I have released a new free plugin for bbPress (it started as a Pro plugin, now it is free and will remain a free plugin, there will not be a Pro version in the future) for adding new page type in bbPress, for listing all forum members/users with options to filter and sort members. Check it out here:

GD Members Directory for bbPress

On the plugin page, you can see the video showing how the plugin works.

ok, doing that using url’s is well beyond free help or indeed my knowledge of wordpress/bbpress.

The code can be amended to pass a $_REQUEST of say ‘loginname’

you can then create a page in wordpress, and use a shortcode to hook to php code that would look up the login name and display data related to that user, but then you have to have an area to create that data and store it in the database, or let the user create – so you would need creation/edit/delete pages and code.

It is all quite doable but well beyond free help

Wordpress code, no jetpack

[Robin W]

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

Code Snippets

add_action ( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum', 'rew_create_new_topic' ) ;

function rew_create_new_topic () {
	$text='Create New Topic' ;
	if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() && !bbp_is_forum_category() ) {
	$href = '#new-post'  ;
	echo '<div class="rew-new-topic">  <a href ="'.$href.'">'.$text.'</a></div>' ;
	}
}

but you’ll have to work out how to style it yourself I’m afraid !!

Hi,

I have registered an account on bbpress. I received email with password set option. I have set the password correctly.

However, when I try to log from this section, it doesnt show anything when I click login after entering my username/password created.

When I try to login, I am specifically login from the form created by BBPRESS (not default wordpress login)

https://ibb.co/SNntGYL

This is the link where login form for bbpress can be accessed: https://www.helios7.com/vlog/forums/

After I click login it does not take me anywhere or show I am logged in. Despite entering login details it keeps showing me login window.

HOpe I am able to explain my problem

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses wordpress login, so

1. how are you creating the bbpress account ?
2. what does ‘I am not able to login’ mean? are you not able to access any of the site, or just the forums?

[Robin W]

not precisely what you want, but my style pack plugin has a ‘create new topic’ button which takes then to the form on that page, so achieves most of what you are after

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>buttons

[Robin W]

not really used any registration plugins so can’t really help further beyond

10 Best WordPress User Registration Plugins to Power Up Your Site

[Robin W]

you are right ! Looks like it change on 2.6.

It now does it on register

so to change back to how it used to work

in

dashboard>settings>forums untick Automatically give registered visitors…etc

Then put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

Code Snippets

add_action('wp_login', 'rew_add_role');

function 'rew_add_role' () {
	$user_id = $user->ID ; 
	$role = bbp_get_user_role( $user_id );
	if (empty($role)) {
		bbp_set_user_role( $user_id, 'bbp_participant' );
	}
}

This code is untested, but should work, if not come back

We have a venue that has a wordpress/bbpress integration. In the past when a user signed up to the site in the woocommerce side, they weren’t assigned a forum role/rights until they actually logged into the forum. Is this something that was changed in an update to bbpress and is it customizable?

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses wordpress login, so any wordpress login popup will log them into bbpress as well.

Lots of WP login plugins around, so yes find one that suits you

[Gunivortus]

bbp has its own (WordPress) login/logout-register part. Using that, the WordPress settings for that are used. I don’t like it. Deactivating it and using a plugin where I can modify the popup windows (layout, size) would be an option. (Which plugin would work fine together with bbp?).
But is the also an ‘in-between’ way? Keeping the WordPress standard login/out, but modifying those popups, to make them fitting better to the layout of the site?

Hi

I use
WordPress + BBPress and Advanced Editor Tools (previously TinyMCE Advanced)

The classic editor is activated and in use

Now My site forum
——————
change the line by input the enter key, it operates as a p tag (paragraph)

change the line by input the shift+enter key, it operates as a br (br /) tag
——————

I would like to use a br tag like this forum.

my site(forum) is now the br tag only works with shift + enter
(if input the enter key, it operates as a p tag)

I want to use the br tag at the line break when I type Enter.

how to it’s change?

Best Regards,
Hyunho

[Robin W]

I think my style pack plugin might do what you want

bbp style pack

then use

[bsp-display-topic-index show=’1′ forum =’10’ template = ‘short’ show_stickies=’true’ noreply=’true’]

see

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes for how to use

Hi all,

I’m sure this has been covered off in another topic – if so, please link to it and close off this thread. Relatively new to bbPress, building a site using Elementor. I’m not able to get in to edit the forum pages with Elementor, not able to find the_content function.

Running WordPress 5.6, bbPress 2.6.6, and Elementor 3.0.15. Site is https://www.napeersupporters.com, running Astra theme

[Robin W]

and couldn’t use it in bbPress function’ file.

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Good idea for Christmas! 2 years ago we switched to bbpress from Drupal – and we are still happy. It has become much easier to work – everything is easily scalable and customizable. The forum at the heart of our site – https://imhodom.ru/.
Now we have an editor-in-chief, not a tired programmer) There is no such service that would not be in WordPress, and some ideas were suggested to us by plugin authors.

Special thanks to @johnjamesjacoby and @robin-w – success and good luck the New year!

I had checked

I reinstall wordpress 5.6 without success

[Robin W]

I’ve found that annoying in the past, and not bothered to think about correcting.

This basic code will display the errors at the top, but I might look to improve on that in style pack

add_action ('bbp_template_before_single_forum' , 'bbp_template_notices') ;

add_action ('bbp_template_before_single_topic' , 'bbp_template_notices') ;

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

re,

I have just tested the manipulation,

whether we go through WordPress as you told me or try to restore directly from the topic it doesn’t work.

I redid the test on a clone of the site and the problem recurred.

[Robin W]

both the top and bottom login links are the default login, they were there to start with

which probably suggests they are theme related.

bbpress just passes details to WordPress login, and if the theme is also using WordPress login, it may well be that on a single page you have 3 things sending info to WordPress authorisation, so any one might send an ‘after login’ redirect, and it might be different dependant on which is completed.

If you also have membership plugins active, then these might also catch a login and do a redirect.

computers are consistent (often annoying so!) so it might be either different logins, or other changes you are making to membership that are affecting.

I’d start by stripping back and working out what is doing what.

so

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see what changes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins, and see what the login at the top and bottom do. Then add bbpress and see what changes.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Then come back

After the first couple of days when everything seemed to work, we started having login re-direct issues: after login the user was sent to her Profile page. To re-direct the user to the homepage, a message pointing to the copyright link at the bottom of the page was inserted in the Profile page.

Another couple of days later, now the top Login link sends the user to the Members page (no login) and the user needs to click on the Login link at the bottom of the page to login, find herself on her Profile page, go to the bottom etc.to go back to the homepage.

This is by far too complicated for our users – they need to stay on the homepage after login. How can I do that ? And why are things changing every couple of days ? How is it that the top Login link and the bottom do not work the same ?

presuming you don’t have anti-spam or moderation plugins, then it will be wordpress moderation settings

dashboard>settings>discussion and check moderation, blacklist and whitelist settings, particularly no. links which is the usual one that users exceed.

[Robin W]

ok, I can only suggest you look at possible conflicts

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users
