Hi all

I’m using a WP multisite. One of the sites is a bbpress forum.

On another site I’m pulling through the lastest post using the code below

The only thing I can’t seem to find is the shortcode to show an extract of the post.

Is there a shortcode to show an extract of the post.

<?php
    switch_to_blog( 3 );
    $topics_query = array(
      'author'=> 0, 
      'post_type'=> bbp_get_topic_post_type(), 
      'post_parent'=>'any', 
      'posts_per_page'=>3, 
      //'post_status'=>join(',', array(bbp_get_public_status_id(), bbp_get_closed_status_id()), 
      'show_stickes'=> false, 
      'meta_key'=>'_bbp_last_active_time', 
      'orderby'=>'meta_value', 
      'order'=>'DESC', 
      'meta_query'=>array(bbp_exclude_forum_ids('meta_query'))
    );
    
    $widget_query = new WP_Query($topics_query);

    if ($widget_query->have_posts()) :
      $widget_output = $before_widget;
      $widget_output .= $before_title . $title . $after_title;
      ob_start();

    while ($widget_query->have_posts()):
      $widget_query->the_post();
      $topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id($widget_query->post->ID);
      $author_link = bbp_get_topic_author_link(array('post_id'=>$topic_id, 'type'=>'both', 'size'=>60));
      $forum_id = bbp_get_topic_forum_id($topic_id);   
  ?>

  <div class="col-sm-4"> 
    <div class="post">
      <h4><a>"><?php bbp_topic_title($topic_id); ?></a></h4>
      <p class="date"><span><?php bbp_author_link($topic_id); ?></span> <?php bbp_topic_last_active_time($topic_id);?></p>
      <p> <!--show post extract--> </p>
      <a href="">Read more</a>
    </div>
  </div>

  <?php 
    endwhile; 
    endif; 
    wp_reset_postdata();
  ?>

just tested worked fine on my twentyten test site

suggest 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 twentyten to prove your code works.

Here’s a weird question: is it possible to create a new topic via a script run by a continuous integration server? To provide more context, I’m trying to create a private forum so selected playtesters (users I manually entered, as you can’t register to this forum) can test my games. Ideally, I’d like to configure my Jenkins server to upload a Unity webplayer to my server, then create a new topic with the first post being the webplayer and the change log to a specified forum. I’m wondering if there’s an automated way to make this happen. Preferably, I would not like to rely on WordPress posts, since again, I’d like to keep these work-in-progress private.

Thanks for the help!

Quick stats:
Wordpress 4.0
bbPress 2.5.4

[Robkk]

you can also add more padding for the space between the post and avatar

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-content, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content {
    margin-left: 150px;
    padding: 12px 12px 12px 20px !important;
    text-align: left;
}

if you say that the reply author details are not as wide as avatar photo and such .

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author {
width: 150px;
}

and yeah if you need more help with styling bbpress id say look at these tutorials

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 3

[Robkk]

try this the size => auto probably doesnt work or it just defaults to 80px

in loop-single-reply.php in your bbpress folder in your child theme.

change

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array('show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) ); ?>
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false, 'type' => avatar , 'size' => auto ) ); ?>
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false,'type' => 'name' ) ); ?>

to this

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array('show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) ); ?>
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false, 'type' => avatar , 'size' => 100 ) ); ?>
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false,'type' => 'name' ) ); ?>

now to test it upload an avatar bigger than 100px in width

[Robkk]

The information i gave you is if you wanted to change your theme to another but still keep the way bbpress is styled.

IF you wanted to just be able to change themes while bbpress stays the same throughout all of them this is not possible right now.

where are you lost ?? i basically said its copying the bbpress files from one theme to another.

i mentioned that you might need to copy some functions from function.php.

Stargazer Colloquium child theme uses get_theme_mod (which is added to the customizer area to your theme) to add certain color to your bbpress theme.

You can either delete that function and just added the colors manually to your bbpress.css or hook it up to your new theme which might be a tad more difficult.

the local development area that i mentioned more can be mentioned is great if you want to test things out like transferring files into another theme.

here if you use Windows Pc
http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-install-wordpress-on-your-windows-computer-using-wamp/

and here if you use Apple Mac
http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-install-wordpress-locally-on-mac-using-mamp/

steps umm i guess this.

1. set up local development area

2. download the files you have edited from your current theme on your website to your computer , ftp like filezilla is recommended.

3. transfer those files to your local development area , into the other theme you want to use.

4. start seeing if there is any issues. (the most likely is the get_theme_mod areas that add color) but that’s just color and you can add it to your bbpress.css.

Hi

I’ve recently added a bbpress forum to my site, and everything was ticking along well. Then suddenly, in a couple of threads, replies are being hidden for no reason at all. Here’s a sample thread:

Giving up during my first painting job.

This thread has two more replies (one from a subscriber, and a test one from me) that won’t show up. They are definitely public replies.

I’ve tested on other threads and they’re fine – except for one other instance.

I cannot for the life of me work out why this is happening. Any ideas?

[raulliive]

I have very weird issue with one of my admin users.

That user can’t edit or post anything on the forum. It even does not see the edit buttons.

When posting with this user it just reloads the page with the inputted content still in the input fields.

Other users can post without any issues.

I’m running latest bbpress version, with WP 4.0.

I suspect that some flag on database has got a hit from somewhere.

Any ideas what I could check?

[Robin W]

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

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.

Links to my forums on my homepage have suddenly stopped working and are returning 404 Errors. I’ve now removed most of the links because my website members are reporting errors but I’ve left a group on my homepage on the right side side panel.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what this could be?

My website is: http://www.whichinvest.com

I’m running WP4 and latest BBPress and BuddyPress too.

Many thanks

Hi,

sorry I have had a few wines now but very sure its been taken down since I grabbed it form the usual place:

I have WordPress on the bleeding edge setup for the alpha’s.. it seems to update every few hours.

Yes I know it shouldn’t be used on a truly live setup but have a new domain to use for it if I decide I like the combo as it’s a bit different to my normal choice of IPB and I have had quite a lot of fun fending off bots and other attacks. While at the same time promoting some future events which will make friends some money and get me free entry, while learning a new script at the same time.

I can easily rebuild it in an hour or so if it goes wrong and do the obvious backups.

I was just curious TBH. When I was younger I used to play around defacing such sites for jokes but a lot older now and don’t do such things. I have an odd obsession with having things before I should and helping fix/report if and when I can.

Thanks for the zipped link. And yes please do point me to the docs. I rarely use localhost though unless installing things that act up with newer PHP/MySQL versions, just a bit of fun really. I’m getting a lot of bot attacks but I’m quite cheeky when posting on other blogs to temp them TBH. I always considered WP a weak script but it’s improved a lot since maybe v2.x.x when I last tried it. I just like PHP and building things. Not so great with GFX.

Thanks again for the zip. If you comment tomorrow when I’m not drunk I will post the 2.2-a zip I have if you have not found it already. If the site continues to attract international traffic I will use stable versions on the new domain and protect it properly.

Just testing, google and other search engines seem to love the script after few mods. Though I have done quite a bit of SEO work mainly to try and stress it ha ha 🙂

I started with 4.0-beta-1 I think then just continued to see what I could make/break/fix 🙂

The site is here if you want a look and seems to be running quit well, WordFence is a bit buggy I find though while auto updates are on, causing cache issues at times but nothing that can’t be fixed. Nice to meet you.

Regards,
ANTi-CAP

@bepyland If you set the bbPress import rows to 50,000 that would be one single query, it would not work though unless you had one amazing MySQL installation. 😉

What the “rows” value means is how many topics or replies for each single query should be imported at a time, the default is 100, so when the importer is running each single query will import 100 topics at a time.

WordPress itself, and then bbPress also make queries along the way so just counting only bbPress import is not the only calculation needed.

Your best bet is to create a test site to test the import before migrating this to your “live” site:

hmm, these are html’s way of displaying the symbols of the keyboard. They shouldn’t show up.

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Hi,

A couple of weeks back, in the widgets area I noticed the bbPress login widgets on test1 and test1-nlcf test1 disappeared from the installed widgets area. I quickly shut down the sites and browser. I then logged in to both test1 and test1-nlcf, and in both installed new bbPress login widgets from the available widgets area. I set the widgets up the same as the ones that disappeared but the result was not the same. Now the login widgets appeared on the mobile version of my site – not only on the website version. I then noticed the bbPress login widgets that dissappeared were down in the unused widgets area. I removed the new login widgets and put the widgets from the unused widgets back where they were. Now the bbPress login widgets only appear on the website version of my site- not on the mobile version, the way the widgets were originally set up.

Now, on test1 and test1-nlcf the bbPress login widgets in the installed widgets area are different from the bbPress login widgets in the available widgets area.

Any help with this issue would be appreciated

Thank you for your time.

Jerry

you put the add filter code into your child themes functions.php or if you have a functionality plugin put it there.

and well i havent really tested that css code before so i didnt know if it really did work.
i just tried it a while ago and i cant get it to work at all.

if you got it to work send a link to the post so i can check it out.

[Robkk]

well when i look at mycred i see its pretty powerful .

it has a points system and also badges http://mycred.me/add-ons/badges/

heres a link of everthing thats built in

Add-ons

wp acheivements also has built in compatibility with mycred , bbpress, userpro , wordpress, woocommerce, and cubepoints

Their is also another i think completely free plugin called achievements for wordpress

https://wordpress.org/plugins/achievements/

this also has built in compatibilty with bbpress , and i think the plugin developer also is a part of team of developers of buddypress maybe bbpress too but not sure.

I would test out all the free achievement plugins first on a local development server like wamp for windows , or mamp for macintosh and see what suits your needs.

Hello, I am using s2member and I am managing to have the forum in the private area okay, but my issue is having the menus show up on all my private pages. For example, I called the page that the forum is on community-forum. I add my menu to the widgets area using a page number.
However, when someone clicks on one of the forum topics (Plant swap, for example) that page doesn’t have menus because the page has somehow changed to Forums/forum/plant-swap. I can add the topics that people can post under, but how on earth do I figure out what the page number for those forums are? And there is no way to get a menu showing on a topic underneath a forum category. That page is forums/topic/test-topic.

How can I set this up so the menus for this show on all the private pages? I could advise the users to use the breadcrumb menu along the top, but I have no idea why it goes to the page “forums” instead of the page I set up. I can’t even find that page.

I can’t link you to the page, as it is in the private area of an established site.

@pavle123

I understand that man, I would rather have this as a plugin or just a template for my forums opposed to a theme, as I do not want to change a theme.

well if i make a child theme you can just take whatever code is in the templates and the bbpress.css file i have.

I know this info about quicksprout because I am an active member of a community and it has been mentioned by the owner (i think there is even a sticky post about forum cost since many people ask this over and over).

J just saw the topic , it even says he plans to spend 20,000 when its all set and done. When I really looked at it I can see there is some modified plugins like bbpress direct quotes and new ones like how it has reputation under each user, but c’mon 20,000!!!

What I do not like about their theme is that you have to click on the subforms in order to see if there is a latest post already there.

well i like to keep some freshness stats when the forum is mobile. And how i have it right now is the latest post time goes to the latest topic in that forum.

Hi,

i found an error in your css file. I read this media query:

@media screen and (max-device-width: 480px), screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) {
-webkit-text-size-adjust: none;
}

This rules does’nt work because it is semantically incorrect.
Normally the plugin works fine but if you try to minify your css file (I tested it with w3 total cache), the minify file generates an error and doesn’t work correctly.

Please, can you fix this ?

Thanks

Andrea

P.s.: I found this error on bbpress and buddypress wordpress plugins.
