Hi guys, 😀

Thanks for all the incredible work you do on BBPress!

I’m using WordPress 3.6.1, BuddyPress 1.8.1 and BBPress 2.4.1

The page titles for wordpress and buddypress have been fixed.

However, BBPress has completely stopped interacting with Buddypress. By this I mean no new topics, posts, mentions or any action made by my members in BBPress are showing in their profile activity or in the ‘Notifications’ section of the WP admin bar.

I’ve also added this code to a base ‘Forum’ page:

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/content', 'archive-topic' ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/form', 'topic' ); ?>

And in the topic section the ‘Forum’ select field has ‘No forum’ as the default selection. Rather than taking the first forum as the default as in BBPress 2.3.2.

Thanks!

For the smileys I think that it is a better idea to replace ::) with 🙄 (: roll :).

@stephen, thanks for your comment! I have solved the problem! I have doenlaod the translations .po and .mo from the /dev branch and upload those 2 files to wp-content/bbpress/languages/ and rename the files to bbpress-nl_NL.po & bbpress-nl_NL.mo

Can’t see anything wrong with your code is_bbpress()works on my conditional statements

[Robin W]

BBpress comes with roles that you can set for each user, just go into dashboard>users and set them up – they’re at the bottom of the page

see this article

Hi, I’m also having the exact same problem and I’m wondering why this hasn’t been addressed yet? It wouldn’t have been an issue for me but BuddyPress now insists that you use bbpress for the forums.

PLEASE help someone!

Thanks Zearl, need to modify your code slightly to get it to work:
Had to remove ‘$user_role’

function my_custom_roles( $role, $user_id ) {
if( $role == ‘Key Master’ )
return ‘Site Owner’;
return $role;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_user_display_role’, ‘my_custom_roles’, 10, 3 );

@mdroca You should paste that code into your theme’s functions.php file. Here’s a guide on how to do that safely: http://wp-events-plugin.com/tutorials/how-to-safely-add-php-code-to-wordpress/

Also, for others wanting to hide bbPress breadcrumbs, this code is a bit more compact but does the same job:
add_filter('bbp_no_breadcrumb', function($arg) { return true; } );

[WPSeeker]

Thanks for the reply Stephen. Am I correct in assuming that posting to bbPress is just like creating any WordPress custom post?

And if so, could I make my own post submission form using Gravity Forms, or are there hooks that need to be used to get it to post correctly?

[Stephen Edgar]

There is no way to automatically assign topic tags at this stage.

Hi all.

I am using bbpress fist time.
I have configured the login widget with links to my “lost password” & “registr” page i have created with shortcodes: [bbp-register] , [bbp-lost-pass].
I have also created an page with shortcode: [bbp-login] which then i have changed the redirect link from wp-login to my own page link of the shortcode for login. The change i have done in bbpress/includes/common/template.php around line 1154.

Now my issue is that after i run a test register (from my page created with the shortcode) nothing happens. I get redirected to my custom login page. But i get no email or my test user does not show up in “Users” in my WP backend.

I have following plugins installed:
Advanced Custom Fields
bbPress – Report Content
bbPress Notices
bbPress Notify (No-Spam)
bbpress Simple Advert Units
bbPress Users Stats
Better WP Security
Crumina Menu Customizer
Facebook
Google Fonts WordPress
Math Captcha
Page Builder by SiteOrigin
WPBakery Visual Composer
WP Maintenance Mode

Hope someone can help me on this issue. 🙂

[WPSeeker]

Great, thanks it worked! Is there any way of doing something similar with the tags? I want the tags automatically created without the user having any choice.

[Stephen Edgar]

Also updated the codex to reflect the correct shortcode syntax https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

[Stephen Edgar]

Try using [bbp-topic-form forum_id=544]

[WPSeeker]

Hi

I read in the docs that you can now specify a forum to post to using the shortcodes without having to use the dropdown forum selection.

I tried using this shortcode but it doesn’t seem to work and I still get the dropdown.

[bbp-topic-form id=544]

I want to load a form to create a new thread but have the forum hardcoded.

Thanks

Steps to help get started https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

[Stephen Edgar]

What happens after you have run the repair tool “Remap existing users to default forum roles”
https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/

[Stephen Edgar]

You may have enabled ‘Threaded Replies’ in the settings and this would stop you from seeing any pagination.

https://codex.bbpress.org/forum-settings/#forum-features

[Stephen Edgar]

Yes, they will get overwritten and details on what to copy and where to copy them to can be found here:
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

[Stephen Edgar]

OK, turns out the CSV won’t cut the mustard in this case, so these two queries match the results of the last dataset you send me.

SELECT * FROM phpbb_topics WHERE phpbb_topics.topic_id > 330 AND phpbb_topics.topic_id < 338

SELECT * FROM phpbb_posts WHERE post_id IN (3810,3819,3840,3851,3862,3863)

Can you run both of those queries and this time when you click export (There are two export labels, click the one in the ‘Query results operations’ section)

This time you only need to select ‘quick’ and format ‘SQL’ and zip both thos files and attach a link here.

[Stephen Edgar]

That shouldn’t be an issue and as you are also seeing this for WordPress Blog posts I would expect it is either your browser, try another (Firefox, Chrome etc) and also clear the browsers cache though due to issues previously mentioned in this topic most likely an issue with your web host sadly.

Just to be safe before contacting your web host change your WordPress theme, try switching to Twenty Eleven/Twelve/Thirteen and see if the issues still persists.

Also I presume you ran the bbPress ‘Repair Tools’ after the import:

Dutch (nl) is at 98% in the /dev branch
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev
Dutch (nl) is at 0% in the /2.4.x branch
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.4.x
Dutch (nl) is at 100% in the /2.3.x branch
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.3.x

Most likely you have downloaded the 2.4.x branch as noted above as it is at 0% as there are translations waiting for approval.

Download the .po & .mo from the /dev branch

Rename and upload both bbpress-nl.po & bbpress-nl.mo to /wp-content/languages/bbpress/

[Stephen Edgar]

Spanish (es) is 100% complete in the /dev branch
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/es/default
Spanish (es) is 95% complete in the /2.4.x branch
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.4.x
Spanish (es) is 100% complete in the /2.3.x branch
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.3.x

via https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

You should have bbpress-es.po & bbpress-es.mo in /wp-content/languages/bbpress/

I have some code to show the sidebar based on what page it is, and it works fine for the pages, but no sidebar shows on any bbpress pages:

if (is_page(79) || is_child(79) || is_ancestor(79) || is_bbpress()){
dynamic_sidebar(‘memberbar-sidebar’);
}

[elitetester]

If a user makes a nice forum post I would like to be able to choose to post this single topic into a WP post/blog of categoryX. If I see another nice forum post then I would like to be able to choose to post this single topic to the same, or perhaps a different WP post/blog under categoryY. All video/images etc should be presented in WordPress as it would appear in the forum.

I’d like to see the topic content appearing as an article rather than a forum topic: No reply window shown even if logged in, instead show ‘number-of-replies’. No avatar, just a short comment ‘posted-by-xxx’. The topic title and ‘number-of-replies’ links the user to the respective forum topic in the main forum view.

————-
I was thinking this might be possible using shortcodes. e.g. create a new shortcode based on ‘bbp-single-topic’ (perhaps called ‘bbp-single-topic-post2blog’). Then add a drop-down-list beside each forum topic only visible for admins. The drop-down-list includes all WP posts/blogs. After selecting a WP post from the drop-down-list the shortcode and respective topic-ID gets added to the bottom of the WP post content.

What do you think? I have quite a clear picture on how this should work.
If this is possible I would be happy to test it.
