Congrats on the 2.1 update, it rocks. But I do have one minor needle request to make concerning the exposure of user bio information. Even when there is none.

The Symptom:

“Hey Admin dude, I may be incognito and unremarkable, but why draw attention to me like this?”

Cause:

Not checking if the description field in the user profile is empty (user-details.php).

Twentyten’s native bio box code is wrapped in a conditional that calls a hookable function, get_the_author_meta( ‘description’ ). Twentyten defaults to skipping the bio box completely if the user profile ‘description’ field is empty (on both single posts and author archives).
And thanks to the hook, the author of a child theme can also prevent display of this stuff based on any criteria they choose — like, author bio info is shared with logged-in users only.

The bbPress function bbp_get_displayed_user_field() isn’t currently hookable :(, but this whole thing is fixable with 3 or 4 lines of code in a couple of files. It’s not so much a bug as a lapse in coding consistency. Whatever, it’s busting my chops right now. If I didn’t know better, I’d ask for my money back 😉

Could this be put right in the next update? Makes for better consistency with WordPress, imho 🙂

Meanwhile, in other bbPress core-hacking news…

‘I also have a needle about the way author URL construction is similarly unhookable, but that’s for another thread’

When the converter gets to the topics, it stalls and when I check the Apache error log I see this:
[Thu Jul 19 07:46:32 2012] [notice] Parent: child process exited with status 3221225725 — Restarting.
[Thu Jul 19 07:46:33 2012] [notice] Apache/2.2.21 (Win32) PHP/5.3.9 configured — resuming normal operations

Same with default settings or 1000 rows setting. It did about 500 topics and then stalled. It doesn’t look like it’s because of memory, I have 4GB and a 64-bit system (doing this locally). Any tips?

Hello …

I’m using a theme called cheerapp that I purchased from Theme Forest. It has bbpress integrated. When I upgraded to bbpress 2.1, I received a fatal error: “Call to undefined function royal_login() in /wp-content/themes/cheerapp/header.php on line 69”

I found a comment on the theme’s support page from another user saying that he tweaked the functions.php to look like this:

if ( function_exists( 'bbpress' ) ) {
   $bbp = bbpress();

He mentioned that it had to do with the change from $bbp to bbpress().

This change got rid of my fatal error, but since then, whenever I try to click on a forum, it gives me a 404 error. The forums are there in my WordPress admin and it’s pointing to the correct URL, but I’m still getting these page not found errors.

I’m not sure if this is an issue with my theme or an issue with bbPress. I’ve tried to contact the theme creator but he is apparently on some extended vacation or something and isn’t responding to questions, and I’d really like to get my forums up and running again.

Any suggestions? Is there anything inherently bad with the tweak to the code I posted above? Any idea what could be causing those 404 errors?

Thanks in advance for any help you may have … Matt

I’m using bbpress 1.1. I want to get the author profile link in the front page inside the latest topics loop. I’m using topic_author(); but it returns only the author name, not the profile link.
Following returns the profile link in the single post, but it does not display in the frontpage. post_author_title_link();
Please help.

I’m currently working on getting bbPress 2.1 to work with a Premium WP theme I just purchased. Everything appears to be working, but on forum pages the topics don’t show up, even though the forum description says that topics and replies exist. See the image below:

Additionally, on single topic pages, none of the replies show up, even though the description says that replies and voices exist.

I’m not using any template overrides in the WP theme. I can resolve the issue by switching to TwentyTen bbPress, so I’m pretty sure that something in the WP theme is causing the issue, I just have no Idea what it could be.

Any light shed on this would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

When a member of our forum subscribes to a topic they get an email that has the following line:

“You are recieving this email because you subscribed to it. Login and visit the topic to unsubscribe from these emails.”

We would like to have the word “receiving” spelled properly instead of the misspelling you see above.

How can I edit the email so it is not misspelled?

I’ve got a site that uses custom post types, a blog, and ideally forums. However, I’ve found that I can only have two of the three working at a time. Once the forums work, the links to any category page do not work (though the individual post pages do).

the site is www.lamarzoccousa.com with a dev site at www.projectholladay.com/lmusa

This has been bothering me for a while.

Could someone point me to the file with the ‘Remove’ text that’s display on the right of your profile for Favorite Forum Topics? I want to remove it so that it just shows the red ‘x’.

Thanks,

C

I followed the steps exactly from the link above but any changes I make to my my bbPress child theme don’t seem to work.

I have a copy of the files from the twenty-ten theme placed in a new folder inside my template’s child theme. Is there anything else I need to do besides what was mentioned in the link above?

I’m using a WordPress theme that comes together with a bbPress theme, and it obviously doesn’t support the new bbPress version, so the Fancy Editor doesn’t show up at all when I activate it. How can I insert it manually?
