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.

Then come back

[Robkk]

try the wordpress importer plugin and see if that works i recommend doing it on a local test site though.

[Robkk]

ok so copy page.php and rename the copied version to bbpress.php and make sure its at the root of your theme with the page.php file and single.php file and see if it works.

you can test it out by removing the <?php get_sidebar(); ?> code and see if the sidebar is removed only on bbpress pages and posts.

Hi,
I’m using bbPress 2.5.4 on WP 4.1 with Time theme, and when I go to my forums root page a very annoying text suddenly stretches my footer mile long.
It goes like this: “At [website title], the privacy of our visitors is of extreme importance to us (See this article to learn more about Privacy Policies.). This privacy policy document outlines the types of personal information is received and collected by [website title] and how it is used.

Log Files

Like many other Web sites….”

How do I get rid of this? I went through all the settings, even checked my pages, found nothing whatsoever.
My footer has 3 columns with widgets, and a page widget (using it for a logo image only, no text) is being replaced with this damn text on the forums root page. All other pages display the correct widget. I retested it 3 times, this damn text replaces any “page” widget I add to my footer, and if I add multiple widgets with different pages in them, they all get replaced by the same text multiple times!
I never saw this text until I installed bbPress and went to the forums root page. I couldn’t find it in my database either so it must be in some files?

I’ve been doing some testing with another user with this issue, and have now released version 1.4, which should fix this issue

After installation no items appears in WordPress Dashboard, no custom post types are created (as far as I can see)…… No menu item in Settings menu. Nothing happens. Why? What do I do wrong. I am trying for about a day now and I can’t figure it out…… pulling my hair out. Please help.

Worpdpress 4.1, bbPress latest, local site, developing mode1

[Robin W]

ahh, so you started again, maybe I won’t suggest others delete their set-up to get it working 🙂

I’ll have another play myself in a few weeks, but thanks for all your testing, and patience – many give up just before they would have fixed it !

[Joe Dostie]

Posting that code seems to have screwed up the thread…oh boy!

Well in any case I have been doing some testing.

It looks to me like bbPress is expecting to always be in the ROOT of the site.

I can make some adjustments but it then appears to mess something else up.

Take a look at this forum, I will leave it alone for a whole so you can look at it. But it explains the issue.

If I make the forum a child page bbPress will not create the forum with the parent page.

If you adjust the forum root setting to fix this, then bbPress takes over and the breadcrumb so the hierarchy is no longer correct.

At least that’s how it appears to me…

[Joe Dostie]

Sorry about that…I should have realized that…

So when the Forums Root = connect/forums
and I go into “Test” topic

The Breadcrumbs are Home/Forums/Test
and the link to forums is 69.195.124.253/~ctwocndo/connect/forums/ <- so the parent is there, its just not in the breadcrumb

And this remains true as I drill down to the single topic

[kc9wwh]

Okay…so this is annoying…I decided to test out a theory…I went into the …/core/capabilities.php file and modified the participant role to see private threads and replies and even then, a user with the participant role could not view past the private forum level…wtf?

All I can think of is something, somewhere is overriding the core capabilities…ugh…the question is what and where?

[Robin W]

Ok, I strongly think this is a theme issue to confirm try as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes, the come back

[Robin W]

ok, more drastic action required

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.

Sorry I’m running out of ideas beyond this … 🙂

@vikingpoker

I have another plugin user with this issue, which helps as it should get me quicker to a solution.

But can I also ask your help?

Could I please ask you to do 2 things (or any combination will help me)

1. Could you try version 1.2 – I’m not sure if the latest version 1.3 is an issue

Therefore could you go to http://www.rewweb.co.uk/bbp-style-pack-1-2/ and follow the instructions.

If this works, then let me know, as it will eliminate much of my code as the issue.

2. If you are able to could you :
a. Deactivate all plugins except bbpress and bbp style pack and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error when my plugin is also active.
b. If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then switch back to your normal theme and re-enable all plugins (except mine as this is causing the issue) and come back with the results

[Robin W]

sorry I’m not ignoring you or abandoning you, I’d like to get this working as well, but one of my plugins is causing users issues, so have diverted my attention to that.

Just try pasting this into the line

<label for="rpi_label1"><?php _e('First Name as people call you eg Dave','mydomain') ?><br />

If I’m right it will fall over on the next line, and I can tell you the issue.

If not, I’ll load you code into my test site and kick it when I get out from my plugin issue

[Robin W]

ok, so what are

2. wordpress role
and
3. forum role

set to for your test user?

[Robin W]

thanks I’ll load that lot into my test site.

If you need this fixed urgently, come back and I’ll cut just the key part you need into a mini plugin.

Otherwise I’ll look at early next week

[Robin W]

will be at least tomorrow evening before I look at again, but the code does seem to work on my test stite with twenty ten, although I don’t know why it didn’t immediately !

[kc9wwh]

Thanks Robin,

I’ve been using Safari to login with my test user and Firefox for admin, but even with clearing cookies and cache I’m seeing no improvements. I went through and disabled plugins one by one and didn’t see any change either…

Could it be something with the theme? I’m using a Twenty Thirteen Child Theme.

Thanks again!

[Robin W]

ok, not sure why, but my code is now working without me changing, but I did shutdown all browsers and reload from scratch and that seemed to fix.

I can now change role capabilities at will, but initially like you the changes did not take effect.

by the by if you have several sessions in one browser they will take capabiliites of another session, so have you admin in say IE and your user you are testing in say Chrome !

Hello Everyone,

So I’ve been working to get some custom permissions setup for our site and are running into some issues…I’ve followed the document located here and in turn have added the following code to my functions.php file in my child theme:

//code to add members and board roles
 
function add_new_roles( $bbp_roles )

    /* Add a role called member */
    $bbp_roles['bbp_member'] = array(
        'name' => 'Member',
        'capabilities' => custom_capabilities( 'bbp_member' )
        );
 
    /* Add a role called board */
    $bbp_roles['bbp_board'] = array(
        'name' => 'Board Member',
        'capabilities' => custom_capabilities( 'bbp_board' )
        );
 
    return $bbp_roles;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_new_roles', 1 );
 
function add_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role )
{
    /* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
    if( $role == 'bbp_member' )
        $caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
 
    if( $role == 'bbp_board' )
        $caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
 
    return $caps;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'add_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );
 
function custom_capabilities( $role )
{
    switch ( $role )
    {
 
        /* Capabilities for 'Member' role */

                'edit_others_replies'   => true,
                'delete_replies'        => true,
                'delete_others_replies' => true,
                'read_private_replies'  => true,
 
                // Topic tag caps
                'manage_topic_tags'     => true,
                'edit_topic_tags'       => true,
                'delete_topic_tags'     => true,
                'assign_topic_tags'     => true,
            );
 
            break;
 
        default :
            return $role;
    }
}

The problem I am running into is that the bbp_member role can’t seem to read and private topics, even though I have that capability set to true…? The bbp_board role works just as expected and in playing with the bbp_member role it seems to come down to the “moderate” capability…which I really don’t want on for our regular members.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

I have the latest versions of WP, bbPress and BuddyPress installed.

Thank you

Seems to be finally working.

My problem now is the lost password function.
I dont need users to register for an account as I will be doing it manually so I have set up a lost password page, have the widgit in the sidebar pointing to that pages url which displays just fine but upon testing, the page just refreshes when you hit send and no email arrives???

[format19]

Success I believe.

Did 6 test users all with the same results.

See pics
Registered with
Username : testing6
Name: Testing Six

As you can see from the User details pic the Nickname field stored is still the full name but see member details pic and every time it displayed the username in the address bar.

ok, that is buddypress adding the profile fields, so you may need to take it up with them if the next bit doesn’t work !

However whilst doing something for someone else today, I found a function on the net, which I have amended (but not tested) below

function change_display_name( $user_id ) {
    $info = get_userdata( $user_id );
	$args = array(
		'ID' => $user_id,
		'display_name' => $info->user_login 	);
    wp_update_user( $args );
}
add_action('user_register','change_display_name');

then on registration it should set the display_name to the username

put this in your functions file
