would depend on what he is trying to fix, and how much you trust, and what ‘data’ you site holds that could be embarrassing. If you hold no client info other than say usernames, then you could take a more relaxed attitude.

I tend to work on test/dev sites rather than live sites, and I like to have both cpanel and ftp access to sites I am working on, but most of what I do is code, and the ability to back out stuff is key.

suggest you look to build a test/dev site and give him access to that.

Creating a Test Site

One other issue is how the forum list is generated, it seems it is invalid HTML having text in the

that is outside the
• elements.

  <ul class="bbp-forums-list">
  <li class="bbp-forum"><a href="forum-url" class="bbp-forum-link">forum-name (counts)</a>,</li>
  </ul>

  In 2.6 I am getting this:

  <ul class="bbp-forums-list">
  <li class="bbp-forum"><a href="form-url" class="bbp-forum-link">forum-name (counts)</a></li>,
  </ul>

  The seperator of a comma is being put after each li tag instead of inside of it.

Noticed when migrating from 2.5.12 to 2.6 beta 2 (and also in RC1 and RC3), that my custom CSS file in mytheme/css/bbpress.css is no longer being detected.

I am seeing that here as well… Since your post was never commented on, I don’t know if it was ignored or simply thought irrelevant. Or maybe missed. 🙂

Looking at the HTML between the old site and a test site running the SVN pull of 2.6, it seems that previously as part of the enqueue_styles() call, it generated:

<link data-asynced="1" as="style" onload="this.rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot;" rel="stylesheet" id="bbp-default-css" href="https://siteurl/wp-content/themes/mythemename/css/bbpress.css" type="text/css" media="screen">

Now it is generating:

<link data-asynced="1" as="style" onload="this.rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot;" rel="stylesheet" id="bbp-default-css" href="https://siteurl/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.min.css" type="text/css" media="all">

So, it is not looking in the site css folder, but instead pulling from the plugin folder.

Is this intentional? If not, is there a fix/workaround?

Hi!

I want to hide all the columns (Posts, Topics, Voices, Freshness) except the Forum and Topic.
Everything is working fine except the column size of Forum column is not changing. Here is the css:

/* To hide VOICE, REPLY, POSTS and FRESHNESS columns in bbPress */

li.bbp-forum-reply-count, li.bbp-forum-topic-count, li.bbp-forum-freshness {
    display: none !important;
}

li.bbp-topic-voice-count, li.bbp-topic-reply-count, li.bbp-topic-freshness {
    display: none !important;
}

li.bbp-forum-info,
li.bbp-topic-title {
	float: left;
	text-align: left;
	width: 100%;
}

/* End */

Please help.

Well just incase other people finds this thread.. My Template Part had bugs too.. Here is the one that worked:

<?php

/**
 * Single Thread
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

  // $threadURL = bbp_topic_permalink(); // Deprecated ////
  // $threadTitle = bbp_topic_title(); // Deprecated ////
  // $threadTIme = bbp_topic_post_date(); // Deprecated ////
  ///////////////// Thread Author Avatar URL ////////////////////////
  $user_id = bbp_get_user_id( $user_id );
  $authorAvatarURL = get_avatar_url( $user_id, 300 );
  ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  // $threadVoiceCount = bbp_topic_voice_count(); // Deprecated ////

?>

<div class="swiper-slide-item">
    <div class="icon-author" style="background-image: url('<?php echo $authorAvatarURL; ?>'); background-image: -webkit-image-set(url('<?php echo $authorAvatarURL; ?>') 1x, url('<?php echo $authorAvatarURL; ?>') 2x);"></div>
    <a href="<?php bbp_topic_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_topic_title(); ?></a></h2>
    <time class="data" datetime="<?php bbp_topic_post_date(); ?>"><?php bbp_topic_post_date(); ?></time>
    <span class="views"><i class="fa fa-comment-alt"></i><?php bbp_topic_reply_count(); ?></span>
</div>

The bbPress Functions does not want to be assigned to variable as Unlike the GET_ they do not return values, they echo.

Thanks.

[Babblebey]

Hello there,

Firstly thank you for viewing this thread, really appreciate.

I am trying to create a topic loop to display in my in development theme. I have created a template part in my theme-directory/bbpress/omna-forumthreads see below:

<?php

/**
 * Single Thread
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

  $threadURL = bbp_topic_permalink();
  $threadTitle = bbp_topic_title();
  $threadTIme = bbp_topic_post_date();
  ///////////////// Thread Author Avatar URL ////////////////////////
  $user_id = bbp_get_user_id( $user_id );
  $authorAvatarURL = get_avatar_url( $user_id, 300 );
  ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  $threadVoiceCount = bbp_topic_voice_count();

?>

<div class="swiper-slide-item">
    <div class="icon-author" style="background-image: url('<?php echo $authorAvatarURL; ?>'); background-image: -webkit-image-set(url('<?php echo $authorAvatarURL; ?>') 1x, url('<?php echo $authorAvatarURL; ?>') 2x);">
    </div><<?php echo $threadURL; ?>"><?php echo $threadTitle; ?></a></h2>
        <time class="data" datetime="<?php echo $threadTIme; ?>"><?php echo $threadTIme; ?></time>
        <span class="views"><i class="fa fa-comment-alt"></i><?php echo $threadVoiceCount; ?></span>
    </div>
</div>

And i believe this should work, But currently i have issues with the loop that should display it by driving the content from the template part. Here is my loops:

<div class="swiper-wrapper">
    <div class="swiper-slide">
       <div class="swiper-slide-container">
          <?php
             if ( bbp_has_topics() ):
                while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic();
                   bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/omna', 'forumthreads' )
                endwhile;
             endif;
          ?>
       </div>
    </div>
 </div>

Now i get a pass error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘endwhile’ (T_ENDWHILE) in C:\wamp\www\omna\wp-content\themes\omna\page-home.php on line 143

I have also tried the curly brace {} type of IF & WHILE expressions, still a parse error..

Please Help.

I seem to have an error with the page previews as you can see over here. As you can see in the first reply in this link, page preview for WP pages works fine, the problem only occurs with BBpress related urls (second post). In the image below I marked it with red:

When I disable the GP Premium plugin the preview dissapears and it only shows the title as an url inside a blockquote. BUT looking at the source code the wrong preview is still there. Changing class wp-embedded-content position: absolute; to position: relative; makes it visable again.

Disabling all plugins, switching to another theme or deleting all custom css is of no influence. WordPress and all plugins are up to date.

[alriknijdam]

As this is still not resolved I wrote a simple script to solve this issue. For those stumbeling up on this here it is.

$topic_id		= bbp_get_topic_id();
$reply_id		= bbp_get_reply_id();
$position_raw	= bbp_get_reply_position($reply_id, $topic_id);
// Remove the comma
$position		= str_replace(',', '', $position_raw);
// Devide by the number of posts per page, in my case 15
// I didn't test it but I believe you can also use: get_option( 'posts_per_page' );
$page_raw		= ceil($position / 15 );
if ($page_raw > 1) $page = '/page/' . $page_raw;
else $page 		= '';
$slug			= get_post_field('post_name', get_post($topic_id));
// Replace YOUR_WEBSITE_URL with your own or use: bloginfo('wpurl')
// to retrieve it, but don't forget to concenate
$correct_link	= 'YOUR_WEBSITE_URL/forums/topic/' . $slug . $page . '/#post-' . $reply_id;

You can probably place this inside some function but I placed it inside loop-single-reply.php and placed that inside my child-theme. In that case you also have to replace this:

<a href="<?php echo bbp_reply_url(); ?>" class="bbp-reply-permalink">#<?php echo bbp_reply_id(); ?></a>

with:

<a href="<?php echo $correct_link; ?>" class="bbp-reply-permalink">#<?php echo $reply_id; ?></a>

Hi,

I added Customfields to BBpress reply form by this code:

//Input on BBP reply form
function bbp_extra_reply_fields() {
$custom = get_post_meta( bbp_get_reply_id(), 'bbp_custom', true);
echo '<fieldset class="bbp-form bbp-form-add">';
echo "<p><input id='bbp_reply_custom' type='text' name='bbp_custom' value='".$custom."'></p>";
echo '</fieldset>';
}
add_action ( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_form_content', 'bbp_extra_reply_fields');

//Register to Detabase
add_action( 'bbp_new_reply', 'bbp_save_reply_extra_fields', 10, 1 );
add_action( 'bbp_edit_reply', 'bbp_save_reply_extra_fields', 10, 1 );
function bbp_save_reply_extra_fields( $reply_id ) {
if (isset($_POST) && $_POST['bbp_custom']!='') {
update_post_meta( $reply_id, 'bbp_custom', $_POST['bbp_custom'] );
}
}

//Output to BBP reply
function inputBBPreply_outputBBPreply() {
$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id();
$reply_custom = get_post_meta( $reply_id, 'reply_custom', true);
return '<div>'.$reply_custom.'</div>';
}

//Output to Buddypress activity
function inputBBPreply_outputBPactivity() {
//What should I write?
}

But this code dose not show at BuddyPress activity.

What should I write?

Thanks

Hi,

This topic is quite old but it seems to be the only one about displaying tagged topics count. How would you implement the query to count topic tags? Is it possible to create a custom shortcode to show the tag count? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

[timmoser]

Ahoy,
I am using

bbPress 2.5.14-6684
BuddyPress 3.1.0
bbp style pack 3.9.6
WordPress 4.9.8
running Bento (Child) theme
on this page bomb.bio/forum

I am having a problem with the insert/edit image button (in the text version the img button) not working. Image links added this way do not display.
Posting the same link without the tag automaticaly added when using this button works fine as long as they are in a new line.

Does anyone have any idea how I can get this to work? Even removing the misleading button or changing the button functionality so it wont add the tag which seems to make the link not work would be better than the current situation.

I can’t code. I am only able to copy paste and to some degree alter code that i am given. I do have a working child theme if that helps.

Thank you very much!!!
Tim

Hi there,
When users try to register, they get an email that requests them to follow a link to activate their account. The page it links them to asks for an activation key.
At no point in the email does it provide an activation key code (just a link).

How can I fix this problem so that users are able to register?

[Helmuts]

another sample of the latest forums page where the above mentioned bbcodes have been used: https://www.ibf.lv/svaigakas-foruma-zinas/ (Latvian business forum)

[Helmuts]

A quick update – ..this topic ranks in the top positions of Google on these keywords and needs updating.

My suggestion: set up plugin “bbPress Advanced Statistics” https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online/

and use the shortcode: [bbpas-activity] (you have to enable it first in settings under “extra” tab”

—

Sample (latest forum posts): https://www.lustjobs.com/latest-posts-custom-forum-view/

There are 2 bbcodes on this page:
[bbp-topic-index]
[bbpas-activity]

—

as for the default bb code: you have to use use [bbp-stats] not [bbp-statistics]

[eigodeasobo]

What should I do if I do not want to allow div?

// Div
'div' => array(
	'class'     => false,
	'style'     => false,
),

This is not it, right?

[eigodeasobo]

Hi bbpress

I want to escape html in topic and reply output, but I want to Embede media.

REPLACED this code which you can find inside[bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-topic-lead.php] file, opening via the editor.
<?php bbp_topic_content(); ?>
WITH THIS CODE

<?php
global $wp_embed;
$inputTxt = bbp_get_topic_content();
$escTxt = esc_html( $inputTxt );
echo '<div class="test">'.$wp_embed->run_shortcode( '[embed]' . $escTxt . '[/embed]' ).'</div>';
?>

But I can not it.

How do I write it?

Custom Capabilities

[Milan Petrovic]

bbPress has a login and registration widget include to use in the sidebar. It also has shortcodes to embed these forms into pages, so you can use that to make your login/register page and style it using CSS.

[Robin W]

you could move the plugins into the functions file if you really wanted to

it would all look very confusing and be very difficult to maintain
you might have to alter some code to stop conflicts
it would have no effect on speed, a function is a function wherever it runs
you would lose any updates for the plugins

generally not a good idea 🙁

[dedotombo]

Can’t find it, maybe it’s pulled from wordpress text domain directly? Maybe code tweaks are needed to translate it separately, could be.

[Milan Petrovic]

You can do it with some custom code to expand list of supported tags and attributes.

Here is the example of how to do it: https://bbhelp.club/answer/editing/how-can-i-expand-allowed-html-tags-and-attributes/220/

Hello everyone.
Website: Link
WordPress version: 4.9.8
bbPress version: 2.5.14

Despite reading many threads about this, I still couldn’t figure out a way to change the language of the forum to hebrew. I will work you through what I did:

1. Download bbPress.

2. Add all the pages (login, register etc.) to the menu. (since the website is in hebrew, you can the pages find it under the second last menu item).

3. Download the hebrew .po and .mo files and put them in the directory /wp-content/languages/bbpress with the proper name (bbpress-he_IL.po and bbpress-he_IL.mo)

4. Check the websites register and login pages, still in english.

5. Edit “wp-config.php” file and added “define(‘BBLANG’, ‘bbpress_he_IL’);”.

6. Check the websites register and login pages, still in english.

Also things I have tried:
– Putting the .po and .mo files under /wp-content/languages/plugins/.

– Made sure I don’t have a translation update under “Dashboard -> Updates” in wordpress.

Important Note:
The hebrew is not 100% finished, but from this guide I understood that it doesn’t matter as long as I manually override it.

So the bottom line is – I really need help figuring that out. What am I missing?
Thanks for everyone who read and help,
Eitan.
