Hello,

How about just adding filter buttons to your current page so that users on your site aren’t directed to another page, instead the tags are displayed based on “Filter” type buttons they click while on that same page. Kinda like a filtered portfolio type set up.

Example
Filter buttons at the top of your tag cloud(i.e A-F, G-L,M-S, etc), when user clicks say “A-F”, then all the tags that are within that range are shown, while the rest are hidden. But you’d still be on the same page. Then have a “All” button so they could get back to the default view of all them being shown.

Just a bbpress user here, just had a idea for you on that so thought I’d mention it.

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

The Divi Theme Builder Header is not loading on BBPress search results. Instead, it looks as though it is loading the default WordPress header.

Incorrect header

Correct Header

Home

I contacted Elegant Themes already and they directed me here.
Thoughts?

Wordpress v5.3.2
BBPress v2.6.4

[Robin W]

ok, I can only suggest that you revert to the standard tests

you could exclude forums from caching in sg optimizer

go to

dashboard>sg optimizer>supercacher settings>Excluding URLs

and set up your site’s forums urls

eg (and you will need to change these is you don’t have the default slugs set up)

add these

http://www.site.com/forums/*
http://www.site.com/forum/*
http://www.site.com/topic/*
http://www.site.com/reply/*

[Robin W]

if you have subscriptions set in

dashboard>settings>forums

then this should show.

I suspect that another plugin or your theme is causing this.

Oddly, the sidebar content for user shows (username, links to topics, etc.) even though there is a 404 error where the main forums should be. I tried running bbPress with almost all plugins disabled and default theme enabled – still get the 404. But when main page is refreshed, forums display correctly.

Hi,

I’m currently testing bbPress (with the default plugin templates/themes) and have noticed that a number of inputs do not have labels associated with them. I run a number of sites that require we meet a standard of WCAG 2.1 AA.

Is this something that is likely to be amended in upcoming versions?

And does anyone have any advice regarding making bbPress compliant?

Thanks
Laura

My bbPress installation is customized a little and has subscribe and favourite buttons in a different place. Since 2.6 extra favourite and subscribe links are appearing in the lead topic header. Is there a way to remove the default ones and keep the ones generated by <?php bbp_topic_favorite_link();?> and <?php bbp_topic_subscription_link(); ?>?

[Robin W]

no, that probably wasn’t the problem, if you had been on version 5.x then that might be the issue.

If php version doesn’t fix then it could be a theme or plugin issue

Hey Guyes,

This issue because you are using this function [bbp_list_forums] in [loop-single-forum.php] with old (2.5.0) default args array in your active theme.

You must use [bbp_get_forum_id()] in function’s args, So try to find this function inside the active theme and change the value of the [forum_id] argument.

bbp_list_forums( array(
    'before'            => '<ul class="bbp-forums-list">',
    'after'             => '</ul>',
    'link_before'       => '<li class="bbp-forum">',
    'link_after'        => '</li>',
    'count_before'      => ' (',
    'count_after'       => ')',
    'count_sep'         => ', ',
    'sep'               => '',
    'forum_id'          => bbp_get_forum_id(), /* Fix for bbPv2.6.3 */
    'show_topic_count'  => true,
    'show_reply_count'  => true 
) );

Hope it helps.

[haddly]

I have it dequeued in my functions.php file:
wp_dequeue_style( 'bbp-default' );

[Robin W]

@hydrogriff – ok, not sure that I ma goung to be able to help much further.
I can only suggest it could be a theme or plugin issue

[Robin W]

looked in pastebin.

I’m not sure what this function is there for, except possibly to speed up site display if they have not accessed the forum part ?

function dequeue_bbpress_style() {
    if ( class_exists('bbPress') ) {
      if ( ! is_bbpress() ) {
        wp_dequeue_style('bbp-default');
        wp_dequeue_style( 'bbp_private_replies_style');
        wp_dequeue_script('bbpress-editor');
      }
    }
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dequeue_bbpress_style', 99 );

it does tend to suggest that you have bbp_private_replies enabled ???

[Robin W]

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' );

getting lots of 404 erros.

plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/user.js?ver=5.3.2

can i have the solution ?

[Robin W]

@casiepa

you need to change this in your toolkit plugin includes/go-functions.php

lines 55 & 56

from

function bbptoolkit_bbpress_list_forums() {
	$args = array();

to

function bbptoolkit_bbpress_list_forums($args) {

This brings through default values, otherwise under 2.6 sub forums don’t get shown.

[pointydrip]

When I try to access mysite.com/forums it does not work with my theme so I copied archive-forum.php to my child theme.

The default archive-forum.php template allows the bbpress content to appear, but not the theme header, so I stripped away the bbpress header items and replaced ‘archive-forum’ with ‘page’ like so:

<?php
get_header(); ?>
    <div id="forum-front" class="bbp-forum-front">
        <div class="entry-content">
            <?php bbp_get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>
        </div>
    </div><!-- #forum-front -->
    <?php do_action( 'bbp_after_main_content' ); ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php
get_footer();

This makes the theme header work, but now the bbpress content is broken.
I am getting the following error:
Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in public_html/wp-includes/post-template.php on line 316

The line in question is:

if ( $elements['page'] > count( $elements['pages'] ) ) { // if the requested page doesn't exist
		$elements['page'] = count( $elements['pages'] ); // give them the highest numbered page that DOES exist
	}

From what I understand /forums is not a page that ‘exists’, but I’ not comfortable modifying WP core. Any help would be appreciated…

[Robin W]

template are designed to be alterable and added to your theme

so

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-profile.php

transfer this to your pc and edit whatever you want

and save

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

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/user-profile.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Hi

The user profile pages of my bbPress forums are getting indexed in google.

Example pages
https://domainname.com/users/displayname/
https://domainname.com/users/displayname/topics
https://domainname.com/users/displayname/engagement
https://domainname.com/users/displayname/replies

So I want to add <META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW” /> to all the above pages

I think I need to insert the META into wordpress > wp-content > plugins > bbpress > templates > default > bbpress > user-profile.php

But I don’t want to edit the plugin file and lose the change during plugin update.

Is there a PHP code I can use to make the insertion to the user-profile.php?

Thanks in advance for the help

Hi all,

Looking for a way to stop spam user regestrations. By default the users are “spectators” so the spam users cant do anything but is there a way to stop them outright?

I enabled reCAPTCHA for bbPress but, unless I am doing something wrong, it doesn’t seem to stop the regestrations (in fact not sure its working).

Thanks.
