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?

[mojomo]

My theme support was able to solve the problem by applying stylesheet code fixes, thx.

[jbdizzle]

So I changed the names of the user roles. I would like to change the text color of each role. Here is the code that I am using to change the name. Could I just wrap the role name in a color code?

add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'my_bbp_custom_role_names');

function my_bbp_custom_role_names(){
 return array(

        // Keymaster
        bbp_get_keymaster_role() => array(
            'name'         => __( 'The Dragon Born', 'bbpress' ),
            'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() )
        ),

        // Moderator
        bbp_get_moderator_role() => array(
            'name'         => __( 'Moderator', 'bbpress' ),
            'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() )
        ),

        // Participant
        bbp_get_participant_role() => array(
            'name'         => __( 'Legionnaire', 'bbpress' ),
            'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
        ),

        // Spectator
        bbp_get_spectator_role() => array(
            'name'         => __( 'Spectator', 'bbpress' ),
            'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_spectator_role() )
        ),

        // Blocked
        bbp_get_blocked_role() => array(
            'name'         => __( 'Blocked', 'bbpress' ),
            'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_blocked_role() )
        )
    );
}

p.s. Is there a way to change what each of these roles have access to?

Hi there,

I’ve spent a while searching the forums/web regarding custom views, but am a little bit stumped at the moment. Some of the only reference that I’ve found is a bit outdated (though it still seems to work) and incomplete.

I’d like to create 2 custom views:

• Display a particular user’s favorites (let’s say user_id is hard-coded to 2)
• Display a particular user’s subscribed topics (again, let’s say user_id is hard-coded to 2)

Any points in the right direction? Ideas for resources on the topic of custom views?

[laternastudio]

Sorry, that wasn’t clear in my first post. They’ll regardless of which user is logged in, they’ll need to go here:

http://www.example.com/profile

The session data will determine which information to display.

[laternastudio]

Hi there,

I’m working with a custom profile setup (consolidating the profiles from multiple plugins) and and wondering how I can redirect a bbpress user to this central profile when they try to access their forum profile. In other words, how do I make it so that someone who tries to visit:

http://www.example.com/forums/user/johnsmith

is redirected to:

http://www.example.com/profile

I saw a very old post in this forum that discussed this topic, and they suggested using the following method:

add_action('bb_init', 'profile_redirect');

function profile_redirect() {
    if (is_bb_profile() && $_GET['tab'] != 'edit' && $_GET['tab'] != 'favorites') {
        $user = bb_get_user($_GET['id']);
        if ($user) wp_redirect("http://www.example.com/member/" . $user->user_nicename);
    }
}

Since it’s so old, it doesn’t work anymore, and honestly, what I’d like to do is slightly different. I’d like to redirect a user away from the profile page (regardless of which section they’re on–whether it be favorites, subscriptions, or edit profile) as long as:

1. They are logged in
2. They are on their ownprofile page

How could I do that with the current version of WordPress?

[Robin W]

Chill, we’ll hopefully work it out.

you might (should) want to create a test site. Whilst that may seem daunting, it is quite easy to do, and once done a great way to test stuff without risking the live site.

see

https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/

Couple of questons when you are ready

1. The page you are linking to – this is just a members page, not a link to the forum pages?
2. What is your forum slug called (go into dashboard>settings>forums and look for forum slug.

[Robin W]

Please don’t apologise for inexperience, we’re were all there once !

Just double checked it and the code is fine.

Probably an issue with you either not copying across fully, or a paste error.

Delete the code, copy across again and retry

if it still fails, come back with the bit of code that is on the line it falls at (and the line before please!)

and I’ll look further

[mcleandesign]

Boy do I feel like a fish out of water here…sheesh. I’ve been designing for 30+ years and just now moving into this new medium, it’s challenging me for sure. I’m pretty insecure about messing with the code on my own, but have some folks I can draw in to help me with this. But before I do any of that I’ll just throw a few more thoughts into the ring just to clarify. First, yes, this is a paid theme from themeforest as well as the pro version of S2, which is what my suspect is causing the conflict (due to other things I’ve read online. I’ve sent a query to S2 to see what their thoughts are as well).

I guess what I’m unsure about in your reply above is about the page templates. The only thing I’ve done is install bbPress, click the activate button, and then the sidebar widget disappears. To test this isn’t template related I created a new page, not based on any theme, just added a full width panel and my set the page to show my left sidebar with custom widget.

I previewed the page, which looked accurate, then activated the bbPress plug in and as suspected, the left sidebar widget disappeared. The theme still show the left sidebar space, but no widget is present.

So, here I am scratching my head… feeling like a dummy. My first thought is, get another cup of coffee. Second thought is hire you to fix it for me <grin>. #2 sounds like it has much better success. Although, it doesn’t teach me how to overcome my challenge, so, I guess in the long run that is self defeating.

Ideally, I’d like the forum to function within the space to the right of our sidebar, but haven’t even begun to think about how to even set up the forum yet, still trying to figure out why it’s messing up what I’ve already created.

While you’re reading this (and probably laughing at my inexperience…which is OK, I laugh at myself all the time) I’ll see if I can decipher the step-by-step instructions. And, truly, if you want to jump in and do some private consultation I’d be happy to give you my phone number and we can talk personally. Don’t know if that breaks rules or what..but just thought I’d throw it on the table.

Thanks for your help Robin.. I appreciate it more than you know…truly. Also, I’m going to be out of the office most of the day, so we may have to continue this conversation on Monday.

[koendb]

I had to read better. It was in the Codex is_page() function reference.

Had to reset the query after the loop:
wp_reset_query(); // and after that:
if(is_page()){ // etc.

[Mike]

Thanks, but I finished and moved on. I tried and failed with several different approaches like this, but copying and altering 2 functions took less than 2 minutes as the //comments were clear about how to disable the AJAX.

I took me almost 2 weeks part-time to customise the bbpress forum. I spent a lot of time messing with IDs and classes to target CSS changes and trying to figure out the proper code to modify defaults.

For example finding the code to return just an “edit” for replies was a matter of great googling and some luck.

[Robin W]

ok, I presume that bbpress is deactivated on the live site at the moment.

I suspect that bbpress is using the wrong page template probably the one that the page “what the hinge” is using.

Given that this is a paid theme from themeforest, so may have very complicated page templates, can you look and see what page templates are available that bbpress might be using

[Robin W]

add the following to your functions file, and the sub forum descriptions will display

//This function adds descriptions to the sub forums
function custom_list_forums( $args = '' ) {

	// Define used variables
	$output = $sub_forums = $topic_count = $reply_count = $counts = '';
	$i = 0;
	$count = array();

	// Parse arguments against default values
	$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
		'before'            => '<ul class="bbp-forums-list">',
		'after'             => '</ul>',
		'link_before'       => '<li class="bbp-forum">',
		'link_after'        => '</li>',
		'count_before'      => ' (',
		'count_after'       => ')',
		'count_sep'         => ', ',
		'separator'         => ', ',
		'forum_id'          => '',
		'show_topic_count'  => true,
		'show_reply_count'  => true,
	), 'list_forums' );

	// Loop through forums and create a list
	$sub_forums = bbp_forum_get_subforums( $r['forum_id'] );
	if ( !empty( $sub_forums ) ) {

		// Total count (for separator)
		$total_subs = count( $sub_forums );
		foreach ( $sub_forums as $sub_forum ) {
			$i++; // Separator count

			// Get forum details
			$count     = array();
			$show_sep  = $total_subs > $i ? $r['separator'] : '';
			$permalink = bbp_get_forum_permalink( $sub_forum->ID );
			$title     = bbp_get_forum_title( $sub_forum->ID );
			$content = bbp_get_forum_content($sub_forum->ID) ;

			// Show topic count
			if ( !empty( $r['show_topic_count'] ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) ) {
				$count['topic'] = bbp_get_forum_topic_count( $sub_forum->ID );
			}

			// Show reply count
			if ( !empty( $r['show_reply_count'] ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) ) {
				$count['reply'] = bbp_get_forum_reply_count( $sub_forum->ID );
			}

			// Counts to show
			if ( !empty( $count ) ) {
				$counts = $r['count_before'] . implode( $r['count_sep'], $count ) . $r['count_after'];
			}

			// Build this sub forums link
			$output .= $r['before'].$r['link_before'] . '<a href="' . esc_url( $permalink ) . '" class="bbp-forum-link">' . $title . $counts . '</a>' . $show_sep . $r['link_after'].'<div class="bbp-forum-content">'.$content.'</div>'.$r['after'];
		}

		// Output the list
		return $output ;
	}
}

add_filter('bbp_list_forums', 'custom_list_forums' );

[tharsheblows]

Hi Mike – to filter the ajax call try this :

function hide_before2 ($args = array() ) {
$args['before'] = '&nbsp';
$args['subscribe'] = '<i class="genericon genericon-subscribe"></i>Subscribe';  
$args['unsubscribe'] = '<i class="genericon genericon-unsubscribe"></i>Unsubscribe'; // or whatever
 
 return $args;
} 

add_filter('bbp_before_get_user_subscribe_link_parse_args', 'hide_before2');

<can people see edits? I’m just wondering if anyone can see my stupid errors>

Anyway, you should, I think, be able to use the above *instead* of your copied functions as it will work with the initial ones too not just after the ajax call.

[tharsheblows]

I am totally guessing with this – but I think you’ll be using this on a single topic right? So maybe try bbp_is_single_topic() . Here is the list of conditional tags I looked at: https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-conditional-tags/

[Robin W]

1) have you set up your email address in dashboard>settings>general?

2) If registration is automatic, then they’ll be sent a password. They can change this in their bbpress profile – they can just click on their avatar, or you can add this to wdigets or the menu – see

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[Stephen Edgar]

A clean install breaks it again. I’m not sure what it is that out-of-the-box would break it like that, but it appears there is a conflict between BuddyPress 2.0 and bbPress 2.5.3.

This is extremely rare, not saying it can’t happen, the fact that BuddyPress uses bbPress for forums 99% of the time the BuddyPress developers will have bbPress enabled. I have BuddyPress enabled for ~75% of the time and typically only deactivate it when working on bbPress profiles. In short we usually catch any conflicts ourselves before releasing a new version of either plugin.

Also the fact that I have both plugins activated now using the same slugs you are trying to use and don’t get that error eliminates the plugins having a conflict as the issue in this case.

Can you spin up an entirely fresh WordPress install with just bbPress and BuddyPress and use the Twenty Fourteen theme and see if the issue still occurs.

I just went trawling through the raw database options for WordPress in wp_options trying to find something that may cause the conflict and couldn’t find anything of interest.

[Stephen Edgar]

Throughout WordPress and bbPress and BuddyPress included having posts, pages, terms can NOT have the same slug, most likely you have something else either titled or using the slug discuss and this includes any items in trash as even though they are in the trash they still reserve that slug and it is not released until the item is removed from the trash.

I cant seem to find an error for the term “Possible BuddyPress Conflict”, where are you seeing this error?

[Stephen Edgar]

Doing so breaks the page. It creates a conflict by attempting to dynamically generate a forum root, using the same url as the wordpress page which is using the shortcode.

This works fine for me and is part of the backend philosophy of how bbPress works allowing a page with the same name as the forum root to take precedence.

* Created a page titled discuss and added the shortcode [bbp-forum-index]
* Changed the bbPress setting ‘Forum Root Slug -> Forum Root’ to discuss

So now for the site http://example.com/
– A forum list at http://example.com/discuss/
– A topic at http://example.com/discuss/topic/exammple-topic/
– A forum at http://example.com/discuss/forum/example-forum/

After 1 day importet from e107 forum tu bbpress! Alleluia!

Excellent 🙂

old code for video youtube not fix

I’ll take a look at the BBCode’s and see what I can find and add some conversions for them (if I can can)

utf8 encoding accented words not fix

Hmmmm, this might be a little harder, will take a look.

Stephen for news and content from e107 to wordpress I asked a programmer who will take me some money, if he fails, can you do it?

I’m not sure I’d be able to help, I have never used e107, I have a basic forum setup and that is it. I do everything I need for bbPress directly in the MySQL database.

[rendi edwido]

Seen your problem was solved.
You are so nice to make the guest allow Html code.
Cheers for you mate

on styling, yes all can be changed.

for lots of help.

On your page http://atlantacraftbeer.com/beer-exchange/ – what is this page? In theory if it is a normal page with a sidebar, and you put the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode on it it should work.
How is this page set up?

[dustinarmstrong]

Doing so breaks the page. It creates a conflict by attempting to dynamically generate a forum root, using the same url as the wordpress page which is using the shortcode.
