Hey there! Sorry that 2.6 is giving you trouble.

bbPress roles are somewhat tricky, but not too much has changed, so it shouldn’t be too hard for us to figure it out.

We’ll need to see the code that you used to make your custom Roles. If you can include it or link to it here, that will be really helpful.

Hi,

I’m currently using BuddyPress, bbPress, and Image and video gallery from Google Drive (all are latest updated). The plugin “Image and video gallery from Google Drive” provides a shortcodes is [sgdg path=”MyPath”]. I tried installing “bbPress – Do Shortcode” and it worked. However, the javascript file for loading is missing. Anyone can help me out please?

[Hammy Havoc]

Oddly, the fix results in the same error endlessly looping:

16. Converting anonymous reply authors (50 through 50 of 50) 100%

[sunspot10]

The new bbPress 2.6.0 update implemented yesterday breaks the forum index displayed with the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode.

1. The above shortcode used to display two levels, not one on bbpress 2.5.14 before the update.
2. The problem happens on three different sites, so it is not a plugin compatibility issue.
3. The problem was reported during the 2.6.0 development cycle but ignored:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subforums-not-showing-after-upgrade-from-2-6rc5-to-2-6rc7/

4. The forums that are displayed are and always have been propertly set to display two levels in the index:

Showing parent forums and subforums (categories) in forum root: How?

What I would recommend is modifying bbpress to implement a parameter after the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode such as “showlevels=1-2” or the like. That way users can control how many levels of the hierarchy are displayed in the index.

This is clearly a bug in 2.6.0 that needs to be fixed. When will it be fixed?

[raydelvec]

Same problem. I changed the CSS on my forum about a year ago, uploading the custom styles to Active Theme > css > bbpress.css

Then upon this latest update, they all reverted back.

It is fixed when you copy/paste the CSS code from that file into either main style.css or the Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS

I also use Autoptimize which wraps the bbpress.css code into one file.

I would like to know what’s causing the issue even though this is a workaround.

[DigitalGdn]

Workaround fix:

My theme’s bbPress custom styles were in bbpress/css/bbpress.css, I have copied the CSS contents into the main style.css and it is ok now.

Hi everybody!

I’m having some problems importing from the latest phpBB into the latest bbPress.

I get the following error:

1. No passwords to clear
2. No users to import

Everything else appears to import as expected.

[Chuckie]

This works:

		'video'      => array(
			'controls' => true,
			'width'    => true,
			'height'   => true,
		),
		'source'     => array(
			'src'    => true,
			'type'	 => true
		)

[phildesigns]

Since the latest update to 2.6.0 I’ve noticed that I am unable to click into the visual editor on replies to posts. Text tab works but the text area for the visual editor isn’t working at all. I can’t click into the space and type anything there. I’m using the following code to use the visual editor…

function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
$args['tinymce'] = true;
$args['teeny'] = false;
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

function bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text( $plugins = array() ) {
$plugins[] = 'paste';
return $plugins;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_tiny_mce_plugins', 'bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text' );

function bavotasan_bbpress_upload_media( $args ) {
$args['media_buttons'] = true;

return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bavotasan_bbpress_upload_media' );

function add_theme_caps() {
$role = get_role( 'subscriber' );
$role->add_cap( 'upload_files' );
}

add_action( 'admin_init', 'add_theme_caps');


[Chuckie]

Is this right? I don’t want to blindly add the code so I appreciate confirmation:

'video'      => array(
	'controls' => true,
	'width'    => true,
	'height'   => true,
),
'source'     => array(
	'src'    => true
)

?

[Chuckie]

So I have this code for html tags not showing in topics for non-admin:

function ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags() {
	return array(

		'tr'         => array(

	);
} 

I need to add some more tags to this list because my topics now support embedded videos. A user did a topic and it shows as:

<video controls=”controls” width=”300″ height=”150″>
<source src=”path; /></video>

What must I add to this tags array for this?

Thanks

In using bbstyle pack, when I have it set to have edit profile in the menu, it refers to this link…
/users/*username*/edit
… but I end up with an error page…
“Sorry, This Page Is Gone.
The page you are trying to view no longer exists or has been moved. You may try the search form below to find it.”

I also tried the bbstyle pack shortcode [bsp-profile] and same result as above.

You asked on another thread…
What have you got set for dashboard>settings>forums>forum user slugs>user base ?
It is set to the default… I never changed it…
users

I found an old plugin as a workaround, but I would rather not add another plugin, especially one that is not updated for the past two years…
/plugins/bbp-profile-link-shortcode/

When I use that plugin, it works fine for profile edit… I put their shortcode in a sidebar widget… and it refers to this link…
/users/*username*/
… this link works to reach Profile.

Here is the problem…

I have my wp in a sub folder of the domain, WordPress Address (URL).
And, the Site Address (URL) is the domain root.

bbstyle pack is using the WordPress Address (URL) … adding the folder to the link string … and not the Site Address (URL)…like this…

/domain/folder/users/*username*/edit
… this will not work… “Page is Gone”

/domain/users/*username*/edit
… this works.

Is there a way to change the setting for bbstyle package to use the Site Address (URL) as opposed to the WordPress Address (URL)?

[Robin W]

this will let you change text if you need it – not as good as having an ‘accepted translation’ but better than English

add_filter(  'gettext',  'rew_bbpress_translate', 20 , 3  );
add_filter(  'ngettext',  'rew_bbpress_translate' , 20 , 3 );

function brexit_translate( $translated, $text, $domain ) {
	if ($domain == 'bbpress') {
     $words = array(
                        
                        'Topic' => 'New-word',
                         'topic' => 'new-word',
         );
     $translated = str_replace(  array_keys($words),  $words,  $translated );
	}
     return $translated;
}

just change what you need and add to in the middle section

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

As already mentioned I have the information displayed with the functions code tweak. Thanks for the referral to the plugin though.

[Oxibug]

Hi There!

For guys whom using action hook {bbp_forum_metabox}, It was uses ($post_id) and since v2.6.0 they modify the variable into WP_Post object so if you use {$post_id} to get your custom meta values it won’t work and you must modify it to {$post->ID} instead of {$post_id}.

I extremely recommended to make two functions using {version_compare} with bbp_get_version() to solve this.

if( version_compare( bbp_get_version(), '2.6.0', '<' ) ) {
    // Use $post_id
    add_action( 'bbp_forum_metabox', array( $this, 'bbp_forum_metabox' ) );
}
else {
   // Use $post->ID
   add_action( 'bbp_forum_metabox', array( $this, 'bbp_forum_metabox_GTv260' ) );
}

[pipipi07]

Thank you for making it 2.6!
However, there was a problem after the update.

I use bbpress in Japanese.
In ver.2.5, a code that sets the topic title to 20 characters in Japanese was added to functions.php and it worked properly.
This is the code.

function title_max_length ($ default) {
$ default = 20;
return $ default;
}
add_filter ('bbp_get_title_max_length', 'title_max_length');

But after 2.6, it didn’t work.
For example, if default = 20, only 6 characters will be reflected in the title in Japanese. If it is half-width alphanumeric characters, up to 20 characters are correctly reflected.

I know this is a multibyte issue, but I don’t know how to deal with it. Can I change the limit on the number of characters in a title even with multibyte?
I hope to find a good solution.

I am not good at English. I’m sorry in terrible English. thank you for reading!

[livefree]

Also, Robin… I ran along this path because in bbstyle, this shortcode didn’t work…
[bsp-profile]
… it leads to …

…/forumslug/users/email@gmail.com
And, I get…

“Sorry, This Page Is Gone.
The page you are trying to view no longer exists or has been moved. You may try the search form below to find it.”

[livefree]

I have to use the workaround and can’t use the default edit profile link… which I would prefer …
the default link is …
/forumslug/users/emailgmail-c*o*m/edit
… it doesn’t work

the edit profile link is…
…/forumslug/users/emailgmail-c*o*m

the workaround is this plugin, but I would rather not add another plugin, especially one that is not updated for the past two years.

Any thoughts on how I could list the edit profile correctly, say, in a widget or with a code?

[randrcomputers]

Glad im reading tonight as i use same shortcode so will wait for 2.6.1

My phpBB database is 3.2.7

I was trying to look at your source code for the phpBB importer but I can’t quite follow the logic.

[Chuckie]

I was not able to use the previous phpBB importer as it was failing right at the start. This new version seems to work better! However, I have some comments about this.

1/ A possible problem.

Here is my log (which I paused in the end):

2/ Feature Request

Because I was not able to previously import content I came up with a new simplified set of forum categories etc in my bbPress forum. Therefore, ideally I would love to be presented with a list of forums that are going to be imported so that I can map them to the existing forums I have created. So some would be merging several into one if that makes sense.

At the moment (even though I hit stop on point 9) I was able to view the forum and could seem many boards imported – a quick look it looked great. It is just that I wanted control over how the topics were imported. Thus my idea for the mapping from old forums to current forums.

Can this be done?

Please let me know if I need to give more info.

I don’t know if this should be a “trac ticket” or not.

Well done guys.

Andrew
