The recommendation is that the file goes in a directory called ‘bbpress’ in the root of your child theme.

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

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

child theme root works as well, but in ‘bbpress’ just makes it more obvious which plugin’s template you have amended

Perfect dear Robin

btw : did i process in the good way to modify my bbpress template ?

Hi guys,

I’ve just done a new WP install & also a new bbPress install. No other plugins installed.

I then added a Forum you can see on this page.

Test55

The problem I have is:
This login form seems to prevent me from adding a topic.
The login on this form fails when I use my admin login.

How can I remove the login form from appearing & allow a topic to be created?

thanks,
Riggie

Hello, I am creating a specialized forum combining wordpress(5.4.1), bbpress(2.6.4) and buddypress(5.2.0). The website is exptoge.com. I have already created child thyme in the wp-content/themes/mytheme folder and used functions.php and style.css to make some customization. Now I need some help to personalize the forum new topic area and new reply area.

1) New topic area, as shown in Fig 1,
(please go to here to check all the figures ).
For every new topic in this forum, I wish the following text appear in the “Topic content edit area” by default: “please clearly describe the place and time duration”. Once the user click in this area to input something, those text will disappear automatically.
The google search box seems exactly demonstrate this effect as shown in Fig.2. Source of Fig 2, captured at chrome://newtab.

2) New reply area, as show in Fig.3.

For every new topic in this forum, I wish some text (e.g. “please select or input your selection” ) appear in the “Reply content edit area” and followed by a drop down selection list (similar to Fig. 4 or Fig.1 below part) by default.

The selection list is composed of two parts. The first is designed to choose a color, red, blue or others. The second is designed to choose a shape, triangle, circle or others.
If the users choose others, a new input box will appear so that they can input their other choice. Text “please input your choice” will appear in the input box with function similar to Fig. 2 (requirements of new topic area above).

After the users make a choice or enter their choice, the choice result will exactly be the reply content. But, the above “please select or input your selection” text will be updated to be “I prefer” texts.

I am not sure whether it is possible to achieve above functions through making modifications in my themes. Anyway, thanks a lot for your time and efforts. You can log in with username “Daniel” and password as “Daniel8” to test “new topic” and “new reply ” function in this website.

We have bbPress used on a website that has different groups. We need instructors to be able to post the same message in more than one forum, for each group. Right now, they’re prevented from doing that. Is there any way we can reduce the restrictions on duplicate content? This is all on a password protected site, so we don’t worry about spam.

How can I fix the dubbing of responses and topics in the activity filter in some templates in bbpress 2.6.4?

                <select id="activity-filter-by">
                    <option value="-1">— Everything —</option>

                    <option value="new_member">New Members</option>
<option value="updated_profile">Profile Updates</option>
<option value="activity_update">Updates</option>
<option value="bbp_topic_create">Topics</option>
<option value="bbp_reply_create">Replies</option>

        <option value="bbp_topic_create">Topics</option>
        <option value="bbp_reply_create">Replies</option>

                </select>

I am using the bbPress forum on my Android Blog (Droidfeats forum) but unable to get the breadcrumbs as I don’t use the Yoast Breadcrumbs feature.

I tried to search in this forum several times but unable to get any custom breadcrumbs plugin specific to bbPress forum pages.

Why I don’t use Yoast breadcrumbs is because it’s for the entire site. I don’t want breadcrumbs over the whole site’s post because it destroys my site layout and ad positioning. But I only want them on my forum pages and topics.

Is there any way to get it? Or any code to implement on Snippets?

[Chuckie]

If you look here:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-bbpress-topics-with-multiple-pages/#post-12772840

It was detected that the URLs in my case were failing bbpnsn plugin. They fixed it.

But it appears that these links are out of my hands.

Hello everyone,,
I admit I am a “newbie” and am having a bundle of problems. I am in the process of building a website which is still offline, and am very stuck. I am using ocean wp and I don’t know how to find out the version, but everything is new in the last 2 weeks.. sorry I really am a newbie…
I am making “TheAmericanQuarterHorse.com” and wanted to make a small forum page alongside of information pages, I had to do a whole pile of deleting and rebuilding on the forum site, but now I have the basic structure!! So that is a plus, but am stuck on the login–register-lost password widget. The first time I made it, it put the menu all over the place and the login was on every page. Iwas using bbpress tweaks, so uninstalled the bbpress tweaks, and ended up re-installing. I watched a whole pile of youtube on how to do it, and went back at it. I did all the “making the page” and putting the permalinks in the widget slot in the bbpress side bar. This time I had logins on every page BUT THE FORUM PAGE!!! This is the 3rd time I have deleted everything and started over.. I am about to forget the whole thing or use a different forum widget. I am STUCK. Any ideas??
The other thing is the text is sooo thin and tiny on the forum page it is hard to see. I have heard something about css, but have no clue about what that is or how to use it..
Would really appreciate any ideas..
thanks

[Chuckie]

I was told that :

https%3A%2F%2Fwww.publictalksoftware.co.uk%2Fxxx%2F%3Ftopic%3Dthis-is-a-test%26paged%3D3%23post-5572

is not a very “pretty” link. I don’t rightly know. But how is this url created? Does bbPress format it like this?

I tried deactivating everything except bbpress and the links were still like that.

In short, is this by design?

[robertherold]

Hello guys

Thank you so much for this great plugin.
I haven’t used forums much before, so something came up when using bbPress:
I have a forum called “Teszt Fórum 1” and it shows that the last post was made 3 days and 19 hours ago by “nafems”.

When I enter this forum, it shows for the two topics that the last posts are by “drohle” and “robertherold”.

So the forum is not showing the last post, but the last topic.
Should this be the case?

[Robin W]

probably this

GD bbPress Attachments

Hi Robin. Thanks very much for your reply. That did the trick. I had actually tried setting the Forums page (index page with all forums) “private” but had the situation that nobody could see anything..(got an Error 404) so somehow thought that it wouldn’t work in the indiv. BBPress Forums. Anyway, I have now set the individual forums to “private” and the forums page to “public” and now the list doesn’t appear when you put in the URL…You just get the page title (which I can live with).

Import BB data from CSV file to bbPress forum

i follow this page bro

[Robin W]

no I can’t – you would need code to create the ability to upload a csv file into bbpress – and that is beyond free help

[007elt]

Hello,
I am using BBPress with the la in conjunction with Ultimate Member (everything is latest version). Our forums are supposed be completely private for non logged in users. This works for the individual forums and topics.
Unfortunately, we discovered that if you put in “Forums” after the website URL an index of all forums with topics shows up. You are not able to access them, but it is really not good for us to have this information show up at all.
How can I prevent the Forums index from appearing by typing the URL. Can this be done? I would really be grateful for some help here. Thank you.

Dear bbPress team member,

I’ve got a question about a difference that I encounter between the replies to a topic in a “normal” forum page versus the replies to the same topic “embedded” in another page.

I’ve recreated the problem in a new website:
https://cursus.fotograferenindenatuur.nl/
WP version 5.4.1
bbPress version 2.6.4
No other plugins are activated
Theme: Twenty twenty
Username and password: on request
To reach the “normal” page: main menu > community > click “Test forum” > click “Test topic”
To reach the “embedded” topic: main menu > Page for embedded topic

When someone replies to one of the messages in this topic (except for the first one) the replies should be nested under that message. In the “normal” forum page this works fine (for a logged in user). But when I “embed” this topic in another page, all replies are posted at the bottom of the list. And they are all posted as new replies to the topic, and not as nested replies.

Do you know how I can get nested replies in the embedded topic?

Best wishes,

Toine

[wafadul]

I’m still encountering this issue. Has this been resolved or not yet?

[Robin W]

I did some thinking around this last night.

Basically bbpress looks for an author ID in the posts table.

Now there’s a hook in the topic/reply handlers (topic for topics, reply for replies, so they mirror) after a topic/reply is created.

do_action( ‘bbp_new_reply_post_extras’, $reply_id );

so if each of your characters has a WordPress user ID, then you could just hook to this, and change the post author to the worpress user ID.

so say

add_action ('bbp_new_reply_post_extras' , 'your function') ;

function your_function ($reply_id) {
$id = [either use the $_POST if still available and maybe have the value as the WordPress user ID , or get_post_meta for d20_character in the reply_id and do a look up to translate value to WordPress user ID]
$my_post = array(
      'ID'           =>$reply_id,
      'post_author'   => $id,
      );
 
// Update the post into the database
  wp_update_post( $my_post );

}

that way each topic/reply has a real author that happens to be your character chosen in the topic/reply form.
that would save a ton of coding in the output, and risk of missing one and exposing the real user.

[randrcomputers]

maybe part of GD bbPress Toolbox?

[Robin W]

it may be that your mail client is chopping emails with multiple recipients

try this

AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions

[Robin W]

you would start by looking at the topic and reply forms in the templates

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

which you can amend and copy to your child theme putting them in a bbpress folder

these link to the new topic or reply handlers in

\bbpress\includes\topics\functions.php line 96
and an equivalent in

\bbpress\includes\replies\functions.php

these are called by filters eg

add_action( ‘bbp_post_request’, ‘bbp_new_topic_handler’, 10 );

so you could rewrite the new topic handler and call it from a new version of the above action, this could catch the $_POST from your dropdown, and add say an extra meta field, and allocating all topics/replies to a single user_id to prevent needing individual users.

You can then amend the other templates or use filters to show the drop-down from the meta in the content field.

Hi all.

Sorry, if this is the wrong forum ..
We are a non-profit organisation, ARTSCENICO – http://www.artscenico.com, and we have recently updated our website, and installed a bbPress forum. After now something like 6 or 7 plugins installed, I get a bit lost in it all, and I would need help to technically manage the site, and do some adjustments now and then, maybe improve it by having one or 2 paid plugins who do it all, instead of so many where you loose the overview. So basically I look for someone to help us develop there forum, preferably someone from EU as we are a European federation, and yes we think of paying this person. But all this would then be a question of details to clear between us.

If you – on top of it – are very good in wordpress homepages / template adaptions etc. This would be a plus, as some help might be needed there now and then too.

If you are interested, please contact us with some information about you via our website. Thank you 🙂

Hello, this is my first time positing here, so please forgive me if this is in the wrong thread.

I’m wanting to build a play by post (PBP) website for a D&D / Pathfinder game I’m currently running on a different website.

I know the typical forum has someone post as a single user, but in a Dungeons and Dragons game, the DM/GM posts as tons of NPCs and other characters.

The current website we use makes this as simple as selecting a character from a drop menu and the post looks like it’s from them, with their avatar and name.

Does anything like this exist for bbpress?

If not, can anyone guide me to documentation for how I might accomplish this.

Yes, I’m aware of the Switch Users plug-in but that would be a huge pain for how often I would need to switch and I want to make this option for players who run multiple characters as well.

Thanks in advance
