bbp_get_template_part( ‘user’, ‘topics-created’ )

will use the template ‘user-topics-created.php’ – basically you put all the words together to make the file (that just how wordpress does it!)

These templates all sit in the same directory as the content-single-user.php file.

Hello everyone.
I am noticing weird behavior when user clicks on activation link in email.
Upon clicking user is sent to page with input field that contains random generated password and below that button that says “Reset Password”.
Now this is somewhat confusing because some users might think that there is no need to click that button and just copy the password and proceed to login link bellow.
After that password is not working and user must reset password and basically do activation process again.
Is this how default WordPress registration works?

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses WordPress login, so if your users have WordPress access (eg subscribers), then they will get the bbpress default access (or you can manually set this up).

you then set each forum as ‘private’ and it’s existence is then only seen by subscribers

Hi there,

I want my forum without registrated users, but a passwort protection. So I put a password protection on the site with my forum on it, but I does not seem to stick. Sometimes I have to put in the password, sometimes not. I read about that not working with forums, but is there a solution?

Thanks in advance

wordpress version: Version 5.4.1
bbPress version: Version 2.6.4
site: riptideio.com
theme: Salient with custom child theme

On our site, we have a “Partner Portal” page which is a restricted access page. Users are “subscribers” and they need to login to view the page contents. They do not register, they fill out a request for access form and we selectively hand out the credentials. We are looking to put a forum page nested on this Partner Portal (on the Partner Portal page, there would be a button that says “Forum” that would take them to a forum page). We only want this same group of users who have access to the Partner Portal to have access to the forum, and they can easily navigate to it once logged into the Partner Portal.

Is this possible? And would users need to re-login to the forum page when they navigate to it from the Partner Portal? Would we need to have a sidebar on the forum page with login widget?

Any help or comments about how to go about this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

ok, this version has an issue with last active

so until a formal fox is released..

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes and tick Fix Last Active Time

[Robin W]

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Display enable item 6 forum description.

Then in

dashboard>forums>edit forum in each forum you can put in the content part whatever you want to appear. in your case the same description for each forum, but you can have a different.

Finally to get this on the main forums list, create a page called ‘forums’, and put your description at the top of this. Then add the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] to this. bbpress will then use this as the main forums page.

I have enabled threaded replies for 3 levels; however, the replies are not indenting. I have seen a few topics on this forum regarding this and some suggest changing the CSS for bbp-threaded-replies. I looked at the source for my replies and I only see <div class=”bbp-reply-content”> which explains why updating the CSS doesn’t work. How can I get threaded replies to indent? I am using WordPress 5.4.1, BuddyPress 5.2.0 and the Enfold theme 4.7.4.

Thanks!

Yes, I am designing my own theme. But basic WordPress templates work the same way.
There is no longer a <title></title> tag in header.php. Instead, functions.php has an add_theme_support ('title-tag');.
If I remove this and write the title tag back to header.php, it will display the user’s name in the title bar.

I think you mean this

and select the alternative template

[scoleriptideio]

Thank you for the reply. I followed along with this article to set the forum up but I did get lost on step 8, ss I am not familiar with themes and templates in WordPress. Where do I go in WordPress to access and edit the “root theme” and “page templates in the root of the directory”

“So once you know which page template file you need, copy this and rename the copy to bbpress.php
Place this file in the root of your theme ie wp-content/themes/%mytheme%/bbpress.php where %mytheme% is your theme’s name.”

I need a more dumbed down step by step walk though of this ^, ie where to go exactly in WordPress.

Thanks!

Wordpress version: Version 5.4.1
bbPress version: Version 2.6.4
website:riptideio.com

Recently installed bbPress to create forum page. Want to have a sidebar on the forum page for registration/login. Do not have any other sidebars on our website – want the sidebar just on forum page. Installed bbPress WP Tweaks Version 1.4.4 and bbPress sidebar appears on Widgets edit page and I can drag widgets to display there, but it does not show up on the forum page. I’ve been searching forums far and wide for a solution to this and it seems it might be a theme issue but not too sure how to fix that…

Our parent theme is Salient and we have a custom child theme (we originally had a marketing firm create our WordPress site so I’m not too familiar with the themes or how to edit them…)

Any help would be much appreciated!!

for css use

bbp style pack

for your other issues, is the site visible, and can you give a link to an example

[Robin W]

I’ve added placeholder to version 4.5.3 of my style pack plugin

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>topic/reply form item 11

selection lists would be custom programming well beyond free help I’m afraid.

[Robin W]

make forums private to make them visible to users only

use shortcode

[bbp-register]

or anything in WordPress that does registration – bbpress just uses WordPress registration

[Robin W]

thanks,

this will add throttle to the participant role

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

Code Snippets

add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'brandi_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );

function brandi_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role )
{
    /* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
    if( $role == 'bbp_participant' )
        $caps['throttle'] = true ;
     return $caps;
}

Apologies if all the right info isn’t here- new to wordpress. Just installed bbpress on my site. When I view the forum directory at https://www.tallshipsamerica.org/tsaforums/ the theme is consistent with the rest of my site. When I open any of the individual forums (like https://www.tallshipsamerica.org/forums/forum/licensing/) the banner image doesn’t appear and the upper left logo overlaps the forum title. I’m looking to either have the full theme with the image, or at least move the forum title down so it fully shows.

[Milan Petrovic]

Topics don’t have categories. Forums are quite different from the rest of WordPress, so topics belong to forums, and topics can have topic-tags, but they can’t have categories.

[swww1tamahagane]

I had the same problem but I was able to solve it.

BBpress controls the number of allowed URLs with WordPress settings.

Open WordPress settings, go to “Discussion”-> “comment moderation” item, and set the upper limit of pending URL.
If you enter a very large value, this problem will never happen again.

This idea was discovered by following in the “bbp_new_topic_handler” function.
The function called the “bbp_check_for_moderation” function, and finally used the “comment_max_links_url” filter to obtain the number of pending URLs.

[Robin W]

ps bbpress just uses WordPress login, so they are one and the same, so login for WordPress (and your membership plugin) is login for bbpress.

and for your test user, see what bbpress role has been set in dashboard>users and edit the user, should be participant

I’ve exported a forum from a website, and imported into the new one I’m building. All of the Forums, Topics, and Replies have come across and in the Dashboard it all looks good.

However, on the live page – http://istc.ismysite.co.uk/our-community/discussion-forums/ – it looks like there are no Topics, and when I go into a Forum, it doesn’t show any topics at all.

Looking at them in the Dashboard, all Topics are in the right forums.

I’ve tried disabling this theme (going to the default WordPress Twenty Twenty) but still have the same issue.

Any ideas? I tried some of the reset options but one of them wiped out all the reply > topic links so wary of having to reimport (again).

Hayulp!
