You can customze two file form-reply.php and form-topic.php .

bbress> templates > default > form-topic.php at line 170

<input name="bbp_topic_subscription" id="bbp_topic_subscription" type="checkbox" value="bbp_subscribe" <?php bbp_form_topic_subscribed(); ?> />
↓
<input name="bbp_topic_subscription" id="bbp_topic_subscription" type="checkbox"checked value="bbp_subscribe" <?php bbp_form_topic_subscribed(); ?> />

bbress> templates > default > form-reply.php at line 104

<input name="bbp_topic_subscription" id="bbp_topic_subscription" type="checkbox" value="bbp_subscribe"<?php bbp_form_topic_subscribed(); ?> />
↓
<input name="bbp_topic_subscription" id="bbp_topic_subscription" type="checkbox"checked value="bbp_subscribe"<?php bbp_form_topic_subscribed(); ?> />

Then the topic and reply are automatically subscribed simply.
But the participant can uncheck the checkbox about subscription by himself.
If you do not want participant uncheck the checkbox, you can delete checkbox by CSS.

Put these customized files in your child theme’s folder-bbpress.

just given screenshots, impossible to help

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

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

[Robin W]

you’ll find the filter in

bbpress 2.6.6\includes\replies\functions.php

lines 473 and 768

Hi Guys, If someone is still having problems importing data due to looped ‘Converting anonymous topic authors’ AND if you don’t need anonymous topic authors at all then I found a solution (in my case: bbPress 2.6.6 importing from PHPbb)

1) find this file: /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/classes/class-bbp-converter.php
2) TAKE A BACKUP
3) Replace the content of the file with this: https://pastebin.com/cRGQiLWs
4) Save and enjoy.

Please remember, this will ignore anonymous topic authors so only use this solution if you don’t need them.

I hope I could help. David

How about the GD bbPress Attachments plugin?

GD-bbpress-attachment

[Julia]

How about this code?

type="checkbox" ⇒　type="checkbox"checked

You can customize the form-reply.php and form-topic.php .

<input name="bbp_topic_subscription" id="bbp_topic_subscription" type="checkbox"checked value="bbp_subscribe"<?php bbp_form_topic_subscribed(); ?> />

You can change the code simply and put both files in your child theme’s bbpress folder.

Thank you for your reply.

Maybe it might be interesting to add this info and a link to the buddyboss on the bbPress documentation tab ?

Thanks again.

‘reply page’ means content-single-topic.php .

<?php bbp_topic_subscription_link(); ?>

includes> topics > template.php

function bbp_topic_subscription_link( $args = array() ) {
	echo bbp_get_topic_subscription_link( $args );
}

	/**
	 * Get the topic subscription link
	 *
	 * A custom wrapper for bbp_get_user_subscribe_link()
	 *
	 * @since 2.5.0 bbPress (r5156)
	 * @since 2.6.0 bbPress (r6308) Add 'redirect_to' support
	 */
	function bbp_get_topic_subscription_link( $args = array() ) {

		// Defaults
		$retval      = false;
		$user_id     = bbp_get_current_user_id();
		$redirect_to = bbp_is_subscriptions()
			? bbp_get_subscriptions_permalink( $user_id )
			: '';

		// Parse the arguments
		$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'user_id'     => $user_id,
			'object_id'   => bbp_get_topic_id(),
			'object_type' => 'post',
			'before'      => ' | ',
			'after'       => '',
			'subscribe'   => esc_html__( 'Subscribe',   'bbpress' ),
			'unsubscribe' => esc_html__( 'Unsubscribe', 'bbpress' ),
			'redirect_to' => $redirect_to
		), 'get_topic_subscribe_link' );

		// Get the link
		$retval = bbp_get_user_subscribe_link( $r );

		// Filter & return
		return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_topic_subscribe_link', $retval, $r, $args );
	}

[Robin W]

only stuff is in the documentation tab.

buddyboss basically uses bbpress and buddypress so all the bbpress hooks are the same

[arryson]

I have looked- searched the forum and the web…

Is there any Developer Documentation for bbPress ?

What I have in mind is like what exists for buddyboss:

Developers

Thanks

[Robin W]

@supermagicien – thanks so much for posting back, it is always good to get feedback and updates !

Really glad you are now working on the latest bbpress 🙂

[supermagicien]

Good evening Robin,

I come to give some (good) news.

I recently cleaned up and removed a plugin that was out of date, so I was able to upgrade to the latest version of BBPRESS without any problems this time.

One problem that was persisting was posts and new topics disappearing, then thanks to you I understood that they were awaiting moderation, but I was not satisfied, I did not want to do moderation and let people post, I followed the advice of this topic: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/random-replies-being-marked-pending/

and now everything seems to work. 👍

[Robin W]

just found 5 mins to look at this

so installed free sydney theme from wordpress
downloaded and installed child theme from here
https://athemes.com/download/sydney-child-theme/

creates bbpress folder in child theme

copied \bbpress 2.6.6\templates\default\bbpress\content-search.php to child theme bbpress folder

all works fine.

I can only suggest you try

dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click ‘save’ – this resets the permalinks and often fixes 404 errors

[Robin W]

bbpress has an ID not a class (you don’t need to know what this means!) , so try

body#bbpress .memberoni_breadcrumbs {
display: none;
}

[bobcrawford]

Quick question regarding styling the pages made by bbpress. Inside the forum I’m using the bbpress breadcrumbs and they work wonderfully. My theme uses breadcrumbs, and I use them for the rest of my site, (non-forum pages)… but they don’t work properly within the forum. I have the option of disabling my theme’s breadcrumbs on a page by page basis, but it only disables them on the page I inserted the breadcrumbs in. I’m assuming this is because the rest of the forum pages are generated by bbpress.

So basically, I want to disable my themes breadcrumbs on all forum pages and let bbpress handle breadcrumbs there. My theme’s developer shared this with me…

“I think the easiest way to do this would be to hide the breadcrumbs on the required pages. I believe all bbpress pages have a body with the class “bbpress” so this should be doable with some simple CSS (you can add this to your child theme’s style.css file):

body.bbpress .memberoni_breadcrumbs {
display: none;
}”

But this doesn’t work for me. I’ve tried to inspect the page using chrome to see what I’m doing wrong, but can’t seem to figure it out.

Any help would be appreciated!

[Robin W]

so I reckon you have followed this thread

Search not working

yes ?

If so it should work, but are you using free or pro version of the sydney theme?

[Burkhard Erdlenbruch]

I’m using Inline Image Upload for bbPress, even the Pro version. It really enables TinyMCE, if set so.

Still TinyMCE was deactivated after updating to 5.7 because the Image Upload plugin was deactivated. This had happened before.

Whooda thought… 😉

[lucalemboure]

Hello,

I’m using sydney 1.6 and bbpress, and the search result is allways a 404.

I tried to copy the content-search.php to childtheme/bbpress but it didn’t work.

there is an other content-search.php in the root folder of sydney theme, but when i rename it, it’s still not working.

Do you know how to solve this ?

Best regards,
Lucas

[Robin W]

ok, I agree it is annoying, but bbpress just uses worldpress registration and login, and is not very clever with these elements.

You are best to sort it using a plugin such as ‘theme my login’ to fix all these issues

Theme My Login

[Robin W]

dashboard>pages>all pages> and select the ‘activities’ page.

From there select ‘page’ on right hand side

scroll down and you should see ‘topics for posts’

and a tickbox ‘use a bbpress forum topic for comments on this post’ – untick this.

If you do not see that part, then click the 3 vertical dots and scroll to the bottom of that page, select preferences and then panels and then click the topics for posts

Sorry this is wordpress not me making this hard

[Robin W]

that ability is on bbpress

so set the user to particpant, and then in the relevant forums, you will see the ability to set the user as a moderator for that forum on the right hand side in edit forum

[rveonly]

Can you suggest how to increase the number of roles and change the role settings exclusively in the bbPress forum (so that these roles do not apply to the site into which the forum is integrated)?
Where exactly do you go to configure this feature? Or which extension will help you do this?

We need the ability to appoint certain people as moderators of individual sub-forums.
Sorry for my English!

[patdunn]

Robin, thought I should let you know that I also have the Simple Membership plugin and it’s integrated with bbPress. Perhaps this makes a difference with regard to a fix?

[Robin W]

interesting..it looks ok on my test site, but I can see it doesn’t on yours.

I should state that I am just a bbpress user who helps out here, not the plugin author.

2 choices

1. amend the actual widget file – yes that is said by many to be bad practice, but bbpress does not do frequent releases, and if it is your site and you know what you changed, is probably the quickest and easiest answer

2. clone the widget to your theme’s child functions file. so take the whole function that starts

class BBP_Forums_Widget extends WP_Widget {

Now you’ll need to rename it, so change BBP_Forums_Widget wherever quoted to something unique, and change names/title in these lines

public function __construct() {
		$widget_ops = apply_filters( 'bbp_forums_widget_options', array(
			'classname'                   => 'widget_display_forums',
			'description'                 => esc_html__( 'A list of forums with an option to set the parent.', 'bbpress' ),
			'customize_selective_refresh' => true
		) );

		parent::__construct( false, esc_html__( '(bbPress) Forums List', 'bbpress' ), $widget_ops );
	}

	/**
	 * Register the widget
	 *
	 * @since 2.0.0 bbPress (r3389)
	 */
	public static function register_widget() {
		register_widget( 'BBP_Forums_Widget' );
	}

you can then amend the offending line.

[patdunn]

The bbPress codex explains that when bbPress is installed it creates three new menu items in the WordPress backend. These are Forums, Topics and Replies.

I do not have the Forums topic. Is there some way that I can add it in?
