Is there a way I can autosubscribe all users to a specific forum? I currently have a classified “system” but it is way too cumbersome. All I need is the bbpress forums.. “for sale” and “wanted”
but I need everyone initially subscribed to them.

[chumtarou]

Would anyone know how to add placeholder text into the visual editor version of the text area for forums.

Once we enable the visual editor option mentioned here, this option from WPMU no longer works.

Thanks very much in advance.

Hello!

So far I can only see topics on how to disable RSS Feed but I can’t seem to find any answers on how to add a subscription button for forums/topics/replies.

Is there any way somebody help me on how I can add in a subscription button?

Thanks!

WP Version: 4.9.1
bbPress: 5.4
Using Salient Theme

I want to add a taxonomy (which I’ve already created) to replies which are in all forums except one. I’m struggling to find the exact functions that I need to use for this though, e.g. to check the forum name (I don’t want to rely on the forum ID in case that is changed in a reinstall) and to set the taxonomy. I can’t find a list of all functions in the documentation.

I’m going to be creating a child theme and I’m pretty sure that it’s bbp_insert_reply() that I need to modify. I’ve found that ok. But it’s what functions to call to do the simple test and set that I want to do that I’m struggling with, even searching the function files of other parts of bbPress. So it seems like a simple case of testing the forum name and then setting the taxonomy if the test passes, but I am unsure of the two functions to use.

Can anyone point me in the right direction, please? Thanks in advance.

Hello!

I notice Bbpress doesn’t have a feature for RSS feed implementation? So far I can only see topics on how to disable RSS Feed but I can’t seem to find any answers on how to add a subscription button for forums/topics/replies.

Is there any way somebody help me on how I can add in a subscription button?

Thanks!

I tried it with twentyten, plugins (other than bbpress) disabled.

What I mean by “not working” this:

All comments (and replies) are being listed chronologically, instead of “threading”, which I understand to be (1) appearing directly underneath the replied-to comment, (2) indented.

Neither of those things happen when a comment is replied to.

Clicking the “reply” link to any comment slides the screen down to the comment form at bottom. Though the form has a little “reply to (comment)” title, the comment shows up at the very bottom of the page, i.e. chronologically. Replying to that reply has the same result. No indent.

(I’d be happy to grant private access to the site!)

ok, so if you say the forum is public, but hidden in buddypress, then we are on basic fault finding.

so as a test

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.

I’d start with buddypress. You are just deactivating as a test.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

Is there anyway to use a form with bbpress. I have a unique situation were the owner wants to use groups and forums, but also use a form within a forum so participants answer questions in a formatted way. Is this possible? has anyone ever done this?

[patbell101]

I have several special interest groups by category as standard wp posts. I want to migrate them from one site as blog posts to another as bbPress forum topics. What would be the best way to do this?

[bensainz]

I am having trouble getting the topic page template to default to the same page format as my forum page. I created a custom template “bbp-sidebars” that presents my forum page with a sidebar for forum page views and topic views. The forum picks up the custom template, but the topics page ignores it and defaults to the blog view template. So far I downloaded bbp Style Pack, bbp shortcodes, bbP Tookkit, Weaver for bbPress, and What the File to see if there was a setting to accomplish my goal. I also read multiple articles on custom templates, but none address the topic layout. Also, after a new topic or topic response is posted, I can manually go in and set the page settings to have it display the way I want. While my site is growing I can probably do this, but after a certain point it will be too hard to keep up.

I am using WP 4.9.4, ForeFront theme Version 1.04 as a subtheme under GeneratePress V 2.02
My Website is https://defensecareersHQ.com PW is “VetsHelpingVets”
An example of my issue can be viewed here
https://www.defensecareershq.com/forums/topic/how-about-l-3-technologies/

Also, please note I manually set the all other topic pages to display correctly. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

[Robin W]

I thought we had one, but can’t find it.

The best way into bbpress is to start with the templates – these are the most likely thing you’ll want to alter, and placing amended ones in a ‘bbpress’ folder in your theme will make weordpress use these instead.

so go to

bbpress/templates/default/bbress/content-archive-forum.php

This is the first template called, and all the functions and templates you want to use will cascade from here.

[fatguyonbike]

Hi,

i want to configure bbPress on my own theme. I am looking for a list of functions like https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference just for bbPress. Where can I find this?

Thank you!

[Robin W]

so..there is no any way to “hide” register form and just left social media login?

ok, we’re a bit outside bbpress support here, as this is theme/other plugin related.

where is register (I’m not good in your language!)?

Also, can you tell me how can I publish social widget shortcode in header of all forum pages?

if you are ok with copying coding and FTP files, then I may be able to help

[florianm]

For our restricted members bbPress forum, I would like to display a user’s BadgeOS points below their username next to their posts/replies. I already found some code to display these points but I am not sure if it’s correct and how to make it show below the username.

function badgeos_get_users_points( $user_id = 0 ) {
// Use current user’s ID if none specified
if ( ! $user_id )
$user_id = wp_get_current_user()->ID;
// Return our user’s points as an integer (sanely falls back to 0 if empty)
return absint( get_user_meta( $user_id, ‘_badgeos_points’, true ) );
}

Any help would be much appreciated!

FYI: we also use the latest versions of BuddyPress and the Boss theme.

[Robin W]

I think they are pretty much as per the list above a topic/reply.

You can use this plugin to extend

bbPress2 BBCode

[Robin W]

I’m probably the worst at buddypress, bbpress is my speciality.

May well be worth posting on the buddypres support forum

[angrywarrior]

Hi! 🙂

Pretty much as the subject says. Is there somewhere a list over all BBcodes that you can use in BBpress?

I spent some time googleing after this but I could not find any published information.

Thank you.

Kind regards
AngryWarrior

[Robin W]

Sorry – I can’t immediately see a better way.

I’m not a bbpress author, but to get code changed you’ll need to post in trac

We have come across and issue regarding bbPress and Groups in BuddyPress. Our organization decided against my wishes to start using the terminology Forums to describe Focus Groups and Committees. This has created an issue for our portal as Forums means something different in bbPress. After much digging I found an easy way to update the group navigation bar to reflect a name other than Forum, but the easiest way to make this work is to add apply_filters in setup_variables() in plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/groups.php like this:

                $this->name          = __( 'Forum', 'bbpress' );
                $this->nav_item_name = __( 'Forum', 'bbpress' );

                $this->nav_item_name = apply_filters('bbp_update_nav_item_title', $this->nav_item_name);
                $this->name = apply_filters('bbp_update_forum_name', $this->name);

then I just use add_filter in my plugin and it updates the Navigation Bar for groups to display something different.

Is this the only way this can be done, or is there a filter/action i can use to change it without touching the bbpress code? I don’t want to keep changing code every time there is an update to bbPress.

So my request is to add these apply_filter lines above to the groups.php file going forward for flexibility. I’m sure the same could be don with slug, but I don’t care much what the url is as long as the display name is correct.

Thanks for everything you guys do!

Hello,
Can we Make bbpress Forums act like Facebook groups in the way posts are displayed :
all the topics are shown on the main forum page
you can add comments right away from this main forum page
on every post you can see some of the comments and Click on a link to view more – also on the same page
you can scroll for ever to see old topics
can we achieve something like that with bbpress ?
thanks

I know this thread is 2 years old but it didn’t have the solution I was looking for, so I did some digging and figured out how to remove the Search button entirely. (So I’m putting it here in case anyone else looks for the same thing.)

CSS will work to hide the Search button, but you can also remove it completely by modifying the bbPress template files.

It took me a long time to find the right one, but what you wanna do is go to your plugins folder, and find the bbpress folder. Then look inside bbpress > templates > default > bbpress, and find the file named ‘content-archive-forum.php’

This file outputs the <div id="bbpress-forums"> code at the top of your index page, then immediately after that it outputs the search field and the breadcrumbs.

To remove the search box ONLY from your Forum Index page, just comment out the following lines of code:

<div id="bbpress-forums">

	<?php 
    
    /* Comment these lines out to remove search from your Forum Index page.
    
    if ( bbp_allow_search() ) : ?>

		<div class="bbp-search-form">

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'search' ); ?>

		</div>

	<?php endif; */ ?>

	<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>

This will ONLY disable the search box; if you want to remove the breadcrumbs as well, then you need to comment out (or delete) the bbp_breadcrum(); line as well.

NOTE: The safest way to do this is to create a bbpress folder inside your theme, and save the modified content-archive-forum.php there (otherwise it’ll be overwritten the next time bbPress updates.)

Hello,

Is there a shortcode or a function that can retrieves all of subscribed forums,forums that you have replied? In short to get all forum/topics that you or a user have involvement in a single page.

We are using.
bbpress Version 2.5.14
WordPress 4.9.4
Custom made theme.

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses the worpress login.

On first login, users are given the default role on dashboard>settings>forums

so it should all be fine.

[rcoyle56]

@netweb I tried using your code in my site’s function.php, however, the code did not work and in fact caused display errors. I noticed that this post was a few years old. Do you know how the code would be updated to work with current bbpress? I need to remove the Home breadcrumb specifically. The forum and topic breadcrumbs are fine.

[Robin W]

ok it works on bbpress with a twentyten theme – that’s all I can say.

Can you define down more what ‘not working’ means

Without a site to see, at the moment you are telling us that your car won’t work, but that’s all the information you give:-)
