The final code seems to be not working. Still getting the blank username in the compose window.
I think you need to have a href on the a tag there to work?

If any one can solve this that would be great.

Thanks

Another twist for those of us that use Mandrill — $do_not_reply is used for both the to address and the from address. In order to get around Mandrill requiring the from address being legit and on file I first had to change $do_not_reply to be my main Mandrill address, which in turn addressed every single email to my actual email address instead of one that is intended to go nowhere.

I made another edit and customized the From address in $headers and all is well, but it’d be great to have both be separate filters for cases like this where the from address needs to be legit.

Here are my forums as they currently are: http://zimbabwe-today.com/forums/

Sorry to be the simple one here but I am really not seeing what I am supposed to do to get the sidebar in the forum. I installed BBpress WP Tweaks and added the BBpress login widget but I am not seeing anything. What am I supposed to do next? I created a bbpress.php file but I don’t see what code I should put in it that references the sidebar that I will be using. Is it some variation of this: <?php if (!function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar(‘Page Sidebar’)): endif; ?>

Please let me know.

Thanks

The solution lies in : wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php

Currently it is this : $do_not_reply = '<noreply@' . ltrim( get_home_url(), '^(http|https)://' ) . '>';

Needs to be: $do_not_reply = '<noreply@' . str_replace("www.","",ltrim( get_home_url(), '^(http|https)://' )) . '>';

I got this issue on my server w the latest bbPress update. I believe the most recent ticket will fix it in the next update, but this is what we did internally and it’s working.

@netweb

Yes, I did both. 2618.4.diff would not affect me though. I did verify the email address was correct in the Mandrill dashboard, noreply@connections-pro.com, but they were still being rejected.

I made sure to deactivate two plugins I’m using to make sure they were not inferring just incase they need to be updated to work correctly with the bcc change.

Those plugins were:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-custom-reply-notifications/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-new-topic-notifications/

I saw that both @jchristopher and @sudar mention they had to hardcode an email address that wpMandrill knows about. I’m wondering if I need to use one of the new filters to change the noreply address to a real valid address for wpMandrill to send the email without rejecting it. If I could figure out what they did to resolve their issue, but use a filter instead of hard coding it, that seems like it would solve my problem in a update safe way.

For now I’m still using the functions.php file from 2.5.3 (I have 2.5.4 installed).

What I mean by previous method is, in 2.5.4, notifications are sent as a “group” bcc was as in 2.5.3 it was one email per notification (right?).

[yoshimitsu1234]

I just added that code to custom css file. Doesn’t work.

[Stephen Edgar]

Thinking on this some more, as it is a client site I presume it has it’s own domain name.

Is the clients domain name being used for the notifications with 2.5.1?
eg noreply@example.com

As you pointed out above that both the site URL and home URL use www and your emails are showing using the Bluehost’s subdomain box557.bluehost.com so is your site and home URL’s http://www.box557.bluehost.com?

And for completeness did your last test use changeset r5409 and 2618.4.diff?

[Robin W]

yes, start with

bbp additional shortcodes

This list the last 5 topics across all the forums, and your friend should be able to crack it open

the end function

function rw_display_topic_index_query( $args = array() ) {
		global $show ;
		$args['author']        = 0;
		$args['show_stickies'] = true;
		$args['order']         = 'DESC';
		$args['posts_per_page'] = $show ;
		return $args;
	}

just needs an extra parameter to get the right forum,

If you get him to also look at

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/shortcodes

he’ll find some useful code to do that

[JBBoY]

Hi!

I’m searching for a bbproles field in the wordpress/bbpress database but with no luck. In wich table and row are they stored? What I want to do is create a form who change the user role if an “update user role code” facilitated by forum admin is correct.

Thank you very much in advance for your replies. 🙂

[GuillaumeR]

Hi,

I work on a WordPress Theme with bbpress integration and the user account are linked with the forums. But the Avatars are not working properly.
If the users use facebook connect to create their account, bbpress use their facebook avatar, whether they change their account avatar or not. I want to customize code to make sure bbpress always use the user account avatar but I can’t find where is the logic behind this.
Can you give me some elements as to where I need to make modifications?

Thanks!

[Robin W]

Agree it would be useful, and could be coded, but there are many calls on the developers time (I’m not a developer).

[Robin W]

Is there any way to completely skip the forums index? I don’t see why I would need multiple forums when I can have 1 main forum with different topics.

Yes you can skip the forum index, just create a page and put one of the shortcodes on it

https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

In your case you’d use

[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] – Display a single forums topics. eg. [bbp-single-forum id=32]

[Stephen Edgar]

Ha! Confirmed, will add an updated patch shortly….

It strips all the ssssssssss’s so even https://sssseanwes.com/ becomes @eanwes.com 😉

[seanwes]

Changeset 5409 fixed it for me.

However, I still have the following issue:

My website is seanwes.com. Notifications are now coming from noreply@eanwes.com (notice no ‘s’).

I have the proper address hardcoded in the mean time.

I just also added this to the docs https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/vanilla/

[Stephen Edgar]

I just saw your message in #bbpress IRC chat room

The bbPress Vanilla2 importer does not support threaded replies out of the box, there are far too many plugins available for all the forum packages to try and support all the possible permutations and combinations these would cause.

So that said, you would have to modify the importer to support the ‘ReplyTo’ Vanilla plugin, I just took a quick peek at the plugin and here you go, add the snippet of code here to the reply section or use the full file and replace your current bbPress Vanilla2.php file I added here and I think will do the trick.

[Robin W]

Not a quick answer – how well are you able to code?

[Robin W]

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

and see

Have you been through

[Jon Christopher]

It looks like the issue is compounded by

// Setup the From header
$headers[] = 'From: ' . get_bloginfo( 'name' ) . ' ' . $do_not_reply;

as well. Mandrill complains that the format isn’t an email address and fails validation. Not sure if this is a change in the latest bbPress update but I had to modify that as well.

Running a few tests, it looks like the new BCC setup continues to work as expected through Mandrill.

hello

i have a wordpress site with bbpress installed. i have 3 subforums in bbpress. on the homepage of my wordpress site, i would like to list out those 3 forums with the lastest 5 posts from each.

please take a look at this image:

the styling doesn’t have to look like the attached as long as i can list out the individual subforums and 5 of its most recent posts.

i have setup 3 columns with ability to put shortcodes.

i tried using some of the shortcodes provided by bbpress with no luck.

SOS please!!! i’m running out of options…lol

thanks in advance,

chris

[Stephen Edgar]

Confirm the capitalization of the language setting is the same for all the files:

e.g.

• wp-config.php -> define ('WPLANG', 'he_IL');
• bbpress-he_IL.mo
• bbpress-he_IL.po

Also make sure the bbPress translation files are stored in /wp-content/languages/bbpress/

Hi,

I have a problem with syntax highlighter in bbpress (plugin). Normaly, after I’ve used Crayon and paste the example code

void loop()
{
digitalWrite
}

it generates in the background (if I switch to text mode)

<pre class="lang:arduino decode:true crayon-selected">void loop()
{
digitalWrite
}</pre>

It works good for admin, but if somebody else (member) try to post a code, the tag </pre> disappears, so his code will be not highlighted and in the published post I can see the code and a part of Crayon’s tag like this

<pre class="lang:arduino decode:true crayon-selected">void loop()
{
digitalWrite
}

I’ve noticed about restrictions in html-tags etc. but as I can see in formatting.php pre is allowed tag.

What is the problem?

Thanks in advance.
