`
$user_id = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id( bbp_get_reply_id() ) ); // Return the get_userdata information
$user = new WP_User( $user_id );
if ( !empty( $user->roles ) && is_array( $user->roles ) ) {
$roles = $user->roles;
echo $roles[0]; //echos only the first role index of 0 of array $roles;
/* Echos all roles
foreach ( $user->roles as $role )
echo $role.””; */
}
`

Accomplished Display the Replies author’s role with the Above ^. Seems like alot of code for such a simple thing but it works :D. Thanks.

[Spudnic]

Thanks again, ill look through the code some.

[Spudnic]

`$id = get_comment(bbp_get_reply_id(), OBJECT)->user_id;
echo $id;`

Doesn’t seem to want to work either :/

[Spudnic]

on an unrelated topic;

i have `bbp_get_reply_id()`, which is getting me the id of the topic reply, and im trying to use it to get the id of the author so that i can print any of the authors meta data, role, name, url, etc.

Does bbPress have a method for getting the author id? Sofar using
`
$comment = get_comment( bbp_get_reply_id() );
$comment_author_id = $comment->user_id;
`

returns me my favorite:

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\themes\WoW_Public_Vent_Theme\functions.php on line 275

Doing the above ^ didnt seem to change anything?

I did however change

`bbp_reply_author_link( array( ‘sep’ => ”, ‘show_role’ => false ) ); `

from true to false. It appears to accomplish what i want it to, but wasn’t sure if it would mess anything else up that relied on it?

Is this the proper way to hide the users forum role?

Thanks.

[Spudnic]

Your the man. Works beautifully.

Surprised this isn’t standard option ive seen alot of questions on it.

If i continue to use bbPress i might make alittle “customization” faq and will def include this.

Thanks again you’ve been supremely helpful.

[Spudnic]

That got me to:

http://localhost/wordpress/author/

Still missing the user name at the end of the url

[Spudnic]

add_filter( 'bbp_get_user_profile_url', 'my_custom_author_link' );
function my_custom_author_link( $user_id ){
$author_info = get_userdata( 1 );
$author_name = $author_info->user_nicename; 
return get_author_posts_url( false, $author_name );
}

is working properly.

but when i change the input of
$author_info = get_userdata( 1 );
to
$author_info = get_userdata( $user_id );

I get:

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\themes\WoW_Public_Vent_Theme\functions.php on line 274

and it does not work :(;

Soo close.

[Spudnic]

I Tried:

add_filter( 'bbp_get_user_profile_url', 'my_custom_author_link' );
function my_custom_author_link( $user_id ){
    return get_author_posts_url(false, $user_id);
}

get_author_link(); appears to have been depreciated.

So using:

add_filter( 'bbp_get_user_profile_url', 'my_custom_author_link' );
function my_custom_author_link( $user_id ){
return get_author_posts_url( $user_id, false );
}

I am able to get to:

http://localhost/wordpress/author/

which is sooo close to what i need.

I need it to return http://localhost/wordpress/author/$user_name

[Spudnic]

Thank you for your speedy reply.

This is working great for adding additional information.

But how can i edit what is already displayed in that field by default? IE; totally remove the author role and even author name so i can display custom links there.

you may have already touched on this in my other thread, i will need to re-read it more carefully.

[Spudnic]

I have seen some discussion on this, but in the thread they talk about editing the post.php file, but i dont see how that would effect bbPress, and those topics are from around 3 years ago.

[Spudnic]

Seeing as i am novice in my theme development skills, i had included Enque_Scripts in my functions.php. I was not aware that wp_footer(); included the standard jQuery.

After using i believe it was deQue_Scripts() or unQue_Scripts() in my funciton.php i realized i could just remove the Enque_Scripts() and let the wp_footer() do it.

So lesson learned.

Thanks.

Changing Permalinks to post-name seemed to have fixed it.

[Spudnic]

few people having this issue, seems nobody wants to help.

[Spudnic]

When i remove the 404.php template, after you submit a reply you are now redirected to the index.

[Spudnic]

accidental double post.

[Spudnic]

This also occurs when I have the Twenty Twelve Theme enabled.
