Hi Robkk, thanks for having a look again.

I agree with the profile nav and am changing that next, have just downloaded the plugin you mentioned and will have a look at it, looks a lot bigger then the code I am using…but has a lot more functions I like to include like sharing those backgrounds on activity etc, will use it tomorrow.

I also removed all Epicweb stuff so the forums page looks normal again, I was long focused on creating the right category/forum list, but ended up using a page with shortcodes in the end, so that code was just clutter anyway, so thanks again.

@smwln

usually creating the bbpress.php file and removing the about author code should fix it

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

[Robkk]

Does anyone know if this is a plugin or is this all back end coded?

its all custom code

The more I look at it, it appears to be the core WordPress “Howdy, User” admin bar

that it , even in the source it says #wpadminbar

[Robkk]

ok so copy page.php and rename the copied version to bbpress.php and make sure its at the root of your theme with the page.php file and single.php file and see if it works.

you can test it out by removing the <?php get_sidebar(); ?> code and see if the sidebar is removed only on bbpress pages and posts.

@david13_13

yeah this could happen on an active site especially if a popular topic is posted after post #1001

then someone bumped the topic to #4938

you can check and see if a popular topic was posted between these posts by checking some topics post time.

you can show consecutive numbers though starting from #1 on each topic using bbp_reply_position()to replace the reply id in loop-single-reply.php

but if a spam post comes in it wont be consecutive anymore it will skip a few

[Robkk]

you can also hide it with CSS since it isnt required

i also included the topic form website field

.bbp-reply-form #bbp_anonymous_website,
.bbp-topic-form #bbp_anonymous_website,
label[for="bbp_anonymous_website"] {
	display: none !important;
}

[Robkk]

@markf1

at the very top you posted code for your bbpress.php file

it isnt suppose to have code for the bbpress archive-forum.php file it is suppose to be similar to the themes page.php file nothing else.

maybe you doing the bbpress.php file incorrectly caused the issue.

[Robkk]

@roboticrobots

you should follow this just in case you were hacked

https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked

[Robkk]

@supremor

everyone is trying to help you out so any code, suggestions is for you and your issue.

to help with the button because it looks to close to the input box try this css code

.bbp-login-form .bbp-submit-wrapper {
margin-top: 10px;
}

[Robkk]

@offgasin

does this custom CSS help you

div.bbp-template-notice, 
div.indicator-hint {
color: #fff;
}

[Robkk]

@robin-w

they mostly communicate on SLACK especially a meeting on Wednesdays.. they do creep the forums sometimes though

Any idea how I can get this to the attention of one of the authors

@katiekat

you could go on slack in the #bbpress channel and notify @jjj , there was another user who had an issue with subscriptions and he might look into it.

Participate & Contribute

@robin-w you might as well check the slack channel too , especially on Wednesdays

[Robkk]

you can also call the bbp reply link link three times but removes some arguments you dont want to show and only show the ones you want.

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array('show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) ); ?>
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false, 'type' => avatar , 'size' => auto ) ); ?>
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false,'type' => 'name' ) ); ?>

[DuncanMarshall]

It seems this is a known issue for WordPress when ordering by meta query. BBPress does this to order by “last active” which is the default (and in my case, desired).

Loading a forum index, on my site, takes about 20 seconds.

Here is the offending SQL:

    [9] => Array
        (
            [0] => SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS  wp_posts.ID FROM wp_posts  INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id) WHERE 1=1  AND wp_posts.post_parent = 9  AND wp_posts.post_type = 'topic' AND (wp_posts.post_status = 'publish' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'closed' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'private' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'hidden') AND (wp_postmeta.meta_key = '_bbp_last_active_time' ) GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY wp_postmeta.meta_value DESC LIMIT 0, 15
            [1] => 19.448324918747
            [2] => require('wp-blog-header.php'), require_once('wp-includes/template-loader.php'), apply_filters('template_include'), call_user_func_array, bbp_template_include, apply_filters('bbp_template_include'), call_user_func_array, bbp_template_include_theme_compat, BBP_Shortcodes->display_forum, bbp_get_template_part, bbp_locate_template, load_template, require('/themes/xx/bbpress/content-single-forum.php'), bbp_has_topics, WP_Query->__construct, WP_Query->query, WP_Query->get_posts
        )

There’s a ticket which seems to be addressing my problem here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1925

Unless I’m misreading it, the upshot is “We should probably be using post_modified on the topic instead of a meta value for ‘last activity’, so as to avoid using the JOIN… but we haven’t yet”.

So how do other sites do it? This one, for instance? Or WordPress.org? They have more posts than I do, but have got around this issue somehow.

Any solution?

Thanks.

[Robkk]

This is for TinyMCE

/* This is for the button color */
.mce-btn-group .mce-btn {
	background: black;
}

/* This is for the icon color */
.mce-toolbar .mce-ico {
	color: white;
}

this is for the quicktags toolbar

.wp-core-ui .button, .wp-core-ui .button-secondary {
	color: white;
	background: black;
}

[Robkk]

this would require some custom development

i think you could do it fiddling with the reply form shortcode below

[bbp-reply-form]

but you have to make sure it gets the topics id first though im not sure.

[Robin W]

ok, I’ve kicked the code around an adding this to your functions file will fix it.

I may add it as an option to the profile at some stage, but not likely that soon, so paste this code into your functions file

//* Code addition for bbP Profile Information Plugin
add_action('register_form','myplugin_register_form');
function myplugin_register_form (){
	$rpi_label1 = ( isset( $_POST['rpi_label1'] ) ) ? $_POST['rpi_label1']: '';
	$rpi_label2 = ( isset( $_POST['rpi_label2'] ) ) ? $_POST['rpi_label2']: '';
	?>
	<p>
	
	<p>
		<label for="rpi_label1"><?php echo $rpi_options['item1_label'] ; ?><br />
		<input type="text" name="rpi_label1" id="rpi_label1" class="input" value="<?php echo esc_attr(stripslashes($rpi_label1)); ?>" size="25" /></label>
		</p>
		<p>
            <label for="rpi_label2"><?php echo $rpi_options['item2_label'] ; ?><br />
        <input type="text" name="rpi_label2" id="rpi_label2" class="input" value="<?php echo esc_attr(stripslashes($rpi_label2)); ?>" size="25" /></label>
        </p>
	
	
	<?php
}

add_filter('registration_errors', 'myplugin_registration_errors', 10, 3);
function myplugin_registration_errors ($errors, $sanitized_user_login, $user_email) {
	if ( empty( $_POST['rpi_label1'] ) )
	$errors->add( 'rpi_label1_error', __('ERROR: You must include a first name.','mydomain') );
	if ( empty( $_POST['rpi_label2'] ) )
	$errors->add( 'rpi_label2_error', __('ERROR: You must include a last name.','mydomain') );
	return $errors;
}

add_action('user_register', 'myplugin_user_register');
function myplugin_user_register ($user_id) {
	if ( isset( $_POST['rpi_label1'] ) )
	update_user_meta($user_id, 'rpi_label1', $_POST['rpi_label1']);
	if ( isset( $_POST['rpi_label2'] ) )
	update_user_meta($user_id, 'rpi_label2', $_POST['rpi_label2']);
}

[Joe Dostie]

Posting that code seems to have screwed up the thread…oh boy!

Well in any case I have been doing some testing.

It looks to me like bbPress is expecting to always be in the ROOT of the site.

I can make some adjustments but it then appears to mess something else up.

Take a look at this forum, I will leave it alone for a whole so you can look at it. But it explains the issue.

If I make the forum a child page bbPress will not create the forum with the parent page.

If you adjust the forum root setting to fix this, then bbPress takes over and the breadcrumb so the hierarchy is no longer correct.

At least that’s how it appears to me…

@vikingpoker

I have another plugin user with this issue, which helps as it should get me quicker to a solution.

But can I also ask your help?

Could I please ask you to do 2 things (or any combination will help me)

1. Could you try version 1.2 – I’m not sure if the latest version 1.3 is an issue

Therefore could you go to http://www.rewweb.co.uk/bbp-style-pack-1-2/ and follow the instructions.

If this works, then let me know, as it will eliminate much of my code as the issue.

2. If you are able to could you :
a. Deactivate all plugins except bbpress and bbp style pack and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error when my plugin is also active.
b. If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then switch back to your normal theme and re-enable all plugins (except mine as this is causing the issue) and come back with the results

[Robin W]

sorry I’m not ignoring you or abandoning you, I’d like to get this working as well, but one of my plugins is causing users issues, so have diverted my attention to that.

Just try pasting this into the line

<label for="rpi_label1"><?php _e('First Name as people call you eg Dave','mydomain') ?><br />

If I’m right it will fall over on the next line, and I can tell you the issue.

If not, I’ll load you code into my test site and kick it when I get out from my plugin issue

[Joe Dostie]

I cant paste the html markup even with the code block..but.

It was quicker to code it than describe it.

Basically I’ve created a new widget called (rew) Login Widget

Copy all the below into your functions file

You’ll see that all it required was taking out the label, and putting ‘placeholder’ into the input line

I even changed lost password into forgot your password !

The go into widgets and you’ll see the new widget (rew) Login Widget

enjoy !

[Robin W]

will be at least tomorrow evening before I look at again, but the code does seem to work on my test stite with twenty ten, although I don’t know why it didn’t immediately !

[Robin W]

ok, no easy filters, are you ok at coding, ie getting some code and amending it. If so i’ll come back with more info

[Robin W]

Come back if you rae still having problems tomorrow, but the code you posted works with bbpress !

[Robin W]

ok, not sure why, but my code is now working without me changing, but I did shutdown all browsers and reload from scratch and that seemed to fix.

I can now change role capabilities at will, but initially like you the changes did not take effect.

by the by if you have several sessions in one browser they will take capabiliites of another session, so have you admin in say IE and your user you are testing in say Chrome !
