PS : it’s the same when I’m trying with your “tutor” code

[The Stash House]

Hi Robin,

I have the same issue as 9march using this code in my functions.php :

/**
 * BBPress : add new role with custom capabilities
 * https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/
 */

//code to add "client" role

function add_new_roles( $bbp_roles )
{
    /* Add a role called tutor */
    $bbp_roles['bbp_client'] = array(
        'name' => 'Client',
        'capabilities' => custom_capabilities( 'bbp_client' )
    );

    return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_new_roles', 1 );

function add_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role )
{
    /* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
    if( $role == 'bbp_client' )
        $caps = custom_capabilities( $role );

    return $caps;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'add_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );

function custom_capabilities( $role )
{
    switch ( $role )
    {

        /* Capabilities for 'client' role */
        case 'bbp_client':
            return array(
                // Primary caps
                'spectate'              => true,
                'participate'           => true,
                'moderate'              => false,
                'throttle'              => false,
                'view_trash'            => false,

                // Forum caps

                'read_private_forums'   => true,
                'read_hidden_forums'    => false,

                // Topic caps
                'publish_topics'        => false,
                'edit_topics'           => false,
                'edit_others_topics'    => false,
                'delete_topics'         => false,
                'delete_others_topics'  => false,
                'read_private_topics'   => true,

                // Reply caps
                'publish_replies'       => true,
                'edit_replies'          => true,
                'edit_others_replies'   => false,
                'delete_replies'        => false,
                'delete_others_replies' => false,
                'read_private_replies'  => true,

                // Topic tag caps
                'manage_topic_tags'     => false,
                'edit_topic_tags'       => false,
                'delete_topic_tags'     => false,
                'assign_topic_tags'     => true,
            );

            break;

        default :
            return $role;
    }
}

always ending with “-No roles for this forums-” like the new role for the newly registered user was not saved.

bbpress just uses WordPress registration, so anything that does WordPress registration will work fine, including many free custom add-on plugins

you can also use the bbpress registration shortcode on a page

Shortcodes

[hydrogriff]

Can you elaborate on this? Do you mean bbp_reply_post_date() can also be used for topics?

[hydrogriff]

For the lead topic, I am using this to show a human readable date. Although the date for the <time> tag is displayed correctly, the actual text part of the date (where it is humanized) is off by 1 year.

This is the whole link code – <a href="<?php bbp_topic_permalink(); ?>" class="bbp-topic-permalink"><span class="bbp-topic-post-date"><time datetime="<?php bbp_topic_post_date();?>" title = "<?php echo bbp_topic_post_date();?>"><?php bbp_topic_post_date(0, true); ?></time></span></a>

The <?php bbp_topic_post_date(0, true); ?> part is off by 1 year but only for a few posts. The reply dates suffer the same fate. They are also off by 1 year – again for only a few posts.

I have tried it with plugins deactivated + twenty seventeen theme. Still the same. I have also tried doing all the forum repair tool items. Nothing changed.

[Robin W]

This may or may not suit what you require

[Robin W]

ok, just re-read your post, and that may not fix it – I suspect there is some code somewhere that is blocking setting of keymasters.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
You could take the code from https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/add-a-featured-image-to-a-forum/ and enter it into your functions.php
I should check, but I might have added that already to the plugin bbp-toolkit (if you prefer just installing a plugin).

[Angelo Rocha]

Sorry!
In your “functions.php” add this line:

add_action( 'wpss_before_head', 'wpss_single_reply_redirect' );

=)

[Robin W]

you theme seems to be hiding much of this in css eg

.gp-theme .gp-forum-home .bbp-forum-topic-count, .gp-theme .gp-forum-home .bbp-forum-freshness {
	display: none;
}

suggest you contact theme author or switch themes

[Angelo Rocha]

My solution:

In your “head.php” before <html> tag:
do_action('wpss_before_head');

In your function.php:

function wpss_single_reply_redirect() {
	global $wp;
	$get_request = explode( '/', $wp->request );
	$reply_id    = end( $get_request );
	if ( in_array( 'reply', $get_request ) ):
		if ( in_array( 'edit', $get_request ) ):
			return;
		endif;
		wp_redirect( bbp_get_reply_url( $reply_id ), 301 );
		exit;
	endif;
}

Hi @robin-w,
I dont know if it was too complicated what I wrote above. I would really appreciate some help.

To make it short I found out that every time I delete topics on bulk in the back end, I cannot post in the front end anymore in the forums that are set to private and have a private group in them.
The same happens if I use the repair tools in the back end.

When I then try to post something, instead of seeing my post I see a page called page cannot be found. In the forum index I see that a post has been posted, but neither the author nor anybody else can access it. It also disappears from the activity widget.

Only if I go to the forum page in which the topic was posted and set the forum attributes from either open to closed and back to open or from private to public and then back to private, I can see my post again(and the post of others) and it also shows again in the activity widget.

Please let me know what I can do with this also what you mean by create a set of repeatable steps to create the issue.

I cannot manually delete post by post from the frontend when the forum is fully running.

Thank you!

I’ve created a Button for “Your Profile” so that users can access their Profile Page. I can’t figure out how to add a hyperlink or a shortcode for the button. Any & All help appreciated.

Solved, found this code snipped from a previous post https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/prevent-users-from-creating-topics-2/ which removed the topic form for everyone but admins and moderators.


add_filter( 'bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form' , 'rew_only_mods' , 10 , 1) ;
function rew_only_mods ($retval) {
// Users need to earn access
$retval = false;
//check if admin
if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster() ) {
$retval = true;
}
//check if moderator
$role = bbp_get_user_role( get_current_user_id());
if ($role == 'bbp_moderator') {
$retval = true;
}
// Allow access to be filtered
return (bool) apply_filters( 'rew_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form', (bool) $retval );
}


[Robin W]

add this to the custom css part of your theme settings

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content a {
	color: #12526f !important;
}

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content a {
	color: #12526f !important;
}

Close and re-open your browser

Please come back and confirm that this works

[danielleoverman]

I’d like to remove the capability for participants to create and edit topics. They should keep their reply capabilities.

I’m using this code (along with attempting to use a couple different solutions which did not work), but I haven’t found anything that works. Can someone point me in the right direction? No plugins, i’m just looking for working code.


add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'ST_add_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );

function ST_add_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role ){
if( $role == bbp_get_participant_role() ) {
$caps ['publish_topics']= false ;
}
return $caps;
}


[Gomle]

I know this is old. And you may never receive this message. But just in case…

I read your post over at stack, and I saw it was closed for a stupid reason back then.
The thing is – I am trying to do exactly what you are talking about.

Everything looks almost good with the code you pasted on stackexchange, but of course the forum which contains subforums doesn’t work as it should..

If you got this to work, and you still have the code. Can I please ask if you can post it here?
I believe the only thing I need is the code for loop-forums.php.

Thanks.

[Gomle]

I can confirm this. If you read this and hope to find an answer – this will most likely cheer you up 🙂

I had just imported 175.000 posts.
And was at the stage on reparing afterwards: Recalculate the position of each reply

I changed the server setting to allow 512MB of processes. And time out to 800 seconds.
I still received MANY server errors during the repair.
I got no information at all from the script what was going on, and if it kept on going when I just reloaded the page, and pressed “REPAIR”-button everytime I got an error.

After about 10 tries, it finally got through with a success message.
Just to be sure, I ran the repair one more time, and it worked for about 30-40 seconds, and I got the same success message.

All other repairs went smoothly.

Good luck 🙂

[austex]

That they now are mainly doing other things is sad for us, but they have a perfect right to do as they wish, and should feel under no obligation to spend time supporting the code.

Agree that they have the right to do as they wish, but they should at least publicly announce whether they are going to end bbPress development, or if it’s going to continue to languish for years at a time.

I understand @johnjamesjacoby is a very busy guy, but we are constantly told to be wary of plugins that are old.

More importantly, a lot of us have moved on to other software, rather than continue to beta-test bbPress 2.6 (which has been in some form of RC for over 3 years, and the latest RC came out in December of last year).

I have a big project that I’m putting together for somebody (they want WordPress), and some kind of lightweight/small forums are planned for, and it’s frustrating that I’m having to look elsewhere for forum software, or rigging some kind of fancy comment system (trying to avoid Disqus and Facebook for obvious reasons).

It’s odd, because bbPress could be a selling point for WordPress in their competition with other platforms. It’s also odd, because they have some very competent people working for them, but then they allow bbPress to kind of just drift along.

[Robin W]

sorry, I only do live code, so don’t know what rc7 does

[Robin W]

untested, and probably from a purist view not the most elegant solution, but this should work

add_filter( 'bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form' , 'rew_only_mods' , 10 , 1) ;

function rew_only_mods ($retval) {
	// Users need to earn access
	$retval = false;
	//check if admin
	if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster() ) {
		$retval = true;
	}
		//check if moderator
	$role = bbp_get_user_role( get_current_user_id());
	if ($role == 'bbp_moderator') {
		$retval = true;
	}
// Allow access to be filtered
	return (bool) apply_filters( 'rew_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form', (bool) $retval );
}

Also allows keymasters, but I presume you want that.

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

So I just setup a whole new test site, installed buddypress and bbpress

added the dizkusZK converter to the converters list

Ran it against a copy of the database that contains a dizkus forum.

got error:

WordPress database error: [Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes]

suspect that modern events calander has had an update.

I agree that ‘adding extra server code without need’ is a good policy, but unless you get modern events calendar to understand the issue and then fix, then the answer is that you need the fix 🙂

I suspect they will simply say it is a bbpress issue, which in a way it is

[asmedej]

Robin, thanks for answer, and thanks for the fix, but adding extra server code without need is not always a good thing to do.

Although, I think I found the problem plugin, and it seems that it is a Modern Events Calendar, so when i disabled it, everything was OK, BUT I don’t understand why all of a sudden there is conflict with bbpress, as I stated before everything was working fine.

Maybe I should contact Mec calendar …
