Hi Robin,

I do understand I too have had other things to do.

I dont know what you mean by “the standard wordpress registration” do you mean the standard bbpress registration ?

I installed WordPress, I installed bbpress, I installed Buddy Press
The default registration page is now NOT the default wordpress it is the bbpress registration?
And by default the bbpress plugin ads “Profile Fields” of which there is a default set of “NAME” which you cant delete and IS required. I believe it is this field that is transferring to the “Nickname” field and causing the problem.

See the pic above

I have just run a test, i registered
Username : testing2
Name : Testing Two

Here is a screen shot of what registered
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lxu0vysxd3edams/deault%20Profle%20Field2.jpg?dl=0

So the first and last name are definitely being filled out from that default Name field (dont really care about the first and last name, its the nickname thats the problem)

Any ideas? I cant go live with this site promising anonymity and then have the users name displayed in the address bar 😕

Thanks
Mark

Thought you said you hated code?!! 🙂

Have you a specific registration template in mind, does your theme come with something?

Ha no I don’t hate code! I’m just not any good at it yet. I’m using the Genesis Enterprise Pro theme.

Here’s what I tried:
1. Created a page and dropped the [bbp-register] shortcode into it.
2. Copied the form-user-register.php file into the bbpress directory in my theme folder
3. I added this form of code for each of the four rpi_label classes:

`<div class=”rpi_label1″>
<label for=”rpi_label1″><?php _e( ‘Class’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>: </label>
<input type=”text” name=”rpi_label1″ value=”<?php bbp_sanitize_val( ‘rpi_label1’ ); ?>” size=”20″ id=”rpi_label1″ tabindex=”<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>” />
</div>
…for this one it’s an input field for the Class of my user

Am I on the right track? The data entered doesn’t seem to be making it into the user database. After filling out the registration form for a test user…then going to edit the user…the data isn’t listed.

Thanks!

@robin-w ,

thank you so much.

but for some reason the plugins don’t help..

I tested with a few accounts, and no emails for subscribed forums or topics are being received.

Hi @robin-w

My email in settings is set to my site’s email , and I tested it with the plugin you suggested too, it says its all good:

This test email proves that your WordPress installation at “Mysite” can send emails. Sent: Wed, 11 Feb 2015 08:27:40 +0000

Subscribers also receive email notifications from buddypress- if somebody replies to their comment, or tags them in a post – or a bbpress thread.

Just no email at all if one is subscribed to the forum, topic or replies.

I am not using the mandrill service (wpMandrill), so this solution I think- does not apply to me https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/problem-with-the-default-do-not-reply-email-address/
and my server is bluehost.

The forum is a big part of my site’s community life , so the fact that there are no email notifications is pretty upsetting.

I searched this forum and for days, really hope there is a simple solution.

P.s I also tested it without any plugins but bbpress, default theme and reinstalled bbpress. Still no email are being received.

Thank you

@netweb I would really appreciate if you could take a look at this thread too.

there is another one that seems unresolved here

Email notifications not working; looking for help

[Robin W]

In order to test, I have created a new user (in users) but when I log out, and try to log in the new details it comes up with the wordpress admin panel saying wrong details.

Can you give the exact error please

[don5999]

I am using wordpress theme Customizr and have downloaded bbpress.

When I go to my site I can view the created forum (it is private for members only) as I am logged in.

In order to test, I have created a new user (in users) but when I log out, and try to log in the new details it comes up with the wordpress admin panel saying wrong details. If I try to go back into the wordpress dashboard, it has logged me out from there too.

I would really appreciate all your help.

Hi folks,

I could really use some help! I’ve installed bbpress and it’s beginning to look good, but I’m having some problems with the table alignment.

My theme is responsive but for some reason, the individual forum columns (ie freshness, topic, etc) aren’t holding their shape at all and keep running over onto the next line, making the forum look very messy on mobile.

I have access to the CSS file but can’t figure out the code I need to make sure that the columns remain ‘fixed’, regardless of the screen size/orientation. Here’s a link – I would be very grateful if you could give me a hint as to what I need to change. I’m running wordpress 4.1 and the latest version of bbpress.

Thank you!

[Robin W]

ok, so

twenty twelve theme without bbpress.php works
twenty twelve theme with bbpress.php doesn’t work
twenty tweleve child with bbpress.php and twenty twelve parent without bbpress.php doesn’t work
twenty tweleve child without bbpress.php and twentytwelve parent without bbpress.php doesn’t work

Is that correct? or if not can you test each of the above

[KatieKat]

Hi there,
have seen some other posts but still having serious problems. Have the latest versions of WordPress and bbPress but users are not receiving notifications when subscribing to topics or forums. Have tried the patch in 2618 but still not working.

Kind Regards

As I just said in another thread about this issue-

Just tested and no emails here either. This is strange cause I subscribed to one of the buddypress forums and I am getting emails when new topics are being posted.
Are they using another version of bbpress?

[Robin W]

ok, lets eliminate plugins and themes as the 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

[Robin W]

did you try the theme as suggested above

Thanks! Will test 🙂

[markf1]

thank you for your reply Robin.

I tried what you suggested but it did not fix the problem. Do you have any other trouble shooting advice?

I need to get this working.

I originally had set this up over 1 year ago. The site owners wanted to have the forum but didn’t want to let anyone register or join. The forums and topics I put in worked correctly. I think that I had added the forum to the site nav menu as a category versus a page. Now that they want to enable the registration and etc I have followed the bbPress docs and made a page for the forum and I’m using that in the site nav menu.

I have tried making some new forums and topics (test 4) with this new config but neither the older forums/topics or the new test forums/topics seem to have the links working correctly. Not sure if this is relevant or any help in figuring this out.

thank you.

Thanks

Hi,

I am a validator from the Romanian team. We completed the translations for BuddyPress and bbPress in Romanian language and I wanted to try a live test. When I have install the BuddyPress in the Romanian WordPress 4.1, the Update from Dashboard immediately notified me that I can install the translation for BuddyPress, and the installation of the Romanian translation went smooth. But after I install the bbPress, nothing happened 🙁 Is there an error?

Then I exported the .po and .mo files from the GlotPress project page (https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress), rename the files as bbpress-ro_RO.mo and also for .po and manually uploaded via ftp in the wp-content/languages/plugins/ folder. Now after refreshing the Dashboard screen I have the bbPress in Romanian.
But still – the description string that is displayed on the Plugin Screen “bbPress is forum software with a twist from the creators of WordPress.” is in EN. I tried to find it but it seems to be missing from the GlotPress collection for bbPress.
Can somebody fix this?

Many thanks and keep up the good work!

Adi

I had this problem and there seems to be no easy answer – until I tried a different browser (!!)

In Firefox, the LINK button does not look the same as it does in CHROME!! In Google Chrome’s web browser you can check a box under the link title and the link will OPEN IN A NEW WINDOW! 🙂 That checkbox is not visible in Firefox.

If you’re running the latest version of bbPress (right now it’s Version 2.5.4), that should work!

I’ve seen this with others, and it appears to be an issue going back 5 years with bbPress. When I have bbPress installed and activated, then I go to log into the admin dashboard, I am redirected to the front of the site. If I didn’t have the admin bar active, I would have to manually type in the browser address bar the dashboard url. This has been an ongoing issue and I am experiencing it yet again. It does this even with a default WP theme active and it does it locally on my XAMPP development, as well live.

So when bbPress is active, it does this redirect to the front of the site. This happens to me every single time I try it out when testing themes. I’ve even seen this happen with no other plugins, just bbPress and WordPress.

Any official solution to this? I know there are some who posted they cannot replicate the issue, but I have found a lot of people who experience the same issue. Would this be considered a bug?

My WP version is 4.1
bbPress version 2.5.4
Demo site link: HERE

My live site location is setup with WP as a network (multisite) to demo all my themes.

Thanks in Advance.

UPDATE: Forgot to mention this happens only when I log directly into the admin and not through the forum login.

If you have FTP access then :

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-reply.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

then you need to chnage the line

<?php if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_reply_form() ) : ?>

to do a check for keymaster and author

something like

<?php if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster())  || bbp_get_reply_author_id() == bbp_get_current_user_id() : ?>

bbp_get_reply_author_id() might need to be bbp_get_topic_author_id() – you’ll need to try it to see

Give this a go, I’m very short of time at the moment, so haven’t tested !

I *think* I’m going about this the right way — but I may not be, so any advice will be appreciated.

I’ve moved a long-standing forum group onto bbpress. We’re loving it, but members have asked me to make it work more like our old program. I’ve seen a lot of chatter about view-unread elsewhere. I’m using the plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-unread-posts/ — that hasn’t been updated in forever, but works nicely and gives us what we are used to. It creates a meta-key for each topic, each user: bbpress_unread_posts_last_visit_$user-id with the associated value being the unix timestamp.

Combined with the plugin to go to the first unread post, this works. I’ve also created buttons where the user can reset that meta-key to mark forums as read / unread.

Now I want a custom view, “Unread View”, that will look for topics where
_bbp_last_active_time > bbpress_unread_posts_last_visit_$user-id

Since $user-id is dynamic, I’m thinking that I can’t just specify the view in the functions.php file and be happy.

What I’ve done:
added:
—–
// adding custom view for unread
function my_custom_views_init() {
$args = array ();
bbp_register_view( ‘unread-view’, __( ‘Unread View’ ), array( $args ), false );
}
add_action( ‘bbp_register_views’, ‘my_custom_views_init’ );
—–
to my functions.php file.

created
unread-view.php based on loop-topics.php with the logic to test if
_bbp_last_active_time > bbpress_unread_posts_last_visit_$user-id
and only show the topic if it is… (I’m not sure if I have the logic right yet, or if this is even the right loop to put the test…)

Added a page with the short code
[bbp-single-view id="unread-view"]

But there’s clearly a link missing. I need something to tell the system that I want to use my unread-view.php instead of loop-topics.php for “unread-view” ONLY.

And I’m not sure how to do that. I’m clearly missing more than a little bit of the logic here. My programming skills are pretty basic, so any help you can give me would be appreciated.
