Massive Emails To Users After Conversion

Published on January 27th, 2014 by Tearstone

It has been about two weeks since I converted my vBulletin forum over to BBPress. The existing forum has been around since 2008 and since the conversion, we have been receiving emails over entire history of the site that topics have been replied to. These are notifications that have been sent non-stop since the conversion.

I installed Buddypress and BBPress at the same time, so I’m not sure exactly what is causing all of these emails to continue to be sent out. How do I stop these notification emails from going out? I’ve already attempted to add the following code to my site specific plug-in, but it does not seem to have helped much. I guess it helped with mentions but not the replies.

remove_action( ‘bp_activity_posted_update’, ‘bp_activity_at_message_notification’, 10, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_groups_posted_update’, ‘groups_at_message_notification’, 10, 4 );

What are the BBPress hooks to stop reply notifications? I just want them to stop for awhile without disabling email site wide.

Could a plugin developer protect his functions?

Published on January 27th, 2014 by Shmoo

I kinda know how filters work right now and I’ve used them a few times to hide or change default bbPress functions.

As you can see at my screenshot I’ve completely removed the Merge, Split, Move and Reply links from my admin_links() function because I don’t need them. It’s a fun thing to do if you start to understand how it works.

The only problem is,
bbp_topic_admin_links(); is just a wrapper for all the links, each link has it’s own function and if you play nice with them you can copy them and use them straight into your page templates and you’ll see your link-/button show up wherever you want them to show up.
This is great, I’ve done something like this shmoo_bbp_topic_edit_link(); changed and reused the default topic link function and placed it at the top of the content as you can see in my screenshot.

Great, only thing is, if I try to do the same with a function from a plugin developer it says; Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_topic_report_link()

Why is this function undefined ??
The developer has made that function in his plugin file – which hooks straight into my functions.php , why can’t I use his functions the way I do use the Core bbPress functions inside my functions.php file..

I would like to remove the report link from the admin_links and bring it solo to the top of the content.

New – How can I make my forum look like this one?

Published on January 27th, 2014 by tchickenscratch

I love the way this forum looks like! I just installed 2 days ago and I am trying to figure out how to get the forum to look good. First, I cannot read the font on topics because its way too light. Ive tried everything I can think of to make it darker.

Any help would be WONDERFUL!!! Here is my forum page:

How can I have three levels of forums in the home page, instead of two (as now)

Published on January 27th, 2014 by JeremyCh

Hi guys

I was wondering how can I have three levels of forums in the home page, instead of two (as it is now), list the 2nd level one below another and with their description.

Any idea how to achieve that please ?

Thanks
Jeremy

PS, or probably, to keep them as they are, and to add a category at the top, so that the forums of the front page can be organised in categories.

Anyone here want PM on their site?

Published on January 27th, 2014 by Kris35

At the moment I am using Cartpauj PM which works well but Im looking around for something more streamlined. I’ve read that we can install BuddyPress and use their PM function. I’m wondering if anyone here has done this or are thinking of doing this? I’d like to compare notes to see if its worth a shot?

How to ban a BBPress member?

Published on January 27th, 2014 by Kris35

I know I can block them in WP Users – is that how its done does anyone here know? I tried this on a testname and no I couldnt click on the BBPress topics but was taken to the forum topic page (chat-boards/topic/another-birthday-looms) that has all my sites pages links on it? Urgh, it even has Membership Cancel, Membership Checkout pages on it. Anyone know how to either get rid of this page or take the banned person to the homepage or somewhere else on my site? Thanks.

How to remove voices

Published on January 27th, 2014 by shauny007

On a site I don’t allow any sort of registration. Everything is accessible and functional without being registered.

I am making the BBPress function in the same way. So for this reason I was wondering if it’s possible to remove Voices. It does not look good when for example 10 people have posted in a topic but it only says 2 voices or something.

Is there a simple straightforward way to do this.

Could not open socket

Published on January 27th, 2014 by Erica

I don’t even know that this is really an error with the plugin itself but I’m hoping someone may have some suggestions. I currently host my WordPress site through DreamHost. After a recent upgrade (I think to 2.5), I started getting a lot of complaints about socket errors after people tried to post a new topic or reply. It comes and it goes, I haven’t found any consistent time, nor have I experienced it myself because it’s not an every time sort of problem.

DreamHost talked about other sites loading down the server, but after they fixed that, it continued. So I requested my site be moved to a new server, but it’s STILL happening. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do? My users are getting rather frustrated.

Thanks!

I'd like to copy your Log In at the top

Published on January 27th, 2014 by Drrr

Hey Community,

I’m pretty sure bbpress.org is running on WordPress. Is there any way to copy the admin bar especially the one seen by non-logged-in-users?

I mean this to be precise (black bar with anonymous button):
Admin Bar of bbPress.org

The only alternative is this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-bar-login/

But the hover effect which the plugin adds to the admin bar is really ugly.

Any advices someone?
