Unites States and it’s territories and then one for “international” to start with.. so I’m looking at 57ish. If I get lots of members outside of the US I would eventually split the international section up as well (I don’t necessarily foresee this). I’m looking into doing what I need with s2member conditionals now. I’ll have to have people choose their state, then generate different paypal buttons for each one so they’ll get a proper s2member conditional and then I’ll set up a forum page that uses shortcode conditionals to show them just the forum I want them to see. I’m not sure this will integrate perfectly with my bbpress/buddypress setup (I’m concerned about the activity pages and such) but we’ll see. I’ll definitely watch for updates to your plugin–it sounds perfect for when it’s got an unlimited number of groups.

The bbPress shortcodes are:

[bbp-login] – Display the login screen.
[bbp-register] – Display the register screen.
[bbp-lost-pass] – Display the lost password screen.

I suspect some of your issues are more WordPress related rather than specificly bbPress

Have you tried copying and renaming your full width page template as per

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[Stephen Edgar]

@buzzybee24 In your WordPress theme folder eg \wp-content\themes\mytheme

Look for a file named page.php and make a copy of this file and rename it to bbpress.php

Thanks @robin-w it is in fact a theme issue, I’m now guessing there is some snippet of code which i’ll have to insert into the theme, does anyone know by chance which code snippet is required, or have a link to another thread on here to help my boneheaded self out – thanks again for all your help 😀

[Robin W]

ok thanks – I can only assume that this is related to how wamp deals with local urls, as I can neither see how the code could get to that stage, nor can I replicate on-line.

However leave it with me, and I’ll see if I can add some code that checks to see if it looks like a url.

If you leave these both blank, does it go to a login or 404 page as it should?

Hi community,

I’m trying to redirect all the register steps out of wp-admin or wp-login.php to finally hide completely wp-admin section to users. Since now I’ve succeed with registration and field errors, but now I’m trying to do the same with the help of [lost-password].

The shortcode above works properly but the problem comes when an email with the /wp-login.php?action=rp&key=Y4I9GCCGagXxiaWk&login=my_user redirects the user to the wp-admin/wp-login area. This area has two fields “New password” and “Confirm new password”. Is there a shortcode who shows the same two fields in a custom page without the need of use wp-admin/wp-login area?

Thank you in advance for your help and time.

[Robin W]

Maybe not the most elegant, but this is quick and easy and should do it

In you theme, create a folder called ‘bbpress’ eg

wp-content/themes/your-theme-name/bbpress

then create a file called

content-single-user.php

into that put the following code

<?php

/**
 * Single User Content Part
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

?>

<div id="bbpress-forums">

	<?php echo 'Sorry access not permitted' ; ?>
</div>

then save this file to the bbpress folder you created above

If you want to completely hide the page, you could just put say your homepage url into the echo line and they would just be taken to the homepage.

Ok so you’re a wordpress site – so see

Codex

for step by set how to install

I found this one: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-error-on-pages-without-sharebar
The hack proposed in that topic solved my issue which was caused by JS error. Hoping that plugin will be fixed at some point, so I don’t need to hack into its code with every update…

[Stephen Edgar]

There are no issues using bbPress 2.5.3 and WordPress 3.9 they are 100% compatible.

Any issues will be as @phpnukes points out theme issues or plugin conflicts.

I suspect your issue @buzzybee24 is indeed a theme issue, check your themes faq and/or support sites for information on using your theme with bbPress v2.x. If you can’t find anything most likely you will need to make a copy of your themes page.php file and rename it to bbpress.php in your theme folder.

@phpnukes Your issue will be a plugin conflict as to why some of the items are missing in the dashboard.

[Robin W]

great – thank you – I will update the code to stop the error for future users !

[Robin W]

ok, just because it was annoying me, I looked further

you should have a folder in your theme called forums which has a number of .css files in it.

As far as I can work out, somewhere you can set up schemes for your forums within this these, or another plugin, and you have selected theme 4?

Anyway two .css files are active

in http://www.betatestarena.com/forums/

the page is using

/forums/#4.css as it’s style file

This has

body.it-background {
}

ie not set, but uses

body.custom-background {
  background-attachment: fixed;
  background-color: #000000;
  background-image: url("http://www.betatestarena.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Background.png");
  background-position: center top;
  background-repeat: repeat-x;
}

to give you the background color

In your other link – http://www.betatestarena.com/forum/announcements/

the page is using

/forums/ammouncements/#4.css as its style file

which has

body.it-background {
  background-image: none !important;
}
body.it-background {
  background-color: #D2D2D8 !important;
}

on lines 760 and 761

which set the off-white color.

so play with these settings to get what you want.

For future readers, I was able to accomplish the redirect with this simple line of code:

add_filter( 'bbp_pre_get_user_profile_url', function() {
	return get_bloginfo('url').'/profile';
});

Very simple, really!

You can also change the default url for favorites and subscriptions by doing this:

// Replace the default link for the favorites
add_filter( 'bbp_get_favorites_permalink', function() {
	return get_bloginfo('url').'/profile/forum-favorites';
});

// Replace the default link for subscriptions
add_filter( 'bbp_get_subscriptions_permalink', function() {
	return get_bloginfo('url').'/profile/forum-subscriptions';
});

Of course, if you’re using pre PHP 5.3.1 (or are developing a plugin) you’ll need to create actual functions rather than using anonymous functions.

[Robin W]

As I think you have guessed as you posted a while ago on the Emphaino wordpress support site, this is a theme issue.

I can only suggest you try a basic bbpress page to see if this will display sufficiently well to fit in with your theme.

So create a file called bbpress.php and into this drop the following code

<?php
get_header(); ?>

		<div id="container">
			<div id="content" role="main">

			<?php
			/* Run the loop to output the page.
			 * If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
			 * called loop-page.php and that will be used instead.
			 */
			get_template_part( 'loop', 'page' );
			?>

			</div><!-- #content -->
		</div><!-- #container -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Then save this file in the root of your theme.

bbpress will then use this file instead of your theme’s page file for the display of bbpress pages.

Give it a go, and if it fixes the problem come back and let us know. If it doesn’t then you will need to do some styling, and that will take some research to fix !

[Robin W]

Without using code for 21K users, I can get it to 42 quick actions – or the same action 42 times !

NOW be careful – make sure you know who you want to be different – eg administrators, as if you bulk change and then log out without changing back, then you may lose admin access – and then you’ll need to use phpmyadmin using nasty sql stuff to correct this.

So start by making a list of users with admin, or other wordpress roles you’ll want to be different – write these names onto a post it note and stick this to your screen so you won’t forget !!!!


Then go into

Dashboard>users>all users

At the top right of the page you see ‘screen options’ click this and typically you’ll see a part that says

20 users apply

Change this to 999 users and click the apply box.

This will then display 999 users at a time, so you can bulk change 999 in one go.

Then next to the ‘username’ heading you’ll see a tick box which is the ‘select all’ option, click this and it will select all 999 of page 1 users

Above this you’ll see a ‘bulk actions’ and then the bits we want to the right of that – the ability to change the wordpress and forum roles.

So having ticked to select all the 999 users displayed on page 1, click the ‘change role to’ and select the subscriber role, and then the change box, and hey presto all 999 are now subscribers.

Tick the ‘select all’ again, and select the bbpress participant role, and change that.

so now all page 1 users are correctly set.

Now select page 2 on the right just below the bulk change forum role and repeat !

So for each page (21 or 22 of them) you do

Select page
click ‘the select all’ box,
click forum to ‘subscriber’ and click change
click ‘the select all’ box,
click role to ‘particpant’ and click change
select next page

THEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHANGE THE ADMINS BACK BEFORE LOGGING OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Probably taken me longer to type these instructions than for you to execute them !

Mod Note: I edited your post Robin 😉 Cheers, Stephen

Thanks Stephen,

Yes, it is weird! The permalink remedy didn’t work but thanks for responding. I think what I’ll do is make note of any code changes I’ve made and then uninstall and reinstall both bbpress and tweaks. There may be some conflict in there that I can’t see — I started this project a few months ago and went away from it for awhile.

cheers, Cheryl

[mshafshak]

i have 21k users that have site roles “none” and empty forum roles thats maybe coz ijust shfted from a joomla website into wordpress & bbpress. I want to make the site role ‘subscriber’ and forum role ‘participant’ to all users how can this be done with writing a code ??

[Stephen Edgar]

The patch should work fine for any user with the capability read_private_replies which includes the included bbPress Keymaster and Moderator. Are you sure the user/role you are using has the read_private_replies capability?

Install this plugin and navigate to the users profile in the WordPress dashboard to confirm the role and capability of a user.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-capabilities/

[mlocke90]

Should this patch allow anyone who has the read_private_replies cap to see topic content? or just the Admin / keymaster?

I applied the code and it fixed it for admin/keymasters but not for a custom role with read_private_replies cap.

[Primus Palus]

If I view the index of the bbpress forum I can see my background image for my theme. When I click to go into a specific forum, the background is replaced with a color (off white).

I imagine this is all CSS related and somewhere in the code. I however would like to set all forums to show the same background. I am using a theme called “Explicit” for my wordpress site.

Thanks. I hate being new to this.

[Robin W]

re changing roles, see

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[Evan Herman]

Probably not the most elegant solution, but something I came up with to temporarily resolve the issue.

First we grab the classes assigned to the body class:

$body_class = get_body_class();

Then we just check if bbpress is in the body class array, and if it is, I’ve decided to use jQuery to just switch the classes on the navigation item.

if ( in_array('bbpress',$body_class) ) {
		?>
		<script>
		  jQuery(document).ready(function() {
		    jQuery('.menu-item-347').removeClass('current_page_parent');
		    jQuery('.menu-item-2592').addClass('current_page_parent');
		  });
		</script>
<?php
	}

[Robin W]

suggest you start with looking at

bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/members.php

This changes bbpress to go to buddypress profile, and should give you all the code you need.

[ultramalcolm]

I’ve installed bbpress, but when I go to the forum in a browser, I just get this message:

Fatal error: Class 'WP_Post' not found in /nfs/c09/h02/mnt/137912/domains/profoodblogger.com/html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/theme-compat.php on line 375

How can I begin tracking this down?
