbpress need this functionality. Like yesterday. That way issues like this do not fall through the cracks.

Of course, this is assuming that the dev team is serious about creating a 2 way communication channel with the wider community rather than a 1 way.

As Matt M. mentioned in a recent video, he measures the success of wordpress in general by how well and fast it reacts to the needs of its community. I would suggest the same applies to bbpress and buddypress.

[Robin W]

you were pretty much there

the following, which is just two lines nicked from elsewhere and joined by a ‘by’ text should do what you want

<span class="bbp-last-post-by-author"><?php printf( __( 'Last Post: %1$s', 'bbpress' ),bbp_get_topic_freshness_link( array() ) ); ?></span>
<?php _e(' by ', 'bbp'); ?>
<span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author"><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_topic_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?></span>

Come back if that’s not what you wanted !
