@robin-w oh no worries on this being a ‘new’ thing for you to hear — as someone who does not work with buddypress like yourself you’re never going to hear this. it’s because it is a way that bbpress sends information to buddypress when buddypress pulls info from bbpress into it, when it uses bbpress programming to create ‘group forums.’

it’s not a bug; it’s how the interface between bbpress and buddypress works.

at least, that’s what i’m gathering now, after reading other people’s posts with the same issue in forums all over the web.

so my question to you now: what is the file that bbpress uses to say what the slug is — the URL name, which in this case is just ‘forum’….not ‘forums’ but ‘forum’ — so i can alter that?

i HHAAAATE altering core files, but in this case it’s likely needed.

whatever ‘default URL/slug’ command is used when buddypress pulls in forum creation/function into bbpress……chances are, that is the file i will (gulp!) need to modify.

i’m guessing that the same code/file is used to be the ‘default slug name’ in bbpress. which is….’forum’

what file does that? creates a default ‘forum’ in the URL/slug when a forum is created?

unfortunately when themes don’t obbey the rules, I can’t code for them 🙂

[Robin W]

apologies put

.bbp-topic-content p {
    color: black !important;
}

[Robin W]

put this is my plugin’s custom css tab

bbp-topic-content p {
    color: black !important;
}

[Robin W]

untested, but this should do it

add_filter ('bbp_after_has_search_results_parse_args', 'my_function')

my_function ($args) {
	
		// bbp_get_closed_status_id() REMOVED,
		$post_statuses = array(
			bbp_get_public_status_id(),
			bbp_get_spam_status_id(),
			bbp_get_trash_status_id()
		);

		// Add support for private status
		if ( current_user_can( 'read_private_topics' ) ) {
			$post_statuses[] = bbp_get_private_status_id();
		}

		// Join post statuses together
		$args['post_status'] = implode( ',', $post_statuses );
		
return $args ;

}

That is indeed it, thanks! So I was barking the wrong tree, nothing wrong with WordPress being able to access bbPress.

Where should one look for bbPress function documentation these days? I notice that I have difficulties finding information, and when I do find something, figuring out if the functions are for bbPress 1, bbPress 2, or BuddyPress is sometimes difficult. There is some sort of a list here but bbp_get_topic_tag_names() is not included, among others.

[Robin W]

sorry, untested and taken from my files – try

function rew_no_reply_per_forum ($reply_address) {
	$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id() ;
	if ($forum_id == 6 ) $reply_address =  'xxx@yyy.com' ;
	if ($forum_id == 7) $reply_address =  'abd@hdhd.com' ;
	return $reply_address ;
}

add_filter ('bbp_get_do_not_reply_address', 'rew_no_reply_per_forum') ;

I pasted it in the functions.php file of my child theme and it threw this error message before I could save it:
————————————-

Your PHP code changes were rolled back due to an error on line 271 of file wp-content/themes/kleo-child/functions.php. Please fix and try saving again.

syntax error, unexpected ‘$forum_id’ (T_VARIABLE), expecting ‘(‘

————————————-

Line 271 is:

if $forum_id = 18747 $reply_address = 'mlt-club@monalisa-twins.com' ;

The first item in the list of forums

[Robin W]

try this in your functions file

function rew_no_reply_per_forum ($reply_address) {
	$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id() ;
	if $forum_id = 6 $reply_address =  'xxx@yyy.com' ;
	if $forum_id = 7 $reply_address =  'abd@hdhd.com' ;
	return $reply_address ;
}

add_filter ('bbp_get_do_not_reply_address', 'rew_no_reply_per_forum') ;

@mrwrongusername

is doable but would require a small amount of custom code beyond free help

I am replying my own post in case anyone has the same problem.
I solved my problem using the following script https://gist.github.com/ntwb/7797990
and I added style attribute for the html elements I need. Now everything works fine.

        // Span
        'span'             => array(
            'class'     => true,
            'style'     => true,
        ),

I have enabled the Visual Editor for topics and replies using the following:

function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

The problem is that only administrator can add text-colors font-styes and other things like that.

I am getting html format when a subscriber uses colors and font-styles
<span style=”color: #00ff00;”><span style=”font-family: ‘book antiqua’, palatino, serif;”>wfwffwwf</span></span>

WP Version 4.9.8
bbPress Version 2.5.14

I would really appreciate any help,
Thanks!

[Robin W]

this should do it – make sure anonymous is turned on to allow creation, then this stops topics being created – ie the topic form being shown

add_filter ( 'bbp_current_user_can_publish_topics', 'rew_prevent_anonymous' );

function rew_prevent_anonymous ($retval) {
	// prevent topic creation if user is not logged in
	if ( !is_user_logged_in()) {
		$retval = false;
	}

return $retval;

}

if you don’t know how to add to the functions file, use this plugin and put the code in there

Code Snippets

[Robin W]

do you know how to add a function to a function file if I gave you the code ?

[marketing050]

Okay, i used shortcodes for pages and redirected the index to these specific pages. But now the different users can’t see the specific topics. They are listed in the index with all the topics, but when you click further on a specific topic, I still get an 404 error. How do i change this?

[maxlevel]

I wonder If I can set an email address for bbpress that is different from my WordPress admin email address? Ideally I should be able to set a different email addresses per forum (to send notifications to the moderators and/or the keymasters).
Does anyone know of a plugin or some code to make that possible?

[Al_ambique]

I forgot to mention the other SQL script required to fix the import.
Only the first post of each topic was displayed. A quick glance at the database and I saw that post_parent of each reply was set on the forum and not the topic.
So here we go :

UPDATE wp_posts m1 
LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta m2 ON m1.ID = m2.post_id AND meta_key = '_bbp_topic_id'
LEFT JOIN wp_posts m3 ON m1.post_parent = m3.ID AND m3.post_type != 'forum'
SET m1.post_parent = m2.meta_key
WHERE m1.post_type = 'reply' AND m1.post_parent != m2.meta_value

Maybe I’m missing something, but I want to create two separate indexes (two separate sets of forums) on the same website. Right now, I have one set running using the short code [bbp-forum-index]. I assume if I use the same shortcode on a different page, I’ll get the same list of forums, when what I really want is a separate set of forums. This should be easy so I’m probably missing something… Help please! Thanks!

[pandraka]

I’m having the same issue, all topics created by participants get set to pending. Then a moderator needs to open the topic. It is frustrating the participants. I’m using the twentytwelve theme which has been customize. so far I’m not seeing any code setting topics to pending. I’m still digging, but if anyone has an idea where to look that would really help.

[jbjorgaard]

Using the following code, when I select Outfit Leader as the bbpress role, it displays ‘Member’ where it used to say ‘Keymaster’ on a forums post under the bbp-author-role class tag.

	function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
 
	$bbp_roles['my_custom_role1'] = array(
	'name' => 'Outfit Leader',
	'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() )
	);
	$bbp_roles['my_custom_role2'] = array(
	'name' => 'Chief of Staff',
	'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() ) 
	);
	$bbp_roles['my_custom_role3'] = array(
	'name' => 'Executive Officer',
	'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() ) 
	);
	return $bbp_roles;
	}
	add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );

Expected functionality: Custom Roles would replace the name of the role they are getting capabilities from. So in this case each forums topic by this user would have their avatar, name below that, role name below that, and finally IP address below that.

[Robin W]

most themes and plugins do not lose settings if you just deactivate, but as theme and plugin authors can write any code they like, I cannot guarantee that !

[Robin W]

ok, I presume you meant this code

//code to add tutor role 
 
function add_new_roles( $bbp_roles )
{
    /* Add a role called tutor */
    $bbp_roles['bbp_tutor'] = array(
        'name' => 'Tutor',
        'capabilities' => custom_capabilities( 'bbp_tutor' )
        );
 
    return $bbp_roles;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_new_roles', 1 );
 
function add_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role )
{
    /* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
    if( $role == 'bbp_tutor' )
        $caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
 
    return $caps;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'add_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );
 
function custom_capabilities( $role )
{
    switch ( $role )
    {
 
        /* Capabilities for 'tutor' role */
        case 'bbp_tutor':
            return array(
                // Primary caps
                'spectate'              => true,
                'participate'           => true,
                'moderate'              => false,
                'throttle'              => false,
                'view_trash'            => false,
 
                // Forum caps
                'publish_forums'        => false,
                'edit_forums'           => false,
                'edit_others_forums'    => false,
                'delete_forums'         => false,
                'delete_others_forums'  => false,
                'read_private_forums'   => true,
                'read_hidden_forums'    => false,
 
                // Topic caps
                'publish_topics'        => true,
                'edit_topics'           => true,
                'edit_others_topics'    => false,
                'delete_topics'         => false,
                'delete_others_topics'  => false,
                'read_private_topics'   => true,
 
                // Reply caps
                'publish_replies'       => true,
                'edit_replies'          => true,
                'edit_others_replies'   => false,
                'delete_replies'        => false,
                'delete_others_replies' => false,
                'read_private_replies'  => true,
 
                // Topic tag caps
                'manage_topic_tags'     => false,
                'edit_topic_tags'       => false,
                'delete_topic_tags'     => false,
                'assign_topic_tags'     => true,
            );
 
            break;
 
        default :
            return $role;
    }
}

so with that code loaded to my site, if I go to

dashboard>users>all users and edit a user, I can change them to the tutor role, and back again and it saves.

Can you confirm you are using the above code, and that it does not save if you perform the above ?

[Paal Joachim Romdahl]

I added a link to a private forum in the menu so that a logged in user could easily access the forum. Yes I could add a menu for logged in users, but I decided to instead redirect the not logged in users.

Here is the code I used:

// Redirect private bbPress forum to specific page.
add_action('template_redirect', 'private_content_redirect_to_login', 9);
function private_content_redirect_to_login() {
  global $wp_query,$wpdb;
  if (is_404()) {
    $host = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
    $path = dirname($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
    $forums = "forum";
    $location = "https://direitoshumanosangola.org/not-logged-in/";
    }
    if(strpos( $path, $forums ) !== false){
      wp_safe_redirect($location);
      exit;
  }
}

I made a tutorial for it here:
