It’s a bug that’s been fixed in the latest version just testing as much as I can before releasing it.

To fix it temporarily please look at my post above, that’s all you have to do.

Ah, forum descriptions right?

Open wp-bulletin-board/php/admin/wpbb-admin-forums.php around line 412 find:

echo $type->description;

Replace with:

echo stripslashes($type->description);

Save and close.

Open wp-bulletin-board/php/wpbb-index.php around line 172 and find:

echo $forum->description;

Replace with:

echo stripslashes($forum->description);

Then whenever you want to use slashes, instead of using \ or / use \\ or //.

I’m not sure if you’ve changed it already but this is what you do:

1. Add this code to your wp-bulletin-board/css/wpbb-light-style.css, preferably at the top:

/* Change the forum title position and color of the slash (/) character here */
h2.wpbb-forum-title {
	text-align:center;
	padding-bottom:10px;
}

/* Change the color of the forum title link here, boldness, etc */
h2.wpbb-forum-title a {
	font-weight:bold;
	color:purple;
}

2. Then in wp-bulletin-board/php/wpbb-index.php around line 126 change “wpbb-centered-bold” to “wpbb-forum-title”

3. Repeat this in wp-bulletin-board/php/wpbb-view-forum.php (around line 26)

4. Repeat this in wp-bulletin-board/php/wpbb-view-forum-topic.php (around line 173)

5. Repeat this in wp-bulletin-board/php/wpbb-view-subforum.php (around line 183)

6. Repeat this in wp-bulletin-board/php/wpbb-view-subforum-topic.php (around line 40)

That should do it. You can edit your forum name in admin dashboard – settings – wpbb settings – forum name.

In the next version that will be released soon you’ll be able to edit individual elements more easily, since most of them use the same css selectors.

Thanks, let me know if you need any more help.

It does. I think the problem you’re having is that another plugin is using the same order ID.

Open wp-bulletin-board/wp-bb.php around line 359 and change the number at the end of that line to a different number until it appears, I think at the moment it’s 27. Change that number and save. Should then work.

Will look into this more to see if anything can be done in to prevent this.

Thanks

1st Post: Check the permissions for the forum you’re having trouble accessing. If you have any problems saving your changes then refresh your roles (WPBB -> Tools -> Refresh Roles).

2nd Post: The “anyone can register” setting in your admin dashboard settings must be ticked to allow facebook registrations.

3rd Post: It should work after you’ve made the above changes and looked over your wpbb and facebook settings again to make sure they are setup correctly. That error message is displayed when you try to login with an account that doesn’t exist, e.g. you provided an incorrect username / password. You must register using facebook before being able to login with facebook and then you can login with wordpress but registering through wordpress does not work the same way. If you registered using facebook and are trying to login using wordpress remember your username will be your facebook name (remember the spaces if any) and the password you entered when you created the account with WPBB.

I noticed you’re using an SMF forum, have you deactivated or removed WPBB? Anyway this is all you have to do:

Open wp-bulletin-board/css/wpbb-light-style.css and find around line 182:

.wpbb-topic-and-post-content {
	min-height: 50px;
	min-width: 500px;
	white-space: pre-line;
}

Replace with:

.wpbb-topic-and-post-content {
	min-height: 50px;
	min-width: 500px;
	white-space: pre-line;
	text-align:left;
}

If you’d be able to display a screenshot of the other parts you wanted aligned differently that’d be great as I’m not 100% sure which part you meant as it all seems to be aligned that way.

Will mark this as resolved but feel free to post here again.

Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply. I’d made an error when checking the author field input.

Please open wp-bulletin-board/php/wpbb-edit-topic.php around line 295 and find:

if (isset($_POST['wpbbpostauthor'])) {
			if (is_numeric($_POST['wpbbpostauthor'])) {
				// Strip all tags from the authors name
				$post_author_name = wp_strip_all_tags($_POST['wpbbpostauthor']);
				// Retrieve ID back from username
				$post_author = wpbb_parse_author_name(NULL, $post_author_name);
			} else {
				$post_author = absnt($_POST['wpbbpostauthor']);
			}
		}

Replace with:

if (isset($_POST['wpbbpostauthor']))
		{
			if (is_numeric($_POST['wpbbpostauthor']))
			{
				$post_author = absint($_POST['wpbbpostauthor']);
			}
			else
			{
				$post_author_name = wp_strip_all_tags($_POST['wpbbpostauthor']);
				$post_author = wpbb_parse_author_name(NULL, $post_author_name);
			}
		}

Thanks for letting me know. Please let me know if you need any further help 🙂

Cheers

No problem glad you got it working! Thanks.
