#bbpress-forums is the ID for forums – suggest you ask here on how to hide breadcrumb

Hello,
I would like to select with CSS selector for BBpress forum pages to hide Breadcrumb NavXT.
Is there a CSS code ?
THanks for your help.

Hi I have embedded a forum into a WP page with the shortcode.

Displaying and browsing the forum works as it should but when I clik on the “subscribe” button, the page reloads and I’m not subscribe for alerts on that forum.

Seems to be doing that only when I embed the forum in another page.

If I go directly to the forum, then the button works.
Looks like something with the “rewrite” string or something like that.

Any clue how I could fix that ?

[Robin W]

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_filter('bbp_has_replies_query', 'rew_modify_replies_query');

function rew_modify_replies_query($bbp_r) {
$bbp_r['order'] = 'DESC';
return $bbp_r;
}

add_filter('bbp_show_lead_topic', 'rew_show_lead_topic');

function rew_show_lead_topic () {
	return true ;
}

I have to sort topics and replies in bbpress forum changing code how can I do it?

[franckc2]

Hi I think i have the exact same problem.

What I notice is when a forum is embedded in another page throught either a URL or SHORTCODE.
The subscribe button simply does not work.

When I got directly at the forum, the button works.

Is it the same for you ?

[Chuckie]

Thanks. I tend to stick with the visual TinyMCE editor rather than the text editor because toggling the editors messes up my code example snippets.

This worked for me:

@2cats, just out of curiosity is it the mechanics of putting in the patch that you’re uncomfortable with. Or it it the fact that you (or your clients) would then have to deal with the patched code when updates happen.

Also I’m assuming that you’re aware of the plug-in mentioned above that fixes some of the current bbPress bugs.

Clearly the bbPress developers (who donate their time) can only do so much. But I too am curious how the priorities are set. BuddyPress recently ran a survey asking users about their priorities. I wonder if there is something like this in the works for bbPress. Sometimes I also wonder about the feasibility of a group of users with specific needs *hiring* a bbPress developer to make certain fixes and integrate them into the build. But these are just random thoughts of someone who doesn’t really know much about how these things work.

[Robin W]

topics can be ‘sticky’ or ‘super-sticky’

sticky posts go at the top of their forum
Super sticky posts go at the top of every forum

sounds like your topics are becoming super sticky

you can look at these in then backend

dashboard>topics>edit topics and select topic > topic attributes on top right hand side> Type

they can also be set in front end

where in the topic they show in admin as

stick (to front)

if you click the ‘stick’ then it is sticky, if you click the ‘(to front)’ it becomes super-sticky which is very easy to do by mistake.

on relationships, bbpress uses wordpress ‘post-parent’

so a reply has a post parent of the topic it belongs to
a topic has a post parent of the forum it belongs to
and a forum has a post parent of a forum if it is a sub forum, or a category if it belongs to a category

These relationships are also stored in the post_meta table

details on ‘children’ are not kept – for instance displaying topics is done by a function called bbp_has_topics which selects topics where the post_parent is the forum concerned. bbp_has_relies has a similar serach for replies where the post_parent is the topic concerned.

[Mike Witt]

I’m not exactly sure how to describe this problem. But I’ve seen this happen twice now. The situation is that there are several forums, and each one has a “sticky” post at the top, describing the guidelines for the particular forum.

At some point, the post at the top of one forum is duplicated on all the forums. So forums B, C, D, … all have the “forum A Guideline” post at the top of them (in addition to their own guideline post).

I’m not very good with images, but I hope this kind of shows what’s happening:

https://num9.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/foo.jpeg

FWIW, when I look in the database. The post in question shows its parent as the proper forum.

On a related note, I’d love to know how bbPress figures out the relationship between forums, topics, and posts. I see that each element has a pointer to its parent. But I haven’t been able to figure out where the pointers to a forum or post’s children are.

The only documentation I was able to find on the database is:

Stored Database Data

Could somebody point me to further documentation? Or let me know if I just need to read the code (specific pointers would be appreciated).

[Mike Witt]

I edited the php file indicated in the trac ticket. On my setup this is:

public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/functions.php

This is a very simple change to one line, but it does require editing the bbPress code, and (AFAIK) can’t be done in a child theme. So you would have to keep this in mind every time you update bbPress.

If you’re not familiar with doing this type of thing, then you probably want to either:

(1) Consider using by bbp-style-pack by @robin-w, which I *believe* fixes this. Robin can answer questions about that.

(2) Just wait for the bug to get fixed. I don’t really know how the priorities for bugs are set, but my impression is that this one could take a while. I might be wrong.

[tenebralyo]

This is a possible fix for this:

add_filter(
‘elementor_pro/utils/get_public_post_types’,
function($post_types) {
$post_types[‘forum’] = ‘Forum’;
$post_types[‘topic’] = ‘Topic’;
$post_types[‘reply’] = ‘Reply’;

return $post_types;
}
);

Sadly this could not be the perfect solution, specially if you are using bbpress without buddypress, it seems that you could get 404 pages on user profiles.

Right now I’m trying to use a combination of bbpress + buddypress, and for me the user profile (buddypress) is working fine.

[Robin W]

create a page and call it the same as your forum slug (usually forums)

then in that page put the message you want followed by

[bbp-forum-index]

(If you are using Gutenberg, then as this as a shortcode block)

this will then be your forums page

[Oleksandr]

In any case thanks for your time!
Hope developers will fix this bug soon.

Currently, this bug can be fixed using the code below.
Also, Replies box should be moved below Custom Fields

/* Fix BBpress 2.6 bug with Custom Fields */
if( function_exists( 'bbp_get_version' ) && version_compare( bbp_get_version(), '2.5' ) > 0 ) {
	add_action( 'wp_ajax_add-reply', 'wp_ajax_add_fix_bbpress_26');
	function wp_ajax_add_fix_bbpress_26() {
		// print_error_log( $_POST );
	//	$_POST['action'] = 'add-meta';
		wp_ajax_add_meta();
	}

	add_action( 'wp_ajax_delete-reply', 'wp_ajax_delete_fix_bbpress_26');
	function wp_ajax_delete_fix_bbpress_26() {
		// print_error_log( $_POST );
		wp_ajax_delete_meta();
	}

	add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'bbpress_26_fix_add_meta_boxes', 25 );
	function bbpress_26_fix_add_meta_boxes() {
		do_action( 'bbp_topic_attributes_metabox' );
	}
}

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;
}

[Chuckie]

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' ) ;

[Robin W]

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.

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?
