[Chuckie]

According to the trac it states:

Add bbp-has-subforums if forum has subforums

Why am I not seeing this class present in the latest version of bbPress 2.6.4?

[Chuckie]

I saw this discussion:

a way to check for subforums

It implied it was fixed in bbpress 2.1:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1803

But I don’t get it.

This is a sub forum with child forums:

<a class="bbp-forum-title" href="https://www.publictalksoftware.co.uk/support-forums/forum/meeting-schedule-assistant/midweek-editor/">Midweek Editor</a>

This is a forum with no child forums:

<a class="bbp-forum-title" href="https://www.publictalksoftware.co.uk/support-forums/forum/meeting-schedule-assistant/assignments-editor/">Assignments Editor</a>

As you can see, the code is exactly the same. I understood from the associated discussion that the forum with child forums would have a additional class specified so that we could use pseudo before / after to add a symbol to indicate it is a forum with sub forums.

Or do I have to go about this differently?

I am using bbp style pack.

Thanks for shedding any light on this.

I have the same problem (variable mismatch message when trying to merge forum topics) and would appreciate resolution advice. Thanks.

This problem is relatively new for me, as the function had worked fine for several years until the last few months.

WP 5.3.2
PHP 7.3.14
bbPress 2.6.4

[Oxibug]

Hey Guys,
Since bbPress v2.6.4 undefined variable message appears in both admin and frontend pages

Notice: Undefined variable: topic_id in [PATH]\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\replies\template.php on line 456

Notice: Undefined variable: topic_id in [PATH]\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\replies\template.php on line 461

Notice: Undefined variable: topic_id in [PATH]\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\replies\template.php on line 467

I found variable [topic_id] inside two if statements in function [bbp_get_reply_url] so I think that you should move the variable definition in the function scope not inside the if.

If you google that [undefined variable: topic_id replies\template.php] you will find that a lot of online forums using bbPress generate that error in the front-end pages.

P.S. some people taking about BuddyPress but I think it should be fixed in the bbPress functions.

Thanks

The best I can suggest is

GD bbPress Attachments

If you want better than this, then contact the developer https://www.dev4press.com/ Milan does bespoke development as well

@robin-w, @hydrogriff:
Hi, for me, the CSS styling issue is definitely a theme problem. In my styles.css file I have additional CSS for the styling of BBpress forum.
#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {font-size: 11px;}
I simply removed this line (font-size) from my style sheet and the standard BBPress kicked in.

[Robin W]

@hydrogriff – ok, not sure that I ma goung to be able to help much further.
I can only suggest it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, 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.

Then come back

Regarding the first code, you are right. This dequeues bbPress related style-sheets for most of the users who don’t visit forum page.

The second code highlights the lead topic, like it does on this forum. I used the code from the codex.

[Robin W]

unless I am not understanding you, every other forum I have seen does what bbpress does

[chickencurry]

Dear Robin,

thanks for coming up with a solution but this is not working for me. Because of two reasons, if I create a page for every forum (and subforum I am using), I don’t have real forum overview anymore.

The second reason is, I am using BuddyPress, where people can create facebook like groups. Those groups will get there own forum, which won’t appear on the site if I do it this way.

So it looks like I have to do some tweaks to the code that adds topic title to the output. Honestly it’s really weird that bbPress is behaving like this. I’ve never seen a forum that doesn’t show a titles on the front page.

[Robin W]

ok it is showing what I would expect.

topics are shown only when you go into each forum which is standard bbpress behavior.

If you would like all the forums listed with titles, then create a WordPress page for your firums and put a list of forums in it as shortcode

[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] – Display a single forums topics. eg. [bbp-single-forum id=32]

so for instance out this on a page

[bbp-single-forum id=32]
[bbp-single-forum id=33]
[bbp-single-forum id=34]

.

[Robin W]

this is theme specific issue, so could be many things.

you could try

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

item 3 method 2, that might force your theme to use a page name

[domi80]

Hi

In the past, I had the same question, but I didn’t try to find a solution yet.
I’ll try to continue this thread.

It’s about the page title for the opening page or index page of the forum, shown in the browser’s title bar. For the topic starter, that title starts with:
Archiwum Fora
It’s Polish for “archive forums”.

For my site, it’s in Dutch:
Archief forums
It’s Dutch for “archive forums”.

It’s the title of the index page of the forum shown by the browser.
For forums themselves, the browser shows the title of the forum as text in the browser’s title bar. So that’s going well.

As the forum opening page or index page is live and active, it’s expected to not to see “archive” as title in the browser.

On my setup, I tried the suggestion of mclegend.
Administration -> You mean the WordPress Back-End with all the configuration settings?
For ‘Configuration’, I don’t see ‘Server Settings’, only ‘Settings’ and indeed ‘General’, which points to basic WordPress options / item “Forum Title” is not there.
There is however a ‘Settings’ with ‘Forums’, and I see forum-related options. eg. Forum root and below the title ‘Single Forum Slugs’, there is ‘forum’, which could be a title, but not labeled that way.
The setting or word ‘archive’ or Dutch translated variant is on those pages not mentioned.
I suppose the Dutch (or for topic starter, Polish version) is by using translation file(s) and localized version of the WordPress.
But it’s not about the translation, it’s about the original ‘archive’ in the title.

So, question remains:
How to get rid of the word ‘archive’ in the browser’s title bar for the opening page or index page of the forum, and/or where can we set a title manually?

Current setup: PHP 7.3.12 / WordPress 5.3.2 / bbPress 2.5.14 and seen on earlier versions of 2.5.x and on the later 2.6.x versions while testing.

[Robin W]

and this one tends to suggest that your theme or anther plugin is doing stuff with the replies side of bbpress

//Lead Topic Enable
function custom_bbp_show_lead_topic( $show_lead ) {
  $show_lead[] = 'true';
  return $show_lead;
} 
add_filter('bbp_show_lead_topic', 'custom_bbp_show_lead_topic' );

[Robin W]

looked in pastebin.

I’m not sure what this function is there for, except possibly to speed up site display if they have not accessed the forum part ?

function dequeue_bbpress_style() {
    if ( class_exists('bbPress') ) {
      if ( ! is_bbpress() ) {
        wp_dequeue_style('bbp-default');
        wp_dequeue_style( 'bbp_private_replies_style');
        wp_dequeue_script('bbpress-editor');
      }
    }
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dequeue_bbpress_style', 99 );

it does tend to suggest that you have bbp_private_replies enabled ???

[Robin W]

The best solution is to clone this widget and then amend.

so put this in your functions.php

It creates a duplicate login widget, but you’ll find it in dashboard>appearance>widgets called
(mat) login Widget. You can then add your code to this version

function register_mat_login_widget() {
    register_widget("MAT_Login_Widget");

}

add_action('widgets_init', 'register_mat_login_widget');

class MAT_Login_Widget extends WP_Widget {

	/**
	 * MAT Login Widget amended
	 *
	 */
	public function __construct() {
		$widget_ops = apply_filters( 'mat_login_widget_options', array(
			'classname'                   => 'mat_widget_login',
			'description'                 => esc_html__( 'A simple login form with optional links to sign-up and lost password pages.', 'bbpress' ),
			'customize_selective_refresh' => true
		) );

		parent::__construct( false, esc_html__( '(mat) Login Widget', 'bbpress' ), $widget_ops );
	}

	/**
	 * Register the widget
	 *
	 *
	 */
	public static function register_widget() {
		register_widget( 'MAT_Login_Widget' );

If my post cannot be found, here are the custom functions I use – https://pastebin.com/n27s5S9s.
The only plugin related to bbPress I use is – bbPress Do Shortcode and WP-Avatar.

Hope this helps.

How are you doing …
How to get bbPress 2.7 Alpha
The download link is not working ..

[Matthias]

Hi Robin,
this code works fine, thanks. I put it in functions.php

After this I changed some code in bbpress/includes/common/widgets.php
The changes work fine, but it only works when I change the core file.

When I copy widgets.php into child theme it does not work.
Is there now way to put core code to child theme?

Thanks
Matthias

<?php bbp_user_profile_link( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>

How can I change the code above, to show only the name, without the link to bbpress profile?

Thanks
