sorry I am confused …I can give you code to go to any url, but unless you create some content for that url, it will 404.

what are you expecting it to do when you click that link ?

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 10 months ago]

add_action( 'bbp_template_after_user_details_menu_items', 'rew_add_item' ); 

function rew_add_item () {
	?>
	<ul>
		<li class="pictures">
			<span class="pictures-link">
				<?php
				$username =  bbp_get_user_nicename(bbp_get_displayed_user_id());
				echo '<a href="http://localhost/projects/wpdev2/forums/users/'.$username.'/my-stories/">Click to show picture</a>' ;
				?>	
			</span>
			</li>
	</ul>
<?php	
}

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 10 months ago]

sorry, I don’t fully understand – the code will take you to any url you want.

do you mean user specific?

or if you got it working in buddypress what code did you use there?

or maybe describe what you want to achieve?

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 10 months ago]

add_action( 'bbp_template_after_user_details_menu_items', 'rew_add_item' ); 

function rew_add_item () {
	?>
	<ul>
		<li class="pictures">
			<span class="pictures-link">
					<a href="https://prnt.sc/wcemvm">Click to show picture</a>
				</span>
			</li>
	</ul>
<?php	
}

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 10 months ago]

ok, so you could use the hook in the standard template to add the item in a plugin

<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_user_details_menu_items' ); ?>

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 10 months ago]

I use w3 total cache on a couple of forum sites

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 10 months ago]

if you mean amend the ‘topics started, relies created’ etc, menu, then this is in the template

\templates\default\bbpress\user-details.php which you can amend and put in a bbpress directory in your child theme

eg…

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php

transfer this to your pc and edit to what you want

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/user-details.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 10 months ago]

sorry, you have the topic form at the top, or the ‘create new topic’ button at the top ?

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 10 months ago]

ok… so I know how to get to

https://www.askwoody.com/forums/users/sb/subscriptions/

but how do you get to https://www.askwoody.com/forums/view/my-subscribed-topics/

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 10 months ago]

hmmm – do you have the form showing at the bottom of the page ?

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 10 months ago]

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

add_action ( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum', 'rew_create_new_topic' ) ;

function rew_create_new_topic () {
	$text='Create New Topic' ;
	if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() && !bbp_is_forum_category() ) {
	$href = '#new-post'  ;
	echo '<div class="rew-new-topic">  <a href ="'.$href.'">'.$text.'</a></div>' ;
	}
}

but you’ll have to work out how to style it yourself I’m afraid !!

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 10 months ago]

in the video there is a popup on the top right of the screen which says something, but the video does not show the whole screen, so I cannot read it, but it appears to be an error message ?

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 10 months ago]

bbpress just uses wordpress login, so

1. how are you creating the bbpress account ?
2. what does ‘I am not able to login’ mean? are you not able to access any of the site, or just the forums?

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 10 months ago]

not precisely what you want, but my style pack plugin has a ‘create new topic’ button which takes then to the form on that page, so achieves most of what you are after

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>buttons

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 10 months ago]

🙂 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 10 months ago]

You are right to be wary of ‘old’ plugins, and not just install without thinking about it, but this one just hooks to stable bbpress code elements.

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 10 months ago]

It still works, many plugins do not have active support, they are written and put out there for others to use if they find them helpful.

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 10 months ago]

ok, not something I’ve played with, as far as I know the bbpress subscriptions only shows subscriptions to bbpress forums and topics.

How are you enabling site subscriptions – is your site wordpess.com or are you using say Jetpack?

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 10 months ago]

and what do you mean by ‘subscriptions from the main blog.’ ?

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 10 months ago]

so how do you get to

https://domain/forums/view/my-subscribed-topics/

is this buddypress ?

not really used any registration plugins so can’t really help further beyond

10 Best WordPress User Registration Plugins to Power Up Your Site

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 10 months ago]

which version of bbpress?

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 10 months ago]

you should note that under the code above, if in

dashboard>users>edit user

you set the forum role to ‘no role for these forums’ it will simply add them back as participant when they next log in

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 10 months ago]

so what is the difference you are seeing ?

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 10 months ago]

you are right ! Looks like it change on 2.6.

It now does it on register

so to change back to how it used to work

in

dashboard>settings>forums untick Automatically give registered visitors…etc

Then 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

add_action('wp_login', 'rew_add_role');

function 'rew_add_role' () {
	$user_id = $user->ID ; 
	$role = bbp_get_user_role( $user_id );
	if (empty($role)) {
		bbp_set_user_role( $user_id, 'bbp_participant' );
	}
}

This code is untested, but should work, if not come back
