Hello,

New to bbPress and have been following the guides and have had a lot of success.

I do have one question that my searches have not been able to solve.

I create a page called Forums and added the short code [bbp-forum-index] and that works but it adds a subtitle bbPress Forums to the heading of the page.

How do I turn that off?

Example from page:
Forums

bbPress Forums

Seems duplicated to me.

Sorry if this has been discussed but my searches have come up empty.

you could use

wp_dequeue_script ('bbp-default') ;

to dequeue and then load you own named version

Let me first state I am doing this for security in light of all the wordpress sites being hacked. I want to change the #bbpress css ID’s to something like #forum.

I am not much of a coder so could I ask how I go about this ? or is there an easier way to go about this ?

[Chuckie]

Fixed:

input[type="text"]#bbp_topic_title,
input[type="text"]#bbp_topic_tags {
	width: 100%;
}

This way I don’t affect the checkbox type controls. Now all OK.

[Chuckie]

I checked the functions.php file, line 353:

	// Forums
	$forum_count = ! empty( $r['count_forums'] )
		? wp_count_posts( bbp_get_forum_post_type() )->publish
		: 0;

So this is a bbPress issue, part of the function bbp_get_statistics. Is there anyway for me to correct this logic without modifying the core …?

[Chuckie]

The reason for the issue is because I have this custom CSS that has a side effect on the check box:

/* Topic Title */
input#bbp_topic_title, input#bbp_topic_tags {
	width: 100%;
}

This is causing that check box to take on 100% with instead of 13px like the other check boxes. I need to find a way of being able to make my changes above without causing the side effect to the third check box.

You see, when creating a topic or reply we have a list of tags in a input box and in that context I want 100% width. But when merging topics we are using the same ID for some reason for tags check box and as a result I have a conflict.

Is there a way to resolve it? Thanks.

[Chuckie]

If you are interested, I ended up using EnlighterJS. It has a fantastic WordPress module that is compatible with bbPress and is fantastic. User support has been great via GitHub:

Enlighter – Customizable Syntax Highlighter

If you need to show code snippets in your forum then this should be the one to use – hands down.

Hi @robin-w,

//This function adds the author to the reply
function bbp_author_display () {
	if (bbp_get_reply_author_id() == bbp_get_topic_author_id() ) {
	echo '<span class="topic-author">' ;
	echo '<ul><li>' ;
	echo 'Topic Author' ; 
	echo '</li></ul></span>' ;
	}
	else return ;
	}
	
	add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'bbp_author_display') ;

This is a very good code, however, when searching, it puts it on each result. 🙁

[Robin W]

the ‘term’ code deletes orphaned and unused stuff in the database. By definition these belong to nothing, so there is no bbpress relationship (or indeed other relationship) that you can select against

[Chuckie]

Your new code is working fine for “revisions” 🙂

It turns out that in the backend after I run your code I am left with two revisions. Both of which are forum posts 🙂 Cool .. well done.

Maybe we can do the same for the terms (tags)?

Hi @robin-w

Thanks for the revised code which I have yet to try.

There are two aspects in general to consider with respects to the plugin:

1. The actual sweeping (which you have been looking at)
2. The actual stats provided on the plugin page.

Both ideally need to be addressed. For example, you mention about the tags, but in his backend they are referred to as terms:

View post on imgur.com

I think terms are unused_terms in the function you referred to. But as mentioned, for this sweeping change to make sense the stats also need revising so they are not included in the counts or detail lists.

[Robin W]

I can’t see an option for tags in the code

[Robin W]

Actually, this is the (I hope) correct code for revisions

foreach ( $query as $id ) {
$post_parent_id = wp_get_post_parent_id ($id) ;
$type = get_post_type ($post_parent_id) ;
if ($type != 'topic' && $type != 'reply' ) 
wp_delete_post_revision( (int) $id );
}

[Robin W]

if you go into the plugin and find

wp-sweep.php

find line 557 which says

foreach ( $query as $id ) {
												wp_delete_post_revision( (int) $id );
}

and amend to

foreach ( $query as $id ) {
$post_parent_id = wp_get_post_parent_id ($id) ;
$type = get_post_type ($post_parent_id) ;
if ($type != 'topic' && $type != 'reply' ) 
wp_delete_post_revision( (int) $id );
}

that should do it

I have had TinyMCE working, but something seems to have broken it. Unfortunately I don’t know after which update to which plugin this began. Neither the code by AnnieBVT nor the bbp style pack plugin helps.

Pointers to what to try next appreciated.

[Chuckie]

I was running a Query Monitor on my site and noted the following:

Undefined index: latest-user

wp-content/plugins/bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online/includes/public/class.online.php:229
bbPress_Advanced_Statistics_Online->allowed_tags()

So I had a look at the core file at that line and found:

        private function allowed_tags() {
            // Store all of the strings currently replace
            $this->_tags = array(   
                        "%MINS%"                => $this->parent->option['user_inactivity_time'],
                        "%COUNT_ACTIVE_USERS%"  => $this->stats["count"]["active"],
                        "%HOURS%"               => $this->parent->option['user_activity_time'],
                        "%COUNT_ALL_USERS%"     => $this->stats["count"]["inactive"] - $this->stats["count"]["guests"],
                        "%COUNT_ALL_GUSERS%"    => $this->stats["count"]["guests"],
                        "%COUNT_ACTIVE_GUSERS%" => $this->stats["count"]["guestsa"],
                        "%USER_USERS%"          => _n("user", "users", $this->stats["count"]["active"], 'bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online'),
                        "%GUEST_GUESTS%"        => _n("guest", "guests", $this->stats["count"]["guestsa"], 'bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online'),
                        "%ALL_USER_USERS%"      => _n("user", "users", $this->stats["count"]["inactive"] - $this->stats["count"]["guests"], 'bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online'),
                        "%ALL_GUEST_GUESTS%"    => _n("guest", "guests", $this->stats["count"]["guests"], 'bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online'),
                        "%USER_RECORD%"         => $this->most_users( "record" ),
                        "%USER_RECORD_DATE%"    => $this->most_users( "date" ),
                        "%USER_RECORD_TIME%"    => $this->most_users( "time" ),
                        "%LATEST_USER%"         => $this->stats["latest-user"]
                    );

The offender is:

"%LATEST_USER%" => $this->stats["latest-user"]

So I tried to find where latest-user is also used and only found one place in all the files, here:

        private function stats_extra( $activity ) {
            
            if( $this->parent->option["bbpress_statistics"] == "on" ) {
                // Add the bbPress Statistics
                $activity["bbpress"] = $this->get_formatted_statistics();
            }
            
            if( $this->parent->option["last_user"] == "on" ) {
                // Get the HTML latest usser
                $activity["latest-user"] = $this->get_latestuser( true );
            }
            
            if( $this->parent->option["most_users_online"] == "on" ) {
                // Get/set the most users ever online, users the active online users
                $activity["most-users"] = $this->get_mostusers( $activity["count"]["active"] );
            }
            
            return $activity;
        }

This led me to:

            // Create the statistics variable
            $this->stats = $this->stats_extra( $activity );

So this warning looks like a false positive to me. Thoughts?

For the part of my website containing bbPress, I don’t want the main navigation menu to show. To achieve this, I enter CSS code on the main web page where [bbp-forum-index] is displayed.

The CSS code does its job as far as the first page is concerned – that is the page where the forums are listed.

However, if you select a specific forum to look at, this takes you to a new page. Unfortunately, on the new page, the main navigation menu is showing. So the CSS code has not done its job here.

Any advice on how to solve this problem would be much appreciated!

[Robin W]

you have in-line css code that says

.bbp-forums {
 display:none
}

which means they don’t display, but the forum is there on the page.

I cannot see what is setting that, and in-line code cannot be overridden.

It may be your theme, or another plugin, so a setting you have in your theme or another plugin.

Have you added any plugins lately, or updated theme or plugins ?

[Chuckie]

If you know how to do the code in php you might be able to build a URL that effectively jumps to that reply in the topic (just like you can see on the standard forum pages).

[thevisas]

Hi,
Nothing is displayed in a page when using bbp-forum-index shortcode.
Tried saving permanent links, but the issue is still present.
The same happens when creating new page with bbp-forum-index shortcode.
Not sure when the issue started, but probably since 2.6 update.
Current bbpress version is 2.6.5.
The URL is https://www.thevisasofoz.com/australia-migration-forum/

[Sadegh Hosseini]

Hi,
there is a shortcode to display a single topic:
[bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id]
and there is a function to find last reply of the topic:
<?php bbp_last_topic_reply_permalink ?>
Now I want to create a shortcode to show the last reply of the topic.
for example:
[bbp-single-topic-last id=$topic_id]
Please tell me how can I do this.
Thanks

[Tessa Watkins]

I keep coming back to this in my search to find a shortcode to display the same content (like the avatar, profile link, etc.) as the widget titled (bbPress) Login Widget.

Unfortunately, none of these account-related shortcodes from https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

[bbp-login] – Display the login screen.
[bbp-register] – Display the register screen.
[bbp-lost-pass] – Display the lost password screen.

show the same content as the widget, especially for a logged in user. There doesn’t seem to be a shortcode, so instead, I’m using this successfully.

if (class_exists('BBP_Login_Widget')) {
    the_widget('BBP_Login_Widget');
}

I’m redesigning my site, and for some reason, the child (sub) forums are not showing on the Forum Index under their parents. This happened on my first development site and after trying different things, I uninstalled bbPress and reinstalled it. They appeared. Now, when I moved my redesigned theme (which does have some template overrides) to a new dev site setup, once again my child forums are missing. However, uninstalling and reinstalling bbPress didn’t fix it this time.

I looked at the source code of the forum index and there is absolutely nothing there (no child forums).

Any ideas why they are not showing up again?

NOTE: I’m on WordPress 5.4.2, PHP 7.2. I switched to the twenty twenty theme, and the same thing happens…no child forums show under the parents. I also cannot give a link because my redesign is done locally on XAMPP.

[Robin W]

always a toss up – I can add endless options to my plugins or take judgements on what people want.

<span class=”bsp-la-text”>in </span> lets people translating change what they want. If I take then space out, then that is always there.

you can use

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'old text' ) {
	$translated_text = 'new text';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

to put in a : if you want it
