bbpress uses subscriptions which are turned on in the forums settings.

Users who then subscribe to a forum are emailed notifications when a new topic is posted in that forum, and can then subscribe to the topic to receive notifications of replies.

Is this what you need, or can you come back with further info.

Hello,

Recently I started to setup a community using buddypress and bbpress and only after a few tests I noticed that when someone create or reply a topic no notification is created. This is a bit frustrating considering how important the notifications are to keep track of what is happening in the community.

Looking through the forum for a solution I found a topic with a similar subject, however when trying to use their code a empty notification is created (there is no text or description). Here is the topic: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-reply-notification-link-to-the-reply/

Anyone can tell me if the code above still working? I think that something changed since that this code was published, but I cant figured out what.

[Robin W]

the screenshot says that you are using buddypress and the buddypress profile as well, and that code is just for bbpress.

If you paste your reply immediately above on the buddypress support site, someone should be able to tell you the correct add_action to hook to buddypress profile

I just did that actually….didn’t see the notice until I activated the bbpress toolkit plugin previously. If I disable it, then it goes away. If I turn off debug in config, the message goes away.

[Martin J]

Greetings.

bbPress Version 2.5.14
Only shows if I have debug on, and noticed this on the main “forums” page. I should also mention that this started to show when I activated the bbPress Toolkit plugin Version 1.0.12

But when I noticed the error message related to a bbpress includes file, I thought I would post this.

[Martin J]

This shows up for me…

“Notice: Undefined index: forum_id in D:\xampp\htdocs\rp\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\forums\template.php on line 767”

Thank you. I was introduced to WordPress a few weeks ago so everything is new to me. If there is an alternate bbpress support plugin other than these two you recommended please let me know.

Hi

I am struggling with a login button within my page for bbpress. I have tried to use 2 different plugs and I am having 2 different problems. I dont want to use a sidebar option. If anyone can provide a solution to either one I would really appreciate it:

bbp style pack – When I select add login/logout to menu options it adds “Log In” to the navigation menu higher then the other menu options (ie. it sits vertically higher by about half the text height”. Can anyone help with how to align this with the other text?

bbpress WP tweaks – This provides an acceptable button to login however the login link takes me to the actual backend wordpress login page. Simply changing the href=” ” to the page on my website does not work either.

<p>{login_text} / {register_text}</p>

I would prefer to use the bbp style pack however either will do at this stage. I am very new to buidling websites and I don’t want to play around in the functions.php area at risk of crashing my entire site.

Thank you for your help.

This will be easier to do in bbPress 2.6. A bunch of hooks were added to the codebase to make status manipulation possible in many ways it was not previously.

Hello
I used travel log theme to install bbpress.But there is some bug.
In the lower left corner of each page of the forum, there is an “edit” button for Participant user, how to remove it?

@clivesmith

If you fine with code, then this is how I would go about it

1. create a split in topic & replies, so you have a place to put the ‘featured reply’
Use this piece of code in your functions file

bbp_show_lead_topic

2. then you’ll need a flag for the featured reply.

This code does an ‘advert’ flag for a topic, but has much of the code you’d need to do a flag for a reply to show it is featured – I’ll leave you to work out which bits you’ll need, but the key is the hook to

add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_form_submit_wrapper', 'at_checkbox' );

change this to

add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_form_submit_wrapper', 'at_checkbox' );

amend the references from topic to reply

and add some if(bbp_keymaster() ) to make it only show for you, and you will be most of the way there

// show the "Mark if it is an advert" checkbox on topic form
	add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_form_submit_wrapper', 'at_checkbox' );
		
function at_checkbox() {
    // Text for the topic form
	global $topic_advert_text ;
	?>
		<p>

			<input name="at_advert" id="at_advert" type="checkbox"<?php checked( '1', at_is_advert( bbp_get_topic_id() ) ); ?> value="1" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" />

			<?php if ( bbp_is_topic_edit() && ( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) != bbp_get_current_user_id() ) ) : ?>

				<label for="at_advert"><?php echo '<span class="dashicons dashicons-awards"></span>'.$topic_advert_text.'</label>' ;?>

			<?php else : ?>

				<label for="at_advert"><?php echo '<span class="dashicons dashicons-awards"></span>'.$topic_advert_text.'</label>' ;?>

			<?php endif; ?>

		</p>
<?php
}
	
//check if topic is advert
function at_is_advert( $topic_id = 0 ) {
	
	$retval 	= false;

	if ( ! empty( $topic_id ) ) {
		$retval = get_post_meta( $topic_id, 'at_topic_is_advert', true );
	}
	return (bool) apply_filters( 'at_is_advert', (bool) $retval, $topic_id );
}

// save the advert state
		add_action( 'bbp_new_topic',  'at_update_topic' );
		add_action( 'bbp_edit_topic',  'at_update_topic' );

//update topic 
function at_update_topic( $topic_id = 0 ) {

		if( isset( $_POST['at_advert'] ) )
			update_post_meta( $topic_id, 'at_topic_is_advert', '1' );
		else
			delete_post_meta( $topic_id, 'at_topic_is_advert' );

	}

3. 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

This then you can use to add some code

if (at_is_advert( $reply_id )) then….. display this reply

and you should be there

so

the reply form will show a checkbox to make a reply featured available only to say keymaster, and as keymaster you can edit a topic to make it a featured
the content_single_topic_lead will check if a reply is featured and then show it if it is

I wish I had the time to code this all for you, but please if you do work oyt some code, post back here for other to benefit

Please, I will like to create a button to create a new topic on each forum page. Thanks for your help.

bbpress does not do custom topic statuses, so they are coming from that support plugin, best post there as it is that plugin that needs to work with 2.6, but most plugin authors do not code for pre-release software as it changes.

[Robin W]

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?

Here screenshots:

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

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
