I’m using bbpress 1.1. I want to get the author profile link in the front page inside the latest topics loop. I’m using topic_author(); but it returns only the author name, not the profile link.
Following returns the profile link in the single post, but it does not display in the frontpage. post_author_title_link();
Please help.

injua:

[as of bbp 2.1] the hookable test for Akismet — bbp_is_akismet_active()— is in bbp-core-options.php @341.

Have you tried attaching a filter to force a FALSE return when your user is signed in?

It follows best practice so I don’t see why it wouldn’t work?

[Prometheus Fire]

okay, I’ll dig in this week on a test install and see if I can track down the conflict.

There have been some changes in the repository to shift the “latest” to the plugin branche, so the links probably got broken there.

You can find the 1.1 branche here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/1.1.

Hi,

Ever since updating to the latest bbpress plugin when users or admins try to post a new topic or reply to a topic we get the error “Slow down; you move too fast.” I’ve looked at other posts on this forum having the same issue but did not find anything that helped me.

Also this problem happens any time anyone posts. It is not the result of someone trying to post too much too quickly. Throttle time is set for 10 seconds. And when I try to change the throttle time it reverts back to 10 seconds. Maybe that’s a clue as to what the problem is?

Just to sum up:
The issue exists for all users and admins.
The issue happens for all posts – a person cannot be throttled because they haven’t succeeded in making one post.
The problem happened only after updating bbpress but not before.

Thanks in advance for your help.

@Erlend is chrome 21 a beta version? If it is then I won’t be testing on that until it is fully released.

@Jaredatch I did a lot of customization, but the big thing I did was setup my own function inside the bbpress_functions.php – It is basically the same as the bbp_list_forums but it has a flag for freshness_block which then calls my last_poster block function.

It is pretty awesome, I could put something up even more detailed if people would like.

This post is available for me, logged in as administrator but not as a non-registered user

http://tyrell-corporation.pp.se/forum/topic/this-is-just-a-test/

If you check out the subforum it tells you there is one post and also that there is no posts.

Shouldn’t the topic in te url be the sub-forum title btw?

Hi everyone

I used to have SMF installed (still does, closed it for “maintenance”). Installed the latest bbPress and WordPress 3.4.1

The forum seems to work fine, I cna post and see all posts when Im logged in as the administrator. I created a new common user and created a post but when not logged in or logged in as the new user (test) the post is gone (404. The requested page was not found).

I also have the stream as a widget and I can see the post and read it when Im logged in as admin but otherwise it’s gone.

I have been fiddling some with the slug names but I cannot see how that would mess things up (Forums base = forum and Forum slug = forums). I’d like to have the forum url to be mysite.pp.se/forum (tyrell-corporation.pp.se is my domain).

All help is appreciated

It has done this to my site also. After I upgraded from 2.0.3 to 2.1 I couldn’t update my activity streams, filter or find members. Rolled it back and it fixed the problem.

I am running Buddypress v1.5.6 and WP3.4.1 on a Genesis powered site with all the latest plugin versions.

Very strange!

[Bookkus]

It’s just the shortcode forum when I post it into a page: http://www.bookkus.com/test-forum/

If I use the other forum it looks like this: http://www.bookkus.com/forums-2/

[Lynq]

To get the latest discussions on my forum I added it into the top of loop-forums.php this could be a good place along with loop-topics.php

good luck!

[Bookkus]

I am having some trouble with the layout of my forum. Once I add the shortcode to a new page the layout goes very strange. I have tried going to full-width with no result.
I am using custom community theme. My buddypress, wordpress, and bbpress are fully updated.

Thanks in advance for your help.

[DNBrawler]

Still won’t work.

I went back to the twentyten theme for further testing and found that after removing the entire bbpress-functions file the quoting feature still worked. So my problem from what I perceive isn’t in the functions? Now I’m confused.
I’m going to take a fresh GD BBpress tools plugin download again and see if that works.

[AAShepAA]

I am owner/Admin, but I cannot post a topic. bbPress says I do not have permission to do so. I also signed in as a test user and still not able to post.

I have made sure I turned off all plugins to test. Then turned back on only a few. I have checked and made sure that “Member” is the default “registered user” and the the Member profile had post topic capabilities still no go..

I switched to default 2010 theme ands still a no go – I am in but forum says I am logged out. In each theme – the login does not show me as Admin or Owner.

My traffic has slowed way down because of this and I just found it! Still have lots of people signing up but it appears that no one can post. I suspect user roles issue, but I have changed everyone to “Member” and still a no go.

I am desperate! Any help is appreciated. Shep

Forum is at http://www.stratoliner.me

HI,

My my name is E.J. and I’m enjoying your product!

After updating to that latest version of WordPress and bbPress, I began to experience truncations in of replies to the topic threads in my forums. Everything was working well before the upgrades but now it appears that it’s not calling the proper CSS styles to the reply areas after the initial post, perhaps there’s a conflict with the theme styles. . . I’m not sure.

If there’s any advice you can offer I would greatly appreciate it.

…………………………….

Here are the stats to my site::

WordPress: 3.4.1

bbPress: 2.1 – bbPres Default -/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat

(Theme) Custom Community: 1.819.1 by Themekraft

…………………………….

You can see an example here:

Thank you for your time!

Yesterday I offered to help write some copy for bbPress.org, so this is the first of many such posts in a series of sorts as I work my way through the pages and contents in question.

Today I’ve been looking at the examples page. This page is not linked to yet, but we’ll sort that out once we’re happy with the page itself.

Also, down the line bbPress should simply have its own “flavor” on the WordPress Showcase site, coupled with a custom page on bbpress.org that pulls information from there, much like how the BuddyPress showcase probably already works. But since that might take a while (all I know is it’s beyond my capabilities) I figured a static page would serve as a good substitute in the meantime.

Styling

I realized that a common question that’s going to be popping up as I work on these pages is “Changes to bbpress.org vs Changes to my article formatting“. So when I give this feedback, know that I probably have a reasonable workaround for it in mind already if you don’t agree with the proposed changes.

• Page headers – Either make them take charge of the page (more prominent than h1) or don’t show them at all. One of my favorite examples of a beautifully dominant page title is WooThemes’ Optimize.
• On my test site (also where my images are currently loaded from because I don’t have that privilege here yet) I used captions to achieve some simple compartmentalization. It seems the bbpress.org theme doesn’t have any styling for captions yet. Furthermore, on hover they expand slightly instead of highlighting in some other way (e.g. a shadow overlay), making the content below shift downwards slightly, which looks weird.
• The showcase codex page should be retired.

Your input is most welcome, including my choice of “featured” items.

I think the difficult part about sidebars is knowing what the sidebar is called or what ID it is.

You could probably add this into your functions file if you know the id of the sidebar you want to hide, I haven’t tested it though.

Worth a shot!

It looks like this is my solo topic.:-) So I continue contributing. Here is my progress in resolving the isue described above.

I have created bbpress-extras directory in MYTHEME directory. All files from /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/extras were copied into this directory. Than I edited bbpress-functions.php (copied to MYTHEME directory). Following code looks to be promising

function bbpress_custom_template() {
if ( is_bbpress() ) {
require_once ( 'bbpress-extras/page-front-forums.php');
exit;   
}
}
add_action('template_redirect', 'bbpress_custom_template');

This is the result: http://poradci-sobe.cz/forums/

This looks like this is the way how my custom template files can be stopped to be ignored by bbpress. At least the first file I am testing – page-front-forums.php. I will try to make the condition more precize and to create special condition for each template file I want to use.

Does anybody know, why this approach creates as many forum lists as the number of forum is?? Each forum lists is the same except forum name is different. I would expect there will be only one forum lists without any name.

I am looking for JJJs answer saying “this is a very poor solution”. I am trying my best. Sorry for that.:-)

hi,

i’ve just installed bbpress 2.1 on a test site and am loving it. great job and many thanks to all, especially (of course) jjj.

so far the new theme compatibility seems to be working just fine (and MUCH easier to set up) with my simple twentyten child theme.

however, there are very weird problems with the mobile theme from the wptouch pro plugin (for example, with wptouch pro switched on, the blog is displaying forum topic titles without any blog or forum content). what makes this especially weird is that i did have wptouch pro working with bbpress 2.0.

i’ve asked for help on the bravenewcode support forum, but they don’t offer official support for wptouch with bbpress (although, as per usual, emilio is willing to a look)…. so i thought i’d ask here too as wptouch mobile theme plugin might be something of interest to bbpress users and some of you may have a suggestion.

thanks for any ideas to try…;

[John James Jacoby]

John, my site was running fine. The only thing I did was pdated bbPress and now the whole site is down. I am at a loss as to where to start looking. I am using a child theme.

Could be anything. Plugin conflict, theme issue, etc… Will need tons more information. I’d suggest reverting bbPress back to an old version if it’s critical to get your site back up immediately, and doing a bit of testing to figure out what the incompatibility is before updating.

If it’s a bbPress bug, clearly we want to fix it so no one has the same issue in the future.

[Martin]

Oh power to you for being so incredibly helpful, Lynq.
I tested it out on my local machine and that works beautifully – THANK YOU!

Interestingly enough, all that other stuff didn’t make much difference, other than turn the brackets and commas that are the counts after the sub-forums into numbers. I reverted back to the default loop-single-forum.php to return to the correctly format.

Just waiting for the cache CSS to deploy but it is going to work now.
You’ve been extremely patient and instructive so again, heaps of praise to you, mate.

[Anonymous User 5853594]

Nice job on the upgrade JJJ!
I like the new look of the site and forums, and I agree with Erlend to include the latest blogpost on the frontpage.
