do you see topics and replies in the dashboard

If so are you a keymaster – see dashboard>users and list users, you will see what bbpress roles everyone has. Only Keymasters get forums in the dashboard

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 4 months ago]

so can you post the exact code you tried, and say where you put it

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 4 months ago]

ok, try this

add_filter ('bbp_get_time_since' , 'rew_time_since_translate' ) ;
		
	
	function rew_time_since_translate ($output) {
		$output = preg_replace('/years/', 'new word', $output);
		$output = preg_replace('/year/', 'new word', $output);
		$output = preg_replace('/days/', 'new word', $output);
		$output = preg_replace('/day/', 'new word', $output);
		
		return $output ;
	}

so change ‘new word’ in each case for what you want to show

you can add as many lines as you need, but always do the plural first so ‘years’ followed by ‘year’

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

ok, thanks that is useful feedback re the troubleshooting tool, so thanks for letting me know.

So yes I would suggest it was a plugin activation/load order issue.

glad you are fixed 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 4 months ago]

In bbpress 2.6.x the date freshness format has changed.
If your translation has not been updated this will still display in English.

install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Freshness Display

and you will be able to enter translations there

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 4 months ago]

ok, so you are not seeing topic, replies and forums in the dashboard with just bbpress active and a default theme such as twenty twenty – yes ?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 4 months ago]

ok, can you see what bbpress level you are

dashboard>users>and select yourself – you should show as ‘keymaster’ to see the dashboard items

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 4 months ago]

bbpress just uses wordpress.

I’d suggest 2 things

1. test using an email tester eg

WP Test Email

2. get details of your SMTP email configuration form your host and use

WP Mail SMTP by WPForms

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 4 months ago]

great – glad you are fixed 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 4 months ago]

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 4 months ago]

make your top level a ‘category’ and the forums members of that category.

then no one can post in the category, but can in a forum that is a sub-forum to that category

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 4 months ago]

🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 4 months ago]

bbpress just uses wordpress login, so anything that works for wordpress will also work for bbpress

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 4 months ago]

I’m not a bbpress author, but many find the widget useful

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 4 months ago]

what plugin are you using to get the ‘upvotes’ ?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 4 months ago]

bbpress just uses wordpress registration and login, so anything that works for wordpress registration will be fine.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 4 months ago]

can you confirm this is the same on multiple devices and multiple browsers?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 4 months ago]

purplep’s instructions are for version 1 of bbpress which was 7 years ago

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 5 months ago]

you would I think do better amending the files that display the forum

the hierarchy for these is

SINGLE FORUM

bbpress 2.6.6\templates\default\bbpress\content-single-forum.php
lists sub forums (if needed) using loop-forums.php
calls
loop-topics.php
calls
form topic.php

bbpress 2.6.6\templates\default\bbpress\loop-topics.php
does topic list headers

calls loop-single-topic.php

bbpress 2.6.6\templates\default\bbpress\loop-single-topic.php
lists each topic in the forum, last post and freshness

lists topic content.php

My standard text for how to amend bbpress template files is below with loop-single-reply.php as an example

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

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-reply.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Display

item 6

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 5 months ago]

without knowing how you are set up, I cannot answer, and as I say I cannot visit your site to see where the login is.

but try dashboard>permalimks and just click save – this resets the permalinks and may help.

Otherwise where are your users logging in ? a page, or widget and if so what shortcode for the page or what widget?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 5 months ago]

sorry, I cannot see your site as it is protected, and I do not understand your question.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 5 months ago]

you might also post this in buddypress support, as that filter is a buddypress one

https://buddypress.org/support/

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 5 months ago]

@mike80222 looking again, your code might need

$subscription = $event->get_data();
$user = $subscription->user();
$user_id = something more to get the ID ;

but I’d suggest you raise a ticket or look through the documentation.

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 5 months ago]

BOTH

You will need to test the below, as I don’t use either plugin on any forum site.

PM PRO

for PMpro you have the following hooks :

Action and Filter Hooks

I am guessing that pmpro_membership_post_membership_expiry is the correct hook.

so the code you need is :

add_action( 'pmpro_membership_post_membership_expiry', 'rew_remove_subscriptions') ;

function rew_remove_subscriptions ($user_id=0) {
	$forums = bbp_get_user_subscribed_forum_ids ($user_id) ;
	foreach ($forums as $forum=>$id) {
		bbp_remove_user_subscription ($user_id, $id, 'post' ) ;
	}
	$topics = bbp_get_user_subscribed_topic_ids ($user_id) ;
	foreach ($topics as $topic=>$id) {
	bbp_remove_user_subscription ($user_id, $id , 'post' ) ;
	}
}

MEMBERPRESS

for Memberpress you have the following links

https://docs.memberpress.com/article/325-action-hooks-in-memberpress

I am guessing that ‘mepr-event-subscription-stopped`

is the correct one, but you might need to query with memberpress

so for memberpress you would have

add_action( 'mepr-event-subscription-stopped', 'rew_remove_subscriptions') ;

function rew_remove_subscriptions ($event) {
	$subscription = $event->get_data();
	$user_id = $subscription->user();
	$forums = bbp_get_user_subscribed_forum_ids ($user_id) ;
	foreach ($forums as $forum=>$id) {
		bbp_remove_user_subscription ($user_id, $id, 'post' ) ;
	}
	$topics = bbp_get_user_subscribed_topic_ids ($user_id) ;
	foreach ($topics as $topic=>$id) {
	bbp_remove_user_subscription ($user_id, $id , 'post' ) ;
	}
}

BOTH
