Hello all,

I somehow broke the page layout of my topic index and topic pages. The sidebar should be on the right, but it looks like WordPress is drawing the gray line separator on the left of the page, and pushing all the sidebar content to the bottom. Example: https://www.parentifact.org/forums/forum/questions/

I thought this was due to some code I put in the style.css and functions.php to style my archive pages, but I removed that code and it’s still messed up. Has anyone experienced this before, or could someone more knowledgeable look at the source and developer tools to figure out what’s going wrong here?

Thanks!

Hello,
I created a page on the site with the shortcode

and a custom title.
I have a problem with the breadcumbs (which I yet have on my site, implemented with the SEO YOAST plugin).

When I navigate through categories and forums, starting from the index page, breadcumbs works properly. When I open a topic, the root path of the forum disappears.

I’ll explain better:

the root page is http://www.apesca.it/forum
Breadcumb: Home »Forum

Within the category “Benvenuto – Presentazioni”…
Breadcumb: Home » Forum » Benvenuto – Presentazioni

I’m in the forum “Mi Presento”…
Breadcumb: Home » Forum » Benvenuto – Presentazioni » Mi presento

I’m in the topic “Ciao a Tutti” …
Breadcumb: Home » Benvenuto – Presentazioni » Mi presento » Ciao a Tutti

What i want to get is:
Home » Forum » Benvenuto – Presentazioni » Mi presento » Ciao a Tutti

I hope you can help me.

Just installed BBPress, and see that the editor is barebones html.

I’ve learned from this codex page that the visual editor is disabled by default – so I added the code snippet to my functions file, but no effect at all. Added TinyMCE Advance plugin, no effect at all.

What could be wrong?

(note: I see all sorts of references to “enable fancy WP editor” in older posts here, but can’t find that setting)

WP 4.8.3
BBpress: 2.5.14

Hi,

Our site tyndale.edu is having an issue since one of the latest updates. Our pages that require a login widget no longer work correctly and simply display shortcode to the users on the screen. We use DreamPress through Dreamhost and they have not found a solution. We’re running WP 4.8.3 and BBPress Version 2.5.14. DreamHost support made this comment,”The page is using shortcode but functions.php should be picking it up but is not”. If you use the wayback machine and choose Feb. of this year everything works perfectly! unfortunately I don’t have any backups that go that far.
You can see examples of the problem on these pages: https://www.tyndale.edu/students/open/
and https://www.tyndale.edu/students/library/galaxie-journal/

Any ideas?

Hi, when WooCommerce is off the BBpress plugin works right.

But when WooCommerce is on.

I go to login to my forum and it redirects me to the user dashboard of WooCommerce. Plus the BBPress toolbar no longer will appear at the top so people can’t see the links to their profile and forums.

Please take a look I can figure out what the issue is. Thank you for your time.

Hi

some of the groups on our site are getting quite busy. We are getting regular complaints from group admin users, that they can’t organize their forums into subforums etc. Without that, forums kind of spin out of control with no organization.

We can create subforums for them, but it’s a bit time consuming.

If group admins are creating those forums along with their groups, surely there is a way that those users can create subforums too?

If anyone has any info or feedback on this it would be very appreciated, thanks 🙂

WP version: 4.8.2
BBPress version: 2.5.13

Right now if a new topic is posted, members subscribed to the forum get an email saying that there is a new topic and then the *entire* post.

I want people to visit the site, so I want them to only see an *excerpt* (say the first 50 words) of the post and then a link to see the rest…

Is there a way to edit the email structure?

Thanks in advance.

I’ve been fighting with how to enable the Topics CPT for all users in the dashboard and not having a great time. I thought I could, perhaps, filter the CPT registration to change the CPT caps and show_ui settings, but no luck.

Even when I am able to get the Topics CPT to display for all users by commenting out the lines noted below as a test:

// Register Topic content type
register_post_type(
	bbp_get_topic_post_type(),
	apply_filters( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', array(
		'labels'              => bbp_get_topic_post_type_labels(),
		'rewrite'             => bbp_get_topic_post_type_rewrite(),
		'supports'            => bbp_get_topic_post_type_supports(),
		'description'         => __( 'bbPress Topics', 'bbpress' ),
		// 'capabilities'        => bbp_get_topic_caps(),
		// 'capability_type'     => array( 'topic', 'topics' ),
		'menu_position'       => 999999999999,
		'has_archive'         => ( 'forums' === bbp_show_on_root() ) ? bbp_get_topic_archive_slug() : false,
		'exclude_from_search' => true,
		'show_in_nav_menus'   => false,
		'public'              => true,
		// 'show_ui'             => current_user_can( 'bbp_topics_admin' ),
		'can_export'          => true,
		'hierarchical'        => false,
		'query_var'           => true,
		'menu_icon'           => ''
	)
) );

Things still don’t completely work. Users can technically create a post, but can’t save the Forum in which the post is created.

The short of it is: I want users with the Participant Forum Role to be able to see the Topics CPT in the dashboard so they can create their posts here, mainly because it would be helpful for them to be able to Preview a topic before posting it. Out of the box, the front-end bbPress form does not allow for post previews.

Has anyone achieved this?

Using:
WP 4.8.3
bbPress 2.5.14

Hi folks, after accidently creating a log an struggeling to get it out of the database again, i wondered, how i can make the checkbox for the revision log unchecked by default.

Thanks in advance

Hi
I need your feedback on how to save space with bbpress in bp group forums. What methods do you use?

My ideas so far:

-Have subscribe role & author role keymasters and allow only authors to create forums in their groups. Seems easy to implement with a conditional in the bbpress creation template.

-Set a limit to topic creation, e.g. 100 topics. Is this technically possible?
Otherwise set 100 topics/page and hide the pagination links so only the first page is visible. This will force the group keymaster to always delete some topics so that newer ones can be visible.

-Delete old topics automatically or close automatically inactive topics and then delete them from the site admin dashboard. Any idea how to do that?

-Set a twitter-style limit to the topic & replies, e.g only 300 caracters. Is that possible?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
