There isn’t currently a way to do what you are asking, there probably is a way to disable stickies site wide for everyone (including admin/keymaster) but that is not what you are looking for.

With the default permissions a moderator has I think there are far more dangerous options available to them such as deleting other users topics and replies.

In this regard you are offering any moderators of your forum a certain degree of trust. I would suggest you extend this trust to your moderators in regards to stickies. You can make this part of your ‘moderator’ rules/policy and ask all your moderators abide by this policy.

I have updated the codex docs for bbPress User Roles and Capabilities introduced with 2.2.

@MarjoriesDaughter I would suggest you update bbPress to the latest 2.2.3 version rather than use an old version, with that then both your conditions above will be met.

So my bbPress forum worked fine for a few months. I can’t remember if I updated anything but since a few weeks it doesn’t work anymore.
The problem is, that it doesn’t show the content of the forums. There’s the heading of the forum but nothing else. Here’s how it looks like:
http://bookish.brokenstars.de/forums/
http://bookish.brokenstars.de/forums/forum/bookish-intern/
http://bookish.brokenstars.de/intern/ (normal site with shortcode)

I’m using WordPress 3.5 and bbPress 2.2.3
Nothing seems to help. I’ve repaired and reset all the forums. I’ve deleted the plugin and the data from the database. I’ve reset the permalink structure… but it just doesn’t show up anymore.

Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be?
Thanks!

There are no known bugs regarding shortcodes so they should work on your site.

• Create a new WordPress page via /wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=page
• Give the page a title
• Add for example to login shortcode `[bbp-login]` to the page content
• Click publish and view your new page

I ran into the same issue w/ bbPress 2.2.3. Just the content is cleared out when a new topic has validation errors; the tags and topic type fields are preserved. I directly modified bbPress 2.2.3 in order to resolve this issue on my installation:

1. Navigated to bbpress/includes/common/template-tags.php line 1605
2. Removed the “if” statement so that the $post_content gets set by calling ‘bbp_get_form_topic_content’
   //if ( bbp_is_edit() ){
$post_content = call_user_func( 'bbp_get_form_' . $context . '_content' );
// }

I did some minimal testing and the behavior of other topic editing seems to be unaffected by this change, and the change makes the content persist on New Topic Validation Error responses

Unfortunately, shortcodes aren’t working for me, either.

Any other leads?

Thanks so much for your help.

[Stephen Edgar]

I think something along the lines of the following might work though it is a BuddyPress guide it would be quite similar to do for bbPress.

The (0,0) are the counts for the number of topics and replies in that child forum.

To list the child forums vertically rather than horizontally add the code from the following to your WordPress theme functions.php file https://gist.github.com/3797945

[Stephen Edgar]

Is it the shortcodes you are looking for? https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

[Stephen Edgar]

Have a read of the docs on theme compatability to get your current theme working with bbPress
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

[Stephen Edgar]

Via the docs FAQ https://codex.bbpress.org/faq/

Plugin Conflicts
To try and resolve conflicts with other plugins please disable all your plugins except bbPress to see if the error persists. Re-enable each plugin one at a time and if things break again you should be able to now know which other plugin is causing the conflict.

[Stephen Edgar]

If you have downloaded a new WordPress theme that includes bbPress support you activate the theme from the WordPress Dashboard -> Appearance -> Themes ( /wp-admin/themes.php)

There are also some docs here on Getting Started with bbPress

[Doezer]

Thanks actorjml, this wasn’t very clear and there isn’t any explanations about the installation in the codex.

[JAsko_san]

Hmm, or is it possible to display a certain forum(with all the topics within it) within a certain group with a shortcode ???

With this maybe:

[bbp-single-forum id-forum id=$forum_id]

and if ?! How can I edit the existing group page to add this short code within it ??

[Stephen Edgar]

I am not exactly sure what you are saying here!

Did you use the bbPress Import Tool to import your old phpBB forum into bbPress?

https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/

[Stephen Edgar]

The docs have the details here https://codex.bbpress.org/bbp_show_lead_topic/

Hello guys. I don’t know what i did wrong 🙁 I had the forum working a previous version of my website, but since the theme change, i can’t get it set up for my life.

It might be important to note that there was a situation during the instillation of bbpress. I was at the last step of the instillation, when my website crashed. One of my folders was duplicated or something. I removed the file from my file manager and got my site back. BBpress is now installed, alongside buddypress but when i go to my forum page there’s nothing there.

I think i need step by step instructions. When i make a page named “Forum” and assign that page to the bbpress pages tab, nothing happens. I have a code to make my forum fancy and thats not working either.

I am using the newest wordpress, and the newest bbpress.

My website is at http://www.goodpoker.ca

This is the code i need to put somewhere…

ID, ‘sidebar_value’, true);

do_action( ‘bp_before_directory_forums_page’ ); ?>

<div class="padder contentbox “>

 

<option value="”>

<input type="submit" name="submit_topic" id="submit" class="none" style="opacity:0;" value="” />

<input type="button" name="submit_topic_cancel" id="submit_topic_cancel" value="” />

<?php printf( __( "You are not a member of any groups so you don't have any group forums you can post in. To start posting, first find a group that matches the topic subject you'd like to start. If this group does not exist, why not create a new group? Once you have joined or created the group you can post your topic in that group’s forum.”, ‘buddypress’ ), site_url( bp_get_groups_root_slug() . ‘/create/’ ) ) ?>

• <a href="”><?php printf( __( 'All Topics %s’, ‘buddypress’ ), bp_get_forum_topic_count() ); ?>

• <a href="”><?php printf( __( 'My Topics %s’, ‘buddypress’ ), bp_get_forum_topic_count_for_user( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) ); ?>

This is a potentially useful plugin, and makes nice use of WP functions.

However, I’ve reviewed this code and I don’t believe that it works.

Unless I’m missing something it doesn’t update the various necessary _bb_press metakeys.

It just simplistically changes the post types for the posts to “topic” and stores the comments as replies.

Possible that I’m missing something, but the documentation for the insert post function includes no indication that it will maintain the necessary bbpress fields.

See https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_insert_post

Although I haven’t run the code, I don’t actually believe that it will even insert the posts into the selected bbpress forum. It will, however, create the topics which can then be moved around manually.

Just a lay person’s read.

[srjrol]

Thank you for taking the time to put this together Stephen. I’ve read the codex a few times over but it’s still a bit over my head. Hopefully over the weekend I will have some more time to make sense of things, but I do appreciate the prompt and very helpful response 🙂

When I upgrade bbPress 2.1 to 2.2, all logged in users cannot connect to any forums(bbPress) but super-admins. ( 404 not found page )

I’ve searched this support forum and they say “It’s related to Role Plugins…”
But I don’t have any Role Plugins 🙁

Did a hard back trace for this error and found capabilities of bbPress dynamic roles applied after ‘bbp_template_redirect’ so bbp_forum_enforce_blocked() blocked any users not having ‘spectate’ cap – maybe all users.

Then… we should manualy apply capabilities of bbPress role to current user.
Here’s a temporary patch for this error.
(Make a plugin or put these codes to your theme’s functions.php)

`
function bbp_fix_dynamic_role_cap() {
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$current_user->get_role_caps();
}
add_action( ‘bbp_template_redirect’, ‘bbp_fix_dynamic_role_cap’, -2 );// before bbp_forum_enforce_blocked()

`

[Stephen Edgar]

Ahmmm… OK… A couple of things to get started with…

I created a new page under Import Forums called Custom Import where we can start documenting how to go about actually customizing this file.

I also created a ticket #2134 as an update for Example.php is really needed to help improve the inline docs and code formatting to line up with the current bbPress1.php, phpBB.php and SimplePress5.php converters for improved readability will also help things along.

Now onto doing this… If we keep the discussion about Mingle here and update the codex as we go with any relevant information, steps and whatever else we bump into hopefully we will end up with some docs for customizing the included example importer.

I have the first few bits on the codex now, so go check that out 🙂

ps. Anyone anyone can edit the codex docs pages using your bbpress.org credentials.
