Hi there,

I’m building a website with Elementor Pro and bbPress.
I created 2 different Headers: a main one for the Landing page and blog, and another one for the forums.
I used the shortcode to display the forums index on a page I’ve built with Elementor and the Header works fine. But when it comes to the automatically created single pages (topic, reply, search, etc.), it displays the main Header.

I contacted Elementor support, not knowing if the issue was on their side or on yours, and they told me I had to contact you, explaining me this :
“For your information, we usually find this happening when creating custom post types where it is excluded from showing in menus via the custom post type’s “show_in_nav_menus” option; this option is found in the post type’s “register_post_type” function used to add it in WordPress and may be set to “false” in this case […] we highly recommend contacting the bbPress support team to help with changing this option to “true”. The solution we suspect would be similar to using the function code mentioned in this bbPress support post but with the ‘show_in_nav_menus’ variable set to ‘true’ > https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-snippet-hack-to-include-bbpress-topics-in-wordpress-search/ ”

So, here I am! Can someone help me, please?

Thank you!

I just wanted to point out that Enlighter is a fantastic plugin for syntax highlighting.

Enlighter – Customizable Syntax Highlighter

The current version works with bbPress 2.6 although it has a conflict of interest with one feature. It is discussed here:

https://github.com/EnlighterJS/Plugin.WordPress/issues/211

At the moment I don’t really know how I can supress the conflicting CSS styles referred to in the above link.

I should also point out that at the moment the version 4 beta is not working with bbPress yet. Although, it is supposed to resolve the aforementioned issue concerning conflicting CSS styles.

Eitherway, I am happy to know about Enlighter. Thumbs up from me!

[Robin W]

basically bbpress has the ability to add columns via a filter

This should do it

add_filter("bbp_admin_replies_column_headers", 'rew_IP_column_add');
add_filter("manage_reply_posts_custom_column", 'rew_IP_column_value', 10, 3);

function rew_IP_column_add($columns)  {
	$new = array();
  foreach($columns as $key => $title) {
    if ($key=='bbp_reply_forum') // Put the forum ID column before the Replies forum column
      $new['rew_id'] = 'IP Address';
    $new[$key] = $title;
  }
  return $new;
}
	
function rew_IP_column_value($column_name, $id) {
		if ($column_name == 'rew_id') echo get_post_meta( $id, '_bbp_author_ip', true );
}

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

registration is a function of WordPress, not bbpress.

you can switch it off using

Disable New User Notification Emails

your best bet would be to raise a trac ticket with a list of missing labels

I’m never quite sure if I should add to a post that has the same problem, but is obviously unanswered for a long while, or post a new topic. But… our forum also has a very similar issue so it seems sensible to add it here.

For us, it seems to be specific to text-align (left, right or centre) and for “non-admin” logged in users.

It displays the html code as is, rather than using it to display the correct text alignment. All other html options in the visual editor we’ve tested so far seem to work – it’s just the text alignment that doesn’t. And only for non-admin users – the html works as it should if an admin user posts.

<p style=”text-align: right;”>right align</p>

Hoping for a solution? Am on current versions of bbpress, wordpress and bbp style pack and php version 7.3

[Chuckie]

I raised an issue nearly a month ago now here in their forum:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-errors-are-raised/#post-12418564

I thought I would mention here in case they might be able to have a look.

Thanks.

[Robin W]

so you couldput this in your functions file of your child theme, it takes out then new filter and puts back the old one

remove_filter( 'bp_notifications_get_notifications_for_user', 'bbp_format_buddypress_notifications', 10, 8 );
add_filter( 'bp_notifications_get_notifications_for_user', 'rew_format_buddypress_notifications', 10, 5 );

function rew_format_buddypress_notifications( $action, $item_id, $secondary_item_id, $total_items, $format = 'string' ) {

	// New reply notifications
	if ( 'bbp_new_reply' === $action ) {
		$topic_id    = bbp_get_reply_topic_id( $item_id );
		$topic_title = bbp_get_topic_title( $topic_id );
		$topic_link  = wp_nonce_url( add_query_arg( array( 'action' => 'bbp_mark_read', 'topic_id' => $topic_id ), bbp_get_reply_url( $item_id ) ), 'bbp_mark_topic_' . $topic_id );
		$title_attr  = __( 'Topic Replies', 'bbpress' );

		if ( (int) $total_items > 1 ) {
			$text   = sprintf( __( 'You have %d new replies', 'bbpress' ), (int) $total_items );
			$filter = 'bbp_multiple_new_subscription_notification';
		} else {
			if ( !empty( $secondary_item_id ) ) {
				$text = sprintf( __( 'You have %d new reply to %2$s from %3$s', 'bbpress' ), (int) $total_items, $topic_title, bp_core_get_user_displayname( $secondary_item_id ) );
			} else {
				$text = sprintf( __( 'You have %d new reply to %s',             'bbpress' ), (int) $total_items, $topic_title );
			}
			$filter = 'bbp_single_new_subscription_notification';
		}

		// WordPress Toolbar
		if ( 'string' === $format ) {
			$return = apply_filters( $filter, '<a href="' . esc_url( $topic_link ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( $title_attr ) . '">' . esc_html( $text ) . '</a>', (int) $total_items, $text, $topic_link );

		// Deprecated BuddyBar
		} else {
			$return = apply_filters( $filter, array(
				'text' => $text,
				'link' => $topic_link
			), $topic_link, (int) $total_items, $text, $topic_title );
		}

		do_action( 'bbp_format_buddypress_notifications', $action, $item_id, $secondary_item_id, $total_items );

Hello.
First of all, thank you for developing such a great plugin program.
However, I would like to ask you a bit of trouble nowadays.
The issue is that the number of topics in forums index page are incorrect.

1. My system environment:
-Wordpress 5.3.2
-Bbpress 2.6.4
-Buddypress 5.1.2
-Bbpress Style pack 4.3.8
– Jetpack 8.1.1

2. My issue detail:
See captured image 1.
This is a page of Forums Index Main page.
(Sorry for not English, but I’ll try explain)
As you see the summary count number(left side) of each forum counts are incorrect with the parent forum’s count.

And in the parent forum index page,
each count of each line for forums are correct.
See captured image 2.

3. I tried to run recalculation.

I ran the recovery and recalculation tool. Though I have run it several times and it failed.
I am using some forums on a group page.
What is the problem?
In the past, it used well without any problems. There was no error in adding up posts. Recalculation also worked well.
Please let me know if you have a solution.
Thank you.

[Gary Eckstein]

Does the social login available in the Jetpack plugin (Jetpack → Settings → Discussion then enable “Let readers use WordPress.com, Twitter, Facebook, or Google accounts to comment.”) allow for visitors to comment on bbPress topics? I’ve tried on my bbPress and I don’t see the Google, Facebook etc. options so wondering if it’s something on my side or that the Jetpack social login doesn’t work with bbPress.
Any advice appreciated.

[Tanmoy Biswas]

I installed the bbPress plugin and activated the plugin, but my WordPress gives an error that the plugin is not activated.

Any suggestion?
What should I do now?

Hi there,

i am quite new to wordpress\bbpress but i already looked at https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-extract-a-topicreply-excerpt/

What i want to create is this.

[Robin W]

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

[hydrogriff]

The current support bbPress has a neat theme. It will be helpful if we can refer it for the best practices and customization. I searched and could not find the source code for the forum’s theme or WordPress’s support theme. Where to find it? Is it open source?

[Robin W]

ok, so you could use

Private groups

then when you set up each forum ‘I put the Forum creating shortcode on a page.’ you could also set up a group for the forum, add the creator as a member and give him permission to create topics.

It is a but labor intensive, but would work.

How many forums are you planning ?

[Chuckie]

I saw this discussion:

a way to check for subforums

It implied it was fixed in bbpress 2.1:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1803

But I don’t get it.

This is a sub forum with child forums:

<a class="bbp-forum-title" href="https://www.publictalksoftware.co.uk/support-forums/forum/meeting-schedule-assistant/midweek-editor/">Midweek Editor</a>

This is a forum with no child forums:

<a class="bbp-forum-title" href="https://www.publictalksoftware.co.uk/support-forums/forum/meeting-schedule-assistant/assignments-editor/">Assignments Editor</a>

As you can see, the code is exactly the same. I understood from the associated discussion that the forum with child forums would have a additional class specified so that we could use pseudo before / after to add a symbol to indicate it is a forum with sub forums.

Or do I have to go about this differently?

I am using bbp style pack.

Thanks for shedding any light on this.

[Chuckie]

I have moved this to here:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/showing-a-dashicon-to-indicate-sub-sub-forums/

[Robin W]

The best I can suggest is

GD bbPress Attachments

If you want better than this, then contact the developer https://www.dev4press.com/ Milan does bespoke development as well

[Robin W]

ok it is showing what I would expect.

topics are shown only when you go into each forum which is standard bbpress behavior.

If you would like all the forums listed with titles, then create a WordPress page for your firums and put a list of forums in it as shortcode

[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] – Display a single forums topics. eg. [bbp-single-forum id=32]

so for instance out this on a page

[bbp-single-forum id=32]
[bbp-single-forum id=33]
[bbp-single-forum id=34]

.

Hi

In the past, I had the same question, but I didn’t try to find a solution yet.
I’ll try to continue this thread.

It’s about the page title for the opening page or index page of the forum, shown in the browser’s title bar. For the topic starter, that title starts with:
Archiwum Fora
It’s Polish for “archive forums”.

For my site, it’s in Dutch:
Archief forums
It’s Dutch for “archive forums”.

It’s the title of the index page of the forum shown by the browser.
For forums themselves, the browser shows the title of the forum as text in the browser’s title bar. So that’s going well.

As the forum opening page or index page is live and active, it’s expected to not to see “archive” as title in the browser.

On my setup, I tried the suggestion of mclegend.
Administration -> You mean the WordPress Back-End with all the configuration settings?
For ‘Configuration’, I don’t see ‘Server Settings’, only ‘Settings’ and indeed ‘General’, which points to basic WordPress options / item “Forum Title” is not there.
There is however a ‘Settings’ with ‘Forums’, and I see forum-related options. eg. Forum root and below the title ‘Single Forum Slugs’, there is ‘forum’, which could be a title, but not labeled that way.
The setting or word ‘archive’ or Dutch translated variant is on those pages not mentioned.
I suppose the Dutch (or for topic starter, Polish version) is by using translation file(s) and localized version of the WordPress.
But it’s not about the translation, it’s about the original ‘archive’ in the title.

So, question remains:
How to get rid of the word ‘archive’ in the browser’s title bar for the opening page or index page of the forum, and/or where can we set a title manually?

Current setup: PHP 7.3.12 / WordPress 5.3.2 / bbPress 2.5.14 and seen on earlier versions of 2.5.x and on the later 2.6.x versions while testing.

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' );
	}

	/**

		$settings['lostpass'] = apply_filters( 'mat_login_widget_lostpass', $settings['lostpass'], $instance, $this->id_base );

untested, but try this

add_filter ('bbp_get_user_profile_link' , 'rew_get_user_name', 10 , 2) ;

function rew_get_user_name ($user_link, $user_id ) {
	// Validate user id
		$user_id = bbp_get_user_id( $user_id );
		if ( empty( $user_id ) ) {
			return false;
		}

		$user      = get_userdata( $user_id );
		$user_link = esc_html( $user->display_name ) ;

		// Filter & return
		return apply_filters( 'rew_get_user_name', $user_link, $user_id );
}

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