bbPress.org

Using the following code, when I select Outfit Leader as the bbpress role, it displays ‘Member’ where it used to say ‘Keymaster’ on a forums post under the bbp-author-role class tag.

	function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
 
	$bbp_roles['my_custom_role1'] = array(
	'name' => 'Outfit Leader',
	'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() )
	);
	$bbp_roles['my_custom_role2'] = array(
	'name' => 'Chief of Staff',
	'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() ) 
	);
	$bbp_roles['my_custom_role3'] = array(
	'name' => 'Executive Officer',
	'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() ) 
	);
	return $bbp_roles;
	}
	add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );

Expected functionality: Custom Roles would replace the name of the role they are getting capabilities from. So in this case each forums topic by this user would have their avatar, name below that, role name below that, and finally IP address below that.

Hello Everyone,
I have set up my forums and now trying to get some topics posted.

I am looking for a few forum owners to help each other to generate some initial traffic on our forums by posting topics on each other’s forums. This will be a win-win collaboration.

Please let me know if anyone is interested so we can discuss this further.

Thanks,
CKing

May you help me to solve this problem ?

After clicking on register button wp shows wp-login.php page but without login form. Only -1 in upper left corner.

I have the latest RC of bbpress, trying to import from a phpbb 3.2.0 install. I have reset it and started it and reset it and started it and no matter what I do, it starts with “no users to import” and then it imports thousands of forums/topics all assigned to anonymous.

Is there a way to only import users at first and once it successfully does it, then do the normal import of the forums/topics and so forth?

Or is there a common issue that has been found with importing users that can be fixed by adjusting something in the source database (or…something)?

Hi, I don’t actually own the site but trying to help solve this problem.
The topics on their forum remain in the same place(staying in order of creation). When someone posts in a previous topic no longer moves to the top.

Any idea what would cause this?
Thanks

Hey all, we’re having trouble with bbpress replies, and we can’t seem to figure out what the issue is.

Everything works fine except when a normal “subscriber” level user tries to reply to his own post in the bbpress forum. The “subscriber” level has some additional permissions that we’ve added in using the User Role editor plugin. If he tries to reply to his own post, he gets this error message:

“ERROR: You do not have permission to reply.”

He can create posts, reply to other posts, but just not his own. I’ve tested this with our test account, and the same thing happens with the test account.

We are using the User Role Editor plugin, and our developer has checked the settings but they seem to be correct.

Our next plan is to create a new role in WP, with the same capabilities as the custom “subscriber” level. Wondering if any of you have had this experience, or have suggestions for what we should try.

Hi,

Wrong count shows on members listing page

How I correct it??

I finally had enough with phpbb and installed a wordpress JUST for my forums. I installed bbpress in it and have been trying to import the forums over. First it kept erroring saying missing table fields or whatever, so I kept adding the table fields to the areas of the phpbb’s sql DB where it was looking for them..then it got stuck with the “Starting Conversion” and a spinning wheel. Everytime I had chosen “Start Over” I would get the “Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes” error. Just not my day I guess. 🙁

I had a few questions…

1) Does the importer not support 3.2.0? I figured it does by now since it states phpBB 3.x
2) Can you make the main index page of the WordPress site the forums? This way the wordpress is for nothing other than the forums? (once things do get working…)
3) Am I missing anything lol…I’m rackin my mind on this and it’s driving me nuts 🙂

I can’t wait to be in a better environment for the forums…

Hello
I am trying to use bbPress for a forum and when I use the short code to generate the index it does not show correctly. It does show a link (http://localhost/my-app/wordpress/forums/forum/wvv-forums/)for the index and if I click on the link it shows a better formatted list.

I have 4 sub-forums and instead of 1 per line, it shows 2 per line. Using Twenty Seventeen and have previewed with sixteen and fifteen themes, too with no effect.

What do I need to do to fix this?

Thanks in advance.
