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, 7 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.

Sorry beyond free help to actually do the answer, if you’d like me to do this as a paid job, then contact me via

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

sorry this is a paid product, so no idea, maybe ask them

when you click on a user from where? – as admin you may well be able to see things that a participant cannot.

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 8 months ago]

I sort of did this ten years ago (it was how I got into bbpress)

Documented import from snitz access database

if you read from the start, but I went via excel, so from there should be relevant.

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Management

and activate

From that screen you can set up new users to be subscribed

and from

dashboard>forums>all forums>and for each forum click subscriptions and you can subscribe all then current users to that forum in a couple of clicks. Repeat for all current forums

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 8 months ago]

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

still playing with this – am now chatting to one of the FSE advocates within wordpress – so hoping that we will make progress

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 8 months ago]

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

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 8 months ago]

so is this backend or front end you are talking about?

Not quite sure if this is the answer, but if a good looking bbpress is what you are after, then this should help

ok, I’m playing around with some stuff, give me a while

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 8 months ago]

if you want gutenberg in your actual topics and replies, this plugin does it

Blocks Everywhere

it requires you to add stuff to wp-config.

though frankly, you are then expecting everyone in the world to use the stupid + sign. Why gutenberg in not just ‘ms word’ is beyond me.

But anyway just threw that in as it came up as a result whilst trying to google to see if anyone has already done what we are trying to do

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 8 months ago]

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 8 months ago]

it would be good to get bbpress working with FSE.

I am guessing that we would need either a template part that is the forums, or a forum ‘block’ .

If you are deep enough into FSE to articulate how it might work, I could do some digging.

But yes, I have probably had to grapple with a dozen ‘editors’ that various clients have been using, most of which are far superior to FSE, so whilst I do use it on some simple non bbpress sites, I haven;t really tried to get it to do anything clever, or used an FSE theme.

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 8 months ago]

if you have one that is close, and can tell me if it could do xx, then quite happy to take a look at how easy to clone

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 8 months ago]

presume you are familiar with all these

Shortcodes

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 8 months ago]

my style pack has some code that fixes (sort of) FSE themes

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

The forums should then display

If you want to look at code, then download the plugin to your computer and find

\bbp-style-pack\trunk\includes\functions_theme_support.php

I’m trying to avoid getting too deeply into FSE – I find it annoying, but appreciate that I am old and ludite, and that many find it fine or even great 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 8 months ago]

thanks for confirming, yes I only put that change into the latest version 🙂 wording above amended to make that clear

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years, 8 months ago]

plugins rarely make any difference to site performance, servers are too fast nowadays. But of course it is individual choice, and I have no desire to look judgmental.

Anyway hope you are all ok now, and enjoy your site 🙂
