    What theme are you using?

    EDIT: Forgot that I did make this guide for a user experiencing a similar issue.

    https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/troubleshooting/search-redirects-to-front-page/

    Although this might help, I would like to know your theme just in case it doesn’t so I could do some troubleshooting.

    If its not the theme, we have to do some plugin troubleshooting.

    Its a customized forum archive layout in the sidebar. I think they just put the forum index shortcode in the sidebar. Then in Settings > Forums they set the forum archive to show topics by freshness.

    It says here you can add custom post type support. bbPress uses three custom post types, reply, topic, forum.

    Here is a setup that might work. Although not really for a ticket system in my opinion and just a support forum.

    A free theme to use.

    WP Knowledge Base

    Plugins that could help.

    bbPress Resolutions or Buddy/bbPress Support Topic

    bbPress Notify (no spam)

    bbPress Auto Close Topics

    Use Robins plugin support forum if your issue is just related to using his plugin.

    I am trying to remove that from showing on the forums page and instead show a a login for bbpress.

    This forum page you say, is it just the original forum index page at /forums, or is this a page that you inserted the forum index shortcode to create “forum page”??

    The is_bbpress() conditional may not work if you went the shortcode in a page route.

    Well unless you made sure the pages slug was the same slug as the forum root, but even with that I feel like that odd procedure could cause issues.

    There is I think a couple of search related issues you could have.

    Robin has put out a possible solution to one of them.

    It is hard to know what is the possible issue you are having from what you provided. Try explaining the issue more the best you can.

    If English is not your native language, maybe write a reply in your native language.

    Images explaining your issue can really help as well.

    So in settings > General you have Deutsch as the Sprache der Website

    I am not sure why you are using files with pt_DE instead of de_DE, and wonder if that could be the issue, or you need a different kind of language file to use. Also the language file directory has changed. It is now /wp-content/languages/plugins

    It should work as long as your using all the CSS code I used. You can try this instead if you want. It does away with the universal selector and the > because it wasn’t really needed, it includes text to know what this code is used for, and it I added !important for the heck of it.

    /*
    This removes the whole list item 
    for every recent topic in the widget,
    this includes the "by"
    */
    .widget_display_topics li {
      visibility: hidden !important;
    }
    
    /* 
    This will make every HTML tags content in the list item 
    for every recent topics in the widget to become visible,
    this does not include the "by",
    so the "by" stays hidden
    */
    .widget_display_topics li div,
    .widget_display_topics li span,
    .widget_display_topics li a {
      visibility: visible !important;
    }

    I think your looking for an unread posts plugin. There are quite a few you can use for bbPress.

    bbPress Pencil Unread

    bbPress Mark as Read

    bbPress New Topics

    bbPress unread Posts v2

    bbPress go to first unread post

    I personally like bbPress Pencil Unread, because with a few lines of custom css I can either have the new label or a custom image before the forum/topic title like in the other plugins. And because it has a template tag to include a mark all as read button somewhere. Other users like mark as read as it is close to vBull functionality and the go to first unread post plugin as its close to phpbb functionality. You probably would just need to use Unread Posts v2.

    Are you talking about the BuddyPress login widget? Or something else?

    I don’t think you have to download the files anymore. I think all you have to do is change your language in Settings > General now.

    Here is the list of translations. German seems to be at 100%.

    I guess try what I said above, because a WordPress update possibly changed the language directory for each plugin.

    For posts users make in a given period of time. I think there is a WordPress backend statistics plugin. I think it shows the amount of posts a user posts in a month? Not entirely sure if I my memory is correct.

    You might want to hire a developer to create this for you.

    The “by” is printed in php, as displayed in this code here.

    https://github.com/ntwb/bbPress/blob/master/src/includes/common/widgets.php#L822

    There is a way to use CSS to hide the “by” though. It will look like the topic title has a little margin away from the topic authors name.

    Here is a custom CSS example.

    .widget_display_topics li {
      visibility: hidden;
    }
    
    .widget_display_topics li > * {
      visibility: visible;
    }

    There might be a way to use a plugin like Loco translate to just translate “by” to nothing also, but I have never tried that plugin before, and I am not 100% if that would even work. But it could be another possibly easy solution.

    Robin might be on to something with the url thing. Robins suggestion works fine, but I usually suggest looking into using the Reveal IDs plugin, as it really makes it easier by just adding a column in posts like Forums > All Forums list and users list in the WordPress backend.

    Its a custom bbPress template file in your theme. I suggest you contact your theme developer. Maybe they can make the custom bbPress layout translatable by a few code tweaks.

    You already should have a way to view topics with no replies. By default bbPress has a feature called Views. It allows you to display topics with various different arguments. Topics with no replies should be one of the 2 default views which are Most popular topics and Topics with no replies

    You can link to the existing page using the Topic Views widget in your sidebar, or you can use a shortcode already provided by bbPress to display a view shortcode in a page and add it to a menu. You can also also instead add a custom link to a menu in the menus section in Appearance > Menus if you do not need to use a shortcode in a page.

    The widget is called the Topic Views widget that you will be able to see in Appearance > Widgets or you can manage your sidebars using the Customizer API in Appearance > Customize in the WordPress backend.

    https://codex.bbpress.org/features/widgets/

    The shortcode you would want to use is [bbp-single-view id='no-replies']

    https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/#views

    If for some reason you may not already have the default view. See if its related to a theme/plugin function removing the default view by troubleshooting.

    So everything is good now?

    @robkk

    Creating a new view template will help with the layout of how you want it. And yes you can still show that view with a shortcode.

    @robkk

    Moderator

    The shortcode that you posted seemed alright with the code you posted, so you had the right ID and everything, only thing I would possibly say is if those quotes don’t work use single quotes.

    The toolbar on this site is sort of absolutely positioned, it has this CSS used. Its not really that great if you want a good mobile site.

    #wpadminbar {
      top: 81px;
    }

    If you want a specific view to have images, you would need to create a custom view template called either single-view-recent-with-topic-image.php or view-recent-with-topic-image.php and most of the code would be based on the single-view.php template in the extras folder in the bbPress plugin, you would have to make it custom enough to include the featured image code, and I guess however your users will be able to select a featured image during topic creation.

    In reply to: Site Role

    @robkk

    Moderator

    Well I don’t entirely understand where you are getting at, but I mean its possible for a user to have 3 different roles.

    For example.

    Site Role – Subscriber – Default WordPress role
    Forum Role – Participant – Default bbPress role
    Membership Role – Premium Member – Some paid membership framework plugins role

    If you want 1 custom site role with different capabilities that other roles might have, consider creating a custom user role. But be aware of what each capability does, so that you will not give your users permissions that you do not exactly want them to have.

    Creating a custom bbPress role guide.

    And a plugin I would recommend to create a custom user role with custom capabilities would be a plugin called Members by Justin Tadlock.

    I think other moderators thought this was spam.

    I can see that it is hard to tell unless you go digging in your sites source code to tell if you are using bbPress.

    I knew one day with all these users basically using bbPress as a blog, that a designer one day would customize and create custom templates for bbPress enough to just make it look like a blog.

    Interesting and very unique stuff!!

    You don’t even have to worry about waiting for bbPress replies for blog posts, because your whole site is mainly using bbPress.

    Interesting as hell to see bbPress turn into a news site.

    Its the WordPress toolbar, a bit customized, but its definitely the default WordPress toolbar.
