it’s not much of a codex, but it’s the only one there is! I wrote quite a lot if it when I started using bbpress – I’m just a bbpress user who helps on here. If you’d like to contribute, post suggested improvements and I’ll add them – just saying 🙂

So if your code was working a few days ago, and it now isn’t, then you must have upgraded the theme, a plugin or changed something else. Without knowing what it’s hard to help.

It’s working! Great!
1.New scheduled topic: time of publication and the timestamp in tracker coincide now!
2.Old topic (written 5 years ago) after time-correction for today – appear in the tracker correctly!
3.But, does not work for scheduled replay in topic. If replace the word “topic” for word “replay” in the code – will this work?

[Pleiades]

I have a bbPress forum integrated with WooCommerce.
Until a few days ago it was working fine, but now

$uid = bbp_get_current_user_id();

if ( bbp_has_forums( array(
     'author' => $uid
 )) ) :

returns bool(false) regardless of the user or user role.

On a side note, when searching codex.bbpress.org, the results I (don’t) get:

bbp_get_current_user_id – “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.”
bbp_has_forums – “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.”
bbp_forums – “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.”
bbp_the_forum – “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.”

I understand these are just wrappers for WP_Query, but there are some obviously also forum-specific options. It doesn’t seem like much of a codex. Just saying.

[Robin W]

this is more complicated than it as first looks, as there is forum data that needs updating

but as a start

function rew_status_transitions( $post ) {
	if ( $post->post_type == 'topic') {
		//update the post meta
		update_post_meta ($post->ID, '_bbp_last_active_time' , $post->post_date) ;
	}
	 
}
add_action(  'future_to_publish',  'rew_status_transitions', 10, 1 );

yes, apostrophes are okay now, with same result as before : links do not appear anymore in new topics. i disable the code, links display…

So strange this function is not in bbpresscore, I suppose many of us need it..

Anyway, thank you so much for your help and patience Robin. I spent much time on this without results. I think I’ll just lokk for another system than bbpress for my forum..

[Robin W]

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

return $args;
 }

needs the apostrophies sorting on it !!

[Oaz]

here it is

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' );

function custom_bbp_show_lead_topic( $show_lead ) {
$show_lead[] = 'true';
return $show_lead;
}

add_filter('bbp_show_lead_topic', 'custom_bbp_show_lead_topic' );

[Robin W]

can you post the code you are now using

[williamlucas]

Thank you, Stephen, for sharing the examples link.Now i know where i was doing the mistake and after applying the code it work like anything.

Well, this thread is pretty old and I have a way how you can enable AMP for bbpress pages.

Before going to enable AMP support you need below things:
– Code snippets plugin
– AMP plugin

Create a new code snippet and add the following code:
add_action( ‘amp_init’, ‘amp_bbpress_init’ );
function amp_bbpress_init() {
add_post_type_support( ‘topic’, AMP_QUERY_VAR );
}

@poonasor

function rew_check_forum_root () {
$forum_slug = '/'.bbp_get_root_slug().'/' ;
$page_slug = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ;
if ($page_slug == $forum_slug) return true ;
else return false ;
}

if (rew_check_forum_root() ) echo 'we are at the forum root!'  ;

[Robin W]

this should do it

function rew_check_forum_root () {
$forum_slug = '/'.bbp_get_root_slug().'/' ;
$page_slug = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ;
if ($page_slug == $forum_slug) return true ;
else return false ;
}

if (rew_check_forum_root() ) echo 'we are at the forum root!'  ;

[Robin W]

I’m pretty sue that you code is suffering from apostrophe differences.

When you copy code differ3ent editors change the ‘ !

so your code has for instance

(‘bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args’,

suggest you remove the start and end apostrophies and replace eg

('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args',

[Oaz]

here is all the code I have (line 614 to 626) :

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’ );

function custom_bbp_show_lead_topic( $show_lead ) {
$show_lead[] = ‘true’;

return $show_lead;
}
add_filter(‘bbp_show_lead_topic’, ‘custom_bbp_show_lead_topic’ );

The errors :

Notice: Use of undefined constant ‘custom_bbp_has_replies’ – assumed ‘‘custom_bbp_has_replies’’ in /home/acania/public_html/demo/wp-content/themes/woffice-child-theme/functions.php on line 619

In fact answers are not inverted anymore…

[Robin W]

hmmm…

1. did you leave in the code, from what you say that is needed as well

function custom_bbp_show_lead_topic( $show_lead ) {
$show_lead[] = ‘true’;
return $show_lead;
}
add_filter(‘bbp_show_lead_topic’, ‘custom_bbp_show_lead_topic’ );

on your other errors, can you post lines from say 615-630 from your functions file

[Oaz]

Hi Robin and thanks for your answer,

I tried with your code, and :

replies are inverted but I cannot see the Topic itself anymore, only answers

– I have this handful of mistakes appearing

I am not a developper, so I do not know what to do with these

[Robin W]

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
