Its never a good idea to modify the bbPress core file as any changes you make will be lost when bbPress is updated, instead add this code to your themes functions.php.

The code is here https://gist.github.com/3797945

Hi,

How can I remove the blue box that says “This forum contains 1 topic, and was last updated by admin 15 hours, 5 minutes ago.”, etc., using my theme? From what I can see, the code for that is in the wp-content\plugins\bbpress\bbp-includes\bbp-forum-template.php file. How can I override that? Or do I just need to directly edit it?

Thanks.

[Stephen Edgar]

Agreed, looking good @johnjamesjacoby

Testing, testing. 1, 2, 3. Thanks @johnjamesjacoby!

I did it all by hand. Registration to the site is closed.
And it worked fine for almost a year, until recently I discovered this. Probably I updated something, but sadly I can;t remember what and when this problem exactly started…

Hi!

I was just wondering if there was any way to edit old forum posts. I recently deleted my Photobucket account so all the photos that I had linked in my forum thread have been broken. I would like to edit the posts to include updated photo links. If editing old posts is not possible, would there be a way to delete the entire thread and create a new one with the updated photo links?

The forum I have in question is called The Daily Kitten, but it is powered by bbPress, so I figured I’d be able to get some input here as well. I was also not able to find an administrator of The Daily Kitten forum.

Please advise. Thanks!

Someone please help!! I have wordpress 3.41 and I updated my buddypress to 1.6. When I did this its messing with my other widgets!! They will not move, but when I de-active the buddypress 1.6 plugin then my other widgets starts to work. Im also getting this message in the back office as well: Don’t worry! We’ve moved the BuddyPress options into more convenient and easier to find locations. You’re seeing this page because you are running a legacy BuddyPress plugin which has not been updated.

So can anyone help me with this??!!

[nobugames]

I already searched this forum and quite a few people had a similar problem about 6 months ago. My case is a bit different though.

I’m running the latest version of bbPress on the latest version of WordPress.

The created forums are all open and public.

When I as an admin user create new topics in any forum, I get the following result on any of these forum pages:

> This forum contains X topics, and was last updated by Admin Y hour,
> Z minutes ago.
>
> Oh bother! No topics were found here!

The topics list simply does not show up for me as a creator of these topics. When logged in as a subscriber, everything shows fine though.

My list of plugins is:

bbPress, Black Studio TinyMCE Widget, Manage Upload Types, Polylang, User Access Manager, WordPress HTTPS, wp-jquery-lightbox, wpsc Support Tickets, WP SlimStat

The used theme is:

EvoLve by Theme4Press

Hey guys,
So what I have done so far is create a forum. I made the parent forum and the category works perfectly for it. However I want to make a sticky that goes at the top that stays there that explains how the forums work etc. Only I can’t because it’s a category. Any workarounds? People can’t be allowed to post in the parent forum so. Also, I want to know how to get it so that the highest rated forums are the ones that appear at the top, like maybe have a rating on each one you can click on in the forum at the bottom of each post?

My wordpress is the newest one out, 3.4.2 and the bbpress is the most updated one.

Thanks – Zach

[Pippin Williamson]

Forum topics will not (yet) look any different when they are marked as read / unread, except for the link that lets you mark them as read/ unread.

Do the topics remember the read status when you click the links?

I just updated the github version with some ajax that will automatically mark topics as read after you have viewed them for at least 10 seconds.

[castresana]

Thanks for the quick reply!

I just updated the bbPress to 1.1 version (last one available in Legacy).

After upgrading bbPress1 I tryed to import it from bbPress2.1.2 and this time, the importer didn’t give me any errors, but the importation didn’t go right.

The result is having the forums okay but in the transition the posts and replies are mixted up.
It looks like the script has converted all the replies into new posts, and actually, it has not maintained the post/reply respective users, now all of the posts and even the replies of the original post (that now are new posts as well, not considered as reply), are written by first post user.

So if we go to http://elanillounico.com/v5/foro/topic.php?id=9454#post-312800
(this is the original forum, not it’s a bit mixted up, it’s the template),

Anyway, in the lopic we saw, the user Aragorn_II began a topic and Wolfimbul replied and some other users as well.

When we go to but that thread in the new forum for example, you have this forum view:

So when you are entering first post available on the list, it is the original topic:

And when you enter the second post available, you see the first reply, and it is written by Aragorn_II but it should be written by Wolfimbul.

So, in the end, I do not know what I am doing wrong, any ideas?

Thank you!

@HansRuedi Keller:
These strings are from the template files for bbPress that this theme as bundled – so you need to contact the theme author that he updates his stuff – obviously he has not updated to 2.1+ compatibility yet.

You can also update this yourself:
1st alternative: delete the packaged bbPress template files from the theme and use bbPress “Theme Compat” (in bbPress settings)
2nd alternative: edit the template files yourself, use the theme’s textdomain for all strings and make your own translations/language files then.

This should work then.

@netweb:
User @HansRuedi Keller is already aware of this using/installing stuff 🙂

Thanks, Dave 🙂

Hi, I can help you with this. I am doing the same and needed to figure it out as well. Hopefully they’ll add this in updated versions… Seems like a basic feature that can add awesome visual option via CSS. Anyways, I will assume you know a bit of CSS. For the PHP, I recommend that you create a folder “bbpress” inside your WP theme folder, i.e. wp-content/themes/yourtheme/bbpress Then go to /plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/bbpress and copy/paste the file “loop-single-reply.php” to your newly created bbpress folder from above. What this does is now make bbPress use that file instead of the default one. Now you can make changes to it and not worry about updates to bbPress overwriting your changes. On line ~ 30, you’ll see an opening DIV with id=”post-*some php”…

On the next line, enter this:

$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $reply_id );
$abc_role = bbp_get_user_display_role( bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id ) );


Then the next line that’s already there should be:

div class="bbp-reply-author"

Turn it into this:

div class="bbp-reply-author ?php echo $abc_role ?>"

Add the bracket < before the first ?php in that above statment… I dont know why its not letting me show it.

And there you have it. The CSS class name will now contain the verbatim user role… This means that "Key Master" will actually be in the class.. No problem, just use:

div.Key { color: #abc }

to target the admin. Sure, “Master” will be in there but, but it’ll be taken as 2 different classes, “Key” and “Master”. With additional pvp, you could turn it into “keymaster” but its not necessary for 99.9% of applications and would just run more PHP. I’m literally doing this right now, so i havent checked other template files, but it’s the same thing.. So for instance, if you want to change the css in the index for only admins, to have lets say a special color link, find the template file that displays the index, add that same snippet in, and it will work the same. have fun. 🙂

Thank you Lanod..

However, I have tried resetting the permalinks multiple times now and it doesn’t fix the problem. I can still see posts being updated if posted through the dashboard, and you can read those – you just don’t see the forums..

[hixen]

Hi, don’t know if this is a bug or just my doing it wrong. I have added a twitter and a facebook field to my user details, and removed the yim, aim and jabber fields. I’m also using the events manager plugin, who have added a Phone field to my user details. So when trying to edit my user details, front end with bbpress (form-user-edit.php) my user_contactmethods dosen’t get updated. This is the code i used:
add_action(‘roots_footer’, ‘roots_google_analytics’);
add_filter( ‘user_contactmethods’, ‘my_user_contactmethods’ );

function my_user_contactmethods( $user_contactmethods ) {
    unset($user_contactmethods['yim']);
    unset($user_contactmethods['aim']);
    unset($user_contactmethods['jabber']);
    $user_contactmethods['twitter'] = 'Twitter';
    $user_contactmethods['facebook'] = 'Facebook';
    return $user_contactmethods;
}
 This is the code that shows my stuff front end (well it's your code, from form-user-edit.php) 

http://pastebin.com/iYV5H6jv My problem is that it doesn’t output any values front end, but if I type something and press the update button, it gets updated backend, but still it turns blank front end. Hope you guys understand, any help, feedback or ideas is much appreciated.

Once/if/when the following plugin is updated to support bbPress 2.1x (it is currently broken) it should do what you are looking for:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-threaded-replies/

That’s the only option I can suggest at the moment

[Stephen Edgar]

I think you may need to wait for the plugin to be updated to work with bbPress 2.1x

Hi,
We are having this same problem and I need your help!

wp 3.4.1, bbpress 2.1.2, Elegant Themes

When I’m logged in as admin, I can see all topics and all replies in the forum.

When I’m logged into the website (front-end) as a user of the website, I can ONLY see the second and on replies – the original entry/post is missing.

We have s2member, but this problem used to NOT exist, and there haven’t been any updates to s2member. I think the only thing I’ve done is update bbpress from 2.? to 2.1.1. I updated 2.1.1 to 2.1.2 today to see if it’d help and it didn’t. I hate that I can’t be more specific.

But basically, it seems to be when I’m logged in as a user of the website, I can only see replies and not the original post.
I’d greatly appreciate any help, I’m quit unsure what to try next!

[tommycopeland]

Hey guys, using most updated WP and BP files. I’ve got this code I’m working with: But stringing together the action and max parameters is for some reason not working. The updates work, but it’s not being limited to 1. Any help is appreciated! Thanks! T

[jshultz]

Well this is the way I ended up doing it. I created a new div above the table that lists the topics and then did me up some jquery:

var rows = $('table.bbp-topics').find('tr.super-sticky');

        rows.each(function(index) {
            var headhref = $('a.bbp-topic-permalink', this).attr('href');
            var headline = $('a.bbp-topic-permalink', this).html();
            var excerpt = $('.excerpt', this).text();
            var author = $('a.bbp-author-name', this).html();
            var photo = $('a.bbp-author-avatar > img', this).attr('src');
            var replies = $('.bbp-topic-voice-count', this).text();
            var followers = $('.bbp-topic-reply-count', this).text();
            var freshness = $('.bbp-topic-freshness > a', this).html();
            var meta = $('p.bbp-topic-meta', this).text();


            var newrow = '' +
                '' +
                '' + author +' ' +
                '<a href="' + headhref + '">' + headline + '</a><a></a>' +
                '' + excerpt + '' +
                'Replies' + replies + ' ' +
                'Followers' + followers + ' ' +
                'Updated' + freshness + ' ' +
                ' ';

            $('#supersticky').fadeIn().append(newrow)

        })

[Ronileco]

Sure thing.

The boxes are CSS and our own design but you can use the Vote It Up plugin for votes, although it hasn’t been updated in ages.

You’ll need to customise and theme it. BTW, we are using BBPress 2.0.2 and not the latest but it should work.

Good Luck…

[richardpd]

Thanks for your reply. Do I presume from this that the error message:Fatal error: Class ‘BBP_Theme_Compat’ is a BuddyPress error? So I will need to find help with BuddyPress to fix this
(I updated 9 plugins all at once & this included bbPress & BuddyPress latest versions-so it would seem likely the problem is with the BuddyPress plugin update).

Hey,

My company’s website uses a custom wordpress theme, and we’ve been adding bbpress compatibility to it directly (rather than using a child theme). We’ve been working on a staging server initially, before installing the updated theme on the main site.

We got everything working very nicely on the staging server, but the main one seems to have problems. Here’s an example:

• A sample user page: http://www.inklestudios.com/forums/users/joethephish – It seems to be using some data internally from the blog. The article id is “post-561” which actually corresponds to this blog post: http://www.inklestudios.com/archives/561
• The fact that it’s been treated as a blog post means that it’s been structured and styled slightly differently too, and is getting related classes to the tags from the blog post.

I’m very confused, because supposedly there’s no difference in setup between the staging server and the live one.

I have a single top level template file for the forums: forum.php, which looks like this:

    get_header(); ?&gt;                        <!-- ?php comments_template( '', true ); ? -->                 <!-- .left-column -->                 <!-- .right-column -->            <!-- #content -->
