ok so leave in the code that you have – that will make the default into date

then add this

function rew_forum_freshness_link( $forum_id = 0) {
	echo rew_get_forum_freshness_link( $forum_id );
}

function rew_get_forum_freshness_link( $forum_id = 0 ) {
		$forum_id  = bbp_get_forum_id( $forum_id );
		$active_id = bbp_get_forum_last_active_id( $forum_id );
		$link_url  = $title = '';

		if ( empty( $active_id ) )
			$active_id = bbp_get_forum_last_reply_id( $forum_id );

		if ( empty( $active_id ) )
			$active_id = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_id( $forum_id );

		if ( bbp_is_topic( $active_id ) ) {
			$link_url = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_permalink( $forum_id );
			$title    = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_title( $forum_id );
		} elseif ( bbp_is_reply( $active_id ) ) {
			$link_url = bbp_get_forum_last_reply_url( $forum_id );
			$title    = bbp_get_forum_last_reply_title( $forum_id );
		}

		$time_since = bbp_get_forum_last_active_time( $forum_id );

		if ( !empty( $time_since ) && !empty( $link_url ) )
			$anchor = '<a href="' . esc_url( $link_url ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( $title ) . '">' . esc_html( $time_since ) . '</a>';
		else
			$anchor = esc_html__( 'No Topics', 'bbpress' );

		return apply_filters( 'rew_get_forum_freshness_link', $anchor, $forum_id, $time_since, $link_url, $title, $active_id );
	}

and where you want to show a ‘since’ freshness link change

bbp_forum_freshness_link() to
rew_forum_freshness_link()

You should put any amended templates into your child theme

come back if you don’t know how to do that

Hi guys,

My bbpress doesnt work correctly for my users.

Some say they cant make a topic, i tested with a test account and it looks like with participant and moderator role i can make a topic but its gone after i refresh the page how is this possible?

here you soo that i made a topic

and now its gone.

how is this possible?

[emgb_520]

I have installed a plugin called “MENU SWAPPER”. This allows for each page/post on the site to choose any menu that has been created to be displayed on that page/post.

Originally, the functionality of this plugin did not include ANY of the forum pages. I figured out what to add to the menu swapper code to get the individual forums and the topics to have the functionality to swap menus. See the code below, I added “forum” and “topic” to make that happen.

function mswp_add_swap_meta_box() {
$post_types = array(
‘post’,
‘page’,
‘forum’,
‘topic’
);

The only pages on the site where there is no MENU SWAPPER functionality are the forums archive page here: https://scoutfantasysports.com/forums/

I am assuming this is because there isn’t really a “PAGE” in wordpress for this.

The menu on that page needs to be the same as on the individual forum pages here: https://scoutfantasysports.com/forum/fantasy-talk/

I need to know how to make this happen because it looks like I will need to edit a bbPress plugin file to do it.

Thanks.

I wonder if I can suggest this for next versions of bbpress? (Something similar to “Popular” or “No-Reply” labels)

Just in case anyone needed… here is a plugin:

https://plugins.dev4press.com/gd-topic-prefix/

[emgb_520]

Yes, bbPress is linked in the navigation as “Forums”.

[Robin W]

ok, so you have bbpress as an iten in a menu – yes ?

If so is it a page, a link or what ?

Hi,
who can help / who knows a migration tool from wpforo to bbpress
Greets,
Ej

[jobibex]

I have a job board http://www.jobibex.com that uses Jobify theme and I just installed bbpress to allow job seekers and employers discuss issues related to job market. I created two forums one for jobseekers to post their resumes as topics so interested employers can view their resumes and contact them and the other for employers to post vacancies in the form of topics.

For jobseekers’ topics I want to restrict the content and format of the topic. They can only fill out a form that includes their biodata such as education, experience, location,expected salary and a brief profile description.

Similarly, employers will have to fill out a form describing the vacancies they are advertising. When they open a new topic in this section they will have to fill a predesigned form which includes: title, salary, required experience and education, location, working hours etc.

Is there an option in bbpress to achieve this?

[simondevries]

you are right. members is not from bbpress. But aqually dont know which plugin members is from, how can i find this out.

there is a page but i cannot edit it its blanko but the page works.

[simondevries]

huh not??? i thought it was bbpress.

[Robin W]

I presume that members are part of buddypress or another plugin – it’s not a bbpress concept.

[emgb_520]

I have installed a menu swapper plugin and this is the only page that doesn’t allow me to change the navigation with that plugin.

Is there a way to do this within bbPress? I need a different nav displayed than the one that is currently there.

Thanks.

[cinsin]

I’m glad you say that, at least it’s clear to me on how private and hidden should be used in theory, but it seems somewhere the plugins got mixed-up. bbPress Capabilities was last updated 4 years ago which means is probably not safe to use but fixes my problem, Members might or might not reply to my post, not really willing to pay for raising possible bugs, will let you know.

[cinsin]

I did thank you. I found out that the one permission that is required to view private topics from bbPress Capabilities permissions, and which works on the Participant role is read_hidden_forums! the only pain is that is needs to be set on each user one by one, manageable for now.

[Robin W]

well it does have the issue that it doesn’t work on bbpress 🙂

Sorry, not one I’m going to investigate, bbpress cannot be responsible for making sure every other plugin in the world works with it

[Yanur Islam Piash]

Their plugin is working well. No issues. They are working each and every other pages. Just not in the bbpress archive pages.

[Robin W]

Again easiest solution is to not to show the avatar

#bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta img.avatar {

display : None ;
}

The issue isn’t actually with this css, but changing it is the quickest solution !

[Robin W]

you may also need to use this

bbPress Genesis Extend

[u_Oi]

Thank You. Well, I saw the issue since the first time I installed bbpress and there wasn’t any extra plugin.

Notice Bar is fixed now, but Avatar and Username still floating…

If it helps… I can deactivate all plugins right now!?

[Robin W]

not sure if it’s theme or plugin – maybe be a combination

anyway if you are happy not to have the avatar showing in that line, then this fixes

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-template-notice img.avatar {
	float: left;
}

add it to your custom css.

[u_Oi]

When I change to any default wordpress theme the issue seems fixed. I thought It is something related with the theme

[Robin W]

ok, nothing obvious.

apart from bbpress, what other bbpress related plugins are you using ?

[Robin W]

add this to your custom css and alter the image to the one you want

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper textarea.bbp-the-content {
	background-image: url("paper.gif");
}

[Robin W]

besides bbpress , what other bbpress related plugins are you running ?
