that is a question – you should only have it once, either in your theme function file or in code snippets not in both !

[torimc125]

Hi Robin: Thank you again for your reply.  I copied the code you provided and pasted it into Code Snippets. Now I get this error message: 

“The snippet has been deactivated due to an error on line 3:
Cannot redeclare function to_archive_title_remove_prefix.

Any other suggestions?

Viewing a single topic
if (bbp_is_single_topic()) {...
and or

Check if current page is a bbPress topic
bbp_is_topic()

and also
Check if we are viewing a topic archive.
bbp_is_topic_archive()

and
Check if current page is a topic edit page
bbp_is_topic_edit()

[Robin W]

ok, without getting heavily involved in coding a solution for you (which is my paid day job 🙂 ) I guess that you have hooked to ‘template redirect’ which fires on everypage, so when WordPress displays the test-page it looks again for a value of topic_id, which on the test page does not exist, so returns zero.

if your code is working in that it redirects to test page, then you could try appending the topic id and picking that up in $_REQUEST

eg (untested)

wp_redirect('/test-page/?topic_id='.bbp_get_topic_id());

and then on test page use the code

if (isset($_REQUEST['topic_id'])) $topic_id = $_REQUEST('topic_id') ;

[nayanboost]

I am writing this code in functions.php and when I am trying to dump data using
print_r (bbp_get_topic_id());

It is returning 0.

When the above mentioned condition is met I will redirect to another page.

function test_rdr (){
    if (bbp_get_topic_forum_id(bbp_get_topic_id()) == ‘ID of the Parent forum’){
        wp_redirect('/test-page');
        exit;
    }
}
add_action('template_redirect', 'test_rdr')

Please help me to get over with it.

Very strange… so I tried adding the code you suggested in the css section of my word press theme, and it didn’t work.

So I made a change to the css code in SiteOrigin css and added “!important” and that worked, see code below…

blockquote p {
color: blue !important;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #e6e6e6;
background-color: #000000;
}

[Robin W]

you’ll need to give me the context – ie what are you trying to do, and what code do you have so far

[Robin W]

my firewall software doesn’t like your site

try

#bbpress-forums blockquote {
	color: blue !important;
}

[Robert]

I even installed the plugin SiteOrigin CSS to try and change the blockquote, but still no luck, see code below…

blockquote p {
color: blue;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #e6e6e6;
background-color: #000000;
}

It seems the code for the blockquote is being over ridden somewhere.

[Robin W]

bbp_get_topic_forum_id( $topic_id) ;

[nayanboost]

Could you please tell me how I can get the parent forum name/ID of current topic/any topic? I need code implementation. How to get so by code?

[Robin W]

put this in the custom css part of your theme

blockquote {
	color: blue;
}

bbpress just uses WordPress login, so you just need a plugin or code that does that for WordPress

there are several and I have not tried any, but

or if you are into coding

How to Share Logins and Users Between Multiple WordPress Sites

this is one of the good and bad things about WordPress plugins.

It is good that they warn you that plugins have not been updated for a long period.

It is bad that it puts people off using perfectly good plugins because the author has had the goodness to release for free useful code to the world, but does not have the time or wish to be involved in supporting it.

But a well written plugin rarely needs changing if it does all that is required.

And since moderation tools hooks to bbpress functions that are long standing and stable, there are no issues I know with this plugin and I suspect it will work for years to come. If it breaks though minor issues, I’d clone it and re-issue.

You can sort of consider the warning a bit like a warranty. You don’t stop using the dishwasher because the year long warranty has run out, you just accept that maybe one day in the future it will stop working. When it does, then you may need to stop using it, but you do not go back to hand washing your dishes just because the warranty has run out on the dishwasher 🙂

If moderation tools stops working, you are no worse off than now. so if you use it for a while and it makes life easier, then that is a bonus.

[Robin W]

if you are using code snippets, then JUST the code below (not the “wp-content/theme” etc – do NOT add that) , and use this code as it has the correct apostrophies in it

add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title', 'to_archive_title_remove_prefix' );
function to_archive_title_remove_prefix( $title ) {
if ( is_post_type_archive() ) {
$title = post_type_archive_title( '', false );
}
return $title;
}

[torimc125]

Thank you, Robin, for your reply. I downloaded Code Snippets and I added the above line, you provided, wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php. I changed %your-theme-name% to my theme, but I receive this fatal error.

Don’t Panic
The code snippet you are trying to save produced a fatal error on line 1:
syntax error, unexpected end of file

Was I supposed to add the below to code snippet?

add_filter( ‘get_the_archive_title’, ‘to_archive_title_remove_prefix’ );
function to_archive_title_remove_prefix( $title ) {
if ( is_post_type_archive() ) {
$title = post_type_archive_title( ”, false );
}
return $title;
}

bbpress just uses WordPress registration and login.

bbpress then just assigns the default role on first login that is set in Dashboard>settings>forum>roles if you have that ticked, or you can manually assign if you wish.

Therefore you can ignore anything bbpressy on registration and login, and just use anything that WordPress does instead.

This gives you the ability to utilise plugins such as ‘theme my login’ to give yourself a nice registration and login (there are plenty of other good login plugins, just search around).

It looks like you have already changed the default wp urls – which is great and good security practise, so suggest you just don’t use bbpress login shortcodes or widgets, and let wordpress do your registration and login.

Do come back if you need further help

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

[kriskl]

oh Robin, you are a star! 🙂

the code did wonders.

I’ll leave the dots as they make sense when going through the pages later.. so it’s consistent.

and thanks! I was so silly, not realising about editing out the code
<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘pagination’, ‘topics’ ); ?>
in templates

I thought there was some function code trick :))

I hope you have a nice weekend, thanks again!

ps. maybe you should add this filter as an option
add_filter (‘bbp_before_paginate_links_parse_args’ , ‘rew_pagintion’ ) ;

in your plugin?

it seems many users might find it useful

[Robin W]

oh, and I found a bit where we can do some string editing, so…

This code reduces the last to 1 entry, and then looks for that entry and removes it…

add_filter ('bbp_before_paginate_links_parse_args' , 'rew_pagintion' ) ;

function rew_pagintion ($args) {
	$args['end_size'] = 0 ;
return $args;
}

add_filter ('bbp_make_first_page_canonical', 'rew_take_out_last', 10 ,2) ;

function rew_take_out_last ($retval, $pagination_links) {
	$posf = strrpos ($pagination_links, '<a class="page-numbers' ) ;
	$posl = strpos ($pagination_links, '<a class="next page-numbers' ) ;
	$start = substr ($pagination_links, 0 , $posf) ;
	$end = substr ($pagination_links, $posl , strlen($pagination_links)) ;
	$links = $start.$end ;
return $links ;
}

you can get rid of the page number dots using css or some more str functions in the code above, but I’ll leave you to work that out 🙂

[Robin W]

yes, find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-forum.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

you’ll see

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop',       'topics'    ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

change that to take out the first line and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

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

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-single-forum.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

[kriskl]

yes,

I have disabled all plugins but BBpress. and changed to WordPress default theme.
with your code
this is what it looks like:

1 2 … 2,843 →
it still shows the last page: 2,843

[Robin W]

ok, so did you try MY code on another site?

[kriskl]

yhm,
I will try on another test site
maybe some plugin conflict..
here is some code above and below

//ONLY BBPress below
//create vertical list subforum layout
function custom_bbp_sub_forum_list() {
  $args['separator'] = '
';
  return $args;
}
 add_filter('bbp_after_list_forums_parse_args', 'custom_bbp_sub_forum_list' );
 

function ra_bbp_increase_pagination($args) {
    $args['end_size'] = 0;
    $args['mid_size'] = 3;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_topic_pagination', 'ra_bbp_increase_pagination' );

function rk_hot_topics() {
   $reply_count = bbp_get_topic_reply_count();
  
   if ( $reply_count > 5 )
      echo '<span class="hot">HOT</span>';
}
  
add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_title', 'rk_hot_topics' );

[Robin W]

if you change
bottom:15px;

to

bottom:1px ;

it works
