Hi Robin,

thanks for the suggestion, of course I was looking at the code in the plugin before.. but it had overwhelmed me :))

so, after your tip, here is what I ended up with,

add_action ( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum', 'new_topic_button' ) ;

function new_topic_button () {
	if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() && !bbp_is_forum_category() ) {
	$text=__('Create New Topic') ;
	$href = apply_filters ('new_topic_button' , '#new-post' ) ;
	echo '<a class="new_topic_button" href ="'.$href.'">'.$text.'</a>' ;
	}
}

probably there is a more elegant solution.. as the button didn’t want to go to a line below the breadcrumbs.. had to use css

.new_topic_button {
background-color: #0066CC;
border: 0;
border-radius: 5px;
color: #fff;
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: 600;
padding: 15px 30px;
text-decoration: none;
width: auto;
display: block;
width: 200px;
margin-top: 30px;
}

An alternative is to use the dedicated shortcode on a page:

[bbp-topic-form]

This is the best way I have found to allow a logged in user to create a topic. Then, you just link to this page from wherever.

[Robin W]

if you can do some basic editing and understand a bit of php, then this with some work shouldbe what you are after

add_action ( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum', 'bsp_display_buttons' ) ;

function bsp_new_topic_button () {
	global $bsp_style_settings_buttons;
	if (!empty ($bsp_style_settings_buttons['new_topic_description'] )) $text=$bsp_style_settings_buttons['new_topic_description'] ;
	else $text=__('Create New Topic', 'bbp-style-pack') ;
	if ($bsp_style_settings_buttons['button_type'] == 2)  $class=$bsp_style_settings_buttons['Buttonclass'] ;
	else $class='bsp_button1' ;
	if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() && !bbp_is_forum_category() ) {
	$href = apply_filters ('bsp_new_topic_button' , '#new-post' ) ;
	echo '<a class="'.$class.'" href ="'.$href.'">'.$text.'</a>' ;
	}
}

function bsp_create_new_topicb () {
	echo '<div><a class="bsptopic" name="bsptopic"></a></div>' ;
	}
add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_form', 'bsp_create_new_topicb' ) ;

sorry, that’s how it works, and how all plugins that I have known use custom fields work. As far as I can see that’s how it worked under 2.5.x – no code change I can see.

I’m just a user who helps out here, so if you really feel strongly about it, I suggest you log a bug at

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

[Robin W]

or use code snippets !!

[Oleksandr]

I made a video. Maybe something we do in different ways.

[Robin W]

if you update to bbp-style-pack 4.5.9 and then

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

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

or use

Code Snippets

add_action ('bsp_form_topic_login' , 'rew_redirect' ) ;
add_action ('bsp_form_reply_login' , 'rew_redirect' ) ;

function rew_redirect () {
	if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
		echo '<ul><li><a href="http://www.mysite.com/login">Click here to log in</a></li></ul>' ;
	}
}

amending the url to what you want, and amend the text as well if you want to

just did a completely new site – no plugins except bbpress and your code, twentyseventeen theme, works fine.

when you say ‘save topic as draft’ – what exactly do you mean?

[Robin W]

GDPR does not require the user to be able to do this, merely that the site admins can do it if demanded.

I’m sure that someone could code this, but nothing I know of

[choiyugi67]

Hello,

I have 0 knowledge about making website and such… but please help!
I want to make it like this –
1. Forum name clicked
2. Goes to Single Forum Layout page with corresponding forum ID (Edited with Elementor).
3. When posted Topic is clicked, It’ll show the post, reply threads and reply form.

–

I’m using Elementor’s bbpress widget and has bbp Style Pack (My WordPress theme is twenty-ninteen).

First, I made a page with Forum Index, and created a Forum. I created a Forum from WordPress dashboard “Forum”.

Second, When I click this Title of the Forum, it takes me to a WordPress Theme without “Edit with Elementor” gives me Content missing error. I’m having a trouble with this too, it seems like I have to add: the_content (); code or <?php the_content(); ?> on somewhere in the Theme Edit on dashboard. None of the Google search matched what I see on my css and php code list.

Third, I created 3 different sub-pages to Forum Index page to put in Elementor’s Bbpress widget, changed layout to Single Forum and input ID of the forum that I found from the Dashboard’s Forum section.

Problem is here, I can’t connect when the Forum name is clicked, direct to the Single Forum page.

I noticed that Breadcrumb of the Single Forum page is Home > Forums > Forum > Videos.
“Home” is Home, I don’t have a page name “Forums”-where is this coming from?
The name of the page with Bbpress widget (Forum Index) is “Forum”.

From seeing this error, It seems like I have to edit directly onto the Dashboard’s Forums section. but with these Forum page I don’t have access to Edit with Elementor.

–

I appreciate anyone’s suggestions and help! If you need any more information or need to clarify anything, please let me know.

Thank you.

[Robin W]

the bbpress displays are built using templates.

I’d start with looking at this

bbp style pack

which will let you do many things.

to put your stats at the bottom, you’d need to look at creating a page for your forums and using

[bbp-forum-index]

then you can use gutenburg blocks or whatever editor you have to add the stats widget at the bottom

[Robin W]

ok, I don’t think it is a css problem.

cab you tell me which method you are using in no. 8 in here

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

[malinky]

Yes I did, but after running the php code snipped, the replies page is blank. Sometimes I get a Server is not available message when going to replies, but not every time.

[Robin W]

given that you don’t understand code, then the best I can offer is to remove the bbpress login from the topic and reply forms.

This can be done by installing

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form and activate item 15

[Robin W]

sorry, bbpress uses the standard wordpress login api, so it is code if you want to do something different

[Mushlih Almubarak]

Sorry, I don’t really understand code, is there another way? Or can you simplify your explanation?
Thank you very much

[Robin W]

hmm – I just added that code to my test site, and it works fine with 2.6.5

[Oleksandr]

I use the next code in functions.php

add_filter('bbp_get_topic_post_type_supports', 'register_bbpress_topic_type_supports');
function register_bbpress_topic_type_supports( $args ) {
	$args[] = 'excerpt';
	$args[] = 'thumbnail';
	$args[] = 'custom-fields';
	return $args ;
}

[Robin W]

ok I suspect you are talking about wordpress post custom fields.

if so, bbpress has never natively supported these, so I suspect you have code or an additional plugin such as acf or a bbpress plugin that is doing this.

[Robin W]

sorry neither ‘standard custom field’ or the image means anything to me – perhaps you could say whether this is code a plugin or where you are seeing this or what you are trying to do etc.

[Robin W]

ok, can you start by saying what you mean by ‘custom field’ – is this some code, a plugin or what ?

[Oleksandr]

Custom Field doesn’t work with bbpress 2.6 and above
I use custom fields for bbpress topics.
I tried to turn off all plugins and change the theme to default but always receive next javascript error in the console:

Hi
I have a transparent header built with Astra theme and Elementor page builder. I am also using BuddyPress on my site.

I would like to change all the bbpress forum pages header to a different background color, none white, so the header menu can display properly.

What css codes should i use?
Bbpre Version 2.6.5 on latest WordPress installation
Thank you

[Robin W]

so what should the url be ?

I’ll then give you some code
