Hi Buddies!

I checked out the “Layout and functionality” page, and I found that I can add Social Media Fields to bbPress through this function:

function add_extra_contactmethod( $contactmethods ) {
// Add new ones
$contactmethods['twitter'] = 'Twitter';
$contactmethods['facebook'] = 'Facebook';
$contactmethods['googleplus'] = 'Google Plus';
$contactmethods['youtube'] = 'Youtube';
  
// remove unwanted
unset($contactmethods['aim']);
unset($contactmethods['jabber']);
unset($contactmethods['yim']);
  
return $contactmethods;
}
add_filter('user_contactmethods', 'add_extra_contactmethod');

I wonder if there is a way to make them visible. I mean if I add my Facebook account could bbPress show it on the public profile with a Facebook Icon?

And also show them in users topics and replies posted?

Any advice, thanks!

Hi contemplate,

Can you make a skimmed down version of your solution for people who have ONLY bbpress?

/**
 * Hooked into the new reply function, this notification action is responsible
 * for notifying topic and hierarchical reply authors of topic replies.
 * Fixed: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-reply-notification-link-to-the-reply/
 */
function bbp_buddypress_add_notification_custom( $reply_id = 0, $topic_id = 0, $forum_id = 0, $anonymous_data = false, $author_id = 0, $is_edit = false, $reply_to = 0 ) {

	// Bail if somehow this is hooked to an edit action
	if ( !empty( $is_edit ) ) {
		return;
	}

	// Get autohr information
	$topic_author_id   = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id );
	$secondary_item_id = $author_id;

	// Hierarchical replies
	if ( !empty( $reply_to ) ) {
		$reply_to_item_id = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $reply_to );
	}

	// Get some reply information
	$args = array(
		'user_id'          => $topic_author_id,
		'item_id'          => $reply_id,
		'component_name'   => bbp_get_component_name(),
		'component_action' => 'bbp_new_reply',
		'date_notified'    => get_post( $reply_id )->post_date,
	);

 	// Notify the topic author if not the current reply author
 	if ( $author_id !== $topic_author_id ) {
		$args['secondary_item_id'] = $secondary_item_id ;

		bp_notifications_add_notification( $args );
 	}
 
 	// Notify the immediate reply author if not the current reply author
 	if ( !empty( $reply_to ) && ( $author_id !== $reply_to_item_id ) ) {
		$args['secondary_item_id'] = $reply_to_item_id ;

		bp_notifications_add_notification( $args );
 	}
}
remove_action( 'bbp_new_reply', 'bbp_buddypress_add_notification', 10 );
add_action( 'bbp_new_reply', 'bbp_buddypress_add_notification_custom', 10, 7 );

This plugin is even better for image uploads, imho 🙂

At the top, and at the bottom of the users page is the ability to change a users role, there is a bug that is fixed for bbPress 2.6 but in 2.5.x if you use the top dropdown to change users roles it won’t work, it should work using the bottom dropdown 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

You’d need to write or have written on your behalf a custom plugin for this functionality, bbPress doesn’t support this “out of the box”

Hi,
Since my last login I am unable to change the forum user role of any of my members from the user’s tab in the dashboard. I select the user and the role and press change and nothing happens.

no idea why it is not in core, but this I think adds that functionality

Maybe to help out a bit:

Thank you Robin for your response. It’s much appreciated. I actually had already tried that route exactly as you have described plus I probably didn’t make my question clear on the private part.

Here is the link to my test page of forums – http://imaginationfoundry.com/forumhome/

I made “Pasteboard Heaven” a category and then packet of fun with PH its parent. Even though I chose Alternate on BPQ my site is creating an indent instead of bringing it down one notch on its on line.

Regarding the private portion I meant I didn’t want the private groups to display on my main forum index page.

Any thoughts on why my bbpress is creating an indent?

Any thoughts on how to hide th private groups from displaying on my forum page?

Thank you Robin or any others.

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

Hi,

How do I get the topics and reply on my bbpress forum? I got the main “forums” page to display full width using the “full width template” but everything else is still got the sidebar.

Please help!

here is my website forums http://www.iappadapt.com/community/

[imthinking]

I’m a solid 7.5 out of 10 on WP but 100% new to BBpress.

I plan on having about 15 categories with some 50 forums for each category on my site. The current default display isn’t easy to follow so I’m attempting to find a way to easily change the layout on the forum index display page.

However, I don’t want to show all of the forums as some are private to groups etc.

I’m looking to achieve this look on this page: http://theme-sphere.com/smart-mag/forums/

I understand CSS is involved here but I’m looking for a get me going fix.

How can I list multiple forum titles on one page. When I use the code [bbp-single-forum id=2733] and then use it again to show a different forum it will only show the first one.

Is this not possible with shortcode?

Could I create a graphic bar and separate groups of forum titles like in the page I linked to?

Thank you for whoever guides in the path of rest as I have exhausted these forums in an attempt to answer these questions.

🙂

3 days and no reply from bbpress support for a very basic question?

is payment now necessary to be able to get help around here? just asking.

[jbrownwebdev]

I’m currently working on a project for a client who wants to have the latest reply from any topic in a forum show up on the main bbpress page under the forum name. Is there a way to get this reply from the database using either built in functions or a wp_query. I also need to show the persons avatar, name, and when it was posted. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Dev site is at http://realestateinvesting.how/topics/. I can’t tell you exactly what version of bbpress they are using as the client hired a developer before me who hid the plugins unless your at a user level higher than admin. WordPress version is 4.5

[atmojones]

@Robkk any thoughts?

So I made a clean install of WordPress and bbPress (and then after a few test posts I installed buddypress which didn’t change anything) and made 2 users. When I @mention a user in the forum it links correctly regardless of how many spaces I enter. HOWEVER, it does always strip the leading spaces down to 1 in the presentation of the post. If I click Edit on the post the original number of spaces can be seen. Is this intended behavior?

I’m going to make the changes to functions.php to enable the visual editor and to enable buddypress @mention suggestions in bbPress visual editor (like my production site) and see if the error reproduces.

Hello, I Installed wordpress correctly with an mySQL, installed a theme, then installed bbPress. When I click on Forums, I see they exist in the control panel, but when I visit the pages, they just don’t exist. My theme comes with a Basket because it comes with a market, and even the URL/Basket is missing. I’m not sure what is going on as I am new to WordPress. This site is keeping me afloat so any help i really appreciate.
