Hi,

I’m currently testing bbPress (with the default plugin templates/themes) and have noticed that a number of inputs do not have labels associated with them. I run a number of sites that require we meet a standard of WCAG 2.1 AA.

Is this something that is likely to be amended in upcoming versions?

And does anyone have any advice regarding making bbPress compliant?

Thanks
Laura

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

My bbPress installation is customized a little and has subscribe and favourite buttons in a different place. Since 2.6 extra favourite and subscribe links are appearing in the lead topic header. Is there a way to remove the default ones and keep the ones generated by <?php bbp_topic_favorite_link();?> and <?php bbp_topic_subscription_link(); ?>?

[Robin W]

no, that probably wasn’t the problem, if you had been on version 5.x then that might be the issue.

If php version doesn’t fix then it could be a theme or plugin issue

Hey Guyes,

This issue because you are using this function [bbp_list_forums] in [loop-single-forum.php] with old (2.5.0) default args array in your active theme.

You must use [bbp_get_forum_id()] in function’s args, So try to find this function inside the active theme and change the value of the [forum_id] argument.

bbp_list_forums( array(
    'before'            => '<ul class="bbp-forums-list">',
    'after'             => '</ul>',
    'link_before'       => '<li class="bbp-forum">',
    'link_after'        => '</li>',
    'count_before'      => ' (',
    'count_after'       => ')',
    'count_sep'         => ', ',
    'sep'               => '',
    'forum_id'          => bbp_get_forum_id(), /* Fix for bbPv2.6.3 */
    'show_topic_count'  => true,
    'show_reply_count'  => true 
) );

Hope it helps.

[haddly]

I have it dequeued in my functions.php file:
wp_dequeue_style( 'bbp-default' );

[Robin W]

@hydrogriff – ok, not sure that I ma goung to be able to help much further.
I can only suggest it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

[Robin W]

looked in pastebin.

I’m not sure what this function is there for, except possibly to speed up site display if they have not accessed the forum part ?

function dequeue_bbpress_style() {
    if ( class_exists('bbPress') ) {
      if ( ! is_bbpress() ) {
        wp_dequeue_style('bbp-default');
        wp_dequeue_style( 'bbp_private_replies_style');
        wp_dequeue_script('bbpress-editor');
      }
    }
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dequeue_bbpress_style', 99 );

it does tend to suggest that you have bbp_private_replies enabled ???

[Robin W]

The best solution is to clone this widget and then amend.

so put this in your functions.php

It creates a duplicate login widget, but you’ll find it in dashboard>appearance>widgets called
(mat) login Widget. You can then add your code to this version

function register_mat_login_widget() {
    register_widget("MAT_Login_Widget");

}

add_action('widgets_init', 'register_mat_login_widget');

class MAT_Login_Widget extends WP_Widget {

	/**
	 * MAT Login Widget amended
	 *
	 */
	public function __construct() {
		$widget_ops = apply_filters( 'mat_login_widget_options', array(
			'classname'                   => 'mat_widget_login',
			'description'                 => esc_html__( 'A simple login form with optional links to sign-up and lost password pages.', 'bbpress' ),
			'customize_selective_refresh' => true
		) );

		parent::__construct( false, esc_html__( '(mat) Login Widget', 'bbpress' ), $widget_ops );
	}

	/**
	 * Register the widget
	 *
	 *

	public static function register_widget() {
		register_widget( 'MAT_Login_Widget' );

getting lots of 404 erros.

plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/user.js?ver=5.3.2

can i have the solution ?

[Robin W]

@casiepa

you need to change this in your toolkit plugin includes/go-functions.php

lines 55 & 56

from

function bbptoolkit_bbpress_list_forums() {
	$args = array();

to

function bbptoolkit_bbpress_list_forums($args) {

This brings through default values, otherwise under 2.6 sub forums don’t get shown.

[pointydrip]

When I try to access mysite.com/forums it does not work with my theme so I copied archive-forum.php to my child theme.

The default archive-forum.php template allows the bbpress content to appear, but not the theme header, so I stripped away the bbpress header items and replaced ‘archive-forum’ with ‘page’ like so:

<?php
get_header(); ?>
    <div id="forum-front" class="bbp-forum-front">
        <div class="entry-content">
            <?php bbp_get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>
        </div>
    </div><!-- #forum-front -->
    <?php do_action( 'bbp_after_main_content' ); ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php
get_footer();

This makes the theme header work, but now the bbpress content is broken.
I am getting the following error:
Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in public_html/wp-includes/post-template.php on line 316

The line in question is:

if ( $elements['page'] > count( $elements['pages'] ) ) { // if the requested page doesn't exist
		$elements['page'] = count( $elements['pages'] ); // give them the highest numbered page that DOES exist
	}

From what I understand /forums is not a page that ‘exists’, but I’ not comfortable modifying WP core. Any help would be appreciated…

[Robin W]

template are designed to be alterable and added to your theme

so

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

transfer this to your pc and edit whatever 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-profile.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Hi

The user profile pages of my bbPress forums are getting indexed in google.

Example pages
https://domainname.com/users/displayname/
https://domainname.com/users/displayname/topics
https://domainname.com/users/displayname/engagement
https://domainname.com/users/displayname/replies

So I want to add <META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW” /> to all the above pages

I think I need to insert the META into wordpress > wp-content > plugins > bbpress > templates > default > bbpress > user-profile.php

But I don’t want to edit the plugin file and lose the change during plugin update.

Is there a PHP code I can use to make the insertion to the user-profile.php?

Thanks in advance for the help

[solomani]

Hi all,

Looking for a way to stop spam user regestrations. By default the users are “spectators” so the spam users cant do anything but is there a way to stop them outright?

I enabled reCAPTCHA for bbPress but, unless I am doing something wrong, it doesn’t seem to stop the regestrations (in fact not sure its working).

Thanks.

Hi folks. I am trying to add the shortcode for a single forum [bbp-single-forum id=$id ]

However I cannot find the ‘forum id’ anywhere.

The bbpress install is new and I have only created one test forum. Nowhere is the ‘test forum id’ listed. I can only see a field for ‘order’ which is by default ‘0’. So I tried the forum id as 0 but nothing appears on the page, I have also tried the id as 1 as it is the only forum created.
Please note that the shortcode for showing ‘all forums’ work as expected on the page.

Any thoughts?
Thank you.

[nickds]

Hi Robin, fully understand. Thanks for your reply.
The issue appears on default wordpress theme and the same appears on Divi theme. I already discuss with the support from Divi and they´v replied, that it has something to do with plugin itself.

[Robin W]

suggest if you haven’t updated or changed software that you contact your host provider

otherwise

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

[telium]

I’m new to WordPress and bbPress, so I apologize if my terminology isn’t quite right 🙂

I have create a pretty page and inserted the BB shortcode which shows all the forums. However, when I open one of the forums, or one of the topics, I find each opening in a fairly generic page.

Is it possible to create nice pages for these, and tell bbPress to open the forum/topic in the page I created? (I don’t like the default page).

[neon67]

the same situation occurred after upgrading to 2.6. Increasing the number of spam links helped.
Pay attention to posts with quotes – there is at least 1 link to the source and there may be more links-the picture is also considered as a link!

by default, 2 links are not enough.

[Robin W]

those words are not from bbpress.

Hi, When a moderator edits a Topic in the WordPress Dashboard, there’s a section near the bottom with the Replies in it. However it also reveals user’s email and IP addresses.

Is there a way to hide the emails and IP’s in this section for moderators?
I’ve already hidden IP’s on the front end for mods by editing some code related to the loop-single-reply.php (more info here, thank you Robin).

Or, is there a way to make the Replies box that appears there turned off by default for moderators, under the screen options?

Thank you, Sam

[forumhierarchyhangs]

All right, I’ll make a post. Usually try everything under the sun to troubleshoot things myself, and I’m usually successful, but this one is giving me fits. I’m importing a phpbb 3.1.9 database into the current release of bbPress. I plugged the MySQL database into my local server (it’s my box, I have full access) and pointed the importer at it. No problems up to that point. It creates users, deletes their default passwords, converts the forums, and then just continually tries the “Calculating forum hierarchy (X of X)” step over and over and over. I’ve tried restarting it, clearing previously-imported data, etc. – no dice.

I can get at whatever files might be necessary to get this working. This is a cluster of a migration on a few levels, so any assistance would be appreciated immensely. 🙂
