ok, I think it is because your theme has a search with the same name.

Try this

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/form-search.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/form-search.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of your theme’s

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

The file is form-topic.php

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/form-topic.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/form-topic.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

However the form has an action hook you can link to

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

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

ok, thanks for confirming.

Without spending considerable time testing, why not just take out that entire section for bbpress (and if needed juts put back the bits you want) eg

//* Hook social icons and click here widget areas
 add_action( ‘genesis_after_header’, ‘the_411_extras’, ‘genesis_after_sidebar_widget_area’ );

 function the_411_extras() {
if (!is_bbpress {
if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘social-icons’ ) || is_active_sidebar( ‘click-here’ ) || is_active_sidebar( ‘split-sidebar-left’ ) || is_active_sidebar( ‘split-sidebar-right’ )) {

echo ‘<div class=”site-extras”>’;

genesis_widget_area( ‘social-icons’, array(
 ‘before’ => ‘<div class=”social-icons”>’,
 ‘after’ => ‘</div>’
 ) );

genesis_widget_area( ‘click-here’, array(
 ‘before’ => ‘<div class=”click-here”>’,
 ‘after’ => ‘</div>’
 ) );
 genesis_widget_area( ‘split-sidebar-left’, array(
 ‘before’ => ‘<div class=”split-sidebar-left”>’,
 ‘after’ => ‘</div>’,
 ) );
 genesis_widget_area( ‘split-sidebar-right’, array(
 ‘before’ => ‘<div class=”split-sidebar-right”>’,
 ‘after’ => ‘</div>’,
 ) );

echo ‘</div>’;

}
 

}

}

I’m also not sure why your add action has two functions

add_action( ‘genesis_after_header’, ‘the_411_extras’, ‘genesis_after_sidebar_widget_area’ );

all the coding I have ever done has one, and then maybe some arguments on priority etc.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

can you post a link to a screenshot of where you would like this

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

so did you try it as that, or as
if (is_bbpress( ‘forums’ ) ) {

is_bbpress doesn’t take arguments

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

I tried the If conditional tag on there but it does not seem to work.

do you mean

if (is_bbpress() )…

?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

I’ve just been digging further into the code

There is a filter on topics and replies which looks at posts with a private status, but topics and replies on a private forum don’t have that status UNLESS it is manually set on the admin backend (or imported with that status). So in the normal process they are viewable unless set by a moderator/admin to private within the backend.

So a standard participant should be able to see all topics and replies.

For creating topics and replies the code just looks at ‘publish topics’ and ‘publish replies’ so allows registered users to do this for both public and private forums.

This would then make great sense for then original poster who had imported the forum, so topics and replies were likely to have a post status of private so not viewable by participants.

I don’t know if that helps you understand your circumstances, but hope it explains it better.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

if you just want forums where people can have topics which are discussed, then bbpress will be fine.

Otherwise is you want private messaging and group activity streams, then you may want buddypress, or run bbpress with buddypress.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

we’re probably both insane !

It worked on my test site, but then I do have a lot cooking on there.

back to my code above, can you try

case bbp_get_participant_role() :

in place of the line

case 'bbp_participant':

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

yes if you use bbpress/buddypress, but add my private groups plugin, then you can add groups which can have separate access to some forums, and if wanted common access to others

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-private-groups

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

ok – thanks for that

Having re-read your thread then I think what you want is:

User : Participant
Forum : Private
Should be able to read, publish toics and create replies

which is what bbpress does as default.

Can you confirm that this is what you want, and what is not happening, and if so can you let us know

what theme you are using
what plugins you are using

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

I presume that you are wanting different logged in users to see different things?

If so you can restrict who sees what using my private groups plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

given previous experience of one line questions – can you try and write a bit more about quite what you want to do with bbpress.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

great – please do come back – this can be resolved one way or another !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

ps

I just cribbed this code from elsewhere, so the capabilities may not be the participant ones, you’ll need to check what they should be

bbPress User Roles and Capabilities

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

untested, but this should in theory let you play with the capabilities of the participant role

function add_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role )
{
    /* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
    if( $role == 'bbp_participant' )
        $caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
     return $caps;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'add_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );
 
function custom_capabilities( $role )  {
    switch ( $role )
    { 
        /* Capabilities for 'participant' role */
        case 'bbp_participant':
            return array(
                // Primary caps
                'spectate'              => true,
                'participate'           => true,
                'moderate'              => false,
                'throttle'              => false,
                'view_trash'            => false,

            break;
 
        default :
            return $role;
    }
}

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

ok – that’s great – I think I now understand

loop-single-topic is probably not the right/only place

but within loop single topic, you can get the ID from bbp_topic_id() which will be itself, so no need to call post parent

Replies – that is posts in response to a topic, which is I think what you are after, are handled by loop-single-reply.php

There each reply has an id found by using bbp_reply_id, so you would use something like

$postimage = wp_get_post_parent_id( bbp_reply_id() ); 

in your code above

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

still no clearer on where this code is going, and which thumbnail you are after.. sorry I’d love to help but I’m still not understanding what you are trying to achieve.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

depends exactly where you are putting that code, and which thumbnail you are wanting

get_the_post_thumbnail( $reply_id, $size, $attr );

may well be what you want.

Otherwise come back with where the code is going.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 1 month ago]

I’m not sure that this is in bbpress – it may be that it is in your theme, or your theme is amending bbpress.

Try the following to see if it disappears and to work out what is creating this

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

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 1 month ago]

I’ve just added that capability to one of my existing shortcodes in my style pack plugin, so if you install

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

and then see

Dashhboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes for a description of how to use it in detail, but

[bsp-display-topic-index noreply='true']

used in a page will get you what you want

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 1 month ago]

The correct code would be

[bbp-single-forum id='3569159-2']

but I suspect ‘3569159-2’ is the url not the post ID as post ID are a whole number and what you want

so go to

Dashboard>forums and select all forums

If you hover of ‘edit’ of then forum you want, you’ll see at the bottom left of the screen

url…post.php?post=12345&action=edit

it is the 12345 that you want to put in the shortcode

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 1 month ago]

not quite sure what you are asking?

Do you want to show each forum, and then all topics and replies all on one page?

Please come back and explain further

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 1 month ago]

suspect it is a theme or plugin issue#
