ok, I would strongly suspect you membership wall, presumably a plugin – not a lot we can do if it is.

This generic help should let you define where the issue is

It could be a theme or plugin issue issue, so you’ll need to test to find out which

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

Deactivate all but 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

Hello – I’m unable to edit my forums as an administrator. Specifically I’m trying to add videos. I use bbPress, and my theme is Boss Child. I appreciate any guidance you can provide

Good evening guys, i have a problem viewing avatar in my bbpress forum.
In practice, I visualize the avatar twice but only for visitors/guests. Users logged in correctly view 1 avatar. How can I solve?

Thank you very much.

Thanks again, Robin!
I’ve successfully used the code above to modify the templates. Woo!

However, one question / comment:
The code you’ve provided for bbp_show_lead_topic doesn’t seem to do anything for me.
I’ve tried:

function custom_bbp_show_lead_topic( $show_lead ) {
  $show_lead[] = 'false'; // The code as shown on https://codex.bbpress.org/bbp_show_lead_topic/
  $show_lead[] = false; // No quotation marks around 'false'
  $show_lead = false;   // no array [] used on $show_lead, no quotation;
  $show_lead = 'false'  // no array, with quotation
  return $show_lead;
}

And none of these seemed to change how the lead topic was displayed.
But, I’ve figured out the templates and I’m getting the results I was hoping for.

Thanks again.

Im not sure when this started, but you get a notification of someone replying to your forum topic the title is blank!
I checked the database ID to make sure its 100% BBPress, and it is.
Example notification with no title.

The notifications page with all the blank titles for replys:

[Robin W]

the function that bbpress uses is in

includes/common/functions.php

line 1055 starts the function, and lines 1150 to 1153 are the offending ones which stop it being sent to the author

I’d suggest you unhook that function and then hook your own

so in your child theme functions file maybe have

remove_action( 'bbp_new_reply',    'bbp_notify_topic_subscribers',           11, 5 );
add_action ( 'bbp_new_reply' , 'rew_notify_topic_subscribers', 11,5 ) ;

and then copy the whole bbp_notify_topic_subscribers function to your functions file, rename it to ‘rew_notify_topic_subscribers’ and edit out the lines which stop it being sent to the author

do come back if anything isn’t clear, I’m assuming a level of knowledge you may not have, and quite happy to help further

Greetings.
For large forums to function efficiently requires a shift in our perspectives perhaps.
Please consider https://theoneandonlysolutiontoeverything.net/forum/forums-3/forum/first-forum/

I am discussing BBpress with the World Summit 2019 0n Facebook.
I am a BBpress fan, but also a newbie and not very competent.
I feel that the summit would provide a great showcase for great forum software.
Is BBpress the right software for massive complex group discussions?

I am seeking someone/people from the BBpress community to join the Summit BBpress discussion on facebook.
Anyone?

I tried plugins and themes, but i’m sure i can erase it from a file inside the bbpress folder. What file can it be?

it is not in nay file that I know, it looks like part of an error

you may be able to hide it with css, I can’t say without a live link

Hi ,

how to determine if its a member or an admin ( by admin , i mean the administrator and keymaster levels ) ?

if not , where can i find a good documentation about bbpress template tags like wordpress’ one ?

TFYT .

[Robin W]

in bbpress plugin in my site the moderator roles the forum is not showing in dashboard,

It could be a theme or plugin issue issue, so you’ll need to test to find out which

something is putting that code there, you will need to work out what

ok, sorry but you can only fault find by testing.

Only having a live site is not a good policy, suggest you invest time in creating a test site

Creating a Test Site

[Robin W]

the function (1) can sit in your plugin

the template (2) can also be in your plugin, but yes, you’ll need some code to do this

in my style pack plugin I have a directory and sub directory called

templates/templates1 and in this I have a bbpress templates I have amended eg

wp-content/plugins/bbp-style-pack/templates/template1/loop-forums.php

then in my plugin code I have (you’ll need to amend BSP_PLUGIN_DIR to a suitable name for your plugin

if(!defined('BSP_PLUGIN_DIR'))
	define('BSP_PLUGIN_DIR', dirname(__FILE__));

add_action( 'bbp_register_theme_packages', 'bsp_register_plugin_template1' );

function bsp_register_plugin_template1() {
	bbp_register_template_stack( 'bsp_get_template1_path', 12 );
}

function bsp_get_template1_path() {
	return BSP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/templates/templates1';
}

This loads all templates in that directory and registers them with bbpress

come back if that doesn’t work for you with your code

[jd-fb]

Thanks Robin. I previously played with bbp_show_lead_topic, and I couldn’t get it to work (which is why I posted my question above.) I guess I was missing step 2, which is the template.

Question: Do the steps you describe change if I’m developing a plugin, instead of a theme? If I’m correct, the following code should help me (correct?)

correct way to override bbpress templates

Hello, i have a problem, i see a text before the text editor in bbpress.

The text is: “CONTENT string (0)”

How can i remove it?

Wordpress: 4.9.8
BbPress: 2.5.14
Website: https://www.ahoraajedrez.com/foros/foro/ajedrez-de-elite/

[Robin W]

ok, try this – I think it works all fine, but let me know

what it does is check every 5 minutes that any topic posted over 1/2 hour is closed.

It will close all existing topics that meet this criteria.

A topic will therefore be closed 30-35 minutes after the original post date

BbPress close topic automatically 1/2 hour after topic is posted

Hi, in bbpress plugin in my site the moderator roles the forum is not showing in dashboard, help me how to do and also moderator only edit his own forum not others

[astraldeva]

Ok, I have looked everywhere for a solution to this, from digging through the support forum to plugins. I can’t seem to find it, so I’m going to see if anyone knows how to fix this issue for my particular needs.

I have bbpress installed, and we use it for an interactive fiction game. I have auto subscription set up for all users using I need for the forum/topic subscription emails that go out to users to include the author who wrote the topic/reply. As it is, if I write a reply, I don’t receive a copy of it in my email – even if I am subscribed to the forum. This is the same for all users. My users would like to receive a copy of their own reply to a topic or post in their email along with the other subscription emails.

I am fully capable of editing PHP, I just need to know where to look and what I’m looking for in the subscription email setup.

Thank you for any help.

[Ahmet Akdel]

i confirmed users but i can’t make it.

https://ibb.co/i6PF9U —> wp-admin account
https://ibb.co/hjmv9U —> visitor

also, if yo u enter wp-login.php i can’t open new open
there is this alert: “You cannot reply to this topic.”

my bbpress forum settings: https://ibb.co/dCEF9U

thank you for answer.

[Robin W]

ok, so concentrating on a topic and it’s reply list and ignoring forums, you are saying that you would like

from clicking a topic in the forum list (a list of topics in the forum) you are taken to a page which displays

• the topic name
• some content/info but styled and controlled by you
• the replies as per normal
• the reply form

If so I suspect you need to do two things

1. use this piece of code in your functions file

bbp_show_lead_topic

2. amend content-single-topic-lead.php in your child theme’s bbpress directory.

by

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

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-topic-lead.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-single-topic-lead.phpbbPress will now use this template instead of the original and you can amend this

I have no idea how technical you are and whether that gives you enough to go ahead and fix, or if you need further help – let me know

[Ahmet Akdel]

Robin How can i fix?

[elawrenc01]

I’m new to BBPress and I was looking at a few different sites for ideas. I run a PHPBB forum right now but I want to switch to BBPress (already have, it’s just not live yet)
I was curious how I can achieve this look? I’m guessing this isn’t CSS but some coding snippet, I want to be able to create a category and have the sub forums listed like this picture. If someone can point me in the right direction I can probably take it from there…
