it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Then come back

in that tab there is the option ‘Where to show roles’ – it is the first item in that tab.

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>forum roles and you can set the topic author

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 5 months ago]

you do seem to be massively over-thinking this 🙂

Install private groups plugin

create a group called’teachers’
create a group called ‘students’
tick the tab that sets up topic permissions
create (or edit an existing) forum
set the forum that teachers can create topics and replies
set the forum that students can only create replies
set each user to be either a teacher or student
job done.

you can leave the template for time unchanged.

add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_post_date' , 'rew_change_to_freshness', 10 , 6) ;
add_filter ('bbp_get_reply_post_date' , 'rew_change_to_freshness', 10 , 6) ;

function rew_change_to_freshness ($result, $topic_id, $humanize, $gmt, $date, $time) {
	$result = bbp_get_time_since( bbp_convert_date( $time ) ) ;
	
return $result ;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

Code Snippets

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 5 months ago]

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-topic-lead.php

transfer this to your pc and edit
that will let you remove the header and footer, and change the date function

and save

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

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-single-topic-lead.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

easy to uninstall
very different to the one in your link

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 5 months ago]

private groups will do what you want.

Basically you have a choice.

1. develop code yourself
2. use code someone else has written
3. pay someone to write code for you
4. use a plugin and set this up yourself
5. use a plugin and pay someone to set it up for you.

My private groups plugin does what you need – I do not write separate plugins for every circumstance, everyone wants something slightly different 🙂

Anyway I’ll let you consider. Quite happy to do option 5 if you want some help

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 5 months ago]

I don’t have access to that part, but I’ve messaged an plugin author to ask them

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 5 months ago]

Install this additional plugin

Private groups

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>help to see how the plugin works, but then look at ‘topic permissions’ tab, which has the exact example you are after.

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 5 months ago]

just wondering if this is the issue

Search not working

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 5 months ago]

ok, not watched the video, but seems a relevant thread

Divi Builder Header not loading on search pages

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 5 months ago]

maybe look through these, bbpress simply uses custom post types of ‘forum’, ‘topic’ and ‘reply’, so any that will let you add custom posts types should be fine

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 5 months ago]

and what theme are you using?

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 5 months ago]

I would need a link to a live example on your site

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 5 months ago]

Not that I know!

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 5 months ago]

I just added yarpp, it looks like it recognizes these as ‘buddypress topics’ – buddypress uses bbpress forum

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 5 months ago]

you’d need to ask yarpp what you need to do

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 5 months ago]

This is one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.
install

bbp style pack

once activated, navigate to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if you don’t see this, come back.

In that tab, select

Enable Theme Support

and save

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 5 months ago]

I suspect this is a theme issue.

But in essence you are asking what is wrong with your car without letting us examine it 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 5 months ago]

The issue is defining what a ‘related topic’ is !

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 5 months ago]

try adding this to your theme’s custom css

@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {

#bbpress-forums .bbp-body div.bbp-reply-author, #bbpress-forums .bbp-body div.bbp-topic-author {
	float: none;
	margin: 0px; 
	min-height: 2px;
}

}

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 5 months ago]

sorry, I’m sure it can be done, but not something I’ve tried.

So do you want to bbpress profile to show some woocommerce things or visa versa?

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 5 months ago]

You would need to amend

bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\loop-topics.php
bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\loop-single-topic.php

so for loop topics find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-topics.php

transfer this to your pc and edit as required

and save

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

Then transfer the file you saved above 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

repeat for loop-single-topic.php

you would then need to change the style css to amend width.

This code will truncate the title

add_filter ('bbp_new_topic_pre_title' , 'rew_limit_topic_length' ) ;
add_filter ('bbp_edit_topic_pre_title' , 'rew_limit_topic_length' ) ;

function rew_limit_topic_length  ($topic_title) {
	$length = 40 ;
	if (strlen($topic_title) > $length) {
		$topic_title = substr($topic_title, 0, $length);
	}
return $topic_title ;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

for your second issue, it is site/theme specific, I’d need to see the site and a real example
