Try this

add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title', 'to_archive_title_remove_prefix' );
function to_archive_title_remove_prefix( $title ) {
if ( is_post_type_archive() ) {
$title = post_type_archive_title( '', false );
}
return $title;
}

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

I am new at this, please forgive me. I have installed bbPress into a WordPress site https://mississippihunter.com/forums/ . I am using the Astra theme.

How do I get rid of the word “Archives?”

I sincerely appreciate any help. Thanks, in advance.

Hello, I have the following questions. Does bbpress use the user roles of wordpress?
I would like to include a separate forum for individual events on my website, that relates only to the topic of the event. Is this possible?

I discovered the problem was created by this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/forum-permissions-bbpress/

[scottmotion]

First you could try Robin’s bbPress plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-profile-information/
Same with BuddyPress integration: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-buddypress-profile-information/

If you’re not using BuddyPress though I would highly recommend looking into it. You can enable “Extended Profile Fields” and there’s also a plugin for custom field types: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-xprofile-custom-field-types/

As far as the outbound links themselves go you might need to code/style them yourself unless your theme automatically converts links.

Theme My Login

I saw this:

10 Best Custom Login Page Plugins for WordPress 2022

but there is no option to embed on a page on my site.

[pcwd]

<?php
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) { // Display WordPress login form:
    $args = array(
        'redirect' => admin_url(), 
        'form_id' => 'loginform-custom',
        'label_username' => __( 'Username custom text' ),
        'label_password' => __( 'Password custom text' ),
        'label_remember' => __( 'Remember Me custom text' ),
        'label_log_in' => __( 'Log In custom text' ),
        'remember' => true
    );
    wp_login_form( $args );
} else { // If logged in:
    wp_loginout( home_url() ); // Display "Log Out" link.
    echo " | ";
    wp_register('', ''); // Display "Site Admin" link.
}
?>

I entered that code with the Code Snippets Plugin but it didn’t work 🙁

if title is unique then

get_page_by_title()

untested but something like :

function rew_find_topic_id ($title) {
	$topic = get_page_by_title($title, OBJECT, bbp_get_topic_post_type());
	if (!empty ($topic) {
		$topic_id = $topic->ID ;

Hello – Is there a way to have the system notify the wordpress admin when replies are sent to pending? I had several sitting in there and didn’t realize it. Thanks!

[travis@digiprimedesigns.net]

I have searched these forums and for the life of me can not find exactly what I am aiming for.

Basically I run a gaming community. For the most part, everyone uses discord, and the new forum system discord currently has. However our website has been a beacon that has kept us getting back in touch with each other for over 25 year and im trying to not only keep it alive, but adding content.

Basically I have the WP Discord plugin. I want to have BBPress allow the user to add their specific game names (battle net, steam, EA, Activision IDs) to their website / forum profile. I downloaded and installed the Advanced custom field plugin via wordpress, but it doesm’t seem to work with BBpress. If I make a new page or post I can add the fields, but I am looking more in terms of the wordpress user adding them upon registering on the site, then showing in the BBpress profile.

I used to modify SMF years ago and played around a lot with different content management forum software, but am fairly new to wordpress itself, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE how bbpress feels familiar to me. I feel like this is something super simple and easy to accomplish and im just looking in the wrong place.

On our old SMF forum, I literally had it setup in a URL format to where you would put your Steam username, but then on your profile it would be a clickable link to your steam page. It was super easy and literally required modifying the code 2 or 3 lines to fix once installing a basic plugin for SMF. I feel like this should be easier.

Can someone please point me in the right direction? Also, thank you all for what you do!

Hi and sorry if I’m not very experienced.
I put bbpress inside a new wordpress site and I used the “Astra” theme.
I defined a page called “Home Page” and inserted an AdRotate banner inside it and put the prefix “[bbp-forum-index]“.
The result is this

https://forum.redhotcyber.com/error/1.png

I just can’t figure out why clicking on any forum, topic or other, the banner is no longer seen, as if it were working on a theme page that I don’t have control over…

https://forum.redhotcyber.com/error/2.png

I don’t know how to get out of it, can you help me?
Thank you very much

Hello everybody.
I am using WordPress 6.1.1 with Twenty Twelve 3.8 theme to set up bbPress 2.6.9. The question is – how to disable theme Sidebar on bbPress pages only (forums, forum, topic etc.), but leave it visible on the rest pages of the site?
Thank you very much in advance for answering.

[Robin W]

This is one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.

install

bbp style pack

once activated, navigate to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if you don’t see this, come back.

In that tab, select

Enable Theme Support

and save

The forums should then display

Hi

I would like to customize the labels on the login page at
bbpress login, password fields and the button text.

I see some related PHP code at https://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Login_Form#Make_a_Custom_Login_Page

Could you please suggest how to add that code to my website? Thank you so much!

[Robin W]

you probably need to unschedule and reschedule it.

add this to see what it is doing

I’m just setting up bbPress on my site (WordPress 6.1.1, custom theme non-Block Editor/Gutenberg).

I found interior forum pages are working but the main landing page was not. I was able to work around that by setting up a regular page and using the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode, but I see the user profile pages are still not working (and they are doing exactly what the forum index page was doing before).

Here’s an example:
https://icscalendar.com/forums-home/users/room34/

It’s possible this is a problem with my theme, but I’m not immediately sure what might be wrong (and I’d like to fix this without having to test for plugin/theme conflicts because this is my live site and I don’t have a staging environment set up… yet).

I’m guessing it may be a routing issue… I do have some code in my theme that uses the template_include filter.

Hey,

The new version of the Toolbox Pro does contain a feature called Booster, and it does add new DB tables for indexing, but it does not make any changes to how the data is stored by bbPress. If you use Toolbox and disable it later on, there will not be any negative impact because the plugin is not changing how bbPress works with data. When Booster works, it intercepts some bbPress queries and modifies them to use index tables, and that’s it. When the plugin is not working, or Booster feature is disabled, bbPress works as it always does. But, modified queries are much faster than normal ones because Booster removes postmeta from the query and instead adds joins to the index tables (3 tables added for forums, topics and replies).

Tests I did so far, for queries that Booster can modify, new queries are 20 times faster (on average). But, for large forums (1 million posts or more), queries can be 30-40 times faster. Yeah, I know, that is a huge change, and it might sound unreal, but the postmeta tables in WordPress are never meant to be used for queries the way they are used right now, because the data in postmeta can’t be indexed, and all data is stored in TEXT column, which is the worst column in MySQL for any kind of query.

Anyone who follows my work knows that I have been proposing multiple times to make core changes to bbPress to stop using postmeta; I even have a GitHub repository with transformation queries and other information about changes needed, and I know that that is a huge thing to implement, but the only way to make bbPress fast, is to stop depending on postmeta for queries. What I did in GD bbPress Toolbox Pro 7.0 is just a small change for now, and I plan to expand index tables with more data and affect more queries (right now it affects 6-7 query types). Again, what my plugin does, doesn’t have any negative effect on bbPress, and if my plugin is disabled, the bbPress works just fine, no data is destroyed by my plugin.

Finally, query speed is irrelevant for small forums (under 10000-20000 posts). Yes, queries will be much faster with my plugin, but the database size for queries is not that big, but as soon as the forums grow and have more posts, these postmeta queries will get exponentially slower, and my plugin will make it much faster.

The plugin is now in the Beta stage, with a stable release planned for mid-January 2023.

Regards,
Milan

@taliabarlev, have you tried any PDF converter for WordPress instead of looking for a specific solution for bbPress?

[SirLouen]

I have to say that I’m pretty impressed by the fact that GD bbPress Tools Pro plugin has sent today news regarding the update to the next big version (7.0) and Milan will be upgrading the topic and replies system to a completely separate table.

He says that this will increase efficiency for an obvious reason (indexing of wp_postmeta for such large amount of data in many forums is obviously one of the Achilles talon of bbPress).

But to some extent I feel that this will be like a “fork” of the bbPress project.

I’m uncertain if Milan is a regular user of these forums, but I would like to see your opinions on this movement. I’ve been using GD bbPress Tools for ages because it really complements well all my devs for bbPress on my forums (and I don’t have to be duplicating the code to perform most of the features that he has already implemented), but I’m pretty skeptical that this could be a major caveat for future releases and too much attachment to Milan (in case something happens to him, and considering that this is not open sourced).

I’m not sure either if he will be implementing this for the free version in the WordPress repo.

Furthermore, I may also ask this in his private forum, but I was looking for more opinions in this official forum.

PS: Yes, Milan is around as expected @gdragon
