found this code, add this to your function.php in your child theme

function custom_bbp_has_replies() {
  $args['order'] = 'DESC'; // 'ASC' (Ascending, Default), 'DESC' (Descending)
  
  return $args;
}
 
add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args', 'custom_bbp_has_replies' );

[Robkk]

like change the order of how the replies display??

latest post on top , first post on the last page??

[Robkk]

@robin-w the code doesnt work for me

[Robkk]

unfortunately that is not the answer I wanted to hear. =P

its the right answer though.

check out these other threads

Pagination issue when threaded replies are enabled

New feature Enable threaded (nested) replies in bbpress 2.4

Trac topics

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2523

Here are some quotes from developers of bbpress

This is the way this feature is currently designed. Hierarchical pagination is quite challenging to tackle; WordPress provides some help with this, but it wasn’t built into our first pass, and no work has gone into improving it since.

This is actually by design, when reply threading is activated pagination is disabled.

its possible though , i see this site is running bbpress, has threaded replies and pagination.
But it all might be custom development.

@joeyaberle you have threaded replies activated, threaded replies has no pagination so it shows all the replies on one page

[Robkk]

@joejozwowski @robin-w i think stephen already cracked this

i was browsing on how to make custom views and yeah stumbled upon this.

there is a random topic view in his code.

[Robkk]

what is the theme you are using??

are you using wordpress seo or a cache plugin like w3 total cache??

[Robkk]

are you using a child theme ?? with bbpress.css in your child theme??

cause what i might think is that you have put bbpress.css into your child theme a long time ago

but the bbpress plugin updated their css with a repsonsive layout and you just dont have that code in your child themes bbpress.css

if im right , you can just check out the bbpress plugin and copy styles to your child themes bbpress.css

[Robkk]

@tonydes child theme

you put it either one i guess,

i copy most of my code into my custom css editor in my theme because it works automatically for me

but if i have to put the code into my bbpress.css in my child theme , i have to add !important alot

Sweet… do I could just put the: “/?random=1″ in the URL field of a menu item and BLAM
Fantastic.

try it??

if not try the other ways robin said.

[Robkk]

@robin-w, @joejozwowski

i found the code to create a random post link that you can use as a reference , when creating a random topic link

got it from http://cazue.com/articles/wordpress-create-a-random-post-button-2013

add_action('init','random_post');
function random_post() {
       global $wp;
       $wp->add_query_var('random');
       add_rewrite_rule('random/?$', 'index.php?random=1', 'top');
}
 
add_action('template_redirect','random_template');
function random_template() {
       if (get_query_var('random') == 1) {
               $posts = get_posts('post_type=post&orderby=rand&numberposts=1');
               foreach($posts as $post) {
                       $link = get_permalink($post);
               }
               wp_redirect($link,307);
               exit;
       }
}

link to show

<a href="/?random=1">Random Post</a>

creating a menu link , idk how to bring that link up in the menu

[Robkk]

However, even after enabling threaded replies, I’m still unable to achieve the same result with the nested reply. When I click “reply” in the top corner of the 4th post down, for example, it just scrolls to the initial reply form beneath the first post, instead of opening up a new reply form beneath the 4th post.

i dont really know then it might be edited threaded replies to bring up the reply form, i checked there code and on the reply link has

<a href="/topic/to-go-to-college-or-to-move-to-la-and-act/?bbp_reply_to=335515&_wpnonce=62ed053836#new-post" class="bbp-reply-to-link" onclick="return addReply.moveForm('post-335515','335515','new-reply-335513','335513');">Reply</a>

most of this code is normal except i think

onclick="return addReply.moveForm('post-335515','335515','new-reply-335513','335513');

the 335515 is most likey the post id

other than that i have no idea how to do this , but i mean if i find out in the future i will update this topic.

If you figure it out in the future before me i would like you to update this topic.

[Robkk]

@marximusmg no problem

[Robkk]

@marximusmg give me link to your site when you get this done, i just want to check it out

[Robkk]

idk havent tryed editing the submit button for certain forms yet

but for profile its

#bbpress-forums #bbp-your-profile fieldset.submit button {
float: right;
}

for reply form its

#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-form fieldset.bbp-form button {
float: right;
margin-top: -120px;
}

you can try that , other than that try doing what stephen said

You should look up some CSS resources and use your browsers ‘inspector’ to look at how to make CSS changes to your theme, use your favourite search engine to find these.

[Robkk]

Do you know how I would go about hiding the “Create New Topic” form at the bottom of the page, now that I’ve made the link at the top to go to the “New Topic” standalone page?

copy content-single-forum.php into your bbpress folder
and delete any instance that say <?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>

that should do it

[Robkk]

@marximusmg yeah this is pretty easy

copy content-single-topic into your bbpress folder in your child theme.

then just move <?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'reply' ); ?>

just below <?php bbp_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-topic-lead' ); ?>

[Robkk]

i guess you could wrap the subscribe link with a php if function using (if user can moderate)
then output nothing if the user cant moderate , this would also show the subscribe links to keymasters too

the subscribe checkbox , im not sure but it might be the same thing too.

ill check back when i find out the function.

[Robkk]

Any luck finding out how this reply feature is accomplished?

@marximusmg i havent really dug into it ive been busy

but heres is the show lead topic function , throw that code into your child themes functions.php

bbp_show_lead_topic

im sure all you got to do is add the call for the reply form code somewhere right at the bottom in the lead topic template.

I also would love to know how to (also seen on High Existence) implement the “reply” option on the top right of each post within the topic, which when clicked accordions out the reply form directly beneath that post.

they use threaded replies, so if you go to bbpress forum settings then click threaded replies you should get that.

[Robkk]

BBPress however is not really a forum in my opinion yet

you know i never get when people say that

what is bbpress missing that really should be implemented to make it a guaranteed forum??

if i would i suggest something , for looks i guess would be color coordination for forums and topics, if you switch to topic freshness instead of forum archive.

so the layout would be

title of topic
started by: (user) in (color of forum) title of forum

or just the title of the forum with the color of the forum as a background/

imo thats the only suggestion i really want , but i mean there is also a plugin that already does this kind of thing.

[Robkk]

i know this is possible there is some function to display usermeta

webpage: there is a website field in contact details in bbpress profile , that i think it gets that from wordpress profile information and just displays it frontend.

about me: there is Biographical Info under About Yourself so its possible to call it using a display usermeta function i think.

send me an email: you can make a link with php inside of it so it would end up with mailto:(user-email), i dont know for sure if thats a safe way to do it though.

and you just put all that code and display on the frontend where the forum role and user stats are.

[Robkk]

What is feed in bbPress?

RSS feed

[Robkk]

use a certain plugin that sends notifications to certain user roles, like moderators
