hmm..not come across this part – not to say it didn’t exist in bbpress, I’m just a user !

It could be a part of buddypress, or maybe another plugin?

[randrcomputers]

I am seeing it from appearance/menu “bbpress specific” links seem show new and old fav & sub topics since bbpress upgrade but appearance/menu “bbpress topic views” dont seem to show newer subs or favs since update just old ones before upgrade if that makes any since at all

One or two subscribers are not receiving email notifications despite having subscribed to the Forum. I’ve checked on the Forum and you can see that they have subscribed but looking at the mail logs, their email addresses aren’t on it. Has this happened to anyone else? Would be really grateful for your help. Latest WordPress & BBpress being used. Does it take some time for notifications to be sent after a member has registered? I’ve sent a test email through BB Style and they’ve received it but nothing is coming through from the Forum. Many thanks.

[Robin W]

Private forums should provide what you want.

If items are going into moderation :
1. what other bbpress related plugins are you running?
2. are you putting links into threads – this is allowed, but try one with just text.

on profiles add

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Profile

Hi all,

I tried to create a small community forum on our webpage, however I am facing some issues.

I am running WordPress 5.4 and installed the most current version of bbpress through the plugins section, activated it network wide, created a forum, creted a post, all working well.

Then I thought I need a way for the users to register and after some googling, I found out that I have to create a page that contains the [bbp-register], which I did. When I visit that page it shows the registration form. I enter a username and Email and when I submit, the site refreshes to wp-signup.php which shows another registration form asking for the same information. When I enter the data there again, registration is working, but that is not how it is supposed to be, right?

Kind regards,
Thomas

Hello!

I have a bbPress forum on my website. http://www.fullspectrumasd.org. I tested the registration system and was able to create a test user, but others who are trying to register are not receiving the automated registration email from WordPress. I have people waiting to use the forum who are not able to create a password. How can I get them registered?

Thanks,
Katie

some themes will have a bbpress FOLDER, which is where you would put amended bbpress template files.

filters generally go in the child theme functions file

[Scordisian]

Yea I am working with a child theme right now. I am just asking because I see some other child themes with the file bbpress.php in there. I am still reading up, but just wondered if there is a separate file beside the child theme functions file that can be used. I am creating a Bootstrap forum theme, hence the questions.

[Scordisian]

Thnx for the quick reply. Just to make sure, you mean the bbpress-functions.php file right?

Also, I noticed some other pieces of code that are not directly found in the template files like these. So a seperate bbpress file might be very handy.

[Robin W]

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

Code Snippets

and change “bbp-topic-tags” to whatever you want

add_filter ('bbp_before_get_topic_tag_list_parse_args' , 'rew_change_class' ) ;

function rew_change_class ($args) {
	$args['before'] = '<div class="bbp-topic-tags"><p>' . esc_html__( 'Tagged:', 'bbpress' ) . '&nbsp;' ;
return $args ;
}

[adamgby]

Hey. The shortcut [bbp-single-forum id = $ forum_id] has stopped working on my web page. When a parent forum should be displayed with sub-forums, nothing is displayed. When I upload ids of sub-forums, the topics embedded in them are visible.
For exemple: parent id=1, sub id=2:
[bbp-single-forum id = 1] – nothing displays, no sub-forums visible
[bbp-single-forum id = 2] – topics are displayed

After entering [bbp-forum-index], nothing is displayed either.
What’s going on?

Info: bbPress 2.6.4, Jannah Theme
Plugins with bbPress: bbp profile information, bbp style pack, bbP topic count, GD bbPress Attachments, GD bbPress Tools, rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress.

[Mike Witt]

I guess this is a long shot, but I wonder if anyone here is familiar with the WP QuickLaTeX plug-in. I have latex support turned on “sitewide” and it works everywhere except in forum posts. Any ideas?

[Robin W]

bbpress uses

edit_topics and edit_replies so doesn’t use the capabilities above

but suspect your code needs an if statement, so I’d do

// check frontend user privileges
if ( is_user_logged_in() && ( (current_user_can('edit_posts') || current_user_can('edit_pages') ) ) $canEdit = true ;

[Robin W]

but if you really want this box gone then,

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php

transfer this to your pc and edit to remove

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

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

							<?php if ( bbp_is_topic_edit() && ( bbp_get_topic_author_id() !== bbp_get_current_user_id() ) ) : ?>

								<label for="bbp_topic_subscription"><?php esc_html_e( 'Notify the author of follow-up replies via email', 'bbpress' ); ?></label>

							<?php else : ?>

								<label for="bbp_topic_subscription"><?php esc_html_e( 'Notify me of follow-up replies via email', 'bbpress' ); ?></label>

							<?php endif; ?>
						</p>

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

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/form-topic.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

then repeat for form-reply.php removing

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

						<p>

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

							<?php if ( bbp_is_reply_edit() && ( bbp_get_reply_author_id() !== bbp_get_current_user_id() ) ) : ?>

								<label for="bbp_topic_subscription"><?php esc_html_e( 'Notify the author of follow-up replies via email', 'bbpress' ); ?></label>

							<?php else : ?>

								<label for="bbp_topic_subscription"><?php esc_html_e( 'Notify me of follow-up replies via email', 'bbpress' ); ?></label>

							<?php endif; ?>

						</p>

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

Hi Robin,

Thank you very much for your fast reply.

I mean I don’t anyone to receive any email from the forum: every user that posts a question in the forum, as well as the admin notices.

I don’t have any other plugins that integrates with bbPress (except Akismet).

These are my current settings: https://i.imgur.com/dywXsPl.png

Under these settings, the users can still see the checkbox for receiving emails when there is a comment. I don’t want this checkbox checked, I don’t want it at all.

Thanks again 🙂

[Robin W]

'_bbp_user_slug' => 'users', // User profile slug

is definately the slug

so is the context right – maybe ‘polylang’ which seesm to be the default?

and possibly change it’s hook to ‘plugins_loaded’ to make sure bbpress and polylang have both loaded before firing

but i’m guessing 🙂

[Robin W]

depends on why you are getting them at the moment.

You can turn off all subscriptions for the whole site in

dashboard>settings>forums>Allow users to subscribe to forums and topics

If you just mean for you as a user or admin, then just unsubscribe from forums and topics in your profile

additionally you may have other bbpress plugins that are sending you emails.

[Kenny Lajara]

Hi, I have WP WordPress 5.4 with bbPress 2.8.3.1 and Polylang Pro 2.7 installed.

All the forums, topics, replies, everything are correctly translated, except the user profile.

I even attempted to manually register the slug but didn’t work.

The code I used to try to register the slug was:

/* Translate Users profile slug with Polylang */
add_action( 'after_setup_theme','bbp_polylang_integration' );
function bbp_polylang_integration() {
	if ( function_exists( 'pll_register_string' ) ) {
		pll_register_string( 'slug_users', '_bbp_user_slug', 'URL slugs' );
	}
}

I tried with _bbp_user_slug and with users as well.

How can I add topic excerpt content to the bbpress topic list

I only saw the topic title
Author name
And date but I couldn’t figure out how to add the topic excerpt into the topic widget please help

[Robin W]

you can only merge topics in bbpress, so yes merge two topics

[Robin W]

found and fixed.

I’ve put the fix in my style pack plugin version 4.5.0

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes

or put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

i try to post my video on bbpress forum but admin panel show video but after posting on forum post video not showing , show like this
[video width="1920" height="1080" mp4="https://forum.eroticalife69.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/aliz-nbp_aleska-d-nbp_v_bg_01_trailer01_hdv.mp4"][/video]

what i need to do

[neon67]

Halo!
I’m looking for a way to show the 10 most viewed topics in the last month. I have 20 sub-forums and about 50 responses per day. Important – do not load the server too much.
Ideally, if the list should be formed once a day, but not for each visitor.

I did not find among standard methods. Maybe there is a plugin (widget)?

“BbPress Popular Topics” for over 3 years. Seems no longer working.

[ticsandthoughts]

Thank you for the tip Robin. I believe I have done this correctly, in my menus I removed the custom link and inserted the actual forums page, and from what I can see it still has the title Archive: Forums along with the description of bbPress Forums below that… any other tips I can try?

Thanks again for all of your help
