Hello, there!

We work with BuddyBoss but with a primary focus on forums/topics with bbPress.

So I’m having issues with the hierarchy of forums and discussions and… I’m trying to have a page for each forum — with all of the discussions listed as a post grid (not BuddyBoss’ Forum Grids, need this to vary from page to page). So with regards to taxonomy and filters, I want to have the parent category defined as a particular forum, and the children categories to be the discussion within that same forum. Example: Need different pages for Recipes, and need a page for Desserts (forum) that shows all the different desserts (discussions/topics), not showing all the other forums (Desserts, Main Dishes, etc.) and their discussions (turkey, asparagus, etc).

I’ve been playing with Beaver Builder and Gutenberg blocks, but it seems that some plugins have issues reading Custom Post Types, which is what forums and discussions/topics are. And the ones that can, like Beaver Builder, will only let you show the Post Type as Forums, and then you can filter to what forums you want to show, but if you only pick one, then it’s just one lone block. And if I set the Post Type to Discussions, then I have to list each discussion, one by one to display on the page (so each time someone creates a new topic/discussion, it would have to be added to this list).

We are currently using Beaver Builder but I’m definitely open to other ideas for this. Here’s the Beaver Builder post I made if any of you are familiar with it: Standard Posts Module to Display Category’s Sub-Categories (Child)

Any ideas or methodologies? I have a web app dev background and am not afraid to modify the functions.php or other files on the backend. See below for what I attempted based on Beaver Builder’s documentation. The second argument for ‘post_parent’ didn’t take, but the post_type did, if I’m not mistaken… leadershipx being the id for the Posts module, but I’ve been looking into wp_query as well (never coded anything yet with wp_query, but happy to learn).

function fl_builder_loop_query_args_filter( $query_args ) {
  if ( 'leadershipx' == $query_args['settings']->id ) {
    $query_args['post_type'] = array( 'topic' );
    $query_args['post_parent'] = array( '4773' );
  }
  return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'fl_builder_loop_query_args', 'fl_builder_loop_query_args_filter' );

WordPress v5.5.1, BuddyBoss v1.5.3 (I don’t know where to find bbPress version inside BuddyBoss, but we have the most up-to-date version of BuddyBoss, so I would assume it’s the most recent version of bbPress)

can only suggest it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, 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

possibly

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Display item 6

[Robin W]

sorry, this one slipped by

add this code, changing ‘shortcode here’ to the actual shortcode you wish to execeute

add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_form' , 'rew_add_shortcode'); 

function rew_add_shortcode () {
	echo do_shortcode( '[shortcode here]' );
}

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

[Robin W]

If it is sidebars, then sidebars are controlled by

wordpress – dashbaord>apperaance>widgets
Your theme/elementor
plugins that affect your theme

bbpress does nothing except provide widgets for the elements above

[wenlu]

Can I fix the problem by changing its codes in the specific files ?
If yes, due to I’m a new to WordPress, I don’t even know where should I edit the code.

[Robin W]

this still works as far as I know

How to Add WordPress Conditional Content to Sidebar Widgets

so you would use

!is_bbpress()

against the my posts – so that will only show on non bbpress pages

[wenlu]

I’m new to WordPress and I wonder how can I customize bbPress without using elementor tool? There are 6 content are in my sidebar which is Home, Listings, My Posts, Forum, Settings and Profile. But now I want to remove the my post content from the sidebar. Can you guys help me to solve it.

Sorry for asking this stupid question.

[Robin W]

ok, can only suggest you try this, and then discuss with your theme author

there are several plugins that do this eg

CB Change Mail Sender

or you can google for code

Thanks both! this has been very useful. I have one more question, when I get the email registration confirmation, the email comes from wordpress.org, how do I change these settings so the email comes from my own domain?

bbpress registration just uses wordpress registration, so likely a site/wordpress issue

copy/paste of my standard advice on email – hopefully it will help

1. You should be aware that many spam filters strip messages that do not come from the correct address. So if your site is mysite.com and your email address
in wordpress settings>general is fred@gmail.com then it is likely that messages will be dumped in transit.
You need to set up email to come from your site eg fred@mysite.com, your hosting provider can help if needed.
2. Just bbpress?
Then you need to see if this is wordpress wide or just bbpress.
Try https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/

Next try switching to smtp email – this page from the host Siteground explains it

https://www.siteground.co.uk/tutorials/wordpress/use-smtp/

and of course

By default, you do NOT receive emails for your own topics/replies, only if somebody else replies on your subscribed topics

so testing would need two email accounts to prove !

[Robin W]

you should get a ‘next page’ but probably easiest just to up the number.

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Display

and set the number in item 11

I have allowed my students to be moderators so they can create forums for class discussions.

Why can I only display 50 at a time?
Can’t there be a next page link to see more forums? I know there are more than 50.

Forum

[samtime]

Hi,
After updating WooCommerce to the latest version (4.6.1), the plugin is now hiding the WordPress admin bar for bbPress moderators and keymasters. Making it harder for them to moderate the forums.

The following code in my functions.php file used to resolve the issue, however it no longer works:

add_action('init', function(){
if(class_exists('WooCommerce') && function_exists('bbp_get_user_role') && is_user_logged_in()){

$current_user = wp_get_current_user();	
$user_id = $current_user->ID;	
$bbp_get_user_role = bbp_get_user_role($user_id);

if($bbp_get_user_role == 'bbp_keymaster' || $bbp_get_user_role == 'bbp_moderator'){	
add_filter( 'woocommerce_prevent_admin_access', '__return_false' );
add_filter( 'woocommerce_disable_admin_bar', '__return_false' );
}
}
});

I posted this question to the WooCommerce forums and am also posting it here in case anyone else is having similar problems?

Any help or ideas greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Sam

WordPress 5.5.1 with Reykjavik theme, bbPre Version 2.6.5. https://help-is.com/

Hello, I am writing from Italy and I ask forgiveness for the bad translation. Registered and activated users are unable to log in, enter a WordPress loop that requires registration details and then return to the home screen without the user, who has filled in everything correctly, being able to enter and modify the profile or create a forum . I can no longer add users manually because bbp tells me they are already registered. I do not know how to do.
Thank you!

Hello i have just done an import from older website with forums,topics, and replies as separate files due to content already done on the website so doing an export of everything is not possible

However everything is now disconnected and when i run the tools to repair forum it fails on all linking can’t even see replies in wordpress backend due to using too much memory.

I can see everything before the fix and is all ok, just the parent relationships not working

Is there a better importer, old site is wp 3.7 so modern plugins not an option, going through one by one is not an option as there is 1000’s of every level

Or is there a better way to rebuild relationships

I’m currently using Twenty Twenty theme and WordPress 5.5.1 and installed a new version of bbpress, version 2.6.5. When looking at my forums overview this has been converted to text. How can I solve this?

Hi,

this plugin works for me properly, I use hash instead of display name.

Edit Author Slug

[Robin W]

bbpress itself does not allow uploads, so it will be an add-on plugin.

https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/ is one of the favourites for that.

The actual error is almost impossible to work out without knowing what is on the site.

it could be file type, or file size, so give that some experience and other not, then I’d try uploading different types and different sizes to see if you can work out when this happens.
