Hi… me again!

I do have the latest versions of WordPress 3.6.1 and bbPress 2.4

When I make a forum post you can hardly see the words… Very faint! I’ve checked all the settings but I don’t see any setting for that. I tried different Themes including TwentyEleven but no change.

Thanks

Hi,

I’m actually having 2 problems with login and registration on my site.

First problem is with the login widget.

-when I drag the widget over to the side bar it stays there until I enter the URLs in the required fields. If I write just the name it stays!

Second problem is with registering to the site with the stock WordPress form. I’m logged out of my back end and the user name and email address I’m using is not already registered. It’s easier to explain with screen shots

Thanks in advance for you help!

Hi all,

Wondered if anyone knew of (or how to), plugins that allows me to place any images that appear in a post into a gallery on a page automatically?

As an example: If I have a forum that allows users to upload a pic that they have taken on holiday and I want to “showcase” those images into a “members gallery”.

Cheers,

Jayce

Hi all,

I am currently trying to put together a home page that consists of the 20/30/50 recent posts in all forums (paginated).

I know that I can use the topic short code [bbp-topic-index], but this lists the whole topic rather than individual (single) posts.

The reason that I want to do this is that if someone posts a topic with images in I want those images to show on the home page to make it more interesting.

Can this be done with bbpress? I know that I can be done with IPS boards but not keen on their layouts.

Cheers,

Jayce

forums/user/test/
is rendering very weirdly:

<div class="entry-content" itemprop="text"><p>Profile Topics Started Replies Created Favorites Subscriptions Edit Profile Forum Role: Keymaster Topics Started: 0 Replies Created: 1</p>
</div>

which looks obviously incorrect because it’s missing html tags in between things.

I tried putting a die; at the bottom of templates\default\bbpress\user-profile.php and the page rendered properly, but all the other profile type pages are still broken. Removing everything from my functions.php doesn’t help either.

What could be going back and stripping out the html tags?

I am developing in a Genesis child theme and installed a bbPress Genesis Extend plugin.

David, thanks for the tip on moving a topic from one forum to the other. I found that I also have to make a new post to the “to” forum as well as the “from” forum, in order to get them both to show the correct number of posts in each.

The /forums/ page indicates that the moved topic is still in the old forum, and not in the new. Further, going into the old (from) forum, I see “there is one topic in this forum” but none listed. Similarly, going into the new (to) forum, I see “there are no topics…” and yet the topic I moved in there is listed. Creating (and then deleting) a new “test” topic in each causes the issue to be corrected in all listing pages.

It’s a rather frustrating work-around, but at least it solves the problem I was having. I am using version 2.4 now, and it’s still an issue. Hoping that might be resolved in the next release or so.

Ok so I have the latest wordpress / bbpress and buddy press so far as I know.

I have created a forum – and it would seem that only people who are keymasters / admins can actually comment / post through the forum. Every time I log into my test account which is set as a ‘participant’ and subscriber, i get the message “you do not have permission” when i try to comment or reply to a forum post.

I have been looking into this for a good couple of days now. I have installed the members plugin, I have re-routed the forum roles etc….

I’m at a loss

[jakestambridge]

Just wondering if this is possible – I am working on a live project at the moment which is requiring the addition of BuddyPress and bbPress functionality to a membership site running on Wishlist Member. Specs for the site as follows:

WP: 3.6.1
bbPress: 2.4
BuddyPress: 1.8.1
Wishlist Member: 2.71.1747
Site URL: http://www.thelawofattraction.com

The idea is that we are implementing a paid-for membership level managed by WLM and Infusionsoft. At the moment I have set auto role to ‘Blocked’ and reset the assigned bbPress user roles so that all existing (non-paying) members are set to this.

However, I’d like all new members registering as paid-for (Platinum+, platinumplus) to be assigned the Participant role.

I tried like so in my functions.php:

add_filter('bbp_get_user_role_map','custom_bbPress_role_map');
function custom_bbPress_role_map($role_map){
$role_map['platinumplus'] = bbp_get_participant_role();
return $role_map;
}

but although I can echo out the result of bbp_get_user_role_map() and see that this has worked in theory the Platinum+ members remain set as ‘Blocked’.

First time using bbPress so please forgive me if I’ve overlooked anything really obvious here, but any help would be appreciated.

Best,
Iain

Problem is because gdpress signature and adunit go in post with and the adunit plugin add the code before bbp-signature DIV…

We have two way, or add adunit code after bbp-signature DIV, or use another metod to add adunit after reply in the loop… for example, after 1 or 2 or 3 and etcc.. post, but not in one single reply.

For the moment i don’t have solutions, in plugin support page have another thread opened by another user… https://wordpress.org/support/topic/breaks-gd-bbpress-tools-signature-in-topic-between-posts?replies=2

With no reply… 🙁

I have bbpress loaded on my site and have already started creating forums…love it.
however, I created a page for the forum and put the shortcode there, but now my forum url is
http://www.nikkiinstitchescraftacademy.com/forums/forum/month-1-the-background-story/
is there any way to get rid of the double forum in there?
should i have put the shortcode someplace else?
thanks so much for your help!

Wordpress version 3.6.1
bbPress version 2.4

Thanks Devs for the hardwork.

I discovered a bug.

TITLE for all normal blog posts are missing and show the site title.

The blog posts titles disappear when I activate BBpress and reappear after I deactivate it.

https://bbpress.org/blog/ is showing the same issue too.

[benjito]

By way of an update. Adding a page and using shortcodes seems to have solved this

The only tables you need are the ones you listed above:

• forum
• thread
• post
• tagcontent
• tag
• user

You may have a table prefix vb_ on your tables and you enter that on the import settings ‘Table Prefix’ field.

bbPress Users ARE WordPress users 🙂

You will need to add a plugin that supports bbPress user avatars like BuddyPress

Have a look for a plugin https://bbpress.org/plugins/?ps=avatar

I use a large decorative font for my standard pages and forum titles in WordPress. This is normally ok because I make them intentionally short, however my forum topic titles can be much longer as they are created by users and need to be generally more descriptive. Since I have my breadcrumbs styled large and clearly, it’s unnecessary for the topic title to exist at all on an individual topic page.

Does anyone know which bbpress template file I would need to edit to get the single topic pages to display the forum they belong to instead of the topic title itself?

Or how I might do this using a conditional via my WordPress theme’s page.php file?

[Stephen Edgar]

Have a look at the support forum for ‘bbPress Genesis Extend’, it looks like @jaredatch has a new version is on its way shortly.

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-genesis-extend

The specifics of Genesis compatibility with bbPress 2.4x I am not sure, @jaredatch is the one who can answer all these questions and probsbly the best place would be in the support forum link above if he doesn’t answer them directly here.

Hello guys!

I have a specific question about adding forums, threads and replies in Bbpress.
Some times ago i made a script that’s sending data to fill the DB in wordpress – i just send via POST: author, post, title etc via php script, that add it all to DB. It was simple.

Now i have to make it in Bbpress, and there is a problem: besides the ‘wp_posts’ data i see many cells in ‘wp_post_meta’ when i create a forum, topic and a reply such as:

_bbp_topic_count
_bbp_total_reply_count
_bbp_forum_subforum_count
_bbp_reply_count
_bbp_last_active_time

etc

The problem is that I want to do it in the future delayed (this future posts date). And the question is: how do I write this posts and Bbpress helps me and refreshes that data in ‘wp_post_meta’.

I googled my problem and found this functions in functions.php:

  function bbp_update_topic_topic_id( $topic_id = 0 ) {
     $topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $topic_id );
  
     update_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_topic_id', (int) $topic_id );
 
      return apply_filters( 'bbp_update_topic_topic_id', (int) $topic_id );
  }

That’s what I’m looking for? I will be happy if Bbpress has some API or xml-rpc method to add a topics and replies, but there is none 🙁

Thank you and sorry for my bad english.

[francishunger]

resolved at least the language part. (Put the language files in the right folder, which is wp-content/languages/bbpress).

[BinaryOptionsSites]

I used the plugin with no change.
At the moment the site is down because all the changes made in order to make it work created a process that overloads the server and I will probably need a fresh install.
The appearance of the content was like a broken list with misplaced borders. I am sure I am not the only site owner that uses Genesis and bbPress (hence the plugin) and I wonder if there are any known issues or special customizations needed to be done. I saw a post about some bug fixes planned for 2.4.1 regarding Genesis compatibility and some users downgrading the bbPress version. Is there a connection to these cases?

[Steven Hodson]

Hey all you plugin developers – and aspiring ones – I have a bit of an FYI for you when it comes to the naming of your files.

A bit of backstory to this – recently when I installed a set of bbPress powered forums on a new site I would suddenly find myself unable to connect to the site – both the blog and the forums. I was lucky that the many times this happened my host provider (and a good friend) was able to find out what happened to lock me out. It turned out that for some reason my IP was triggering the data center (where the hosting service is located) firewall and locking me out.

The question was – what was causing the trigger to be hit?

Well after some investigation by the engineers at the data center they found it one was one specific javascript file that was being called by two different plugins being used that were the cause of the firewall being triggered.

What both of these files had in common was a javascript file called jquery.cookie.js

The two plugins in question are bbPress WP Tweaks and bbPress Like Button. They both apparently make use of this javascript file.

Now of course this might just be a one off problem that will never actually happen to other users of these plugins (after all the engineers at the data center might be overly anal when it comes to their firewall rules 🙂 ) but if you use them and you suddenly get emails saying that your members can’t access the blog or forums this might just be the cause. Better to be forewarned than to be pulling your hair out trying to figure out what the problem is.

To the two plugin authors of the plugins mentioned – I like using your plugins and for now the engineers have put a global rule in place so that the calling of that javascript file won’t trigger the firewall, but you might want to think about alternatives to it.

As I said this is just an FYI but I thought it would be better to post about the problem just in case it happens to someone else as well as letting developers know that there could be a problem using this javascript file.

Thanks Stephen! Turns out Postie was conflicting with bbPress!

[koendb]

Hi JJJ,

I really appreciate your effort on this forum!

I understand you can’t spend to much time here, but I guess your answers are still quite complicated for most of the bbpress users, an example would be great. I managed to write this with your hints, and some further googling. Thanks!

	function user_favorites_link( $args ) {
		$args['favorite'] = 'Maak favoriet';
		$args['favorited'] = 'geen favoriet meer';
		return $args;
	}
 add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_user_favorites_link_parse_args','user_favorites_link'); 

[Travis S.]

Now I know this question has been asked every which way to sunday, but I just can’t figure it out for my particular setup. I’m a little annoyed at myself that i’ve been working w/ bbpress for a couple weeks and can’t figure it out on my own.

Now my home page url is simply mysite.com (id give you a link but its parked). So to clean up the breadcrumbs a bit I made the homepage static so I could use that as the archive/index page. That way breadcrumbs could just be “home > forum-name”.

Now a couple issues which I can’t seem to figure out. If my homepage is simply mysite.com what could I use as the forums slug? Based off of some previous semi-related topics posted here, I could just add the [bbp-topic-index] short code to the homepage in the high hopes it would redirect the “forums” breadcrumb to the homepage.

So the ultimate goal here, 2 breadcrumbs. Make homepage the archive/index page so the forum breadcrumbs would be home > forum-name”

Anyone got any ideas?
