Hello, thank you in advance for your help.

Using the options in the bbPress settings section, I can limit the number of topics that appear on a page, but I cannot limit the number of replies.

I’m using the bbp style pack plugin but I didn’t see anything there that regulates this feature.

What could be causing this problem?

My plugin GD Quantum Theme Pro for bbPress is a full bbPress templates package replacement (this is a unique plugin, I am not aware of any other similar plugin availavbl), that give you 3 distinct designs to choose from, predefined color schemes, and the ability to create your own color scheme (all from customizer), with many options to customize things, including alternative layout for forum home page (with the grouped forums).

Here it is plugin home page:
https://plugins.dev4press.com/gd-quantum-theme-for-bbpress/

It has links to several demo websites where you can see it in action.

Regards,
Milan

I’m on bbPress 2.6.6, WordPress 5.8.1, and the site is http://bluebirdnut.com/forums/.
I had another SPAM attack last night, this time in the main forum. Hundreds of posts were made, all filled with what looked like Chinese characters. After the last attack, I set flood control at 90 seconds. Whatever or whoever made this attack managed to make it by just waiting 90 seconds between posts. I only caught it because I woke up at 4AM and checked my email and found a new participant had signed up for the forum. I UNchecked the box to “Automatically give registered visitors the
Participant forum role”, which the documentation says will force me to manually assign all user access to your forums. But the new user was able to post without my having approved his role as a participant. I’ve now installed a reCaptcha plugin, but I don’t understand why the settings I’ve specified are being ignored.
Oh, and when I checked the user’s profile (before deleting it) it was able to assign itself the MODERATOR role in addition to participant! I had to disable the plugin in the middle of the night in order to stop the attack. And the IP address of both this attack and the previous one (which I reported in this forum, but didn’t receive a single reply) resolved to the West coast of the US, not China.

Great tip about code snippets plugin, I didn’t know about that one, thanks!

Sadly the user is still showing up in bbpress as Participant. Although I was able to save the user with a Naturopath role in WP.

[angelfire4xx]

Thanks Robin, I did search and replace tutor > Naturopath and pasted the code at the end of functions.php. I would love to say it worked but…

Naturopath appeared as a forum role selection in the dropdown for each WP User. However when Naturopath was selected for the user and then saved, WP only displayed Role = “No role for this user”, and Capabilities = bbp_Naturopath.

When I tried a test post as that user, BBPress described me as a participant.
So, not there yet, but your help is appreciated 🙂
Linda

(PS: I’m looking for the Naturopath role to have the same capabilities as Participant.)

[angelfire4xx]

Not sure if this topic is out of date…?
I have WP 5.8.1
Trying to create a custom role based on the help here, but whatever I do it doesn’t work. Feeling a bit lost as I’m not a developer. I’ve read all the posts on this topic that I can find!
Added this to the end of functions.php
/* bbPress Custom Roles */
function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
$bbp_roles[‘my_custom_role1’] = array(
‘name’ => ‘Naturopath’,
‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
);

I saw this line sometimes was added so I tried appending that too, but it didn’t help.
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_dynamic_roles’, ‘add_custom_role’, 1 );
}

Any advice? Thanks!

Hi @ajtruckle! I just installed your plugin and while it added the fullscreen capability to the editor and warns you if you are going to leave the page after starting to reply, it doesn’t actually autosave after a specific time interval. Is it supposed to do that?

I’m using the latest versions of bbpress, buddypress, advanced tinymce, bbp style pack, and buddypress members only.

sorry, copied the wrong link

it should be

[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]

all the shortcodes are here

it could be a theme or plugin issue

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.

No we only have bbPress and the bbp style pack, Gamipress – bbPress integration and a plug-in for paid memberships. I don’t think this will be changing it. But there is a column underneath the sentence “you may use these HTML tags and attributes” with:

[Robin W]

hmmm… that’s not a bbpress phrase, do you have another bbpress related plugin that might be doing that ?

[abdurhman]

Good night …
How is everyone ..
Why not develop the extension to be an integrated forum system
More advanced forums and sections system
A system of powers and observers
Membership and group system
The system of titles and ranks for memberships
Search engine compatibility system
Friend links
Many things need to be developed in addition
I hope to see it in the next releases

I apologize as I didn’t set up the site to know the correct answer. I’ve been told by MillaN that this “freshness” is core to bbpress.

I just know the page as a url that I’ve placed in the custom html section.

“Hi,

I doubt this can be changed how the freshness update behaves. This is done with the Akismet addon in bbPress, and that addon has no filters to control it, so the only fix would be changing bbPress directly. This process calls normal bbPress functions that trigger updates to freshness, so it would be very hard to change with even direct modifications to bbPress because other parts depend on it.”

[Robin W]

you would do better to use the bbpress widget

(bbPress) Recent Topics

which lets you set a number

[fenna4498]

Goodday,

We are currently building our platform with the theme Vikinger and is including bbPress.
We have created more than 60 forum topics but only 50 topics will show up on the page.
The last one on the page is “paralympic sports” and the last one we created is “Yoga”.
You can find the topic when you search this in the search bar, but we want all topics to show up on the page.

<input type=”text” name=”이메일” value=”<?php bbp_sanitize_val( ‘user_password’ ); ?>” size=”20″ id=”user_password” maxlength=”100″ autocomplete=”off” />

[cryptobeya]

Hello, I have successfully installed BBpress and have it displayed on a forums page. I would like to have 2 different forums pages, one for investors and one for developers. I have created several forums, however, I would like to display certain ones on one page and certain forums on another. How do I accomplish this? Do I have to have have all forums display on the same page?

Wordpress = 5.8.1
BBpress = 2.6.6

I am also using Buddypress and bbpress with Divi, I would like to change the font size of forum headers and text, it’s too small. I have seen advice saying Appearance-bbpress etc but bbpress does not show under appearance?

After I Install and activate bbPress nothing shows up in my admin area sidebar (Forum, Topics, Replies do not appear). When I create a new page and paste there a shortcode for displaying the whole forum index, the page shows an error. I don’t know what went wrong, I tested on my localhost and it worked fine.
I also tried to delete the plugin and install it again.

[regnalf]

as no one answer this, i tried it by myself. i found a function in bbp-style-pack plugin for that.

if (function_exists('bsp_is_forum_unread_amount'))
{
	
	add_shortcode( 'bbp_count_new', 'bbpress_count_new' );
	function bbpress_count_new( $atts )
	{
		
		$output = "";
		$count_new = 0;
		

		$query_foren = new WP_Query(array( 'post_type' => 'forum' ));
		
		
		while($query_foren->have_posts())
		{
			$query_foren->the_post();
			
			$post_id = get_the_id();
			
			$bbp_forum_privategroups = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_private_group');			
			$bbp_user_privategroups = preg_split('/\*/', get_user_meta (get_current_user_id(), 'private_group', true), -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
			
			if ( count( $bbp_forum_privategroups ) == 0 )
			{
				$amount_unr = bsp_is_forum_unread_amount( $post_id );
				$count_new += $amount_unr->amount;
			}
			else
			{
				if ( count( array_intersect( $bbp_forum_privategroups, $bbp_user_privategroups )) > 0 )
				{
					$amount_unr = bsp_is_forum_unread_amount( $post_id );
					$count_new += $amount_unr->amount;
				}
			}
		}
		
		if ($count_new > 0 )
		{
			ob_start();
			?><span style="margin-left: 0.3rem; font-size: 0.8rem; padding: 0.4rem;"> <?php echo($count_new); ?></span><?php
			$output = ob_get_contents();
			ob_end_clean();
		}
		
		return $output;
	}

	
}

i hope i didn’t oversee something, because it is also combined with private forum groups!

I suppose this isn’t WordPress or BBPress specific, but trying to figure out if there is a WordPress way of doing this.

I am using BBPress, and on some page, such as https://somesite.com/lesson/some-lesson/, I have a block with a link to a discussion topic. That link is of form

<a href="javascript:void(0);" data-target="#myModal" data-href="somesite.com/forums/topic/required-discussion-1/" data-toggle="modal" class="openPopup"><h3 class="topictype-title">required discussion 1</h3></a>

The modal popup is handled in bootstrap via

<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" role="dialog">
   <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl">
      <div class="modal-content">
         <div class="modal-header"><button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button><h4 class="modal-title">Class Discussion</h4>
         </div>
         <div class="modal-body"></div><div class="modal-footer"><button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
        </div>
      </div>
   </div>
</div>

And with jQuery

    $('body').on('click', '[data-toggle="modal"]', function(){
        $($(this).data("target")+' .modal-body').load($(this).data("href"));
    });

What happens now, is after hitting submit, the modal goes away, and the forum topic page with the submitted reply is loaded: url https://somesite.com/forums/topic/required-discussion-1/#post-25847

The thing is, after user submits from the modal, I want either

**1) the refresh (so, going to https://somesite.com/forums/topic/required-discussion-1/#post-25847) to happen in the modal, or**

**2) for the modal to simply close and user is returned to exactly as they were prior to modal popping up, that is, to https://somesite.com/lesson/some-lesson/**

Ideas on how to ideally achieve these two behaviors? I have never worked with modals before, so curious what are some best practices here to get the desired behavior.

Thanks!
