I didn’t realise you were trying to do so much
suggest you download my plugin
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-style-pack
and then come back if you still have stuff needed.
I wasn’t aware that it was causing issues, but it came up when I googled your symptoms !
Glad you like the styling crib – I wrote most of it !
To add a description (it will be under the breadcrumbs) use my style plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
and go to
dashboard>settings>forum display and set item 6
to eliminate the blue box out this in your css
div.bbp-template-notice.info {
display: none;
}
but I’ll add this to the next version of style pack which is due out very shortly
ok, I’ve spent several annoying hours trying to work out how to do this, and failed miserably!!
I expect the answer is just a few brief lines of code, and linked to the way bbpress handles both templates and wp-rewrite, but can’t fathom it out in the files
Sorry, but I am having to give up !
Arguing with those trying to help you is probably not the best way forward.
How to do a link is easily googled, but I’ve put one in here that you can add to the template
<li>
<span class="vcard bbp-user-profile-link">
<a class="url fn n" href="www.mysite.com/read-this" title="read this">Read this</a>
</span>
</li>
that depends.
Can you outline exactly what you are aiming for eg I want a picture of fred to appear when they click a link saying ‘fred’
@deeve007 – it’s doable, but you’ll need to do some coding.
The key file you want is
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php
so
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
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php
Make a copy of this file, 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
and you can amend this
you’ll see the tabs in this file.
Do come back with what you are trying to do if you need further help
No problem – glad you’re fixed !
less shouty with the title, and a little bit of patience would be great !
bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
You may need to juggle a bit, but my Private Groups plugin filters forums for specific groups
so a user belongs to a group or groups
Forums belong to a group or groups
users can see forums of the same group or groups.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
Post a topic on that plugins support desk if you need coding help
sorry the code is/was untested.
Try this with a correction
function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role1'] = array(
'name' => 'vip',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );
if tyoun just want a role called VIP with participant capabilities, then undo whatever you did above, and then put this in your functions file
function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
$bbp_roles[''my_custom_role1'] = array(
'name' => 'vip',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );
Bbpress uses the wordpress login, so they will have single signon.

you should have forums, topics and replies in the dashboard.
If not come back
It works fine on my test and live sites !
rant is fine – I am just a user of the software expressing an opinion 🙂
bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id )
bbp_get_reply_author_id()
If you use
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
you can set up groups and have different access levels
not really sure that if you don’t want to use my widgets I can help further. By all mean put up a post suggesting improvements though
ok.
I am the author of the private groups plugin, which I wrote to get over the limitations of bbpress. I have no relationship to bbpress, and can only work with what bbpress gives me, hence we end up with something that is ‘public’ and then using a plugin to make it private.
…so those Activities are showing up in widgets and shortcode locations and archives as public information
In the private groups plugin there are shortcodes and widgets that work with my plugin to hide stuff, go into
Dashboard>settings>bbp private groups
and look at the ‘widget warning’ and ‘shortcode warning’ tabs you will see the replacements.
