I have a page that just shows tags https://wateratairports.com/airports-by-iata-code/, it is working great and getting bigger over 300 it could grow to 1000 which is OK on a big screen but on a mobile, not good, I would like to add a line at the top of the tags offering a shortcut ie if you want A-F click this then it will take the user to a page that shows tags stating A and ending with F.

I am sure I can create the line with links to another page, where I am having a problem is how to only return the tags between A and F.

The template I am using is

/**
* Template Name: bbPress – Topic Tags
*
* @package bbPress
* @subpackage Theme
*/

get_header(); ?>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_before_main_content’ ); ?>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_template_notices’ ); ?>

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

<div id=”bbp-topic-tags” class=”bbp-topic-tags”>
<h1 class=”entry-title”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<div class=”entry-content”>

<?php get_the_content() ? the_content() : _e( ‘<p>This is a collection of tags that are currently popular on our forums.</p>’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>

<div id=”bbpress-forums”>

<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>

<div id=”bbp-topic-hot-tags”>

<?php wp_tag_cloud( array( ‘smallest’ => 15, ‘largest’ => 15, ‘number’ => 400, ‘taxonomy’ => bbp_get_topic_tag_tax_id() ) ); ?>

</div>
</div>
</div>
</div><!– #bbp-topic-tags –>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_after_main_content’ ); ?>

Is there a way to select what tags are shown ?, I am happy to create more templates.
hope this makes snese

Hello! I am using bbpress and when I type anything in topic and try to apply formatting like bold, italic text, it show the code instead of applied formatting, suppose I applied B for bold it shows <b> Text</b> and does not make text bold , same like other command , like if I try to make text as heading3 its shows <H3> Text </H3> instead of text in Heading 3 style.
What is problem , thx in advance

Regards
Like I use b tag here and my text has bold , but in my case it show command name alognwith text instead of applying that command

Gotcha!

Well (and I’m admittedly writing this without ever having worked with GamiPress, but I did just take a quick peek at their code) it certainly seems like something you could do.

The gamipress_award_points_to_user action (a hook that your code can ‘listen’ for) would let you detect the award of points and you could then examine how many points they have etc and, based on that, take a further step such as changing their forum permissions.

Definitely seems achievable 🙂

[Robin W]

forums etc. are not for the dashboard part of the site for participants.

create a page and put this code in it

[bbp-forum-index]

Then put this page into your site menu

[Chuckie]

I suggest you install the plugin Snippets:

Code Snippets

Then you can create a snippet and put it there.

[Robin W]

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

Hi, I have the same issue… where do I add this code? Please help, I’m not a web expert 🙂

[samtime]

Hi,
Is there a shortcode to display just sticky topics?
I tried the code below, but it shows both sticky and non sticky topics.

[bsp-display-topic-index show = '5' show_stickies = 'true']

Thank you, Sam

Hello,

Easiest way would be to override the bbpress’s content-single-topic.php file and move bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'reply' ); to above bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'replies' ); within that file.

For another option, I’ve tried the below on a few different themes without any issues. You’d add the below code to your theme’s functions.php file. Best if you add to child theme so that you don’t have to re-add if you update your theme, same would apply for the first option above.

if ( !function_exists( 'oscowordpress1_move_bbpress_reply_form_filter' ) ) {
	function oscowordpress1_move_bbpress_reply_form_filter( $template , $slug , $name ) {

		if ( is_array( $template ) && in_array( 'form-reply.php', $template ) ) {
			remove_filter( 'bbp_get_template_part', 'oscowordpress1_move_bbpress_reply_form_filter', 10 );
			return array();
		}

		return $template;
	}
}

if ( !function_exists('oscowordpress1_move_bbpress_reply_form')){
	function oscowordpress1_move_bbpress_reply_form( $slug, $name ){

		if ( isset( $name ) && $name == 'replies' ) {
			bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'reply' );
			add_filter( 'bbp_get_template_part', 'oscowordpress1_move_bbpress_reply_form_filter', 10, 3 );
		}
	}
	add_action( 'get_template_part_loop', 'oscowordpress1_move_bbpress_reply_form', 10 ,2 );
}

Best of luck, and hope one of those work out for you. 🙂

I have zero knowledge of GamiPress…but let’s park that part of the question for a moment 🙂

Like WordPress itself, bbPress supplies a plethora of hooks that will let you write code that listens for various events—such a new topics being created or replies being added—at which point your code can scan for keywords and interact in various ways. I’m not sure exactly what you’re picturing, but having the bot add replies of its own or perhaps even trigger currency transfers in the context of GamiPress are all possibilities.

How easy this would be I guess really depends on what sort of tasks you want your bot to perform and what conditions you wish to be met before it performs them, but certainly bbPress/WordPress by themselves provide a nice foundation to build on top of.

[webcreations907]

The topics & replies within forums you can change in your WordPress admin area at Settings > Forums below “Topics and Replies Per Page”.

If you want to change the displayed forum amount(shortcode you mentioned), try adding the below code to your functions.php file of your WordPress theme.

if(!function_exists('poco06_bbpress_change_forum_count_display')){
	function poco06_bbpress_change_forum_count_display( $args ){
		if( is_array( $args ) && array_key_exists( 'post_type', $args ) && $args['post_type'] == 'forum'){
			$args['posts_per_page'] = 100; //Change to number of displayed you want
		}
		return $args;
	}

	add_filter( 'bbp_after_has_forums_parse_args', 'poco06_bbpress_change_forum_count_display' ,10 );
}

That should increase it to 100, change as needed. There might be a plugin for that as well that others may be able to point you to.

🙂

[webcreations907]

You could add the below CSS to get your forums off your header and make the forums fill the page width.

You’d want to add the code to style.css file, preferably in a child theme so that when you update you don’t have to re-add the code. Or if that theme has a options panel with a area to add custom CSS.

body.bbpress .content-wrapper .content-area {
    max-width: none;
    padding: 0 7px;
}

body.bbpress .content-wrapper, 
body.bbpress.no-sidebar.page .content-wrapper {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;

}

body.bbpress .site-content {
    padding: 30px 0;
}

Just thought I’d throw that out there as a option 🙂

Hello,

I’m using bbpress with the DIVI theme and got an issue : the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode returns only 50 forums end no more !
I have also tried with the Twenty Twenty theme and got the same issue.

Any idea how I could display more than 50 forums with this shortcode?

Wordpress 5.3.2 and bbpress 2.6.4
Regards
Pat

[Robin W]

ok, I’d suggest you take the breadcrumb out as well – that’s the

Home › Forums › Community

So put this in your theme’s custom css area

div.bbp-breadcrumb {
	display: none !important;
}

[Robin W]

your theme has a css rule

.content-wrapper.with-featured-image {
	margin: -4.7em 0 0 120px;
	padding: 1.3em 55px 0 1.9em;
}

Basically the ‘margin: -4.7em’ bit is causing the forum to show at a minus height, thus crashing into the header.

the forums page (https://badasscrafters.com/forums/) has the rule without-featured-image so is fine.

Do you have a ‘forums’ page – ie you have a page in your site which has the shortcode

[bbp-forum-index]

[ocglimited]

I am succesfully using bbpress, with the Avada theme. I notice that my bbpress pages have strange title (in the browser tab). FOr example:

https://telium.io/search/code/

How can I fix this?

[iamthewebb]

I’ve just been testing this on my sites and I can’t get it to fail. Are there any more details in the server error log, do you have any custom code or bbpress plugins installed?
Also does debugging show any additional info?

[Chuckie]

Would you mind showing your code and an example? Sounds great!

[Robin W]

There si a hook that you could use eg for replies there is

/** Additional Actions (Before Save) **************************************/

	do_action( 'bbp_new_reply_pre_extras', $topic_id, $forum_id );

	// Bail if errors
	if ( bbp_has_errors() ) {
		return;
	}

in includes/replies/functions.php line 354 or thereabouts depending on version

so you could have a hook to add action that checks if bbp_has_errors and if so mail the user before the function bails.

[wpweaver]

This refers to bbPress 2.6.4.

If a new user topic or reply fails bbPress moderation (either links or bad words), the end user gets no message at all. What they see is simply nothing – just the edit box again, with no indication that their post was marked as pending, and awaits moderation.

So what happens? The user reposts the same message, over and over and over. I have examples of users reposting 10 times. They eventually may ask what is going on, or go away angry.

This seems to be new behavior since 2.6, and depending on the forum admins, this behavior may seem to be mysterious. I’ve run a highly technical forum for years, and did not know about this changed behavior in 2.6 because users typically did not post with more than 2 links.

Even now knowing that, the users are still left mystified. This is very poor user interface design, and the only reasonable solution now is to essentially eliminate any moderation at all.

add_filter( 'bbp_bypass_check_for_moderation', '__return_true' );

Much much better would be to let the user know what happened. I’ve read all the code for moderation, and can’t see any filters to override to add a message for the user.

It would be wonderful to fix this issue, and issue a “Your topic/reply is awaiting moderation.”
The moderators need to get a message as well.

[Robin W]

ok, put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

Thanks, so something like this:

// Actually build all of this HTML
function build_html() {
    
    $this->sort_users();
    $data = $this->stats_builder();
    $HTMLOutput = "";
    
	if (is_user_logged_in())  {
		if ( is_bbpress() && current_user_can( 'spectate' ) ) {
			foreach( $data as $key => $html ) {
			   $HTMLOutput .= "<div class='bbpas-" . $key . "' id='bbpas-" . $key . "'>" . $html . "</div>";
			}
		}
    }
	
    return $HTMLOutput;
}

Yes?

[Robin W]

add an additional if statement

if ( is_bbpress() && ! current_user_can( 'spectate' ) )

if they can’t spectate then they are blocked

[Robin W]

since the plugin is not being maintained, suggest you just edit that file to take out the comment out !!

so change

//if (is_user_logged_in())  {

				foreach( $data as $key => $html ) {
				   $HTMLOutput .= "<div class='bbpas-" . $key . "' id='bbpas-" . $key . "'>" . $html . "</div>";
				}
            //}

to

if (is_user_logged_in())  {

				foreach( $data as $key => $html ) {
				   $HTMLOutput .= "<div class='bbpas-" . $key . "' id='bbpas-" . $key . "'>" . $html . "</div>";
				}
            }
