WordPress 3.4.2 / bbPress 2.1.2 / site: bit.ly/OVo94w

Have never used bbPress before so bear with me.

The main problem is all non-admin/author/etc users (including public) cannot see any of the posts (confirmed with a test account as both a basic and paid user). Anybody that’s not a user essentially can see the posts though. Can provide screenshots or test logins if needed.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, after a WordPress update, a cropped version of the main logo for the site started showing up on the forum index after ‘Forums by’.

There also seems to be an issue with public visibility of all the forums on the index (have checked permissions/etc). They all show up to a logged in user but only 2 of them show up for a non-registered/public user and bots indexing the site.

Have tried a number of things so far that i have found in other topics here: Disabling Akismet (and a number of other plugins to see if there are any conflicts), Deactivating and Reactivating bbPress, deleting and re-creating the forums, and more.

At this point I am a little lost, and not sure how to fix these and really would like to avoiding having to completely re-install bbPress/Wordpress.

Thanks for your help in advance.

I had similar confusion. After reading this thread and the one Roger linked (and verifying that I was thus able to alter bbPress CSS), I edited https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/ to hopefully prevent anyone else getting confused in the same way.

When you learn something that seems like it should be in the documentation, please add it to the documentation for the rest of us!

Hello, I am using TwentyEleven and bbPress 2.1.2

TwentyEleven has a width limit 980px and that is OK.

I want to integrate bbPress but I want it to be 100% full screen width.

I do not want the whole site to be 100% full screen width.

I just want the forums to be 100% and the rest of the site to be 980px.

The problem div id=bbpress-forums is inside div id=page

page {

    margin: 0 auto;
    padding: 0 25px;
    width: 980px;
}

I don’t know how to separate these divs.

Any help? Thanks

I’m working on this now for bbPress 2.2, which I’ll most likely fast-track to address this exact issue. I consider it all a big bug, if not just quickly behavior.

Hi,

As I needed to have a customisable register form for BBPress, I changed the registration to the customisable fields I needed and altered the database. This works fine.

However now when a new user registers and logs in, they cannot view the profile page as a “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

When I look in the back end as an admin the user is automatically given the role of “subscriber”. If changed to “Forum Participant” the user is allowed to view the profile page, however I want the role to be set automatically, rather than the admin doing it.

So I have got to the point where in the registration process I have this code so far to fix this:

//Where $u is the newly registered user who has been added to the database

$u->remove_role( ‘subscriber’ );

$u->add_role( ” );

The problem is I don’t know the parameter in the add_role function for Forum Participants (or any other way to do this).

If anyone could tell me this it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance

[kowalski]

thanks! that s really helpfull.
Can i find somewhere php code also to insert it directly to my template?

[David Decker]

@Lynq:
Thanks for the tip!
Never saw the “Forum Search” here – nice but not what I really want.

That would mean 6 searches (because we have 6 forums here currently) plus using the additional “Reply Search” if I am in a long (single) topic thread…

Also, both search boxes are only visible at second or third sight, better would be the occasional search box at the top or so…

And if we are already on topic: just implement a proper search in bbPress core, that’s what the users want. Every user that asked me for any bbPress 2.x help wanted a proper forum search. Everyone. Period. So there’s really a need for that. (I’d love to drop my search widget plugin ASAP!!!)

One could find some information, yes, but it’s really ineffective and NOT how it should be as an native implementation.

A proper full text search over the complete forum – and an extra search over the Codex here – or both combined would be of greatest usefulness for all users here I guess!

If it’s not possible just implement a proper Google Custom Search (already on WordPress.org…) — maybe I am doing just that for myself: setting up another Google Custom Search because the current situation does just not satisfy me (and don’t fits to this community here IMHO).

Thanks, Dave 🙂

Hey all,

I had a previous post where i logged a user into bbpress by passing credentials from our site in the url. that worked fine but we were not using bbpress embedded in wordpress at the time.

Now we have changed the configuration by setting up a full WP site with bbpress as a plugin.

the goal is still the same: Send a user to our bbpress forum and automatically log them in.

We are using a single forum so i have made changes to

bbpress\bbp-theme-compat\bbpress\content-single-forum.php

Currently the user is logged in correctly. However when any topic link is pressed the “You must log in….” message is shown. Apparently is_user_logged_in returns false.

Any help on how to make the logged in user persist to more than the first page would be greatly appreciated.

We are using bbpress 2.1.2 and wp 3.4.1

My code for logging in a user is:

<br />
$loginCreds = array();<br />
$loginCreds['user_login'] = $user_login;<br />
$loginCreds['user_password'] = $_GET['password'] ;<br />
$loginCreds['remember'] = true ;<br />
$user = wp_signon( $loginCreds, false );<br />
if ( is_wp_error($user) ){<br />
echo $user-&gt;get_error_message();<br />
echo $_GET['password'] ;<br />
} else {<br />
$user_id = $user-&gt;ID;<br />
wp_set_current_user($user_id);<br />
wp_set_auth_cookie($user_id, true);<br />
}

Hi, I can help you with this. I am doing the same and needed to figure it out as well. Hopefully they’ll add this in updated versions… Seems like a basic feature that can add awesome visual option via CSS. Anyways, I will assume you know a bit of CSS. For the PHP, I recommend that you create a folder “bbpress” inside your WP theme folder, i.e. wp-content/themes/yourtheme/bbpress Then go to /plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/bbpress and copy/paste the file “loop-single-reply.php” to your newly created bbpress folder from above. What this does is now make bbPress use that file instead of the default one. Now you can make changes to it and not worry about updates to bbPress overwriting your changes. On line ~ 30, you’ll see an opening DIV with id=”post-*some php”…

On the next line, enter this:

$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $reply_id );
$abc_role = bbp_get_user_display_role( bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id ) );


Then the next line that’s already there should be:

div class="bbp-reply-author"

Turn it into this:

div class="bbp-reply-author ?php echo $abc_role ?>"

Add the bracket < before the first ?php in that above statment… I dont know why its not letting me show it.

And there you have it. The CSS class name will now contain the verbatim user role… This means that "Key Master" will actually be in the class.. No problem, just use:

div.Key { color: #abc }

to target the admin. Sure, “Master” will be in there but, but it’ll be taken as 2 different classes, “Key” and “Master”. With additional pvp, you could turn it into “keymaster” but its not necessary for 99.9% of applications and would just run more PHP. I’m literally doing this right now, so i havent checked other template files, but it’s the same thing.. So for instance, if you want to change the css in the index for only admins, to have lets say a special color link, find the template file that displays the index, add that same snippet in, and it will work the same. have fun. 🙂

…Bah, my code was swallowed.

Change <div id=”container”> to <div id=”primary”> in the forum pages.

[Melindrea]

My suggestion? Find a suiting CSS file in the theme, add

.bbp-forum-title { font-weight: bold; }

at the bottom, and call it a day.

[fagiano1973]

Hy. I DO NOT want to use child theme! i hate it.

I need to do a little modify to the topic title. Example show it on “bold” style instead of “not bold” style. Yeah i know… when update version i need to repet the css modify or lost it so is better to use child theme… NO THANKS.

SO… on suorce code of my bbpress (plugin) page i found “<a class="bbp-forum-title" ……"
GOOD bbp-forum-title is "my man" … the question is WHERE (DEVIL) I FOUN IT?????? IN which
(cursed) CSS file???

Thank you.

PS. BuddyPress 1.6.1 + WordPress 3.4.1 + bbpress (plugin) 2.1.2

[Pedro Maia]

I’m looking for this too. I found a shortcode that do this, but I’m not sure if it’s the same of this forum. The shortcode is: [bbp-topic-index]

[alihs707]

Hi All,
It seems Nofollow is not working.
I used

add_filter('post_text', 'bb_rel_nofollow');
add_filter('pre_post', 'bb_rel_nofollow');

But that didnot work even.
What shall be done?

[Tanya]

Sorry, the code didn’t come up quite properly. Use this instead:

http://pastebin.com/XA2BPBhx

[imjscn]

I’ve done the following steps:

1. Checked Allow BuddyPress Groups to have their own forums  
2. Created a Group Forum
3. Selected Group Forum  is the parent for all group forums
4. In Buddypress,unchecked Discussion Forums component.
5. In Group / Admim / Forum, created a new forum.

Upon completion of creating a new forum in group, I got redirect to Group Forum directory under bbpress page instead of group Forum tab. Under the group Forum tab, it shows This group does not currently have any forums.
I need some help to get things set up right. Thanks!

[Starejosel]

Jezza101, did you have a look at the source code for these two plugins:

an old and unsupported buddypress plugin: BP Unread Posts

WP plugin that fails to activate, presumably because of some conflict with BBPress: WP Unread Comments

Are they any help?
Martin

[jezza101]

I looked into this myself, but I couldn’t find enough documentation to get started. I’m the kind of dev who can get stuff to work if given enough time and decent code examples. Hopefully as more bbpress 2.0 plugins are released there will be more to learn from.

I would agree that this is such a core feature as users surely use this to monitor activity. There is a shortcode which lists out new posts, you can see it on my site here. A list of new posts does go some of the way to help users monitor activity. There is also the RSS feed which is what I use to monitor all posts that are made.

I wouldn’t want to second guess JJJ but from the gist of his posts I get that he is very pro 3rd party involvement. In a number of cases his response has been to say if you want a feature enough then why not get to work on it and add it (obviously easier said than done as most users don’t have the skills!). Does the fact its commercial make a difference? I don’t know, I shouldn’t think so. Commercial WordPress plugins have been around for a while and are widely used.

Hi,

I have installed BBPress, in my current registration page I have the code [bbp-register] which works and lets a user register. However the only fields here are to choose a username and enter email, where an password is automatically sent. What I need is to have an password field which the user enters, rather than having a generated one. I would also like other custom fields such as gender and age.

The form is located in form-user-register.php

Its fine to add the extra input boxes here and display, but I don’t know how these would get stored and saved.

Any help on how to make the custom fields save and which files to look at would be extremely helpful.

Thanks in advance!

[imjscn]

Apology if I am spoiling your thread, but I do have a question about bbpress post parent, maybe our question is related to the same answer, so, let me go on… In WP, if we want to find a post parent, we do
$post=get_post($id)
$parent_id= $post->post_parent
In bbpress, there is a fundtion to do the job

function bbp_get_reply_topic_id( $reply_id = 0 ) {

    // Assume there is no topic id
    $topic_id = 0;

    // Check that reply_id is valid
    if ( $reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $reply_id ) )

        // Get topic_id from reply
        if ( $topic_id = get_post_meta( $reply_id, '_bbp_topic_id', true ) )

            // Validate the topic_id
            $topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $topic_id );

    return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_reply_topic_id', (int) $topic_id, $reply_id );
}
 My question is-- why bbpress does not use WP's post\_parent, instead, it saves parent\_id in child's meta, make no use of native WP post table? The parent may got lost somewhere in the middle of the additional out of system steps.

Hi! In the loop-single-forum.php, there is this part of code:
do_action( ‘bbp_theme_before_forum_description’ );

do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_description' );
 And I need to see the description of the forum below it, but there is nothing. I definitely have written the Text, but the_content(); just doesn't work. I also had to do a very hard coded tweak, to show the description of the subforums and it worked, but It doesn't work for normal forums..

€: I editet two times and the “code-sample” function doesnt work. so I just inserted in manually.
€2: I cant believe it! This is really the last time I use bbpress, even this forum doesn’t work properly. It allways deletes my html..

[Roger Coathup]

I had the same issue… see: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-override-bbpress-css/

I walked through the bbPress code, and discovered where it looked for its css. Amazed it wasn’t documented!
