@casiepa

you need to change this in your toolkit plugin includes/go-functions.php

lines 55 & 56

from

function bbptoolkit_bbpress_list_forums() {
	$args = array();

to

function bbptoolkit_bbpress_list_forums($args) {

This brings through default values, otherwise under 2.6 sub forums don’t get shown.

Thanks to all:
I changed these senctence directly in feedback-no-forum.php and put it in my child theme.
I tried this before, but did not know that this sentence has a problem with german special characters. There is an ü in this sentence and it works only if I write it in html
ü code

<div class="bbp-template-notice">
	<ul>
		<li><strong><?php esc_html_e( 'Dieses Forum ist nur f&uuml;r Dauerbenutzer!', 'bbpress' ); ?></strong></li>
	</ul>
</div>

Thanks all for your suggestions
Matthias

@haddly do you have

function custom_bbp_sub_forum_list($args)

or as you pasted

function custom_bbp_sub_forum_list() {

[Robin W]

change that to

function custom_bbp_sub_forum_list($args) {
$args['separator'] = '';
return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_after_list_forums_parse_args', 'custom_bbp_sub_forum_list' );

and it should be fine

@robin-w
Hi there. I have finally found why this is not displaying. It isn’t the plugins 1 or 2 above but a snippet of code I added to my functions.php file a long while back. I remember adding it because the subforum topics weren’t displaying correctly and were displaying in a horizontal fashion (I think).

If I remove this piece of code, the subforum topics now appear. The CSS is a little funky and the text a little small, but I can fix this. Sorry for not thinking to check the added snippets to my functions.php sooner.

function custom_bbp_sub_forum_list() {
$args['separator'] = '';
return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_after_list_forums_parse_args', 'custom_bbp_sub_forum_list' );

Hi, One of my users discovered that they can post potentially malicious HTML into the bbPress reply box.

I once added the code below to my functions.php file, because users were not able to use Left-align, Centre, and Right-align for text, but I fear maybe it’s now given too many HTML permissions.

Could anyone please look at this code and let me know if something needs to be changed (maybe some trues switched to falses)?

Thank you so much, Sam

Unfortunately, this code didn’t work — it removed the content of all forum posts!

[Robin W]

should be

.bbp-login-form {
	background: white !important;
	padding: 10px !important;
}

When I try to access mysite.com/forums it does not work with my theme so I copied archive-forum.php to my child theme.

The default archive-forum.php template allows the bbpress content to appear, but not the theme header, so I stripped away the bbpress header items and replaced ‘archive-forum’ with ‘page’ like so:

<?php
get_header(); ?>
    <div id="forum-front" class="bbp-forum-front">
        <div class="entry-content">
            <?php bbp_get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>
        </div>
    </div><!-- #forum-front -->
    <?php do_action( 'bbp_after_main_content' ); ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php
get_footer();

This makes the theme header work, but now the bbpress content is broken.
I am getting the following error:
Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in public_html/wp-includes/post-template.php on line 316

The line in question is:

if ( $elements['page'] > count( $elements['pages'] ) ) { // if the requested page doesn't exist
		$elements['page'] = count( $elements['pages'] ); // give them the highest numbered page that DOES exist
	}

From what I understand /forums is not a page that ‘exists’, but I’ not comfortable modifying WP core. Any help would be appreciated…

Hi Clive, gyus from Divi helped me out to sort it:

add the following CSS code to Custom CSS box in Divi > theme options > general settings:

@media(max-width:980px) {
div#bbpress-forums {
overflow: visible !important;
}
}

Maybe it will help you too.

If you are using SEO Yoast Plugin you can do the following to your functions.php to update the robots meta tags.

function noindex_profile($html) {
  	if (bbp_is_single_user()){
	  	$html = "noindex,nofollow";
	} 
	  return $html;
}
add_action( 'wpseo_robots', 'noindex_profile' ); 

If you are not using any plugin or don’t see any robot tags to update in your userprofile, use the below instead and the insertion will be made in the head

function noindex_profile() {
  	if (bbp_is_single_user()){
  	  	echo '<META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW” />' ;
  	}
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'noindex_profile' );

Hope this helps.

This is fantastic — I will definitely test this out.

Am I right in thinking that the two times this line appears:

if ($user_id == 57) $signature 'signature for user 57' ;

Should actually read as:

if ($user_id == 57) $signature = 'signature for user 57' ;

Hi

We’ve got an issue after upgrading bbPress to 2.6.x:

The “latest reply” column on the forum index page isn’t showing the real latest reply. Instead, we see the latest reply as it was just before the upgrade to 2.6.x.
None of the replies after the update are displayed.
This happens only at the forum index, not on the sub forum index pages; the sub forum index page shows the right latest reply.

The options to repair/recalculate didn’t correct the information in the “latest reply” column.

We’ve seen this on 2.6.1 and 2.6.3.
We did a downgrade to 2.5.14 twice, once after 2.6.1 and once after 2.6.3, we did every time the repair/recalculate, and we’ve got the column working good again with the right and expected “latest reply”.

URL: http://www.lotgenotenseksueelgeweld.nl
Note: It’s in Dutch localized.

bbPress version now: 2.5.14
We have the forum index built by using the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] .
For the sub forums, we use the corresponding shortcode with the ID of the sub forum.
WordPress version 5.3.2.
PHP version 7.3.12.

Anyone else having this situation? How did you get it solved?
Or could this be a bug in the bbPress?

[Robin W]

try this

add_action( 'bbp_template_before_user_profile', 'rew_add' ); 

function rew_add () {
	echo '<META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW” />' ;
}

[natsu12345]

NVM i found the code it does work , but i cant get the page ID to work correctly

[pyoil]

Thanks for the quick reply and detailed steps @robin-w. Really helpful.

Wondering if the Meta can be added through PHP instead of using a child theme?

I use the Snippet plugin to add and keep track of code, so I don’t lose track of these customizations (and potential conflicts) in the future. So a PHP hook will be really useful.

[Robin W]

try this in the custom css area of your theme

#bbpress-forums {
	margin-top: 30px !important;
}

and adjust the 30px to suit

[Robin W]

of course this presume you have a child theme

Hi

The user profile pages of my bbPress forums are getting indexed in google.

Example pages
https://domainname.com/users/displayname/
https://domainname.com/users/displayname/topics
https://domainname.com/users/displayname/engagement
https://domainname.com/users/displayname/replies

So I want to add <META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW” /> to all the above pages

I think I need to insert the META into wordpress > wp-content > plugins > bbpress > templates > default > bbpress > user-profile.php

But I don’t want to edit the plugin file and lose the change during plugin update.

Is there a PHP code I can use to make the insertion to the user-profile.php?

Thanks in advance for the help

[Robin W]

presuming ‘replace_text’ does the heavy lifting, then

add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content',  ‘replace_text' ) ;
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', ' ‘replace_text’ );

with replace text looking like

replace_text ($content) {
//stuff to do the replacing....
return $content ;
}

[Robin W]

untested but try

add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'rew_reply_signature', 1, 2 );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'rew_topic_signature', 1, 2 );

function rew_topic_signature ($content = '', $topic_id = 0) {
	$topic_id  = bbp_get_topic_id       ( $topic_id );
	$user_id   = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id );
	$separator = '<hr />' ;
	$before = '<div class="bbp-topic-signature">' ;
	$after = '</div>' ;
	if ($user_id == 3) $signature =  'signature for user 3' ;
	if ($user_id == 57) $signature 'signature for user 57' ;
	if ( !empty( $signature ) )
		$content = $content . $separator . $before . $signature . $after;
	return apply_filters( 'rew_topic_signature ', $content, $topic_id) ;
}

function rew_reply_signature ($content = '', $reply_id = 0) {
	$reply_id  = bbp_get_reply_id       ( $reply_id );
	$user_id   = bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id );
	$separator = '<hr />' ;
	$before = '<div class="bbp-reply-signature">' ;
	$after = '</div>' ;
	if ($user_id == 3) $signature =  'signature for user 3' ;
	if ($user_id == 57) $signature 'signature for user 57' ;
	if ( !empty( $signature ) )
		$content = $content . $separator . $before . $signature . $after;
	return apply_filters( 'rew_reply_signature ', $content, $reply_id) ;
}

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

Hi!

When the forum sends out an email to members the email body contains   HTML code. Instead of adding a space between the two lines it ads   . The reply looks normal on the forum page and on the backend.

For example:

This is a test message.

 

This is a test message.
 

 

Topic Link:…….

Hi folks. I am trying to add the shortcode for a single forum [bbp-single-forum id=$id ]

However I cannot find the ‘forum id’ anywhere.

The bbpress install is new and I have only created one test forum. Nowhere is the ‘test forum id’ listed. I can only see a field for ‘order’ which is by default ‘0’. So I tried the forum id as 0 but nothing appears on the page, I have also tried the id as 1 as it is the only forum created.
Please note that the shortcode for showing ‘all forums’ work as expected on the page.

Any thoughts?
Thank you.

[wriper]

Big thanks!

This worked for me

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author .bbp-author-name {
  width: 100%;
}

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author .bbp-author-role {
  width: 100%;
}

Hi!

I don’t know if this is possible, but I would like to replace the text editor in reply of bbpress by another wysiwyg html editor like this one:

https://summernote.org/

I have some trouble right now. The users on my web site report me that they can’t put any html code in their post like the balise ul/li. I edit their post and repost. The code appear just fine. They can’t use a simple <br/> but I can. Is it the editor of bbpress? Or a permission thing?

Another admin have the same problem also. They post a first reply with a ul/li. The list appear just fine. He post the same code after that one and the content between the ul/li just desappear.

Thank you for your help.
