Boy do I feel like a fish out of water here…sheesh. I’ve been designing for 30+ years and just now moving into this new medium, it’s challenging me for sure. I’m pretty insecure about messing with the code on my own, but have some folks I can draw in to help me with this. But before I do any of that I’ll just throw a few more thoughts into the ring just to clarify. First, yes, this is a paid theme from themeforest as well as the pro version of S2, which is what my suspect is causing the conflict (due to other things I’ve read online. I’ve sent a query to S2 to see what their thoughts are as well).

I guess what I’m unsure about in your reply above is about the page templates. The only thing I’ve done is install bbPress, click the activate button, and then the sidebar widget disappears. To test this isn’t template related I created a new page, not based on any theme, just added a full width panel and my set the page to show my left sidebar with custom widget.

I previewed the page, which looked accurate, then activated the bbPress plug in and as suspected, the left sidebar widget disappeared. The theme still show the left sidebar space, but no widget is present.

So, here I am scratching my head… feeling like a dummy. My first thought is, get another cup of coffee. Second thought is hire you to fix it for me <grin>. #2 sounds like it has much better success. Although, it doesn’t teach me how to overcome my challenge, so, I guess in the long run that is self defeating.

Ideally, I’d like the forum to function within the space to the right of our sidebar, but haven’t even begun to think about how to even set up the forum yet, still trying to figure out why it’s messing up what I’ve already created.

While you’re reading this (and probably laughing at my inexperience…which is OK, I laugh at myself all the time) I’ll see if I can decipher the step-by-step instructions. And, truly, if you want to jump in and do some private consultation I’d be happy to give you my phone number and we can talk personally. Don’t know if that breaks rules or what..but just thought I’d throw it on the table.

Thanks for your help Robin.. I appreciate it more than you know…truly. Also, I’m going to be out of the office most of the day, so we may have to continue this conversation on Monday.

Short question: How do I check if I’m on a page (or blog) from within ‘loop-single-reply.php’?

WP 3.8.3
bbpress 2.5.3
URL: 24baby.nl

Long question: I use bbpress for all my comments on articles and blogs: ‘Use a bbPress forum topic for comments on this post.’

On my website this generates a first post along the lines of (my website is in Dutch): ‘This topic belongs to article <LINK>. Share your thoughts!’

This text is visible both under the actual article and on the forums. While it’s a good way to explain the purpose of the thread on the forums, it’s confusing as the first reply on the actual article page. Because of that I don’t want to show this first reply on all my blog / page ‘pages’, but do want to show them on the forums.

It’s fairly easy to remove the first reply within ‘loop-replies.php’, but I don’t know how to test whether I’m on the forums or not? Is_page doesn’t work, is_bbpress always returns true.

Hi, I have tried everything I can find on the forum and elsewhere to fix this with no luck. Probably an easy fix but I’m new to this.

This is great: http://ace2five.tv/forums/ and most other pages display ok but,
click through into a forum: http://ace2five.tv/forums/forum/bbpress-theme/ or here: http://ace2five.tv/forums/topic/topic-bbpress/ and it fails to display correctly.

Theme is True Mag installed this week, bbPress installed latest version yesterday. Any help much appreciated.

[Robin W]

can you post a link?

I’d try switching themes to test if it is a theme issue

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

[mlocke90]

These are the steps I took on my local test area to recreate the problem;

– latest version of both WP and BBpress
– both are fresh installs
– using twentyfourteen theme
– no child themes

1. Create a public category
2. Create a public forum
3. Make a topic on participant user
4. Mark the topic as private on keymaster account – via wordpress visibility
5. Try to read topic on keymaster account. It will show up in the topic loop, but when you click on the specific topic to read it the topic content will not show.
6. Try and read the topic on the participant (author) account and everything shows fine.

Hey guys,

I have made a test of bbPress on my page here:

http://gamehub.dk/forum/

However, as you can see, there is a “read more” (Læs mere in danish) in the bottom of the page, and I have no clue how to remove this? Anyone who can help?

[Pasquale Galasso]

OK

Edit: test eliminated (this is not good)

[Stephen Edgar]

I just added the tag ‘test’ again, can you reply and delete the ‘test’ tag?

[Pasquale Galasso]

I did ping to my site.

before writing in reply [bbPress Trac] # 2421 I do still other test…

[Pasquale Galasso]

Dear Step, I’m seeing is different. On this site bbpress.org I delete tags of the topic where I’m responding to. Before there was the “test” tag and I try to have deleted.

[Stephen Edgar]

(Rather than bumping very old topics I split this into a new topic)

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

Participants can ‘assign_topic_tags’

Keymasters and Moderators can ‘manage_topic_tags’, ‘edit_topic_tags’, ‘delete_topic_tags’ & ‘assign_topic_tags’.

Are you seeing something different? What user role are you using to test this?

[Stephen Edgar]

Yes 🙂

You can download and install the e107 v1 importer from #2421.

Any testing and feedback you can provide would be very helpful.

[Pasquale Galasso]

Now in this topic no longer exists the tag “test” before there was.

🙁

[Pasquale Galasso]

People deleting/removing tags from threads? Yesh in my forum.

I created a normal forum account, with this account you can delete tags in the topic, he can also delete tags entered by an administrator. Where can I go to fix?

Now I try to delete test tag (which is below in this form). If I can do it, I could do it in all forums.

Hi

WP 3.9
BBP 2.5.3
TwentyTen

I use WPPA a lot on my blog and would like to integrate in BBPress.

When I add it in topic i get this:

http://goandstay.co.za/blog/forums/topic/testtopic-2/#.U15rdfmSySo

The code instead of the slideshow.

Jacob Breedtveld . aka Opajaap (author of this amazing plugin) (http://wppa.opajaap.nl/ & https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-photo-album-plus/) says:

If this also does not work, ask the BBPress boys if there is a possiility that on the particular text shortcodes can be expanded ( $text = do_shortcode( $text ); ) or that the standard content filters can be run. ( $text = apply_filters( ‘the_content’, $text ); )

I don’t have a clue what Jacob says, but think you will know!

Thanks

[Robin W]

I have no idea of this plugin works if you are using buddypress (it does with bbpress) but might be worth a quick test – let us know either way !

[Nomi]

Thanks for your reply. Its working now without turning off.

I am not sure but I think Theme test drive plugin was creating issue.

[ww_hoax]

See my test:

<a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/kkeoj8bqrs0jok5/Topic.png" title="bbcode" target="_blank"></a>
nothing appears

[tharsheblows]

Ah ha – and hmm, would it still pick up the rest of the defaults, eg img and blockquote and those? The correct answer to this question is “You have a test install, play with it and figure it out yourself.” so I will. Later.

I know what you mean about the amount that can be learned in 12 months. 12 months I was trying and trying to convince a client that they didn’t want a forum! Of course, that was for reasons other than development but it has turned out very well – cheap and easy (ok maybe not cheap and maybe not super simple when you count in moderation and user issues and all that) but an excellent way to get constantly updated content.

Ok… so I’ve been working on this all day. I installed BuddyPress, then I installed bbPress. The only other plugin installed at the time was Jetpack. I’m using Thememakers Blessing Theme on WP 3.8.3 and the latest BuddyPress and bbPress plugins.

However, I went to create a new user (participant) and noticed that none of the new roles usually created when installing bbPress were there. I still only have the standard roles created when WP is installed.

Here are the steps I’ve taken. I uninstalled all other active plugins. I uninstalled BuddyPress and bbPress. (completely deleted) I changed themes to a more generic theme (TwentyThirteen). So I was basically back to a fresh install of WordPress. I’m working on a new site that is not live yet so no big deal.

I went and re-installed bbPress and still nothing. No new roles. No Keymaster, no participant… nothing. I’ve been searching for quite a while and I can’t find that anyone else has had this issue.

Does anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.

[mlocke90]

I’ve tried everything you said. Deactivated everything but bbpress, switched to twentytwelve and did it all again on my localhost test area.

Any other ideas on what may be causing this? Or any other way of making private topics inside a public forum?

[carterlongbeach]

Thanks for the code! I just modified it by commenting out the add user contacts section and using the Register Plus Redux field (which requires users to pick a school upon registration).

I then added code to echo a hyperlink. For each new school I will add new hyperlink code. So far it seems to be working!

function clb_school_replies_author() {
 
echo get_user_meta(bbp_get_reply_author_id(), 'rpr_testfield', true); 

if (get_user_meta(bbp_get_reply_author_id(), 'rpr_testfield', true) == 'school1')  
echo nl2br ("\n<a href=http://www.school1.edu target=_blank>School 1 Web Page</a>");

if (get_user_meta(bbp_get_reply_author_id(), 'rpr_testfield', true) == 'school2')  
echo nl2br ("\n<a href=http://www.school2.edu target=_blank>School 2 Web Page</a>");

[Robin W]

@slprof

If you want to try just the latest reply, then try

function change_reply_order() {
$args['order'] = 'DESC';
$args['posts_per_page'] = '1';
return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args', 'change_reply_order');

But I suspect it will have some weird effects on the site, and of course you’ll never see anything but the latest post, so if pupil a posts and a minute laters pupil b, then you’ll never see pupil a’s.

or do you mean that for each topic, pupil a would be pupil a’s reply, pupil b would see pupils b’s reply etc.?

[Robin W]

@slprof

Try putting this in your functions file

function change_reply_order() {
$args['order'] = 'DESC';
 return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args', 'change_reply_order');

I haven’t tested, so come back if it doesn’t work, it should do topic then replies with latest at top

[slprof]

Yes. I need this also. I would like:

Initial post
– reply 3
– reply 2
– reply 1

Maybe there’s a better way for me to do this. I post topics like “Write a journal entry” — I’m an English teacher. I don’t want to have to scroll down forever or page over. I want the latest reply by the student minus the other student’s comments to show up. Now THAT would be cool. Hm. I should post this elsewhere but I think it’s kinda related to blg002’s post.
