Hello,
Our association is using a bbpress forum to debate. Some responses are very long making it hard to have a general vue one a small screen. Do you know a plugin that could add a “read more” button after x characters, like an “excerpt” on a WP post ?
Thanks for your help or suggestions 🙂

[Robin W]

your theme/elementor is doing this, not bbpress

suggest you look in your theme colors to see if you can change

background-color:#020413;

[kikismedia]

I saw a code on stackoverflow for bbpress annyomous (@robin-w it’s actually a good idea o but hard to code

[Robin W]

has been asked before an JJJ who wrote most of bbpress says it would be really hard to code.

[Robin W]

These are all issues with your theme, not bbpress.

However in the spirit of helpfulness, I’ll do this last one, but after that you need to refer to your theme’s support channels.

So the best I can do without spending considerable time is :

@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author img.avatar {
	position: relative !important ;
}

#bbpress-forums .bbp-body div.bbp-reply-author {
	padding-left: 0px !important;
}

Which puts it on then left, but is not perfect

Hello, I want to know is there any settings in bbpress where a user could be a moderator automatically? I have faced such an issue. I want to deactivate that settings. This is urgent, please help.

[smith512]

I am worried about that “GD Power Search for bbPress” is not verified my wordpress version.
Do you intend to update this?

[Robin W]

yes this seems to be a bug.

in

\bbpress\includes\forums\functions.php

line 197 has

// No forum parent was passed (should never happen)
	if ( empty( $forum_parent_id ) ) {
		bbp_add_error( 'bbp_new_forum_missing_parent', __( '<strong>ERROR</strong>: Your forum must have a parent.', 'bbpress' ) );

but a top level forum will have zero so empty !

(I’m not a bbpress author, I just help moderate here, so not under my direct powers to change)

To correct this for another user, I did the following :

created a hidden forum – then noted the ID (in this case 4537)

then in

\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\form-forum.php

changed line 138 etc. from

<p>
						<label for="bbp_forum_parent_id"><?php esc_html_e( 'Parent Forum:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />

						<?php
							bbp_dropdown( array(
								'select_id' => 'bbp_forum_parent_id',
								'show_none' => esc_html__( '&mdash; No parent &mdash;', 'bbpress' ),
								'selected'  => bbp_get_form_forum_parent(),
								'exclude'   => bbp_get_forum_id()
							) );
						?>
					</p>

to

<?php
					//the code in incudes/forums/functions won't let post parent be blank.
					//to get this to work, we have created a hidden forum in the site.  This forums ID is 4537
					//if the hidden forum exists, then use this forums id 
					//otherwise show the post parent section
					$forum_parent_id = bbp_get_forum_id( 4537 );
					if (!empty( $forum_parent_id )) { ?>
					 <input type="hidden" id="bbp_forum_parent_id" name="bbp_forum_parent_id" value="4537">
					 <?php
					}
					else {
					?>
					<p>
						<label for="bbp_forum_parent_id"><?php esc_html_e( 'Parent Forum:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />

						<?php
							bbp_dropdown( array(
								'select_id' => 'bbp_forum_parent_id',
								'show_none' => esc_html__( '&mdash; No parent &mdash;', 'bbpress' ),
								'selected'  => bbp_get_form_forum_parent(),
								'exclude'   => bbp_get_forum_id()
							) );
						?>
					</p>
					<?php } ?>

This template then gets saved to your child themes directory as

wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-forum.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Finally, add an action to re-write the parent forum from 4537 to zero post forum creation

add_action( 'bbp_new_forum_post_extras', 'ltc_limit_forum', 10 ,1  );

function ltc_limit_forum ($forum_id) {
	//this function is fired when a forum is created
	//set post parent to zero
	wp_update_post(
		array(
			'ID' => $forum_id, 
			'post_parent' => 0
			)
	);
}

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

You could amend that function to have an if statement so if forum parent is 4537 then create forum parent as 0, but in this case there were no times when a sub forum was being created, so it was not needed.

I know this is quite convoluted, but it worked !!

There is a trac ticket for this issue somewhere, so the authors are aware

[deandimarzo]

I’m using the [bbp-forum-form] shortcode to allow forum moderators to add subforums on our site (is there a better way to do this?) and when submitting the form I get the error “ERROR: Your forum must have a parent.”

I’ve dug through the source code thoroughly to figure out what would be causing this and I just can’t track it down. Any ideas?

[Milan Petrovic]

Your code doesn’t look complete. You posted ‘my_bbp_filter_search_results’, but there is no filter it is tied into. Which filter did you use to hook this function too?

I can recommend you trying my advanced search plugin: GD Power Search for bbPress – https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-power-search-for-bbpress/ it allows you to select forums to search through and other things.

[smith512]

After user searched key wards in one of the parent forums, I want to suggest topics that are a member of the parent forum.
For example,
Forum Top |- Forum B |-topic A
| |-topic F
|
|- Forum C |-topic A
|-topic Z

If an user now in Forum B searches topic A, only show topic A in Forum B, not Forum C’s topic A.

What I tried
First, I add this cord to my child theme’s function.php.
`function my_bbp_search_form(){
?>
<div class=”bbp-search-form”>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘form’, ‘search’ ); ?>

</div>
<?php
}
add_action( ‘bbp_template_before_single_forum’, ‘my_bbp_search_form’ );`

Next, Add a field to the search form. I override form-search.php in my child theme’s /bbpress directory.

if ( bbp_allow_search() ) : ?>
<?php $forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id(); ?>
<div class="bbp-search-form">
	<form role="search" id="bbp-search-form" method="get" action="">
		<input type="text" value="" placeholder="Search <?php the_title(); ?> Topics"  name="s"/>
		<input type="hidden" name="forum_id" value="<?php echo $forum_id; ?>"/>
		<input type="submit"/>
	</form>
</div>

Finally, I filter the search query to only search a specific forum. I add this code to my functions.php.

<?php 
function my_bbp_filter_search_results( $r ){
	$s=htmlspecialchars($_GET['s'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
	$forum_id = htmlspecialchars($_GET['forum_id'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
if(isset($s)){
	$args=array(
	's'->$s,
	'post_parent'->$forum_id,
	);
        }
        return $r;
}
?>

However, it didn’t work so I want to know how to achieve this.

In addition, I challenged another way like this.

if(bbp_has_topics(array('s'->$s, 'post_parent'->$forum_id)))
        bbp_get_template_part('bbpress/loop', 'topics');

This code is that I edited above last additional functon “my_bbp_filter_search_results()” in function.php.
However, I can’t get search’s value(name=’s’) in the first place. I tried to use “echo $s;”, $s didn’t output the value. Where is the search results file of bbpress?

Please advise me. Thanks for reading.

[Robin W]

ok, bbpress does not create it’s own tables.

anyway glad you are sorted

https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/ and see item 8

[ricks03]

I have bbPress installed and configured.

If I create a page, with the shortlink: [bbp-forum-index]
then I can go to the page attributes, and change the Template from the Default Template to “Full Width Page (no sidebar)”, which is a template available from my Theme (Responsive by Cyberchimps), and it looks great.

When I attempt to browse any of my forums from there I, of course, leave that Page, and enter the normal forum pages, which use the Default Template again. What I’d like to do is change what theme Template is used for all of bbPress. Possible?

I don’t have any need to edit the template itself, I just want to change which template the bbPress pages use.

Thanks!

Rick

Hi

I have three issues when it comes to replies to a topic.

As one can see there is a blue square around the avatar. How comes and how can I remove it?

Furthermore the size of the fonts is suddenly too big. The username beneath the avatar as well as the links in the signature.

Can you please help to fix these issues.

Thanks a lot in advance.

If it is a direct copy, then I am not surprised it was rejected – thank you for spending your time with this challenge, but unless the code / design is unique, bbpress will keep rejecting.

FYI – I have got around the problem by using a widget that works and created a short code from that and placed that shortcode in the top menu on my page, a bit of a fudge but it will do for now.

Thanks for trying 😉

[hellojesse]

My plugin is rejeceted, here is their reply:
Your plugin has been rejected because it is a duplicate of another plugin, already hosted on WordPress.org

My answer was this:
The reason why I did it is because, I do have client and he checked your plugin and he said that "This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress." So he feels insecure. I have tested with WordPress and bbPress and it works fine.

first – dashboard>tools>forums>reset forums
then dashboard>plugins>bbpress>decativate and delete

bboress notifications are sent from and to the same address, with the actual recipients being BCC’d on the email.

This is a popular way that many people send a single email without letting the recipients see each other.

You probably receive emails this way from some companies.

If you don’t want this, then use

AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions

but some hosters may limit the number of emails sent at one time – again seeing these as spam.

There is no right answer – just choose the solution that suits you.

[2cats]

I’m running bbPress 2.6.5 with WordPress 5.4.2, and using SendGrid to process notifications. When I check the SendGrid activity log, I see that the forum notifications, which are being sent from a “noreply@domainname” email address, are also being delivered TO that same “noreply” email address. I have searched every setting and can’t find any reason why emails would be sent to that address. Does anyone know how this could happen? My hosting company tells me this could be seen as spam, which could affect delivery. The forums are members-only so I can’t post a link. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[ChristineZ]

You have no idea how dumb I feel, and that is to put it lightly.

I have worked with bbPress and you do have a great plugin.

Thanks Robin, I hope you are well and staying healthy. Have a great week,
Christine

[martinrtr]

Nice – thanks Robin – I’m just getting my mind round BBPress for the first time. In the intro blurb there was a statement along the lines of ‘BBPress is develkped by wordpress and, as such uses wordpress core for its functionality’. I read this but clearly didn’t register it!
Thank you for you help
Martin

[Robin W]

bbpress simply uses WordPress registration and login, so any plugin that does wordpress registration will work for bbpress.

Therefore rather than trying to amend the bbpress registration, I’d probably just use a wordpress registration plugin, there are lots – just google ‘worpdress registration plugin’
