your first bit of code should be

function custom_bbp_has_replies($args) {
 $args[‘order’] = ‘DESC’; // ‘ASC’ (Ascending, Default), ‘DESC’ (Descending)

return $args;
 }

add_filter(‘bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args’, ‘custom_bbp_has_replies’ );

The ($args) brings in all the existing args and then your next line modifies just the ‘order’ arg. Otherwise the only argument passed to the query is the ‘order’ arg, so there is nothing to display.

[Robin W]

Great – glad you are fixed, and for anyone reading this later the code should be

add_filter ('bbp_get_do_not_reply_address', 'rew_no_reply') ;

function rew_no_reply ($no_reply) {
	$no_reply = 'abc@def.com' ;
return $no_reply ;
}

[rhodesengr]

I fixed it. Needed single quotes around the email address. I don’t uslly code much in php so I am not super on top of the syntax. Thanks for the code. Now it does just what I want. Only the admin email gets notified when someone posts. That is what i want for now. Thanks again.

[rhodesengr]

I tried your code snipet and it killed my site. I commented it back out and the site is working again. here is exactly what I put in functions.php except i changed the actual email name to “myemail”

add_filter (‘bbp_get_do_not_reply_address’, ‘rew_no_reply’) ;
function rew_no_reply ($no_reply) {
$no_reply = myemail@gmail.com ;
return $no_reply ;
}

[rhodesengr]

ok thanks. I am trying the asynchronnous one first. Not really sure what it is doing. Now it seems like no email gets sent at all. Not to noreply, not to the poster, and not to site admin. I have asked about this on that plugin support page.

Your code snippet goes in functions.php?

[Robin W]

by default bbpress send one email to the noreply address and bcc’s in the subscibers, so only one email sent.

code to change

add_filter ('bbp_get_do_not_reply_address', 'rew_no_reply') ;

function rew_no_reply ($no_reply) {
	$no_reply = abc@def.com ;
return $no_reply ;
}

You’d think the bbpress coders would have created setting for this by now

the bbpress coders are busy people who can code what they wish to. Not up to us to criticise free software

[rhodesengr]

ok. thanks. What are “individual emails”

Also, is there a reference to how to change the code? I would like to consider that option.

I searched and found some other threads about this issue. One was from 2016. You’d think the bbpress coders would have created setting for this by now. Seems a lot of plugins have problems if you don’t have an enmail address with the website domain but it is very commone to use the built in system, your own pop, or gmail. Then the noreply@yourdomain.com is invalid. Common and forseeable.

[Robin W]

bbpress sends an email to the noreply address and bcc’s in the intended recipients.

2 solutions

1. my style pack plugin lets you amend the ‘to’ address (see email subscriptions tab), or you can do this with code, and amend it to a real address on your website.

bbp style pack

2.switch to individual emails – this plugin does that https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions

[manuuu1127]

I looked through all the entries and didn’t find the answer. Maybe if someone else goes searching they will see my answer.

If you remove the sidebar and change your page to full-width it won’t work…buttt if you create a new page and set it as full width and then put the bbpress code into it, it will go full width. My only thing now is I will probably install a plug in to put sidebars where I want them

[Robin W]

put this in your functions file, or code snippets

Code Snippets

//Number of forums per page
add_filter (‘bbp_before_has_forums_parse_args’, ‘rew_number_of_forums’) ;#

function rew_number_of_forums ($args) {
$args[‘posts_per_page’] = 100 ;
return $args ;
}

[Robin W]

as per op

What I did,
1. installed Simple Custom CSS plugin – all ok
2. insert the below code. and changed the font-size: 1.1em; to 1.6em

[unionhost]

hello,

I don’t understand where do we have to copy-paste this code please ?
I’m looking for increasing the size of the font forum; thanks

[Robin W]

I’d suggest you do this as follows:

there is a ‘hook’ that you show above called ‘<?php do_action( ‘bbp_template_before_single_topic’ ); ?>’

This tells bbpress to do any action that is added at that point.

so adding a hook will mean that the function is called at that point.

The following code should go in your child theme functions file, or use the code snippets plugin

Code Snippets

add_action ( 'bbp_template_before_single_topic' , 'rew_back' ); 

function rew_back () {
	$text = 'click to go back' ;
	if (bbp_get_topic_forum_id() == '25') $href = home_url( '/forum/domestics/' ) ;
	if (bbp_get_topic_forum_id() == '33') $href = home_url( '/forum/commercial/' ) ;
		//where to go if page not there
	else $href = home_url( '/login/' ) ;
	echo '<a class="button" href ="'.$href.'">'.$text.'</a>' ;
}

so each forum will need a line.

Hello,

I’ve been having issues with breadcrumbs, and gone through various mechanisms to get them working efficiently with no joy.

My needs are simple, so looking to create a simple button in my single topic template to go back to the forum the topic is a part of.

Can anyone suggest the best URL and code to use?

/ Background:

– I have created multiple single forums
– I have then created multiple WP pages, and used the single forum shortcode to embed the forum in the page
– I’d like to include one button at the top of the topic, that simply takes the user back to the relevant page that is hosting that particular forum (not the bbP forum page)

/ Location of code:

I am guessing (non-coder) that the best location for this code would be as follows (within content-single-topic.php). Is this correct? (see code below)


<?php

/**
* Single Topic Content Part
*
* @package bbPress
* @subpackage Theme
*/

?>

/* BUTTON HERE */

<div id="bbpress-forums">

<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>

<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_topic' ); ?>


Cheers,

Michael

Hi,

I have created a custom notification for my site when a post is published, the code used to do this is :-

// this is to add a fake component to BuddyPress. A registered component is needed to add notifications

    }
    // Add 'custom' component to registered components array
    array_push( $component_names, 'publishpost' );
    // Return component's with 'custom' appended
    return $component_names;
}
add_filter( 'bp_notifications_get_registered_components', 'custom_filter_notifications_get_registered_components' );

// this hooks to post creation and saves the post id
function bp_custom_add_notification( $post_id, $post ) {

How can i create the same for a new bbpress topic? i’m thinking i need to change this code section but not sure how

// this hooks to post creation and saves the post id
function bp_custom_add_notification( $post_id, $post ) {
        $post = get_post( $post_id );
        $author_id = $post->post_author;
		
		$blogusers = get_users( array( 'role' => 'staff' ) );
		// Array of WP_User objects.

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[hthornhillhww]

Hi,

I have created a custom notification for my site when a post is published, if i have buddypress activated alone i see the notification text but as soon as i activate bbpress i can no longer see the notification description. In order to work out this was happening when bbpress was activated i created a whole new blank install of wpress and only installed the two plugins and when i deactivated bbpress it showed the text.

this is how the notification shows when bbpress is activated
https://www.dropbox.com/s/uepps9cjcd8xan5/With%20BbPress%20no%20text.PNG?dl=0

this is how the notification shows when bbpress is NOT activated
https://www.dropbox.com/s/03wch6bc27nsked/Without%20BbPress%20showing%20text.PNG?dl=0

I am using Twenty seventeen as the theme, bbpress version 2.5.14, buddypress version 4.1.0 and the latest version of wordpress

I need to get it so that when bbpress is activated i can see the custom notification description as we use bbpress for our forums

[kahlidah]

I have searched everywhere for an answer but cant find one to this

I have created a single page forum, using a custom page and a shortcode for forum id. The layout for this page is completely different to the rest of my site. All is good with that until you click on a topic and the topic page reverts back to the standard template of the rest of my site.

I need the single topic page to replicate that one custom page on my site and can’t for the life of me work out how. Would be good if I could just duplicate the page layout by creating a new page and using shortcode like I did with the forum page, but the only shortcode for topics I can find is [bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id] which calls for a specific topic id, not for all topics.

How do I get around this. Thanks in advance.

[Howdy_McGee]

I’m receiving a couple undefined index notices whenever viewing the settings page:

PHP Notice:  Undefined index: args in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/admin.php on line 370
PHP Notice:  Undefined index: sanitize_callback in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/admin.php on line 374

Any ideas what could be causing this?

[Robin W]

you will need to do a custom import

Custom Import

[ahmetinal]

i use this but i want this files to be in topic not bottom and files must view
after upload doc view this code <iframe src="https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=MYLOCAL URL" style="width:600px; height:500px;" frameborder="0"></iframe>
İts possible ?

[Robin W]

@antipole thanks for posting the solution and link to the code 🙂

[Robin W]

add this to your theme’s custom css area or the custom css area tab of my style pack plugin

.has-sidebar:not(.error404) #primary {
	width: 100% !important;
}

[letaiwanais]

hi.

I would like to know how to manage the form for creating a new topic.

With the plugin BBP Pack style, I have created a button “Create a new topic” and i would like that, once you click on that button, we can write our topic and publish it after.
For that, i already have created a dedicated page (https://blogfcombeta.wpengine.com/creer-un-nouveau-sujet/) with a bbcode.
What i want now is to redirect the create topic button on the dedicated page, and MUST important, to delete the current form displayed in the sub forum like this page : https://blogfcombeta.wpengine.com/forum-freelance/outils-freelance/outils-productivite-gestion-de-projet-freelance/

Is It someone who know how to do that ?

Thanks.

PS : if you could also help me to well positionned the Subscribe button, it would be very pleasant !
The site is still private so for access it, please using this iD : blogfcombeta / e8556cb8
