Hi, in my bbpress I have some main forums redirected to other pages. In the main page, I can see in those forum titles that it shows up (in spanish) “0 debates”, “0 mensajes” and “Sin Hilos”. Since those forums are not set to reply, or create topics etc… I don’t want that info showing up in those exact forum titles. Is there a way to achieve that?

You can see the forum here. I have that problem with the first four forums.

Thank’s for your help.

No, bbPress only functions as a WordPress plugin.

[Will Brownsberger]

Stumbled into a solution for this.

In this file:
/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/users/functions.php

Comment out lines 34 and 35. Lines 33 through 35 as appearing in the original are shown below. Line 33 contains the comment from the original.

33	// $url was manually set in wp-login.php to redirect to admin
 34	elseif ( admin_url() === $url )
 35		$url = home_url();

Hate to edit the core functions, but it works.

Please note: Running Theme-my-login Version 6.3.8, bbPress Version 2.5.1, WordPress 3.8.

The redirection settings don’t help.

Having the same problems.

Problem also appears here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-theme-my-login-login-redirect-issue-with-bbpress

For me, these coding solutions don’t seem to work either:

I have a PHP site http://www.stemcellcure.in and http://www.cellmedicaltourism.com . I want to add forums and comment functionality to my websites. Can bbPress be used for these sites?

Hi,

I’m running WP 3.8 with BuddyPress 1.9 and bbPress 2.5.1.

I’m writing my own theme and I want to create a new WP user role, “Special Admin” which is a normal admin user but with restrictions that I’ve manually applied in my theme functions.php.

What I now need to do is to give that user the KeyMaster rights for bbPress, but I can’t see how to do that.

My site actually comprises 3 themes, and this user will use all 3, so to avoid code repetition I’m setting up the rights in a bespoke plugin I’m writing.

I thought from reading the bbPress source that I could use the filter bbp_get_user_role_map to add. Here’s the code I’m trying:

// Give the Special Administrator the Keymaster capabilities.

add_filter('bbp_get_user_role_map', 'add_keymaster_to_special_administrator');

function add_keymaster_to_special_administrator($role_map){
    $role_map['special_administrator'] = bbp_get_keymaster_role();

    return $role_map;
}

The problem is that the filter is never processed – I’ve thrown a die in there to check and it’s not being executed.

Can anyone tell me what I’m missing?

These responses are from many years ago and those files don’t seem to exist any more. Is it still possible to change the font size of the bbPress tag cloud? I’ve been trying various functions but cannot get it to work, and I’ve tried searching through the bbPress files for bb_tag_heat_map but cannot find that anywhere.

The default font sizes are too big and the tags are hanging of the page of our forum. If someone can please help me to change the maximum font size for the tag cloud it would be most appreciated.

Thanks you!

Installed bbPress on a Gabfire premium theme but while the text area is there it is not defined by a keyline and hence is not obvious.

The problem repeats with Twenty Fourteen albeit not so badly as the keyline for the text area appears in Twenty Fourteen when I hover. I’m sure this is a stylesheet issue but I cannot work out what I need to do to correct it.

As an example see:

I think this is due to the following WordPress issue with custom post types:
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/12706

That said I haven’t looked at this closely in bbPress as it ‘should’ be ‘Update’ and not change the status to ‘Open’ as you point out.

Can you please create a ticket on Trac for this and we can either fix it or wait for the upstream fix via WordPress https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

I originally posted this on the BuddyPress forum, It was suggested that I might have better luck getting an answer here. My apologies if this is redundant to some.

I have the legacy forums set up on my site, barronsquare.org. I want to move up to bbPress. I especially want the “Follow this topic” notifications and reply ‘threading’.

• Running WP v3.7.1, BP v1.9, Suffusion child theme with Suffusion BuddyPress Pack
• ‘Public’ portion visible to users who are not members
• ‘Private’ portion for members only.
• “All Residents” GROUP with auto join for all MEMBERS with forums.
• Several other smaller sub-groups with forums.
• Forums are not public.

Tried the upgrade to bbPress 2.2 (with Suffusion bbPress Pack) on my WAMP localserver version of site and had all kinds of problems migrating content, etc. Many of the data ‘repair’ functions failed. I could not get the ‘threaded replies to work. Eventually got the forums to mostly work, but still have questions.

1. Would I be better with a ‘site-wide’ forum rather than the private All Residents group?
2. Can I make a site-wide forum private?
3. How do I modify the formatting of the forum postings?
4. Where do I look to troubleshoot the ‘threading’ function?

Happy Holidays to all.

Yes Stephen and thanks. It was that. Strangely, I had to first set it back to default permlinks and save it and then set it to ‘Month/Name’ and save it again so it re-writes it back to the htaccess file to get it to work. Originally I had permlinks set to ‘Month/Name’ but obviously BBPress doesn’t pick this up on activation it seems and thus resetting permanent links is required. Interesting. Thanks.

Hi,

A weird thing is happening on the main site of my WordPress Multisite installation where bbPress is used for the support pages.

The forum plugin was activated with the main Super User account (with ID #1) on the main site. Forums where created without problems and the user got Key Master role.

But since then, that super user has been replaced by another account promoted to Super User. The account with ID #1 has been ‘demoted’ to site admin on the primary site where it is now used only for publication of pages and posts. That account visibly still has Key Master role for the forums but…

When logged in with that account, none of the forum admin pages are accessible.

What is going wrong? How can I use a normal site admin to manage forums and topics. I’d like to prevent usage of the Super User account for public type actions like posting and the like…

Have you got a page associated with the forum?

If not try creating a page called “forums” with a sidebar.

This should work.

If not try adding the following shortcode to that page

[bbp-forum-index]

You can also use a plugin called bbPress WP tweaks to add a specific forum sidebar

[Stephen Edgar]

Are you also using this plugin? https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/

Maybe disable that also if you are.

[Stephen Edgar]

Firstly, that field is the ‘Post ID’ and everytime WordPress creates a post, page or bbPress topic, reply etc this gets incremented. This issue could happen ‘if’ there were 100 edits to a WordPress post, page or bbPress topic etc, though I think you might have mentioned that if that was the case.

I would suggest the quickest way to see what is going on would be in ‘phpMyAdmin’ and have a look at the wp_posts table and have a look at the ID field in this table, these will match the ID’s you mention above and then you can look at the id’s in betwwen those values and the other fields should give you an idea of what content is in those posts which will help you track down the issue.

Hello!
I’m currently setting up a bbPress forum on my WordPress website and I have one problem.
The “Submit” button is not recognizeable as “Submit” button because the colours are not strong enough.
Here is what it looks like:

If there is some sun shining on the computer screen, the “Submit” button can’t be seen at all. 🙁
So can someone please help me? I want to change the main colour of the button to slightly darker gray while the text in it saying “Submit” should be black.
How can I change the button colours?

(Please keep explanations easy. I don’t really know much about CSS and such.)

WordPress version: 3.8
bbPress version: 2.5.1

Hi, i need some help!

I run my mainsite with frontend registration and frontend user profiles like: xxxxxxxxx.com/user/anyusername

I also installed bbpress and ONLY ALLOW USERS TO REGISTER FROM THE MAINPAGE – mentioned above.
I show the Forum in a page wiht the shortcode… the forum url is: xxxxxxxxx.com/forum/
SO far it works great!

My setting for the forum user profile slug is like that:
xxxxxxxxxx.com/forum/mitglied/anyusername (“mitglied” is for “user” in german)

My Question 🙂
In the users FORUM PROFILE page i have on the left site under the users Profile the menu links. The first of them links to the users FORUM PROFILE like:

xxxxxxxxxx.com/forum/mitglied/anyusername

Now i need the same URL LINK to the users MAINSITE PROFILE wich should be like:

xxxxxxxxxx.com/user/anyusername

IN …..bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php it calls the url for the USERS FORUM PROFILE with this line of code:

<a class="url fn n" href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url(); ?>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( "%s's Profile", 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'display_name' ) ); ?>" rel="me"><?php _e( 'Profile', 'bbpress' ); ?></a>

How can i get the users MAINSITE PROFILE URL? (xxxxxxxxxxx.com/user/anyusername)
I cant find anything in the bbpress and wordpress docs 🙁 or im not intelligent enough to find a solution… i think to remove the slugs from the url is not possible to get a desired url structure for the link. I think there must be a other filter function for the users MAIN SITE PROFILE url…???

I think i must mention this:
I already managed to show the USERS AVATAR from the MAINSITE in the forum page with this code:

<?php $user_info = get_user_by('id', $wp_query->query_vars['author']); echo get_avatar($user_info->ID, '150'); ?>

The avatar call works great – hope it is possible to get the USERS PROFILE URL too 🙂

Thank you so much!

yes, if you google ‘Wishlist member & bbpress’ – there’s a whole bunch of posts

googled ‘thesis theme & bbpress’ and got several hits saying that bbpress doesn’t function with thesis, and a link to a plugin that might fix it – worth a try or some more googling !

Hey guys. I am messing around with implementing Local Simple Avatars, and BBPress, and I have an issue. My Recent Topics widget, the picture of the user who recently posted something, that image is blurry.

I have edited the code in firebug, and even when I expand the image, its still blurry.

Sorry.. Trying bbpress for the first time. Its a Completely board with no data.

[Kevin Geary]

When I remove BBPress, my home page, my blog page (mostly the sidebars) all break and disappear. What’s the problem here? Those pages and sidebars have nothing to do with BBPress.

[Robin W]

ok, plan b

upload the “widget logic” plugin

This lets you set widgets to appear in certain conditions

Once uploaded, using your normal sidebar, you can set when a widget appears

You’ll see a new box appear when you add/edit each widget saying “widget logic”. if you want it to appear on a forum page type

is_bbpress()
If you want the widget to appear on other pages, but not obn the forum page type

!is_bbpress()
so you login widget would have the logic

is_bbpress()
and appear only on forum pages

If you didn’t want search on the forum page, you’d put

!is_bbpress()
on that widget and it will not appear

[badams38024]

Well, I figured mine out. Turns out that my bbpress will not run with my AWPC classified plug in, which is essential to my site. It all worked fine together before the update, so I have to rebuild one or the other I guess. I will probably be looking for a new forum plugin.
