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

You can use this plugin to extend

bbPress2 BBCode

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

May well be worth posting on the buddypres support forum

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

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:-)

[Robin W]

this isn’t a bbpress thing – wordpress does this for comments, and bbpress just hooks to that.

A quick google found this which shows you how to change the files.

https://www.ostraining.com/blog/wordpress/embed-theming/

sorry – writing a specific solution for you is beyond free help.

[Robin W]

create a directory on your child theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your child theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-statistics.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-statistics.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

so copy this file to your PC and open it up.

then remove lines 37-40 which say

<dt><?php _e( 'Topic Tags', 'bbpress' ); ?></dt>
	<dd>
		<strong><?php echo esc_html( $stats['topic_tag_count'] ); ?></strong>
	</dd>

and save the file back to your website at wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-statistics.php

and yes being a child theme change it won’t get overwritten.

Can you try using the following version:
• https://gist.github.com/pixelnated/5c27a64c450578440554ba902560178f

Via https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fix-for-phpbb3-to-bbpress-conversion-script/

[.:DDoS:.]

I don’t use topic tags might as well remove it. how?

[Robin W]

I’d suggest that something else is disrupting the setting

It could be a theme or plugin issue

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.

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

[Gomle]

First of all, a big thank you to all contributors for this extremely nice forumsoftware. I’ve been on several over the years, and BBPress is a great one – out of the box!

I also have a question about the bubble notification. I am not much of a coder, but I can understand some.

So what I want is that when someone replies to a post in a topic you either started or have ticked the box “subscribe to” – I would like this to show up as a notification in buddypress, and not only by e-mail.

I don’t think my theme handles this, although it’s ready for buddypress, so I think I have to make something out of it myself.

Any suggestions on where I might look for an answer, or maybe there is already a plugin for it that you know of?

[sebaurel]

[Robin W]

sorry – in a word – No. 🙂 I’m not a bbpress author, but the template hierarchy is optional not mandatory viz

‘With the exception of the basic index.php template file, you can choose whether you want to implement a particular template file or not.’

Conditional tags will provide a perfectly good solution, and are a recommended alternative viz

‘You can also use Conditional Tags to control which templates are loaded on a specific page.’, so yes that will be the root to go.

[Mal]

When I create in /wp-content/themes/my-theme/bbpress/loop-topics.php then I can overwrite the default BBPress template this way.

But creating /wp-content/themes/my-theme/bbpress/loop-topics-[FORUM_ID_HERE].php doesn’t use this template for that category ID which seems to be against https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/ and https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/template-hierarchy-in-detail/

Is there a way to create a separate page template per forum ID without using conditional tags in loop-topics.php?

Slack conversations can be hard to follow, anyways here’s a chat recap:
• https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/02/16/gdpr-compliance-chat-recap-february-14th/

Thanks for this @casiepa 🙂

p.s. I’d also like to echo what Robin said, please keep the conversation about the GDPR and not make it personal, we all have differing opinions, and many of us are coming to this from different angles, for example I’m in Australia, we’ve got no legal privacy protections (this isn’t quite true, but it seems like it most of the time) but I’m more than happy to try to understand what the GDPR entails and how we can make bbPress GDPR compliant 🙂

[alriknijdam]

Lol, I already contacted my theme developer, they said I should contact BBpress support because they don’t alter it in any way. Could it be caused by the dutch translation being longer than the English version?

Anyway I’ll contact them again, if they don’t offer a solution I will go the css way.

Thanks

[Robin W]

combination of your theme and bbpress, sorry but nothing that bbpress can do directly about this, works fine on all default wordpress themes.

you can of course alter it with css for your theme.

[jyotixxx]

After a long time struggle I have modded the ehospital Forum look like other forums in the earth.

I have also added a Related post on Tag Base and it works as of now. To see how the reply and quote looks and you must login. Few days of work still left.
