ok, the code I gave you was topics in a forum, not replies in a topic.

try this instead

add_filter( 'bbp_replies_pagination', 'rew_change_shown' ) ;

function rew_change_shown ($args) {
	$args['mid_size'] = 8 ;
return $args ;
}

I’ve been trying to turn off mentions using:

add_filter( 'bbp_find_mentions', '__return_false' );

and

add_filter( 'bp_activity_do_mentions', '__return_false' );

but it’s not working. Has this changed in v2.6?

Running bbPress v2.6-rc-7 and buddypress 4.3.0

I want to turn it off as it’s not required by the site, but mainly that it breaks URLs that happen to contain a username as described here.

Any ideas on how I can turn off @mentions?

[Robin W]

Right now, It display 1,2,3…722,723,724

so is this EXACTLY what it displayed without the code ?

[Robin W]

you want ‘snippets’ that is the php code bit

[Robin W]

Additional CSS panel

ah, this is not css, this is php code, it needs to go in the functions file of your child theme or the code snippets plugin. If it is the latter, that should also give you what then error is – I need to know what that say if it doesn’t work

[armyadarkness]

Yes, when I copy that code into the Additional CSS panel, all of those “Red X” appear “unexpected characters on line… ” etc.

[armyadarkness]

Thanks a lot Robin, unfortunately, the code didn’t work at all. I copied and pasted it exactly, and even tried that plugin. It just gives errors.

[Robin W]

I can’t remember it ever being asked 🙂

However after a bit of digging, this will change it

add_filter( 'bbp_topic_pagination', 'rew_change_shown' ) ;

function rew_change_shown ($args) {
	$args['mid_size'] = 8 ;
return $args ;
}

8 shows ‘8 +previous and next’ – so 10 – amend the number to whatever you want

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

looks to me like bbpress-functions.php is not loading the topic.js nor reply.js when using a shortcode to load a topic.

I commented out this if and then the scripts load:

/*if ( bbp_is_single_topic() ) {*/

// Topic favorite/unsubscribe
$scripts[‘bbpress-topic’] = array(
‘file’ => ‘js/topic.js’,
‘dependencies’ => array( ‘jquery’ )
);

// Hierarchical replies
if ( bbp_thread_replies() ) {
$scripts[‘bbpress-reply’] = array(
‘file’ => ‘js/reply.js’,
‘dependencies’ => array( ‘jquery’ )
);
}
/*}*/

so similar to the above post it appears that bbp_is_single_topic() is returning false for some reason. I tested this without any other plugins and also with the latest development version and the scripts still do not load unless I comment out that if. I suppose this means these scripts get loaded all the time but everything seems to still work

What is the secret to modifying/changing the query on the topic archive page? I want to list all topics on that page rather than have 16, and i do not want pagination. On normal wordpress post types this is easily done with pre_get_posts filter. But how is it done with bbpress?

I have tried this:

function bbp_change_topic_archive_query_args( $query = array() ) {
	$query['order'] = 'asc';
	$query['orderby'] = 'title';
	$query['post_count'] = -1;
	$query['posts_per_page'] = -1;
	return $query;
}
add_filter('bbp_has_topics_query','bbp_change_topic_archive_query_args');

and this: (but this requires a shortcode to work properly)

function bbp_my_register_custom_views() {
	bbp_register_view( 
		'asc', __( 'A-Z' ), 
		array(
			'orderby' => 'title',
			'order' => 'ASC',
			'post_count' => '-1',
			'posts_per_page' => '-1',
			'hide_empty' => false,
		), false );
}
add_action( 'bbp_register_views', 'bbp_my_register_custom_views' );

What else can be done?
This has to be possible.

wp v5.2.2, bbp 2.5.14
site is a pw protected site. I can give access privately if necessary.

Thanks!

This is because in the bbpress plugin there is a template called content-search.php. Many themes also now have a template file called content-search.php. Since the bbPress templates don’t necessarily need to be in a bbPress folder, the bbPress plugin is choosing the template from your theme before the template that is actually in bbPress.

To fix copy content-search.php from the bbPress plugin templates and place it in a child theme in a folder called bbpress.

Functions files and child themes – explained !

So create a directory on your child theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-search.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-search.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

We have an HTML5 website using SimpleCMS, and a linked WordPress blog. I have installed the WordPress bbPress forum plugin on that blog site. When it seemed like it was lacking what appeared to be some pretty basic controls, I also installed the bbPress Toolkit plugin.

Since that also seemed to lack what to me should have been basic components of a working forum, I also installed the bbPress WP Tweaks plugin. It amazes me that a tool that is this popular seems to lack simple ordinary functions like clear login and registration tools that link directly to the forum.

Using the shortcodes, I created separate pages for login, registration and lost passwords, but once logged in, it still does not take the user to the main forum page. In fact, it goes nowhere. I would think that there should be a simple field for adding the path to the forum to which the user would be registering or logging in, but there isn’t. Instead, it just states “You are already logged in.” on the login screen with no link to anywhere else.

Can someone please explain to me how I can get the login to take the user to the actual forum page after they login? To me this should be automatic, but for some reason it is unnecessarily complicated.

Also, is there not a way to manage the subscription without requiring the user to have a WP or bbPress account? All I want is a private forum with users who can create their own usernames and passwords to login and share information, without that user data being shared with anyone else. For some reason, this simple task seems to be too much to expect.

So unless I’m doing something completely wrong (which is entirely possible), I need a way to resolve this with the tools available in bbPress. Any practical solutions are welcome. Thanks.

Hi,

Over the past few weeks I’ve been customizing bbress to my liking using the live css editor in wordpress.
I tried moving it all to a stylesheet within my child theme in a folder called css.
I’ve named the file bbpress.css.

Everything was working fine in the wordpress editor, but after moving it to bbpress.css a lot of things no longer work.
Even when I try !important, a lot of things still don’t to work.

I should note that some of the code does work which is why this confuses me.
Any suggestions?

WordPress 5.2.2
BBPress 2.5.14

where can i paste this code? i have the same problem

[Robin W]

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

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-anonymous.php
Make a copy of this file, 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-anonymous.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

in that template you will see

<p>
			<label for="bbp_anonymous_email"><?php _e( 'Mail (will not be published) (required):', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
			<input type="text" id="bbp_anonymous_email"   value="<?php bbp_author_email(); ?>" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" size="40" name="bbp_anonymous_email" />
		</p>

just remove that – I think that should work

@danishsard

some great people wrote bbpress software for free, spent many many hours writing code, getting feedback, improving and supporting it – all for free and they did this for many years.

In the background they do work on bbpress form time to time.

That they now are mainly doing other things is sad for us, but they have a perfect right to do as they wish, and should feel under no obligation to spend time supporting the code.

Similarly I have written a number of plugins that do stuff in bbpress, and I support these as I am able to and when I have free time. I also do some support on here. But this is all voluntary, and there will come a time when I no longer wish to do so.

There are a number of things that bbpress could do differently – what you call ‘should be repaired’ – but that is just your view on how it should work, and no-one is under any obligation to do anything – that is how OSF software works.

I can replicate your issue of a non existent page, and when I get some time I may (or may not) look at how to fix this.

But please be thankful that free code is out there and make the most of what it does, not resentful of what it does not do.

use

Hello i have the same problem,

how can i solve this problem?
Idk where to paste the fix code.
Thank you for your help

Error – when wordpress can be used for the wordpress discussion. Someone will send a new topic with these words – it is automatically redirected to a non-existent page – this is a forum bug.

can you describe an exact series of stepsto get this error – I do not understand

The entire wordpress discussion settings should also work bbpress – and not just selected elements – that would increase the functionality of the forum at zero cost.

zero cost ?? – just a massive recode of bbpress taking many many hours!!! What bit is missing ?

[kdelsimone]

@blogxkomo I created a custom.php file and dropped the code in there. Works like a charm. You could also try creating a custom plugin or using @jrevillini ‘s solution above.

[James Revillini]

Yes, you could add it to functions.php, but it may be easier for you to install the plugin Code Snippets and then paste it into a snippet like so: http://tinyurl.com/y49p67as

[blogxkomo]

where this code to input? https://gist.github.com/jrevillini/7f38ee887d7e6919cfc31c6a7e2cc514

i already put this script in my functions.php but my blog error …

[Robin W]

try

#bbpress-forums .ast-col-md-6 {
	width: auto;
}

[techiebraj]

When I add this CSS code then my website another archive page(Category page) is also affecting, e.g., https://staging.keeptaxisalive.org/category/blogs/

I don’t want to affect all the archive. Only forum page should be auto width only.

Thank you!

[Robin W]

it is because your theme has this set in a box

.ast-col-md-6 {
	width: 50%;
}

add this to your custom css

.ast-col-md-6 {
	width: auto;
}
