@robin-w Installed your plugin on and have some feedback for you.

I had already solved the template problem with archives and singles.

Outside of Robin’s plugin, the trick to archives was to setup an archives template, use the Post Archive widget, and in the dropdown setting for the display, choose Full Content, instead of Classic, or Cards. That will output the BBPress forums.

Anyhow,Robin, the one place I was able to get to work were the user profiles, and your plugin fixed that for me. Once I had your plugin in place, the profiles started working. Of course, the plugin also broke all the work I did on the Elementor templates before I installed the plugin. It turns out, I don’t need to do any Elementor template work at all with your plugin.

The only issue is that all the BBPress pages render as 100% full width. I looked into /hell0-elementor-bbpress-fix/templates/bbpress.php to what I can do there. I noticed that there wasn’t any unique specificity in the class names within that template. All the class names are generic. My solve for this was to add the class “forum-container” to the class definition on Line 17.

This gave me something to target to handle the widths of the forum pages.

I imported a forum from vbulletin to bbpress. The Topis are all important and if I go to “View” from the administration I see them correctly and they also have the right category but if I go to see the forum category no Topics is displayed.
How can I do?
Thank you

Hi there,
There is a setting in “Settings | Discussion”, Whereby you can set the amount of links a forum user can insert in the forum post:
“Hold a comment in the queue if it contains n or more links”.
I had set it to 2. I also have the plugin: “Image Upload for BBPress” installed, to enable users to upload images.
Unfortunately, when a user adds now e.g. 2 or more images, the post gets held for moderation. The same happens if the user enters one image and one hyperlink.
This is not the desired effect.
Can I report this as a bug plz?
kind regards
Daniel

Hi Robin,

thank you very much.

Currently it is not possible to make a nested reply on the first post of the topic. Only at the second post the nested reply works. I think that is not a concept of bbpress and has to do with the last wordpress update?

Kind regards

Hi, i’ve searched a lot but i didn’t find any answer. On bbpress website i’ve built 2 differnt type of forum, 1 is private and 1 is public. Now i need to deny access only to public forum to a certain wp user role (already set).
I think i have two ways, but how to do them?
1. Turn public forum to a private forum and automatically assign to a every new-subscriber the access to this forum, so i can exclude user assign them a different role.
2. Block the access only to public forum to a certain role (i’ve tried with many plugins as content control or user access registration but it seems that doesn’t work.)

Any suggestions? Even php code to implement for me would be ok. Thanks.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I am at my wits end trying to figure this out….

I would like to get people automatically redirected to a page inside the forum instead of the WP dashboard, but it is not working. Here is what I have done so far:

1. After they are accepted into the program, they are sent to our register page: https://arianegoodwin.com/curiosity-cocktails-register-here/

2. I did figure out redirect code for after they register so they see this page:

Log In

(this is the code snippet I used for this):
// Redirect Registration Page
function my_registration_page_redirect()
{
global $pagenow;

// Standard Registration Redirect
if ( (strtolower($pagenow) == ‘wp-login.php’) && (strtolower($_GET[‘action’]) == ‘register’) ) {
wp_redirect( home_url(‘/register/’) );
}

// Redirection after successful registration
if ( (strtolower($pagenow) == ‘wp-login.php’) && (strtolower($_GET[‘checkemail’]) == ‘registered’) ) {
wp_redirect( home_url(‘/forums/log-in/’) );
}
}

add_filter( ‘init’, ‘my_registration_page_redirect’ );

3. After they click on the link in their email to create their password, they are getting sent to the WP Dashboard and I need them to go to this page instead:

Curiosity Cocktails Topic Map

I have tried using Peters Login Redirect and that has not worked. I have also tried using this code inside the Snippets, which isn’t working either:

// Send new users to a special page
function redirectOnFirstLogin( $custom_redirect_to, $redirect_to, $requested_redirect_to, $user )
{
// URL to redirect to
$redirect_url = ‘https://arianegoodwin.com/forums/curiosity-cocktails-topic-map/’;
// How many times to redirect the user
$num_redirects = 1;
// If implementing this on an existing site, this is here so that existing users don’t suddenly get the “first login” treatment
// On a new site, you might remove this setting and the associated check
// Alternative approach: run a script to assign the “already redirected” property to all existing users
// Alternative approach: use a date-based check so that all registered users before a certain date are ignored
// 172800 seconds = 48 hours
$message_period = 172800;

/*
Cookie-based solution: captures users who registered within the last n hours
The reason to set it as “last n hours” is so that if a user clears their cookies or logs in with a different browser,
they don’t get this same redirect treatment long after they’re already a registered user
*/
/*

$key_name = ‘redirect_on_first_login_’ . $user->ID;

if( strtotime( $user->user_registered ) > ( time() – $message_period )
&& ( !isset( $_COOKIE[$key_name] ) || intval( $_COOKIE[$key_name] ) < $num_redirects )
)
{
if( isset( $_COOKIE[$key_name] ) )
{
$num_redirects = intval( $_COOKIE[$key_name] ) + 1;
}
setcookie( $key_name, $num_redirects, time() + $message_period, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN );
return $redirect_url;
}
*/
/*
User meta value-based solution, stored in the database
*/
$key_name = ‘redirect_on_first_login’;
// Third parameter ensures that the result is a string
$current_redirect_value = get_user_meta( $user->ID, $key_name, true );
if( strtotime( $user->user_registered ) > ( time() – $message_period )
&& ( ” == $current_redirect_value || intval( $current_redirect_value ) < $num_redirects )
)
{
if( ” != $current_redirect_value )
{
$num_redirects = intval( $current_redirect_value ) + 1;
}
update_user_meta( $user->ID, $key_name, $num_redirects );
return $redirect_url;
}
else
{
return $custom_redirect_to;
}
}

add_filter( ‘rul_before_user’, ‘redirectOnFirstLogin’, 10, 4 );

Good spot! I’m using a very old bbPress version in a project and can reproduce this error. Upgrade is not an option this time. Changing the second param to true fixes the error I’m getting.

[Robin W]

I’ve just taken a look at the front end restore.

The bbpress restore function calls a wordpress function wp_untrash_post which sets the restored status to ‘draft’.

I’m pretty sure that it didn’t used to do that, so am presuming it’s a wordpress change.

However if you are using

bbp style pack

then I’ve added a fix for this to the ‘bbpress bug fixes’ tab.

If you want code, then put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

Code Snippets

add_filter ('wp_untrash_post_status', 'rew_correct_untrash_status' , 10, 3) ;

function rew_correct_untrash_status ($new_status, $post_id, $previous_status) {
	$post_check = get_post( $post_id );
	//update_post_meta ($post_id , 'rew_type', $post_check->post_type) ;
	//if it's a reply or topic, then change status back to $previous_status
	if ($post_check->post_type == bbp_get_reply_post_type() || $post_check->post_type == bbp_get_topic_post_type()) {
		$new_status = $previous_status ;
	}
return $new_status ;
}

In my last post there is a wrong information. After clicking on delete in the frontend, the page with the forum overview reloads and shows topics which are pushed to trash. Curiously not all topics from “trash” are displayed in the frontend. It looks absolutly random. And its absolutly not possible to change the status of the “trashed” topic in the frontend.

I also deactivate some plugins which extends the bbpress plugin. But that takes also no effect.

Does anyone have an idea?

[Robin W]

There are 2 standard bbpress templates, one for the topic form, and one for the reply form.

My plugin amends these templates, but I’d bet that so does the Yuozify plugin. Plugins tend to load in alphabetical order, so the Yuozify probably takes preference, but in any case, if we reversed it, my plugin would overwrite any changes they have made.

I don’t have access to the Yuozify plugin as it is paid.

Chances are that if we put a combined one in your child theme it would work, but this would be beyond free help, although not expensive.

Maybe contact me via my contact page http://www.rewweb.co.uk/contact-me/ and I’ll see if I can help further

Hey, GD bbPress Toolbox Pro 6.5 now calculates statistics for these elements:

• Topics with Favorites
• Topics Favorites Totals
• Topics with Subscriptions
• Topics Subscriptions Totals
• Forums with Subscriptions
• Forums Subscriptions Totals
• Users with Topics Favorites
• Users with Topics Subscriptions
• Users with Forums Subscriptions

They can be displayed via the plugin’s own Statistics widget or via PHP function.

Regards,
Milan

ok, so you have users who have a wordpress role, but no bbpress role – yes?

If so, then testing for a bbpress role, or as you are suggesting a capability such as create_topic seems a sensible solution.

[bobdobbs]

Hi Robin.

I specifically want to discover if the user is logged in as a user of bbpress.

This is to account for a case where I have some registered websites users who are not forum users.

For the moment I’m testing capabilities.
At the moment the only people with access to the forum are people who can create posts.

So I’m testing of the user has the capability create_topic

This might work, but feels a bit clumsy to me.

[Marco]

Dear community,

if I want to delete a topic or a post by clicking on “Recycle Bin”, it is no longer possible to restore the topic/post because the “marked” object has already been removed from the database.
If I click on “Delete” again, the page is reloaded and I see all the topics that I had deleted. After reloading the page, these posts have disappeared.

I use the bbpress version 2.6.6. The wordpress version is 5.7.2. I am using the Avada theme. The forum is password secured, so it is not possible for me to share a link here.

Thank your very much if you know how to fix this issue.

Kind regards
Marco

[Robin W]

I suspect those functions are bbpress version 1

bbpress 2.x just uses wordpress login, so the standard wordpress function

is_user_logged_in()

will tell you if the user is logged in.

[bobdobbs]

I’m wanting to create conditional logic that responds to whether a user is logged in to bbpress.

Googling helped me to find these two functions:

bb_current_user_can()
bb_is_user_logged_in()

However, when I use them, I get the error “Call to undefined function bb)…”.

This happens even when I tie my containing function to the hook ‘plugins_loaded’, which I believe fires after all activated plugins have loaded.

(I first tried to use the hook ‘wp’)

So I’m just double-checking…

Should I be able to use either of those two functions to test if a user requesting a resource is a logged-in bbpress user?

[ecarlson]

I’m not sure if this is an issue with bbPress or BuddyPress; forgive me if I’m posting this in the wrong place. I recently added BuddyPress to my installation which already had bbPress, and I see that when a BuddyPress group has a forum, it’s added to the list of forums like the bbPress ones. Awesome!

However, if I change the description of the BuddyPress group, the bbPress forum list still shows the old description. If I go to Forums > All Forums, I can edit the description which updates the description on the forums list. Is this a bug, or are you supposed to have to update it in two places? Is it allowing for some users to have a different description in bbPress vs BuddyPress?

BuddyPress: 8.0.0
Wordpress: 5.7.2

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, 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.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

I am running BBpress with the Highend theme. I have set up the forums and they look great, but the “subscribe” button is missing. “Allow users to subscribe to forums and topics” is checked in the settings. I assume it’s a theme conflict, but without the forum subscribe button, the functionality for our users is crippled. Is there any way to correct this? Thanks!

ok, so if you are a keymaster then I can only suggest

1. reset the permalinks – dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this resets them.

2. if that doesn’t fix, it could be a theme or plugin issue

Apologies for opening an old thread, given w3 total cache is not ideally suited for caching for BBPRESS – but is good for wordpress, is there an alternative cashing plugin suitable for BBPRESS or is BBPRESS generally best left un cashed ?

Thanks

[Robin W]

what is your bbpress role in

dashboard>users

[goosie00]

I’ve done something, but I don’t know what? I think the slugs for the ‘forum’ page may have had a conflict (there was a warning message, but I changed the names), and I think the tabs went missing after I rebuilt the tables, but the tabs have totally disappeared now, and I don’t know how to get them back. Its a backend issue, as its not affecting the front end – you can still get to the forum page
I uninstalled and deleted/reinstalled bbpress, and it hasn’t brought the tabs back.
I’m really worried that if I delete the Buddypress plugin, I will lose my settings and customer lists of Participants. Any advice would be very much appreciated.
