What Happens to Replies When User Quits

Published on October 29th, 2014 by readwriteandedit

Just a questions–what happens to their replies and topics when a forum user quits? I’m using BBPress with iTheme Exchange Membership to set up a new site and since it’s a paid membership site, users will cancel membership over time. I’m just wondering what will happen to their replies and any topics they start.

Thanks

Avatars not showing because backslash stripped by core

Published on October 29th, 2014 by nolimit966

Hi, ive had problems from my users that avatars are not showing in the forums. I checked it out & it seems theres a backslash being removed from the URL to the image. I had to remove:
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_topic_author_link’, ‘stripslashes’ ); from the filters.php and it now all works fine. Problem is my theme is in source control and surely editing core files cannot be correct, right?

This is in my loop-single-topic.php file and this is what displays the name and avatar:
<span class=”bbp-topic-started-by”><?php printf( __( ‘Started by: %1$s’), “”.bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( ‘size’ => ’90’))); ?></span>

Is this a known bug and is there a better way to fix this? I am using the latest BBpress and WordPress 4.0. Avatar plugin is WP User Avatar

Thanks

Cheers

Forum Spam

Published on October 29th, 2014 by designscape

I have just taken over on a website where the BBPress plugin was de-activated but I guess while it was up the forums were never monitored and there are 130,000 replies that are all spam. I don’t want to delete 100 at a time!!! What is the fastest or best way to delete the forums, topics and replies to start over???

Time Stamp Fetching for posts suddenly broken

Published on October 28th, 2014 by 8ird

Hi there,

I’ve been successfully clinging on to bbPress 1.2 (last standalone) with my forum, so far without any problems.

Sadly that changed about a month ago when the forum suddenly started fetching “wrong” time stamps for user posts.

Now when I say wrong time stamps, what I really mean is differing time stamps, from what I could observe of about one hour.

Lets say I post something at 2pm, then one of my users comes on and he posts a reply shortly after. Now that reply doesn’t get a time stamp of, say, 2pm1min, but instead 3pm1min. The forum will now treat this post as if it were posted in the future, resulting in the output “posted -1 year ago” until forum time is past 3pm1min.
The second and more urgent consequence is that if I or anybody else with the “right” time stamp assigned to them will post another comment within that hour, that reply will be added in the wrong order prior to the first reply.

As for solving this issue, I have tried to figure it out in the code (to no avail) and even did a rollback of the forum and database to March 2014 for test purposes, yet the issue persists.
This leads me to believe that it cannot be related to any bad code (especially since the software and Plugins haven’t been touched in months), but rather that there may have been a fundamental change in the way the date function in post.php works. I can’t even seem to figure out where bbPress would fetch it’s time data from.

Banging my head against the wall at the moment, any help would be hugely appreciated.

Cheers
Lars

Meta query in Views

Published on October 28th, 2014 by robsward

I’m trying to create a View that uses the following arguments, using meta_query and date_query, but it doesn’t seem to filter at all and displays all posts:

$args2  = array( 
        'orderby' => 'post_date',
	'order', 'DESC',
        'meta_query' => array(
             'relation'  => 'OR',
             array(
	             'key'      => '_bbps_topic_status',
	             'value'    => '1',
                 'compare'   => 'LIKE'
             ),
             array(
	             'key'      => '_bbps_topic_status',
	             'value'    => '2',
                 'compare'   => 'LIKE'
             )
         ),
        'date_query' => array(
	        array(
		        'year'  => date( 'Y' ),
		        'month' => date( 'M' ),
	        )
        )
	);
	bbp_register_view( 'unsolved-tix', __( 'Unsolved Tickets', 'textdomain' ), $args2, true );

Using just a single meta_key works fine, but in these args, neither the date_query nor meta_query work. Are these unsupported?

Unable to create new forum as Keymaster

Published on October 28th, 2014 by

When I set my Editor users to Keymaster level, I am unable to create a new forum. The dashboard does not have Forums, Topics, Replies items listed in the left navigation. (Administrators as Keymaster do have those items.)

I do seem to have the capability to work with topics including deleting topics by other members from the front-end of the site (but not the dashboard).

When I access a forum from the front-end, an edit link appears and clicking it brings me to the post editor for that forum. I see a New Forum button. Clicking the button, I get this error:

Invalid post type

WP Version: 4.0
bbpress Version: 2.5.4
Theme: wp-framework

Thanks.

BBpress permalink clash with Woocommerce

Published on October 28th, 2014 by koreancandy

Hi,

I have been having trouble with using both Woocommerce and BBPress.

When I try to access page two of my BBpress topic reply, it doesn’t take me to the link, instead it just refreshes the page. After reactivating all of my plugins to find the culprit, it appears that it’s Woocommerce creating this permalink issue.

I have tried for the past 5 days to try and play around with the permalink structures, but no matter what I try, the problem to occurs.

My website is: http://teachmekorean.co/ but for some reason it won’t let non-logged in users view the forum even though the settings are set for it being open to everyone.

Is this easy to fix as it is crucial I use both of the plugins?

Thank you very much 🙂

Separate forums?

Published on October 28th, 2014 by jackoslam

On a single site, can I have a different forum for each of my main menu topics? Let me give an exaggerated example. If I were to have a site called “Cars,” I might have a menu for GM with separate pages for Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, etc. And I might have a Ford menu with Ford models, etc. Can I have a different bbPress formum for each of these models, as opposed to one large forum categorized by Topic Title and tags? In other words, a user might go to page about Chevrolets and post a relevant node there. Someone else might open a menu about Lincolns and add a post to this page, and so on?

Please excuse me for being elementary.

Replace BBPress Role display with WordPress role name!

Published on October 28th, 2014 by xcvpro

I really need some help, i am using a plugin that allows me to make custom wordpress roles and give them permissions to make topics and stuff in the forums… I want to make it so the text that is displayed on the forums like “Participant” or “Keymaster” are changed to the text of the users wordpress role ie. “Participant” becomes “New Member” so that i can make a rank identification system.

I could have;

New Member {Same as Participant permisstions}
Full Member {Same as Participant permisstions}
Senor Member {Same as Participant permisstions}
Moderator {Same as moderators permisstions}
Administrator {Same as keymasters permisstions}
Ect…
