Please ignore.

I simply use:

/* Widen the search form */
#bbp-search-form > div:first-of-type { display: flex; }
#bbp-search-form #bbp_search { flex: 1; margin-right: 5px; }
#bbp-search-form #bbp_search_submit { margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; }

[Chuckie]

I have this custom code to display a form on the stated pages:

// ==============================================================
//display bbPress search form above single topics and forums
function rk_bbp_search_form(){

if ( bbp_allow_search()) {
?>
<form role=”search” method=”get” id=”bbp-search-form” action=”https://www.publictalksoftware.co.uk/support-forums/search/”&gt;
<div class=”trucklesoft-bbp-searchrow”>
<label class=”screen-reader-text hidden” for=”bbp_search”>Search for:</label>
<input type=”hidden” name=”action” value=”bbp-search-request”>
<input tabindex=”101″ type=”text” value=”” name=”bbp_search” id=”bbp_search”>
<input tabindex=”102″ class=”button” type=”submit” id=”bbp_search_submit” value=”Search”>
</div>

<div class=”gdpos-power-link”>
Advanced Search
</div>
</form> <?php
}
}

add_action( ‘bbp_template_before_single_forum’, ‘rk_bbp_search_form’ );
add_action( ‘bbp_template_before_single_topic’, ‘rk_bbp_search_form’ );
// ==============================================================

Can I also use this code to replace the form that is displayed at the top of the forums page too?

This is because I have introduced my own class which I now need also on the main forum page form:

https://www.publictalksoftware.co.uk/support-forums/

General Information

You will see they look different.

Is there just another action I need to add here?

Thanks.

There is a short tutorial in the knowledge base with code example. If you need more help, just open a new topic in the official support forum, and I will help you there.

[Robin W]

you can use these shortcodes in a page

[bbp-topic-form] – Display the ‘New Topic’ form where you can choose from a drop down menu the forum that this topic is to be associated with.
[bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id] – Display the ‘New Topic Form’ for a specific forum ID.

[Milan Petrovic]

1. There is the only a widget. But, there is some plugin that can turn widget content into the shortcode, you should check that. I might add shortcodes in the future.
2. No, the widgets don’t use AJAX to refresh content. I don’t see any benefit in that really, because users rarely sit on one forum page for a long time to even notice changes in such a widget. If the forum content is loaded fully using AJAX, that would be a different case, but bbPress doesn’t support something like that right now.

[robertherold]

These sound very good. 🙂

But I still have questions:
Is there a shortcode for the content of the Online users tracking widget?
Does this content refresh without reloading the page, for example every minute?

[huronsen]

Hy there
I have couple issues with the plugin.
I created a Site and displayed the forum index on it, that’s finde.
But when i click on a forum its loading a new site, how can i style this site?

I’m working with elemntor, so i put the shortcode into a section, which gives me the box-layout i want. But because i don’t know how to style the following page, it stretches over the whole screen.

Do you guys have an idea or even worked with the plugin and elementor?

Thank you
Johny

[Chuckie]

It is possible:

Register

I use Advanced noCaptcha & invisible Captcha (v2 & v3). See:

View post on imgur.com

I should also point out that I use “Theme My Login” plugin and use my own actual page, which has this shortcode on it:

[theme-my-login action="register"]

I have found this to be the best solution. The above and the “WP security Questions” when I can ask additional question and check their reply.

[Chuckie]

So the warning raised was:

> Undefined index: latest-user

The code flagged was:

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

I did a bit more research and stumbled upon:

`
if( $this->parent->option[‘last_user’] === “on” ) {
$HTMLOutput[“last_user”] = $this->section_latestuser();
}
`

At first I thought that latest-user needed to be changed to last_user, or vice-versa. But I continued the research of the code and arrived here:

`
array(
‘id’ => ‘last_user’,
‘label’ => __( ‘Latest Registered user’, ‘bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online’ ),
‘description’ => __( ‘Display the latest user to register to the site?’, ‘bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online’ ),
‘type’ => ‘checkbox’,
‘default’ => $this->defaults[‘last_user’],
‘class’ => ”
),
`

I decided to have a look at my bbPress Advanced Statistics settings and this was actually unset. I have now switched it on:

View post on imgur.com

Now the warning does not display. Also, it then occured to me that the code has this line:

$this->stats = $this->stats_extra( $activity );

That function does this:

`
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;
}
`

Therein is the problem. This function is conditionally populating the stats array based on user options. Makes sense, but, this function, makes assumptions:

`
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”]
);

// Apply any filters that may have been applied to the list of existing tags
if( has_filter(‘bbpas_replacement_tags’) ) {
$this->_tags = apply_filters( ‘bbpas_replacement_tags’, $this->_tags );
}
}
`

I will be upfront here – I don’t know how to adjust the code so that it will not raise a warning when the Last Registered User setting it not checked. As a result I switched it on.

I just thought i would throw my findings out here as someone might be able to provide the tweak to make it correct.

have a good day!

[Robin W]

not quite sure why you theme is displaying that.

try this in then custom css part of your theme

.bbpress h5.description {
	display: none;
}

but check that it does not hide things elsewhere in bbpress

[infernoprime]

Could you suggest a place for a non coder to learn how to use another css file and change the id ?

[robertherold]

I did not do anything! 🙂

But I was able to solve it with css:

.bbp-search-results .bbp-topic-author span.topic-author,
.bbp-search-results .topic-author span.topic-author {
	display: inline-block;
}

.bbp-search-results span.topic-author {
	display: none;
}

I hide span.topic-authors from the search results page and left only within .bbp-topic-author and within .topic-author.

[Chuckie]

I noticed that when you edit a reply that the “Reply To” combo appears squashed:

View post on imgur.com

So I added CSS to widen the select control and then was confused by the values in the drop-down list being truncated. I decided to examine the HTML (without making any CSS changes) and this is what I get:

`
<select name=”bbp_reply_to” id=”bbp_reply_to” class=”bbp_dropdown”>
<option value=”” class=”level-0″>3189 – Introduction to the Text and Visual Editors</option>
<option class=”level-1″ value=”3226″ disabled=”disabled”>   3226 – Update The</option>
</select>
`
The first entry is complete (although not all visible in the actual control). But the rest are all cropped to just a few letters. If I try other forum replies they are all the same.

Here is another example:

`
<select name=”bbp_reply_to” id=”bbp_reply_to” class=”bbp_dropdown”>

Why is it restricting the data displayed to just a few letters? I tried to research a reason and couldn’t find one.

Hi,

I want to insert a form (with three questions, for example ‘How much free time do you have? How do you spend your free time? What games do you like?’) on one page of my website and have a plugin to create one page linking the let say 20 most recent answers, so that visitors can read the most recent answers given by every other visitor.

Do you have any suggestion on how to do it or plugins to suggest?

I tried with BBpress shortcodes, but for there are no shortcodes allowing to collect at once and publish answers to different questions. A solution could be to post all the questions together as the first post of a new topic, and ask visitors to annswer, but there is no a short code such as [bbp-reply-form id=223] allowing visitors to post replies to this, without them needing to see or visit the forum (see discussion at https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/using-shortcode-bbp-reply-form-to-specific-topic/)

My website https://www.orientamento.it/, I am using Twenty seventeen and BBpress 2.6.5.

Thanks in advance for your help

[mdavidson1965]

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.

[Robin W]

you could use

wp_dequeue_script ('bbp-default') ;

to dequeue and then load you own named version

[infernoprime]

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.

[robertherold]

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)?

Andrew

[Chuckie]

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.
