Not sure, bbPress could always possibly need only slight changes to support it if any. You can always try it on a test server/local development area to check and make sure though.

[Robkk]

Create new roles with custom capabilities.

Custom Capabilities

TO have individual colors for each role, there is a function that might help. I think you need to create a varialbe to pass the bbp_get_user_display_role() with the id of the user in the reply author bbp_get_reply_author_id() to get the specific user role of the reply author then pass the user role name into $classes. You might also need to use strtolower() to make the class in your code lowercase.

function my_reply_class($classes) {
	$classes[] = 'test-class';
	return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_class','my_reply_class' );

After all that, all you would need to do is add this CSS.

.myrole .bbp-author-role {
  background-color: blue;
}

Hi, Can the latest bbPress version run on PHP7 configuration? Does bbPress support PHP7.0?
Thanks.

[padqi82s]

I have tried with version 2.5 and this version not worked too.
How to solve this problems.

Hi,

We are using BBpress for user registration and forums we will be activating in the near future on our website. We are also using the All In One WP Security Plugin, in here is a option to rename the login page, so directly going to mysite.com/wp-admin should not work and should be mysite.com/*newadmin*

However this did not work initially, we had to log in on the /*newadmin* but still had to go to /wp-admin to gain access to the dashboard.

We disabled all other active plugins, and the problem was solved, after testing it showed that once BBpress plugin was disabled the feature worked as intended, loggin into /*newadmin* would get me instantly into the dashboard.

I’ve also requested help on their end, but since 2 plugins are involved, Do you guys have any suggestions as to what might cause this & what might solve this issue?

Any help or suggestions would be great. We just want to rename the admin part, so we are not bound to the wp-security option, just seemed easy.

Heres my initial post on wordpress.org support for all in one wp security:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/renaming-the-login-cant-enter-with-the-url?replies=4#post-7342568

We are using a fully up to date version of WP & all plugins.

I created 2 test forums, they are not private. I also selected to check (Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies).

[Robkk]

I guess maybe try the conditional that is in this code. 13 is the topics forum id.

function bbp_forum_thirteens() {
    $topic_id = bbp_get_topic_forum_id();
    
    if ( $topic_id == 13 ) {
        echo '<p>THIS is another test Thirteen</p>';
    }
}    
    
add_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_topic', 'bbp_forum_thirteens' );

[Robkk]

Okay I tested it for awhile today, and I got it to work with this.

function bbp_forum_thirteen() {
    $forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id();
    
    if ( $forum_id == 13 ) {
        echo '<p>THIS IS FORUM Thirteen</p>';
    }
}    
    
add_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum', 'bbp_forum_thirteen' );

[Beck888]

After install I created a test post and all went well until I went to view the forums.

The new post in hiding under the admin bar at the top of the screen.

https://vapefriendly.biz/forums/forum/vape-lounge/

All the other aspects of the plugin seem to be displaying correctly, even clicking on the floating topics brings you to the post where it is in the middle of the page like it should be,

I’m guessing a css issue,

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you

[aluxi33]

Nevermind.

Right now I am using the (bbpress) Forum Search on my Main Sidebar. I also have the bbpress shortcodes listed below. If I check this box: Forum Prefix (Prefix all forum content with the Forum Root slug (Recommended), my search works but then it disables my bbpress shortcodes. How can I make the bbpress shortcodes work with the Forum Prefix box checked?

Hi,

I am hoping that someone here will be able to help with this as it’s a rather frustrating issue and I can’t figure out why it’s happening to start with.

I have set my forum to the ‘rating level’ that will accept posts using phrases such as ‘porn’ and curse words…that being the case I was rather surprised when someone attempted to create a thread in a forum using a jokey phrase including the word porn and it wouldn’t allow the user to post. I checked the post, checked all the settings (I have no words in the blacklist – the forums are monitored almost 24/7 and we have a rather exclusive membership so I felt this was unnecessary at the present time) and there seems to be nothing amiss so the reasons for this being done are a mystery to me. I am able to add the extra words in the sentence in the CMS but this is not something I wish to have to do every time someone wants to refer to something specific like this.

Is there a reason why this would be happening?

I have recently upgraded to the latest versions of Buddypress (2.3.2.1) and BBpress (2.5.8) and also was upgraded to WordPress 4.3.

The site is set up to work with the Make template but I have tested this on the other templates and as it works when I remove a single word from the actual post I know that it HAS to be some hidden filter somewhere that I am unable to remove.

My site is found at http://www.bewitching-fiction.com

I’m wondering if it is easy enough to migrate a google group to bbpress? I’ve come across a couple of services out there that offer this service (albeit without testimonials) but was interested to know if there was a plug-in or scraper service that can do this for me. I have time to make some amendments and changes but would generally like to automate the process, including the migration of users.

Someone posted the same question on this forum four years ago and received no reply…

[demonboy]

Hi Rob,

As I said (in an edit of my OP, which you may have missed), I have tried a number of different themes, including twenty fifteen, twenty fourteen, twenty twelve, Avada, Oceanic… they all demonstrate the same symptoms, and Avada even supports bbpress (as does, I assume, the WordPress themes). All themes are latest versions.

[Robkk]

Is the theme you are testing Avada? There could always be a theme that could cause an issue, or even just a new theme update.

[imsmarketing]

bbPress 2.5.7 and 2.5.8 do not work with latest versions of WordPress CMS and WP Client plugin.

Will work fine if WP Client plugins are deactivated but as soon as they are activated the forum breaks.

Any ideas?

[gptxffa]

still have not heard back from the user, however i tested this issue myself. This is the page i was sent to

However, when i clicked the back button all the text was still in the new topic creation window and i simply re submitted the topic and it worked.

[Mei Ling]

Hi Robkk,

I have tested your code. Well I can select in the admin panel “edit topic” or “new topic” “featured image”, I select the picture…when I turn back to the topic, no picture. It doesn’t remain selected.
I use the latest WordPress: 4.30.

Could you help me?

I thank you in advance

Mei Ling

[kachan64]

Thanks, the code from github is running outside of a forum loop and works on a localhost test site. They used the code in loop-forum.php

				<?php if (($has_replies = (strstr(bbp_get_forum_freshness_link(), '<a')))): ?>
					
					<?php bbp_topic_title(array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_id() ) ); ?>,&nbsp;<?php _ex('by ', 'bbPress Freshness Author', 'bunyad'); ?>
					<?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), 'size' => 45 ) ); ?></span>
					
				<?php endif; ?>

This is my code running inside a loop in loop-single-forum.php and didn’t work, will just output my forum title for some strange reason if I post to that forum’s sub-forum.

[Robkk]

Okay I found a few fixes for this possible bug, I will need to contact the devs later to see if they had seen something similar before. One is an htaccess rewrite rule and the other is really something simple.

Okay you can try the trailing slash fix mentioned here first to see if it helps, but you are not really experiencing a 404 error because the search term you are searching is stripped for some reason.

bbPress 2.4 // ERROR // Search stopped working…

As a test try setting your permalinks to default and try searching again to see if it will keep your search term and search for it. The query search?action=bbp-search-request&bbp_search=adwords is usually seen in the default permalink structure instead of /search.

Also make sure you do not have a trailing slash in any of the slugs in Settings>Forums.

The htaccess rewrite method is adding this to your htaccess file on your site that is uaually in the WordPress directory to solve the issue, but do not try this just yet, I don’t want you messing with your htaccess file

 # BEGIN bbpress search hack
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine On
	RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^action=(.*)&bbp_search=(.*)$
	RewriteRule ^/soeg/(.*)$ http://antonhoelstad.dk/soeg/%2/? [L]
</IfModule>
# END bbpress search hack

[Robkk]

When I tested it, it doesn’t have the extra added query ?action=bbp-search-request&bbp_search=” like your site does.

I also tested it with/without the forum root slug and it worked fine for me.

Hi,

I need a help to solve my problem. i have latest bbpress installation.

Actually i have 6 forums are there.Out of 6 forums i need to prevent users to stop reply in 2 forums. I means that 2 forums should be read only forum. How can i do this.

Please help.

thanks in advance.

[richard.wil]

Thanks.
Just did these tests and I still get the ‘starting conversion’ but no error. It just keeps spinning.

Dear Dev-Team,

I’m having a strange problem.
Our script creates a new forum if another post_type gets published.
The script has been up running and tested without issues a couple of days ago.
All WP + DB entries get set; even all bbpress post meta information (incl. ping_status, etc)
The created forum DB-entry does look 1:1 the same as a manually published forum.
There is no visible difference within the DB-entries. Also ‘publish’ status is set.

The only way to ‘publish’ the script-forum is entering the forum and hit/click publish again (WP backend). No additional settings need to change, only pressing ‘publish’ does the trick.
After doing this I’ve checked the DB/Debug again; still looks 1:1 the same.

Have you ever encountered such a problem?

I’ve tried resetting user-roles; changing bbpress user to super-admin privileges; deactivating plugins and scripts without any positive outcome.
Before re-installing the entire site I was hoping that you guys know what this could be?

We use “wp_insert_post( $my_forum );” for saving the private forum into the DB. Could this be a DB error? How to overcome such weirdness?

Wordpress Version: 2.4.3
bbpress Version: 2.5.8 & 2.5.7 tested
Tested as SuperAdmin, Admin, and Moderator.
Website isn’t live to the public at the moment.
Please let me know if you need any credentials (private).

Any help, trick or workaround is very much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.
Kindest regards,
Chris

Hey Robkk!

First of all, thanks for noticing, and nope it is the latest, says 2.5.8.

Oh and by the way, i completely purged all of apache, including all of the files in /var/www, and started over.
now at least the ugly links work, but the pretty ones still don’t.

ok, and then i put all into the /var/www/ folder directly this time, as the install instructions for buddy press state, that wordpress must under no circumstances be in any subfolder.

i have installed no buddy press so far but only bbpress, that is alongside multilingual the only plugin so far.
but i am actually planning on installing quite a number, i found at least 24242 so far 😀

now the ugly links are really ugly…
i’d like people to be able to see the topic/content from a link in a mail… 🙂

can i have it like that? 😀
