Hi everyone,

Does anyone know how can i remove “Create New Topic” at the bottom of my forum
I want to disable “Create New Topic” in for all logon users
I want to control the topics myself and only allow particpants to reply to topics that are in the forum.

I’m using bbPress (2.6.6), bbp style pack (4.7.2)
Thank you so much for any help

Hello,

to try how pagination works I choosed in settings -> topic and reply per page:
One for topic page and one for reply page.
And I have choosen nested replies 4 levels deep.

I have two topics:
– 23 replies for the first topic
– one reply for the second topic

This is how my pagination looks:

On forum page:
Pagination shows 3 pages.
1. page: shows 2 topics instead of one.
2. page: shows only first topic instead of second and pagination shows two pages.
3. page: message appears: “sorry now topics found” and no pagination

On topic page:
no pagination at all.

What could might be the problem?

I use wordpress: 5.6 and bbpress: 2.6.6

Thanks a lot

[Robin W]

only ones I know are

Preview Post

and I’ve not looked at either

[Gunivortus]

There are forums where, after having written something to contribute, before definitely saving it, a preview can be viewed, in which the post is presented as it would be after saving it.
Is this also possible in bbpress? (If yes, how / where?)

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses wordpress in the background for login. When login fails wordpress seems to take over.

I added some code in

bbp style pack

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login failure

to try and overcome this

Thank you for your help. Thanks to your code, I manage to set up open close button in the reply page .
So in bbp style pack or my customized code, the open close status button sets on all comments in the reply page.
It would be un-displayable by using CSS code except for top comment[topic author comment].

Do you have some sample code to hide unnecessary open close status buttons by CSS(Cascading Style Sheet) ?

Example

//topic author		
<a href="http://～　　　#post-1762" class="bbp-reply-header">#1762</a>
class="bbp-topic-close-link"
//------------------------------------------------------------------------
//reply first
<a href="http://～　　 #post-1763" class="bbp-reply-header">#1763</a>
class="bbp-topic-close-link"

#bbpress-forums  XXX.bbp-topic-close-link {
        display: none;
  }

[Robin W]

ok so

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

find

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_title' ); ?>

		<a class="bbp-forum-title" href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_title(); ?></a>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_title' ); ?>

and replace with

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_title' ); ?>
		
		<?php if  (!bbp_is_forum_category( bbp_get_forum_id())){ ?>

		<a class="bbp-forum-title" href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_title(); ?></a>
		
		<?php } else { ?>
		
		<div class="bbp-forum-title"> <?php bbp_forum_title();?> </div>
		<?php }
		?>
		
		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_title' ); ?>

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/loop-single-forum.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

you will probably need to add some styling to the class “bbp-forum-title”

@robin-w

@karado58 – thanks for your help – this is exactly what we need 🙂
There are very few helpers here, but this is community software.
I am just a bbpress user who tries to help others as I was helped when I started, but I cannot get to every post.

Robin,
I should of used better choice of words on my post!
I apologize to you Robin and to all others here that share their precious knowledge and time unselfishly helping us newcomers to bbPress!
Thank you for your kind words, Robin, and I’m sorry!

Addding close topic select box in the reply page

Only the moderate can set up open/close on topic status now.
I have plan to change the author in topic to set open/close status by yourself.

The code ongoing

function my_bbp_theme_before_topic_form_submit_wrapper() {
    
    if (!current_user_can('moderate', $topic_id)) {   //  The all visitor can see open/close box
        echo '<label for="bbp_topic_status">'.esc_html_e('Topic Status:', 'bbpress').'</label><br />';
        bbp_form_topic_status_dropdown();
    }
}
add_action('bbp_theme_before_topic_form_submit_wrapper', 'my_bbp_theme_before_topic_form_submit_wrapper');

function my_bbp_get_topic_statuses($topic_statuses, $topic_id) {

    //  The all visitor may be possible to chang the topic status,if the select box works.
    if (!current_user_can('moderate', $topic_id)) {
        $topic_statuses = array(
            bbp_get_public_status_id() => _x('Open', 'Open the topic', 'bbpress'),
            bbp_get_closed_status_id() => _x('Closed', 'Close the topic', 'bbpress')
        );
    }
    return $topic_statuses;
}
add_filter('bbp_get_topic_statuses', 'my_bbp_get_topic_statuses', 10, 2);

Two questions

1st
The topic open/close select box is shown all visitor except for author.
So this code need to change all vistor to topic author.
But I don’t know.

if (!current_user_can('moderate', $topic_id)) {　 // All visitor can do
↓
if(current_user_can( '//topic author//' ) ) {    // Only topic author can do

2nd
The select box is shown, but it doesn’t work at all.
In short, the select box is appearance only.
So I have to add some code to work open/colse select box.
The select box does not link to topic status function.
But I don’t know how to chage the code.

    $topic_statuses = array(
    bbp_get_public_status_id() => _x('Open', 'Open the topic', 'bbpress'),
    bbp_get_closed_status_id() => _x('Closed', 'Close the topic', 'bbpress')
    )

“We are happy with them having no FORUM role (only a site role) when the account is created. The problem of the being able to log them out when the account is created is not related – please note they are separate, and only one is a problem. We do not want to assign, by BBPress settings or code, any account a forum role. We only want them to earn a forum role when they log in to the site, as they do. This was specific custom code added after an earlier change, and took the devs to get it done.”

[Robin W]

that’s great.

You might want to take a look at bbp_new_topic_handler which I took this code from and gives you checks for all the parameters.

which is in

bbpress 2.6.6\includes\topics\functions.php line 96 onwards

to see what checks bbpress does to the data before processing. This function is used by the new topic form.

the content is hooked to 4 functions, 3 of which are removed for capable uses on line 140 etc.

presuming that you are creating the content so will not be trying to break or do naugthy things, then you can probaby ignore these.

bbpress does one more it calls the function bbp_code_trick from the filter on line 173

which is this in bbpress 2.6.6\includes\common\formatting.php

function bbp_code_trick( $content = '' ) {
	$content = str_replace( array( "\r\n", "\r" ), "\n", $content );
	$content = preg_replace_callback( "|(<code>)(.*?)</code>|",      'bbp_encode_callback', $content );
	$content = preg_replace_callback( "!(^|\n)<code>(.*?)</code>!s", 'bbp_encode_callback', $content );

	return $content;
}

If you’re trying things, then I’d suggest you create some draft items in bbpress and then see what content is in the database to see what you would need to save there.

Thanks much @robin-w for updating this plugin. Installed it today at my website https://strokesupport.in and activating it leads to a fatal error on my website as under :

Newly created user accounts are automatically showing as logged in – the person used to need to actually log in before earning this “session” accreditation. Now, as soon as a script-bot has created the account, is allows you to log it off (this was a change from earlier behaviour)

Hello,

I use bbPress with LearnDash.
For LearnDash I have so called “Group Leaders” which lead their own forum as moderators.

I noticed that you can add a moderator to a specific forum on the right side within a forum. I did that by adding the username. But what is the effect of this exactly?
Somehow this user als sees Topics in the backend from all other forums. The moderator should only see topics from his forums, no?
Could you give me a hint on how to configure or implement this?

Thank you very much.

[Robin W]

what wordpress and bbpress levels does a sample user who can do this have?

[kevinbkt10]

I noticed that in my BBPress users are able to edit each other’s profile. Only when we are logged out that the edit option does not appear or work. I’ve tried to disable caching, move plugins, but I don’t think that’s the problem.

Obs, use Generatepre theme

[angeljs]

I have BuddyPress installed along with bbPress. However, when I click anything in the bbPress profile, such as topics started, replies created etc., I’m just taken either to the BuddyPress member list, or my own BuddyPress profile. Is it possible to to be able to access both profile pages, i.e. BuddyPress as well as bbPress?

[Robin W]

ok, let us try and get to what you want.

so if the content of a reply was ‘hello how are you ?’

then at the moment bbpress would show

<div class="bbp-reply-content">
hello how are you ?
</div>

what would you like it to show?

[Robin W]

that seems to be an error in your buddyboss theme which has amended the loop-single-reply template

loop-single-reply.php in bbpress only has 55 lines.

I would suggest you post this in the buddyboss support forums

[Robin W]

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

Thank you very much
