ok, just checking.

If you have performed the tests above with just bbpress active and a default theme, then these should appear, I can only suggest that your site is somehow corrupt.

do you get anything showing in

dashboard>tools>forums
or
dashboard>settings>forums?

[Robin W]

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

ok,

the default display order is freshness, followed by author – you have it the other way around.

try changing the line above

add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_author', 'rew_freshness_display_image');

to

add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_freshness_link', 'rew_freshness_display_image');

sorry, I’d left a line of test code in which caused the user not to be selected, fixed in 4.7.7

I have also corrected the shortcode to do what it said in the documentation – so the default is ‘my profile’

so

[bsp-profile] will show ‘My Profile’ in a clickable link to the profile

[Profile label=’This is the label’] will show ‘This is the label’ in a clickable link to the profile

[Profile label=’Edit My Profile’ edit=’y’] will show ‘Edit My Profile’ in a clickable link to the edit section of profile

Hi guys, so the login, register, and lost password are redirecting to the default WordPress login page.
Is there a way to have them redirected to a custom page where I am adding my own custom login, register, lost password form?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions 🙂

[Robin W]

ok so

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

find

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_title' ); ?>

		<a class="bbp-forum-title" href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_title(); ?></a>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_title' ); ?>

and replace with

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_title' ); ?>
		
		<?php if  (!bbp_is_forum_category( bbp_get_forum_id())){ ?>

		<a class="bbp-forum-title" href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_title(); ?></a>
		
		<?php } else { ?>
		
		<div class="bbp-forum-title"> <?php bbp_forum_title();?> </div>
		<?php }
		?>
		
		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_title' ); ?>

and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

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

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

you will probably need to add some styling to the class “bbp-forum-title”

Hi,

EDIT PROFILE link leads to a non-existent page https://mypage.com/members/membername/profile/edit/group/1/
which is HTTP ERROR 404

I did try to activate/deactivate plugins, switch to default theme. Nothing. PHP 7.4, latest WP version, all plugins.

Shortcodes are not allowed in bbpress post as default. You need to check your code/plugin which allows shortcodes in bbpress posts, there might be the problem.

[Gunivortus]

Hmmm… After hours, I found out, that the sentence in the registration confirmation email I posted above is a WordPress thing, not that of a plugin.
For translating and changing it, I would have to change things in some WordPress php files that deal with registration and confirmation. My knowledge of php is below zero… I even don’t know what these letters stand for. 🙂

The plugins in use at the site do not provide an option to create new such email forms and overwrite the WordPress default ones. So, I may need a suitable plugin far that.

But that is not a bbpress thing, except, perhaps for a ‘golden tip’ which plugin for this works best together with bbpress.

How can I put on the search function above of the breadcrumb in forum,topic,reply page?
I got the Adding action code in the bbPress codex page.
but I did not get the hook point for the Adding action.
Please show me the hook point(XXXXXXXXXX) .

//display bbPress search form above sinle topics and forums
function rk_bbp_search_form(){
if ( bbp_allow_search()) {
?>
<div class=”bbp-search-form”>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘form’, ‘search’ ); ?>
</div>
<?php
}
}
add_action( ‘XXXXXXXXXX'(forum,topic-page), ‘rk_bbp_search_form’ );
add_action( ‘XXXXXXXXXX'(reply-page), ‘rk_bbp_search_form’ );

How can participants in the forum get to the page of their standard WP profile?
I mean the page, which looks like the admin backend, but only shows the info of the logged in user. (I have a plugin for extended registering and logging in, but I cannot open that WordPress page with that).
What can I use as a menu item to access to that page? Maybe a shortcode?

[Robin W]

the easiest way is

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topics Index Styling and tick item 16 don’t show this message

if you want to do it using FTP then

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/feedback-no-topics.php

transfer this to your pc and remove

<div class="bbp-template-notice">
	<ul>
		<li><?php esc_html_e( 'Oh, bother! No topics were found here.', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
	</ul>
</div>

and save (this file must exist, but we just make it empty!)

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

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

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/feedback-no-topics.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Very very thanks.

I believe that if this function were default for wordpress, it would relaunch the use of the form and help make the section alive too
comments.
it would be nice to be able to suggest it to wordpress

[Chuckie]

So it calls:

        private function section_latestuser() {
            
            // Grab the latest registered user on the site
            return $this->tag_replace( $this->parent->option["title_text_latestuser"] );
        }

Which in turn calls:

        function get_latestuser( $html ) {
            $latest_user = get_users(
                array(
                    'number' => 1,
                    'fields' => array("user_login", "ID", "display_name"),
                    'orderby' => "registered",
                    'order' => "DESC"
                )
            );
            
            $latest_user = reset( $latest_user );
            
            // Default display is the full name
            $name = $latest_user->display_name;
            
            if( $this->parent->option['user_display_format'] == "display_as_username" ) {
                $name = $latest_user->user_login;
            }
            
            if( $html == true ) {
                return "<a href=\"" . bbp_get_user_profile_url( $latest_user->ID ) . "\">" . $name . "</a>";
            } else {
                return $name;
            }
        }

I think, if “WP Approve User” is installed then we need to somehow modify the array returned to only include those where the are approved (as per my previous email).

Thank you for your answer!

You were right, most of my problems were due to not having sidebar on the homepage. This is now fixed!

I encountered now more frustrating problem. When I use the shortcode above on my homepage, the forum is displayed in default template. In the actual Forum-pages the template is alternate forum template 1 (I´m using bbPress Style Pack plugin). I would like the homepage view to be alternative forum template 1 too.

In Style Pack plugin “Not Working?” section reads as follows:

“It’s not working !!
It may be as simple as closing and restarting your browser, so try this first !!

If that doesn’t work…

Background
Style pack works with many/most sites, but it can fail due to a myriad of reasons, including (but no means limited to) site permissions, php versions, other plugins and most often site themes where the theme author has altered bbpress files.

This is no-ones fault – whilst I can control how bbpress performs, there are many thousands of plugins and themes, all of which may be trying to amend the same stuff as I am, and many host poviders who will have differing but equally valid permission and code versions.

Problem finding
1. “caching” software that speeds up the download of your site, but may not recognise and immediately make changes from my plugin

Do you know if you are using caching software? If so then try refreshing, purging or deactivating to see if this fixes.

If you still have the issue, we need to work out which parts are working and which not

We need to look at 2 areas – files and css

2. Files
If your theme author has changed bbpress files in his theme, this will be for valid reason, which may relate to either style or functionality

No bbpress files have been changed in the theme

3. CSS
If css had loaded then the text below will have a green background, if it has not loaded this will be a red background

This sentance should have a green background

If the background is red, then try amending the “css location” tab above

check the activate box and set the location to
wp-content/uploads/
and save these changes
and then come back and re-check this area.”

I´m not using any cache plugin at least to my knowledge. I´ve also tried to unactivate all of the other plugins than bbPress, Style Pack and BuddyPress. This makes no difference.

Can´t find any settings that would force the homepage view on the theme to be any different than on any other sections of my site.

Any clues, what could I do to fix the problem?

[Robin W]

bbpress doesn’t have visual editor as default

but this link to a visual link plugin might catcah attention if more request it to the plugin authirs by adding to the post

Thanks for this post, But I think for

6. Load the style sheet after bbpress

The correct way is this:

/**
 * load custom bbpress css after bbp default css
 */
wp_enqueue_style( 'custom-bbpress', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/css/custom-bbpress.css',array('bbp-default'),'1.1','all');

[Robin W]

if you mean amend the ‘topics started, relies created’ etc, menu, then this is in the template

\templates\default\bbpress\user-details.php which you can amend and put in a bbpress directory in your child theme

eg…

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php

transfer this to your pc and edit to what you want

and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

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

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/user-details.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

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
