bbPress.org

When I go to the root of my forums (new install with only 6 forums) the pagination at the bottom of the screen shows 4 pages… there is no page beyond the first page and if you click on the link to page 2, it goes to forums/page 2 but displays the same page. It does the same with any of the other links 3-4.

This has me stumped? I tried changing the topics shown to a larger and that just increases the pagination links (I went from 2 to 4). I set both the blog post and topic post back to default and the links stayed the same.

I’m really impatient and I will most likely try to reset the forums and start over since they are new and there are only 6 with only a couple posts I made in them. So, I’ll let you know if that fixed it.

Thanks for any help!

Thanks for your help,

Hello,
I am a newbie in WP and bbP.

I want to give to the user of my site the possibility to include a reference (a link, a quote or something else) of a post or page in a new created topic in bbPress.

There is a plugin “bbPress Topics for Posts” : it include a topic for all posts or pages. That is not what I want. I want the possibility of the following scenario :
– the user create a new post in bbPress
– after or before the text of the topic it should have the possibility to insert a reference to a post or page.

I find nothings that could help me. Do you have any idea to do that ?

Thanks

AP

When I insert links into a reply for a topic via the the link option or by inputting html directly, it never shows up in the reply. In fact if my reply consists only of a link and no text apart from it, ll i get is an empty\blank reply to the topic. I’ve tried this with different user roles too, since i suspected the ability to post unrestricted html might’ve been the problem, but no such luck. I’m relatively new to wordpress, so i apologise if this has an obvious fix or an apparent reason.

WordPress 3.6
BBpress 2.3.2

I get this error on the main forum page where all the topics are listed:

Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in /home/public_html/wp-content/themes/genesis/lib/functions/general.php on line 293

It started after I upgraded to Genesis 2.0. I have no other plugins installed so it must be a genesis2.0-bbpress compatibility problem.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

So right now the entire forum is using the standard page template (Default Template). Here is an example of the template.

But I would like bbpress to use the Full-Width Template as used here.

Is there a way to change the page-template used by bbpress?

Kind regards,
Luc

Hey

I have installed bbpress on my website and it’s pretty easy to use it but I just have a question about adding sub categories.

I have create a category for example How to and a forum as a parent in this category for example phones but i just want the users now to see all the sub categories from the forum home page but when they click on How to they will see all the sub categories so can that be done?

BTW, idk if this is repeated or not but I searched and found some old topics like from 3 years but nothing new

Thanks!

Probably best directed at @johnjamesjacoby, any suggestions welcome!

Already read your post here (love the concept, makes sense) and have a question : https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/roles-and-capabilities-in-bbpress-2-2/

I’m the developer of Events Manager and in this plugin you can assign custom capabilities to existing roles. Unfortunately your recent update regarding caps is preventing our plugin from adding custom caps to your roles.

I’ve figured out a way around this, but this requires at least 1 extra database query each instance since I can’t load wp_user_roles via get_option due to your hooks.


function em_bbp_get_caps_for_role( $caps, $role ){
global $em_capabilities_array, $wpdb;
//get the non-dynamic role from the wp_options table
$roles = maybe_unserialize($wpdb->get_var("SELECT option_value FROM {$wpdb->options} WHERE option_name='wp_user_roles'"));
//loop through the original role if it exists and add our em caps to the bp role
if( !empty($roles[$role]) ){
foreach($roles[$role]['capabilities'] as $cap_name => $has_cap ){
if( array_key_exists($cap_name, $em_capabilities_array) ){
$caps[$cap_name] = $has_cap;
}
}
}
return $caps;
}
add_filter('bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'em_bbp_get_caps_for_role', 10, 2);


What it does is load our caps into your caps by referencing the original wp_user_roles array

So, my questions are:

• Is there a better way to do this, preferably avoiding extra DB queries?
• Since you seem to be assigning a second role to the user, would an alternative solution be to prevent EM from assigning caps to bbpress user roles and let the primary/secondary role inherit the relevant caps?

thanks for reading!

I’ve read all the support threads. I know the current advice is to activate BuddyPress.

That’s not a very clean solution. BuddyPress, with all due respect, is kind of a mess. I’ve worked and worked with it and I cannot get it to integrate with my theme (Pinboard–which incidentally wasn’t easy to integrate with BBPress either).

I now have a fully capable copy of BBPress. I’ve got a very long set of CSS amendments in my theme page, but it works.

If I activate BuddyPress I get major issues; initially it was breaking the whole site, then I built it a separate copy of the CSS file in a /css/ subdirectory and it at least ran. Theme integration was a disaster but I spent the time and got the profile pages looking ok. Then I tried to send a PM: fail. Fail on multiple levels, mostly in the PHP files — this is beyond theme integration. This is broken functionality.

What we sorely need is a simple set of plug ins that do two things:

(1) Allow private messaging. This really does not have to be complicated.

(2) Allow moderators to customize profile fields.

That’s it. No need to lay a very heavy second plugin over everything. (And BuddyPress takes up as much load time as BBPress itself per the Performance Profiler plug in).

Are there any plug in developers out there with the knowledge to pull this off? Maybe we could pool some money and get someone started?

Thanks,
Zach

Hi,

I would like to make the forum name part of the topic dynamic.

I like to have
forum/name-of-forum/topic-title

where the “name-of-forum” should relflect the name of the forum the topic is in

but I get:
forum/topic/topic-title

where the “topic” part is fixed.

Is there a plugin? Do I have to code?

Any help is appreciated 🙂
