Erm.. it should be custom BB Code. 😀

Yeah.. sometime, in custom BB code, we do use a ; ‘ : | } ] [ * , or any other character . As myself had little bit PHP knowledge, (always do wp theme code myself and for clients), those character might broke some code if there’s no escape clause like \ (backslash) before some character ie: :\’\ etc …. As your note = shouldn’t but could be.

I’ve tried Rows Limit to 50 and 20 .. but not yet to 1. I’ll try that later.

I want to try it on localhost / my own pc. But when I think about my 500mb forum database file .. yeah.. you know.. I feeling down.. lol.

[focallocal]

thanks for the style sheet fix. any idea how long before its officially fixed in bbpress so i can decide whether to have a go at it myself or to wait?

i’m a little nervous about messing around with code as updates seem to break the things i change.. ironically in this case.

You might need to play a bit, and come back if this either works or doesn’t, I’ve only had a quick look, and suspect there’s a much better way…but

You main theme uses ‘Helvetica Neue’,sans-serif and the forum is using Arial

I’m still on 2.4.1 so can’t tell you which lines you need in version 2.5

So in the bbpress.css file you’ve correctly copied to theme’s folder, do a search for “font-size” and where you find it, add a line

font: ‘Helvetica Neue’,sans-serif;

That will take it in common with the main theme’s font.

for instance

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-title h3,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-title h3,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-title h3 {
	background: none;
	border: none;
	font-size: 16px;
 	line-height: 1em;
 	margin: 8px 0;
	padding: 0;
	text-transform: none;

you’d alter it to say

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-title h3,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-title h3,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-title h3 {
	background: none;
	border: none;
	font-size: 16px;
 	font: 'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;
 	line-height: 1em;
 	margin: 8px 0;
	padding: 0;
	text-transform: none;

Hi,

This is definitely a bug in bbp 2.5 on Windows. 2.4.1 does not have this issue. You can reproduce it by reverting to 2.4.1 (works again) -> update to 2.5 (doesn’t work again).

<link rel="stylesheet" id="bbp-default-css" href="http://localhost/wordpress37/wp-content/C:devhtdocswordpress37wp-contentpluginsbbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css?ver=2.5-5199" type="text/css" media="screen">

Windows 7 x64, httpd+php+mysqld, latest stable WP, BP, BBP

Diggories,

Some great tips there.

mm, the upgrade will have overwritten the change – as per first post

Of course you’ll need to make a note of this change, as it is lost whenever you upgrade bbpress versions

I haven’t upgraded yet, let me know if putting it back fixes it !

[Sloppy Buns]

oh if you want it to go directly to the edit profile section just add /edit at the end like this

<a href="http://yoursite.com/forums/users/[hana-code-insert name='BB Profile' /]/edit">My Profile</a>

[Sloppy Buns]

I don’t know if this will help or not however I have found a simple way to do a text link in a page or post.

I use the below PHP to call the current user

<?php global $current_user;
      get_currentuserinfo();

     echo  $current_user->user_login . "";
      
?>

And then surround it with a standard html link.

<a href="http://yoursite.com/forums/users/<?php global $current_user;
      get_currentuserinfo();

     echo  $current_user->user_login . "";
      
?>">My Profile</a>

I use a plugin called Hana Code Insert to place it in posts and pages using the following steps:

1.) Take the php code

<?php global $current_user;
      get_currentuserinfo();

     echo  $current_user->user_login . "";
      
?>

and place it in the “New Entry” box in the Hana Code Insert plugin and give it a name like “BB Profile” or what ever you want.

2.) Tick the “Evaluate as php code.” check box at the bottom of the “New Entry” field.

3.) Click “Create New Entry” and this will produce a shortcode something like this [hana-code-insert name='BB Profile' /]

4.) Then on the page or post you want to place the link just place the following <a href="http://yoursite.com/forums/users/[hana-code-insert name='BB Profile' /]">My Profile</a>

That’s it, hope it helps and I.m sure someone here can figure a way to use this in a menu link, I am still trying to figure that out.

Somehow, I just notice or suspecting that.. it might be related to either :
1 – post with custom BBtag.
2 – post/topic that has Poll option.

What is the custom ‘BBtAg’ is it ‘BBtag’, I can try to replicate this as we do use a 3rd party library to convert some BBCode and it could be a conflict there (shouldn’t be but could be)

I will also setup a ‘poll’ to try the import with.

Another thing I haven’t tried yet though this just came to me as an idea, when the conversion stops change the value of Rows Limit from 100 to 1 and click start again, causing it to go one row at a time.

This way when it stops and won’t go any further you should be able to look at _bbp_converter_startin thewp_optionsdatabase and add a1 to that number. This in affect will make the converter start again on the next row rather than the row it is failing on.

Once it gets past the problematic topic, you could click stop again, change it back to 100 and start again so the remainging 200k posts are not imported one by one.

Take a look at the Data Parameters of WP_Query https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Date_Parameters

You can also create custom views in bbPress eg.

function ntwb_register_custom_views() {
	bbp_register_view( 'popular-topics', __( 'Popular Topics' ), array( 'meta_key' => '_bbp_reply_count', 'orderby' => 'meta_value_num' ), false );
	bbp_register_view( 'unpopular-topics', __( 'Unpopular Topics' ), array( 'meta_key' => '_bbp_reply_count', 'orderby' => 'meta_value_num', 'order' => 'asc' ), false );
	bbp_register_view( 'random-topic', __( 'Random Topic' ), array( 'orderby' => 'rand' ), false );
	bbp_register_view( 'closed', __( 'Recently Closed' ), array( 'post_status' => 'closed' ), false );
	

}
add_action( 'bbp_register_views', 'ntwbc_register_custom_views' );

[FreeWPress]

yes topic subscriptions are ok.. it work fine..

I don’t have bbpress.php in my child theme folder…

[Stephen Edgar]

Edit: Just read your reply on Trac

Also check if you have a bbpress.php file in your child theme folder.

[FreeWPress]

I don’t have any custom bbpress-functions.php in my theme and i have copy entire user-subscriptions.php in my child theme. And it not work… I see only: You are not currently subscribed to any forums.

But i have subscribed three forums…

[Stephen Edgar]

I am pretty sure you are looking for the widgets https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/

[Stephen Edgar]

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2480 has been updated with some more info.

Also if you have a custom bbpress-functions.php in your theme that also needs to be updated.

[Bright Thought, LLC]

After I updated bbpress to version 2.5 the stylesheet for the default theme is not being linked correctly.

<link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’bbp-default-css’ href=’http://localhost/wordpress/almostaveragegamers/wp-content/C:xampphtdocswordpresswp-contentpluginsbbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css?ver=2.5-5199&#8242; type=’text/css’ media=’screen’ />

This is the way that the link is showing up when I look at the source code for the site which I am designing on a local host server. When I click on the link to see what is displayed this is what it is showing me below.

I’m trying to create a version of the Popular Topics widget that will only display posts that are less than a certain age.

I’ve been able to query popular posts with this:

$query = new WP_Query( array(
'posts_per_page' => 5,
'post_type'      => 'topic',
'meta_key'       => '_bbp_reply_count',
'orderby'        => 'meta_value',
'order'          => 'DESC'
);

But I would like to weed out any posts that are, let’s say, older than 1 week.

Is it possible to do this?
Can I somehow use an additional meta query and access each topic’s freshness?

[FreeWPress]

Hi, is correct because you have closed topic and bbpress use ccc colors text for closed topics..

If you want to change it, open bbpress css at line 66 and find:

#bbpress-forums .status-closed, #bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
    color: #CCCCCC;
}

change in #000000 or other colors…

[FreeWPress]

Link must be placed in content-single-forum.php and it show link.. But when i click on subscrive link it works, but if you go in subscrived section in your profile it show: You are not currently subscribed to any forums.
I have been updated user-subscriptions.php file with new code..

is bad!! :/

[mmichael1991]

Hi, I used the first solution.

But after when I looked at the code of my site, I noticed something strange.
It shows the text behind the logout button.
Pic (link to dropbox): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17971771/site.png

So has this something to do with my theme? Or can I simply fix this within bbPress?

Thanks for your help!

[FreeWPress]

If you use a children template you must to add manually new link…

<?php bbp_forum_subscription_link(); ?>

[PureLoneWolf]

Hi there

I upgraded to 2.5 this morning and, after noticing that some of my users were not assigned the participant role, ran the tool to remap users to default roles.

This had the unfortunate side-effect of setting both of my administrator accounts to Participant, and removed all Dashboard related links to bbpress.

In users, when I choose “Change Forum Role to” at the top of the user list, the highest level is moderator. Keymaster is no longer there.

Am I missing something?

I tried, in PHPMyAdmin, to change the wp_capabilities table from a:3:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;s:14:"backwpup_admin";b:1;s:15:"bbp_participant";b:1;} to a:3:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;s:14:"backwpup_admin";b:1;s:15:"bbp_keymaster";b:1;} after looking at a few posts on here. But that actually stopped access to the site until I changed it back.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

[Stephen Edgar]

You should have your translations in /wp-content/languages/bbpress/ not in the /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/languages/ folder.

See this for further information, also if your translations are at 100% for your language there is a very high chance you will now get this automatically updated when new translations are added/corrected etc.

I am having some trouble figuring out how to change the font type on my forum. Everything looks good except the forum index, which is using a font that looks like it’s done with a typewriter. I want to use a bolder, darker font link the rest of the site has. I’ve copied the bbpress to the themes folder and made a CSS folder and copied everything to there. I was looking through the code and I couldn’t make heads or tails out of it. Can someone go to http://www.lowvisionrants.com/forums and tell me how to change the font of that main page so it looks normal?

[psysex]

Dunno if that’s related to the same problem, but I see this in apache’s error log:
Duplicate entry ‘785’ for key ‘PRIMARY’ …. INSERT INTO wp_postmeta (post_id,meta_key,meta_value) VALUES (607,’_edit_last’,’1′)…

[iHaz]

Hey there, I just updated to the newest version 2.5. I still can’t see the forum subscriptions (when I go to my account, there is just

Subscribed Forum Topics
You are not currently subscribed to any topics.

Did I do something wrong?
