It probably comes from the theme I have, it currently looks like this in loop-single-topic:

   <div class="nk-forum-title-sub">

      
        <?php
        $link_url = bbp_get_topic_last_reply_url();
        $title = bbp_get_topic_last_reply_title();
        ?>
        <div class="nk-forum-activity-title" title="<?php echo esc_attr($title); ?>">
            <a href="<?php echo esc_url($link_url); ?>"><?php echo esc_html($title); ?></a>
        </div>
        
        
         <div class="nk-forum-activity-date">
            <?php do_action('bbp_theme_before_topic_freshness_link'); ?>
            <?php $time_since = bbp_get_topic_last_active_time();
            if (!empty($time_since)) {
                echo esc_html($time_since);
            } else {
                echo esc_html__('No Replies', 'godlike');
            }
            ?>
            <?php do_action('bbp_theme_after_topic_freshness_link'); ?>
        </div>
           

            <?php do_action('bbp_theme_before_topic_started_by'); ?>

            <span

            <?php do_action('bbp_theme_after_topic_started_by'); ?>

            <?php if (!bbp_is_single_forum() || (bbp_get_topic_forum_id() !== bbp_get_forum_id())) : ?>

                <?php do_action('bbp_theme_after_topic_started_in'); ?>

easier to start again

this works

add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_form_content', 'rew_additional_field' );
function rew_additional_field($post){
	?>
	<select name="rew_additional_field" id="rew_additional_field">
		<option value="enqury">Enquiry</option>
		<option value="complaint">Complaint</option>
		<option value="feedback">Feedback</option>
	</select>
	<?php
}
 

add_action('bbp_new_reply_post_extras', 'rew_save_additional_field');

function rew_save_additional_field($reply_id){ 
    global $post;
    if(isset($_POST["rew_additional_field"])) {
        update_post_meta ($reply_id, 'rew_additional_field', $_POST["rew_additional_field"]) ;
	}
}

add_action('bbp_theme_before_reply_content', 'rew_show_additional_field');

function rew_show_additional_field () {
$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id();
  $field = get_post_meta($reply_id, 'rew_additional_field', true);
  if (!empty ($field)) {
	echo "Type: ". ucfirst($field)."<br>";  
  }
}

[Robin W]

quickest way is

add_filter(  'gettext',  'rew_bbpress_translate', 20 , 3  );

function rew_bbpress_translate( $translated, $text, $domain ) {
	if ($domain == 'bbpress') {
     $words = array(
                        
                        'Website' => 'WhatsApp no'
             );
     $translated = str_replace(  array_keys($words),  $words,  $translated );
	}

     return $translated;
}

When using this shortcode- [bbp-topic-form]

It’s working.

There are total 3 files named form-topic.php you would have to remove it from all three to remove (default forum). One is in the Bbpress plugin, other in the theme and one somewhere else (use Search function). It’s on line 128 in all three files if memory serves right.

Thank you, Robin!
I made some corrections and further checked the selection option parts accordingly. I also add a show contents part referring to a workable previous post with link.
The code can provide options for the user to selection. But the selection result could not be shown. I am not sure whether the selection result was added into metabox properly because I can not use the debug function. And another problem is that the “Field 1 ” was inserted into all previous replies.
Could you further provide help to solve this problem？

add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_form_content', 'so_additional_content' );
function so_additional_content($post){
	$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id();

1. Download the plugin from this url :

Fix forum

Then upload to your site and activate

3. Create a page called anything and put this shortcode in it
[fix-topics]
and publish

4. Go to this page and you will see a drop down, use the drop down to select ‘run’ and click submit

That should do it

[Pete]

Thanks again @robin-w. Yes, I saw that one. That does work as long as the text that’s being replaced is ‘Howdy’. but that’s language dependent. Down here, if your site is configured for Australia, it’s ‘G’day’ and in other countries I imagine it’s something different again (and that code works as long as you specify the exact string that you need to replace).

I was actually wanting to get rid of that text altogether, in a language-independent way, so I was hoping that it had a ‘name’, like ‘wp-user-greeting’ or something that you could just do a $wp_adminbar->remove_node on, but it sounds like this is not the case. Is the format of the username/avitar on the admin-bar on this site, where there’s no ‘prefix’ at all, really hard coded (rather than managed through something like a function)?

I am making progress with the code (to identify a user as anonymous before they log in) from your previous response, so thanks again for that, but I’m modifying files that are bound to be replaced with the next WordPress/bbPress update. There must surely be some ‘version independent’ way of doing this…

[Robin W]

you can only enqueue a style name once, so suggest you rename the second child one eg

wp_enqueue_style( 'child-theme-css', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/style.css' , array('parent-style'));
  wp_enqueue_style( 'child-theme-bbpress-css', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/css/bbpress.css', array());

that might be the problem, if not, it certainly isn’t helping

[Robin W]

Haven’t tested but googled and found this

add_filter( 'admin_bar_menu', 'replace_wordpress_howdy', 25 );
function replace_wordpress_howdy( $wp_admin_bar ) {
$my_account = $wp_admin_bar->get_node('my-account');
$newtext = str_replace( 'Howdy,', 'Welcome,', $my_account->title );
$wp_admin_bar->add_node( array(
'id' => 'my-account',
'title' => $newtext,
) );
}

Thanks, tried it and it is better.

Here is a test page:

https://eliteguitarist.net/forums/

I cant get the users avatar to show up bigger, and Id like to remove the “home” button, “viewing topic” text, remove the “create a new topic” button, make the box where they type in smaller and remove the section at the bottom where it says “You may use these HTML tags and attributes:”

Sorry, that`s a lot. Is this all possible using the plugin?

[Robin W]

the bbpress theme that this site uses is here

https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/bb-base

the following file holds the code

https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/bb-base/header-subnav.php

but you will also need to pull through some css from the theme, and JavaScript to do the drop downs

then tie all this back to the right place in your theme.

It’s quite doable, but well beyond free help

[failxontour]

Hey so I’m trying to enqueue custom CSS for bbPress v2.6.4 on the WP 5.4.1 clan website running a WP Twenty Twenty-child theme.

This is what my functions.php currently looks like

<?php
/**
* Child theme stylesheet einbinden in Abhängigkeit vom Original-Stylesheet
*/
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'child_theme_styles' );
function child_theme_styles() {
  wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
  wp_enqueue_style( 'child-theme-css', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/style.css' , array('parent-style'));
  wp_enqueue_style( 'child-theme-css', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/css/bbpress.css', array());
}
?>

And this is how my bbpress.css looks like.

#bbp-forum-info,
#bbp-forum-topic-count,
#bbp-forum-reply-count,
#bbp-forum-freshness {
  color: #232323;
}
#bbpress-forums {
  background: transparent;
  clear: both;
  margin-bottom: 20px;
  overflow: hidden;
  font-size: 1.75rem;
  color: #232323;
}

The changes I applied in the bbpress.css won’t update the bbpress CSS on the above mentioned site. So their must be something wrong with my functions.php but I can’t yet put my finger on it how to load it properly as I’m pretty new when it comes to WordPress. I wanna append these changes globally to all parts of bbPress forum.

Can someone tell me to if and what i need to specify inside the arrray() call for the bbpress.css to load properly? Or hint me towards what’s wrong here.

[Robin W]

meta boxes are used in the backend, but you are most of the way there.

so to add the dropdown you can use

add_action(‘bbp_theme_before_reply_content’, ‘so_additional_content’);

(there is a bbp_theme_after_reply_content action as well)

and then in the function put the drop down stuff – I’ve not checked your code, so you’ll need to tidy and correct the following if it doesn’t work

so

function so_additional_content () {
?>
<label>Choose the size of the element : </label>
<select name=”custom_element_grid_class” id=”custom_element_grid_class”>
<option value=”normal” <?php selected( $meta_element_class, ‘normal’ ); ?>>normal</option>
<option value=”square” <?php selected( $meta_element_class, ‘square’ ); ?>>square</option>
<option value=”wide” <?php selected( $meta_element_class, ‘wide’ ); ?>>wide</option>
<option value=”tall” <?php selected( $meta_element_class, ‘tall’ ); ?>>tall</option>
</select>
<?php 
}

Then when the user presses submit a function in bbpress called ‘new reply handler’ takes over.

that has a hook

do_action( ‘bbp_new_reply_post_extras’, $reply_id );

which you can link to, to do the save.

so you would have

add_action ( 'bbp_new_reply_post_extras' , 'so_save' ) ;

function so-save ($reply_id) {
$meta_element_class = $_POST[‘custom_element_grid_class’];
update_post_meta($reply_id, ‘custom_element_grid_class_meta_box’, $meta_element_class);
}

again your code is not checked.

you will need to add functionality if you want users to edit their replies and change the dropdown selection

I’ll let you play with the above, and do come back with a first version if you need extra help.

If you fix it, then PLEASE post your solution here to help others

I hope to customize bbpress reply form area with dropdown selection list. I could not find any previous post reporting similar case in bbpress. Referring to post “Save meta box data from selected dropdown list” with link I prepared similar code for the bbpress reply post condition, but failed to achieve the goal.
Please kindly provide suggestions!

` add_action( ‘bbp_theme_before_reply_form_content’, ‘so_custom_meta_box’ );
//add_action( ‘add_meta_boxes’, ‘so_custom_meta_box’ );

function so_custom_meta_box($post){
add_meta_box(‘so_meta_box’, ‘Custom Box’, ‘custom_element_grid_class_meta_box’, $post->post_type, ‘normal’ , ‘high’);
}

add_action(‘bbp_theme_before_reply_content’, ‘so_save_metabox’);

function so_save_metabox(){
global $post;
if(isset($_POST[“custom_element_grid_class”])){
//UPDATE:
$meta_element_class = $_POST[‘custom_element_grid_class’];
//END OF UPDATE

update_post_meta($reply_id, ‘custom_element_grid_class_meta_box’, $meta_element_class);
//print_r($_POST);
}
}
function custom_element_grid_class_meta_box($post){
$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id();
$meta_element_class = get_post_meta($reply_id, ‘custom_element_grid_class_meta_box’, true); //true ensures you get just one value instead of an array
?>
<label>Choose the size of the element : </label>

<select name=”custom_element_grid_class” id=”custom_element_grid_class”>
<option value=”normal” <?php selected( $meta_element_class, ‘normal’ ); ?>>normal</option>
<option value=”square” <?php selected( $meta_element_class, ‘square’ ); ?>>square</option>
<option value=”wide” <?php selected( $meta_element_class, ‘wide’ ); ?>>wide</option>

https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/ is a better way, as updates to bbpress don’t overwrite, but as long as you know that bbpress updates will need you to go back into those files.

I’ve added this reply like 3times and everytime i edit it it disappeared and when i try to re-paste it and submit i cant cuz i get a warning for duplication 😛

I’m pretty sure theirs a better way of doing it but that’s how I did since its the only way I could figure it out

Open Capabilities.php

Under “function bbp_get_caps_for_role”
Add this case along with the other cases

case bbp_get_tutor_role() :
$caps = array(

// Primary caps
‘spectate’ => true,
‘participate’ => true,

// Forum caps
‘read_private_forums’ => true,

// Topic caps
‘publish_topics’ => true,
‘edit_topics’ => true,

// Reply caps
‘publish_replies’ => true,
‘edit_replies’ => true,

// Topic tag caps
‘assign_topic_tags’ => true,
);

Under:

function bbp_get_participant_role() {

// Filter & return
return apply_filters( ‘bbp_get_participant_role’, ‘bbp_participant’ );
}

Add:

function bbp_get_tutor_role() {

// Filter & return
return apply_filters( ‘bbp_get_tutor_role’, ‘bbp_tutor’ );
}

Save and close Capabilities.php and open bbpress.php in the plugin directory not the one inside the theme.

Search for:
public function roles_init() {

You will see this code:

$keymaster = bbp_get_keymaster_role();
$moderator = bbp_get_moderator_role();
$participant = bbp_get_participant_role();
$spectator = bbp_get_spectator_role();
$blocked = bbp_get_blocked_role();

// Build the roles into one useful array
$this->roles[ $keymaster ] = new WP_Role( ‘Keymaster’, bbp_get_caps_for_role( $keymaster ) );

$this->roles[ $moderator ] = new WP_Role( ‘Moderator’, bbp_get_caps_for_role( $moderator ) );
$this->roles[ $participant ] = new WP_Role( ‘Participant’, bbp_get_caps_for_role( $participant ) );
$this->roles[ $spectator ] = new WP_Role( ‘Spectator’, bbp_get_caps_for_role( $spectator ) );
$this->roles[ $blocked ] = new WP_Role( ‘Blocked’, bbp_get_caps_for_role( $blocked ) );
}

So you just want to add these two codes in their:

$tutor = bbp_get_tutor_role();

$this->roles[ $tutor ] = new WP_Role( ‘tutor’, bbp_get_caps_for_role( $tutor ) );

If u want to rename an existing role u added or bbpress default roles u can add this into your functions.php

Add:

function ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names() {

return array(

// Keymaster

bbp_get_keymaster_role() => array(

‘name’ => ‘Administrator’,

‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() )

),

// Moderator

bbp_get_moderator_role() => array(

‘name’ => ‘Moderator’,

‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() )

),

// Participant

bbp_get_participant_role() => array(

‘name’ => ‘Member’,

‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )

),

bbp_get_tutor_role() => array(

‘name’ => ‘Member2’,

‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_tutor_role() )

),

// Spectator

bbp_get_spectator_role() => array(

‘name’ => ‘Spectator’,

‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_spectator_role() )

),

// Blocked

bbp_get_blocked_role() => array(

‘name’ => ‘Blocked’,

‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_blocked_role() )

)

);

}

I tried the following code:
remove_action( 'bbp_user_edit_after', 'extra_user_profile_fields' );
But failed!

I tried to put somewhere else:
add_action( 'bbp_user_edit_after_about', 'extra_user_profile_fields' );
So it has displayed in two places 🙂

[Mudit Kumawat]

@frendeliko Admin bars were not being shown on my website, so you gave this code without adding conditions.  Thanks for adding conditions in my code 🙂

[Carlos Faria]

Thanks @mudit-kumawat. I would add this, as admin users will still show the admin bar, so with your code we will have two divs with the same id:

// Add adminbar blank div to fix BBPRESS jQuery issue
function add_admin_bar_div() {
  if( is_bbpress() && ! current_user_can('administrator') ){
    echo '<div id="wpadminbar" style="display:none;"></div>';
  }
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'add_admin_bar_div',15);

Hello there,

I am stucked with this issue since some days : i am using the default bbpress connection widget (bpress version : 2.6.4) , but i am not satisfied by it behaviors such as redirect to wordpress admin login, the fact that the link on registration mail, bring the user again to wordpress back end, and also that email sender adress is the wordpress email (not mine !!) .. i had tried to change this last issue with this code in my functions.php :

 add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', 'your_email' );
function your_email( $original_email_address )
{
	return 'myemail@domain.com';
}

add_filter( 'wp_mail_from_name', 'custom_wp_mail_from_name' );
function custom_wp_mail_from_name( $original_email_from )
{
	return 'My Forum Name';
}

But instead i just received a “mail delivery failed”

I have tried other plugins such as “weaver” or “bbPress login register link..” but still not found the “good one” (or surely didn’t know how to optimize it)

Did someone know how to solve this problem ??
