find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php

FTP transfer this to your pc and edit

find starting from line 254

<?php if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'user-login' ); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

and delete these lines

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/form-topic.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

So the issue with topic going into pending, is that the topic or reply most likely has invalid formatted code. Example: User type is a URL and hit submit, it is gone. Well, no, it is pending. because https://domain.com/something is not allowed. And the app does tell the user of the error.

[canvasstudio]

So maybe long in coming, but just started working on a new bbpress BuddyPress forum.

Basically if a topic contains an invalid code such as a url (not and image url link), once submit it goes into draft mode. There maybe other reasons, but invalid code in topic is one.

I am currently working on a fix, short of making the tag available global. Biggest issue is link spamming.

[Robin W]

can you try this in your child theme function file or snippets

function rew_get_topic_split_link( $retval, $r, $args ) {

		// Parse arguments against default values
		$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'id'          => 0,
			'link_before' => '',
			'link_after'  => '',
			'split_text'  => esc_html__( 'Split',                           'bbpress' ),
			'split_title' => esc_attr__( 'Split the topic from this reply', 'bbpress' )
		), 'get_topic_split_link' );

		// Get IDs
		$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $r['id'] );
		$topic_id = bbp_get_reply_topic_id( $reply_id );

		// Bail if no reply/topic ID, or user cannot moderate
		if ( empty( $reply_id ) || empty( $topic_id ) || ! current_user_can( 'moderate', $topic_id ) ) {
			return;
		}

		$uri = add_query_arg( array(
			'action'   => 'bbp-split-topic',
			'reply_id' => $reply_id
		), bbp_get_topic_edit_url( $topic_id ) );

		$retval = $r['link_before'] . '<a href="' . esc_url( $uri ) . '" title="' . $r['split_title'] . '" class="bbp-topic-split-link">' . $r['split_text'] . '</a>' . $r['link_after'];

		// Filter & return
		return apply_filters( 'rew_get_topic_split_link', $retval, $r, $args );
	}

add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_split_link', 'rew_get_topic_split_link' , 10 , 3) ;

function rew_is_topic_split() {

	// Assume false
	$retval = false;

	// Check topic edit and GET params
	if ( bbp_is_topic_edit() && ! empty( $_GET['action'] ) && ( 'bbp-split-topic' === $_GET['action'] ) ) {
		$retval = true;
	}

	// Filter & return
	return (bool) apply_filters( 'rew_is_topic_split', $retval );
}

add_filter ('bbp_is_topic_split' , 'rew_is_topic_split' ) ;

I had this reply @robin-w:

I’d suggest filing a bug report with bbPress.

The issue is that TML registers ‘action’ as a public query variable with WP. WP has a check in WP::parse_request(), which ensures that all GET and POST values of public query variables match. If they don’t, it dies with the error message you are seeing.

For whatever reason, bbPress uses a different action key depending on GET/POST context. In this specific instance, the GET value of ‘action’ is ‘split’. However, the POST value (set via hidden field in the form) is ‘bbp-split-topic’. This difference is causing the condition described above.

In code:

$_GET['action'] = 'split';
$_POST['action'] = 'bbp-split-topic';

if ( isset( $_GET[ 'action' ] ) && isset( $_POST[ 'action' ] ) && $_GET[ 'action' ] !== $_POST[ 'action ] ) {
	wp_die( __( 'A variable mismatch has been detected.' ), __( 'Sorry, you are not allowed to view this item.' ), 400 ); }

[Robin W]

ok, I’d do this

go back to

When I do a static page and add the bbCode shortcode [bbp-forum-index] it works fine and as expected.

and use developer told to scrape the code from the presented page.

then you should be able to construct the page without using shortcodes

too much work for me to really help further for free – sorry

Here’s the whole template right now:

    <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

    <?php endwhile; ?>
<?php 
    }

[joerga]

Unfortunately this doesn’t work. The function gets then confused with the open and closing tags of the shortcod and echos some of them so the overall layout is broken.

Any other ideas how to fix this or achieve on another way?

Here you can see the problem: https://prime-surfing.de/prime-surfing-forum/forum/prime-surfing/

Edit: I added a second section below this one with this code:

echo do_shortcode('[tdc_zone type="tdc_content"][vc_row full_width="stretch_row_1400 td-stretch-content"][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/3"][td_block_list_menu menu_id="14949"][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width="2/3"][vc_column_text]bbPress FORUM SHOULD BE HERE![/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][/tdc_zone]');

This works fine so this tells me that the do_shortcode function interprets all the shortcodes right but something in the injsection of bbPress is not working along with the way I am trying to solve this.

[thetoolman123]

Hi,

Many thanks for the code, that worked perfectly 😀

[webcreations907]

Try adding the below to your theme’s functions.php file.

function quick_target_blank_link_content($content){
	$content = str_replace('<a', '<a target="_blank"',$content);
	return $content;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'quick_target_blank_link_content', 60 );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'quick_target_blank_link_content', 60 );

[thetoolman123]

Thanks. but I want to add it to the code so every link opens in a new window, even if other users post and don’t use <a href… tags

[Robin W]

as a quick guess, I suspect you are trying multiple shortcodes

so

<?php echo do_shortcode('[tdc_zone type="tdc_content"][vc_row full_width="stretch_row_1400 td-stretch-content"][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/3"][td_block_list_menu menu_id="14949"][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width="2/3"][vc_column_text]

might need to be

<?php echo do_shortcode('[tdc_zone type="tdc_content"]') ;
<?php echo do_shortcode('[vc_row full_width="stretch_row_1400 td-stretch-content"]') ;
etc.

Hey everyone,

I am currently setting up a new bbPress Forum and I made a custom template page which works fine but I can’t figure out why the forum injects in the wrong place (or if it works like this at all).

I have the tagdiv Newspaper Theme installed and I usually layout my pages with the tagdiv composer.
For the custom page template I took the code from the page.php from the tagdiv Composer directory adjusted it for my needs and then saved it to plugin-bbpress.php inside the Template root directory.

I also created a page with tagdiv Composer with a layout with three columns, bbPress is supposed to be in the middle one. When I do a static page and add the bbCode shortcode [bbp-forum-index] it works fine and as expected. I have three colums with different content to the left and right and the bbPress forum in the middle.

What I tried now is to use the same shortcodes from the tagdiv composer to create a custom template for the whole bbPress forum (in. So my code in the plugin-bbpress.php file looks like this:


if (have_posts()) { ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<div class="td-main-content-wrap td-main-page-wrap td-container-wrap">
<div class="<?php if (!td_util::tdc_is_installed()) { echo 'td-container '; } ?>tdc-content-wrap">
<?php echo do_shortcode('[tdc_zone type="tdc_content"][vc_row full_width="stretch_row_1400 td-stretch-content"][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/3"][td_block_list_menu menu_id="14949"][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width="2/3"][vc_column_text]

'.the_content().'

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][/tdc_zone]'); ?>
</div>

</div> <!-- /.td-main-content-wrap -->

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php
}


On the frontend the shortcodes are renderd fine by the tagdiv Composer but bbPress injects over or before the columns and not in the middle one as I want it to (and where the the_content() function should place it).

Any ideas how I can get this to work or any other ideas how to achieve this?

Thanks!

Newspaper Version 10.1
bbPress Version 2.6.4

Here’s the link to the static page: https://prime-surfing.de/profile-copy/
And here’s one with the custom page template: https://prime-surfing.de/prime-surfing-forum/forum/prime-surfing/

P.S.: Please don’t mind the mess with the other pages, still under consutruction.

[Milan Petrovic]

My GD bbPress Toolbox Pro plugin implements a shortcode for syntax highlighting in the forum topics and replies: https://support.dev4press.com/kb/article/bbcodes-source-code-scode/.

[ibexy]

Is there any code highlighter that works from the front end on forums (bbpress). I have installed a couple but they only work for the admin from within “Posts”. I cannot access the same functionality form creating forum posts or replying to forum post from the front end.

[Jay Holtslander]

If you arrived here from a search for “bbpress breadcrumbs missing” like I did…

turn off Yoast’s breadcrumbs at:
/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpseo_titles#top#breadcrumbs

[webcreations907]

Maybe you don’t have those selectors / class names on your theme? Not sure what theme you’re using, but when I test on this forum, in Chrome & Safari adding the above fixes the overflow issue, Firefox didn’t seem to have a issue.

Try the below, you might have to refresh your browser so it loads the changes.

.bbp-reply-content a, 
.bbp-topic-content a{
	word-wrap: break-word;
	word-break: break-word;
}

[smhlew]

same question. Can we put in a standard bold, italic underline toolset, and not shot enduser code at all?

[Robin W]

Shortcodes

[fimir]

Neither one of the 2 things. Without plugins forum page is empty. More I’ve tried to add an image with this bbp code into same the page, the page is blank.

[thetoolman123]

Hi there,

Is there a shortcode that displays a list with links to all forums?

Also, is there a shortcode that will display the number of threads? I’m wanting to create a list of links to my forums and also display the number of threads/posts next to each link.

Thanks!

[fimir]

In my site only [bbp-topic-index] code not working, register and login code work in the pages.
I use Generatepress theme if this could be the problem. It is someone to help me, please?

Thank you

So I just Installed bbPress for my first time because I want to create my little forum.

I’ve been using wordpress for a while and I’m in love with it.

Now bbpress, for what I see comes default or similar to the Theme from what I read.

this is currently how it looks The picture of my forum site

So my questions is there any good plugins out there to really design the buttons like the search button or the log out and the bbPress forum itself?
Or I mustly need to do this manually by editing code and css?

I’m really noob, I learend a little bit html,css but no more then that, any help will be very respected <3

[Robin W]

so what shortcodes has it got ?

[Robin W]

is this an actual WordPress page with shortcodes in it?
