How to make from WP Editor level users Moderators for BBpress? Srsly I can not find this option. Only to switch from Editor to Moderator in Profile editing.

all latest versions.

[fripp]

Tanya, I’m in! It’s the only feature I’ve missed since converting to bbpress from SMF.

But it is the most important, I think. And so do the users in my forum as well. It is the easiest way to keep updated.

Most users want a quick overview of what has been going on. And not just the latest postings, but the postings they have not yet read.

Let’s do this!

What i’m experiencing was even before I installed bbPress Moderation. When I installed bbPress alone i still needed to approve all the posts, when the problem persisted then I installed the bbPress Moderation just to see if it allowed what it said, which is after one time approved I wouldn’t have to approve again, but it never fixed the problem, I still had to approve every post So I did what you said and disabled the bbPress Moderation and I’m still getting the same problem, with or without the plugin all posts goes to ‘Pending’ and I have to approve every single one of them which gets really annoying. I disabled bbPress and re-enabled it and still nothing. I even found a function that I tested on functions.php, the function has this included thinking it would force the users capability to publish.

$role = get_role( 'subscriber' ); // gets the editor role
$role -> add_cap( 'publish_topics' ); //-> is actually greater than symbol, this forum is not showing it

but that didn’t work, i feel like there’s an option that never got set in my database, i even restored the plugin and its not working. I just don’t understand why its not working for me, or nothing is being set in capability mapping

Hi I have not built the site as of yet I do have several domains i use to build and test stuff though on our server.

Scenario: I build a WPMU site on the main domain then I add a sub-folder for bbpress is there a way / or thread here explaining how I can have separate databases and one login for both sites? I would like to keep the databases separated so as we grow and I need to separate things it would simplify things as far as moving and using a couple different servers.

So WP-1 with MU and / subfolder WP-2 with bbpress / 2 databases on the same account, one login for both.

I have to say this it took two weeks to figure it all out. But bbpress is prety awesome even after over 10 years of phpbb, I think you have something awesome here, Thanks!

One more thing, is there a way to set the notify tic box to “auto notify” and tic of you don’t want notified?
Thanks again!

Any fixes for known issue have all been released with bbPress 2.1.2

Why arnt you running the latest versions WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress?

[Stephen Edgar]

If you are using the latest bbPress Plugin version 2.1x, if so your members/users should see these on their profile page http://example.com/forums/users/username

[Stephen Edgar]

I started to write some doc’s but like you got confused pretty quickly with all the different info available. Did you see the 2.1 install info here?

I’ll do some testing and and fix up the docs, once completed it should be available here:
https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/ ‎

Hello.

My forum was fine translated to Danish before updating to the latest version of bbPress, 2.1.2. But now I cannot seem to figure out how to do the translation? Do I have to put the .po file elsewhere?

What is exactly the procedure for uploading and changing the language of bbPress? Different topics say different things.

Found the .po file here: http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/da/default

[sn07]

Thanks netweb for creating the ticket.

Lynq – thanks for the code for the latest posts. Did you create a new php file with this code or put it in an existing file?

[James Thomson]

UPDATE: I have now upgraded to the latest version, v2.1.2 and Buddypress v1.5.7 but still get the same error – every status update I try to make shows up as a single ‘0’ character in the stream.

So how can I roll back bbPress please?

[erobertwald]

I am pulling my hair out on this. I have tried getting bbPress to work with a WordPress site using a custom theme and evidently I’m missing something because it just isn’t happening. Here’s what I’ve done based on what I could find for instructions so far:

• I installed and activated the plugin through the wordpress admin.
• I created a test forum and a test topic through the wordpress admin.
• I created a child theme folder, named the same as the primary theme appended with ‘-child’.
• I copied the contents of the wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-twentyten into the child theme folder.
• I updated the style.css file ‘Template:’ line to refer to the parent theme.
• I added ‘add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );’ to the main theme’s functions.php.

When I go to the forum via http://www.carolina-business.org/forums/, I get a page that spits out a section titled with the most recent post title and a huge amount of blank space with the forum list at the bottom of the section. This is followed by a section for every other post on the site, each of these containing the forum list.

When I go to the forum via http://www.carolina-business.org/forums/forum/test-forum-1, I get another page that shows all of the posts in the site. I get the same result via http://www.carolina-business.org/forums/topic/test-topic-1/.

What I’m trying to achieve is for the forum to appear in the content area of the site, within one of the content frames (the white box with the green header and gray border.)

Can anyone tell me what I am doing incorrectly/not doing? Thanks!

You could try something like this, but note I haven’t thoroughly tested it yet. http://pastebin.com/NC8JB4hV

By default you see only the ‘Red X’ for both favorites and subscribed topics on your user profile page eg. /forums/users/username/

Are you using the latest version v2.1.1 and WordPress 3.41?

[Chris A. a11n]

I’m working with bbPress 2.1 and bbp-theme-compat and some weird stuff is happening with the user profile pages. If I view the profile page of an author or contributor I’m getting the post thumbnail of that user’s latest post at the top of the profile. I’m also getting pagination at the bottom of the profile for some users.

To further this, I can’t quite find the template file that is being used to generate this page. I would assume it’s using: bbp-theme-compat\extras\single-user.php but within this file is a div with the css class “bbp-single-user”. When searching the source of the outputted profile page I can’t find that class anywhere.

So I think it is a permalink issue but I am not sure. I am developing a theme framework and I want to integrate bbpress with it and thus i was testing bbpres default installation. How ever going to site/forums/forum/test gives me a 404 error. even site/forums gives me a 404 – the theme throws the 404 –

Can any one give me any ideas as to how to fix this? My permal link structure is

/%category%/%postname%/

[varsitysmack]

I was able to get this to work using a custom page.php file, some sql to pull the data and a truncate function to minimize the number of characters replied. You can view the result of my work at: dev [dot] silverdoctors [dot] com/topic/testing-topic/.

The final thing that would be really cool is to have the ability to have a jquery loader that when a button is clicked, would load, lets say, 10 more recent site-wide forum replies. Or even better yet, a jquery function designed to automatically load new content at the bottom of the screen (by appending to a DOM element) when the user scrolls beyond the element, much like Facebook does with their status updates.

Do you know if anyone has ever done something like this with bbPress? Would you be able to guide me as I go through with this next step of adding the jquery?

[aaclayton]

Hey everyone,

Unfortunately I’m having another minor hiccup in my bbPress 2.1 implementation. I’ve done some fairly heavy modifying of bbpress user profile pages, and somewhere along the line I have induced wordpress to flag profiles as error-404.

My site homepage is http://tamrielfoundry.com, which can be accessed using username=test and password=test.

My own user profile page http://tamrielfoundry.com/users/atropos/ works just fine, no 404.

A different user (who has not made any posts, which could be the cause) gets error-404 as a class in the body declaration. http://tamrielfoundry.com/users/blade/

Regardless, the fact that this content is getting flagged as 404 doesn’t seem to affect the page actually displaying the relevant content, however obviously it would be preferable if I can get the site to recognize user pages for existing users as non-404.

Let me know if I can provide any relevant info, any help would be greatly appreciated.

[aaclayton]

I am still having this issue, unfortunately. Although I worked out enough of the technical details of bbPress 2.1 to port the plugin/templates/css over to the live (development) site.

If it would be helpful to see what I’m talking about you can access http://tamrielfoundry.com with username: test, password: test.

The bbpress CSS + some other scripts are being loaded in the head site-wide, and I can’t figure out the correct conditional syntax to remove them unless is_bbpress() is true.

I’m using BuddyPress on a MU environment.

Originally I installed forum in a per group mode. I found the topic organization to be confusing in the group mode, and so now I would like to reinstall the forum with the site-wide option. How do I do this?

I’ve tried to use the graphic interface to uninstall groups and install sitewide – but that didnt work, the group forum would continued to get re-enabled.

So here is what I’ve done so far:

1) I’ve deleted from the database all the tables related to the bbpress.
2) I’ve deleted the bb-config from the root.
3) I’ve edited the group-metadata and group tables to remove references to forum.
4) I’ve deleted the bbpress plugin from the file system.
5) I’ve edited the Settings/Forums to not use groups.

So now after trying to purge all remnants of the forum and then trying to reinstall it – I no longer have a functional forum.

In BuddyPres/Forums, I see the button that says “install site-wide forum” but when I click on it I see a message that the latest version is already installed.

When I try to view my forum, I get a blank page:

http://bhaktiwriters.staging.wpengine.com/forums/forum/bhakti-writers-forum/

When I try to view a new topic, I get the following error:

http://bhaktiwriters.staging.wpengine.com/forums/topic/test-topic/

“Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_get_id_from_slug() in /nas/wp/www/staging/bhaktiwriters/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-functions.php on line 137″

I’m playing with this on a staging site, so I can demolish everything and start from the point of a working group-forum.

So, any idea how I can convert from group-forum to site-wide-forum? I don’t care about loosing data.

Thanks!

wordpress latest
buddypress latest
bbpress latest

I use bbpress for site wide forums and for buddypress group forums. It works fine. Didnt install buddypress’s tweaked version.

I set the number for both topics and replies at 5. But cant navigate to the rest of the topic list and replies.

Hi. It’s been less than a day, on a weekend. I kindly ask that you please dial back your expectations.

That said, I can’t duplicate what you’re experiencing, and it would be a great help to have more information to assist you. What theme are you using? Did you customize it? What plugins are you using? Have you tried disabling them to see if there is a conflict?

Pagination, and adjusting the values, works fine. I’ve set them to ‘5’ at testbp.org so you can see for yourself:

3.4.1 + 2.1 Hi, not sure if this is a bug or feature but when a user is creating a new topic the post does not show up aferwards … only for the admin. So this seems a right problem but I test it with all set to public. When the creator clicks on edit the post content shows up again … wired.

UAM – user access manager plugin deactivated and problem gone but that is not a solution. Any idea how to fix it?

Why is the topic body missing on the single topic view for all but the admin??? Please help.

Thanks and cheers, alex

First you set the posts globally to 15, as suggested above.

Then you will need to setup a custom list for the front page. Is it the latest 5 topics you want on the front page? If so you could do something like this.

[atomnet]

The latest bbpress topic/reply appear as the main content of your homepage?

Yes 🙂
