I can’t find the solution for custom redirect when forgot password form is sent (the form with only one field, your username or email, and “get new password” button, which triggers the email with the reset password link in it, which then opens the reset password form).

The reset password form which has two fields, “new password” and “repeat new password” (and buton save password). I solved the reset password redirect with code snippet

function wpse_lost_password_redirect() {
    wp_redirect( 'myurl' ); 
    exit;
}
add_action('password_reset', 'wpse_lost_password_redirect');

But it doesn’t work for the lost password form. Is there also a redirect function for forgot password, which I could use?

Have WP 5.7.2., bbpress 2.6.6., also use themeMyLogin plugin.

Thanks in advance!

ok, this thread was for version 1 of the plugin.

If you have an issue, 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

This code is from version 1 of bbpress, so probably no longer works.

The Plug-in section has just disappeared off my dashboard. I’m a user not an IT person so not au fait. The developer (who has now left me to my own devices) made me super-admin during development to open up more functions but now he’s gone I seem to have regressed to a mere Administrator and can’t see the plug-ins anymore. My reading about that suggests that even as an administrator I should be able to manage plug-ins but it’s not happening.

Hi there,
I use bbpress as my site forum. In the case of desktop there is no problem but in responsive mode (mobile phone) avatar covers role of author. could you please suggest me a solution?
here is an example link:
https://www.ninitalar.com/forums/topic/%d8%b4%d9%88%db%8c%d9%86%d8%af%d9%87-%d9%84%d8%a8%d8%a7%d8%b3-%d8%a8%da%86%d9%87/

[Robin W]

my test site with just twentytwenty and bbpress works both with or without the prefix – I just make sure the landing page has the same permalink as the forum slug.

Every site is unique, so if that is not working for you, I’m not sure what to suggest next – sorry 🙁

[Robin W]

not sure how this is related to bbpress ?

[n3wjack]

What I do in this case is use client side JavaScript code to inject a new HTML element at the position you want it, with your custom code.
I put a Custom HTML widget on the page which has all the required JS & CSS code.
The advantage of this approach is that you don’t need to mess with the PHP files of your WordPress or bbPress setup, so when you do an upgrade in the future, you don’t have to worry about your changes being overwritten, or your site to break because of your changes.

I use the code below to place a Reply button on top of the page. When it’s clicked, it will scroll down to the new post form at the bottom of the page (the most recent post is on top).

<script type="text/javascript">
	// Add the reply shortcut button at the top.
	let btn = document.createElement("a");
    btn.href='javascript:document.getElementsByClassName("bbp-footer")[0].scrollIntoView()'	

	btn.innerText='Reply'
	btn.className='nj-replybtn'

	let n = document.getElementsByClassName('bbp-replies')[0];

	if (n !== null) {  
		n.parentNode.insertBefore(btn, n);
	}

</script>
<style>
	.nj-replybtn {
		color: white;
		background-color: #007acc;
		
		padding: 5px;
		margin: 2px;
	}
</style>

[n3wjack]

I’m wondering if there’s a bbpress plugin that functions like a like button you see on Facebook or Twitter, or the emoticon replies the Slack chat app has, to give feedback on a post without actually replying to it.

Hello everyone,

Hope you’re doing well! I am having an issue with bbPress showing the date and time of forum posts. It simply shows as ” at ” above the person’s profile picture. Is there any setting I need to adjust to fix this?

Example: https://associationmarketingacademy.com/forums/topic/class-3-copywriting-and-email-marketing/

Thank you,

Tom

WP version 5.7.2
bbPress Version: 2.6.6
Astra Theme Version: 3.4.2
Website: https://authorready.com/forum

I did a new install of bbPress on my existing site with the Astra LearnDash theme with no child theme. I followed the instructions on the step-by-step page (https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/) to set up the forum and am using the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] to display the forum on my page.

When I navigate to a topic from the forum (i.e., Forum > Announcements > Test Topic Creation), it shows my 404 page instead of the topic. The same thing happens if I go into the topic from the admin panel and try to preview the page. I have tried to following from other topic support tickets with no success:

1. Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks and clicked save. No change.
2. Installed Health Check & Troubleshooting. Health Check was good.
3. Entered troubleshooting mode and deactivated all but the bbPress plugin with the Twenty Twenty theme. Still no topics, but redirected to the home page instead of the 404.
4. Installed bbPress WP Tweaks and tried all of the .php page settings with no change.

Is there something I’m missing? I’m at a loss of what else to try or why it may not be working.

[Robin W]

ok, so apart from bbpress, what other bbpress related plugins are you running ?

[thirdcupcreative]

Hello, I have bbPress installed on a website for my LearnDash course users. Recently, I began receiving 2-3 copies of every forum reply email. So anytime I receive an email notification from bbPress, the same email is sent to me 3 times.

Any idea why this is happening or how to fix?

[potatolove]

Hello,
i’m using bbPress on a website. I want to integrate two links, to show all topics which are “unanswered” and which are “answered”. Do you know, how to do this?

Also, i want to have like a “sticky reply in a topic”. Do you also know how to realize that?

Thanks! 🙂

[Robin W]

ok, so I looked and yes adding elementor as a 3rd option causes the issue.

So this is a combination of plugin actions, not a single one.

I should say here that I am just a bbpress user who helps out here, I’m not one of the authors.

I could spend many hours looking at all three plugins to track why the issue happens, but the easiest solution is just to add back the bbpress capabilities after plugins have loaded

so this plugin which is just 4 lines long does that.

BbPress Add Capabilities

just download and then add to your site and if I have understood it, you should be back and working again.

Let me know if/that it works.

[Robin W]

dashboard>settings>discussion is a default wordpress option, so if you don’t have this, then something is wrong outside of bbpress !!

it could be a theme or plugin issue

[vincenzon617]

I am having some difficulty figuring out what this does, apologies, my PHP knowledge is very minimal. What exactly is the

if (! empty($_POST[‘my_parameter’] ) ) {
$myvalue = $_POST[‘my_parameter’] ;
}
else $myvalue='empty';

part doing? Specifically, what would ‘my_parameter’ be? Would this be the name or value of what I would like the meta to be?
I have looked up what $_POST does, and the variables that I am using are declared using JavaScript. Now I am wondering if I will have to change my approach to checking the user input for the checkbox (something which isn’t related to bbpress).

Many thanks

[nicolaboscolo]

To reproduce the problem I installed a clean wordpress 5.7.1. Then Elementor, bbPress and the test plugin. Then I activated them in the same order. At the moment that I activate the test plugin bbPress menu items literally disappear.
PS: in this configuration I am able access the forum as a user. But when i discovered it on my working site the first time, forum pages were blocked as i described before.

[wleanadev]

Hi!
It is not a new site (been active for a few years), but I just started to use bbpress and experienced this. It happened to all users (including moderators that I assigned), and it seems to happen all the time consistently. Whenever they edit their posts, it appears “pending approval” and I had to approve their edit. Setting the minutes value doesn’t make any difference. Thank you!

[Robin W]

ok, I installed the test plugin, and have not been able to find an issue.

For instance you say ‘bbPress admin menu items disappear.’ – I can still see all admin items, can you specify an exact example of one that goes eg ‘in this I no longer see that’

[Huzoor Bux]

Hello @Jing did you find anything for your bbPress mobile app APIs because I am also looking for some APIs to make a mobile app for my bbPress.

[ommi]

Hello, I recently created a forum website using bbpress and dispute theme, but I just want when someone login to your account they will directly land to my discussion forum.

please tell me how I can do it?

[natekinkead]

I know this thread is super old, but I thought I would jump in here to let anybody (who stumble upon this thread) know that I developed a free plugin in the WordPress plugin directory that adds voting to bbPress. https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-voting/

Just like the OP found, there was nothing out there that offered this pretty common functionality to a bbPress forum, so I developed my own plugin to do it. I hope you like it!
