Hi
I have created the Login/Register page. But while creating another page for ‘Lost Password’ its not working.
In Visual composer when I am adding the default page ‘bbpress Lost pasword’ it shows template added to page. But it remains blank. No element shows up.

Thanks
Kasana

Hi,
To remove the messages above and below, you could use CSS like:

		.bbp-template-notice {
			display: none;
		}

or use a plugin like bbP Toolkit.

To change the message so it includes the standard bbPress login, you would have to copy ‘bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php’ to your child theme and then adapt the file. On line 175 add:
<p> <?php echo do_shortcode ('[bbp-login]') ; ?>
so that it becomes:

<p><?php is_user_logged_in() ? _e( 'You cannot reply to this topic.', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'You must be logged in to reply to this topic.', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>
 <p><?php echo do_shortcode ('[bbp-login]') ; ?></p>

If you want to do something different, this is anyway the place to start from.

Pascal.

please how can i edit this link under posts for logged out users (You must be logged in to reply to this topic. Log in/Register)

or how can i edit it to change the redirect url to a specific registration page, not the default one that loads either on ajax or javascript. Thanks

Please find enclosed a link for the test Website:

Well I am not seeing an issue with my forums disappearing with WP Monalisa activated.

Where do I activate TinyMCE and find the default toolbar editor in WordPress? Or are you talking about BBPress Dashboard?

Well your not using TinyMCE so you would see the error I come across. Like said there is an issue, so you may not need to activate it. There is a plugin on wordpress repository and a code snippet in the codex to allow TinyMCE.

As previously mentioned it didn’t work with a freshly installed bbPress Website. I had nothing else installed except the bbPress Forum. The enclosed totius.tk however is now a plugin.

Yes, wordpress plugins do not work for the old standalone version, but with the plugin version. I cannot test to see if an install of bbPress v1 would cause an issue, as I cannot run this on wamp. Kind of do not know how to install bbPress v1 anyway.

Sorry, I forgot to post the WordPress Dashboard that comes up for Settings/Writing:

A new version of WordPress probably removed the smilies setting like the wp monalisa plugin says, there was a version with that setting before.

There should be pagination at the top and bottom of a topic by default?? Do you have reply threading enabled? With reply threading enabled there is no pagination.

[Robkk]

and whether they can respond to the posts via e-mail?

bbPress cannot do this by default, you may need a plugin for this. I think their is one in the WordPress repository called bbPress bbPress post by email. It needs to be hooked up with an SMTP service though.

[Robkk]

On my menu on wordpress I am getting link.com/forum-4/ and I cant remove the “-4”?

Well you created a page called forum 3 other times that is why it adds the -4 to the end.

If you are creating a “forum page”, know that you really do not have to do this. Just go to /forums or whatever the forum root slug is set in your forum settings in Settings > Forums.

I’m getting the same error on bbpress with some forums.

Are you naming a forum, “forum”??

Also, where is the function for users to register and their profiles?

Since your using the bbPress plugin, you register through WordPress login and register forms. bbPress has some shortcodes you can place in a page, and they will redirect you to the default WordPress forms since they aren’t really dedicated forms.

Profiles should be present if users click their name on the bbPress login widget, the author link in their posts, or you can add a custom menu item using a function in this guide.

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[lissyhunnybee]

It may not be the most elegant solution but the following worked for me….

In your theme’s functions.php place this code:

//* Remove Commas in BBPress Post Tag Display
function my_bbp_topic_tag_list( $topic_id = 0, $args = '' ) {
	echo my_bbp_get_topic_tag_list( $topic_id, $args );
}

function my_bbp_get_topic_tag_list( $topic_id = 0, $args = '' ) {
 
		// Bail if topic-tags are off
		if ( ! bbp_allow_topic_tags() )
			return;

		// Parse arguments against default values
		$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'before' => '<div class="bbp-topic-tags"><p>' . esc_html__( 'Tagged:', 'bbpress' ) . '&nbsp;',
			'sep'    => '',
			'after'  => '</p></div>'
		), 'get_topic_tag_list' );
 
		$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $topic_id );

		// Topic is spammed, so display pre-spam terms
		if ( bbp_is_topic_spam( $topic_id ) ) {
 
			// Get pre-spam terms
			$terms = get_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_spam_topic_tags', true );
 
			// If terms exist, explode them and compile the return value
			if ( !empty( $terms ) ) {
				$terms  = implode( $r['sep'], $terms );
				$retval = $r['before'] . $terms . $r['after'];
 
			// No terms so return empty string
			} else {
				$retval = '';
			}
 
		// Topic is not spam so display a clickable term list
		} else {
			$retval = get_the_term_list( $topic_id, bbp_get_topic_tag_tax_id(), $r['before'], $r['sep'], $r['after'] );
		}
 
		return $retval;
	}

Then copy bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\content-single-topic.php into your theme bbpress folder and replace <?php bbp_topic_tag_list(); ?> with <?php my_bbp_topic_tag_list(); ?>

Hope that helps others looking to do the same thing, and if there’s a better solution let me know lol

[Robkk]

You may need to refresh any cache if you cannot see any changes appear.

The original code in loop-single-topic.php from \wp-content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\loop-single-topic.php

Has this code. Which makes it not show up in single forum pages, so it is only visible in topics created section in your forum profile, forum search, and the topic archive on yoursite.com/topics. You may need to remove the conditional if you want to always have it visible.

<?php if ( !bbp_is_single_forum() || ( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() !== bbp_get_forum_id() ) ) : ?>

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

		<span class="bbp-topic-started-in"><?php printf( __( 'in: <a href="%1$s">%2$s</a>', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_forum_permalink( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ), bbp_get_forum_title( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ) ); ?></span>

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

<?php endif; ?>

If you have reply threading activated, you do not have pagination. You should have reply post pagination with the default layout.

Thanks for the prompt reply robkk.

Please find enclosed a link for the test Website:
http://totius.tk/

When I activate Mona Lisa, the BBPress Forum disappears. You only see the link in the navigation bar, but it isn’t linked any more. When you click on it it is dead. Then when I deactivate the Mona Lisa plugin, the Forum is back again.

I first started with a stand alone BBPress Forum, i.e. one directly loaded from the BBPress Website, as I wanted to experiment to see how good it is. There are the three plugins that come loaded with the site. But when I try to load any of the other plugins they won’t install. I.e. I would upload them to the plugins folder through cPanel, they do show, but when I click on them, there is an error message that comes up.

Then next I tried BBPress with WordPress – i.e. I started from scratch with a WordPress site and loaded it as a plugin as per the totius.tk example. I was able to download and install the Monalisa plugin, but when I activate it, the BBPress forum disappears. The blog part however is active. Only the forum is disabled.

So yes, there has to be a conflict between BBPress and the Mona Lisa plugin.

By the way, this is what my WordPress (up to date version) dashboard Settings/Writing looks like. You mention

while having TinyMCE activated, and the default toolbar editor tab is the HTML one

Where do I activate TinyMCE and find the default toolbar editor in WordPress? Or are you talking about BBPress Dashboard?

It does work with bbPress and how its default quicktags editor though.

As previously mentioned it didn’t work with a freshly installed bbPress Website. I had nothing else installed except the bbPress Forum. The enclosed totius.tk however is now a plugin.

Is there anything I could have done when it was a bbpress stand alone for the plugin to have been able to be installed?

After my last theme update (Total theme) the forum is broken.

It is now appearing as a post (screenshot attached). If i switch back to the default theme it shows up fine. No caching being used anywhere. Run through troubleshooting with theme support who have said they changed nothing that would break this. Their theme supports bbpress intergration.

Any one any suggestions?

anyone else had this issue or has any suggestions?

[Pascal Casier]

1. and 2.
You might want to create a standard WordPress page called ‘forums’ and give it the http://raquiia.com/gaming/forums/ URL. In that way you override the default page.
Then use shortcode for your chat, the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode and the shortcode for your statistics. (see shortcodes: https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/ )

For 3. at lot can be done, but I have the impression you want to heavily customize, so if you want to do your own coding you could create a child theme and put copies there of the main bbPress files and start modifying them.

Then of course hundreds of plugins already exist. If you want to do something specific, just open another support request here and we will try to guide you.

Enjoy bbPress !
Pascal.

Hi Pascal, thank you for your reply. This css is to hide the default Divi sidebar that is called on single post types. I’ve tried commenting out that code and it still doesn’t resolve the issue?

[Jules]

Hi everyone, I apologise if this has been asked before. I’ve tried searching through the forums and can’t find a solution – I’ve tried a couple (such as creating a bbpress.php file in a bbpress directory in my child themes folder) but it doesn’t resolve the issue.

I have the Forum Index/Root set to the default ‘Forums’ slug. However, when I try to visit this link: http://sheisboss.co.uk/forums – I just get a completely blank page.

I’m truly stumped! Any advice would be awesome – thank you 🙂

[Jld142]

I am currently using the Avada theme which as default displays a forum title at the very top of the page as an awful looking banner. I have turned this off and want to add the forum title in a custom position of my choosing.

You can see my forum below:
http://www.complete-models.com/forum/overview/aircraft/

The forum is called Aircraft and i want the title to show to the left side of “Viewing topic 1 (of 1 total)”.

I know HTML and CSS and have no issues adding the configurations myself however i just need to know which files i need to edit and then copy across into my Child theme directory.

Can anyone assist me here ?

[Robkk]

You can customize the <?php bbp_reply_author_link(); ?> and add more attributes to it like what is explained in this guide.

bbp_reply_author_link

The functions you found, show the default arguments set for the links.

[Robkk]

This bug is definitely in the latest 2.5.8 release while testing the default themes 2013-15, but is nonexistent in the 2.6 dev version.

So I assume it is fixed already, thing is its in 2.6.

[lissyhunnybee]

I have found that the following files have functions that might be making the size stick no matter what

From bbpress\includes\topics\template.php

function bbp_get_topic_author_link( $args = '' ) {

		// Parse arguments against default values
		$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'post_id'    => 0,
			'link_title' => '',
			'type'       => 'both',
			'size'       => 80,
			'sep'        => ' ',
			'show_role'  => false
		), 'get_topic_author_link' );

And from bbpress\includes\replies\template.php

function bbp_get_reply_author_link( $args = '' ) {

		// Parse arguments against default values
		$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'post_id'    => 0,
			'link_title' => '',
			'type'       => 'both',
			'size'       => 80,
			'sep'        => ' ',
			'show_role'  => false
		), 'get_reply_author_link' );

If someone could write me a function for just the size part perhaps that would work? I don’t know enough to be able to write one myself lol

@deanhills

I have just tried to load the wp-monalisa plugin and it turned everything in my Forums OFF.

What exactly did it turn off?? I have an issue where the smiley code won’t paste and that is it.

Was a bit disconcerting as when I logged into the Forum the forum index did not show and the links to the Forum would not work, nor the pages.

Link to your forum so I could see this. It may just be a bbPress theme compat/theme issue.

There must be a hick up somewhere as I don’t have anything special – just the BBPress Forum plugin and the Ultimate Member plugin.

I could replicate an issue a little with using a default theme and while having TinyMCE activated, and the default toolbar editor tab is the HTML one it doesn’t seem to work unless I switch to TinyMCE and back.

It does work with bbPress and how its default quicktags editor though.

How to remove parent forum in url ?

http://example.com/?forum=parent-name-forum/sub-forum-name

change to

http://example.com/?forum=sub-forum-name

[Robkk]

I can’t find the setting to ensure I get notified whenever a new post is added.

There isn’t a setting by default in bbPress. THere are a ton of plugins for this though.

This plugin that I found might work for you.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-notify-admins/

I cannot find their emails or names at all in my user tab of my wordpress admin

It should be there if you are using the bbPress plugin.

Is the data blank but the users are there, can you not see the columns or something??

[lissyhunnybee]

I managed to fix my original issue which was caused by a social login plugin creating default avatars from facebook profile pictures, however I have come round full circle lol

I decided I wanted the avatar on the topic page larger and so changed the sizes from 80 to 120 in the only files I can find the code in, loop-single-topic.php and loop-single-forum.php

This has successfully changed the image sizes in the listings (kept to 50px via css) but has had no effect on the topic page. I have searched and searched and feel like I am banging my head on a brick wall lol

[lissyhunnybee]

I’ve changed the avatar size for topics to 80px, I’d previously changed it from the default size to 50px which I still have it set to with the css on the forums and listing pages, however it is still “pulling” the 50px image and making the topic avatar blurry. I don’t have any cache plugins. Does anyone have any ideas why I can’t get the larger size to display?

Example page: http://www.lissyhunnybee.com/topic/welcome-to-the-forums/

Thanx 🙂

Ok I see now. When you click the author link on your production site, you can see it is trying to lead to the bbPress forum profile then it just redirects to the homepage for some reason. What we need to do is try to find what is causing the redirect.

Can you do some troubleshooting to first see if you deactivate ultimate member and the bbPress addon, that the author links go to the regular bbPress forum profiles fine.

Can you also try in a default WordPress theme too to see if the same issue is present.
