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?

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

[layan17]

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

[Robin W]

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

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?

[Robin W]

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 .

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

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

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
