This is my website: http://ecoperate.com, WordPress version is 4.0.1 and bbPress version is 2.5.4.

I noticed that the little avatar icons displayed in bbPress widget areas (e.g. to show recent posts or comments) don’t have any margin on the right and appear as though they stick to the text. In my case, this is a footer widget that displays the latest topic. I would like to add margin-right, but the problem is that the avatar icons in the actual forum area fall under the same CSS selector and appear to have enough margin already (they also have a border). So, when I add margin-right, it affects not only the widget icons. How can I do that, though? Is there a way to separate them, so that the icons in the forum area remain the same?

Many thanks in advance,

Rosa

I have installed the latest version of BBPress on a WP Multisite install, on in its own subdomain, which I guess I could map with a cname if it would help solve this problem.

I did this so that I could theme the forums differently to the primary domain.

The url looks like this now… http://forums.domain.tld/forums/

Is it possible to run BBPress as the forums subdomain, and not the subdirectory?

[Robin W]

sorry just reread your post and you want the latest reply !

I’ll come back !

[Twist360]

Thanks once again Robin, one final question, how do I have a second orderby for say freshness (_bbp_last_active_id).

I would like to show topics > 19 replied but also order by latest reply.

Been playing for hours and cannot crack this.

Thank you.

[Robin W]

Hey thanks for responding – I’m a testing team of 1, so knew there would be bits that weren’t right or missing.

yes can you send me screenshots, that would be very kind.

Contact me

It’s simply a link to the thread/post on the forum.

http://www.morayfoodnetwork.org.uk/forums/topic/testing-notifications/

If you click it, you’ll see the error; however if you were logged in it would take you direct to the thread/post. I’m assuming it should show a more meaningful error and a login prompt?

To be honest, the thread title is probably a little incorrect however I didn’t know how else to identify the issue.

[Robin W]

seems they are helping you on the trac ticket, but first step would be

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

◾

When viewing http://thewritepractice.com/topic/test/ as admin, the Edit link is there in the box. When viewing it as the author of it however, not seeing Edit.

The above are wordpress roles (and useful info) but can you tell me what bbpress roles you have set for this user.

[Martyn Chamberlin]

Weird. Problem still persisting when I just now deactivated all plugins and activated Twenty Ten theme.

Now here are some interesting things though:

1. When viewing http://thewritepractice.com/topic/test/ as admin, the Edit link is there in the box. When viewing it as the author of it however, not seeing Edit.
2. I’ve set Edit in forum settings to 99999 minutes so that’s not the problem.
3. Also, when logged in as author of the topic, I can load http://thewritepractice.com/topic/test/edit/ just fine and edit the topic. So it does recognize me as the author on the edit screen, but somehow not on the actual “view topic” screen.

Because of this last observation, I conjecture that we must be using different logic for “is the current user the author of this topic” on the View versus on the Edit screen.

Really appreciate your help on this.

[Robin W]

ok, it’s back to looking at this aspect specifically.

1. some themes only show the edit when you hover in the topic/reply content, this is theme specific not bbpress.

2. I know you have already tested the below but please try again as bbpress is tested with default themes. Try twentyten as I know it gives a firm edit box :

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.

So here is my latest addition to Onlijn.com.
Something to separate it more from facebook, and I hope in a positive way.

I can now promote members to authors, who can create content for the site through the front-end.

For authors there is a new link in their menu from which they can access their “Onlijn.com Blogger” page.

This is the actual Blogger page I just finished creating
with lots of thanks to the maker of the Front End Publishing plugin

[Robin W]

Just shows how much we don’t play with – I’ve never hit that link.

By the way I’m not part of the plugin team, just a humble user !

But after a bit of testing, for a topic called Test Topic :

Within the post you’ll see an edit which takes you to

http://www.mysite.com/forums/topic/test-topic/edit/

which allows a user to edit

But the EDIT link at the bottom goes to

http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=18358&action=edit

which is a wordpress supplied link, which a user isn’t allowed to edit as it is a backend function, unless they have privilege to access topics on the backend which only moderators and keymasters can do.

So participants see this link which they can’t use !!

Well spotted – I’ll take a look when I get a moment at whether this can be switched off in wordpress for bbpress pages, or the link changed.

[Robin W]

did you actually paste this line

background-color: “the color you see”!Important;

ie the real words “the color you see”

This would be ignored as it’s not proper code

And if you put this into your child theme, and you’re no longer using your child theme, then it wouldn’t matter anyway.

And if you go to the forum, the background of the actual site under the top nah bar is a light tan. Then if you click on the test forum to go into it (though there aren’t any topics), you will notice it gets darker.

Not sure what ‘the top nah bar ‘ if you mean nav, then I can’t see any tan in my browser, or anything going darker?????

Put an image on photobucket or similar please

Basically, I made a bunch of changes, and for some reason, the changes won’t go back when I delete the changes. The worse part (and I have no clue how this happens) is that when you click on the “test forum,” the background to the whole site gets darker randomly. I have no clue how it did this, and after changing everything back to how it was before, it still does it.

Hi Lynqoid

Yes, the landing page is very much a work in progress.

It is also the page where I am testing my @media queries on so lots of CSS problems.

If I knew how XAMPP worked I would develop sites local first, but I am a total noob and have chosen to build whilst live.

Every page is still under construction, but I aim to finish before the end of February.

I am adding a few more functionalities, like member blogs, and as soon as they all work as expected I can finalize the CSS.

Thanks for the response.

P.H.

Hi,

When a user creates an account at http://thewritepractice.com/index.php?/register/JUZsw5 and then goes to the bbPress forum at http://thewritepractice.com/bw and posts a topic, there is an Edit link at the bottom of that topic. But when they click that link, they get this error message:

You are not allowed to edit this item.

A few notes:

1. I’m on the latest version of WordPress.
2. This problem persists when all plugins but bbPress is activated.
3. This problem persists when the 2015 theme is activated.

I installed and activated the bbPress Advanced Capabilities plugin and learned that if I enabled “Edit others topics” for Participants, the participant could then edit their topic.

So in other words, bbPress thinks that the topic is being created by someone other than themselves.

Any ideas how this could be the case? It’s very strange…

Thanks!

It could be a theme or plugin issue

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.

@Killerrabbit2

I did contact Robin, his response:

“The only fixes (http://www.rewweb.co.uk/reply-subscribed/

http://www.rewweb.co.uk/topic-subscribe/) I have are the ones in the original email.

If emails are coming from wordpress, then they should be ok from bbpress.

Do you have any plugins that could be causing conflict, or maybe your theme.

Did anyone solve this?

[Stagger Lee]

This seems to work, just tested. Adjust after need.
Limit user upload by KB size:

add_filter('wp_handle_upload_prefilter', 'f711_image_size_prevent');
function f711_image_size_prevent($file) {

    // get filesize of upload
    $size = $file['size'];
    $size = $size / 1024; // Calculate down to KB

    // get imagetype of upload
    $type = $file['type'];
    $is_image = strpos($type, 'image');

    // set sizelimit
    $limit = 700; // Your Filesize in KB

    // set imagelimit
    $imagelimit = 7;

    // set allowed imagetype
    $imagetype = 'image/jpeg';

    // query how many images the current user already uploaded
    global $current_user;
    $args = array(
        'orderby'         => 'post_date',
        'order'           => 'DESC',
        'numberposts'     => -1,
        'post_type'       => 'attachment',
        'author'          => $current_user->ID,
    );
    $attachmentsbyuser = get_posts( $args );

    if ( ( $size > $limit ) && ($is_image !== false) ) { // check if the image is small enough
        $file['error'] = 'Image files must be smaller than '.$limit.'KB';
    } elseif ( $type != $imagetype ) { // check if image type is allowed
        $file['error'] = 'Image must be ' . $imagetype . '.';
    } elseif ( count( $attachmentsbyuser ) >= $imagelimit ) { // check if the user has exceeded the image limit
        $file['error'] = 'Image limit of ' . $imagelimit . ' is exceeded for this user.';
    }
    return $file;

}

[Robin W]

just tested and

add_filter( 'bbp_get_author_link', 'remove_author_links', 10, 2);
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_author_link', 'remove_author_links', 10, 2);
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_author_link', 'remove_author_links', 10, 2);
function remove_author_links($author_link, $args) {
	$author_link = preg_replace(array('{<a[^>]*>}','{}'), array(" "), $author_link);
	return $author_link;
 }
 

add_filter ('bbp_before_get_author_link_parse_args' , 'rew_remove_avatar' ) ;
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_reply_author_link_parse_args' , 'rew_remove_avatar' ) ;
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_topic_author_link_parse_args' , 'rew_remove_avatar' ) ;
function rew_remove_avatar ($args) {
	$args['type'] = 'name' ;
	return $args ;
}

seems to do what is required

[Lynqoid]

If you have done the following:
– disable ALL plugins one by one (not just ones you think could be causing it)
– activated a default theme
– used the repair tools
– re-saved permalinks

And it’s still broken, then the only next thing you can do is create a local installation of bbPress and test the reverse way, test it’s working, add your theme, test it’s working, add one plugin and keep going till it breaks.

Good luck with your site.

[Robin W]

ok, you’re stating stuff that I’m finding hard to visualise/understand, and adding further info which again is not clear.

It’s not that you are not trying to explain, it’s just that as I can’t see your site, and issues with themes, plugins, and servers can be many and varied, there’s not a quick ‘do this’ answer.

de-installing and re-installing rarely fixes 🙂

So as I can’t see your site to start with lets eliminate theme and plugins

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.

Come back with the results – If that finds a fault it doesn’t mean you can’t use that theme or that plugin, just that we know where the issue is.

If that doesn’t fix try

Dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – you don’t need to change anything – that just re-sets the links and sometimes fixes issues.

If not then also let us know your forums slug dashboard>settings>forums and look for the forums root slug.

Also let us know your permalink setting Dashboard>settings>permalinks
