How to get author Avatar only

Published on February 6th, 2013 by nadir

I’m working on converting a BuddyPress Forums based theme to one that will support bbPress. It’s been a nightmare trying to match up template functions between buddypress and bbPress!

I’m stuck though … I am trying to pull in the author’s avatar only. The following gets me a small version of the avatar + author name:

`printf( __( ‘Creator: %1$s’, ‘bbpress’ ), bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( ‘size’ => ’14’ ) ) );`

However, I’m only interested in the author’s avatar. How do I go about it?

Thank you

I placed the login shortcode on this page. The boxes don’t seem to be lining up correctly. The register shortcode looks fine. Any suggestions?

Have deleted forums URL in admin-section

Published on February 6th, 2013 by Robert Mathews

Hello all,
unfortunately I deleted the URL address to the bbPress forum that we use, in the administrator section in bbPress, in an attempt to temporarily deactivate our forum.
Unfortunately noone can log in or access the forum now.

Is there any remedy for that? Can we reactivate our forum?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Kind regards

phpBB magic URLs fix?

Published on February 6th, 2013 by wisemonkey

Hi

I have done a search here, but nothing seems to come up.
I have installed BBpress/BuddyPress and migrated a small phpBB forum on my site http://www.wisemonkeysblog.com but the phpBB shortened URLs (and actually all the phpBB shortcodes) didn’t convert. I have tried to use a couple of plugins (eg bbPress2 BBCode ) to no avail.

I notice that the actual URL is still there in the markup, so I have converted a few of them manually…but there must be a better way. A plugin or a SQL fix perhaps.

Does anyone know of such fix?

TIA
fernando

Closed topics cannot be viewed / disappear

Published on February 6th, 2013 by ssmedia

Hi,

I’m having a very strange problem with bbpress.

I’m using the lastest version of WordPress and bbpress and I created a super stick topic. These are just rules and guidelines so I closed it to replies. I can see it in the category forum page such as this (http://causepages.com/sw/forum/health-insurance-finance/) when logged in as a user but when I actually click into it, it’s not shown. (I just get my sidebar).

Can anyone help with this please?

Can't Edit Replies

Published on February 6th, 2013 by rklockner

The setup:
1 site that is a WordPress/bbPress Forum site.
1 site that is a pay (non-Wordpress) forum site that is answered by industry professionals.

When a question is answered by a pro in the pay site, I run a series of insert statements that adds the topic/reply to the WordPress site.

All works as planned with one exception. I can’t edit any of the replies (I can edit topics).

When I click to edit the reply, it brings up the page to edit. I make the desired change and hit Post. It takes me right back to the same edit page with my changes still in tact. However, as soon as you leave the page and attempt to view the changes in the forum, all work has been lost.

I should also note that I did not build the WordPress site, so I don’t know if there are any errors being suppressed, or some other scenario (I don’t know where I would turn these on either).

Any thoughts?

How to use different custom template for user pages than other bbpress pages

Published on February 6th, 2013 by Shashank Shekhar

Hello,
As per bbpress doc I found by default it uses page.php in wordpress theme to render all its contents. But since I have to use different template with a different sidebar and widgets I created forum.php copied from page.php in my wp-theme and luckily it worked. Dont know why its not mentioned in bbpress docs. Also, forums.php working fine, so I am in more doubt which file naming conventions is correct. Is it something missed to mention in bbpress docs? Please let me know.

Further, for the bbpress user pages, like profile, edit profile, topic started etc. I need to use a custom template file in my theme. In bbpress templates as per documentation, I have checked all user templates inside are just contains the content part only not including header, footer, sidebar etc. And by default it also renders by page.php.

How can I make a custom user template file other than page.php or forum.php which control all user related contents, so that I can have different template for forum or other pages?

Suggestion:
BBpress should have capability to use different template files for different kind of pages, or their should be settings in bbpress admin to select which template to use for what kind of pages.
This is somewhat, wp-members, woocommerce and other plugins do for better integration in wordpress. These plugins have the ability to create different pages in admin editor having selected particular template to render and putting inside their shortcodes to render various types of contents. And also have the settings in their admin to set different pages/template for different stuff.

Please let me know if this possible with bbpress 2.2.4 with wp 3.5.1 currently.
If not possible please let me know how I can achieve the effect, with some sample custom code hints. Currently I dont need help to create bbpress admin side settings dropdown etc., becoz these are the thing I mentioned as suggestions to make bbpress better theme compatible.
Right now, just need help how to use different template for user pages than other forum pages.


Thanks
Shashank

How to delete posts from "anonymous"?

Published on February 6th, 2013 by jessecarllane

I did search this forum for an answer with no luck. Some user named “anonymous” posted spam about snoring on my ElectricityClub.org forum. No such user to delete! My admin account sees no way to delete the post either! The forum settings have the anonymous setting unchecked like it should be. I have all the latest updated plugs. How to I get rid of the current user and post and prevent such intrusions in the future?
