My forum is not working as expected.

Published on March 16th, 2013 by Sudeep Acharya

Hi,

I have installed the bbpress plugin along with buddypress, it’s working but strange thing is happening.
Here is my forum but when I add the bbcode to display it, it gives me a weird look. Please check.

Please be kind enough to tell me where I have gone wrong.

Regards,
Sudeep Acharya

XML Sitemap Generator for bbpress 2.2.4

Published on March 16th, 2013 by fontadoni

Those who (like me) have recently upgraded from the bbpress standalone version to the plugin version of bbpress, will be glad to know that Arne Branchold’s WordPress plugin “Google XML Sitemaps”, has the ability to include your bbpress forum posts into your xml sitemap. You can download the plugin here: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/

I’ve been using this plugin for years so I was glad to find this option. It took me a few days to figure this out, so I thought I would share this info in case there are others wondering about a way to include your posts into your wordpress sitemap.

Go to Settings -> XML-Sitemap. Under sitemap content -> Custom Post Types: select “Include custom post type Forums” and “Include custom post type Topics”. Then update options from the bottom and click on “rebuild the sitemap manually” from the top to update your sitemap. If you have a google webmaster tools account, you can now resubmit your sitemap to google.

"Topics Started", "Replies Created" and "Subscriptions" Not Showing

Published on March 16th, 2013 by SUM1

It’s exactly how the title puts it. It’s just a blank page with the text “viewing 5 topics – 1 of 5”. I’ve searched it up and one solution was to change line 815 in bbpress.css to “clear: both;” instead of “clear: none;”. It wasn’t line 815 but 818, but it was still near so I knew which one. I tried it, and the topics showed, but they were shifted down the page quite a lot, and there was a lot of blank space between the “viewing 5 topics – 1 of 5” and the topics list. Is there any way I can solve this? Direct link to problem is here.

Front end ticket edit doesn't work with "404 Redirected" plugin enabled

Published on March 15th, 2013 by dtbaker

Hello,

Wondering if anybody has experience with the “404 Redirected” wordpress plugin?

When this 404 plugin is enabled I cannot use the front end forum/reply editing feature.

This URL http://ultimateclientmanager.com/topic/add-an-other-taxe/edit/ simply redirects to this url http://ultimateclientmanager.com/topic/add-an-other-taxe/

bbPress 2.2.4 and WordPress 3.5.1

Does anybody know why the 404 plugin is identifying this URL as a 404 and doing the redirect?

Thanks,
Dave

Some users can't see first post

Published on March 15th, 2013 by mralexweber

This is a similar issue to another post: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/first-post-not-showing/

However, that other topic doesn’t seem to be getting feedback from knowledgeable developers, and I’ve done a bit of additional troubleshooting.

Basically, some users on our site can *never* see the first post on any bbPress topics.

I’ve tried disabling all types of caching (we’re using W3 Total Cache) and that had no effect. Also, we’re using WishList Member (closed-source membership plugin) and of course, other plugins.

Inspecting the $bbpress variable while logged in as an admin and an affected user (in a different browser), I was able to find the following inconsistency in $bbpress->reply_query->request:
admin’s:
`SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_1_posts.* FROM wp_1_posts FORCE INDEX (PRIMARY, post_parent) WHERE 1=1 AND (wp_1_posts.ID = 2904 OR wp_1_posts.post_parent = 2904) AND wp_1_posts.post_type IN (‘topic’, ‘reply’) AND (wp_1_posts.post_status = ‘publish’ OR wp_1_posts.post_status = ‘closed’) ORDER BY wp_1_posts.post_date ASC LIMIT 0, 15`

affected user’s:
`SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_1_posts.ID FROM wp_1_posts WHERE 1=1 AND wp_1_posts.ID NOT IN (648,649,650,1067,1075,1085,1091,1102) AND wp_1_posts.post_parent = 2904 AND wp_1_posts.post_type IN (‘topic’, ‘reply’) AND (wp_1_posts.post_status = ‘publish’ OR wp_1_posts.post_status = ‘closed’) ORDER BY wp_1_posts.post_date ASC LIMIT 0, 15`

I noticed there’s a section for wp_1_posts.ID NOT IN(…) which isn’t present for admin. Anyone know where this comes from?

So, here’s the question: why can’t this user see all replies in every topic? Is there something I’m overlooking?

Finally, if someone is willing to fix this issue for us for a reasonable fee, please email me directly at alex [at] theartofcharm [dotcom]

Here’s the full $bbpress var dump (from admin user): http://pastebay.com/1189524
and here’s one from an affected user: http://pastebay.com/1189525

Thanks in advance!

Switching Accounts redirects to homepage of the website

Published on March 15th, 2013 by terrifictary

I have a website which has many accounts (Say A, B, C, D). Now suppose I have selected account “A” and navigates to various pages from 1->2->3 and so on.

Say I am on page 3 (for Account “A”), now I want to switch my account from “A” to “B”, but want to remain on Page 3.

What is currently happening in my wordpress site, when I switch the accounts (be it on any page), I am always redirected to my site’s Homepage.

I want even if I am switching account, I want to remain on same page of my website.
Can someone please help me on the same!!

Let me share a snap of the same. As per the first snapshot (Snap_one.png), I am currently under Manage Project page (Logged in as Admin) for Account ThingieMcThingie (encircled in yellow).

Now, when I switch the account from ThingieMcThingie to some other (The Poke – for example), I am redirected to my website’s homepage itself.

The Account has been switched successfully, but I am redirected to my Homepage(or Dashboard Page).Snap_One.png

What I want is, when I switch the accounts, I should remain at the same page (My Projects in above example).

Snap_One – When I am Logged in as Admin under My Projects page for ThingieMcThingie account

Snap_Two – When I am switching account from ThingieMcThingie to The Poke.

Snap_Three – When I have switched my account from ThingieMcThingie to The Poke. The Page is redirected from My Projects to Homepage (Dashboard Page)

Thanks

Incorrect forum name after return from topic

Published on March 15th, 2013 by E-SOL

I am a new WP (version 3.5.1) user, and I don’t know much about html and other codes. I have set up WP with help from firends, and I have managed to create a forum myself with bbPress (version 2.2.4).
It looks good, but my problem is that when I return from a topic to my main forum page the title of the page changes to the first topic in the list.
As a work-around I found a solution that suggested creating a new wp page and adding “

“. This works and looks good, but when I click on Forum to go back to my main forum menu, I am returned to the bbPress main forum menu where the title is wrong. How can I return to my own WP forum page after visiting a topic?
Is there and address or a code string I can add somewhere in the plugin program? – or perhaps it isn’t that easy? Can anyone please help me?
