I have Light Box Plus installed. I’m not a developer, I haven’t tried to implement anything like that on my own. You make it sound easy but for someone like me I’m sure that it’s not. 😀

You can remove this inside your template.

Do all users see this, or is it just your admin account that can see it? Just wondering as the wordpress edit page is to edit the description of the forum, not replies or topics from users.

Forgot to put in the details: I’m running WordPress 3.4 and bbpress 2.2.3

@rsanchez1 Thanks a lot. Your post made me even more confused at first because i’m new to WordPress and PHP but after reading it a couple of more times and actually implementing what you said it made sense and i managed to get it to work.

I used this code (please look at it and let me know if there are any errors):

————————————————————-

function remove_bbpress_forum_freshness_date( $anchor, $forum_id) {

$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id( $forum_id );
$active_id = bbp_get_forum_last_active_id( $forum_id );

if ( empty( $active_id ) ) {
$active_id = bbp_get_forum_last_reply_id( $forum_id );
}
if ( empty( $active_id ) ) {
$active_id = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_id( $forum_id );
}

if (bbp_is_topic( $active_id ) ) {
$link_url = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_permalink( $forum_id );
} elseif ( bbp_is_reply( $active_id ) ) {
$link_url = bbp_get_forum_last_reply_url( $forum_id );
}

return "View Post";

}

add_filter('bbp_get_forum_freshness_link', 'remove_bbpress_forum_freshness_date', 10, 2);


——————————————————–

function remove_bbpress_topic_freshness_date( $anchor, $topic_id) {

$link_url = bbp_get_topic_last_reply_url( $topic_id );

$time_since = bbp_get_topic_last_active_time( $topic_id );
if ( empty( $time_since ) ) {
return 'No Replies';
} else {
return "View Post";
}

}

add_filter('bbp_get_topic_freshness_link', 'remove_bbpress_topic_freshness_date', 10, 2);

———————————————————-

I have one more question. I gave this more thought and i think it would be better if i replace “View Post” with the post’s title on the forums page(not topics).

To do this is have to change the first function above.

Any ideas how should i change the code to return the post’s title instead of View Post?

Thank you for your help. It’s very much appreciated.

[Lynq]

This also works, you can specify a post parent if you use this.

Or the WP_Query reference is here, which could help: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

Good luck!

Unfortunately, not currently. That would be something that would need to done on a WordPress core level. I’m not aware of that being an issue they are going to address soon, but maybe I just haven’t seen it in WP trac.

I had an old stand-alone version of bbPress running at one time. I’d like to bring it back up, and obviously upgrade to the newest version. I do not want to have forum users added as users in my main blog. Is my only option to install a second copy of WordPress to power bbPress?

 

[0kee]

Hi, since updating everything is working fine except the reply box for the forum isn’t re-sizing. I think it’s the wp-bbp_reply_content-editor-container. Sorry, new to this.
I’m using wordpress 3.5 and bbpress 2.2.3 with the standard bbPress (twenty ten) theme. Anybody any ideas?

Sorry but I am completly lost with all it’s said.

My question is: Is there any way to add new roles in bbpress?

I want some of my users to be identified by their knowledge so the mebers know who is responding and the accuracy of the info provided (ie. Mentor, Advisor, …).

From the first message in this post

bbPress comes with filters to allow you to modify the roles, and it’s still possible to add or subtract specific forum capabilities to a user if you needed to, and without all the fuss and danger of bbPress interfering with existing user roles and capabilities.

I understand it is possible to add new roles but can not find how to do it!

I am using BBpress 2.2.2 and WordPress 3.4.2

Thanks!!

[Destillator]

Ok, some more information: I’ve updated WP and BBpress. Reverting BBpress back to version 2.1.2 brings back the forums but removes the BBpress custom post types in the admin-menu.

Removing the folder “bbp-theme-compat” from version 2.1.2 results in the same view as that of 2.2.3: the page shows but without the forum.

The template used is a child-template of Twenty-Ten, so there’s nothing too exotic about that. Any suggestions? I’ve found https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-0-theme-compatibility/ but the described folder-structure is not present in BBpress version 2.2.3.

[Destillator]

Same here, nothing shows after an update to WP 3.5

[Anonymous User]

Hi John,

in my situation is the correct version not the problem.
The original forum is on version 1.1 since months. And updated to 1.2 yesterday.
It’s an old forum (since 2002) – migrated to bbPress 0.9 and then 1.0 -> 1.1.
Since May 2011 the forum was deactivated – after some problems with an user. 🙁

Hmmm… I think the problem may lie in the fact that the forum has a lot of anonymous posters. In 0.9 there was an plugin for anonymous posters with meta data. But in version >0.9 these posts were all anonoymous posts without an user.

I’ll test the convertion on a blank installation of WordPress 3.5 today (without any other plugins). And the i’ll report again.

By the way. JJJ – carry on with your great work on bbPress. 🙂

[EJMorges]

Hi,
I would like to add a lightbox feature to the bbPress message board. Is there a pluggin that works with the current version 2.2.3.  or is there a way that I can make the lightbox pluggin that I have for WordPress work within bbPress somehow?

GDtools is a great pluggin that has a built in lightbox feature but it ads the images separate from the actual post and this isn’t the best technique for creating articles within bbPress.

Thanks,

EJ

[JuaninLAdP]

Or, if it is not possible, I’d like to know if there is a way for users to be re-directed to the “Edit” option from bbpress instead of going to the WordPress text editor.

[bruceleebee]

Hello,

I am using skematiktheme.com wordpress theme, which is also styled for buddypress. I also have the lastest version of buddypress, bbpress, and wordpress installed.

Not sure if I should be asking this in the buddypress forum or not, because most of the changes are related to bbpress forums which are integrated with buddypress.

I want to change the font size. In general I just need to change the font size for the text in the body of posts, but it would be good if I could bump everything up by 4px. How do I change that?

Can someone help me by explaining it in simple step-by-step language?

For example: go here, then type this code here, and then change this, etc….

Thanks,
Ben

WordPress does not have hierarchical collision detection for full paths. This means no two posts can have the same slug.

[Jennifer M. Dodd]

If you want users to register, make sure Settings > General > “Anyone can register” is checked.

If you want anonymous (visitor) commenting on WordPress posts, check your Settings > Discussion.

For anonymous (visitor) posting of topics and replies, in Settings > Forums, check “Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies”.

wordpress 3.5 buddypress 1.6.2 and bbpress 2.2.3 theme salutation

Pls helllp is live web with forum work well

[rsanchez1]

Can you get more specific with your CSS? By that, I mean just targeting the date instead of the whole freshness block. For example, I see on my bbPress installation that the date in the forum freshness is in a child div of li.bbp-forum-freshness, which in CSS would be div.forums-topic-datetime.

If you are more comfortable with PHP and WordPress development the forum and topic freshness links do have filters:

bbp_get_forum_freshness_link
bbp_get_topic_freshness_link

Both filters pass the link html and the forum/topic id to your callback function. You could then hook to these filters, and simply have your filter callback return an empty string.

I’m also getting ‘404 Not Found’ errors for all my forum pages

http://www.citymoose.com/showcase/websites/ridbcandme/ (newadmin | newadmin)

Strangely enough, it also breaks some of the login verification plugins I have, such as Unconfirmed and Buddypress Pending Activations (“Warning: Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare(), called in /home/citymoos/public_html/showcase/websites/ridbcandme/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-pending-activations/bp-pending-activations.php on line 18 and defined in /home/citymoos/public_html/showcase/websites/ridbcandme/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 990”).

I don’t know if these errors are coming from the new BuddyPress 1.6.2, bbPress 2.2.3, or the new WordPress 3.5, which I had to update all at the same time today.

[Jared Atchison]

There is a plugin that addresses the first issue.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-private-replies/

Not sure of an easy way to restrict posting a thread without a few chunks of custom code.

[paulwclark]

I’m in the process of setting up a forum, but when I check out the forum pages there is no way I can see for someone to post a new topic or add comments. Is there a Log In check box I failed to check in my wordpress.org dashboard, or maybe I need to add a log in plugin?

[JuaninLAdP]

Hey! First time around here, and I’m a total newbie to bbpress. Glad you see you all!

I have a slight problem with my bbpress installation. Users from the forums see an “Edit this” link at the top of the topic and when they use it they can edit the topic in the WordPress post editor.

Is there a way to remove that link?

Thanks!
