@remcob00 What can I say… AWESOME, thank you, tested and working magnificently 🙂

Hi,
I am building a multilingual (WPML plugin) website with a Bbpress forum inside. The forum is not multilingual and the fact that bbpress uses page.php to generate its pages causes the flag icons to display. They are not needed and they point to nowhere …
So I have to suppress the flags icons in the header when the page.php is displaying a forum.
But how can I test (in php) that I am in the forum ?

Thanks for any clue.

So… I just took another user I have for testing and made it a Participant in the forums (from the user page). That changed its view of the forums to the problematic one above. I changed it back to “No role on these forums” and it has the normal view again. But of course then it can’t post.

I changed it to Moderator, and this time it could see the normal view of the forums, but then it still can’t post.

I’ve read in another thread that you can delete all of your settings, everything, and then start over. I’d like to try that. But I can’t seem to find where to do that on the Settings page – how do I do that?

[janellv]

Well….turns out my site was attacked by spammers yesterday and turned off by my web host. That’s all worked out now, so everything should be visible again….

And I am running bbp 2.4 – I accidentally took the number from a different plugin.

Ok, so here’s something really weird. I just created a new user, UN testing, PW testing, and the forum looks ok for that user. The only difference between the two that I can find is that on the list of users page, the Forum Role says “Participant” for the gvrunner username, and is blank for the testing username. But if I go in to view their user info, it does say Participant for both of them in the Forum Role dropdown at the bottom.

I too am looking for examples for displaying the latest replies, topics etc. from specific forums.

I am resorting to trying to get the information from the database with mysql queries but because a reply has a parent of topic which has a parent of forum_id I am not sure how to get the forum_id of a reply.

[Biswadip]

I want the latest posts (topics or replies) from a specific forum. I can get the latest posts from all forums with something like:

SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type = ‘reply’ OR post_type = ‘topic’ ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 4

What I need to do is to specify the forum of the topic or reply by adding a condition saying something like:

If it is a reply get the parent of the parent_type (i.e. the specific forum which is the parent of the topic) and if it is a topic get the parent_type (which I can get from the wp_posts table). Then check if this matches the specific forum we want.

No idea how to do this though (especially the parent of the parent_type bit)……..

[Stephen Edgar]

This issue typically comes up when people are testing the import to bbPress. If you import the users and forums, topics, replies etc then reset bbPress only the forums, topics, topic tags and replies are deleted. bbPress does not delete the imported users as the user account may have additional WordPress roles (eg. Author) and has blog posts or comments on blog posts etc and we don’t want bbPress deleting content that isn’t its own.

Ideally you would have a test site for WordPress & bbPress to test the importer and once you are happy with everything get bbPress installed on your primary WordPress site, disable your existing forums and import into bbPress ‘all the things’ and be up and running from then on with bbPress.

Hi… me again!

I do have the latest versions of WordPress 3.6.1 and bbPress 2.4

When I make a forum post you can hardly see the words… Very faint! I’ve checked all the settings but I don’t see any setting for that. I tried different Themes including TwentyEleven but no change.

Thanks

forums/user/test/
is rendering very weirdly:

<div class="entry-content" itemprop="text"><p>Profile Topics Started Replies Created Favorites Subscriptions Edit Profile Forum Role: Keymaster Topics Started: 0 Replies Created: 1</p>
</div>

which looks obviously incorrect because it’s missing html tags in between things.

I tried putting a die; at the bottom of templates\default\bbpress\user-profile.php and the page rendered properly, but all the other profile type pages are still broken. Removing everything from my functions.php doesn’t help either.

What could be going back and stripping out the html tags?

I am developing in a Genesis child theme and installed a bbPress Genesis Extend plugin.

David, thanks for the tip on moving a topic from one forum to the other. I found that I also have to make a new post to the “to” forum as well as the “from” forum, in order to get them both to show the correct number of posts in each.

The /forums/ page indicates that the moved topic is still in the old forum, and not in the new. Further, going into the old (from) forum, I see “there is one topic in this forum” but none listed. Similarly, going into the new (to) forum, I see “there are no topics…” and yet the topic I moved in there is listed. Creating (and then deleting) a new “test” topic in each causes the issue to be corrected in all listing pages.

It’s a rather frustrating work-around, but at least it solves the problem I was having. I am using version 2.4 now, and it’s still an issue. Hoping that might be resolved in the next release or so.

Ok so I have the latest wordpress / bbpress and buddy press so far as I know.

I have created a forum – and it would seem that only people who are keymasters / admins can actually comment / post through the forum. Every time I log into my test account which is set as a ‘participant’ and subscriber, i get the message “you do not have permission” when i try to comment or reply to a forum post.

I have been looking into this for a good couple of days now. I have installed the members plugin, I have re-routed the forum roles etc….

I’m at a loss

[Daniel J. Lewis]

The solution ended up being really simple. Just create a “recent posts” page (or call it whatever you want” and use the shortcode [ bbp-topic-index ].

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks for that, it appears it’s not related to another bug I was testing for 🙁

As per above using your bbPress.org/wordpress.org username and password can you create a ticket on Trac and we can then track it much better there.

Hello, I have a default WordPress install (latest version) with a default bbPress 2.4 install using TwentyTwelve, no files have been modified. The replies pagination does not work, though the pagination for topic listings is.

Does anybody else have this issue? I’m going to take a look at the pagination functions and see if I can come up with a fix

Thanks.

[francishunger]

On http://www.ausstellungpro.de/?post_type=forum the login is not working as expected. I have created a ‘testuser’ with password ‘testuser’ and role ‘participant’.

When logging in, in the frontend there seems to be nothing happening (e.g. I could create a new post or the warning ‘You must be logged in to create new topics.’ disappears).

In addition, the forum is in English, while it should be in German like the rest of the site.

What should I look for or try out?

[benjito]

I strongly suspect this is a problem due to my noviceness but i can’t for the life of me figure out what is going on and the forum posts don’t seem to quite match.

I have set up a couple of test forums to try out bbPress but the landing page (below) domain.com/forums is just throwing out a lump of un-rendered text, rather than links to the forums available.

any ideas?

Hi guys,

Has there been any other fix to this problem, as I don’t have direct access to our server I can’t modify core files either. Problem is same as above if the Forum root “forums” shares a name with a page it does not use the page settings but tries to display it like a blog layout. So if you click Forums in the breadcrumb it takes you to a blog archive type page instead of the index page it should. I am using latest version of wordpress 3.6.1, latest version of bbpress 2.4 and use Headway theme 3.5.5. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Link to site is http://thaimarket.co.za/forum/ Thanks

[arthurse]

Thanks Travis. MyCred seems to be good for me, i tested it a little bit, have a lot of settings and works with bbPress. May be it will be my choice.

[bluesage]

Hey guys! 🙂

Just wondering if you can help me. All the research I’ve done on bbpress.org points to articles 1 and 2 years ago which isn’t relevant anymore (due to directories and files being changed.)

What I’m wondering is, how can I get bbpress to honor or become similar to the theme I’ve chosen in WP?

I’ve seen all about copying files named bbp_xxx and “compat” related stuff but in the latest WP/bbPress combo I don’t see any of those options still remain.

Anyone care to shine a light please? I’m really loving WP + bbPress. It’s actually what I’ve needed over and instead of all the other forum software I’ve dealt with since 2009. (4 years later LOL.)

Thanks much,
Bluesage.

wordpress = 3.6.1
bbpress = 2.4
theme = twenty ten with bbpress child (css heavily modified)

so when a new user registers, i have a plugin that allows me to accept or deny the new user registration. PLUGIN = New User Approve(1.5.2)

the new user gets email being sent during the approval and acceptance process:

“You have been approved to access MySite Community
Username: testdan1
http://www.mysite.com/community/wp-login.php”

That is all that the users gets when i approve them? where is the password? If i deny the user, they get:

“You have been denied access to MySite Community”

hello. sometimes i feel like a senior citizen using a computer for the first time when it comes to WordPress…
i’m working on a site http://www.evangelicalassociation.org/EAWordpress and i’m hoping to create a forum that requires a log-in and can receive email notifications when a new topic is posted. i’ve downloaded the latest version of bbpress as well as bbpress email notifications today.

where do i start? how do i add the forum to my page? when someone clicks on the ‘forum’ menu option in the navigation, will it prompt to create a log-in?

i’m very new to wordpress and i know very little about coding and things like that, so please be gentle 🙂

thank you for your help!!!

Did you find a solution for this? I’d like to try this as well.

[FreeWPress]

function bbpress_title_duplicates($title, $sep, $seplocation){
	$usrurl = 'http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
	if (false !== strpos($usrurl,'users')) {
		if (false !== strpos($usrurl,'topics')) {
    		$title = str_replace('il profilo di', 'Argomenti aperti - test', $title);
		} elseif (false !== strpos($usrurl,'replies')) {
    		$title = str_replace('il profilo di', 'Risposte create - test', $title);
		} elseif (false !== strpos($usrurl,'subscriptions')) {
    		$title = str_replace('il profilo di', 'Discussioni sottoscritte - test', $title);
		} elseif (false !== strpos($usrurl,'favorites')) {
    		$title = str_replace('il profilo di', 'Topic preferiti - test', $title);
		} else {
    	$title = str_replace('il profilo di', 'Profilo - p', $title);
		}
    }
    return $title;
}

Nothing changed… show only: “Il profilo di nickname” Do not replace nothing.. This is impossible! :/
