1. create a page
2. put one of these two shortcodes in it

[bbp-topic-form] – Display the ‘New Topic’ form where you can choose from a drop down menu the forum that this topic is to be associated with.
 [bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id] – Display the ‘New Topic Form’ for a specific forum ID.

3. add the page to your menu

I’ve been mulling this over…

I don’t think the following will work, but it’s worth an initial try – add this to your functions file

function bsp_breadcrumbs ($args) {
	$pre_current_text = $args['current_text'] ;
	$args['current_text'] = '[glossary_exclude]'.$pre_current_text.'[/glossary_exclude]' ;
	return $args ;
}

//add the filter 
add_filter('bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'bsp_breadcrumbs');

Let me know either way !

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

I would like to suggest for a future update that either the word ‘recommended’ should be removed from there or an additional line should be added explaining why is that recommended.

agree it would be good to know !

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

only admins get those options, particiapants don’t get these

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

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

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

from what and why?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

but this issue was present before activating bbPress.

uh? not sure how you can have an issue with forum software before it is installed.

I presume you went through

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/before-posting/

and if so did it identify the theme as the issue or a plugin?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

not sure there is an answer !

@netweb – do you know why?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

what bbpress role does the person have? if admin, and they see the ip address in replies, you could put the email under this using

add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_author_admin_details', 'rew_show_email') ;

function rew_show_email () {
$user_id_rew = bbp_get_reply_author_id () ;
$user_info_rew = get_userdata($user_id_rew);
$email = $user_info_rew->user_email;
echo 'Email: '.$email ;
}

put this in your functions file

https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

If I understand you correctly you want to amend a file in

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/

The easiest way is to copy the relevant file to your child theme

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress and copy the file there eg

wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-forums.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

You can also add a location – for instance within a plugin I use I add a location using :

add_action( 'bbp_register_theme_packages', 'bsp_register_plugin_template1' );

//get the template path
function bsp_get_template1_path() {
	return BSP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/templates/templates1';
}

function bsp_register_plugin_template1() {
	bbp_register_template_stack( 'bsp_get_template1_path', 12 );
}

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

Sorry, I still have no idea what ‘integration’ looks like to you, and without knowing what you wish to change, then I cannot help

Template do functionality for a major part, I suspect that changes you are after are css.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

ah, now I can see what you mean.

Yes that’s buddypress not bbpress – try their support forum

https://buddypress.org/support/

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

hmm.. The only way I can immediately think of is to modify loop-topics

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

so in that file you will see

<?php while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic(); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-topic' ); ?>

		<?php endwhile; ?>

you would need to check with forum the user is in and then custom display

so something like – you’d need to write the code – this is just words !

<?php 
	if (forum == the one you want to change) {
		then make an array of the ID, and then cycle through them
		foreach ($topics as $topic) {
		bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-topic' );
		}
	}
	else { ?>
		<?php while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic(); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-topic' ); ?>

		<?php endwhile; ?>
	<?php } ?>

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

which of the files …I should be using to customize the bbPress topic page…which file name I should rename it to

You’ll need to say what customisation you want to do, as that will affect my answer, if you can detail what you are after, I’ll try to help, but I do need details as I said above. I’m not trying to be awkward, just trying to help !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

Yes you can use the private groups plugin to set up different groups that can see different forums

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

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

@aeneas1 I don’t think that plugin should be hosted on wordpress plugins, and I’ve asked the plugin review team to see if it violates the plugin rules.

There is an import phpbb in the bbpress software – I think you may have seen it

Dashboard>tools>forums and you can select phpbb – did you have an issue with this?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

so where did you find this plugin? can you give a link to it?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

so are these forums within a forum list, or topics within a forum?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

Can you provide either a link or a screenshot via say dropbox?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

ok, thanks – now I think I understand

so within a specific forum, you want these topics to appear in that order – can you let me know if there are other topics which also need to appear below – eg these are the first 5 and then all others appear in date order, or are these the only 5 topics?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

ok, so that didn’t work, sorry at the limit of my knowledge in search!

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

ok, I think you have may two issues here

1. styling
2. functionality

or maybe both

using template files will not fix styling, and from the link you sent, I cannot understand what functionality is missing – I can access both forums and topics just fine.

So I am not clear exactly what you are trying to fix? Is it just the page background and header – if so you a right they are theme related, but perhaps you could explain what is wrong and what you want to do to fix it by giving me precise examples

For example :

I want to not have xx
I want yy to be green

etc.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years, 2 months ago]

Try adding this to your functions file:

function amend_bbpress_search ($args) {
$args[‘post_type’] = ‘any’ ;
return $args ;
}

add_filter (‘bbp_before_has_search_results_parse_args’ , ‘amend_bbpress_search’) ;
