Hello I’ve taken a crack at this:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-auto-delete-spam-replies/

Please feel free to help me improve it:

I don’t have any place on the left side bar to edit BBpress and when I go into the settings of the plugin I see this message:

You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

I have 3.7.1 of wordpress installed

I just uploaded the most recent version of bbpress

My site is http://www.bodyredesignonline.com

[JeremyPark123999]

I am ashamed to say, that it seems that I found a solution that was staring me in the face in the settings panel for bbpress. I simply disabled the “Allow users to subscribe to topics” field, and that has done the trick well enough, sorry for the trouble.

I was previously using the Question and Answer Forum plugin, and have recently decided to switch to bbPress. Is there a way to convert/import all of the questions and answers that were created while using Q&A Forum so that they are available in my new bbPress forums?

[JeremyPark123999]

I disabled all of the plugins except bbpress, and I also tried adding that code to bbpress/includes/common/functions.php and also to my themes functions.php . Maybe I am doing something wrong though, is there perhaps a way to hide the check box? That would work just as well for me.

[Stephen Edgar]

Cool, let me know how it all ends up 🙂

Also I have only tested the vBulletin importer with importing from vBulletin v4.2 so there might be a few changes in the database structure between 4.1x & 4.2x but as I can’t get my hands on vBulletin 4.15 I cannot confirm this.

If you are comfortable in phpMyAdmin and you could export half a dozen rows from each of the ‘forum’, ‘thread’, ‘post’, ‘tagcontent’, ‘tag’ & ‘user’ tables I could have a closer look at why this isn’t working for you.

[Stephen Edgar]

I’d suggest looking up how phpBB deals with imported vBulletin user passwords, some importers convert the password after the fact, so until userxyz logs into phpBB the password isn’t converted to the phpBB forums format.

[BroadRippleInc]

I figured it out! I had separately installed the bbconverter plugin, and it was activated at the same time as bbpress, which of course now includes the bbconverter.

Thank you for your time, I am good to go!

[BroadRippleInc]

With a little help from my host giving me: memory_limit = 256M
max_execution_time = 5000 with a php.ini file, I can now see the fatal error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function convert_forums() on a non-object in /home/broadrip/public_html/sporeganizer.net/wp-content/plugins/bbconverter/bbconverter.php on line 508

Any thoughts on what is causing this? All plugins except bbpress & bbconverter are disabled when I get this error.

I want to allow users to edit their address via the user profile edit page and I’ve been loosely following ardentfrost’s suggestion in this thread: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-user-specified-fields/#post-2670. My problem is that the fields are rendered on the edit page, but aren’t getting saved.

My code to add the address fields is in a file I’ve called custom-profile-fields which I’ve uploaded to the plugins page:

	function get_address_keys() {
		return array(
			'user_address_line1' => array(0, __('Address Line 1')),
			'user_address_line2' => array(0, __('Address Line 2')),
			'user_address_suburb' => array(0, __('Suburb')),
			'user_address_state' => array(0, __('State')),
			'user_address_postcode' => array(0, __('Postcode/ZIP')),
			'user_address_country' => array(0, __('Country'))
		);
	}
	
	add_filter('get_profile_info_keys', 'get_address_keys');

To display the fields I’ve inserted the following code into form-user-edit.php above the website field since it makes sense to keep the address fields in the contact info area.

		<div>
			<label for="user_address_line1"><?php _e( 'Address Line 1', 'bbpress' ) ?></label>
			<input type="text" name="user_address_line1" id="user_address_line1" value="<?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'user_address_line1', 'edit' ); ?>" class="regular-text code" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" />
		</div>

		<div>
			<label for="user_address_line2"><?php _e( 'Address Line 2', 'bbpress' ) ?></label>
			<input type="text" name="user_address_line2" id="user_address_line2" value="<?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'user_address_line2', 'edit' ); ?>" class="regular-text code" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" />
		</div>

		<div>
			<label for="user_address_suburb"><?php _e( 'Suburb', 'bbpress' ) ?></label>
			<input type="text" name="user_address_suburb" id="user_address_suburb" value="<?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'user_address_suburb', 'edit' ); ?>" class="regular-text code" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" />
		</div>

		<div>
			<label for="user_address_state"><?php _e( 'State', 'bbpress' ) ?></label>
			<input type="text" name="user_address_state" id="user_address_state" value="<?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'user_address_state', 'edit' ); ?>" class="regular-text code" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" />
		</div>

		<div>
			<label for="user_address_postcode"><?php _e( 'Postcode/ZIP', 'bbpress' ) ?></label>
			<input type="text" name="user_address_postcode" id="user_address_postcode" value="<?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'user_address_postcode', 'edit' ); ?>" class="regular-text code" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" />
		</div>

		<div>
			<label for="user_address_country"><?php _e( 'Country', 'bbpress' ) ?></label>
			<input type="text" name="user_address_country" id="user_address_country" value="<?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'user_address_country', 'edit' ); ?>" class="regular-text code" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" />
		</div>

Hello there, I just went through some problems where the bbPress capabilities were not registered in the wp_user_roles option_name row entry. I don’t know what caused it but I was trying to see if I uninstalled/reinstalled bbPress it might reset the capabilities. It didn’t.

So I got hunting through the code and I found this function:

/**
 * Adds capabilities to WordPress user roles.
 *
 * @since bbPress (r2608)
 */
function bbp_add_caps() {

	// Loop through available roles and add caps
	foreach ( bbp_get_wp_roles()->role_objects as $role ) {
		foreach ( bbp_get_caps_for_role( $role->name ) as $cap => $value ) {
			$role->add_cap( $cap, $value );
		}
	}

	do_action( 'bbp_add_caps' );
}

But nothing seem to ever call this function. I did a search through all of the plugin code and there aren’t any references to this function. What gives?

In the end I was able to force the capabilities to be rebuilt by adding this function call inside another function that I knew was being called and it worked (I’ve since removed this).

BTW, this is on WP 3.7.1, bbPress 2.4.1.

Thanks!
Patrick

Without spending too much time try

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-topic.php

is the likely file

Probably before or after line 24 if you want it at the top

Les us know if that works, as it’ll help people later one (and I might try it at some stage!)

[Robin W]

Strangely this is quite difficult to achieve, as the url for a user profile edit is

http://mysite.com/forums/users/username/edit/

where the username is the actual username of the person logged in.

so you can’t add it as a menu item as far as I can work out.

2 solutions to this :

Solution 1 – the harder way !
One solution and the one I use is adding this as a line in the login widget, so that it appears under the “account” in your sidebar

I use the (bbpress) Login widget for the sidebar. This widget is set up in

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/widgets.php

I added this line after line 145

line 145 reads
<?php bbp_logout_link(); ?>

and I add a new line 146 saying

<p><a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>edit" >Amend Profile/Change password</a></p>
This then comes up when someone is logged in

Of course you’ll need to make a note of this change, as it is lost whenever you upgrade bbpress versions

the advantage (and why I use it ) is it then only gives this line when someone is logged in

Solution 2 – the easier way

If you’re not keen to change code, the download the enhanced text widget

https://wordpress.org/plugins/enhanced-text-widget/

Then in your sidebar add the enhanced text widget, and put this code in content, check the “don’t display header” and click save

<p><a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>edit" >Amend Profile/Change password</a></p>

Much easier to do, but displays whether someone is logged on or not.

Hi. I understood that I could post HTML formatted content into bbPress. But when I do, the formatting is ignored. Does someone know what I’m likely doing wrong?

[dotdatdot]

Hello everyone.

Is there a proper codex site anywhere with all the functions/hooks and all the good stuff properly documented anywhere? For example I found a function called bb_is_home(), and I wanted to know what EXACTLY that checked for, but after researching it, I couldn’t find a single real reference or documentation of it.

Am I missing something? Because the http://codex.bbpress.org/type/functions/ has only about 5 functions. Surely there is a list of functions somewhere?

Thanks

[Donta]

Stephen, I was able to convert from phpbb to bbpress and that was really smooth sailing, but now all my migrated usernames’ passwords don’t work. Ironically, for the earlier vbulletin conversion, the passwords were working fine but the threads and usernames were out of sync.

Now, the thread/posts/username relationship is fine, but all my passwords don’t work. I am not sure what the issue is. Hopefully you can direct me in the right direction to get this minor issue resolved.

[Mailhilfe]

Do anybody know where I add these in bbpress:

<?php $prev = get_permalink(get_adjacent_post(false,'',true)); if ($prev != get_permalink()) { ?><a href="<?php echo $prev; ?>">Vorheriger Artikel</a><?php } ?> 
<?php $next = get_permalink(get_adjacent_post(false,'',false)); if ($next != get_permalink()) { ?><a href="<?php echo $next; ?>">Nächster Artikel</a><?php } ?>

Exist a plugin, is called GD BBpress attachments is work fine..

[Denver Prophit Jr.]

@netweb I can’t get my forums index to look like yours. Help?

[Denver Prophit Jr.]

@LabSecrets I like your video help format. Did you create or purchase the video intros? I started out creating buddypress group forums and I now want to change those to sitewide. I don’t see any way that I can do that in WP Admin.

[jazinsa]

Is it possible to show a user’s forum topic count(or post count) in the buddypress profile page? It feels like it should be simple enough but hours of googling and reading topics here has left me more confused than when I started.

I can see its possible on a bbpress profile page, where it’s using:

<p class="bbp-user-topic-count"><?php printf( __( 'Topics Started: %s',  'bbpress' ), bbp_get_user_topic_count_raw() ); ?></p>
<p class="bbp-user-reply-count"><?php printf( __( 'Replies Created: %s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_user_reply_count_raw() ); ?></p>

Should I be calling a different function altogether, or is there a specific way to put bbPress functions inside a BuddyPress template page?

A good example of what I mean is at Tamriel Foundry, where the various counts are listed under the heading Post Details. (The design of that site in general is amazing)

Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated! And apologies if you are reading this for a second time, I wasn’t sure whether to post my query at the Buddypress or bbPress forums.

Hi!

First of all, if I’m double posting this, I’m really sorry!

I want to create a menu item (or text link) to let users quickly go to their bbpress profile.
(http://raven.michaelravenstein.nl/forums/users/userid/)

So how do i get the right link?

Any help is welcome!

– Michael

[pekmez]

the path is just like for the version 2.4.1

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php

As JarretC wrote before

Change the line 30

<?php bbp_list_forums(); ?>

to

<?php bbp_list_forums( array ( 'separator' => '<br />' ) ); ?>

Thanx JarretC

[Robin W]

ok, try this – I have culled it from varous other posts, in particular

Full-Width Forum

Don’t swear it will work, but give it a go

1. Create a page called “forums”,
2. make this page a full width page – if your theme doesn’t support this, then you’ll need to create a child theme and add a full page template.
3. Put this shortcode on the page [bbp-forum-index]
4. edit the following file
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css
by removing the left float from div.bbp-breadcrumb(line 405)
5. In your style.css add the following

.bbPress #primary {
display: none;
}
.bbp-forums {
width: 100%;
}

let us know if that works
