A common error after installation of BuddyPress from within the WordPress admin panel is to not set pretty permalinks. If you fail to do this then all of the links in the header will return 404 errors.

To fix this problem, enter the WordPress admin panel > Settings > Permalinks – set to any configuration other than the default configuration. The mod_rewrite must be enabled on your server for pretty permalinks to work.

Sorry – I misread the topic as being related only to that plugin. Now it makes more sense to me. I thought you’d made a more general question. I guess I would have expected questions about a plugin to be in the general WP plugin forum, but it makes sense to be here too.

My plugin should be posted in a week or so – depends on the approval queue for plugins.

It is intended to be sort of a turn-key solution to starting a bbPress forum. Major difference from any other plugin I’ve found is that it has a bunch of pre-defined subThemes for bbPress – look a lot better than the default, will match most themes.

In the current bbPress there is nothing by default that I know of.

For the moment my ‘bbP Manage Subscriptions’ plugin is only dealing with subscriptions to forums (I have been busy this weekend to improve it, new version should arrive soon), but let’s see if maybe later I can add something there.

Hi, I am trying to translate the frontend section of my forum, but I can only translate parts of it. Here’s a screenshot :

As you can see, I can translate the top sentence, but I cannot translate the form part. I even tried to manually edit the php files without success (reverted to default files after).

I am using Loco Translate for editing my translations and my wordpress language is correctly set because I can translate some parts. I also can see the sentences in the Loco Editor but event after changing them, they do not change in the frontend.

I hope I have given enough informations.

Thanks

OK! After much random searching I found the location. If anyones interested it’s: wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-user-edit.php.

[Robin W]

hmmm … if you want each link to be a button, I can point you to some code, but you’ll need to figure it out.

so

so for replies, the function is in

bbpress/includes/replies/template.php

which I think you found.

function bbp_get_reply_admin_links( $args = array() ) {

		// Parse arguments against default values
		$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'id'     => 0,
			'before' => '<span class="bbp-admin-links">',
			'after'  => '</span>',
			'sep'    => ' | ',
			'links'  => array()
		), 'get_reply_admin_links' );

		$r['id'] = bbp_get_reply_id( (int) $r['id'] );

		// If post is a topic, return the topic admin links instead
		if ( bbp_is_topic( $r['id'] ) ) {
			return bbp_get_topic_admin_links( $args );
		}

		// If post is not a reply, return
		if ( !bbp_is_reply( $r['id'] ) ) {
			return;
		}

		// If topic is trashed, do not show admin links
		if ( bbp_is_topic_trash( bbp_get_reply_topic_id( $r['id'] ) ) ) {
			return;
		}

		// If no links were passed, default to the standard
		if ( empty( $r['links'] ) ) {
			$r['links'] = apply_filters( 'bbp_reply_admin_links', array(
				'edit'  => bbp_get_reply_edit_link ( $r ),
				'move'  => bbp_get_reply_move_link ( $r ),
				'split' => bbp_get_topic_split_link( $r ),
				'trash' => bbp_get_reply_trash_link( $r ),
				'spam'  => bbp_get_reply_spam_link ( $r ),
				'reply' => bbp_get_reply_to_link   ( $r )
			), $r['id'] );
		}

		// See if links need to be unset
		$reply_status = bbp_get_reply_status( $r['id'] );
		if ( in_array( $reply_status, array( bbp_get_spam_status_id(), bbp_get_trash_status_id() ) ) ) {

			// Spam link shouldn't be visible on trashed topics
			if ( bbp_get_trash_status_id() === $reply_status ) {
				unset( $r['links']['spam'] );

			// Trash link shouldn't be visible on spam topics
			} elseif ( bbp_get_spam_status_id() === $reply_status ) {
				unset( $r['links']['trash'] );
			}
		}

		// Process the admin links
		$links  = implode( $r['sep'], array_filter( $r['links'] ) );
		$retval = $r['before'] . $links . $r['after'];

		return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_reply_admin_links', $retval, $r, $args );
	}

which you can filter at the end, but how would depend on your skills.

the span part can be simply changed by putting a filter into your child theme’s function file

eg

add_filter ('bbp_before_get_reply_admin_links_parse_args', 'theredeclipse_change' ) ;

function theredeclipse_change ($args) {
	$args['before'] = '<span class="bbp-admin-links">' ;
	$args['after']   = '</span>' ;
return $args ;
}

and just change whatever you want the span part to look like, or just remove it.

if you want to style each link, then you’ll see that there is a call to each separate function

'edit'  => bbp_get_reply_edit_link ( $r ),
				'move'  => bbp_get_reply_move_link ( $r ),
				'split' => bbp_get_topic_split_link( $r ),
				'trash' => bbp_get_reply_trash_link( $r ),
				'spam'  => bbp_get_reply_spam_link ( $r ),
				'reply' => bbp_get_reply_to_link   ( $r )

so to do it in functions, you’d need to go to each one.

you’ll find these in the same file above

since the class is hard coded, you could add a final filter with a preg_replace

eg

add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_move_link' , 'theredeclipse_move', 10 , 2 ) ;

function theredeclipse_move ($retval, $r) {
$retval =  preg_replace(whatever args you need, with, $retval);
return $retval ;
}

so $retval will hold the line of code including the class.

so google preg-replace and see if you can get it working !!

[theredeclipse]

Default output looks like

<span class="bbp-admin-links">
// inside different classes of links
</span>

I would like change it to
<a class="button"></a>
So I want to delete span from output and use one style for each <a> link, if its possible.

And the thing is – I could do it by modifying forum files, but after update it will be overwritten. So I want to use bbpress functions php file to change output, but I don’t know how. I hope I’ve explained it well 😛

Hi

Bit of a beginner here so forgive me if I’m asking something which should be obvious!

I have installed BBpress on my wordpress site but when I click on the forums tab on the wordpress dashboard it seems the link is broken. It takes me to a “HTTP 500 error” default screen. I can click on “New forum” but not “All forums”. Similarly when you click on any of the forum links on the homepage, even those links appear broken as you don’t land on that forum. Even then, I get the same HTTP error. Any ideas?

[brettdarnesh]

Is there a way to add a list of topics users are subscribed to on a page so they can manage it?

I created a custom profile editor so they don’t go into the wordpress backend when users click on their forum gravatar seemed to be default on my installation. Or is there a front end profile editor I can use like in this forum (I can’t seem to find a plugin or anything for it)

[Dan]

my permalinks are set to month & name. my .htaccess has only the default WP rewrite rules. I have bbPress 2.5.12, jetpack 4.7, and woocommerce 2.6.14.

When i visit mysite/forums/topic/* I get my topic.
When i visit mysite/forums/user/admin I get the admin profile.
When i visit mysite/forums/user/anyone-else I get the site homepage.

This works wether I am logged in or out. I have no security plugins or cache plugins.

Please: Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

[Marcos]

I think also the “forum info” is a good widget to have in default instalation of bbpress.

[Marcos]

I want this also. Maybe a lot of people love this.
Is not possible made a default widget with these information for the next versions of bbpress?

[Robin W]

it may be a conflict ot it could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

[mattdevelop]

Same error here, this happens because of this code

$post_stati = $posts_query->get( 'post_status' );

		// Default to public status
		if ( empty( $post_stati ) ) {
			$post_stati[] = bbp_get_public_status_id();

in \includes\forums\functions.php on line 1800

[siparker]

there isnt an option within bbpress to do it but if you install https://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-default-email-notification-settings-control/ this and modify everyone to ahve no notifications it seems to stop it.

The notificatiosn are still a bit of a mystery to me tbh. they seem to be queued somewhere but i have not had time to look into it. installign that plugin and deactivating all notifications worked for me.

[expat]

hi I am still confused, where is my default styling? I have your pack

http://my-impressionz.cu.cc/forums/

[benklocek]

Here’s the list of names as set by default: http://hookr.io/functions/bbp_get_dynamic_roles/

You should be able to use:

$roles = bbp_get_dynamic_roles();
$print_r( $roles );

to see what the names of your roles are.

[tpsr51]

I am trying to replace all the topics in a specific forum with the new topic form whenever I press on the Create New Topic button.
Then I tried to ajaxify it using the shortcode [bbp-topic-form], but the form didn’t showed up…

In the functions.php I have added this:

wp_enqueue_script( 'script', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/topicButton.js', array ( 'jquery' ), 1.1, true);
wp_localize_script( 'script', 'script', array(
	'ajaxurl' => admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' )
));
..
..
add_action('wp_ajax_script', 'scriptfunc');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_script', 'scriptfunc');
function scriptfunc() {
	echo do_shortcode("[bbp-topic-form]");
	die();
} 

The ajax file

(function($) {
	
		function find_forum_id() {
			var forumidval = document.getElementsByTagName("article")[0].id;
			forumidval = forumidval.replace(/\D/g,'');
			return parseInt( forumidval );
		}
	
		$(document).on( 'click', '.bbp-new-topic-button', function( event ) {
			event.preventDefault();
			
			forumid = find_forum_id();
			
			$.ajax({
				url: ajaxurl,
				type: 'post',
				data: {
					action: 'scriptfunc',
					forumid: forumid
				},
				beforeSend: function() {
					$('.bbp-topics').remove();
				},
				success: function( html ) {
					$('article').append( html );
				}
			})
		
		});
 })(jQuery);

@JohnJamesJacoby

The problem is if you create a page with the same slug as your forum index and insert the forum index shortcode, this page will just be a page that happens to contain bbpress content. It isn’t a real bbpress page.

If you would like your index page (mysite.com) as your forum index how can you make that a real forum page? NOT just a page that contains bbpress content.

You can’t set your forum root index to nothing cause this will make default value (forums) to reappear. Of course you can 301 redirect /forums to index page. But as mentioned, this will display a page with forum content. NOT a real forum page.

Appreciate any kind of suggestions.

This is in a file called form-anonymous.php :

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

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-anonymous.php
Make a copy of this file, 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-anonymous.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

you will see that lines 26-29 contain

<p>
			<label for="bbp_anonymous_email"><?php _e( 'Mail (will not be published) (required):', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
			<input type="text" id="bbp_anonymous_email"   value="<?php bbp_author_email(); ?>" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" size="40" name="bbp_anonymous_email" />
		</p>

Just delete this and save, and this field will not be shown
