WPWeekly Episode 182 – John James Jacoby Talks BuddyPress, bbPress, and GlotPress

[Igor Yavych]

Hello. Since few people asked for it (I think there was even thread here few months ago), I’m trying to make my plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-rating/) compatible with bbPress. As far as I understand, bbPress got own filters for content and that’s exactly where I got stuck. I can’t find list of filters. I found bbp_get_reply_content and bbp_get_topic_content but they exhibit kind of weird behavior. bbp_get_topic_content does exactly nothing, and bbp_get_reply_content filters content of first post, which is actually topic and I’m pretty sure should be filtered by bbp_get_topic_content.

So questions are:
– Is there a list of filters?
– If no, what are filters I should use to filter content of topic, reply and forum?
– What is this problem I described above?
bbPress version is latest stable available.

[Robin W]

ok, this could be lots of things, and part of what you mention is buddypress not bbpress.

so start with

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

and if you aren’t seeing forums/topics and replies in the back end then

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

new to WP and BBPRESS (latest versions)

I like threaded replys a few levels deep

When viewed on mobile the user image and left margin on reply distance pushes the text way to the right – offscreen after just a few threads

1 – can I have less less distance (left to right) between threaded replies?
2 – can I remove the user image to get more space for text?

[dealtek]

WP and BBpress = latest

Just getting started….

I would like to edit the css for the user entries – so that I can reposition the user image/ remove the user image etc….

also control the width of the user entries

I don’t know where the css is located

I do know a bit about creating a child first… but still a wordpress newbie

any ideas?

Hi @robin-w,

I just realized that you responded to this. I’m not sure how I missed this!

I just tried to give this a go (man sometimes this stuff isn’t easy to find) and it’s so far not doing what I want. I’ll admit CSS is not always my friend.

The code I’m using is below:

.forum bbpress single single-forum postid-20 #fixed-background { background: url('http://www.heartwoodgaming.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffxiv-background.jpg'); }

I was hoping that would be how I needed to set it up, but I’m starting to think, not…

Could you take a look at that and let me know where I might have gone wrong? Let me know if you need access to my site to see my bbPress, I have a test account set up for situations such as this! 😛

Thanks in advance!

[RecipeBrag]

Morning all.

Most likely an obvious error my end but when i visit certain parts of the forum it does not show properly. For example if you view http://www.recipebrag.com/forums/forum/recipebrag-com/ it will show but if you then go to http://www.recipebrag.com/forums/ it looks like a blog post.

Where am I going wrong?

TIA

Stephen

ps using the latest wordpress bbpress etc

[tpayton]

I’m still seeing this behavior in the latest bbpress. Tried the new “Recalculate the position of each reply” and all old posts that were edited in the WP Control Panel are “stuck” at the bottom.

Wordpress 4.1.1
bbpress 2.5.4

[Robin W]

if it still doesn’t work, come back and when I get a moment I’ll try it in my test site

[Robin W]

I hope the theme authors read this.

In the meantime either add it manually and keep a note

or add this to your functions file

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'old text' ) {
	$translated_text = 'new text';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

just put the old and new words to change ‘old test’ and ‘new text’

Functions files and child themes – explained !

Hello,

I need to translate this line into my language:

I have the latest bbpress installed, but the .POT file is missing this line. Can you help?

Thanks

Hi,

I’m running the latest bbPress (2.5.4) and using Gravity Forms and the Custom Post Types addon to automatically create a bbPress reply when somebody submits a form. This is mostly working – the reply post is created in WordPress, I’m setting the _bbp_reply_to, _bbp_forum_id and _bbp_topic_id meta fields and it looks like it should in the backend.

However it doesn’t appear as a reply under the topic when you view the forums.

If I edit the newly-created reply in the WordPress admin backend (just hitting Update without making any changes) it does then appear.

I presume there’s some additional step required to update the forums metadata or relationships? I’ve tried using the “repair forum” tools after creating the reply, and calling bbp_update_reply from a hook on form submission, but neither seem to make the reply appear. The only thing which does is clicking “Update” in the backend.

Any pointers would be very much appreciated! It feels like I’m 90% there but am missing some vital “refresh” step at the end.

Using the Hueman theme with latest bbpress and wordpress. The forums page has the correct sidebar, but when I click on a topic, a another, different sidebar appears.

[Marion Peterson]

Unfortunately, deactivating all plugins did not help. I did not test a default theme.

If I create a child theme and install the bbpress codes, will I still potentially have a problems with this, or will this no longer be an issue then?

[alaskanbob]

This is a new current installation of WordPress, Buddypress and bbPress

I’ve created two forums. one group forum and one non-group forum. Both show up on the forum index at *.com/forums/

The non-group test forum works fine. Clicking on the index test forum link goes to *.com/forums/forum/test-forum/ the topic link goes to *.com/forums/topic/test-topic/

The group forum isn’t working. Clicking on the index group forum link just returns to *.com/forums/

However when I mouseover the link it shows *.com/groups/accessible-woodworking/forum/

I can go directly to the topic in the group forum at *.com/groups/accessible-woodworking/forum/topic/accessible-woodworking-test-topic/

I’m thinking it has something to do with the setting for the Group Forum root, but I don’t know how to change it.

Any and all suggestions welcome. Thank you in advance.

Hey @robin-w,

Along the same vein as this, I just signed up one of my friends as a user to test privileges and make sure it’s all working as it should be. When I signed him up, he was not automatically assigned a forum role. Is that due to the changes I’ve made or is this normal?

I want to make sure that I didn’t make a mistake somewhere in all of this. I’d like the base user role to be “Apprentice” so that when they sign up on the site, they have the lowest role.

If this is something that has to be set for each user, that isn’t a problem, again, I just want to make sure I didn’t muck it up.

Thanks! 🙂

Edit: I see that there is an option, of course, in the Settings » Forum, it was set to Advisor (since the others didn’t exist earlier). But it didn’t set him as Advisor. It just set him to None for forum role.

2nd Edit: (Firstly, I know that I’m nuts, I just keep thinking of other things). I installed a plugin called BuddyPress Registration and I’m wondering since that locks down the entire BuddyPress/bbPress system until users are approved, if maybe that’s why it’s set to none initially, so that they have zero access to the forums. -ponders-

[pimark]

Pretty strange one imho. I’ve been working on porting an existing site from phpbb
over to wordpress/bbpress. While going through a final test of the port I’ve come across the following problem. Namely when in forums where you can see the latest post (along side the forum name), the name of the latest post plus its time/date are totally incorrect, however the url actually links to the correct latest post.

See: wp.photographyireland.net/forums to see.

I’ve retried all the usual recalculates etc… I have tested the port in the past and didn’t have this issue. Can anyone advise or at worst provide me with a sql updates statement to correct?

I don’t want to do the port for real if I’m going to run into this again. Tbh I do find that the import from phpbb can be a tad bit flaky at time…

Cheers

[Rivaldo07]

Oh, one thing. How do I get it to link to the latest reply and not the first post in the topic?

[zanderlise]

Created a sidebar with wwPress WP Tweaks, but can’t get it to display. I have added widgets, and tried selecting all the different pages in the “Default forum wrapper” section. It just won’t show up.

WP version 4.1.1
http://www.testambrosemediastore.com/forums/forum/forum-2/
Minamaze theme

In this theme, you have to select one layout for all static pages, and I have chosen a layout that is full page. You don’t get Template options while creating/editing a page. Is that causing the issue? It seems all of the other “sidebar” plugins I’ve tried simply replace an existing sidebar, they won’t add one. Is “bbPress WP Tweaks” the same, or can you add a sidebar to the forum page even if it doesn’t have a sidebar originally?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

[Spedwards]

So I just installed bbPress (2.5.4) successfully after having buggy versions last week. Though I’m having a lot of issues this time. I’m using WordPress 4.1.1 and Twenty Fifteen as my theme.

I created a new forum which I called, “forum” and a topic called, “general”. When I go to view the forum, it takes me to /forums/forum/forum which I believe should be /forums/forum but I can’t go there without it redirecting me. /forums just redirects me as well.

Following the codex, I tried method two which involved using the shortcode. This works all fine until I clicked on the forum, which took me to /forums/forum/forum

My site is:

– method 1
– method 2

How can I fix this issue? Please don’t say disable plugins because I know for a fact, that isn’t the reason.
