quickest way is

add_filter(  'gettext',  'rew_bbpress_translate', 20 , 3  );

function rew_bbpress_translate( $translated, $text, $domain ) {
	if ($domain == 'bbpress') {
     $words = array(
                        
                        'Website' => 'WhatsApp no'
             );
     $translated = str_replace(  array_keys($words),  $words,  $translated );
	}

     return $translated;
}

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

Hi, I am using bbPress Version 2.6.4 in my WordPress site. I want to change the user input field ‘website’ to ‘WhatsApp no’. How to do this? I am not that much familiar in php coding. please help.

[finallyfoundausernamenotusedbefore]

Hello all,

A new problem has arisen, probably as a result of plugin upgrades as there have been a lot recently.

I am using:
BBpress 2.6.4
Advanced noCaptcha & invisible Captcha 5.7.1
bbP private groups 3.8.3
bbp style pack 4.5.3
bbPress Login Register Links On Forum Topic Pages 3.0.1
bbPress Messages 2.0.9.1
LoginPress – Customizing the WordPress Login 1.4.4
WP User Avatar 2.2.6
plus a lot of others not pertinent to the forum (I hope)

Forum is at https://signalbox.org/the-blower/ but I suspect these issues are only visible to registered users.

Underneath the poster’s avatar is a link to the user’s profile. I limited this (for privacy) through bbp style pack to only show the user’s own profile and not that of others. This did work, but now it gives Error 404. I tried setting it to not show any profiles but the link remains active and still goes to Error 404. It is trying to link to https://signalbox.org/the-blower/users/username/

Same occurs if you click on Send Message

Other possibly related issue:
I seem to be getting notifications for postings I have posted in but haven’t subscribed to, I don’t think that happened before. As yet I have had no complaints so am not sure if ordinary users are similarly affected.

All of the above was definitely working at one time. I can’t figure out what has broken it. I can’t find any other mention of these issues in this forum so assume this is peculiar to my site – maybe conflicts between plugins?

Best regards,

John

OK, thanks. I’m new to this game, so I hadn’t appreciated where the line between WordPress and bbPress might have been drawn. I was trying here largely becasue this website was set up the way I wanted.

Thanks again for your help though.

[Robin W]

that only matters if you are doing it for say a theme. there probably is another way, but that is WordPress not bbpress, so if you want to pursue, try the main WordPress forums.

[Pete]

Thanks again @robin-w. Yes, I saw that one. That does work as long as the text that’s being replaced is ‘Howdy’. but that’s language dependent. Down here, if your site is configured for Australia, it’s ‘G’day’ and in other countries I imagine it’s something different again (and that code works as long as you specify the exact string that you need to replace).

I was actually wanting to get rid of that text altogether, in a language-independent way, so I was hoping that it had a ‘name’, like ‘wp-user-greeting’ or something that you could just do a $wp_adminbar->remove_node on, but it sounds like this is not the case. Is the format of the username/avitar on the admin-bar on this site, where there’s no ‘prefix’ at all, really hard coded (rather than managed through something like a function)?

I am making progress with the code (to identify a user as anonymous before they log in) from your previous response, so thanks again for that, but I’m modifying files that are bound to be replaced with the next WordPress/bbPress update. There must surely be some ‘version independent’ way of doing this…

[failxontour]

I know i could put these changes inside the style.css simple custom css will do the job and load another css file on top for these changes which could be applicable for my use case.

But I wanna have the files all in the child-theme in case someone else wants to make design adjustments that their visible and accessible on first sight.

Access to a FTP-Server is given and for adjustments on-top of WordPress and their is a Theme-Editor already embedded into WordPress so that seems to be a bit counter-intuitive. As it might confuse admins & content-editors later on to where they input their changes.

CSS is simple to learn and as this is gonna be pure CSS not LESS/SASS i figure it’s best if I had it in a seperate file to view for people.

[Robin W]

Haven’t tested but googled and found this

add_filter( 'admin_bar_menu', 'replace_wordpress_howdy', 25 );
function replace_wordpress_howdy( $wp_admin_bar ) {
$my_account = $wp_admin_bar->get_node('my-account');
$newtext = str_replace( 'Howdy,', 'Welcome,', $my_account->title );
$wp_admin_bar->add_node( array(
'id' => 'my-account',
'title' => $newtext,
) );
}

if that second part is all you are after, then add it to the custom css bit of your theme, or use

Simple Custom CSS

[Robin W]

the bbpress theme that this site uses is here

https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/bb-base

the following file holds the code

https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/bb-base/header-subnav.php

but you will also need to pull through some css from the theme, and JavaScript to do the drop downs

then tie all this back to the right place in your theme.

It’s quite doable, but well beyond free help

[Pete]

I have what I hope is a simple question. I would like to create a tool bar (wp_admin_bar) that is effectively just like the one on this website: it sits under the website header and includes, in particular, the Anonymous ‘profile’ on the right-hand side before a user is logged in.

I can create an Admin Bar that shows a profile when a user has logged in, but I cannot work out how to include the Anonymous ‘profile’, with its drop-down ‘Register/Lost Password/Log In’ menu.

If there are explicit instructions somewhere on how to achieve this apparently common arrangement, just point me there. If that includes how to add the ‘Create New Topic’ option when a user is logged in, that’d be even better.

I am working with WordPress 5.4.1 and bbPress 2.6.4.

[failxontour]

Hey so I’m trying to enqueue custom CSS for bbPress v2.6.4 on the WP 5.4.1 clan website running a WP Twenty Twenty-child theme.

This is what my functions.php currently looks like

<?php
/**
* Child theme stylesheet einbinden in Abhängigkeit vom Original-Stylesheet
*/
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'child_theme_styles' );
function child_theme_styles() {
  wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
  wp_enqueue_style( 'child-theme-css', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/style.css' , array('parent-style'));
  wp_enqueue_style( 'child-theme-css', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/css/bbpress.css', array());
}
?>

And this is how my bbpress.css looks like.

#bbp-forum-info,
#bbp-forum-topic-count,
#bbp-forum-reply-count,
#bbp-forum-freshness {
  color: #232323;
}
#bbpress-forums {
  background: transparent;
  clear: both;
  margin-bottom: 20px;
  overflow: hidden;
  font-size: 1.75rem;
  color: #232323;
}

The changes I applied in the bbpress.css won’t update the bbpress CSS on the above mentioned site. So their must be something wrong with my functions.php but I can’t yet put my finger on it how to load it properly as I’m pretty new when it comes to WordPress. I wanna append these changes globally to all parts of bbPress forum.

Can someone tell me to if and what i need to specify inside the arrray() call for the bbpress.css to load properly? Or hint me towards what’s wrong here.

[Robin W]

This plugin will let you style it to match your theme, and do much else besides

bbp style pack

Hi
I’m trying to move a forum from one site to another.
I’m using the WordPress export/import function
I can see the structure of the imported forums including topic numbers and replies but there is no information in the topics. The error says ‘Oh, bother! No topics were found here.’

I used the Cimy User Manager to import all the users and that worked fine.

I’ve tried resetting permalinks but still nothing shows in the topics.

Have I done something wrong?

[Robin W]

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

Code Snippets

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'old text' ) {
	$translated_text = 'new text';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

and change the old text and new text to suit.

[Robin W]

ok, let’s try adding this

add_filter( 'bbp_verify_nonce_request_url', 'my_bbp_verify_nonce_request_url', 999, 1 );
function my_bbp_verify_nonce_request_url( $requested_url )
{
    return 'http://localhost:8888' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
}

This was occurring before Members was installed.
I only loaded Members to see further inside users, roles and capabilities as native WordPress offers little capability of diagnosing such issues.

Happy to give you access.
How do I pm you?

No.
I’m on WordPress 5.4.1

Hi there, I’m experiencing the following error after installing bbPress on my local PC (the site is not public) and setting up a test forum:

“WordPress database error Incorrect DATETIME value: ‘0’ for query SELECT p.ID FROM wp_posts AS p WHERE p.post_date < ‘0’ AND p.post_type = ‘forum’ AND ( p.post_status = ‘publish’ OR p.post_status = ‘private’ OR p.post_status = ‘hidden’ ) ORDER BY p.post_date DESC LIMIT 1 made by require(‘wp-blog-header.php’), require_once(‘wp-includes/template-loader.php’), include(‘/themes/twentytwenty/singular.php’), get_header, locate_template, load_template, require_once(‘/themes/twentytwenty/header.php’), wp_head, do_action(‘wp_head’), WP_Hook->do_action, WP_Hook->apply_filters, adjacent_posts_rel_link_wp_head, adjacent_posts_rel_link, get_adjacent_post_rel_link, get_adjacent_post”

My setup:
A new WordPress 5.4 install with no other self-installed plugins
Theme: Twenty Twenty
Windows 10
PHP 7.4.4
MySQL 8.0.19
I created a forum called ‘Test Forum1’ & this appears in the WordPress Admin. When I click the permalink to view the forum I see the above error on a blank white screen.

Any advice much appreciated – thanks.

Hi,

I use WordPress version 5.4.1 and bbpress version 2.6.4 on my website http://www.afvallenkunjeleren.nl with the theme woostify.

I have something strange: I have downloaded the .mo file (named it bbpress-nl_NL.mo, and the .po file is bbpress-nl_NL.po) from the official bbpress site and uploaded it through file manager in my forum.

But nothing will be translated. When I look in the plugin Loco translate, that I use there is nothing translated.

Can anyone help me please?

Thank you very much in advance!

With warm regards,

Hello there,

I am stucked with this issue since some days : i am using the default bbpress connection widget (bpress version : 2.6.4) , but i am not satisfied by it behaviors such as redirect to wordpress admin login, the fact that the link on registration mail, bring the user again to wordpress back end, and also that email sender adress is the wordpress email (not mine !!) .. i had tried to change this last issue with this code in my functions.php :

 add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', 'your_email' );
function your_email( $original_email_address )
{
	return 'myemail@domain.com';
}

add_filter( 'wp_mail_from_name', 'custom_wp_mail_from_name' );
function custom_wp_mail_from_name( $original_email_from )
{
	return 'My Forum Name';
}

But instead i just received a “mail delivery failed”

I have tried other plugins such as “weaver” or “bbPress login register link..” but still not found the “good one” (or surely didn’t know how to optimize it)

Did someone know how to solve this problem ??

[robertherold]

Hi,

I added some new user fields to the WordPress admin page, but I would like them not to be visible on the bbPress profile page.
How can this be solved?

[Robin W]

If you want to add styling and features try

bbp style pack

[robertherold]

Hello,
I have completely customized the bbPress profile page and would like to display e.g. next to the name an icon (or whatever) if that user is also a WordPress author.
Does anyone know a solution?

[pinksparklegirl]

I’m trying to convert my SMF database, but nothing is being imported (runs through each step, but nothing to import).

I’m using SMF 2.0.17, the most recent versions of bbPress and WordPress.

Can anyone advise how to pinpoint the problem? There were no errors listed.
