If you Google “bbpress trac” and hit “I’m feeling lucky” it should also take you right to it.

Hi,

I’m having the same problem. Would love to help resolve it but I’m afraid this is beyond my knowledge.

I guess it relates to that WP MU default behaviour is to send all registrations to the “main” blog. Can the bbpress form somehow hook into WP’s registration procedure to bypass the redirect? I wouldn’t know where to start.

WP MU almost needs to separate out Network Users, who administer sites, and blog users, who comment and post in the forum. Or allow each site to register its own users. Perhaps add blog id to the user table and let us chose how it should behave. Just thinking out loud

In the mean time I think I might go back to my previous multisite implementation, which just involved a little hack in wp-config that swapped the database table prefix based on the domain calling the site. This means that each site has it’s own distinct User and Forum tables. Of course there are some obvious downsides too, but everything is functional. If anyone is interested in that idea then I’ve posted on my site about it.

Frustrating that this is the one thing that is stopping my site being exactly as I want it, but don’t get me wrong, bbpress 2.1 is great and I look forward to future releases. Keep up the good work.

If you need help from an expert beyond the bbPress development team, hire one.

It’s safe, but I don’t think I would use TinyMCE with anonymous posting turned on. If so, you should probably modify the TinyMCE functionality to restrict what UI elements are available.

Ok, at the moment I tested this

function custom_bbp_breadcrumb($r) {

$r = ' | ';

return $r;

}

add_filter('bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'custom_bbp_breadcrumb' );

and it seems to work, but maybe there is a more elegant solution… any help is appreciated

After I deleted a topic from my forum, the “last updated by” alert at the top of the topics listing page says “and was last updated by Halle No Topics.”

Although “Halle No Topics” makes a pretty badass mob name, I think this is a display bug .

bbPress 2.1 brought the fancy editor to topics and replies, which is great, but the link function is broken. In the Visual tab, if you click it, it does nothing. In the HTML tab, it generates invalid code that disappears if you switch to the Visual tab. The code it generates is, e.g.,

<a href="http://poetryroundup.us/whup/?topic=editors-please-comment" title="Link"></a>

instead of

<a href="http://poetryroundup.us/whup/?topic=editors-please-comment"> Link </a>

There are a couple of other problems–can one set the Visual tab to be the default? I am sure that many users would appreciate that. Also, in Visual mode, a return inserts an extra line–can one turn that off? For my purposes (posting poetry) that is a real killer.

Thank you in advance!

A ‘Forum’ will contain topics, whereas a ‘Category’ contains forums.

You might have a category ‘Open Source Software’ and then have forums ‘WordPress’ and ‘bbPress’ in that category.

Status – Yes, a ‘closed’ topic is still visable just no more replies can be posted to that topic.

Visibilty:

Public – Anyone can see these forums

Private: Only logged in registered users can see these forums

Hidden: Only Moderators/Admins can see these forums

And also https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

Sorry, posted the wrong link though it is still useful:

The current state of bbPress language translations are here:

Hi, Trifon. Nice avatar.

So to clarify, what bbpress does as far as users go is just add extra “roles” regarding forums, in addition to the standard wp roles, right?

I will have to add some test users to see how email notifications and subscriptions are handled I guess.

The system looks quite interesting, but the documentation is sort of thin. There is a lot on PHP coding/development, but not much on actually using the system, as far as I can see in the Codex anyway.

For example, how about user profiles or avatars?

Thanks,

doug

As Anointed points out bbConverter is no longer being maintained but the code was used as the base for the freshly pressed bbPress v2.1 with many improvements to the conversion process.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/

That said though, I have not tested the Invision import process, only bbPress & phpBB but you could definitely try the import with bbPress 2.1 and let us know how it goes

Hi. I have been reading the docs, and did look over the shortcodes. But they didn’t really answer my question which is why I posted.

Is it standard practice to have to use the shortcodes to display the forums and other stuff to members?

In other words, what I’m trying to clarify is what is the best practice to set up. It’s not automatic and we must use the short codes? Or is that only happening because of the the theme I’m using?

Thanks,

doug

[Stephen Edgar]

Have a read of the doc’s here

https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/

And the shortcodes you can add to WordPress pages here

https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

Have a read of the doc’s (work in progress)

Hey there! Just as the topic says

I’m looking for a plugin for WordPress or bbPress that will allow my forum users to create an image showcase.

I feel like they’re going to use it a good bit, as the site in question is all about collections of glass art.

Is there anything out there that will serve my needs? Does anyone know? I know that vBulletin has an addon that allows users to do this, and I believe phpBB does as well.

[Starejosel]

Is there a way to make links that go to …/?author=n go to /?bbp_user=n instead?

Can I do it by editing a line of code such as:

$url = get_author_posts_url( $user->ID, $user->user_nicename );

or

‘.get_author_posts_url($u->ID).’

that I find in various plugins?

[John James Jacoby]

Try again.

The sequence to tag bbPress to the WordPress plugins repo is a bit wonky, so you probably got an out-of-date zip.

I just tested it now, and it appears to be fine.

[douglerner]

At http://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/ it says:

Upon activation, bbPress will make additions to three areas of the WordPress Administration Screens:

1. bbPress creates three custom post types and adds them to the navigation menu: Forums, Topics, and Replies. Use these menu items to create and manage your forums.

2. A sub-menu found at Settings > Forum. Customize these settings for greater control over bbPress.

3. A dashboard widget – Right Now in Forums – which shows recent bbPress-related activity. Use the widget to quickly monitor your forums.

I see items 1 and 2. But where might I find item 3? I don’t see it in my dashboard anywhere. I do see a few bbpress-related widgets available though.

Thanks for any pointers here.

Well, I tried installing it again, and this time it works.

Do I just use shortcodes from the docs to add links to wherever they are needed? For example, after re-installing it mydomain.org/forums is the forums (in fact it’s the forums from before I deleted them). But there is no UI to them. Should I just add a shortcode to a page which appears in the primary menu in the header to get going? Is that what most people do?

Thanks,

doug

Hello,

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I having issues with finding “where” and “what” I need to be editing to fix my sites avatars from bleeding over the reply height.

I know this sounds hard to understand but here is a link to the issue at hand. You will see at the smaller responses that the avatars are too big or the grey background of the responses are too small depending on how you look at it

Here is the link:

https://www.synthetos.com/topic/cnc-build-using-tinyg/

One other side thing.. How do you remove the “tabbed” avatar responses? It makes it hard to read IMO.

Thanks for any help!

i dont use buddypress but i kinda had solved the problem when i moved bbpress theme files to inside my child theme.

i still have a lot to figure out but i suggest instead of using shortcodes, move to theme files

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility in here it says how to do.

now i have access to all links.

[AAShepAA]

Understandable question . Yes it is, and most all of the other admin links work fine.

[John James Jacoby]

You assumed wrong. That’s okay, because next you need to figure out which plugin isn’t working correctly by deactivating them one at a time and seeing which one stops the bad stuff from happening.

I have a hunch it’s the bbPress Admin Bar Addition one.

Ultimately, you just need to open the hood and start tinkering.

[AAShepAA]

Thanks John..

I am assuming you are referring to my bbPress plugins?? They are:

bbPress2 BBCode

bbPress Admin Bar Addition (Had to do this to even have access to admin)

bbPress Moderation

bbPress New Topic Notifications

bbPress Post Toolbar

bbPress Quotes

bbP Signatures

Again, I appreciate your help.

[AAShepAA]

Spence – I just abandoned the previous theme (after it costing me $35 I am now on a theme that supports the styling to my liking

Again, thank you for all your help!
