    suspect that there is a variable in loop-sinlge-reply that already exists, but is not there in loop posts, so you’re getting a nil return.

    I’d try hardcoding some to see if you can pinpoint.

    eg look up a bbp post and see who the author is, so if post is 1126 then try

    <?php bbp_author_link( array( ‘post_id’ => 1126, ‘size’ => 14 ) ); ?>

    and see if that produces a result.

    Or you could try

    echo “bbp_get_topic_last_active_id() is “. bbp_get_topic_last_active_id() ;

    to see what number that is producing at that point to know that it is doing something

    if so, then you can try

    @netweb Stephen, Thanks for this, and having now looked at the trac ticket and bbp_parse_args function I see how this works.


    @nicmare

    Wherever you see bbp_parse_args, there’s a filter for the function to do this.

    bbp_parse_args has the format

    function bbp_parse_args( $args, $defaults = array(), $filter_key = '' )
    

    The resultant filter name is made up of bbp_before_’ . $filter_key . ‘_parse_args’

    (there is an bbp_after one as well!)

    The filter key is the third argument in the bbp_parse_args

    $r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
    		'before'            => '<ul class="bbp-forums-list">',
    		'after'             => '</ul>',
    		'link_before'       => '',
    		'link_after'        => '',
    		'count_before'      => '<span>',
    		'count_after'       => '</span>',
    		'count_sep'         => '</span><span>',
    		'separator'         => '',
    		'forum_id'          => '',
    		'show_topic_count'  => true,
    		'show_reply_count'  => true,
    	), 'list_forums' );

    so ‘list_fourms’ in the last line is the third argument.

    This should help you for the other two functions, as filters will then be obvious !

    I’ll let you know if it gets changed.

    Were the other two functions as bad?

    Hey great, glad you’re fixed !

    Ok, I’ve had a think, and another look.

    There is no easy way to do less than you’ve done.

    The problem is that by the time the “apply filters” has been applied, the $output variable has already been created using the input variables, so changing $r is too late.

    What this function needs is an earlier apply filters called say ‘bbp_list_forums_args’ for the $r variable, the you could add a simple filter along the lines of

    function hide_forum_counts ($r) {
    $r['show_topic_count'] = false ;
    $r['show_reply_count'] = false ;
    $r['separator']  = ' ';
    return $r ;
    }
    add_filter('bbp_list_forums_args','hide_forum_counts') ;
    

    I’ve have suggested this is a trac ticket

    Thanks Stephen – I have added this list to the Codex step by step instructions, so I won’t forget it again !

    You say you are using the widget

    So you see the username, password and submit boxes in the sidebar – yes?

    when I click mine, I see no change in the url, and just go back to te screen when it has logged me on.

    Are you seeing a wp-login url ?

    Have you used the plugin bbP signature?

    It is really up to the developers what they spend time on developing. They do this software in their spare time and for free.

    If plugins are readily available, they’re seems little point in integrating them. A variety of plugins also gives user choice, and freedom for others to improve the code.

    And you would be very unhappy be the sounds of it if they integrated some of the current plugins into core code.

    So I repeat, if you don’t like the current plugins, then come back with a detailed critique of what they don’t do, and what they do wrong. That way the developers can see what could be better, and maybe then they would be fired up to add it into core.

    So come back with which plugins and detailed issues and feature requests.

    Has this always happened, or has it just started, and how long have you been using bbPress?

    Sorry, totally misread this – thought you had posts mirroring and wasted to get rid of them.

    I suspect that it would be very hard to get them to just replicate in the database, hits at core code.

    But you could re-do your forum templates to show them twice.

    Beyond my immediate knowledge, but start by looking at you forum page loop, and then the templates viz

    wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templats/default/bbpress

    Most bbp functions have simple variables. Yes, there must be a shorter way, but this is an array not a simple variable, and it builds an unordered list using the array and a loop.

    It has an “apply filters” as part of the function, so they are expecting it to be able to be filtered, but hopefully not by having to do it all again !

    I am writing some codex guide for filtering in bbPress, and by co0incidence was just using this oen as an example, and have been trying to crack it.

    I can do it by amending the template –

    https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/ section 2, and save template into

    wp-content/themes/yourthemename/bbpress

    bbPress then uses that one.

    I have posted a fresh query to Stephen Edgar or JJJ to pick up, but it’s gone into moderation as I posted a whole lot of code. Hopefully one of the two will pick it up and answer.

    In the meantime yours is so far the best answer !

    More of a case that the Presswork theme doesn’t support bbPress!

    Since this is a premium theme and therefore you have paid for support, suggest you go on their support site and ask for their help.

    @robin-w

    BBpress uses your themes page.php file as default page template.

    If you copy this (or any other page template) into the root of your theme and call it bbpress.php, it will be used instead.

    ie

    wp-content/themes/yourtheme/bbpress.php

    If you are after individual templates, these are held in :

    bbpress/templates/default/bbpress

    If you want to alter these, create a bbpress folder under your theme

    ie

    wp-content/themes/yourtheme/bbpress

    then any of these templates that you copy to this folder will be used instead, and you can modify them there.

    Mycelus – which plugins have you tried, and what issues have you had, or what is lacking in them.

    Because if the developers take up your suggestion, you won’t want them to make the same mistakes that you have found in these plugins!

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok, something’s caused it, so we need to try and resolve down. Can you run the following :

    If you just type on http://mysite.com/wp-login.php into your url, do you get the same problem ? [test if the issue is in executing the result, or issue before that]

    Create a new page and put [bbp-login] in it, and then run that page (either by url eg http://mysite.com/my-new-page-name, or from a menu, I’d try both) [see if it’s in the widget]

    What other plugins are you running?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    Did they say which plugin was the issue, and how they knew it was a plugin issue?

    I’d never rule anything out, but if there was an issue with bbpress and buddypress running on themes, then the whole world would be shouting about it, there are tens of thousands of these installations.

    you don’t actually need to change the permalinks eg is Kazza were user 15

    http://www.mysite.com/forums/users/15/edit/

    works just as well as

    http://www.mysite.com/fourms/users/kazza/edit

    so you’d need to change how the profile page is called so that it displays the no. in the url.

    Given that profile is called from

    any topic or reply display (click the avatar or author name)
    several widgets (click the avatar or author name)
    possibly other areas

    you’d need to re-code these areas.

    the function bbp_reply_author_link is used for topic and reply display, not sure if widgets use that as well.

    Great, glad you’re fixed.

    If you do some coding for ranking, can you post this back here, and maybe I’ll add it as a plugin for others benefit

    Ok, it should all be fine.

    Suggest you start by deactivating all your other plugins to see if that fixes. If it does, then add back one at a time to see which is causing it.

    If that doesn’t work, try changing to a default theme such as twentyeleven and see if that fixes

    Come back and let us know if that gets you anywhere

    Ok, not quite sure why that stopped working – it used to !

    But have just tested this :

    function display_counts () 
    {
    		
    		$user_id=bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id ) ;
    		$topics  = bbp_get_user_topic_count_raw( $user_id);
    		$replies = bbp_get_user_reply_count_raw( $user_id);
    		$post_count   = (int) $topics + $replies;
    		echo "<br>Total posts : " ;
    		echo $post_count ;
    		echo "</br>" ;
    		}
    add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'display_counts') ;

    and that works.

    As before you can then add some if statements to display a status or icon

    yes just tried it, and it does say 0 – will come back to you – I just cribbed some code within a larger file that it worked several months ago – will take a closer look !

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok, try deactivating all your other plugins, and see if it then works. If it does, then add one at a time to see which is causing the issue.

    If still failing, switch to a default theme such as twentyeleven to see if it is theme related

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    Presuming you are using latest versions, these should work fine together.

    What other plugins have you got? Deactivate all other plugins except buddy and bb, and see if they are then ok.

    If not, then try switching to a default theme such as twentyeleven to see if it is theme related.

    If it is ok with just theme and bbpress and buddypress, add back plugins one at a time to see which is casuing the conflict

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    Yes it can be done, but you’d need to have some coding skills.

    You’d need to amend loop-single-reply.

    Start by creating a directory called “bbpress” under you theme directory

    ie

    wp-content/themes/what-every-yourtheme-is/bbpress

    and copy this file

    wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php

    to it

    This file is then used by a higher loop to display the topic and replies as you now see them, with avatars and all the content.

    You can then amend this file to display as a single line items, presumably with a post link attached.
