Well I don’t entirely understand where you are getting at, but I mean its possible for a user to have 3 different roles.

For example.

Site Role – Subscriber – Default WordPress role
Forum Role – Participant – Default bbPress role
Membership Role – Premium Member – Some paid membership framework plugins role

If you want 1 custom site role with different capabilities that other roles might have, consider creating a custom user role. But be aware of what each capability does, so that you will not give your users permissions that you do not exactly want them to have.

Creating a custom bbPress role guide.

bbPress user roles and capabilities

https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/before-installing/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

WordPress roles and capabilities

https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities

And a plugin I would recommend to create a custom user role with custom capabilities would be a plugin called Members by Justin Tadlock.

Its the WordPress toolbar, a bit customized, but its definitely the default WordPress toolbar.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Toolbar

[Robkk]

In WordPress you can set this in Settings > General in the WordPress backend in the New User Default Role setting.

Is this a site you created? It looks pretty darn good and it seems to try to not stay with bbPress’ default design, and everything is unique, which I very much like to see designers do.

As for what you asked in this topic, you can do this with the help of some jquery, and a conditional whether the user is logged in or not.

This will have links to basic code for a show/hide toggle for a simple div. Just remember to use the topic forms container ID in any code you are going to use.

http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/jquery_hide_show.asp

This is a possible recommendation of a conditional you should use in a function you would create with whatever modal login plugin you are using.

if (!jQuery(this).hasClass('active') && !jQuery('body').hasClass('logged-in')) {

How do you change a user’s default site role? I have a site that needs the site role changed.

[Robin W]

In which case this is the easiest way.

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/loop-single-topic.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/loop-single-topic.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

so go to line 60 which says

<span class="bbp-topic-started-by"><?php printf( __( 'Started by: %1$s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'size' => '14' ) ) ); ?></span>

and change the ‘size’ => ’14’ to a larger number for instance ‘size’ => ’20’

[Robin W]

This is the default display.

If you are into coding, you can check out

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

or if coding is not your thing use my plugin Style Pack which will let you set up lots of stuff, including fixing the above

Is your login form a widget? It looks like. Go to widgets menu and in settings or options there is url to homepage after log in which is default behavior. Try to use bbPress Login widget and check settings.

Good Luck.

Hi,

I’ve been trying to reduce the height of topic form (Tinymce) which stands at default 236px height.. I want to reduced them upto 100px.. I have searched all over, seems there is no shortcut solutions.. Can you please point me the file where I can edit that value.. For temporary period, I can touch or change the core files, if needed.

I’m unable to locate the file.. Even not sure if those values comes from wordpress tinymce files under/includes/tinymce or it’s set in within bbpress..

Thank you so much…

Robin:

I installed bbPress by following the instructions here on bbPress.org:

1. I created an empty page named “Forums” using the default forum root slug heading (i.e., ‘forums’).
2. Then I added the empty “Forums” page to the site’s main menu.

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

so you will need to take out lines 31-34 which say

<p>
			<label for="bbp_anonymous_website"><?php _e( 'Website:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
			<input type="text" id="bbp_anonymous_website" value="<?php bbp_author_url(); ?>" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" size="40" name="bbp_anonymous_website" />
		</p>

You should do this in a child theme, but if you do it in your main theme keepo a record as you will need to do this again on any theme update.

I’ve just performed a clean installation of WP 4.5.3 and installed Version 2.5.10 of bbPress plugin. I am currently using the Twenty Fourteen theme.

I installed bbPress by following the instructions here on bbPress.org:

1. I created an empty page named “Forums” using the default forum root slug heading (i.e., ‘forums’).
2. Then I added the empty Forums page to the site’s main menu.

The only trouble that I’m having so far is: The “Forums” menu item [in the Secondary, Left-hand menu] isn’t highlighted when viewing the Forums page. I’d begin digging around to see if I can fix the problem myself but – without knowing anything about the complexities of WordPress – I’m not even sure where to begin debugging this. Is the menu’s dynamic functionality driven directly by WordPress? By the Twenty Fourteen theme? Or by the bbPress plugin?

Could someone please tell me how this is achieved? Or maybe tell me how to fix this?

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and buddypress 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

Hi,

This is not an issue, it is a feature of the plugin you downloaded, installed and then enabled. That specific part of the plugin (the whitelist) is disabled by default, so you have enabled it yourself.

Please read the text that is provided alongside the options in the plugin.

The solution to this without editing the file is to simply disable the whitelist, or add the shortcodes that aren’t being displayed into the whitelist. You can do that within the ‘Extras’ tab.

I just setup a new site with WP 4.5.3 and bbPress 2.5.10 es_ES

Everything is translated for me: https://cloudup.com/ckbF2DGSPEl

Does the theme you are using include custom bbPress templates?

It looks like there might be an issue with the file form-reply.php

The file can be found in: templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php

It should match: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.10/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php

Can you check the above for me please?

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks for the screenshots, they are a big help 🙂

The “before” screenshot has lots of untranslated strings, Topic, Viewing 2 posts - 1 through 2, Participant, Edit, Move etc etc

Wheres most of the above are now translated in your “after” screenshot, I see 4 strings untranslated though: Reply to, Notify me of follow-up replies via email, Tags: and Submit

Those 4 strings all appear to be translated correctly, e.g https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/stable/es/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=93987&filters%5Btranslation_id%5D=3551506

p.s. Spam isn’t translated, Spam appears to be Spam in any language 😉

I’ll dig around some more and see what I can find

[Stephen Edgar]

This is strange, bbPress is 100% translated into Spanish

https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/es/default/wp-plugins/bbpress

Here are the strings with voice, so they should work

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/stable/es/default?filters%5Bterm%5D=Voices&filters%5Buser_login%5D=&filters%5Bstatus%5D=current_or_waiting_or_fuzzy_or_untranslated&filter=Filter&sort%5Bby%5D=priority&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc

Can you try removing any .po/.mo files from the languages folder that you mentioned in your original post please?

[Robkk]

@robin-w

And does this work for all themes, or just this one?

I just come across the issue in themes every now and then. Depends if the theme includes a file called content-search.php as well, like in TwentyFifteen and TwentySixteen default themes.

So whilst copying all the templates to the theme fixed it for the OP, is the fix just to copy content-search.php to get

wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-search.php

Yes this would work as a temporary fix for bbPress forum users right now.

You can add a patch to the ticket I created if you want to create a possible fix.

I think possibly you would need to just rename the file on the bbPress end and that will do it, but there might be other instances in the plugin that would need a name change like in other additional template files, and possibly somewhere in the theme compat code.

@phileas013

I would like the questions to be displayed the same way that on this bbpress forum.

On these forums the developer removed the content holding the labels and also moved the post date and id number in a different area.

Robin linked you to a plugin that enables you to show the lead topic, which this site does, so you have that. If you do not want to use the plugin, or you are really just using it to just show the lead topic, you can also use this custom php snippet that is on this site.

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbp_show_lead_topic/

I still do not find a way to add a border around the topic (and not the replies) or find a way to make it look different from the answers.

You can try some custom CSS like this. It won’t look as good as this site because of how its designed as I stated above.

.single-topic .topic {
  border: 2px solid black;
}

I do not understand why the line in blue with “créateur” and “sujet” appears above and below the main topic.

Thats normal, its how the lead topic is supposed to be displayed by default.

Hi,

First assure that ‘Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies’ is checked.

To allow guest just to create topics, in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php one line 28 change with:

<?php if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() && !bbp_is_anonymous() ) : ?>

To allow guest just to create topics, in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php one line 28 change with:

<?php if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_reply_form() && !bbp_is_anonymous() ) : ?>

[joshgb93]

Update: Still didn’t find a way to fix this…
However, I noticed that the menu is okay on mobile. Also, if I’m using another page and adding the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode to it instead of the default forums root page, it’s okay as well.

Hi Robin, no change when I disabled all other plugins but switching the theme to the 2015 WordPress default corrected the problem.

So, something in my theme is hiding it, and only hiding it when someone is logged in. Any ideas what could be doing this or where I should look? I can’t find anything that looks significant in the theme’s functions.php file but I suppose I don’t know what I’m searching for.

Thanks for your help!

[Robin W]

ok, so something is turning it off.
