By default, bbPress doesn’t make any AJAX calls with the exception of subscribe/favorite actions. You should determine what is making the calls (there should be ‘action’ argument sent with each AJAX request).

ok, you’ll need to edit a bbpress template using FTP

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

transfer this to your pc and edit

you’ll need to remove the line that says

<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>

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/content-archive-forum.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

[Robin W]

ok, you would be better to have a child theme to your paid theme, so maybe consider that going forward

Functions files and child themes – explained !

but what you will need to do is

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

transfer this to your pc and edit it to remove everything EXCEPT

<?php

/**
 * User Login Form
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

// Exit if accessed directly
defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit;

?>

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/form-user-login.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original, and not show the login

If you do this in your paid theme, you will need to repeat it on every theme upgrade as that will wipe your changes out, but as long as you know that, you can place the file in your paid theme, just remember what you did ! a child theme maintains these changes.

I have wordpress member login enabled on my website, and I want to remove the default bbPress login. I looked at bbp Style plugin but I can’t find a way to remove the default login.

Here is the link to the problem: https://www.shabdaacademy.com/forums/forum/life-sciences-forum/

There are two login mechanisms – 1. my member login, and 2. bbPress default login. How do I remove 2?

Thanks

I am a newbie on BBPress and just installed it and I’m in the process of setting it up. The problem is that the body columns are not aligning with the topic headings.

I did some testing and this is the default layout which is not aligning.

Forum: Imagination Room

However if I create a new Page and insert the shortcode the alignment is perfect, so I’m not sure what’s happening, but I don’t want to create several dozen pages and insert shortcodes, so I’d like to figure out why it’s not aligning.

I’ve tried messing with some of the css but I couldn’t figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I use the Better Notifications for WP plugin to override the default WP emails.
However, the email change confirmation email cannot be overwritten by the BNFW plugin.
This is what they wrote:

bbPress is overriding BNFW and has a higher priority when sending out notifications. This would be something that would have to be changed in bbPress in order to be compatible.

If I deactivate bbPress and change the password on the WP profile page, the BNFW confirmation email will be sent.

So the bug is in bbPress anyway, as it doesn’t allow to overwrite the confirmation email.

How can this error be fixed?

I appreciate any ideas!

I’m trying to clarify for myself the situation regarding “freshness” and I have several questions about that. There’s been a lot of discussion about this and there are a number of tickets, but I’m having trouble putting it all together. I apologize for rehashing old ground.

(1) Freshness vs Last Post

Sometime in the last few releases things changed so that (at least by default) the top level forum shows “Last Post” where it used to show “Freshness.” Is this (1) A temporary measure until freshness is fixed, (2) A change in philosophy, or (3) Simply a change in the “default” of something that can be configured?

(2) Freshness tickets

When I search on trac for open tickets which mention freshness, I come up with: 1925, 2659, 2876, 3310, 3356. I’ve seen it mentioned in the forums a number of times that freshness is a known problem, but I don’t see that any of these tickets is (I’m not sure how to say it but) the “main ticket” for the underlying problem. Can anyone help me out with this?

(3) bbp style pack

In many of the conversations about freshness (and other problems like threading and indentation) bbp style pack is the only thing mentioned as a solution. I’m almost getting the impression that this plugin is considered kind of a necessary part of bbPress, in order for things to work properly. Comments?

—

I’m still learning about bbPress and if anyone wants to point me to any “background” information or documentation that I *should* have already looked at, that would be appreciated.

[Robin W]

you only need to set restrictions on the forums you wish to restrict, if you don’t set a forum to a group or groups, then it is public/private just as now. So you would only need to set this up for 5 forums.

then you would go to dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>assign groups to roles
and as students would get the ‘subscriber’ role, you’d set that a ‘students’ and tick the add group on first login.

You then manually change the groups just for teachers.

new users would be subscribers by default so get the student role.

Do teachers have the subscriber role or do they get different?

If you went down a template route, you would still need some way of differentiating teachers from students.

[crebspark]

I need a Register button besides the Login button because the default bbpress settings only show the Login button. How can I add a Register button maam?

[crebspark]

Hi,

Can you help me figure out how to add a Register button beside the login button? I’m not talking about a rightside bar widget.

I’m talking about the default view when someone tries to view a forum and is not logged in.

Thanks

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses WordPress accounts.

so if you want your existing users to use bbpress, then set the default role in dashboard>forums and the next time they log in, they will get this access.

Hi,

I’m trying to add some detail to search results associated with replies to topics. By default, it would seem that if a search finds a hit in a particular topic post, it includes the name of the topic and the relevant forum in the header for the particular search result:

In contrast, a hit on a reply to a particular topic does not include any topic or forum information:

I thought I might be able to solve my problem by modifying the loop-search-reply.php template to include what looked like it might be the relevant code from the loop-search-topic.php template:

<div class="bbp-topic-title-meta">

	<?php if ( function_exists( 'bbp_is_forum_group_forum' ) && bbp_is_forum_group_forum( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ) ) : ?>

		<?php esc_html_e( 'in group forum ', 'bbpress' ); ?>

	<?php else : ?>

		<?php esc_html_e( 'in forum ', 'bbpress' ); ?>

	<?php endif; ?>

	<a>"><?php bbp_forum_title( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ); ?></a>

</div><!-- .bbp-topic-title-meta -->

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

but it seems that was a little naive of me. This block of code certainly includes what could be the required information: but what I thought would be inserted as the forum name turns out to be the topic name.

Looking at the above code, I can see why this might be—the relevant text, ‘bbpress’, in the code block above appears to be just some placeholder text, and is the same placeholder text used to reference the topic name. I had thought that the text replacement might be a little more context sensitive than it appears to be.

So my question is, can anyone tell me how that text (‘bbpress’ in the above code segment, which is taken directly from the default loop-search-topic.php template) gets replaced, or more specifically I guess, can anyone tell me where to inject a function or the like to set this or some other piece of placeholder text (I appreciate that it may need to be different to the placeholder text being used for the topic name) to the relevant forum name?

Thanks

[John James Jacoby]

Topic views are not standard in bbPress.

By default, the problem with Views is they trigger database writes on pages that should only be performing database reads.

We’ve considered ways of circumventing this, but have never seriously attempted to build it.

Is there a simple fix for a non-programmer type guy?

You could try installing: https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-tools/

I forget if it offers it, but it does so much other stuff that maybe it will tide you over? 😁

[Robin W]

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.

Then come back

[jensksa]

I am experiencing a similar problem.

I get the exact same error message, although the forum does render (ie. no blank page).

As far as I understand, it appears to be because bbp_remove_adjacent_posts does not get called, and it tries to fetch adjacent posts with a default post_date of 0.

[Robin W]

Just had a chance to dig further into this – bbpress will only let a keymaster set another keymaster, so if you’re not a keymaster yourself then by default you can’t do this.

However this code should allow any admin to set a keymaster

add_filter( 'bbp_is_user_keymaster', 'rew_allow_keymaster', 10 , 3 );

function rew_allow_keymaster ($retval, $_user_id, $user_id) {
	if (current_user_can( 'manage_options' )) $retval = true ;
return $retval ;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

Code Snippets

BUT THEN TAKE IT OUT AFTER you have set up another – as it makes all admins in effect keymasters.

[Robin W]

I’m just a bbpress user who helps out here.

I did not respond to allow and other community members to respond if they wished.

I appreciated that you are frustrated, but you are using free software, and with that comes volunteer support. I’m not sure why you feel entitled to get someone to fix your problems for free and at a weekend.

There are 300,000 bbpress sites, and I have been offering support on this forum for 6 years, and have seen most issues that bbpress has had over the years.

Thank you for super quick replty. I am not sure, I think this is not default editor.

I have a problem with the way breadcrumbs are being displayed on my search results screen.

First of all, I have the following (amongst other things) in my functions.php file:

/**
Just a simple breadcrumb trail, but, importantly, don't double up when we're at the root
**/
function mycustom_breadcrumb_options() {
	// Home - default = true
	$args['include_home']    = false;
	// Don't need breadcrumbs if we're at the root
	if ( apply_filters( 'bbp_no_breadcrumb', is_front_page() ) ) {
	// Forum root - default = true
		$args['include_root']    = false;
	// Current - default = true
		$args['include_current'] = false;
	}
	return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'mycustom_breadcrumb_options' );

/**
Search only the specified forum
**/
function my_bbp_filter_search_results( $r ){ 
    //Get the submitted forum ID
    $forum_id = sanitize_title_for_query( $_GET['bbp_search_forum_id'] );
    //If the forum ID exits, filter the query
    if( $forum_id && is_numeric( $forum_id ) ){
        $r['meta_query'] = array(
            array(
                'key' => '_bbp_forum_id',
                'value' => $forum_id,
                'compare' => '=',
            )
        );  
    }
    return $r;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_has_search_results_parse_args' , 'my_bbp_filter_search_results' );

I have a search box on the forum home page and on the index page for each individual forum. For general navigation around my forum the breadcrumbs are presented as one might expect and search results are confined to those relevant to the current forum (or all forums from the home page).

The breadcrumbs on the Forum ‘home page’ show simply as Forums and on individual forum index pages as Forums > ForumName, where ‘ForumName’ is the name of the current forum, etc. A search request from the Forum home page returns results as expected, with the breadcrumbs displayed as Forums > Search > Search Results for 'search string'. However, while a search from one of the individual forum index pages returns the refined search results as expected, the breadcrumbs are always displayed as Forums > Search > Search Results for 'search string', they don’t include the name of the forum that has been searched (i.e. Forums > ForumName > Search > Search Results for 'search string'.

I think I can see that the search is actually being applied to all forums, then refined by the relevant function in the functions.php file, so I think I can see why I might have to do a little extra work to get the relevant forum name displayed in the breadcrumb, but can anyone suggest how I might do this? It would seem that I should be able to add a little more code to my mycustom_breadcrumb_options() function, but what exactly…?

Thanks for any assistance anyone can offer.

Apart from the root forum which shows all the sub forums and nothing else, all my sub forums have a reply / new topic form tacked on at the bottom. I would like to remove this and replace it with two buttons: “New” and “Reply” which lead to a separate form/page with all the removed functionality. If I inspect the page code as it is, it is everything in this element tag:

<div id=”new-topic-0″ class=”bbp-topic-form”>

Is this possible? Thanks.

[sadakhanal]

what is the code to make the first reply of the topic as a sticky reply by default ?

i am trying to arrange the replies in descending order and the topic content is not showing on the top of the replies.

Question 2: Is it possible to show topic content under topic title, not on the replies? This will give me more options to arrange replies according to my requirement. [while i am using <?php bbp_topic_content(); ?> under topic title, the topic content is displaying in replies also]

[jayapramod]

For field name change I made changes in these files (in the wp-content >> plugins >> bbpres):

includes/admin/metaboxes.php
templates/default/bbpress/form-anonymous.php
includes/admin/metaboxes.php
templates/default/bbpress/form-user-edit.php
templates/default/bbpress/user-profile.php

Now it’s showing ‘Whatsapp number:’ instead of ‘Website:’. Still, there is a problem remaining, as I didn’t change the php code (not familiar in PHP coding) for website url, after entering the phone number it’s showing like this ‘http://9669856568&#8217;.

Also made changes in all css files in this directory wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/, for font size change. From font-size: 12px; to font-size: 18px;.

BUMP!

(yes I know this is an almost nine year old thread ;))

Years ago (before this thread was created) I asked Sam Bauers about how bbPress 0.9 compared to phpBB and he said that bbPress was slower by default, but as soon as you hooked up an object caching backend, that bbPress wooped phpBB quite easily.

But does anyone have an idea of how the “new” bbPress plugin compares to say phpBB performance wise? Logged out users are easily handled by caching, but what about the logged in folk? With some aggressive object caching, we can tank the number of queries to a minimum and it will run a ton faster, but I have no idea how this compares to the more “standard” forum tools.

And are there any tricks to making bbPress handle huge forums?
