We do not support connecting to remote databases

That’s the point!! I didn’t see this before…
I tried to migrate from my actual IPB forum to my bbPress forum on another server. So, i’m going to export my IPB forum from my actual server to the new one and do the bbPress import once again (it should work). Thanks a lot for your help.

Thanks tharsheblows. Is this a paid plugin?

Is there a free plugin for this? I tried a few but no success… including this one https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-password-policy-manager/

maybe all these plugins don’t work with bbpress?

[mcleandesign]

Always chillin’… (doesn’t do any good not to). I’ve got a back up and will make a test site. In response to your questions,

1. our site has two levels, one open for all viewers, the other for members which takes them to a page showing them a list (and links) to a weekly topic/images/questions… which I suppose one could call a forum. It’s these weekly topics I’m hoping for members to discuss in a bulletin board.

2. I see nothing in our files that describes a forum slug. Accessing Settings shows options of General, Writing, Reading, Discussion, Media and Permalinks. So… not sure what to tell you on that one.

One of my initial thoughts was a conflict between S2members and bbPress plug ins but disabling S2 still left me with the same results in bbPress as before (not showing widget). So, guess I can rule that conflict out. Which is good.

Next?

Thanks for this, partially confirmed what you are seeing, I am going to reply in the ticket so we can track this explicitly in a single location, if you could keep your feedback to that ticket in future that would be great.

Here are some pictures to better explain what is happening;
*Sorry everything looks so bad, had child theme disabled while testing.*

Viewing a topic as a user with administrator via wordpress – works as intended.

Viewing a topic as a user marked as subscriber via wordpress and keymaster via bbpress. – topic content does not show.

Again, thank-you so much!

We have a ticket in Trac for this here, no patch yet though.https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2204

[Stephen Edgar]

The patch should work fine for any user with the capability read_private_replies which includes the included bbPress Keymaster and Moderator. Are you sure the user/role you are using has the read_private_replies capability?

Install this plugin and navigate to the users profile in the WordPress dashboard to confirm the role and capability of a user.

If I view the index of the bbpress forum I can see my background image for my theme. When I click to go into a specific forum, the background is replaced with a color (off white).

I imagine this is all CSS related and somewhere in the code. I however would like to set all forums to show the same background. I am using a theme called “Explicit” for my wordpress site.

Thanks. I hate being new to this.

re changing roles, see

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[Primus Palus]

I have created a new bbpress forum on my site. If I click on the link through the top menu I get this:

If I click on the announcements section/forum/category… I get this:

I want the index to show up the same as the in forum view. But it seems to be not wanting to work right. I’m also unable to override the background image for that page for some reason.

Any help would be appreciated. I’m at a point now where I’m about to install a different forum and just use it on a sub-domain with no integration with WordPress. This is the second forum I’ve gone through and it’s annoying that there isn’t some simplicity here.

[elaborate]

I’m starting this thread because I didn’t have much luck with my original thread on the BuddyPress Support forums.

Basically, what I’m trying to do is copy all the forms from the Edit page from the bbPress profile to another page and still have them work.

Specifically, I’m trying to move them to the Settings page on the BuddyPress profile.

The problem is that they don’t work when they’re moved from their original url, the pre-defined values aren’t displayed and submitting changes doesn’t work, so I’m hopelessly trying to find out what is broken and if this is even possible to do.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Probably not the most elegant solution, but something I came up with to temporarily resolve the issue.

First we grab the classes assigned to the body class:

$body_class = get_body_class();

Then we just check if bbpress is in the body class array, and if it is, I’ve decided to use jQuery to just switch the classes on the navigation item.

if ( in_array('bbpress',$body_class) ) {
		?>
		<script>
		  jQuery(document).ready(function() {
		    jQuery('.menu-item-347').removeClass('current_page_parent');
		    jQuery('.menu-item-2592').addClass('current_page_parent');
		  });
		</script>
<?php
	}

Hi all

I now this topic is over a year old but I was hoping someone might be able to help.

I have downloaded and activated the bbPress Post Ratings plugin.

I have bbPress 2.5.3 installed with forums and posts working.

Should the plugin work with the version of bbPress?

How do I use the plugin so I can rate the posts in the forum.

Thanks in advance for any help.

[Evan Herman]

I have a forum I am setting up to support some plugins I’ve created. The forum is displayed on a ‘Support’ page. I also have a seperate ‘Blog’ page, which I use for blog posts.

When a user clicks into a support thread, the navigation item changes from highlighting the ‘Support’ menu item to highlighting the ‘Blog’ menu item. From some research I’ve done it’s due to bbpress using single.php as its page template, which is setting the ‘Blog’ page the current page.

How can I get this so ‘Support’ stays highlighted after clicking into a thread?

Sorry if this is an easy fix, I’m new to bbpress and just getting used to the template hierarchy.

Thanks!

[Stephen Edgar]

Switch to one of WordPress default themes, Twenty Thirteen or Twenty Fourteen.

If bbPress works try your theme again, if bbPress doesn’t deactivate the plugin, delete it and reinstall.

And or try deactivating all your plugins except bbPress then reactivate one by one until the error occurs to find a conflicting plugin.

[Robin W]

suggest you start with looking at

bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/members.php

This changes bbpress to go to buddypress profile, and should give you all the code you need.

[gemini-at-work]

let’s see if there is a plan for me to show the sidebar in my twenty eleven theme. renaming the sidebar-page did not do a thing. i’m using a child theme of twenty eleven and tried putting the bbpress.php there instead of into twenty eleven theme, but nothing worked.
just in case it helps looking at the site, here it is, or the start of it anyway:

thanks for any suggestions!

[ultramalcolm]

I’ve installed bbpress, but when I go to the forum in a browser, I just get this message:

Fatal error: Class 'WP_Post' not found in /nfs/c09/h02/mnt/137912/domains/profoodblogger.com/html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/theme-compat.php on line 375

How can I begin tracking this down?

Hi i’m using the Recent Topic Widget but im looking for the exact layout as the bbpress.org Recent Topics on the frontpage. I only get Newest Topic which shows only Topic name – Author and Freshness
But i like to see: Recent Topic Name – Author – Latest Reply and by Poster name

Is there a way I can accomplish this?

Greetings

So I changed the names of the user roles. I would like to change the text color of each role. Here is the code that I am using to change the name. Could I just wrap the role name in a color code?

add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'my_bbp_custom_role_names');

function my_bbp_custom_role_names(){
 return array(

        // Keymaster
        bbp_get_keymaster_role() => array(
            'name'         => __( 'The Dragon Born', 'bbpress' ),
            'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() )
        ),

        // Moderator
        bbp_get_moderator_role() => array(
            'name'         => __( 'Moderator', 'bbpress' ),
            'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() )
        ),

        // Participant
        bbp_get_participant_role() => array(
            'name'         => __( 'Legionnaire', 'bbpress' ),
            'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
        ),

        // Spectator
        bbp_get_spectator_role() => array(
            'name'         => __( 'Spectator', 'bbpress' ),
            'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_spectator_role() )
        ),

        // Blocked
        bbp_get_blocked_role() => array(
            'name'         => __( 'Blocked', 'bbpress' ),
            'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_blocked_role() )
        )
    );
}

p.s. Is there a way to change what each of these roles have access to?

Hi there,

I’ve spent a while searching the forums/web regarding custom views, but am a little bit stumped at the moment. Some of the only reference that I’ve found is a bit outdated (though it still seems to work) and incomplete.

I’d like to create 2 custom views:

• Display a particular user’s favorites (let’s say user_id is hard-coded to 2)
• Display a particular user’s subscribed topics (again, let’s say user_id is hard-coded to 2)

Any points in the right direction? Ideas for resources on the topic of custom views?

[jbdizzle]

I figured everything out except the post count. On the bbpress forum widget, I would like to have the post count next to the forum like this website has.
