Hi There, Just installed bbPress and I love it, but one thing:
On the main front page of the forum where it displays all topics the search bar is at the bottom and I would much prefer it to be at the top. Which .php file would I need to go to, to fix this? Thanks in advance!
loop-single-reply is the template that displays posts and replies
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress
copy this to a bbpress directory in your theme (see codex for how to do this if needed), and then you should be able to put a “logged in” condition around whatever you want in this. For instance
<?php bbp_reply_content(); ?>
to make that bit conditional
Funny. BBPress need to remove those filters on this forum too. When I copied and pasted your example, I had to go back and remove the fancy quotes.
Anyway, found the solution :
When removing the filter, the priority has to be the same as when the filter was added. The filters are added in : /bbpress/includes/core/filters.php with a priority of 3.
So, to successfully remove those filters from functions.php, add in the priority :
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'wptexturize' , 3);
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'wptexturize', 3);
I have a relatively new installation of bbPress and while the learning curve isn’t great, this particular problem is just causing me grief. If I could just somehow go into the dashboard and move these posts back into order I would do it, but I can’t seem to figure out how. Wishful thinking….
We have one topic that has gone on for 5 pages now. I know I should have limited the number of replies on topics. However, this forum is for owners with sick dogs and I didn’t want to stifle their conversations. When I move us to our permanent home, I will do this. This is a temporary place.
So in this particular situation I have this at the bottom of the replies:
reply 1150 12/5
reply 1016 11/27
reply 1017 11/27
reply 1025 11/27
reply 1064 11/28
I have explained the difference to them about replying to the topic (use the entry field at the bottom of the page) vs reply to another reply (click on “Reply” inside the reply you want to answer. We did have some confusion early on, but for the most part they are doing everything right.
So I took a look at reply 1016 to see what was up. I noticed that one of the new moderators had apparently mistakenly made a revision to this post about 2 hours later after it was originally posted. There was really nothing revised, but it does show up in the Post Revisions history. I tried to delete this revision but I got this error:
The AJAX request has Failed, Please try again;
The unexpected data was: [object XMLDocument]
If one of the keymasters would like to look at this particular topic and replies you can view it here.

I will do anything you need to figure this problem out. We just can’t have replies about a dog that is alive be sequentially after the date the dog has succumbed to the illness. If one of you needs to get inside the dashboard then so be it.

Hi
I’m trying to set my forum so that a non-member can view the list of topics in a forum but when they click on a topic to read it they get a message telling them they must be logged in to view the topic.
This bbPress forum does exactly what I’m trying to achieve.
I can hide the forums entirely using this code, but I want to show a list of topics to non-members but not allow them to view the content of the topic.
Thanks in advance for any help and advice.
Webmaster Tools says robots.txt say no to index, but their is any robots.txt on my server (only -> http://www.xbox-one-erfolge.de/robots.txt)

Hey everyone. I’m new to BBPress and I may not be understanding portions of it correctly.
1. If someone registers for my wordpress website and sign in can they automatically start posting to my bbpress forums? (Do they then have a forum membership too?)
2. Currently the registration is as follows: user inputs username and email and then the password is sent to them via email which they have to reset… How can I build a custom registration form for my wordpress/bbpress site and forums that looks more like http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/register.php where the user can specify their password, agree to terms, etc? (I guess this also depends on if registering for wordpress or bbpress registers for each other as well)
The site I’m building right now is http:/www.thenextarpg.com with the Avada wordpress template.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks guys
For other peopel starting out with bbPress and BuddyPress, I found these really useful:
Hello,
I’m creating a site: http://www.contramare.net/site I’ve installed and activated bbpress.2.5.1, buddy press 1.8.1, I have a weaverII theme with WP 2010 sub-theme (maybe that’s a problem) and a meteor slider plugin on the header. Everything was working fine until I installed bbpress (buddypress seems fine). Two problems: 1) can’t create a forum, no option for it except in the forums page, but it requires a parent forum… which I can’t create, so I’m stuck; 2) meteor slides not working on forums page, but working fine on buddypress pages. I think maybe I can do it with the buddypress only but from what I read here http://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/ it seems like you have to install bbpress if you want to have any buddypress forums. Is that true? Can you help? If there is coding, can’t do it, unless there’s some step by step guide.
Have you recently update wordpress or other plugin and after you receive this error?
I think is not bbpress related..
You are going to have more issues than just search and search pagination if Premise is only detecting by forum category and/or post_parent in wp_postmeta.
I expect you will also find them turn up via widgets, shortcodes and custom registered views.
If Premise was detecting by each off bbPress’ post types, forum, topic and reply specifically rather than forum category alone you would find that it would also filter these results correctly from search also alleviating your pagination issue whilst also making sure they didn’t turn up in via widgets, shortcodes or custom views.
OK, Thanks, that seems to work perfectly.
Question: What happens when there is a major update, e.g. bbPress 3.0 that maybe has loads of template and css changes?
Even simpler just disable search in bbPress’ settings
Hi there
Using bbPress Version 2.3.2
We’ve got Premise member access module installed. It manages access to posts by adding meta tags to the wp_postmeta table. We then check member access levels against these meta tags to see if the user can access a post.
We also use these member access levels to restrict access to our forums. Unfortunately the member access tags are only added to the forum categories and parents, and not to the individual replies and posts.
This means that restricted posts turn up in search results, and have to be excluded by checking the user access level against that of the forum category or parent.
I’ve managed to exclude the posts from the search results, by adding the following lines of code I found in these forums to the loop in loop-search.php just before get_template_part is called:
$parent = array_reverse(get_post_ancestors($post->ID)); // get an array of all the parent pages in order from most distant to closest.
$first_parent = get_page($parent[0]); //get the first page in the array, which is the most distant parent
$int = apply_filters(‘the_ID’, $first_parent->ID); //filter the $first_parent to get only the wordpress page/post ID, which is an integer like 49 or 565. store it as a variable $int
//Skip post if user can't access it.
if (!IQS_can_user_access_post($int)) {
continue;
}
This code works, however the pagination results still show for all the excluded posts.
I’ve been trying to figure out how to modify the bbpress()->search_query results but I’m not very good with PHP.
Any advice on how I can exclude posts from a search query or fix my pagination?
You should have all your customizations as per this document
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
Once you have your customizations per that doc you can upgrade bbPress anytime without having to worry about these things.
Hi,
I got version 2.5.0 and could update and should.
I made some little changes in design, css and a few templates.
I looked at this page: http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches#2.5
and if I understand correctly, only the bbpress.php has changed (and readme.txt).
Would it be enough to just download that file and replace it or must it be done the official way, by installed plugins/update?
Regards, Ron
That is a pretty awesome forum design, shame it’s not bbPress but for certain with a bit of work in that can be achieved 😉
can somebody tell me where to copy the template files so I can customize bbpress. the information here
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
As to extending profile information take a look at how the ‘signature’ is implemented in GD bbPress Tools as a good starting point.
Here are some themes in the WordPress Theme repo that specifically include bbPress out of the box.
As others have already mentioned you can use any theme you want and typically it will just work and if you want to style up your forums to match your theme then you can do that do as per the links already mentioned above.
FYI https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1958 Is where we are tracking and getting feedback on implementation, ideas, feedback and so forth for this feature in bbPress Core.
Hi all,
I am the author of the permissions plugin. Sorry for coming into the discussion this late in, but got the topic link from matrixino. I have not done much with bbPress (or WordPress) in a very long time (.NET shop), so please excuse while I refresh my memory.
I will look into this as soon as I can.
John, yes the HTML editor works extremely well as HTML editor, but the HTML editor works extremely badly as web editor for end users. If you had read my post, then you would have noticed that I already mentioned how the visual editor can be enabled. The point is that it is a extremely bad visual editor. Show me one successful social media site that doesn’t support the upload of media. The truth is that the end user interface of bbpress is extremely old fashioned and extremely outdated.
Another thing. A forum moderator should never ever patronize users and send them to Google.
@3tonine, thank you so much! I finally took the time to look into this and I had a different Tinymce plugin installed, changed it to the Tinymce Advanced. I also had the BBpress Enable, but it needed to be updated. Between the two, now everything works and I am a happy camper!
I appreciate you taking the time to help out!
Rachel
The HTML editor does work extremely well, as an HTML editor. If you want to enable the visual editor, a Google search should reveal this page as the top hit:
Enable Visual Editor
