Add capibilities to a role

Published on January 9th, 2014 by AJD

I’m looking for a simple way to to add two capabilities:’delete_topics’ and
‘delete_replies’ to the user role ‘participant’.

I have found a couple plugins to manage all capabilities, but that seems like overkill.

thanks.

Forum options not showing in Dashboard

Published on January 9th, 2014 by Matt The Hat

hello all,

I have searched the forums here and not found a solution yet, so sorry if I have missed it.

I recently installed bbPress to my site and all seemed fine. I have not done anything that I can think of this evening but the dashboard options have all disappeared. I think this could be user settings issue but the forum repair tool in the Tools panel has disappeared too so I am unable to repair the user settings. anyone got any ideas how I can reset the admin access?

I have checked that I am set as Keymaster and have also noticed that the forum settings when editing profiles has also disappeared

WordPress 3.8 and bbPress 2.5.2

Thanks in advanced for any help.

Forum Link Is Too Long

Published on January 9th, 2014 by Darth

I am working on installing BBpress for the first time.

I have it installed and I created my first forum, but the link is way too long. It shows as:

http://mysite.com/forums/forum/darth-forums/

I’ve tried resetting permalinks, but that didn’t fix it. How can I make the link show as http://mysite.com/darth-forums/ ?

Thanks!

Display post count in sidebar for author ID

Published on January 9th, 2014 by Nathan Hawkes

How do I display an author’s forum post count in a sidebar? I am trying to make a widget that shows the number of posts an author has made (as well as the number of blog posts they have made). You can see this at http://uksones.uni.me/2014/01/hello-world/. It’s the unformated widget at the top of the page.

In my sidebar, I am using bbp_get_user_post_count() and feeding the author ID using get_the_author_meta(‘ID’), but the post count is coming back as ‘0’, even though I have made a topic in the forum and posted a reply to that topic. Is there a way to get the post count into my widget (so in my example, I believe that would appear as ‘2’ – one topic + one reply = two posts)?

I am currently using WP 3.8 and bbP 2.5.2.

Thanks in advance.

BbPress @mentions broken with new way BP handles usernames with spaces

Published on January 9th, 2014 by rossagrant

Happy New Year all!

Just noticed a slight bug I think with the way that BBPress deals with @mentions since this TRAC ticket for the way BP handles usernames with spaces in.

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/7570

So basically a new username can now HAVE spaces in it.

When we use that username with spaces in BBPress it isn’t happy and wont work, unless it’s hyphenated.

Let me know if you’d like me to make a TRAC ticket for it.

🙂

Removing Akismet Records From PostMeta?

Published on January 8th, 2014 by radioinsight

I have BuddyPress/bbPress installed on a secondary site of a Multi-Site installation. The bbPress portion took of the site took off about a month ago, but the wp_postmeta database for the boards has already swelled to over 30mb in size with 63,000 rows and occasionally affects performance of the site.

In looking through the database I see thousands of the entries are from Akismet records. Are meta key’s such as _bbp_akismet_as_submitted, _bbp_akismet_history, and _bbp_akismet_result necessary to retain in wp_postmeta in order for Akismet to continue to block spam? Will removing them simply result in Akismet re-adding them on a future scan?

Forum Page

Published on January 8th, 2014 by fantasysixpack

wordpress v 3.8 , bbPress v 2.5.5

I have created my Forum page and it was working correctly at first but now when I go to the main page I get a text version of the top level groups. http://biz139.inmotionhosting.com/~fantas55/forums/

I know the forums are actually there and working because I can still get to a forum post and use the breadcrumbs to get back to all the other levels of the forum, just not the top one.

Also is that Admin Notice going to go away, or is that related to this issue?

Change user role from outside bbPress

Published on January 8th, 2014 by AJ

I would like to set a conditional check for a user meta value or status and update their user role accordingly. Is this possible? (in a plugin or functions.php)

for example:

if (user_status = pending) {set forum user role to => observer}
OR
if (user_meta field ‘status’ = pending) {set forum user role to => observer}
AND
if (user_status = approved) {set forum user role to => participant}
OR
if (user_meta field ‘status’ = approved) {set forum user role to => participant}
