Its all good, you will be able to update to 2.3 fine.

Here’s some docs on how to get up and running with modified templates:

And of course you could just start using the 2.3 beta now

bbPress 2.3 Beta 2

A few quick questions

How can I create a forum that would be the main forum and have other forums be like sub-forums. I have tried using the parent forum feature but it does not do quite what I am looking for. For example, I would want it to look like this.

Google
-Android
-Google Plus
-Chrome

Also, is it possible to create a title for a list of forums. For example,

Main Forums
Forum Title 1
Forum Title 2
Forum Title 3

Other Forums
Forum Title 4
Forum Title 5

Lastly, is it possible to change the required fields that are necessary for forum registration. (I am using the short code for registration)

Any help is much appreciated.

I am trying to add the username underneath a person’s avatar, like in these forums (circled in the pic above). I know where to add the code in loop-single-reply.php and I have tried looking in the beta release of bbPress 2.3 in case it was included there, but I am not having any luck.

Would anyone know what code I would need to insert to bring up the username?

[Sambora5150]

Hello Foks

@goodintoday or somebody else can tell me exactly the code and where to apply it to show the  @username with the creator of the post

[nirzol]

Thx Garindan 😀 ! I do it like that for the moment. But is not good to modify core :/

Hope a nice solution will be find to that….

or a solution for shortcode work with the default page forums ?

thx

[nirzol]

I re up this topic because the problem still here.
If someone get a solution without modify the core ?

Thx a lot

[golfer300]

Is it possible to change the required information in the bbPress short code for registration.
Also, is it possible to make the registration for my site and the forum one and the same.
Any help is much appreciated.

UPDATE

I found a snippet of code that suppresses the “capabilities.php” warning of line 453.

I pasted the code into the wp-config file, just above the line that reads “/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging */”

I don’t know if this is harmful or not, but my research suggests that this issue with capabilities is only a warning, and that the host server may be set a little too sensitive for php error reporting. If I’m going about this all wrong, please, someone tell me so that I can go at this from a better angle. In the mean time, at least I can continue building and configuring my site without the warning presenting itself.

Here’s the code that I added to the wp-config file:

ini_set( 'display_errors', 'Off' );
ini_set( 'error_reporting', E_NONE );

@ Zilveer,
Thanks for this info. Very concise and direct. I am actually ok with the type of font (Trebuchet MS), but the coloring is bad for me.

Can I change the font colors for just the BBpress forum under the bbpress.css? Or will I need to edit some code in the style.css?

Thanks for the fast response.

Love this community!

[Pantheism]

Ugg, tried a few CSS codes, but no luck so far. Have not done website design in about 15 years. LOL.

I saw some info about editing the PHP files in BBpress to remove reference to the sidebar. Any idea what files I need to adjust to do it that way?

[Pantheism]

Can anyone advise me on the CSS I would use to remove the sidebars from my BBpress forum. It is pulling the sidebars from my theme, and I would like them removed.

Here is my forum URL…
http://pantheismnow.org/forums/

I wuold also like to make the width 100% too. Any chance I can get that code too?

Thanks everyone.

[bruceleebee]

Did you end up finding a solution to this? I’m trying to do the exact same thing.

I have found a few threads from 4 or 5 years ago, and supposedly someone wrote a plugin for an old version of bbpress that can do this. But BBpress has gone through some serious changes (for the best) and now operates as a plugin for wordpress not a stand alone platform – so they no longer work.

Does anyone know of a plugin/rewrite rules/functions.php code we can use to make this a reality?

[Debra]

Just chiming in here for the record. My knowledge of code and plugins is novice at best and I’m afraid I will not be of any help.

I received these 404 errors with a fresh install of bbPress a little over a week ago. My membership plugin, Digital Access Pass, kept tripping it up. The DAP support team did some testing and could not come up with a solution for me. They suggested I use the fix from https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fix-404-issue-for-bbpress-2-2-x/ until something else could be figured out.

[Stephen Edgar]

Give the bbPress 2.3 Beta a shot, everything you mention is fixed except user passwords.

bbPress 2.3 Beta 2

The only outstanding issue is imported vBulletin users have to manually reset their password.

After the import you have to run the ‘Repair Tools’ to recount the topics and replies otherwise they will not be visible in the front-end.

[aberglas]

I’m not saying there is anything wrong with the members plugin, I just have not needed it. Like you I prefer code as I need to support multiple sites. And looking in the actual DB tends to provide a more reliable view of what is really going on.

The original post of this topic could do with some clarification though, and then put up as proper bbPress doc.

@aberglas Thanks for clearing up about WP not storing caps directly on users. I must have misread that somewhere.

Anyway, you say that you haven’t used the Members plugin. Personally I try to avoid using the UI for any configuration (prefer to modify things with code). But the Members plugin is invaluable, and it really should be part of core. – Along with that fix to allow saving multiple roles. 🙂

It’s a bit more complicated than a filter toggle I believe.

Check out https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities

By default only Author roles and above have the ability to upload files, and that’s for security reasons so that’s probably a good thing.

You can tweak your roles to change the ability to upload files, but at the moment it’s a little messy. Another issue is if you want to let all your users upload files.

If you are just looking for images there is a bbPress attachment plugin in the .org repo that can handle that without having to mess with all the user stuff.

[xmasons]

So here’s my solution.

1.) Create a page template.

2.) Using the power of current_user_can(), we may utilize the bbPress’s user roles.

3.) Insert the Topic Index shortcode with the do_shortcode() function inside the user role wrapper.

[Debra]

I’m no expert, so take this for what it’s worth and research further …
Here’s the code I found that seems to work. Have not fully tested. Would appreciate any feedback from someone with more experience.

In form-reply.php
Find bbp_the_content( array( ‘context’ => ‘reply’ … and change line to
` ‘reply’, ‘quicktags’ => false ) ); ?>`

In form-topic.php
Find bbp_the_content( array( ‘context’ => ‘topic’ … and change line to
` ‘topic’, ‘quicktags’ => false ) ); ?>`

I have a few questions that I was hoping one of the bbPress developers would be able to give me a quick hint about offhand.

I’m getting results that leave me completely puzzled, as I try to hook into or directly modify the `bbp_get_caps_for_role()` function in `/core/capabilities.php`.

The `bbp_get_caps_for_role` filter
My purpose is to try and return an array with true on all caps for any role, because I need to find out why only the keymaster gets to upload images.

My first attempt is just to use the `’bbp_get_caps_for_role’` filter provided by the function. This is where the mysterious stuff starts…

I can add the filter, and when I check the `$wp_filters` global afterwards, I can verify that the filter has been added correctly. However it doesn’t fire. When I check the `$wp_filters` array inside the `bbp_get_caps_for_role()` function, just before the hook is applied, my filter has vanished. So somewhere there must be a function removing my filter. But where, and why!?

Testing by returning the `$caps` array with all caps set to `true`
So giving up on the filter for now, I simply try to hardcode the all-true `$caps` array directly into the `bbp_get_caps_for_role()` function and returns this, regardless of role. What then happens is even weirder. – Now my user can not even post a reply in the forum.

How can setting all caps to true end up giving my user less rights in the forum?!

Thanks in advance guys!

For reference, here is the bottom part of my hacked `bbp_get_caps_for_role()` function:
`
…
‘assign_topic_tags’ => true,
);

break;
}

$caps = array(

// Keymasters only
//’keep_gate’ => true,

// Primary caps
‘spectate’ => true,
‘participate’ => true,
‘moderate’ => true,
‘throttle’ => true,
‘view_trash’ => true,

// Forum caps
‘publish_forums’ => true,
‘edit_forums’ => true,
‘edit_others_forums’ => true,
‘delete_forums’ => true,
‘delete_others_forums’ => true,
‘read_private_forums’ => true,
‘read_hidden_forums’ => true,

// Topic caps
‘publish_topics’ => true,
‘edit_topics’ => true,
‘edit_others_topics’ => true,
‘delete_topics’ => true,
‘delete_others_topics’ => true,
‘read_private_topics’ => true,

// Reply caps
‘publish_replies’ => true,
‘edit_replies’ => true,
‘edit_others_replies’ => true,
‘delete_replies’ => true,
‘delete_others_replies’ => true,
‘read_private_replies’ => true,

// Topic tag caps
‘manage_topic_tags’ => true,
‘edit_topic_tags’ => true,
‘delete_topic_tags’ => true,
‘assign_topic_tags’ => true
);

return $caps;
//return apply_filters( ‘bbp_get_caps_for_role’, $caps, $role );
}
`

Ugh… the formatting went a bit crazy and deleted some of my response.

Ignore the above. Basically, I wanted to say that I could achieve the effect I wanted by deleting some code from the core plugin, but I had problems when trying to do the same thing in my child theme functions.php.

Here is the code I added to my functions.php

http://pastebin.com/PNty9aPq

It almost works – but it returns a freshness value that is wrong by several years (!)

Any ideas?

[florianbottermann]

I added a code line to functions.php. Now, the name of the commentator is linked. But the is only a forwarding to the blog entry, not to the bbPress profile page of the commentator…

[florianbottermann]

Here comes the functions.php code:

And here comes the bbPress code:

[florianbottermann]

I’m working at a WordPress site in which I want to use the bbPress plugin. Now, I want to create a link between the normal WordPress comment function and bbPress. I just want to do one thing. Under my standard WordPress blog entries, the users of my site can post comments. The comments are listed under the respective blog article. Next to each comments there the picture of the user that creates the comment. Now I want to create a link between the picture of the commentator and his bbPress profile page. When someone presses the picture of the commentator, there should be a forwarding to the bbPress profile page of the commentator. Observer of my blog can get a few informations about the commentator by that. Unfortunately I’m not able to create the link.

This is the code of my functions.php, that describes the comments setup of my normal WordPress commenting system:

And this is the bbPress php code which creates the user avatar link to the profile page:

Can somebody tell me the way how I have to modify the WordPress functions.php?

Even now, many thanks for your Help!

You could install the BuddyPress plugin, which has forums listed under groups. If you decide to go with this option, make sure to do a backup of your database first, just in case.

Or you could customise your forum list page using bbPress shortcodes (https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/). You would just need to get the IDs of the forums. Such as:

Forums page
———–

Main forums
[bbp-single-forum id=32]
[bbp-single-forum id=1]
[bbp-single-forum id=5]

Other forums
[bbp-single-forum id=23]
[bbp-single-forum id=12]
[bbp-single-forum id=54]
[bbp-single-forum id=3]
[bbp-single-forum id=7]
[bbp-single-forum id=8]
