Hello,

I’m using the standalone bbpress 1.1. I want to make a little modification to hide the thread replies from the non-logged users. So, the non-logged users can see only the very first post but can not see the replies to the topic. How can I do that?

I tried to remove following from the topic.php file in the theme, but it removes the first post as well. I’ll appreciate any help.

Code:

<?php foreach ($posts as $bb_post) : $del_class = post_del_class(); ?>
<li id=”post-<?php post_id(); ?>”<?php alt_class(‘post’, $del_class); ?>>
<?php bb_post_template(); ?>

<?php endforeach; ?>

look in the code, or in the settings menu

Is there somewhere to download a file of version 2.1? I see the code on the download page, but no folder that I can just copy and paste.

I do think bbPress was setting the posts to Pending before putting them through moderation, but this may not be a bbPress bug.

I’ve been trying most any troubleshooting step I can find.

I turned off EnableSendfile in Apache, and every forum post has come through successful since then. But since the issue was intermittent and only a few people are testing the forums right now, it’s hard to tell.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#enablesendfile

My memory utilization is still pretty high, but I cranked down my Apache settings considerably (using recommended settings for a 256MB VPS on my 2GB VPS) and I turned off eaccellerator in PHP as well.

If I get a few more successful test posts from users, then I’ll close the ticket in Trac.

Memory utilization could really be any bad piece of PHP code on my site, and I’m not sure where that is coming from yet. But if no one else reports it, then my case is anecdotal.

I have a WordPress (v 3.4.1) site with a custom theme. I have my permalinks set to %postname% and my navigation is hard coded with relative urls (<a href="about">About</a>)

I have installed bbpress (v 2.0.3) and everything works great until I try to leave the forum page. From the forum page, when I click on any link in the nav, it adds /forum to all my urls resulting in a 404 error.

In the bbpress settings I have unchecked the “Prefix your forum area with the Forum Base slug (Recommended)” option, and that did not fix it.

Any help would be appreciated as this site is due to a client by the end of today and I don’t want to use a different Forum plugin.

[enderandrew]

If I’m reading this correctly, it does like bbPress can put the posts in pending status.

Here is an Apache error log cranked up to debug level when it happened.

http://pastebin.com/gF23AQXy

/** Topic Moderation ******************************************************/



$post_status = bbp_get_public_status_id();

if ( !bbp_check_for_moderation( $anonymous_data, $topic_author, $topic_title, $topic_content ) )

$post_status = bbp_get_pending_status_id();

[John James Jacoby]

Create a WordPress page, and use the new topic shortcode: [bbp-topic-form]

[John James Jacoby]

Probably out of memory. Both bbPress and BuddyPress are large plugins. Loading up all that code takes resources that your host may not have. If you deactivate one ore the other, does everything come back up?

[mememe123]

I already have Buddypress installed on my wordpress theme. After I install bbpress, I can’t access my dashboard anymore. When I click on dashboard I get this message:

Server error

The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.

. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.

How do I fix this?!

[Zephyr]

Good Day,

Please forgive me for being a complete Village Idiot in regards to WP + bbPress…

I am working on a 2nd site, it’s in development right now. I have BuddyPress installed and inactive, bbPress 2.1 RC 2 installed and active (working well so far, I might add).

I am also using the Custom-Community-Pro theme by ThemeKraft because the young lady that will manage this site is even more clueless than I am and needs the easy CSS updates this provides.

Per the below (copied in the text I’m referring too at bottom of post), I thought with 2.1 we no longer needed to make child themes, etc., for bbPress to match our WP theme. Am I missing something (most likely)? Do I need to still create a child theme or follow the other directions below on making bbP match my site seamlessly?

Again, my apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere…

Thanks and Regards ~ Alisa

Codex Home → Theme Compatibility

As of 2.1, bbPress has built-in theme support. All required elements such as front-end editing are included. This means that all functionality will work, even when a theme has no specific bbPress coding.

All bbPress compat can be overridden using a theme or another plugin. Check bbp-theme-compat template wrappers for what a normal theme should include.

To customize bbPress::

Create a new directory within your theme root called ‘bbpress’ for example: wp-content/themes/YOURTHEME/bbpress

Copy any files from bbPress/bbp-theme-compat/ to the new directory within your theme

Edit the new files for complete control over bbPress display in the theme

You can completely disable the included front-end elements by adding the following to your theme’s functions.php:

add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );

Yep, always a good idea to make a backup

[RT77]

Ok Awesome Thanks Dude

Will make a backup just in case though..

You need to increase the memory limit for PHP as it is being exhausted from a script.

Here is the link to the page I am talking about:

http://stratoliner.me/topic/churchnerd-org/

However any reply or post that I make turns out the same way with the sidebar at the bottom and the page messed up.

The only way I have been able to get any of my forums/replies to look good, has been to add the code I found here on the forums that gives me the option of not having the sidebar (sorry looked but I can find it again).

I had to modify the base code, but it gave me the ability to do a “full-page” without sidebar. But I have to do that with each and every /page/post/topic etc.. And it really doesn’t solve the problem, because when a new reply is made – it has the same issue.

Any help is greatly appreciated – I have been tweaking for 2 days now and this is one of the last things.

If the theme is all you’re worried about, don’t use bbPress 1.x. It’s outdated and no longer under active development, so you’re investing in a dead-end. bbPress 2.1 can be themed to look like anything you want it to later; you’re better off starting clean with the newer engine than trying to fix up the old one because you like the paint.

[Jaja..]

@Docchewbacca

Contact your hosting-provider and ask them to upgrade the PHP memory. Give them an example of your Error and they’ll know what to do.

http://ocaoimh.ie/2012/05/16/fatal-error-allowed-memory-size-of-67108864-bytes-exhausted/

Those memory bumps only work if your hosting-provider let you increase this memory. If they don’t and have blocked this feature you have to contact them and ask them friendly to increase it for you.

Most providers don’t care and help you with this problem but sometimes the very cheap M.F&#krs providers don’t and start complaining about everything that is wrong in this world.

[John James Jacoby]

Best changelog I have is in our trac. It outlines every ticket and code change since 2.0 was released.

Thanks for your offer to help. What do you want to do? You can basically write your own ticket. If you’re familiar with IRC, you can join #bbpress on freenode; many of us idle there together to chat about what we’re working on.

[John James Jacoby]

User profiles are always public, and no – you cannot edit a profile that is not yours unless you are a keymaster.

If it was a security hole (which it’s not) posting about it in a public forum is a no-no.

The “…This is how your profile…” string is part of bbPress 1.1, and not part of 2.0, but I see you’re using 2.0 on your site.

All of this, makes me confused.

[MTPrower]

2.0.3. bbPress 2.1 will be out soon? Do you have a changelog I can look over? I’m excited to see it.

Also, I’m putting my site on hiatus. I’m tired of it for a while. But you know what I would like to do? I’d like to help with bbPress. I think the total integration with WordPress that bbPress has is one of the best things ever accomplished for the blogging platform. I would love to assist, do some testing, give some of my thoughts, help promote bbPress, and even help with some new features that I have been hoping or wishing I could see in bbPress’s future.

I don’t know how much help you guys get, but it doesn’t seem like a lot. I wouldn’t ever want to see bbPress die. I want to help, if I may. I know very little about PHP or HTML, but every coder should have a team, to help with the things that coders aren’t best at. I want to help!

[John James Jacoby]

What version of bbPress are you using? I think this issue is already fixed in 2.1 beta 1.

Also, thanks for the kind words.

[html_guru]

When I look at the topics page in the backend word press page, the only data column that shows up is “Freshness”. I tried to make some modifications to the code, and I must have messed it up. Does anybody know what file controls this page?

[AAShepAA]

[RESOLVED] – It was the plugin bbPress Shortcode Whiteist that was causing the problem. Deactivated and I am good to go.

[AAShepAA]

[SOLVED] for me at least.

It was the plugin bbPress Shortcode Whitelist that was causing the issues! Deactivated and I am good to go!
