Hi,

I’m using latest WP version (4.0) and have bbPress 2.5.4-5380 installed.

I have a problem with the profile (Avatar and Username) on the replied posts.
Profile in the First post is allways fine, but profiles in all other posts below are not aligned properly and have some kind of border/background with an hover effect.

Here is the link to my test page forum: http://www.geosledec.si/wp/forums/topic/new-topic/

The problem must be theme related as it only exist if I’m using that theme. TwentyEleven works fine.

I tried asking for help in the theme support forum, but it seems no one can help me there, so I hope someone here has a better knowledge and could help me deal with that.

Thank you. 🙂

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

I managed to implement a custom function to search by $forum_id and it’s all working and great, and it was done using the instructions from this page.

What I need is a way to search by user. Here’s what the search by forum function looks like:

function my_bbp_filter_search_results( $r ){
	//Get the submitted forum ID (from the hidden field added in step 2)
	$forum_id = sanitize_title_for_query( $_GET['bbp_search_forum_id'] );
	//If the forum ID exits, filter the query
	if( $forum_id && is_numeric( $forum_id ) ){
		$r['meta_query'] = array(
			array(
				'key' => '_bbp_forum_id',
				'value' => $forum_id,
				'compare' => '=',
			)
		);
	}
	return $r;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_has_search_results_parse_args' , 'my_bbp_filter_search_results' );

I tried changing all instances of the word “forum” to the word “user”, but no dice. I tried doing searches like this:
http://mysite.com/search/?bbp_search=testword&bbp_search_user_id=123

But nothing I does works and I’ve spent many hours tearing my hair out trying to get it working. I would hugely appreciate any assistance making it happen.
Thanks

probably , the guy does have a separate support forum just for premium plugin users

he might just be busy and more concentrated over there more since the plugin provides income for him

Why would some one pay for support on a non working plugin lol

i tested the plugin in the latest firefox and chrome , not IE though.

it could be a cache system/plugin or a minify plugin minifying the direct quotes plugins javascript wrong but im just guessing right now.

I dont have caching but with all plugins deactivated other then the ones needed for forums its not working

i would say contact as much people as you can to help solve the issue.

or just give up on having bbCode.

[Robin W]

Topic pages are not appearing. They appear as links on the indexes, and I can create new ones, however if I click them, I am taken to a page of a messed up template

so I suspect that the links are working fine, it’s just the template is conflicting, suspect theme issue

I wonder if I said I wanted to go pro I bet he would reply

I manually did the quote and it put it in the lower area of the post.

you probably have to contact your theme author, on how to fix that.

it might be you have float:left; or clear:left; in the css and that might be causing the issue.
switching both to none should fix it.

I don’t see anything with this new plugin either… 🙁 Not even a quote either.

It’s working in IE not firefox. grrrrrrrrrrr I don’t know why it worked in raindrops when I installed it and now it wont and I cant find any plugins messing with it.

Hello, I am fairly new to WordPress.

I recently added bbPress to my site and tested out the forums.

I created a “testuser” so that I could post on the forums; however, after signing into “testuser”, I found out that the role “participant” can access the Dashboard of WordPress and through the Dashboard, the Theme Options and change it.

Not sure if this is supposed to happen or not but I would like to know if there is a way to restrict the “participant” from accessing Dashboard and other WordPress options.

Thanks

[akyboy]

link me to a post with a quote

ill check and see if it can be easily fixed

if not you probably have to find it out yourself or hire a person to fix it.

Hello,

I have a strange thing going on on my site. When I want to leave a comment below a blog post it is not possible for me to click the WYSIWYG editor field. I cannot type any comment. Not as an Administrator or normal user.

After searching a lot I have noticed that the setting “Add a toolbar and buttons to text boxes to help in HTML format is causing this strange behaviour.

When I turn this setting off I can type a comment. When I turn it on again its not possible anymore to click the comment field.

How to solve this because the buttons are needed. With the seettings turned on I can only leave a commment after hitting F5 multiple times.

To see an example go to click here its a dutch article but that doesnt matter.

At this moment it is not possible to leave a comment. I have turned “Add a toolbar and buttons to text boxes to help in HTML format” on. You can use for login

login: testpiet
pass: test123

Let me know when you want me to turn the bbpress setting off.

Or how I can solve this.

Regards

jap

Hello!

So there are about a dozen (dozen) topics about this, but here goes:

So:
WP 4.0
bbPress 2.5.4
a ton others (none that influences my users and their access)

I created the test forum, the test topic, the page with the ‘forums’ pretty permalink and the whole shebang.

I have a custom theme (cause I need it :D) and custom permalinks (with the needed .htaccess file).

The topic page appears without problem, but the forum page gives me a “Page Not Found”.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Ana

Am really sorry
but help is much appreciated
ps. to hide the search link

[bsilverop]

Thanks @robkk. This is looking good to me after making the changes. I tested on a few different screens here with different sizes and seems to be working well. I’m not sure why the @media screen commands weren’t working before, but suspect it had something to do with the order. This is what I ended up with for those looking to do something similar in the future. Thanks again, and if you accept donations please contact me or direct me to a place where I can contribute to all who helped here. Thanks again,

Hello all,

I have a check box that I need for the default state to be the checked position. It will be the bottom box in the screenshot. Can anyone help me on the CSS to achieve this?

I have attached a screenshot for reference.

[jackoslam]

Except by trashing the entire forum, is there no way to delete spam or posts if I am the administrator and sole Webmaster?

I cannot even see how to delete most test posts.

Please help.

[Robin W]

may be a conflict between the Exchange Membership plugin and mine.

Try deactivating the exchange plugin as a test and see if that fixes. That would confirm a conflict or not

[readwriteandedit]

Robin,

I added the Private Group plugin. And I removed the sidebar so I wouldn’t have a list of recent topics or recent replies. That leaves only the forum search box to consider.

I’ve got one private forum–visibility for the forum is set to private (and I did not check visibility on the Private Group settings page), I have a forum group checked on the forum page, and in Exchange Membership I restricted the content to forum members only.

However, through the search box on the public forum page, I can still search for words from a test topic in the private forum, and the topic and reply-to forum comments show in the search results. I can get this result while not being logged in to the site.

my site: The Editor’s Blog Members

link to the public forum page: Editor’s Blog Member Forum

If you type Sally in the search box in this public forum, it returns a topic and reply from the private Pro Editors forum. I was expecting to see a no topics found message. The Exchange Membership plugin did insert a message about the page being restricted, but those who aren’t members of the private forum can still see the titles of topics and replies, the topic itself, and the name and Gravatar of the topic author and the person who replied.

I tried this in multiple browsers, with me not logged on. And I deleted browsing histories and cookies.

I’m obviously missing something. What else can I do to hide private forum topics and replies from search results?

Thanks for your help.

[bsilverop]

Thanks. I’m just using one .bbpress .site-content because I’m keeping the right sidebar. Whenever I use the @media screen piece, it just chops off what’s below it. But yes, it does seem like it’s needed. The first other person to test said that the title of the page is cut off just a little bit on the left side, where as on my end it seems like there’s plenty of space.

This is all the custom CSS if it makes a difference:

.site,
.site-header {
	max-width: 100%;
}

.bbpress-forums .col-2cl .main {
	background: none repeat-y right 0;
	padding-right: 0;
}

.site-content .entry-header,
.site-content .entry-content,
.site-content .entry-summary,
.site-content .entry-meta, .page-content {
	max-width: 100%;
}

.form-allowed-tags {
	display: none;
}

div.bbp-breadcrumb, div.bbp-topic-tags {
	font-size: inherit !important;
}

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results {
	font-size: inherit !important;
}

#bbpress-forums {
	font-size: inherit !important;
	width: 100% !important;
}

.bbpress .site-content {
	margin-right: 0 !important;
	margin-left: 182px !important;
}

And this is it after I add the @media screen tag (notice it just cuts off the rest):

.site,
.site-header {
	max-width: 100%;
}

.bbpress-forums .col-2cl .main {
	background: none repeat-y right 0;
	padding-right: 0;
}

.site-content .entry-header,
.site-content .entry-content,
.site-content .entry-summary,
.site-content .entry-meta, .page-content {
	max-width: 100%;
}

.form-allowed-tags {
	display: none;
}

div.bbp-breadcrumb, div.bbp-topic-tags {
	font-size: inherit !important;
}

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results {
	font-size: inherit !important;
}

#bbpress-forums {
	font-size: inherit !important;
	width: 100% !important;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 1008px) {

Just want to add my notes in updating from dinosaur version 0.9.0.7 to 1.2 for anyone going thru the process. Follow the steps in https://codex.bbpress.org/legacy/updating/ (shown below).

At step four, these additional steps need to happen:

4-b) In bb-includes on the server create a drectory called backpress. Copy all the backpress files from the download of “backpress-1.2-bbpress\includes”. Copy the folder “schema” to \\bb-includes\backpress\ on the server.

4-c) In /bb-includes/backpress/ on server create a folder called “pomo”. Copy the 5 files from the download of “Glotpress pomo” into it.

Updating

These instructions cover upgrading to version 1.2

• First, you should always back up your files and your database in case something goes wrong.
• Second, deactivate all plugins.
• Third, keep the following files and directories.

  bb-config.php
  my-plugins/ (if you have it)
  my-templates/ (if you have it)
  my-languages/ (if you have it)
  also backup your existing .htaccess file if you have modified it, then delete everything else.

• Fourth, upload the newest version of bbPress to your server.
• Fifth, log in and visit your bbPress admin area. If you see an upgrade link instead of the normal screen, click it. If you don’t see an upgrade link (it would have been really obvious), continue to the next step.
• Sixth, visit the new “Settings” area of the admin and edit any details or settings in the “General” section. Also visit the “Permalinks” section to regenerate your .htaccess file if necessary. Also reactivate your plugins one by one (some may need to be upgraded as well).
• Seventh, sit back and relax; you’re done!

These downloads are for legacy versions of bbPress and are no longer in active development but still available for download if you’re feeling nostalgic. You can find the WordPress plugin bbPress here
bbPress 1.2

The latest 1.x stand-alone version of bbPress is 1.2 (.zip / trac / svn)

The latest bbPress 1.2 specific BackPress package is backpress-1.2-bbpress (.zip / trac / svn)

(You will also need the GlotPress ‘pomo’ folder from here.)

[bsilverop]

It did indeed muck up other areas of the site. But I combined the two you sent and this seems to work:

#bbpress-forums {
	width: 150% !important;
}

Can you see any reason why this wouldn’t be ideal? The only thing I’ve noticed so far is that when testing on a large monitor, the footer has a lot of empty space at the bottom (only on the forum pages). Otherwise it looks to be working ok on my laptop, I’m just concerned it might not for others. Thanks again!

[swammy05]

Thanks for jumping back into this old thread, Robin.

I’ll have to wait until the middle of the night to try that, as it’s an active community with a lot of users. So you think this is an error caused by a plugin despite no warnings?

The only plugin that I can imagine would touch this behavior is ‘paid memberships pro’, which is scary to deactivate, at the risk of losing data.

Anything else I can try to debug/test for you?

[Robin W]

can you humour me and try

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.

[atfpodcast]

https://wordpress.org/plugins/basic-user-avatars/
It says not tested with 4.0 but it works and much nicer then one I was using.

[bsilverop]

Thanks for the update. I have a file called full-width.php in wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/page-templates. And I apologize, I don’t think I was clear in my original post. I want the forum to extend the width of the page beyond the content sidebar on the right side of the page. I do want the left sidebar to remain.

I modified the copy of bbpress.php taken from page.php, and I removed

<?php get_sidebar( 'content' ); ?>

I was already hiding the content sidebar on forum pages, so the result there is the same. The forum is cut short where the content sidebar on the left normally appears.

I tested the full width page template on one of my pages to make sure it extends beyond the content sidebar on the right, and it does. I am hoping to get the forum to do the same. Thanks again,
