In reply to: URGENT – Nickname displays in address bar
and do let me know if it works !
In reply to: URGENT – Nickname displays in address barok, that is buddypress adding the profile fields, so you may need to take it up with them if the next bit doesn’t work !
However whilst doing something for someone else today, I found a function on the net, which I have amended (but not tested) below
function change_display_name( $user_id ) { $info = get_userdata( $user_id ); $args = array( 'ID' => $user_id, 'display_name' => $info->user_login ); wp_update_user( $args ); } add_action('user_register','change_display_name');then on registration it should set the display_name to the username
put this in your functions file
In reply to: bbPress User Profile Manipulationgood start, but that approach gets very complicated, as whilst you have added the fields, you have not saved them or said where to save them – that requires a whole bunch of other code !
Easier approach :
bbpress uses wordpress registration, so it’s easier to hook to that.
The whole bunch of code below is not my original work (but I do use it on one of my sites, so know it works) but if you have a play with it, you should be able to adapt it.
`//add code for adding first and last name to registration
//1. Add a new form element…
add_action(‘register_form’,’myplugin_register_form’);
function myplugin_register_form (){
$first_name = ( isset( $_POST[‘first_name’] ) ) ? $_POST[‘first_name’]: ”;
$last_name = ( isset( $_POST[‘last_name’] ) ) ? $_POST[‘last_name’]: ”;
?>
<p>
<label for=”first_name”><?php _e(‘First Name as people call you eg Dave’,’mydomain’) ?><br />
<input type=”text” name=”first_name” id=”first_name” class=”input” value=”<?php echo esc_attr(stripslashes($first_name)); ?>” size=”25″ /></label>
</p>
<p>
<label for=”last_name”><?php _e(‘Last Name’,’mydomain’) ?><br />
<input type=”text” name=”last_name” id=”last_name” class=”input” value=”<?php echo esc_attr(stripslashes($last_name)); ?>” size=”25″ /></label>
</p>
<?php
}//2. Add validation. In this case, we make sure first_name and last_name is required.
add_filter(‘registration_errors’, ‘myplugin_registration_errors’, 10, 3);
function myplugin_registration_errors ($errors, $sanitized_user_login, $user_email) {if ( empty( $_POST[‘first_name’] ) )
$errors->add( ‘first_name_error’, __(‘ERROR: You must include a first name.’,’mydomain’) );
if ( empty( $_POST[‘last_name’] ) )
$errors->add( ‘last_name_error’, __(‘ERROR: You must include a last name.’,’mydomain’) );return $errors;
}//3. Finally, save our extra registration user meta.
add_action(‘user_register’, ‘myplugin_user_register’);
function myplugin_user_register ($user_id) {
if ( isset( $_POST[‘first_name’] ) )
update_user_meta($user_id, ‘first_name’, $_POST[‘first_name’]);
if ( isset( $_POST[‘last_name’] ) )
update_user_meta($user_id, ‘last_name’, $_POST[‘last_name’]);
}in essence start by looking at the end – 3. save
and the line
update_user_meta($user_id, ‘first_name’, $_POST[‘first_name’]);
this is updating a user_meta field called ‘first_name’ for the user_id $user_id with the information entered in $_POST[‘first_name’]
So it is saving the first name the user enters in a user_meta field for that user called ‘first_name’
My plugin stores the data in a user_meta field called ‘rpi_label1’, so a find/replace to change ‘first_name’ to ‘rpi_label1’ is what is needed throughout the code. then some tidying up of things like the prompts and you should have it working.
Give it a go, and see how you get on. IF you get it working, the deal is you post the result back here, and I can nick it for the plugin (and give you a credit) !
If you don’t then come back with how you are getting on, and I’ll help – too tied up to do all the work myself !
This code by the way goes in your functions file see

In reply to: Subscription email notifications not workingIn reply to: Whitelisting users?@douglsmith – hey thanks for that, and if you get it working, let us know !
In reply to: bbPress User Profile ManipulationThought you said you hated code?!! 🙂
Have you a specific registration template in mind, does your theme come with something?
In reply to: Significant trouble with a stubborn sidebarhmm…. bbpress plays well with wordpress, so that should not happen.
Usually a 500 error in wordpress a coding issue.
Do you only get the 500mn errors when you btry and do something wordpressy?
and when you get a 500 error, click the refresh on your browser, and usually it comes up with the specific error that is occurring – come back with that.
In reply to: Users Answer not in profileok, so
create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpresswhere %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.phpbbPress will now use this template instead of the original
Now edit that file so that you add a new line between line 16 & 17 which currently read
<div id="bbp-single-user-details"> <div id="bbp-user-avatar">so add
<h1> <?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'display_name' ); ?> </h1>after this line so that you end up with
<div id="bbp-single-user-details"> <h1> <?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'display_name' ); ?> </h1> <div id="bbp-user-avatar">as the three lines.
and save
It should now display
In reply to: How to add custom colors for each Role ?A quick code to achieve such will be much appreciated.
If it was I’d give it, but it would involve a rewrite of the function bbp_reply_author_link
It’s quite do-able, but I don’t have the time – sorry !
In reply to: 500 error when amr plugin and bbpress are activatedFatal error: Call to undefined function wpb_remove() in /home/f14life/public_html/wp-content/themes/effektive/functions.php on line 59
can you tell us what is on that line please, and give us a few lines before and after
In reply to: Subscription email notifications not workingEmails not working can be caused by many factors. Try working through the following :
1. Spam filters
You should be aware that many spam filters strip messages that do not come from the correct address. So if your site is mysite.com and your email address in wordpress settings>general is fred@gmail.com then it is likely that messages will be dumped in transit. You need to set up email to come from your site eg fred@mysite.com, your hosting provider can help if needed.
2. Just bbpress?
Then you need to see if this is wordpress wide or just bbpress.
Try https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/then come back
In reply to: Log In ProblemsIn order to test, I have created a new user (in users) but when I log out, and try to log in the new details it comes up with the wordpress admin panel saying wrong details.
Can you give the exact error please
In reply to: Whitelisting users?presume you are using askimet as your spam filter, in which case 3 links and it’s pending !
In reply to: Virus in 'agyp' bbpress theme?ok, I googled and couldn’t find a theme called aqyp, so not sure where you got it from
In reply to: Significant trouble with a stubborn sidebarok, but when you do try it, if it doesn’t work come back – I have a plan B !
In reply to: Oh Brother…ok, so do you need help to correct the bbpress.php, or are you happy without it?
In reply to: bbPress User Profile Manipulation3. Completely hide any backend/admin type stuff from non-admin users so that they never leave the frontend part of the site
I agree – I hate that part as well
use
https://wordpress.org/plugins/hide-admin-bar-from-non-admins/
In reply to: bbPress User Profile Manipulation2. Add a link to the bbPress Login Widget for users to edit their profiles (instead of clicking their names…clicking their names doesn’t seem obvious to me)
Can’t d0 that without coding, but my plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/will let you add this (and optionally register and login/logout) to the menu bar
Install and then
go into Dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login and take a look
In reply to: bbPress User Profile Manipulationok, it hasn’t come through, so first of three replies to avoid the spam filter !
WITHOUT CODE – I can do more if you accept coding!
1. Alter the bbPress user profile page–adding new fields, editing existing fields and removing fields
Try my plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-profile-information/
Lets you add 4 profile fields for users to update and you can optionally display these under the avatar on topics and replies.
If you want to remove fields – that’s code, but let me know which ones you want to remove, and I’ll take a look.
In reply to: Forum, Topics, Replies menu items not appearing?ok
In reply to: Significant trouble with a stubborn sidebarI’m in UK!
ok, two things we can do
try this first
Deactivate bbpress tweaks
Dashboard>plugins>bbpress tweaks>deactivateGo into widgets
Dashboard>appearance>widgetsAnd look at the bottom of the left hand side. You’ll see an “inactive sidebar”, with your entries on
Below this is an “inactive widgets”
Drag all the entries from the inactive sidebar to the inactive widgets area.
This then allows wordpress to delete the sidebar
I normally log out and in again at this stage – probably not needed, but I’ve never bothered to check
Then basically reverse the above
Re-enable bbpress tweaks
You see the bbpress sidebar returns
Drag the entries back from the inactive widgets area to the sidebarIn reply to: Significant trouble with a stubborn sidebarok, so you have a sidebar, just not the right one – yes?
In reply to: Using shortcode [bbp-reply-form] to specific topic!?I had an idea, but having done a bit of research, it would be too much coding so at the moment the answer is no, sorry not possible.
