untested, but this should take out newlines and change the excerpt length to 150 – just change the 150 in the code to whatever length you want.

so firstly you need to alter the default in wordpress which is 55 so

add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'rew_change_default_length' ) ;

function rew_change_default_length () {
    return 150;
}

then alter it in the bbpress function, and change to take out line breaks

add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_excerpt' , 'rew_remove_line_breaks', 10 , 3) ;

function rew_remove_line_breaks ($excerpt, $topic_id, $length){
		$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $topic_id );
		//change length here
		$length   = 150 ;
		$excerpt  = get_post_field( 'post_excerpt', $topic_id );

		if ( empty( $excerpt ) ) {
			$excerpt = bbp_get_topic_content( $topic_id );
		}

		$excerpt = trim( strip_tags( $excerpt ) );
		
		//take out line breaks
		$excerpt = preg_replace("/\r|\n/", "", $excerpt);

		// Multibyte support
		if ( function_exists( 'mb_strlen' ) ) {
			$excerpt_length = mb_strlen( $excerpt );
		} else {
			$excerpt_length = strlen( $excerpt );
		}

		if ( ! empty( $length ) && ( $excerpt_length > $length ) ) {
			$excerpt  = mb_substr( $excerpt, 0, $length - 1 );
			$excerpt .= '…';
		}
		
		
		// Filter & return
		return apply_filters( 'rew_get_topic_excerpt', $excerpt, $topic_id, $length );
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

Code Snippets

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

@joel-mohanraj
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

so you will want to take the link out of line 34

<a class="bbp-forum-title" href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_title(); ?></a>

and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

amending the freshness will require you to amend the bbp_get_forum_freshness_link function. if you are familiar with filters you can use the filter on line 585 of \includes\forums and a str_replace to take out the link

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

sorry, not sure which exact part you want to replace.

so is this the links in the forum list of topics? or everywhere or what?

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

if that works, go for it 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

ps – I presume you have a function

groups_join_group but have not shown it for simplicity ?

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

just looked at this – sorry, as you say I don’t get to every item, and this is bespoke code which means something to someone, but without a heavy investment of time, it is hard to debug why it is not working 🙂

the function bbp_add_user_forum_subscription is still valid, and should work fine, so the actual change to the way bbpress works should not affect it.

I have little knowledge of buddypress, so I cannot say whether that code is still valid.

Have you turned debugging on ? and is it showing anything ?

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

there is the ‘unread posts’ part of my style pack plugin, that will advise users on the website of new unread topics, and new unread replies to topics.

once activated go to

you’re welcome 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

link to a live example please

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

this add-on plugin to bbpress does that. Whilst old, it still works

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

Just had a thought and dug in the code further, the duplicate check doesn’t apply to those roles/users that can ‘throttle’

// No duplicate checks for those who can throttle
	if ( user_can( (int) $r['post_author'], 'throttle' ) ) {
		return true;
	}

bbPress User Roles and Capabilities

so default Keymaster and Moderator can post duplicates

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

most 10 year olds can fake a photo ID – there is no real way to verify someone on line 🙂

But if you find or create a mechanism, in the spirit of open software, do come back and let us know

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

I am not a bbpress author, just someone who helps out here.

Every website is unique, and this doesn’t happen on my test site – I have not seen this reported elsewhere as an issue, and the code has a duplicate function check in it.

line 307 of includes/replies/functions

/** Reply Duplicate *******************************************************/

	if ( ! bbp_check_for_duplicate( array( 'post_type' => bbp_get_reply_post_type(), 'post_author' => $reply_author, 'post_content' => $reply_content, 'post_parent' => $topic_id, 'anonymous_data' => $anonymous_data ) ) ) {
		bbp_add_error( 'bbp_reply_duplicate', __( '<strong>Error</strong>: Duplicate reply detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that.', 'bbpress' ) );
	}

I am not able to say why you are getting this.

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

bbpress just uses wordpress registration and login, so you can use any wordpress plugin that would do that.

I googled and got this list

nothing I know of

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

you can switch to a text editor, which looks way better

bbp style pack

once activated go to

item 9

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

this is the ‘tiny mce’ editor that comes bundled with WordPress which bbpress just uses.

from a quick google it doesn’t look that easy to change what is there.

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

I’d be tempted to use the conditional widgets plugin to achieve this, but bear in mind that wordpress’s move to block widgets may limit the lifespan.

It would also be worth asking the theme author since this is a paid theme.

Beyond that, it would be custom development work I suspect

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 10 months ago]

ok, so

I understand from this threat that the layout of search results or topic-tag pages can be customized based on the template files stored in the bbpress/templates/default/bbpress folder.

In order to retain the customization during updates of the bbpress plugin, I have created the same folder structure inside the directory of my child theme (see screenshot).

yes that is correct and should work, BUT you would do better to only copy those templates you are changing/altering – bbpress will then use those you have changed from your child theme directory and use the unchanged from the plugin directory..

so what are users clicking to get the topic tags page ?
