Users Can't Login To BBPRESS

Published on February 13th, 2015 by ryanlovestheory

Hello,
I need help like something fierce.

I have installed the bbpress plugin and ensured that both the plugin and wordpress are both running the most updated versions.

The issue I am having is that registered users can not login on the front end of my wordpress site. The login widget looks like it functions properly, however, when users login with their credentials, it never actually logs them in on the front end. Please help me.

Reply Form within popup

Published on February 12th, 2015 by eVersatile

Hello,
I have been tinkering around with this trying to get it to work, wondering if anyone knew if it is possible or how to add the <?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘form’, ‘reply’ ); ?> line within a popup rather than on the topic page. I don’t want it on a separate page and have to choose which topic to link it to. I want to be able to click a button on the topic page in order to easily leave a reply on that topic. It can not be implanted on a separate page either calling onto a specific topic. It must be automatically generated when a new topic is created.
Any ideas or wisdom?
Thank you,
David

Custom Roles & Capabilities

Published on February 12th, 2015 by kc9wwh

Hello Everyone,

So I’ve been working to get some custom permissions setup for our site and are running into some issues…I’ve followed the document located here and in turn have added the following code to my functions.php file in my child theme:

//code to add members and board roles
 
function add_new_roles( $bbp_roles )
{
    /* Add a role called member */
    $bbp_roles['bbp_member'] = array(
        'name' => 'Member',
        'capabilities' => custom_capabilities( 'bbp_member' )
        );
 
    /* Add a role called board */
    $bbp_roles['bbp_board'] = array(
        'name' => 'Board Member',
        'capabilities' => custom_capabilities( 'bbp_board' )
        );
 
    return $bbp_roles;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_new_roles', 1 );
 
function add_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role )
{
    /* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
    if( $role == 'bbp_member' )
        $caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
 
    if( $role == 'bbp_board' )
        $caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
 
    return $caps;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'add_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );
 
function custom_capabilities( $role )
{
    switch ( $role )
    {
 
        /* Capabilities for 'Member' role */
        case 'bbp_member':
            return array(

                // Topic caps
                'publish_topics'        => true,
                'edit_topics'           => true,
                'edit_others_topics'    => true,
                'delete_topics'         => true,
                'delete_others_topics'  => true,
                'read_private_topics'   => true,
 
                // Reply caps

                'edit_others_replies'   => true,
                'delete_replies'        => true,
                'delete_others_replies' => true,
                'read_private_replies'  => true,
 
                // Topic tag caps
                'manage_topic_tags'     => true,
                'edit_topic_tags'       => true,
                'delete_topic_tags'     => true,
                'assign_topic_tags'     => true,
            );
 
            break;
 
        default :
            return $role;
    }
}

The problem I am running into is that the bbp_member role can’t seem to read and private topics, even though I have that capability set to true…? The bbp_board role works just as expected and in playing with the bbp_member role it seems to come down to the “moderate” capability…which I really don’t want on for our regular members.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

I have the latest versions of WP, bbPress and BuddyPress installed.

Thank you

Moving Forums Root to sub page

Published on February 11th, 2015 by Joe Dostie

Hello all,

I have been going through the threads and I am sure this has come up but I just cant find it…

I would like to have the forums in a child page but I cant seem to find any documentation on it.

Everything I see shows bbPress being used like this:
Home > forums…

But is it possible to do

Home > Page > forums…

I was partially successfully by changing the settings of forums root to “page\forums” and that made the “Create New Forums” work but the breadcrumbs ended up not working.

I guess before I get to deep into my troubleshooting I will just first ask the question if bbPress is absolutely required to be at the top level?

Cant get a banner to show up on top of my forum pages.

Published on February 11th, 2015 by vikingpoker

Using bbpress 2.5.4, wordpress 4.1, buddypress 2.2 www.new.stonemagegames.com

I just started learning all of this so please be patient with me. How come when I make a new forum and it brings up the new page where I can place an image, the image does not appear on the forum page when I click on the forum? I do not understand why this is so complicated. All I want is a banner on the top of the forum page. That’s it. Nothing more… nothing less… I haven’t found any way to do this or make it work. I dont know the proper terminology to use when searching for answers so I am completely lost. I have watched youtube videos and read many posts. My head is about to explode!!!

I made a page and threw it up in the top menu that says forums. It has a picture on it. My forums are on the side bar and they work fine. Why would they even bother giving me a page to upload media when I create a new forum if it wont even display it? It doesn’t make sense.

So then I tried using widgetlogic. I have entered every code I can find and nothing makes it display on the page that I put the banner on. All that happens is that my forum list disappears from the sidebar.

Please tell me that i’m just an idiot and I am overlooking something stupid and simple. Please tell me that it is not this complicated just to have a banner on the top of my forum pages. Please HELP!!!

no topics found

Published on February 11th, 2015 by caraeseekell

I have entered some topics and posts (see http://demo.vintageracecar.com/forums/forum/forum/)

However, when I click the topic to see the posts, I get an error that reads: Oh bother! No topics were found here!

The posts are open, public.

Also, would like to change that “oh bother” to something less “cutesy”.

Can you help?
