I am trying to remove the author’s real name and only display the @ username.

With the code I found here, I could add the username below the name. But how can I remove the real name and only display the @ username?

@Johnnieasear: To me, MS is the future of WP. Why have one site, if I can have at least one more for testing purposes? That was what I thought about before setting up my network. Of course, that means mostly styling tests, since plugins are integrated with the network and some plugins can only be (de-)activated on network level, so testing is limited. But still.

Do you refer to this Guide? “Extensive” would too far-fetched a word for that, in my opinion. It’s more of a brief overview. Useful, of course. 🙂

I am trying to debug an intermittent 404 issue that has been traced to BBPress. I’ve read several other reports about intermittent 404s and BBPress, but none of them are quite applicable to my situation, so I’m creating a new support topic.

The main page of my website will intermittently load with a 404.The intermittent access issue appears to last between 10 seconds and 3 minutes at a time. When this happens, it’s down for everyone trying to access the site (confirmed while on the phone with hosting service tech support). Other pages on the site appear to load correctly during this time window. Hitting refresh will eventually successfully reload the page correctly.

I am using Query Monitor to examine the rewrite rules. Here are the results when the page is loading incorrectly:

Request	account-2/conscious-business-design-dashboard
Matched Rule	[^/]+/([^/]+)/?$
Matched Query	attachment=conscious-business-design-dashboard
Query String	attachment=conscious-business-design-dashboard
Query Vars	attachment	conscious-business-design-dashboard
comments_per_page	50
name	conscious-business-design-dashboard
order	DESC
posts_per_page	10
update_post_meta_cache	1
update_post_term_cache	1

Here are the results when the page is loading correctly:

Request	account-2/conscious-business-design-dashboard
Matched Rule	(.?.+?)(?:/([0-9]+))?/?$
Matched Query	pagename=account-2%2Fconscious-business-design-dashboard
&page=
Query String	pagename=account-2%2Fconscious-business-design-dashboard
Query Vars	comments_per_page	50
name	conscious-business-design-dashboard
order	DESC
pagename	conscious-business-design-dashboard
posts_per_page	10
update_post_meta_cache	1
update_post_term_cache	1
Queried Object	
Single Page: #225 (WP_Post)

Here is the most relevant query that is being run during the 404:

	SELECT wp_posts.*
FROM wp_posts 
WHERE 1=1 
AND wp_posts.post_name = 'conscious-business-design-dashboard'
AND wp_posts.post_type = 'attachment' 
ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC 

Here is the query run when the page successfully loads:

SELECT wp_posts.*
FROM wp_posts 
WHERE 1=1 
AND (wp_posts.ID = '225')
AND wp_posts.post_type = 'page' 
ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC 

When I look at the BBPress code, I can identify the rewrite rules here:

	// Rewrite rule matches used repeatedly below
		$root_rule    = '/([^/]+)/?$';
		$feed_rule    = '/([^/]+)/' . $feed_slug  . '/?$';
		$edit_rule    = '/([^/]+)/' . $edit_slug  . '/?$';
		$paged_rule   = '/([^/]+)/' . $paged_slug . '/?([0-9]{1,})/?$';

However, all slugs are correctly set in the database, and I can’t figure out how they might be getting corrupted.

Any suggestions for further troubleshooting?

I am trying to figure out why bbPress (inside Buddypress) isn’t enqueueing topic.js on topic pages so that favoriting and subscribing buttons ajax instead of refresh (which they currently do).

In enqueue_scripts(), bbp_is_single_topic() is being checked before allowing the js files to be enqueued.

In the bbp_is_single_topic() function declaration, is_singular( bbp_get_topic_post_type() ) || bbp_is_query_name( 'bbp_single_topic' ) must be satisfied to return true.

Issue: is_singular( bbp_get_topic_post_type() ) returns false (also is_singluar('topic') and just is_singluar() — also, no matter where I go in bbpress, is_singluar() returns false).
Tangential: echoing bbp_get_query_name() returns nothing.

Any ideas?

NB: This was tested on fresh Twenty Twelve with all non-essential plugins disabled and bp-custom.php emptied.

WP: 4.4.1
BP: 2.4.3
BBP: 2.5.8

Error, debugging and solution, all in 1 go !
Will have a look for the codex, thanks.

There are no themes or plugins that I know of that support _bbp_old_user_id, bbPress offers that and exposes it for developers to use as they will.

I pretty much cannot see any use case where displaying the old vBulletin user ID would be required, it really would only be needed to map previous vBulletin extensions and plugins to bbPress after migration.

[Robin W]

just put

[bbp-forum-index]

in to the page

other shortcodes that might interest you

Hi,

in the Codex, it says that the automatic loading of locales should begin when they are at 100%. However, the German locale has not been updated in my installation since three days, that is the current date of the files in my webspace. Even though I approved strings in Glotpress every day since then.

Do you know if there is some “push” mechanism? Because WP-Members always gets updated at night (UTC) after I edited some strings. Or maybe bbpress needs to pull translations, but it does not do so, sufficiently?

Hi,

i was doing some performance analysis with the Xdebug and Xhprof profiling tools and noticed that many of my DB queries/per request are something similar to:

SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = '_bbp_enable_subscriptions' LIMIT 1

In Trac Ticket 1550 it is mentioned, that the WordPress Object Cache is used, but this “error_log” (in wp-db.php Version 4.4.1 line 1809) tells me a different story:

	private function _do_query( $query ) {
		if ( defined( 'SAVEQUERIES' ) && SAVEQUERIES ) {
			$this->timer_start();
		}

		if ( $this->use_mysqli ) {
			error_log($query . "\n", 3, '/tmp/wpdb.log');
			$this->result = @mysqli_query( $this->dbh, $query );
		} else {
			$this->result = @mysql_query( $query, $this->dbh );
		}
		$this->num_queries++;

		if ( defined( 'SAVEQUERIES' ) && SAVEQUERIES ) {
			$this->queries[] = array( $query, $this->timer_stop(), $this->get_caller() );
		}
	}

Am i missing some Cache Settings here?

I am using WordPress 4.4.1 with bbPress 2.5.8

[Manuel Fritsch]

I wanted to change two titles, so I wrote this (had to take the translated strings though, so this fix will fail again when roles are renamed in bbress or our locale):

function my_custom_roles( $role, $user_id ) {
	if( $role == 'Teilnehmer' )
		return ' ';

	return $role;
	
}

add_filter( 'bbp_get_user_display_role', 'my_custom_roles', 10, 2 );

function my_custom_roles2( $role, $user_id ) {
	if( $role == 'Keymaster' )
		return 'Administrator';

	return $role;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_get_user_display_role', 'my_custom_roles2', 10, 2 );

[Manuel Fritsch]

It doesn’t say anything in the Codex about “don’t you dare activate on network once you activated on subsite only, you will never again be able to activate on subsite only”. I looked.

However, I am not 100% sure that I first activated on subsite only. Maybe I only thought so, and am now back to original configuration: network yes, subsite no.

[Stephen Edgar]

Can try the other one, i.e. vBulletin please? Theres a possibility I’ve messed things up here 🙁

[Stephen Edgar]

Be careful when you post code here on the forums, next time you’ll want to make sure you do not post passwords 😉 (I’ve removed them)

If your using the 2.6 alpha (you should) are you selecting vBulletin or vBulletin3 from the dropdown?

[blandow]

So it didn’t work…
(The results I get when I start the import is no topics to import, no threads to import, etc)

Hi,
Try this in a child theme or functions.php (I didn’t really test it, but this could be a way to do):

function casiepa_mention_gravatar() {
            echo 'Upload a profile picture on <a href="gravatar.com">Gravatar</a>';
}

add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'casiepa_mention_gravatar' );
add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_author_details', 'casiepa_mention_gravatar' );

Pascal.

[Robin W]

you put this code :

[bsp-display-topic-index show=’5′ forum =’10’]

into the content section of your home page

[ZivotsRS]

Thank you for your response. Plugin looks great.
Only too much for me in English and can not find where to adjust. Thus, the basic settings I can see, but I can not find out where to enter a shortcode to work. It is the most English 🙁

[Robin W]

latest topics is in a shortcode in my plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

[bsp-display-topic-index show=’5′ forum =’10’]

[Robin W]

If you know how to add stuff to css, this should do it

.type-forum .post_info {
display: none;
}

If you don’t know how to do that, your theme may allow custom css – have a look in dashboard>appearance and see what theme changes you can see in there, or have a look at

https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/

Do come back if you need further help !

[Birchwind]

Hi –
I’m running WordPress 4.4.1
BBpress is the 2.58
Theme is Optimizer

I have successfully increased the font size of the forum itself. What I have not been able to do is figure out how to change the text that one sees to get back to the various Forum categories or Forum home – as shown in image below:
https://i.gyazo.com/0882075309c65c8058da2fe97caea9aa.png

I used this info here: https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-styling-crib/ and according to that, it is #8 I want to adjust, and on that ‘how-to’ it says that that area is:

8. Breadcrumb and link colors
Inherited from your theme

Just wondering where to find this so I can make it larger in size.

[grungyape]

Sorry, I must have not set myself up to be notified of your reply.

I’m not sure I understand you. The forum is working, as in the links go where they should and what not.

So yes, well it was changed but in short yes, this link does work:

http://fubar-alliance.com/comms/channel/test/

The forum software says index is comms, and single forums is channel, but the index looks like it should have an image to represent the forum in question, otherwise the page is hard to read and understand…

If you go here: http://fubar-alliance.com/comms/

Notice the odd blocks that highlight when you find them, and have the mini round broken image.

[vinstyton]

Yes, two colors that I need to change.

The author/date text color and the link colors of the forums.

From the codex reference, I am trying to change the colors of #5 and #8.

I tried the code above but it did not change those two color elements.

Thanks.

[Robin W]

although

`$forum_id = bbp_get_topic_forum_id($post_id);

or

$forum_id = bbp_get_topic_forum_id($post_id);
`

would be quicker and easier to get the forum id

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
1) There is no pagination for the forum archive page.
2) It is not limited to 50 forums, you can create as much as you want. It is just recommended that you use less than 50. You can use a filter to change the number to what you want. I haven’t tested it myself, so try it yourself in your child theme or functions.php:

function casiepa_increase-forum-per-page( $args = array() ) {
   $args['posts_per_page'] = get_option( ‘_bbp_forums_per_page’, 100 );
return $args;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_before_has_forums_parse_args’, ‘casiepa_increase-forum-per-page’ );

3) To order, Edit your forum (Admin Panels > Forums > All Forums) and on the right you will find ‘Forum attributes’, play with the ‘order’ attribute.

Hope this helps,
Pascal.

[Aztix]

Here is my research :

I register the forum parent id with this :

$parents = get_post_ancestors( $post->ID );
$id = ($parents) ? $parents[count($parents)-1]: $post->ID;
$parent_id = "forum_parent_".$id;

and add it on my body class

<?php body_class($parent_id." ".$style." ....) ?>

and then i creat this little function :

if (bbp_is_single_topic($parent_id === ‘forum_parent_11801’)){
wp_nav_menu(array(‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘menu’=>’my-menu-name’ ));
}

It doesn’t work but i think that i’am not so far from what i want !
