I am preparing WordPress as a website with a forum for owners with sick dogs. Included in the website is a medical glossary plugin. It has worked so well on the pages that I have purchased their Pro+ version.
http://wordpress.org/plugins/enhanced-tooltipglossary/

The problem I am having is that the tooltip plugin is not recognizing terms inside the forum topic or posts and the tooltips are not coming up on hover:
http://www.secondchanceaihadogs.com/forums/topic/test/

CM support says “I am not sure how bbpress use post and if it use the content filters on them. If it does it will show the tooltip”

I could use some help. Should I be asking here about this, the designer of the theme or go back to CM support for the answer how to make this work?

Yes, that was what I inferred by ‘back end’ & ‘front end’ that I tried it from both places that we can create topics, the front end and the back end.

The one thing I did do, that I have just tested against was I had copied and pasted the the ‘content’ from the back end to create the topic in the front end.

I just manually typed the following into the ‘front end’ for single quote ', double quote " and

`

tilde symbols.

I am also using a clean install and the Twenty Thirteen theme so like yourself I am a little perplexed as to why we are seeing something different.

[JakubMarian]

Have you created the topic using the form that’s part of the forum, or using the administration panel? If I use the administration panel, everything is saved as it should; however, when I use the submit form in the forum, characters get converted to HTML entities.

I tested it using a clean installation of the latest version of WordPress with the default theme where the only plugin installed was bbPress, with exactly the result I have described above.

[Stephen Edgar]

Cool, glad your taking a look at it.

“It seems to have appended an extre Re: in front of each (so they read Re:Re:Topic)”

The Re: should only be added to the title of a reply, this should not be adding them to the topics and this shows that the SQL in the importer isn’t quite matching up with your database.

The SQL queries below are based on the Kunena1.php importer and use the prefix jos_ as the table prefix for the bbPress importer.

When the importer fails you should see an error message like the following:
WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'kunena_categories.locked1' in 'field list']

In this particular case the importer was looking for jos_kunena_categories.locked1 where jos_kunena_categories is the table name and locked1 is the field name. I used ‘locked1’ as a way to force an error to show the example, so if I knew my version of the database should be looking at the field locked instead of locked1 you can find the 'from_fieldname' => 'locked1' in Kunena1.php and update that with the correct field mapping 'from_fieldname' => 'locked',.

Another way you can go about this is to jump directly into phpMyAdmin and test each of the following SQL queries, there are primarily four queries are as follows:

Again I used prefix jos_ for my database and you will need to change this to match your own database table prefix.

Forums

SELECT 
kunena_categories.id AS id,
kunena_categories.parent AS parent,
kunena_categories.numTopics AS numTopics,
kunena_categories.numPosts AS numPosts,
kunena_categories.name AS name,
kunena_categories.description AS description,
kunena_categories.ordering AS ordering,
kunena_categories.locked AS locked 
FROM jos_kunena_categories AS kunena_categories

Topics

SELECT 
kunena_messages.thread AS thread,
kunena_messages.catid AS catid,
kunena_messages.userid AS userid,
kunena_messages.ip AS ip,
kunena_messages_text.message AS message,
kunena_messages.subject AS subject,
kunena_messages.time AS time,
kunena_messages.locked AS locked 
FROM jos_kunena_messages AS kunena_messages 
INNER JOIN jos_kunena_messages_text AS kunena_messages_text 
ON kunena_messages_text.mesid = kunena_messages.id 
WHERE kunena_messages.parent = 0

Replies

SELECT 
kunena_messages.id AS id,
kunena_messages.catid AS catid,
kunena_messages.thread AS thread,
kunena_messages.ip AS ip,
kunena_messages.userid AS userid,
kunena_messages.subject AS subject,
kunena_messages_text.message AS message,
kunena_messages.time AS time 
FROM jos_kunena_messages AS kunena_messages 
INNER JOIN jos_kunena_messages_text AS kunena_messages_text 
ON kunena_messages.id = kunena_messages_text.mesid 
WHERE kunena_messages.parent != 0

Users

SELECT 
users.id AS id,
users.password AS password,
users.username AS username,
users.email AS email,
users.registerDate AS registerDate 
FROM jos_users AS users

That’s a bit to digest so I’ll leave it at that for now and it is probably as clear as mud unless you are a seasoned SQL junkie.

If anything I wrote above doesn’t make sense just ask away and remember 🙂

Hi Stephen ( @netweb ), I actually have a proper website where I have installed bbpress and it is not so easy for me to start building the site again from scratch. I have this problem and I wasn’t sure how to fix it. This is why I came to this site to ask for help. but instead I got accused of lying. Which is really disappointing. All those test sites I built was to demonstrate the problem including the one you found on the internet.

If you are not willing to help or you don’t think the problem is important please do not respond.That’s what happens most of the time on this site anyway and it is better that way.

it is really interesting that I never get any real help from this site. I wish I could delete my account but i cannot. But I have the freedom to leave and that’s what I am going to do.

Regards

I tested this function of edit profile also on your own bbpress website and here it’s working perfectly fine, on this page https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/rollsjoyce/edit/
My forum role is also: participant.
I cannot find out what is causing my errors.

[Rollsjoyce]

Hi,
I am using version 2.5.1 of the bbpress plugin and 3.8 wordpress 3.7.1.
It is not possible for forum role:participant as well as forum role:Keymaster to edit any field in profile in the page with [bbp-register].
There appears an error message:
ERROR: Password couldn’t be empty.
ERROR: Password confirmation couldn’t be empty.

Even when the password area is blank and I also tested it with the password area filled in.
http://www.paragliding-holland.nl/test-registration/

Maybe this is a bug, but I am not sure.

What can I do to fix this problem?

[Stephen Edgar]

I have used this plugin to test email, seems to test what’s needed.

Remember to deactivate/delete it after you have done your testing.

[FreeWPress]

You must to update at latest version 2.5.1 and resolve this issue!!

[mkistler]

I think we solved the issue. I believe the “threaded replies” plugin is not compatible with the latest WordPress update. Thanks!

[Stephen Edgar]

This is not even a new test site as you mention above, this is still your old test site from that article I linked to above.

Whatever previous hacks and or workarounds you have added are most likely still in place causing the issue, delete that entire site and database and start with a clean slate, install WordPress with a clean database then install bbPress.

[Lynqoid]

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

[Stephen Edgar]

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.

[mooshimode]

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

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
