Hey there, so I’ve seen LOADS of posts about this and the code provided to help you create custom roles that do the same as the others.

Only issue is I don’t know HTML I am a total noob at all of this and in NO POST does it state WHERE to put the HTML code?

Custom Capabilities

This was the guide I was trying to follow and it gives me the following code:

unction add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {

$bbp_roles[‘my_custom_role1’] = array(
‘name’ => ‘name 1’,
‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles[‘my_custom_role2’] = array(
‘name’ => ‘name 2’,
‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles[‘my_custom_role3’] = array(
‘name’ => ‘name 3’,
‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() ) // the same capabilities as keymaster
);
return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_dynamic_roles’, ‘add_custom_role’, 1 );

Which is fine

except it doesn’t tell me where to put it? Do I just go to Plugins>edit>bbpress/bbpress.php and stick it anywhere in that big massive box of HTML?

Hello everyone!

I want to do one thing on my bbpress and I’d like to do it without plugins.
Currently my entire forum is full width. In my child theme I included the template “fullwidth-page.php” renaming it as “bbpress.php”.
It worked perfect.
My intention now is to see the sidebar in the whole forum, but in the pages of topics is full width.
I think it improves the user experience. When they see the main page of forum, with the listings of forums, or when they enter a specific forum does not bother the sidebar to see what topics exist. But I would like to remove the sidebar when the user enters a topic or will do anything in it (read it, respond, etc …)

Do you know how I can do this?

If I delete the template I made to remove the sidebar (“fullwidth-page.php” renamed as “bbpress.php”) I get the sidebar in the forum.
But what do I do next to remove the topics sidebar and everything related to them?

Thanks greetings!

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

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

Apologies, the fix is for bbPress 2.6

[Steveim]

WP 4.7, bbPress 2.6a http://wordpress-6213-13994-191680.cloudwaysapps.com/forums/

Having converted from PHPBB 3.1.10 and run all of the repair functions I am having a few issues with things not being correctly reported.
1. All of the voices counts are set zero.
2. Last activity is incorrect; http://wordpress-6213-13994-191680.cloudwaysapps.com/forums/forum/general-hysterectomy/alternatives-to-hysterectomy/ says forum last updated 4 months ago but topics show from just 2 months ago.

I had to use 2.6a to get the import from PHPBB; should I switch to 2.5.11 now?

I’m facing a problem related to forum topics. On the listing of forum topics, when I click on any topic in the list, it display the detail page of latest topic. URL is correct but show title and content of latest topic.

WordPress version: 4.5.4
bbPress version: 2.5.8

I researched on the BBpress forum and also on google, I found that by using [bbp-topic-tags] shortquote, I can show visitors of my site the tags which are used in all the forums.

But the tags appear all next to each other. Is there any way to display tag with the number of topics besides them. Also, the tags are just shown in a single line. It would be better to have a show in an unordered list. And then sorted according to the number of times topics they have been tagged to.

[adarshmadrecha]

Nice. I am looking forward to this in the next major update of bbpress.

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

item 3 – method 2

[wrspoon]

Wordpress Version 4.7
bbPress Version 2.5.12

I’m very new to all of this and I just installed and activated bbpress. I’ve searched and I cannot find instructions for connecting a menu item I created “Discussion Forums” to the actual forums. I see that there are slugs and short codes in the settings menu of the dashboard, but I can’t figure out how to make it all work.

Please help. thanks

We actually completely moved away from bbPress. I don’t recall finding a solution to this question.

[junglejim620]

Hi bbPress,

I am so wondering is there’s any way I can disabled the TOPIC box, but just to have the comment/input box ONLY? That way people can type straight in from the MAIN initial TOPIC.

Although is more well built with the topic, but would it destroy the forum structure or its functionality?

Please advise help, Jimmy

[Robin W]

@jarstan ok, I’ve deleted all the posts on the other thread – so let’s run with this one.

I am suspecting you are meaning the ‘login’ ‘register’ etc. links beside the breadcrumb?

If so I suspect that these are being added by another plugin – maybe bbpress login links?

If so, then you need to direct your support question to them.

If not – then come back and I’ll see if I can help further

[Pascal Casier]

I’m sure all threads here get noticed, but for some of them we really have no answer.
Just to be correct, not having upvote is not ‘an issue’ but I see your point for this ‘feature request’. I know it has already been discussed but if I understood well, we need to wait for the next major version of bbPress where (thanks to the change to how topics and replies are stored) it might be possible to think of upvoting.
So just to ensure you this did not go unnoticed.
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

What version of bbPress are you using ? Did you upgrade to the latest 2.5 ?

Is there any way to order Topics in Forum by Alphabet (Topic Title).

Hey Everybody .
im using wordpress with bbpress plugin i can’t send followup emails or any other email except a new user notification email .
my email tests and new subscription email works but any other email service does not( follow up or new topics email, new discussion … )
wp-mail-smtp to test emails
im using wordpress 4.6.1
bbpress: 2.5.11
Can you please help me solve this problem
thank you

[theacademicperson]

My WordPress version is 4.7
My website link is http://www.theparadigmshiftgroup.com
I have already searched for my question in bbPress support forum (where I am posting now), there are previous threads on this question but the plugin mentioned at that time is now unsupported now (bbPress like topics, last updated 2 years ago). Another thread on the same topic don’t have reply. So I decided to bring this matter into the attention of bbPress authors again. If bbPress already contains this feature, please let me know as well.

bbPress don’t have a voting up feature built in. So the topics get sorted by just last activity and not popularity. A forum seems incomplete without a voting option for topics and replies.

I tried different plugins for this feature. There are many plugins on voting but they are mostly for WordPress posts, not bbPress topics and replies. Some plugins are able to put a “Vote Up” option above the topic, but it doesn’t help the topics to get sorted based on it. Some plugins only shows “vote up” written and instead of a button. Moreover these plugins only can vote topics and not the replies.

Please also include a feature to show the number of votes besite the topic in feeds. Because people choose which topic to read in the feed page.

I always found this community very helpful. I am sure this issue will get noticed.

One forum only shows as ‘logged out’, the rest ‘logged in’ – very strange

Strange behaviour on bbPress when logged in, but only on a certain Forum. On my site http://www.total-fishing.com there are 6 main forums:

Coarse And Match Fishing
For Sale/Wanted
Match Results
Carp Fishing
Sea Fishing
Fly Fishing.

On For Sale Wanted [ http://www.total-fishing.com/forums/forum/fishing/for-salewanted/ ] only, and none of the others the bbPress Topic Listing page shows the user a Logged Out when they are infact Logged In. To add to this, it only occurs on Page 1 of the Toipic Listings as if you go to Page 2 or onwards it changes to Logged in. You can see this in the screen shots here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4023696/Support/TF-ForumLoginProblem-SS.jpg

The problem is that logged in users wanting to post a new Topic (in this case put something on For Sale) cannot do so as the Create New Topic link and input area does not display unless you go to Page 2. Most users will of course not know this.

Any ideas on what is happening and a fix? Thanks – JJ

date order:

put this in your functions fil :

function rew_date_topic_order( $args ) {
                $args['orderby']='date';
                $args['order']='DESC';  //change to ASC to put oldest at top
                return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_has_topics_parse_args','rew_date_topic_order');
