I have a the latest wordpress installed and I am using a theme from themeforest called bounce.
BBPress 2.2 and Buddypress 1.6.1

The question I have is about user roles. I have a user that is set up as a keymaster for the site as well as the forum. When logged in the edit member shows up in the admin bar at the top while viewing a members profile page.

When I click on edit profile or edit avatar or edit capability I get a sorry page not found. If I change the users site role from keymaster to admin all the above links work. The permalinks are the same when I roll over the edit links so I am confused as to why they show a page not found. If its being redirected because of the user rolls thats fine I just need a way to change it so a keymaster can edit a user. I would like a moderator or keymaster to be able to block a user and edit them without having admin rights.

Hope you understand what I am trying to do. Im a pretty much new to all of this.

I tried the user role editor plugin but was unable to get it to work.

I have a another post with another issue concerning the users replies created pages I could use help on also.

I would be grateful for any help on either of these issues.

I have the same problem. Just upgraded to bbpress 2.2.2 with Pagelines 2.3.6, WP 3.4.2, and the bbpress for Pagelines plugin 1.0.6. Latest versions of everything, and all I get is a blank page: http://eversmartapp.com/forums/

bbpress worked fine before the upgrade to 2.2.2. Any thoughts on where to find help? I’d like to downgrade back to 2.1 in the meantime if possible! Thanks.

I managed to fix the issue with tags ‘br’ and ‘p’ by editing the wordpress file “kses.php” and adding ‘br’ and ‘p’ to globally supported tags.

There is still an issue with emoticons from tinymce not working… Any idea on how I can fix this one?

Once I enabled the TinyMCE visual editor, the text is stripped out of for standard users. Obviously, they are not available in the default editor either. However, what is the point of implementing the enhanced editor with all these fantastic buttons, if almost none of the html tags are enabled by default.

Also, even if I deleted the function for the editor, logged in as standard user and wrote “a”-enter-“b”-enter-“c”-enter”d”-enter-“e” – the result was “abcde”. This is just simply wrong…

ATM, the only way to sort it out is to give permission to all users to write unrestricted HTML. But apparently it is dangerous and someone could write a melicious javascript in the post.

And yeah, the smilies don’t work even for the admin…

Hi guys,

I upgraded to the latest version of bbPress and now I can’t seem to make Hidden or Private boards. When I make one and try to click on it, it cannot find the page (brings me to 404).

Could it be something wrong with my user roles?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm, if the tags are being stripped, there is a chance a plugin is doing that.

bbPress by default uses the WordPress wpautop on all content which automagically handles the paragraph tags. There isn’t anything in core that should strip tags unless those tags aren’t allowed in normal posts. What tags are being stripped? It sounds like even the base paragraph tags are being stripped, which shouldn’t be the case unless you ahve wpautop disabled via a plugin.

John James Jacoby-> Thank you so much for your piece of code! It’s so useful to have the the enhanced visual editor available in BBPress.

However, 2 issues appeared when I try to use the editor.

1. Smilies do not work

2. BBPress does not preserve and tags for normal users and therefore all the breaks are deleted and if the post is etited it just creates WALLOFTEXT…

Is there any way to fix these two issues?

I ran a test site and figured it out for you… or anyone who is having same issue.

It seems that the bbp-user-section class needs the attribute of “inline-block” in order to properly float to the right of the profile navigation. Also I had to force it to go 100% width (it picked up the 68% from somewhere else)

Use  this CSS:

#bbpress-forums .bbp-user-section {
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
}

If you have a child them, just added it to functions.php .. if you don’t, use something like “One-click Child Theme” plug in to create a child theme and then create a functions.php file and put it in there.  For those of us use not very child-theme savy, note that while the style.css in the child replaces the parent theme (hence the import rule), the function.php file in the child is run in addition to and before the parent’s function.

Hi Gang,

well…. this one through me for a loop today as well, when moving our WooThemes Canvas for bbPress & BuddyPress site for a test drive on bbPress 2.2 ( http://labsecrets.com/demo/canvas-commerce )

The individual forums would work fine, but the main forum index was rendering what looked like a post excerpt, with everything jumbled into a single paragraph.

Solution was actually rather simple. If you are using a child-theme in Canvas (you ARE using a child-theme I hope?? 😉  ) simply make a copy of the content-page.php file from parent, and put it into your child-theme folder.

Next, change the entry div as shown, to modify the current conditional check to ALSO see if you are on a bbPress page. Without this extra bit, it assumes that you want the page to show the_excerpt() on every page other than single.php …. not true. We want full content on bbPress pages as well 😉

<div class="entry">
<?php
/* If this is a bbPress page show full content not exerpt */
if ( ! is_singular() && (! is_bbPress()) ) {
the_excerpt();
} else {
the_content(__('Continue Reading &rarr;', 'woothemes') );
}
wp_link_pages( $page_link_args );
?>
</div><!-- /.entry -->

With this simple mod, all is well and now the native forums index works, and so does building a custom page with shortcode. Ta da!

@livninctry I see you are using some kind of custom registration form to register users on both sites, is this causing any roles or modifying user permissions?

For your ‘dev’ environment I would install WordPress and then bbPress and NOT installing the suffusion theme or the suffusion bbPress pack and see if everything works before adding anything else.

Kind of the same for your main site, disable ALL plugins except bbPress and check to make sure everything works, then try with the suffusion theme, check everything again, then the suffusion bbPress pack, check everything again, then each of your other plugins one by one checking everything each and everytime.

I also see that the Suffusion bbPress pack v1.01 has not been updated in a while “Last Updated: 2012-7-25” or has it been updated since reported problems 2 months ago https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-suffusion-bbpress-pack-compatibility-issues-with-latest-bbpress-212

[livninctry]

As a follow up to my post above… I tried a completely fresh install of wordpress, switched to the suffusion theme, added bbpress and added the suffusion bbpress pack.
The admin has complete control. Added a forum and a topic to test settings.
Added new user with a role of contributor for the system and participant for forum role.
Logged into the website as the new user and noticed that the only action allowed would be to create a new post. Should this user not be allowed to post new topics?
I am completely at a loss as to what I am overlooking.

I have read through everything I can find about user roles and have the latest updates installed and am still having so many problems even after trying several different role plugins. The only way it seems I can let users post new topics is to give them moderator status…. I have tried adding user roles using members and URE and nothing changes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

bbPress is stripping all paragraph formatting when using the fancy editor.

I am working with the plugin TinyMCE Advanced, I need this setting checked for posts:
“Stop removing the and tags when savings and show them in the HTML editor.”
This works just fine for posts, but when it is checked it stops paragraph formatting in the forums. When it is not selected, the forum formatting works just fine.

I really want the fancy editor on my forum, but not being able to use paragraph formatting is a huge pain… Any suggestions as to why this is happening, or how I could go about fixing it?

Latest WP and bbPress.

[Jared Atchison]

Hmm, I haven’t tested this so I can’t say, but it definitely sounds like an issue. Maybe someone else can chime in and try to duplicate it.

This is probably happening because the default WordPress search isn’t looking at information bbPress stores when it makes things as private. WordPress just grabs results from all post types that are supported, makes sure they are published, and runs with it.

This doesn’t help your current situation, but I just wanted to say the search is something we are trying to address in 2.3.

Having bbPress search results come up in the regular WordPress search is weird, and leads to problem such as this, which is why bbPress topics/replies are not searchable by default. To skirt around this problem, we are likely going to make a bbPress specific search with its own search results page. This will give us more control over how the results are returned and make sure stuff that should be hidden doesn’t show up.

No more Ultimate TinyMCE buttons in fancy editor after latest 2.2 update.

[remike]

Can someone please help me out?

The quoting function leaves me out with a huge margin before the quote! I first noticed it today and I have no idea what caused it!

I added a fancy editor a couple days age pasting a code from topic.
I also messed around with plugins GD bbPress Tools and bbPress2 BBCode trying to find the best solution for quoting.

Somehow I have now a huge margin, I can’t edit it in css – don’t know what to do!

It looks like this http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/1030/quoteproblem.png

Please, I will appreciate any suggestions

[Starejosel]

Note–it is not just Ultimate that is broken–the kitchen sink buttons also no longer work.
In addition, text pasted in from Word now has all kinds of bizarre formatting preserved.
It makes the editor pretty useless. Is there an alternative out there?

I have created a ticket in trac https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2074
If you could keep all bugs and/or feedback posted to this ticket (‘tracs’ everything in one place)

This has only beeen tested using Simple Press 5.1.4

To install download the SimplePress5.php file and upload it to bbPress in the folder /wp-content/plugins/includes/admin/converters/

Basic instructions on using any of the import tools are here (will to get these updated soon)

Sorry where does this code go?

wp-content/themes/mytheme/functions.php?

[MacItaly]

Thanks Stephen,
I’ll be glad to try your solution, also because I tried the plugin of that post and it works only partially, it imported few posts, assigning them only to admin user and other stuffs, so in my experience quite useless as is.
If you need a tester, please feel free to send your version and instruction for use to macitaly at gmail dot com.
Thanks in advance

[toemon]

Thank you for the great plug-in.
Sorry poor English, I’m Japanese.

I am creating the Japanese language file for bbpress 2.2.
However, the menu of bbPress in an Admin page is not translated.

In the debugger’s test：
register_post_types() will be called before the load_textdomain().
Therefore, register_post_types() can’t translate $post_type[‘labels’] definitely.

Thanks toemon.

[Stephen Edgar]

I was doing the odd tweak and bug fix with the ‘other’ importers for bbPress and whilst at it I decided to have a go at Simple Press 5.1.4, I’ll upload it tomorrow (just need to test a couple more bits first) and if you could give it some testing that would be greatly appreciated.

[Stephen Edgar]

I cannot reproduce this, what versions of bbPress & WordPress are you using?

What are the permalinks?
– ‘TEST’ /forum/test/
– ‘FORUM’ /forum/test/forum/
