Topics not showing, and when they appear, their text does not

Published on March 2nd, 2015 by manuelraigada

Hi there!

I’m using Enfold theme and I recently downloaded BBPress to use it on my site.

However, BBPress doesn’t seem to be working properly. Whenever I create a new topic, the page gives me a 404 error. Then its title appears listed in the parent forum, but the content of the topic (the main content of the topic) does not appear. I only get the box to reply the topic.

Could you guys please give me a hand? Thanks in advance!

Group forum

Published on March 2nd, 2015 by alaskanbob

This is a new current installation of WordPress, Buddypress and bbPress

I’ve created two forums. one group forum and one non-group forum. Both show up on the forum index at *.com/forums/

The non-group test forum works fine. Clicking on the index test forum link goes to *.com/forums/forum/test-forum/ the topic link goes to *.com/forums/topic/test-topic/

The group forum isn’t working. Clicking on the index group forum link just returns to *.com/forums/

However when I mouseover the link it shows *.com/groups/accessible-woodworking/forum/

I can go directly to the topic in the group forum at *.com/groups/accessible-woodworking/forum/topic/accessible-woodworking-test-topic/

I’m thinking it has something to do with the setting for the Group Forum root, but I don’t know how to change it.

Any and all suggestions welcome. Thank you in advance.

Remove Forum Boxes – See Inside for Screenshot

Published on March 1st, 2015 by Alice Kaye

Hi guys!

I was wondering if it was possible to remove the info boxes from within forums. One of which announces how many topics have been created recently, with an avatar, and the other says “You can use BBCodes to format your content,” etc. etc, though that may be something from a plugin (for all I know).

Example: http://screencast.com/t/zo2nX63Q

Any help, especially on the blue box at the top, is so, so appreciated! Thanks!

phpbb3.1.3 to bbPress – Installation database error

Published on March 1st, 2015 by jdhancock

WordPress version: 4.1.1
bbPress version: 2.5.4
phpBB forum version: 3.1.3

I’m running into an issue trying to import a phpBB forum into bbPress. I’ve checked and rechecked my database information/login. I have the correct table prefix for what the old database is using. I’m getting the following error when I press start:

WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘users.user_website’ in ‘field list’]
SELECT convert(users.user_id USING “utf8”) AS user_id,convert(users.user_password USING “utf8”) AS user_password,convert(users.user_form_salt USING “utf8”) AS user_form_salt,convert(users.username USING “utf8”) AS username,convert(users.user_email USING “utf8”) AS user_email,convert(users.user_website USING “utf8”) AS user_website,convert(users.user_regdate USING “utf8”) AS user_regdate,convert(users.user_aim USING “utf8”) AS user_aim,convert(users.user_yim USING “utf8”) AS user_yim,convert(users.user_icq USING “utf8”) AS user_icq,convert(users.user_msnm USING “utf8”) AS user_msnm,convert(users.user_jabber USING “utf8”) AS user_jabber,convert(users.user_occ USING “utf8”) AS user_occ,convert(users.user_interests USING “utf8”) AS user_interests,convert(users.user_sig USING “utf8”) AS user_sig,convert(users.user_from USING “utf8”) AS user_from,convert(users.user_avatar USING “utf8”) AS user_avatar FROM phpbb_users AS users LIMIT 0, 100

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

bbpress search topics – results

Hello,

I need to edit “Search Results” text on /view/search/?s= from my bbpress search topics widget. bbPress is not translated well in my language (czech), so I need to edit core files.

Can anybody help?

Newly imported from phpbb – latest post problem

Published on March 1st, 2015 by pimark

Pretty strange one imho. I’ve been working on porting an existing site from phpbb
over to wordpress/bbpress. While going through a final test of the port I’ve come across the following problem. Namely when in forums where you can see the latest post (along side the forum name), the name of the latest post plus its time/date are totally incorrect, however the url actually links to the correct latest post.

See: wp.photographyireland.net/forums to see.

I’ve retried all the usual recalculates etc… I have tested the port in the past and didn’t have this issue. Can anyone advise or at worst provide me with a sql updates statement to correct?

I don’t want to do the port for real if I’m going to run into this again. Tbh I do find that the import from phpbb can be a tad bit flaky at time…

Cheers

Add Custom User Roles

Published on February 28th, 2015 by Alice Kaye

Hi everyone,

I’m working on creating some custom user roles and I was wondering if I could get assistance with it, because the code I modified kind of killed my site (so I took it out and it’s working fine again).

I’m running a guild website, so we have specific titles (in order from left to right for hierarchy):
Advisor (Keymaster) > Councilman (Moderator) > Artisan (Moderator) > Adept (Participant) > Journeyman (Participant) > Craftsman (Participant) > Apprentice (Participant)

I was trying to follow this guide: https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/

/* bbPress Custom Roles */
function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
 
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role1'] = array(
'name' => 'Apprentice',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role2'] = array(
'name' => 'Craftsman',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role3'] = array(
'name' => 'Journeyman',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role4'] = array(
'name' => 'Adept',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role5'] = array(
'name' => 'Artisan',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() ) // the same capabilities as keymaster
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role6'] = array(
'name' => 'Councilman',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() ) // the same capabilities as keymaster
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role7'] = array(
'name' => 'Advisor',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() ) // the same capabilities as keymaster
);
return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );
/* bbPress Custom Roles */

Can someone tell me where I might have gone wrong?

Thanks in advance! 😀
