I’ve set up some FAQs as topics in a closed forum and would like to re-order them. I came across this code:

//* Change sort order of Topics within a specified bbpress forum
function my_custom_display_topic_index_query ($args) {
  $thisforumid = bbp_get_forum_id();

  if($thisforumid == 43135) {
    $args['orderby'] = 'date';
    $args['order']   = 'ASC';
  }

  return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_has_topics_parse_args', 'my_custom_display_topic_index_query '     );

… but when I added it to my functions.php file it hid all the topics (even though at forum archive level it displayed the correct number of topics in the topic count column). Removing it returned my topics.

Any pointers?

I have something funny going on.

I have this code running as a snippet:

// Redirect Registration Page
function my_registration_page_redirect()
{
    global $pagenow;
 
    // Standard Registration Redirect
    if ( (strtolower($pagenow) == 'wp-login.php') && (strtolower($_GET['action']) == 'register') ) {
        wp_redirect( home_url('/register/') );
    }
  
    // Redirection after successful registration
    if ( (strtolower($pagenow) == 'wp-login.php') && (strtolower($_GET['checkemail']) == 'registered') ) {
        wp_redirect( home_url('/registration-complete/') );
    }
}
 
add_filter( 'init', 'my_registration_page_redirect' );

Now, I start a browser and go to my website:

About Theocratic Software

I scroll to the bottom and I see my existing username and password in the login box (but not logged in).

I hit the Register button and it goes to my registration form.

I fill it in and tick the recaptcha and hit the register button.

There is a momentary delay and it just moves to the stbndard wp-login.php page with the existing username and password prefilled. I get no emails to the new account i filled in the form.

So, I hit back in my browser and my new account is filled in the form. I tick the recaptcha again and hit register again. This tie, after a delay, it takes me to my registration complete page and I do indeed get the email re: password and account activation.

I thought I had understood the registry redirection correctly so why do I get the initial issue? It has happened twice for me now.

Add this php code snippet into themes functions.php file but did not happen any changes

[Babblebey]

$topic = bbp_get_topic_id();
$users = get_users() ;
$count = 0;
foreach ($users as $user) {
    $topic_list = array(get_usermeta ($user->id, 'wp__bbp_favorites', false)) ;
    if (in_array ($topic , $topic_list))  $count++ ;
}
echo $count;

And this one worked Robin! Thank you!

[Babblebey]

I guess I will be patient for you to test this Robin

$topic = bbp_get_topic_id();
$users = get_users() ;
$count = 0;
foreach ($users as $user) {
    $topic_list = get_usermeta ($user->id, 'wp__bbp_favorites', false) ;
    if (in_array ($topic , $topic_list))  $count++ ;
}
echo $count;

I am getting the error

Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, string given in C:\wamp\www\omna\wp-content\themes\omna2\bbpress\content-single-topic-lead.php on line 134

[Robin W]

under 2.5.14 favorites are stored in usermeta under ‘wp__bbp_favorites’ as a list of topics

so to get a count for a topic, you would need to loop through all users and for each one count if the current topic was in it.

so something like (not tested as am tied up elsewhere, so just spending 5 mins on this)

$topic = some function to get current topic number if not already there
$users = get_users() ;
$count = 0 ;
foreach ($users as $user) {
	$topic_list = get_usermeta ($user->id, 'wp__bbp_favorites', false) ;
	if (in_array ($topic , $topic_list) $count++ ;
}
echo $count ;

[Babblebey]

I am trying to make up my own topic description/summary area, so I would like to display the current number of favourites and subscriptions the current topic has.

I have done successfully some other part of the area

<?php !bbp_show_lead_topic() ? bbp_topic_reply_count() : bbp_topic_post_count(); // Display No. of replies in current topic ?>
<?php bbp_topic_voice_count(); //Display No of Users in current topic ?>
<?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_topic_last_active_id(), 'type' => 'avatar', 'size' => 20 ) ); //Display Last Reply User ?>
<?php bbp_topic_freshness_link(); //Display Last Reply Time ?>

So I currently want a function that will display the number of favourites(priority) and subscriptions(not much priority).

Thanking you in anticipation of any working response.

[Danishsard]

This does not remove photos from the page code but from the view and that’s something. Thank you for your help!

[Robin W]

the [bsp-display-topic-index] shortcode in my style pack plugin may be what you need

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes to see how it works

[stracy2]

Hi Robin. Thank you for responding.

database size should be no problem

I’m glad to hear that, thank you.

This is a custom convert that is a work in progress.

Forums, Topic, Replies all look good, along with a single word search, but we just noticed this issue with searching more than one word.

Another clue, after enabling debug output, “sometimes” a two word search will give this error:
“Fatal error: Allowed memory size of bytes exhausted in /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-includes/post.php on line 2272”

[oguruma]

I want to use the [bbp-topic-index] shortcode, however I really want to filter by A) Public Forums, and/or B) certain forums.

When you use the topic-index shortcode, it spits out topics regardless of the forum. The problem with this is that I use BuddyPress and there are groups with private forms. I don’t want the topic-index shortcode to display these private forums.

Now, I could use the [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] shortcode. The problem with this, however, is that it will display ALL of the topics for that forum. Now, I COULD hide everything after the first 15 or so topics with CSS, but this is a pretty terrible solution because 1) a boatload of topics are still going to (unnecessarily) be part of the HTML markup and widespread use of display:none is bad for SEO.

Any ideas?

[Robin W]

sorry, but we all have to live, and I don’t plan to replicate Vinny’s code for free.

Users are of course free to subscribe themselves to forums, and then they receive what you are after

[Robin W]

try

#bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta img.avatar{
	display : none ;
}

[Danishsard]

Hello, will this also not remove images from the view of a specific entry in the conversation tree?

It will still load in the page code, you could delete the image by adding files. I tried but the site is broken because I do not know how to edit the line of code that displays it loop topic so as not to spoil and delete only the avatar on the topic list page

[Robin W]

the simplest way would be to put this in your theme’s custom css area

img.avatar {
	display : none ;
}

[Danishsard]

Hello, on the list of forum topics avatery are visible, how can I hide or delete them. I just need a username without these pictures.

I don’t know where to turn it on or how to enable it, even by editing the forum file code

My forum page https://infomiasto.eu/forum/tematy/rozmowy/

[Robin W]

this is code from bbpress version 1 – 9 years ago, unlikely to work

[berry metal]

I don’t use hand-coded, inline tempolates. I am using Templatera of WPBakery, and I am happy with it as it gives me a graphical overview of the structure, and they are easy to re-make or replace.

In WPBakery, I have a javascript module, an html module, but there is no PHP module.

But there is a text module which does accept shortcodes.
What do you recommend in this scenario?

[Robin W]

the code would go in your single post template – not having seen the template, I can’t say where !

I was presuming that you were editing this template and Ftp’ing it to your site, in which case, yes it could break it, but you’d just keep a copy of the old template and FTP that back. If you have debugging switched on, then this will tell you where the error is to let you correct

[Babblebey]

Thank you once again, Robin

<?php
if ( babblebey_has_topics() ):
    while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic();
        get_template_part( 'template-parts/topic', 'card' );
    endwhile;
endif;
?>

I used it like that

[Babblebey]

So I will be calling babblebey_has_topics() ?????? Please see as stated below too

I’d be tempted to just clone the bbp_has_topics function

add this to your functions file

which is just bbp_has_topics’ renamed with pagination changed to -1

and then call that

[berry metal]

Thank you!
Should I insert the code above in my functions.php as it is, and use [bbp-single-topic id='.$forum_id.'] in my template?
The fact that is not tested, can it break my site?

[Robin W]

untested, but try

$title = get_the_title() ;
$forums = bbp_get_forums_for_current_user() ;
	foreach ($forums as $forum) {
		if ($forum->post_title == $title) {
			$forum_id= $forum->ID ;
		}
	}
do_shortcode( '[bbp-single-topic id='.$forum_id.']' );

The Post Per Page as its been set up from the “Forum Setting”:

Works as it should, i.e dictate the number of topics to display per Single Forum Page:

But the same setting is inturn affecting my custom loop I have placed on my HomePage Sticky Sidebar to display latest topics:

I want something similar to the ` $args = array(‘posts_per_page’ => 10 //my custom number) as its being used in the normal WP Post Loop like this below:

<?php $args = array(
‘posts_per_page’ => 10 // Like this one here
);
$posts = new WP_Query($args);
if ($posts->have_posts()):
while($posts->have_posts()): $posts->the_post();
get_template_part( ‘template-parts/content’, get_post_format() );
endwhile;
endif;
wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
`
