very strange…not sure I’m going to be much use – I think you into lots of try this/try that testing

Hope you figure it out, and if you do, please post the solution here – that will help others who google it as a question later !

Quick update: Tested a bit more. I’ve renamed the file that it is mistakenly using several times but it doesn’t help, bbPress uses that same file no matter what. Could it be something in the file itself that telling bbPress to use it?

Sorry for the basic questions. I thought this would be relatively simple – just rename the template I wanted to use to bbpress.php and move it to the correct folder. Not sure what to do! Thanks for the help

Hi,

https://jwfsanctuary.club and the widget on the side to the latest forum posts is a good example, thanks for taking a look. Thanks so much.

[Perrorist]

I’m now wondering if this could be a cookie issue. Logging in as a test user has been tried by one user, who said it worked. He then logged out and back in as the test user, and it still worked. However, when he went back in as himself and logged out, then back in as the test user, the Edit button had gone.

[Perrorist]

I tried the permalink idea. No joy. This has me completely baffled. I’ll set up a test user for the users to log on to and ask if they can see the Visual Editor. If they can, I shall propose creating new accounts for them.

Hi thanks for your reply, that’s a big undertaking for my site given the amount of plugins, and combinations of plugins that may be conflicting with bbpress. I tried another theme, that seemed to work a little better, so am guessing it could be a theme conflict with bbpress.

I was more after guidelines of things that could go wrong to look out for, am guessing it uses a tags with an id to jump to the relevant post?

I think I’ll wait until I get a staging setup done, so I can test things on a non live site.

[Robin W]

hmm, apart from the standard elimination tests below, I can’t think of anything obvious

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

[Perrorist]

Thanks, Robin. When I log in as him, I don’t see the Edit button on his post either.

You say it’s the server, but in what way could the server prevent that feature from working? It did work before and I have moved my account to a new hosting service. However, I can’t understand why it works for my test user account which is also on the same server.

[Robin W]

It could be a theme or plugin issue

[Robin W]

ok, so you need to define it down to server or client

If you log in as test – it works – yes?
If so log in as him and see if that works.

If it does then it is his PC

If it doesn’t then it is server.

[Perrorist]

A user who has Editor role and is set to see the visual editor cannot see it. However, a test user I set up with identical settings can. The user claims to have seen it a few days ago. I’ve had him clear cache and reboot, but with no luck. Another user says she has the same problem.

Any idea where the problem might lie?

Hi,
Here are the ones that are tied to email/Buddypress/BBPress. I’m wondering–do new topic notifications work for approved topics on a clean BBPress install? I don’t think I can disable many plugins on this site since it’s getting a lot of traffic, but I could probably test it out on a different live site. I think it would have to be a live site or at least have an SMTP provider set up for the notification emails to go out.

Plugins
1. Buddypress

2. AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions (added because the default method of BCC’ing all subscribers created too many recipients for our SMTP provider)

3. bbP Toolkit

4. BP Profile Search

5. BBPress Moderation Tools (allows us to put all new topics into moderation, seems to use default BBPress actions for moderation)

6. Fix Forum Emails (fixes issue where HTML tags/entities show up in notification emails: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2865)

7. WordPress Mail Queue (queues/chunks all mail from wp_mail so we don’t go over SMTP provider limits)

8. Wordfence Security

Someone can send me the last tapatalk plugin to test it on my forum?

Since it is not supported I cannot find it on the web.

[gbbuggs]

Hello,

My search box is searching the entire website and not just the forums, topics, etc. I also was looking for a geo-specific search for bbpress. The one I found is outdated and nonworking. Could you help? I am in strong belief that it was my theme, but when tested on another theme, but search box wouldn’t even allow me to click into it. Please advise. I have the service provider theme.

I am trying to copy my bbPress forum with all content to my test site using WP export import.
The forum content is not visible on the new site!
I have tried the repair tools included i bbPress, with no success.

Looking at the admin/topic page i can see all the posts and under subject “Forum” it says “(no forum)”
When I edit a post by selecting a forum, that post shows up.
Now how do I make a mass edit of the field forum ???
In admin/answers it shows the number of answers but no answers are listed.

regards
John Eistrøm

[Robin W]

ok, it’s maybe a clash of terms being used on your site – ie something else is using search

As a test change the slug to say ‘find’ and see if it works then.#

We can then narrow down the issue

[Robin W]

I’d do two checks

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

[Robin W]

ok, I’ve just loaded the code below (same as in the post above) to my test site and it enables the tinymce editor on my test site

//editor bbpress
function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    $args['teeny'] = false;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

//clean html when copy and paste into forum
function bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text( $plugins = array() ) {
    $plugins[] = 'paste';
    return $plugins;

}
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_tiny_mce_plugins’, ‘bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text’ );

So I suggest you start by doing some further testing

Themes

The recent replies widget should not be used.

as per

dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>widget warning !

you should use (PG) Recent Replies or (PG) Latest Activity widget

[Josh Campbell]

Just tested this out on a newer theme and the css should look like this:

.bbpress div#primary.content-area {
    margin: 0 auto;
    max-width: 980px;
    width: 100%;
}

Also, you can now just add this to Appearance > Edit CSS > Additional CSS.

[lantaarntje]

The converter won’t start? I try to make a test conversion from phpbb3 3.2 but nothing happens when i click start 😮

[xfallseane]

I have update my css with your code but don’t work, the profil picture is almost good !

I have test different code the margin-left for reply-content is the problem maybe no ?

Using Poedit to translate
I have managed to translate most strings but I have the string “on” in english on which appears on line 1186 in widgets.php

also in po file tried translating string and replacing “on” with “test” this didnt work either.

I cant seem to apply any css on this either

hmm, not suer why your bbpress.css file is in wp-content/plugins/templates rather than wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates – have you altered this?

In essence you want to set

.bbp-reply-author width :100% ;
.bbp-reply-content margin : 0px;

This will force the content to the next line, and move it to the start of that line.

I’d also add

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author img.avatar {
position: relative;
}

so you’d end up with (untested)

@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {

.bbp-reply-author  {
width :100% ;
}
.bbp-reply-content {
margin : 0px;
}

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author img.avatar {
	position: relative;
	}

}
