And yet ANOTHER problem: If you go in to EDIT a post, the edit box itself only shows the code you posted, and not the rendered HTML.

[Nate]

To clarify: The post I just made wasn’t a copy and paste. I simply used the toolbar to format my post, and it just displays the code on the following page.

[Nate]

I’m the keymaster but its affecting everyone. And it’s your traditional HTML, nothing fancy. A few span codes, but nothing is rendering at all.

In fact, and probably an even bigger problem: I just posted to the site from the VISUAL tab, and the resulting post was pure code! This has only started happening since switching to 2.3.1, and I’m also using your new plugin.

[Jared Atchison]

What user role are you? What HTML are you posting? Are you putting this code int he visual tab or the text tab (pre 2.3.1)?

[Jared Atchison]

Plugin that will add back the visual tab to the editor: bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab

No code required. Just activate and you’re done.

[Jared Atchison]

Copy:

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css

to:

wp-content/themes/[YOUR-THEME]/css/bbpress.css

And that’s all it takes 🙂

bbPress will auto-detect the CSS file in your theme and use that instead of it’s own.

Hey guys,

Looking for a bit of help with integrating bbPress into a theme called Directory.

I’ve set it up, installed plugin and created forum – on my forums page I don’t have any forum listing, not even “There are no forums” comes up.

I looked to do the work around method which was to use the shortcode on a page, but this breaks the page and still shows nothing – when I say it breaks the page I get no footer if I choose the full width template, or I get the same as the link below if I choose default template.

So obviously the issue lies in the theme’s template not interacting well with bbPresses setup, how would I go about setting up a page template that’ll work with bbPress?

http://www.moiravillage.info/dev/forums/forum/moira-community/

That is the bbPress forum page

WP Version 3.5.1
bbPress 2.3.1

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks,

Warren

On line 889 of your theme’s styles.css you have a style that hides the replies

.reply {
    display: none;
}

Just remove it.
Or you could add this code if you have a custom css option.

#bbpress-forums .reply {
    display: block;
}

[Jared Atchison]

At this moment there is not a shortcode that will do this. I assume you meant “Create New Topic”?

You could easily create a link that goes to the editor on whatever forum you want.

Such as linking to http://yoursite.com/forums/forum/some-forum/#new-post.

[Jared Atchison]

That article is out of date and is no longer correct for the newly released 2.3.x.

With current version of bbPress, you only files that need to be in your theme are the files you plan on changing.

For example if you want to tweak the CSS, then you would copy the bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css to [your-theme-directory]/css/bbpress.css and bbPress will automatically use your version instead.

This goes for almost all the bbPress template files. For example, let’s sayo you want to edit the bbPress search page. You would copy bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-search.php to [your-theme-directory]/bbpress/content-search.php.

The only time you would really need to copy and create the entire bbPress template would be if you need it to be theme independent, eg distribute it.

Hopefully that makes some sense 🙂

I’m trying to follow this tutorial to create a child theme, but I’m having trouble on Step 6, where it asks me to copy the default theme from wp-content > plugins > bbpress > bbp-themes > bbp-twentyten.

There is no bbp-themes folder anywhere in the bbpress directory. The closest thing I found to a themes folder is the templates folder, which does contain some default styling. Could someone please explain to me how I can make Step 6 work? Or could you perhaps link me to an up-to-date tutorial?

Thanks!

[Jared Atchison]

I’d try contacting the developer, Yoast, and see if the can add a setting to disable the WP SEO plugins if bbPress is detected (is_bbpress()), which would allow you bbPress to use its own breadcrumbs on bbPress pages and use WPSEO breadcrumbs on all other areas of the site.

Alternative he could also make his plugin disable the bbPress breadcrumbs all together.

[Jared Atchison]

You’ll likely see a plugin popup in the WordPress.org repo soon that will prevent the need to deal with any code directly.

The info below does not address the OPs question for performance, but rather is an answer to the questions regarding emails being sent out all together.

This does happen unfortuantly and it’s usually do to the server setup. We see this a lot with shared hosting.

The WordPress function that handles email, wp_mail() (more info here), uses the PHP mail function to send it’s emails (bbPress uses this as well). Many hosting environments have a throttle on how many emails can be sent using their SMTP servers, which are used by default.

The solution is to use a different SMTP server/service to send out the emails and not rely on the default one hosting provider’s server uses.

The first thing you will want to do is install one of the many SMTP plugins that are available on the WordPress.org plugin repository. I’ve used WP SMTP before without any issues.

After that’s installed you’ll want to configure that plugin to use your new SMTP service.

Sometimes you can ask your host for this information and by just using their SMTP service through the plugin will fix the issue. Other times it doesn’t, which means you’ll need a new SMTP service all together.

There are a ton of great paid SMTP services available, most should be suitable. SendGrid seems to be a popular one, which gives you 40,000 emails/month for $10.

It’s not ideal that emails don’t always “just work” out of the box, however it almost always boils down to the web host. Especially when some emails send out fine but others don’t go through.

Hello

I’m trying to modify the latest topics widget with CSS. I want to show the widget like the IMAGE 1, but with my poor knowledge of CSS i can obtain only the IMAGE 2.

I’m using the following:

float: left;
height: 30px;
width: 30px;
}

What can I add to show my widget similar to IMAGE 1? Only the image and text, not the comments and likes icon.

Thanks

[Simpas81]

please how to show a button “Create New Forum” inside the widget? any shortcode?

Thank you,

I would like to see an option on the settings page to turn on the visual editor instead of fidgeting around with placing code somewhere…

[premitheme]

Good version, but it break some tiny things in posting unfiltered HTML and codes snippets, I wish to see bbPress 2.3.2 soon

Same thing here, for example when trying to add class name for pre tag it breaks.

I wonder why you didn’t give us some time to test Changeset 4867 ?!

[Kaenim]

Edit – Sorry, the latter error was because I missed part of my functions.php code to comment out. Editing accordingly.

I’ve been using the following code, originally found in my functions.php to change “Key Master” to “Administrator”:`function my_custom_roles( $role, $user_id, $user_role ) {
if( $role == ‘Key Master’ )
return ‘Administrator’;

return $role;
}

add_filter( ‘bbp_get_user_display_role’, ‘my_custom_roles’, 10, 3 );`

Which returns the error: “Warning: Missing argument 3 for my_custom_roles() in /home/kaenim/public_html/test/wp-content/themes/bsky/functions.php on line 216” above my avatar.

Does anyone know what this “argument 3” is, or how I could modify this code to work in 2.3.1? I’d ask in the original discussion, but it’s several months old and to be honest, I’m simply not aware of what bbPress’ forum policy is regarding reviving old topics; I figured making a new topic would be best.

[Arturo]

i’ve pasted in functions.php the code in the codex page to re-activate the editor and i’ve this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE

any help for this?

Thanks!

We turned off the visual editor in 2.3.1 because of issues users were having losing formatting when switching between visual and HTML modes.

We put up a snippet with the 2.3.1 release to re-enable it.

Enable Visual Editor

[John James Jacoby]

Try hitting Tools > Forums > Repair Forums

…and run the “Remap existing users to default forum roles” fixer.

Basically, blog admins aren’t always forum admins, they need to also be Key Masters. Sounds like you lost (or never had) the Key Master role.

It may be worth approaching this differently in a future version, and trusting administrators implicitly.

Hey all,

Just noticed a new update and also noticed that this update removes the new editor.. Ive added the code to my custom functions file to make the new editor display..

Was there a reason the new editor was removed ?? I hadn’t had any issues with it as of yet and am not sure if i should revert back to the old one or not.

Regards, Darren
