bbPress.org

Hello, I am new to bbPress and I am currently using a theme called GamePress. I’m pretty sure this theme isn’t compatible with bbPress because when I go to create a page the templates aren’t located in the themes drop-down. Is there a way to make my theme compatible with my theme.

Also, The forum shows up if I type in my url http://www.website.com/forums but I don’t like the way it looks where do I go to change the themes? I didn’t see an option in the Admin of wordpress anywhere. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Jordan

Hi there!
As the title suggests, I am wondering if it is possible to make it so that when I create a new post in my WordPress, it automatically creates a new topic in bbPress. Ideally, it would automatically be created in the right forum, maybe via a custom field or category?
Also, if that’s doable at all, is it possible to automatically put the permalink somewhere on the page of the article that is the post? Or maybe even turn the WordPress comment area into the bbPress reply section, if you know what I mean? So that directly underneath the article in my WordPress, users who are logged into the board can reply and those who aren’t logged in get a log-in link.

If one of you could let me know if any of that is possible and point me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much in advance.

I’m trying to display the login widget in the footer but the styling is mixed up. Any suggestions?

My website is amanofreason.com. How can I manage the order of my forums. For example, I would want the rules forum to stay at the top while others are featured below. I tried creating a menu but I have had no success. Any help would me much appreciated.

Hi! I’m new to bbPress and have some questions. I wouldn’t mind paid consulting so if you’re an expert please let me know how to get in touch.

I run a business providing support plans which customers subscribe to for ongoing tech support for their WordPress site. I want to have a system where I am able to log all the support activities for each customer. Each post would then be a support incident for the customer. They would then be able to login to see a history of the activity in their account.

I am thinking of creating a forum for each customer and a new thread (topic) for each support incident. Customers are not allowed to create new threads – they can only comment. My question is how to setup bbPress so that:

1. Customers can only view threads in forums that they have access to
2. Customers can only comment on existing threads and cannot create new threads
3. Customers receive notifications of new threads to forums that they are assigned to.

I would really appreciate any pointers. Thanks all!

i really don’t understand why bbpress includes topics inside “user replies created”!. i just designed a forum based on bbpress and i want to show just replies in “user replies created”. by using sql i checked type of each reply and if “topic_type” is not equal to “reply” so ignore it. everything works fine until i realized pagination(page numbers) functionality doesn’t ignore topics! for example assume page limitation is 5, i have 3 replies and 3topic and as i said i ignored topics and i see just 3 replies but also page numbers! the worst thing is ordered items with their dates and if date of replies are older that topics i see the very first page empty and for seeing replies created i should navigate to see them! how can i tell pagination that ignore topics in this particulate page?!
PS: i installed BBpress beside Buddypress for having powerfull profile abilities. wordpress 3.5 and lates bbpress till now(2.2.3)

If bbPress is running on a WordPress Multisite subdomain, then it seems to be adding network users who visit a sub site to the sub site’s users as participants – this includes the super-admin!

Activate bbPress plugin on a subdomain and ths default setting is unchecked:

`
Auto role | Automatically assign default role to new, registered users upon visiting the site.
`

Visit the sub site as any network user, and they are added as a participant! Only after checking the Auto role option, saving and unchecking it and saving again, does this work as intended.

The second bug is a major one and can only be stopped by deactivating bbPress!

I am writing a plugin which creates users and adds them to blogs. I am using the add_user_to_blog* function and each time I call it with bbPress activated, it adds the admin user who is calling the function to ALL blogs as a participant! If I go into a subdomain as a admin user of that site, this admin user is not listed (even in subdomain who have bbPress enabled), but I as this admin can see all sites are listed in my Sites drop down. I manually look into the database and see in the wp_usermeta table that this user has capabilities and level (of 0) entries for all blogs!

Of course if I deactivate bbPress and call up the add_user_to_blog, everything works as expected, and the user calling up the function does not get added as a participant to ALL the sub sites! I think there is some sort of filter that bbPress is applying that is causing this.

Could someone look at this and see if they can replicate it and fix it?

My website is amanofreason.com. How can I edit a topic so it will only appear under its parent forum. For example, I created a topic where users can post their first message. However, instead of only appearing under the Your First Post Goes Here! forum, the topic also shows up under the Rules forum. Any help is much appreaciated.

Hi,

I’m trying to setup Google Analytics events tracking for certain user actions like when someone joins and clicks the submit button on the registration form or when they “friend” someone by clicking the “add friend” button.

Problem is I have no idea where to start looking for those form buttons so I can add the javascript events. I looked in most of the template files but I am not seeing where the form submit buttons are being generated from?

Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.

http://www.claverton-energy.com – running WordPress since 2008. In Dec 2012 I was asked to rebuild it, enhance its features, including installation of bbPress / BuddyPress etc.

PROBLEM: an item I have not been able to solve is that users with Admin access can log in, but cannot access the default Admin page. However, they are able to use the Edit option when viewing a page whilst logged in.

I’ve read through numerous forum posts on WordPress.org and other sites, and tried solutions others have found, but have not solved the problem. Some ‘solutions’ have created additional setbacks! Trying to force a database upgrade resulted in all user’s passwords ceasing to work, requiring manual resets via MySQL… 🙂

Over the past month;
– the site has been successively upgraded to 3.5.0 and then to 3.5.1
– wp-admin / wp-includes directories have been replaced with fresh copies to eliminate possibility of a corrupt file
– wp-config has been replaced with latest version
– Database “repair” run from Cpanel
– checked for “curly” quotes in user meta-data
– site used standard wp_ table prefixes
– disk space is not an issue
– max memory use test shows +80mb which seems ok
– directory / file permissions are 755 / 644 respectively throughout

And yet, the problem persists…

An additional / presumably related issue: whilst the Super Admin can access all WP Admin areas, including plugin sub-pages. However, the BackupBuddy plugin does NOT show the menu subpages, and entering the URL for those gives that same “you don’t have permissions to access that page” error! Deactivating & deleting it and adding it back via FTP does not resolve that problem.

NB: The underlying problem pre-dates the rebuild, the site now runs:
– BuddyPress / and the Buddy theme,
– Quick Cache
– Stop Spammer Registrations & Confirm User Registration plugin
– User Spam Remover
– Wordfence security
– BuddyPress backup

Any suggestions on how to solve our “permissions” issues would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Ben
