Hey, if I get any issues like this then I started to disable plugins one by one and then test posting to see if there is a plugin conflict, good place to start.

[Stephen Edgar]

I just read this http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/bbpress-user-profile-page-problem/

Whatever the issue was with your theme that you had the issue with in July and fixed in August is back. As you stated in that thread bbPress works fine with Twenty Twelve, I am not sure what these dynamic templates are or how they work but most certainly this is your issue and not a bbPress issue.

I would also recommend if you are going to setup a test site to test WordPress & bbPress, you don’t add all the extra plugins like BuddyPress, Members, Jetpack etc as they add more complexity to an issue you are trying to isolate, so you should remove all your plugins except bbPress.

I am testing the functionalities of this forum plugin to replace the one I am currently using.
I installed it on a test site of mine, and strangely, when I use the url for the forum (which also strangely has /forums/forum/ in the URL) I get some odd behaviors:

1- when I use the url generated when I created some forums, I get a set of breadcrumbs for Home > blog and below that, I have the expected Home > Forum. I really don’t need the two sets of breadcrumbs, especially since they are not pointing to the same location

2- in following the previous point, the BLOG gets highlighted in the navigation even if I have made the FORUM the one element to click on to access this forum I created. Why is the blog being highlighted?

My test site is here: http://digiscrapcampus.com/main

Just in case it was something specific I might have done in the test site, I tried it on the live site (for 5 minutes) and sure enough, I also have two sets of breadcrumbs and the BLOG appears in the navigation.

I am using Headway Theme 2.0.15.

So far, I love what I am seeing, but would really need to get these odd behaviors fixed before implementing it on my test site. Can someone suggest a plan of action to fix those?

Hi Stephen ( @netweb ), Sorry for the late reply, I changed my host recently from meditemple to wpengine and it took a while to learn about wpengine platform The same issue is happening in my new test site:

If you go here and login as “guest” user you will see the problem, the same link shows fine when the user is “test” which is the administrator of this site: http://megm.wpengine.com/forums/forum/magazine-articles/july-december-2013/

This link show fine for both users:

http://megm.wpengine.com/forums/forum/magazine-articles/

“guest” user is a subscriber, “test” user is the admin. they both have the same password “welcome”

Thanks for looking at this.

Kind regards

Some seriously nice work in your script 🙂

I have just merged your changes into mine
https://gist.github.com/ntwb/7889409/revisions

And I forked your Gist and merged those changes into yours https://gist.github.com/ntwb/7955389/revisions

Both files are the same and you can download either to use and test, using the /revisions it should show you a little clearer the changes I made.

In summary the main updates were:
* Fixes PHP Class name – From Example_Converter to miniBB
* Includes forum slug
* Uses the callback_topic_reply_count for topic/reply counts
* Added topic Author IP
* Added topic slug
* Added topic status (Open/Closed) and callback
* Added reply post id
* Added reply title and reply title callback
* Added reply slug
* Updated password verify class miniBB
* Stores custom user profile _bbp_minibb_user_instantmessenger, _bbp_minibb_user_occupation, _bbp_minibb_user_location & _bbp_minibb_user_interests in wp_usermeta

[Stephen Edgar]

so would i add that line to the themes functions.php to test it?

Yes, if it works or doesn’t work a note on that ticket would also be helpful or any other notes such as any particulars of your setup that may help in tracking this down further would help.

Subscriptions should be fine, my ~600 subscriptions appear to be working fine :/

[Ben Hansen]

so would i add that line to the themes functions.php to test it?

also i could be crazy but i don’t think the subscriptions are working properly on this forum i keep trying to subscribe this thread and it doesn’t seem to want to stick.

thanks!

Ok so I’m using buddypress, and as I understand it subscribers to my website have the comments, buddypress, and bbpress all connected. So if you upload a avatar for one it’ll be used for all. As I understand it being on wordpress for a month.

Is there a (simple noob) way or plugin to get options on avatar sizes? And somehow get it to work for buddypress, bbpress, and comments. Or at least bbpress.

In other words if users upload a square avatar it’ll be square in the comments, buddypress profile, and bbpress since they’re all connected. Or if they upload a long rectangular one it’ll be long and rectangular everywhere also. I can settle for square in the comments but I really want long ones in buddy and bbpress.

Or would I have to change the code in buddypress, and in bbpress, and somehow for the comments as I think I do. If thats the case I only ask for help with the bbpress since this is bbpress support.

I know how to change the avatar size in buddypress from this article (though I haven’t tried it yet, I like to gather information then potentially ruin my site afterwards). http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-change-the-default-buddypress-avatar-sizes/

Problem is I’m not sure if the cropping will still work if I change from square to rectangle as the cropping seems to only work in squares. So I found this article to deal with the cropping. http://offthewallmedia.com/programming/buddypress-crop-avatar-to-any-ratio Though I haven’t tested it yet.

So I just wanted to ask before I mess something up if there is a better way to accomplish all this or if there was a plugin or anything and if I change all these settings in buddypress would it be the same for bbpress andor the comments. Thanks for any help.

Be sure to check bbPress versions (latest 2.5.1) and if you are up to date then the developer/mods may have to update the POT files also, which is something to forget easily.

Hi

My BBPress plugin isn’t appearing in my WP menu. I installed it as instructed and the widgets are appearing but I can’t add new forums from my main WP menu.

Is anybody else having this problem. Does someone know how to fix this please?

I’m using the latest versions of WP and BBpress.

My web site address is http://www.mooshimode.com.au.

Thanks

Olivia

I just did some more checking and set the UTC to the standard UTC+0

That made no diference on new posts edit time, still had to set it above 420 minutes.
I think this means that the edit time is related to the IP address/location, since my location is UTC+7

To test this you could use a VPN and pretend to be in an other location/timezone.

[Stephen Edgar]

I am testing this now but I cannot reproduce it.

Do you the correct time zone +7UTC set in WordPress’ settings?

Hi there,

I am using the theme hueman, the latest WordPress, all up to date and have asked this question in their support but have still not received a reply.

I have one small problem with User Profiles and that is there are no sidebars showing at all, The sidebars are present in the forum just not the profiles and also in some other forum stats pages examples:

No sidebars
User profile

Most Popular Topics

Has Sidebars
Forum

Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance

[gmacev]

But, as I said, I have the latest version. Just checked now again and it is: 2.5.1

[Stephen Edgar]

I made a custom import for minibb.

Cool 🙂

I just did my first test import and it took like 12 hours to finish.

How big is your forum? (i.e. number of topics and replies)

Now I want to know if it’s possible to import only the latest post, topics etc instead of doing a complete import when I want to go live?

No it is not, my suggestion would be to copy your database and then cut it down to only the topics & replies you want to import directly with MySQL

And here is my ‘work in progress’ bbPress miniBB.php importer 🙂 https://gist.github.com/ntwb/7889409 🙂

EDIT: I should add that mine has a few issues and I know it doesn’t quite work 🙁
If you have some tips to fix mine up that would be great as we could then include it in bbPress.

[Stephen Edgar]

I’d suggest you create yourself a test user and go from there:

Do this with all your plugins disabled except bbPress, BuddyPress and bbPress Advanced Capabilities, I’m also presuming you are not also using S2/Members or any other plugin of this type.

* Sign up as a new user just as a new user would
* Now as ‘admin’ check the user role & caps via bbPress Advanced Capabilities (Should be none)
* Logout & Login as this new user
* Now as ‘admin’ check the user role & caps via bbPress Advanced Capabilities(Should now be Participant)

Hi

I posted here last week, but for some reason my post didn’t appear, so trying again.

I am running bbpress 2.5.1 Buddypress 1.8.1 and WordPress 3.7.1 and having problems finding documentation to support getting my forums (or are they now called groups) to work at http://www.thehouseofdog.co.uk/groups/

No one seems able to post a new topic, not even me. The forums are not clear, you have to select the forums tab to get them up (and then they’re empty because no one can create a new topic) and I just need to know where I can find a manual to set this all up.

I spent 3 hours last Friday trying to find out why the ‘forums’ tab wasn’t displaying in my dashboard, only to discover I’d been looking for something which obviously doesn’t show in the latest bbpress version (but the documentation says it does).

Can someone please help me? I’ve never used wordpress, buddypress or bbpress before and I really need a manual which is up to date!

Thanks

Hello – new to this forum.

I have just started using bbPress (WordPress plugin), and I see that the ‘Freshness’ is incorrect for my test forum (localhost). The topic and post dates are in fact correct (when you go to the post, look at WP Admin, the post dates are accurate), but ‘Freshness’ is completely incorrect.

For now, I am developing my own Freshness algorithm, and will include it via theme compatability. I just wanted to add feedback that there seems to be a problem w ‘Freshness’ that would benefit from a fix.

Thanks. –Bill

I’m using the latest bbPress. I’m not sure, but I think this started after the last update.

Hi,

I’m using the latest wordPress and bbPress and for some reason new topcis and posts don’t show up if I’m logged out. When I log in the posts are there. I tired disable caching plugin, checked forum permissions, but nothing happened.

Any idea?

[Dan]

So I’ve been trying to debug this problem for about a month and finally decided to try and get some extra help. Here’s a summary of what’s going on.

When a user clicks Edit, they are brought to a page that’s showing the excerpt for the reply, with a Continue Reading button. No editing can be done. Regular topics can be edited as expected, but replies are pulling from my post loop it seems.

Here’s what the topic looks like: http://imm.io/1lH2h

Here’s what happens when I try to edit my first post / topic post: http://imm.io/1lH2t

Here’s what happens if I try to edit a reply: http://imm.io/1lH2y

The website is lootpalace.com – I’ve got a dev clone readily available for testing ideas out on.

Does anyone know where to begin looking for something like this? The theme’s creator is MIA (Huddle theme from Themeforest), and if I knew which files to begin digging through, I might be able to fix it on my own.

I’m using WordPress 3.7.1
I’m using BuddyPress 1.8.1
I’m using bbPress 2.4.1

I can provide more information upon request, would appreciate any help or general finger pointing to get me in the right direction. Thanks!

[arwenmckenzie]

I just jumped on this forum thread since it’s asking of a feature I’d like to use and the voices has to go (sorry developers) but none works but moves the other columns around and hidden doesn’t do anything on my live site (on the contrary with my test site) which should have been live again three hours ago but now is not launchable in it’s full due to this glitch

[arwenmckenzie]

I open up this topic. I used the code snippet above and it worked like a charm on my test site but now on my live site it’s either ugly line up – which I guess is the reason for @elpju to change from none to hidden in the first place.

However hidden does not respond for my code 🙁 None does and that’s where they ugly breaking up of layout shows and with hidden there’s absolutely nothing happening.

Hi

Having never used bbpress before and being relatively new to wordpress, I’m struggling to get the forums on my site up and running.

Having spent 3 hours today just looking for the ‘forums’ tab, I eventually worked out that the reason I couldn’t find it was because in the latest version of buddypress (or bbpress?) there is no ‘forums’ tab – it is named ‘Groups’ instead! It seems the documentation on here is outdated and this has caused me no end of agro today aggggh!

Now I finally worked that out, and the forums option magically somehow appeared in my individual ‘groups’, I’m now unable to make a post in any groups, even when logged in as a keymaster!

Can anyone help me with this? I don’t even know where to find up to date documentation for this plugin now, everything I’ve read is outdated and has confused me. Can anyone point me in the direction of a place to find documentation for bbpress 2.5.1, when running with buddypress 1.8.1 on wordpress 3.7.1? Or just help me to get these forums useable!

Also, is there a way to allow forum users to add photos to their posts?

Thanks
