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

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>
<option value=”tall” <?php selected( $meta_element_class, ‘tall’ ); ?>>tall</option>
</select>
<?php
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

Code Snippets

//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 );

and change the old text and new text to suit.

[Robin W]

ok, let’s try adding this

add_filter( 'bbp_verify_nonce_request_url', 'my_bbp_verify_nonce_request_url', 999, 1 );
function my_bbp_verify_nonce_request_url( $requested_url )
{
    return 'http://localhost:8888' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

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 also followed this: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/installing-bbpress/deleting-bbpress/
and get the same fatal error:

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); 

[Robin W]

you’ll need to create a custom importer

Custom Import

if you do this, let us know, and we can add details to this site

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 ??

[cjerrells]

Is there a reason the fixes in the patches above haven’t been integrated into trunk?

This has been driving our users crazy and I’m surprised to find such an old thread here with an apparent solution. I made the changes and it seems fixed. Is there a hidden downside or complication that’s prevented it from becoming part of the standard codebase?

[theicebooky]

@robkk

Is it possible to hide the link? What is the code. Differently from killer_x10, I would like to hide the topic subscribtion link (I only want forum link). Is this possible to just hide it?

[theicebooky]

Never mind, I found and edit the code already… if you wanna know my code:

#bbpress-forums > #subscription-toggle{
float:right;
}

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content a.subscription-toggle,
#subscription-toggle a{
font-weight:bold;
padding: 8px 8px 4px 8px;
border: 0px solid #66FF33;
background-color: #66FF33;
color: white;
}

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content a.subscription-toggle,
#subscription-toggle a:hover{
background-color: #00FFFF;
color: white;
}

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content .is-subscribed a.subscription-toggle,
#subscription-toggle .is-subscribed a.subscription-toggle{
border: 0px solid #e6e6e6;
background-color: #e6e6e6;
padding: 2px 4px 2px 4px
}

[Mudit Kumawat]

@mjonesnerdery and @hoch to fix this issue add this function in the theme functions.php file

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

Hi,

I’ve added a blog element (pulling in topics) to my community homepage but need to display some additional stats in the feed.

I need to display the following:
1. # of views (Ive selected this in the settings, but stats are not displaying)
2. # of likes
3. # of replies

Additionally, there is an ‘0’ after the excerpt. I’ve set the excerpt length to 160 characters to pull in a large portion of the title. The ‘0’ appears where the title is less than 160 characters. Is there a CSS code I can use to hid the ‘0’?

See the page here. https://community.catalysttech.co/
Would appreciate any advice.
Thanks.

[Robin W]

can you post the code you are using

[theicebooky]

Thank you @myndphunkie for a great CSS code. Works very well!!!

[Robin W]

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

Code Snippets

or it is available as an option in

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form

[jamnet.kr]

Where can I add that code?
I mean, could you give me information about number of line in functions.php?

[theicebooky]

It did it guys with two codes :))
