Hi Sydney,
I’ve beendoing extensive testing this week to prepare anupdate to the video, and find I get similar results regarding group forums. I will be releasing my results and suggestions in a new video here ASAP.
In the meantime, I suggest you consider leaving legacy group forums “as is” for now.
Hello. I’d like to allow anonymous posting, but disable it in specific forums. Here’s what I have so far:
function specific_anonymous_bbp() {
if (is_post('XXX')) {
return apply_filters( 'bbp_allow_anonymous', 0)
}
}
add_action( 'plugins_loaded' , 'specific_anonymous_bbp' );
I’ve tried about a thousand different combinations (the above being the latest) with no luck. I found the bbp_allow_anonymous hook looking through the core files, but I’m not sure how to disallow it for specific posts. I also tried making form-anonymous.php conditional based on post ID, which worked, but caused other issues. Any ideas?
Same problem here. I installed on a fresh WP install, no plug-ins for conflicts and no side Admin buttons. I do have the Settings, Tools but no Forums, Topics and Replies.I’ve uninstalled and re-installed but nada.
I set up a test WP on the same host (most likely a different shared server) and installed and everything works fine. Same WP instance, no additional plug-ins etc.
Yeah I’d reinstall the latest version. Something is definitely screwy.
I have the same problem. Hidden and Private forums are not available for any users. (got 404) If I make them public(as a test) they are available.
This happen after update.
UPDATE: “Repair Forums” -> “Remap existing users to default forum roles” solved the problem.
Haha… I started reading this and was about ready to hit ‘spam’… Oh wait… NOT SPAM 🙂
Thanks for this and it is a known issue https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1905
It also has a patch that needs testing if you would like to give it some testing 🙂
If you could add any feedback you have to the ticket above it would be greatly appreciated 🙂
First let me say I am not an idiot (HA) but I cannot figure this out. I am wondering if there is a place on this site that explains how to setup the forums. Because right now I go in and create a new forum and this is the link I get:
http://test1.strosgirldesigns.com/forums/forum/flivin-2/ instead of just this: http://test1.strosgirldesigns.com/forums/
I am sure there are directions and I am just missing them which is quite possible after designing this site.
Thanks
@rbrightly As per this link, the latest version of the Pagelines Plugin is 2.0.2.
The last version is 2.0.2 , you should update it from my plugins section in the pagelines store inside the wordpress admin panel
If you do want to revert to a previous version you can find them here.
Hi,
I just want to note that since 2.0.3 release of bbPress (that’s when I actually started using the plugin) every time I update to the latest version I get the 500 server error, and the problem always gets resolved by rolling back to the the version that worked or when I overwrite the child theme I created with bbPress in the Theme folder with the latest theme in the bbPress update.
Is this a known issue or it is just only me? There anything I have to change in the child theme before updating to the latest bbPress?
Thanks,
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.
http://www.mohneyswebdesigns.com/billsdirtlatemodels
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 →', '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!
See: http://labsecrets.com/demo/canvas-commerce/forums/
@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
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.
original site:
http://dev.hoaconnections.com/venturahoa/
fresh install:
http://dev.hoaconnections.com/ventura/
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.
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.
