It’s the…

bbp username (Robin Wilson)

I got it from a post on here, i can’t seem to find it!

Hi, yes, the forum index is using a shortcode.

I have also done a full reset using the Forum Tools.

I think I have found the issue. Everything works fine, and everything updates fine, but as soon as I activate the bbP username Plugin, the Forum index doesn’t update with the latest Username (the avatar still updates fine).

The Username that it gets replaced by is the Admins. But what’s strange is that, the Admins username still links to the new usernames profile. So basically, it’s just the text that’s not updating.

It’s only when a user creates a New Topic. If a user Replies to a Topic, the Username and Avatar update fine.

[bbp-topic-index] shortcode also updates fine with Username and Avatar

Do you have any idea of what could be causing this?

Thanks again!
Kam

Any help with this would be really appreciated guys?

[sbskamey]

Hi, sorry, I mean on the actual Forum itself.

I’m finding a lot of my Users don’t understand what “Super Sticky” means, so would love to change it to something a little more generic, e.g Hot Topic.

Any help would be great! 🙂

Hey, they was part of the Title Header in my Theme. I’m using Bridge Theme. I went around in circles for many days trying to work it out, then realised it was a simple on/off switch to make the Theme header appear. Hope that helps?

[sbskamey]

it worked! thank you so much! for all your help!!!!!

[sbskamey]

Ahh, that’s brilliant. It works! Thanks so much! You’re a god!

My last question is about changing the background colours. I’m using your code:

function rk_show_role_classes($classes) {
    $replyid = bbp_get_reply_author_id();
    $bbp_get_role = bbp_get_user_display_role($replyid);
    $bbp_display_role = strtolower($bbp_get_role);
	  
  
	$classes[] = $bbp_display_role;
	return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_class','rk_show_role_classes' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_class','rk_show_role_classes' );

and added in some css, like you said:

.communitymember .bbp-author-role {
  background-color: blue;
}

This may seem like a basic question, but am I suppose to amend your code in any way? If so, I have tried multiple variations of it (logic guess work), and a few variations of css, with no luck.

Please could you guide me as to what I need to change on your code to get it to work?

Thanks again,
Kam

Hi Robkk, I’d like to change the capabilities for the roles, so I think adding the new roles would be better.

When I move my code to my Child Theme, my website goes blank.

Do you know if theres something that I’m missing?

This is my Child Theme with the 3 new role and new capabilities in it… (when I add this code to the core bbpress files, it works, but now that I moved it to my Child Theme, my site goes blank).

<?php

// enqueue the child theme stylesheet

Function wp_schools_enqueue_scripts() {
wp_register_style( 'childstyle', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css'  );
wp_enqueue_style( 'childstyle' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wp_schools_enqueue_scripts', 11);

//code to add roles 
 
function add_new_roles( $bbp_roles )
{
    /* Add a role called team member */
    $bbp_roles['bbp_teammember'] = array(
        'name' => 'Team Member',
        'capabilities' => custom_capabilities( 'bbp_teammember' )
        );
 
    /* Add a role called teammember */
    $bbp_roles['bbp_communitymember'] = array(
        'name' => 'Community Member',
        'capabilities' => custom_capabilities( 'bbp_communitymember' )
        );
        
    /* Add a role called ambassador */
    $bbp_roles['bbp_ambassador'] = array(
        'name' => 'Ambassador',
        'capabilities' => custom_capabilities( 'bbp_ambassador' )
        );
 
    return $bbp_roles;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_new_roles', 1 );
 
function add_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role )
{
    /* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
    if( $role == 'bbp_teammember' )
        $caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
 
    if( $role == 'bbp_communitymember' )
        $caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
        
    if( $role == 'bbp_ambassador' )
        $caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
 
    return $caps;
}

Thanks for this Robkk – I’ll give it a go.

(Oh and I’m going to re-design the whole look and feel (that even goes for the role names, going to change them :p), I just want to get it all set up. I’m a designer by trade (hence the dev questions), but I find I get lost in the design when the functionality is not there, so just trying to get it all setup first, that way i can design/css with ease) 🙂

thanks again, will give it a go!

[sbskamey]

Okay so I put the above code in here and it seems to work:

plugins > bbpress > includes > users

Again, just checking if that is correct?

Now to change the background colours, god that’s gonna take me another 2 days! :p

[sbskamey]

I added it here: wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress

Just checking if that is correct?

[sbskamey]

this is great. thanks Robkk. Just one question… Do I put this into the bbpress.php file in the bbpress folder?

[sbskamey]

Great. I will send that note to my theme support too.

Thanks Robkk!

[sbskamey]

I tried SEO Yoast but it didn’t change the actual page title on the blue bar at the top of the page.

I’ve opened a ticket on my theme: Bridge to see if it has something to do with them.

thanks again!

[sbskamey]

ahh man! that worked perfectly. thanks for all your help! I tried for hours to work it out and was so close 🙂

[sbskamey]

Thanks for the CSS.

I have addded it in, but as you can now see, it’s a little wider that the rest of the form?

http://sincebeingsingle.com/forums/topic/drink/

Also if you make it responsive, you will see that it doesn’t go smaller.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

[sbskamey]

Oh, you have to be a logged in user to see the tags box.

But, it’s the same as the Topics Title box – it’s just a bit wider than the rest of the boxes.

See image below…

Thank you!!

[sbskamey]

haha… it’s taken me a while, but it’s getting there. thank you! p.s not bad for a newbie 😉

[sbskamey]

Thanks for your help.

I have managed to fix most of the issues listed previously.

But I’m still having trouble with adding a banner at the top of each page with the forum title, topic title and reply title.

This is essentially what I’m looking for: https://ultimatemember.com/forums/

As you can see, each page has a blue banner at the top, with the forum title, topic title, and reply title in white. This information is being pulled in from somewhere.

I would like to do this.

So my question is: How do i get a banner at the top of each forum page?

Thanks!
