Plugin Update 2.5.3

Published on January 21st, 2014 by krosenbach

Hi.
I recently updated to version 2.5.3 in my online classroom. I’m using WordPress 3.8.
After my update all content within my forum topics disappeared.
The forums remain. All topics remain. All replies within the topic are gone.

Any help would be appreciated.
No, I do not have a backup. I’m new to maintaining a website.

Avatar Shifts Position on Window Resize

Published on January 21st, 2014 by sephiroticvm

WordPress 3.8
bbpress 2.5.3
http://organicconservative.net/?topic=oil-pulling-for-clean-teeth

On this topic page, when the window is resized to about 464px wide or less, the avatar images (the actual image element, not its div as far as I can tell) are removed and positioned absolutely at the top left part of the page, all in one stack.

What causes this, what is the fix, and do I really need to worry about it since I can’t think of a environment that is 464px wide?

Thanks!

How to add new forum roles?

Published on January 21st, 2014 by giggio

I use bbPress-2.5.3 and BuddyPress-1.9.1 for my forum.

I want to add a couple of new forum roles + existing 5 default roles. How to do that?

For example, I want to have forum roles – ‘beginner’, ‘advanced’, ‘senior’, ‘veteran’, etc. with capabilities – ‘participant’. And other forum roles with custom names with capabilities – ‘moderator’.

Thanks in advance!

Clicking link to make post a sticky kicks me to login page

Published on January 21st, 2014 by powermaniac

When I’m logged in as admin and trying to make a sticky, it sends me to the login page. Once I log in again and try once more, it does the same thing. I’m using the latest version of both bbpress and wordpress. Any ideas?

Subscribe a group of members to specific forum

Published on January 21st, 2014 by Nermoz

Hi There,

I spent a couple of hours looking for a solution and couldn’t find one. Does anyone have an idea how to address my challenge:

I am using “Restrict Content Pro” to create a few groups on my site and I have a dedicated sub-forum for each group.
I would like to subscribe all the members of group X to sub-forum X. So they will all start getting email notifications for every activity within that sub-forum.
Any suggestion how to achieve that? (I don’t use BuddyPress, only BBpress)

Thanks!

Couple of hints for theme developers

Published on January 21st, 2014 by Markic

First of all, I’m not asking any questions, I’m offering solutions for people who, like me, had these specific problems, are googling for a solutions and can’t find any. Some of you think this is pure amateur stuff, but there are people out there who will spend hours trying different things and this can save them so much time. If you want to delete this topic, I don’t care, I’m here to help…

How to load bbpress.css before your yoursheet.css?
Intro: When WordPress is loading stylesheets, they’ll load all the theme .css files first and then they’ll load plugin css. That way plugin css has higher priority than your css and only way you can override it is with !important. As we all know, that is a bad practice.

Also, you can create your own bbpress.css in your theme but that means more files to keep up with (although, that’s the cleanest solution). Here’s another way to do this:

paste this code into functions.php…

if (class_exists('bbPress')) {
add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'deregister_bbpress_styles', 15 );
function deregister_bbpress_styles() {
wp_deregister_style( 'bbp-default' );
}
wp_enqueue_style( 'bbpress_css', plugins_url().'/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.min.css');
}

So, let’s get into details:
– first, if you have active plugin ‘bbPress’ it will exicute the following code which removes all the .css files from it
– second, it loads bbpress.min.css again, but this time where you want it…
– be sure that you enqeue your stylesheet after this code

Note: there are two problems that might arise from this techique
-if bbPress developers decide to rename, remove or split bbpress.min.css, you’ll have to change the code again
-there’s other .css file named “bbpress-rtl(.min).css”. Well, some cultures (Arabic), read and write from right to left. And what this file aligns everything to the right. bbPress has some system of deciding whether it should load this file or not, but by doing this technique, you’re disabling that system.

How can I remove all the breadcrumbs from the templates and set them at the top of the page?
Intro: Many of us are creating our own themes with existing breadcrumbs systems which are in the header. But bbPress has it’s own idea where to display breadcrumbs, and sometimes that’s at the top of the page, sometimes that’s below search form and sometimes it’s below title. Here’s how you can change that quickly.

1. If you haven’t, create “bbpress.php” in the root folder of your theme. (You can copy-paste page.php)
2. Add
<div class="truebreadcrumbs"><?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?></div>
where you wan’t to show your breadcrumbs
3. Add this CSS:

div.bbp-breadcrumb {
display: none; /*this will hide all breadcrumbs*/
}

.truebreadcrumbs div.bbp-breadcrumb {
display: block; /*this will display breadcrumbs you've created*/
}

Sure, HTML will still generate all the breadcrumbs and css will hide the unwanted ones, but this is the easiest way to do this without going into templates…

Request: Topic Index that excludes specific forums, w correct pagination

Published on January 21st, 2014 by billseymour

Hello- First time poster to the bbPress forums.

I am giving bbPress (WP plugin) a good test workout, and overall find it a great piece of work.

I am working up a set of forums where (with the Members plugin) I have a few forums for ‘Board members’, while most forums are for all members.

Q: Is there a way to generate a topic-index that excludes selected forums, that correctly paginates? I can easily exclude topics in ‘forum xyz’ by customizing loop-topics.php, but the topic pagination still includes those excluded topics in the pagination count.

It seems to me that many bbP users would benefit from the ability to list selected topics by excluding forums (ie, topics for all forums except forum-xyz).

Can this possibly be done via wp_query? Is the ‘forum name’ attached to each topic a Custom Field?

Thanks for any information. –Bill

I installed BBpress and liked it very much, everything is working fine but when i try to start a topic the whole topic page is messed up!

Also the link is weird, i made a forum with subfolders in it and when is post a topic the link is voetbalwedtips.nl/topic/jaja instead of voetbalwedtips.nl/forums/forum/jaja?? i dont have a clue anymore?
