Thank you MBV!
I inserted the CSS below, and it worked!

.comment-list .edit-link, .reply {
	position: relative;
	right: 0px;
	top: 0px;
}

Hi there,

I have been using wordpress for the last year. In October I took over the completion of a site for a company I am working for. I set up a forum on the website using bbpress. All has worked fine until recently. Yesterday my boss pointed out an error on the forums page. See error here

I began trying to fix it by remaking the page, using different shortcodes and changing/refreshing settings. All my other shortcodes that I’m using on my website are working fine, and when I use a shortcode for a different plugin in the same place on this page, it works fine. The shortcode I have been using is [bbp-forum-index]. I don’t know what caused it to stop working, as I have not installed any new plugins since before it has stopped working.

WordPress 4.9.6 running Sydney theme.

[MBV]

It’s because you have this conflicting CSS in your stylesheet, line 3023

.comment-list .edit-link, .reply {
    position: absolute;
    right: 20px;
    top: 22px;
}

[yso1]

Fixed it myself. Extending on benklocek s code, and also translating, added to themes functions.php

function my_custom_roles( $role, $user_id ) {
if( $role == ‘Keymaster’ )
return ‘Sjef’;

if( $role == ‘Spectator’ )
return ‘Observator’;

if( $role == ‘Blocked’ )
return ‘Utestengt’;

if( $role == ‘Participant’ )
return ‘Deltager’;

return $role;
}

add_filter( ‘bbp_get_user_display_role’, ‘my_custom_roles’, 10, 2 );

Peace!

This is how I’ve converted/copied it so far… Not exactly sure how I would add classes so I can tweak the output via css. I’m a PHP novice. And did I modify all the right fields? I looked at Creating a widget tutorials and modified what i think to be the appropriate code

[tyrsdei]

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/where-is-the-code-for-the-bbpress-widgets/ finally found answer here, for location.
Best suggestion is probably to make my own plugin that adds the widget, right?

[tyrsdei]

Hi, I’d like to make a custom widget with the default bbpress forum list widget as a code starting point. Where would I locate these, and where should I place them once I make it? Should i turn it into a personal plugin so i can use it on other sites if I wish?

It’s just that the default one is meant for a side bar, and I want one for under my header on my main page.

[MBV]

How did you guys enable ajax for buddypress group forum?
That link to https://cloudup.com/czqFBqJE8TE is expired so I can’t see the code that was edited. Are you able to add it again here?

[EGF]

I was able to resolve the issue by adding a conditional statement to check for bbpress search results using bbp_is_search_results(). The theme i’m using doesn’t play well with bbPress

<?php if ( !bbp_is_search_results() ) : ?>	
    
   <?php endif;?>	

[EGF]

When I perform a search, I get duplicate search results.

One set of results have no sidebar (full page width) and immediately below that I get a duplicate set of search results with the sidebar widgets. I am using a bbpress.php file in my child theme. It appears to be using that.

Here is my bbpress.php file:

<?php
/* Template Name: Page: bbpress.php */

global $data;

get_header(); ?>

<div class="page-wrap">

<?php get_template_part( 'framework/inc/slider' ); ?>
<div id="page-body" class="page-body">
    
    <div class="container">
				
		<div id="page-title">
		<hgroup>
		   <h2>Fax Software</h2>
		   <h1>Community Forums</h1>
                </hgroup>
		</div>
			
		<?php if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) 
             {yoast_breadcrumb('<p id="breadcrumbs">','</p>');} ?>

		<?php echo do_shortcode( '[bbp-search]' ) ?>  
				
		<div class="row">
			<div class="span9"> 
						
			<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
					<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>><?php
						the_content();
						wp_link_pages(array('before' => 'Pages: ', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>
					</article><?php
					if(!$data['check_disablecomments']) {
						comments_template();
					}
  				endwhile; endif; ?> 
			</div>
 			<?php get_sidebar('forums'); ?>    
			 
		</div>
	</div>
	
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

I do not currently have a loop-search.php file in my child theme.

I have added a acf galley field to the user profile page using the acf plugin by setting it to show on the user profile page.
The field is showing when I click ‘edit’ to edit the profile but the it isn’t working, when I try to add images they don’t show.
Do I need to add custom code for it to work? What is the issue here?

[ikhaismail]

Hi @tazogamer. I tried your code to change user’s permalinks from nicename to ID’s. Yeah, the permalinks is changed, but the page its redirect is not found. Do you have any idea about this?

[keshabee]

or possibly disable the website URl Filed area and hide it

I’ve been digging around trying to find a way to move topics between forums and found a nice way to do it with php – I’ve posted the code and explanation here in case anyone is struggling:

Bulk Move bbPress Topics PHP

[MWCreative]

Just in case anyone needs to alter the forum of topics manually with PHP:

1. Find the Forum ID you’re moving topics to.
2. Create a function to search for your required topics and set the ‘post_parent’ as the forum ID. (sample below)
3. Set the topic’s post meta fields ‘bbp_topic_forum’, ‘_bbp_topic_forum’ and ‘_bbp_forum_id’ as the Forum ID.
4. Repair the forums (tools->forums)

After these steps you should see your topics in the correct forum!

Place in functions.php file of your child theme and modify to your needs, then call the function:
** Disclaimer! I’m not responsible for breaking your site! backup your install before using this code to change your topics! **

function mwc_change_forum_topic_ties() {
        
        // 18 was my target forum ID.  get yours.
	$forumid = '18';
	
	$args = array(
		'post_type' => 'topic',
		'post_status' => 'publish',
		'posts_per_page' => -1,
	);

        /* uncomment this to filter your topics by something

        $oldForumID = '10'; //change this to target a specific forum
        $args['meta_query'] = array(
                'meta_key' => 'bbp_topic_forum',
                'meta_value' => $oldForumID,
                'compare' => '='
        );

        */
	
	$query = new WP_Query( $args );
	
	if($query->have_posts()):
		while($query->have_posts()):
			$query->the_post();
			$theid = get_the_ID();
			
			$theargs = array(
				'ID' => $theid,
				'post_parent' => $forumid
			);
			
			wp_update_post($theargs);
			
			update_post_meta($theid, 'bbp_topic_forum', $forumid);
			update_post_meta($theid, '_bbp_topic_forum', $forumid);
			update_post_meta($theid, '_bbp_forum_id', $forumid);
			update_post_meta($theid, '_bbp_topic_id', $theid);
			
		endwhile;	
	endif;

The only thing that I found has to go away 100% is IP-logging.
It is no longer legal to display IPs publicly like bbPress currently does.

On my site it was pretty simple to do using this:

add_filter( 'bbp_current_author_ip', function() {
	return '127.0.0.1';
} );

[agricolan]

This code works fine:
https://www.reach22.com/r22/forums/topic/tree-/?action=bbp_subscribe&object_id=2009&object_type=post&_wpnonce=c78cb75b54

whereas the equivalent shortcode:
https://www.reach22.com/r22/sessions/heathland/?action=bbp_subscribe&object_id=2009&_wpnonce=c78cb75b54&object_type=post
gives a 403 error

Grateful if anyone could give me a steer on how to resolve this?

Thanks

Hi!

I am trying to make any topics and replies submitted on the front end have a default category (I have extended the custom post type of bbPress to support categories). This works for everything submitted on the back end, but not everything submitted on the front end. I have played around with this a lot, and have not made any progress.

I am using WordPress 4.9.5, bbPress 2.5.14 and the site I am working on (locked so this link probably won’t do any good) is https://gateway.aishasalem.com

    // adding possibilities to have categories for custom post types
    public function gt_custom_post_type_categories() {
      register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'category', 'topic' );
      register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'category', 'reply' );
    }
    add_action( 'init', 'gt_custom_post_type_categories', 11 );

And this code to assign the categories as default when a post is saved / published. It works on the back end, but only partially on the front end.

    // setting default post catagory when saving
    public function gt_set_default_category( $post_id, $post, $update ) {

        // Slugs of the custom post types
        $slugs = array('topic', 'reply');
        // current post type
        $current_post_type = $post->post_type;

        // If this post isn't a custom posty type, don't update
        if ( !in_array($current_post_type, $slugs) ) {
          return;
        }

        // Sets the default category depending on the current post type
        switch ($current_post_type) {
          case 'topic':
            $default_category = 'livingroom-topics';
            break;
          case 'reply':
            $default_category = 'livingroom-replies';   // does not hook in on the fron end
            break;
          default:
            return;
        }

        // sets the default category
        $default_term = get_term_by('slug', $default_category, 'category');
        wp_set_object_terms(get_the_ID(), $default_term->term_id, 'category');
    }
    add_action( 'save_post', 'gt_set_default_category', 9, 3 );

I have tried hooking into ‘bbp_new_reply’ but this doesn’t seem to help (maybe I am doing it wrong). Do you have any advice of how to do this? Where to hook into? If it should be a filter and a function of a different form (if so, please give as much info as possible, I am new to php wordpress and especially filters)?

Thank you so much!!

Hello,
I have a bbPress site. I want to change some role permission.
1. Participant Role will be able to delete their post and topic.
2. Annonymous user can delete their post and reply.
For number 1. I tried to follow this post but i am very confused. I added this code to theme child function.php

add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_trash_link', 'topic_dont_delete');
add_filter ('bbp_get_reply_trash_link', 'reply_dont_delete');

function topic_dont_delete( $args = '') {

		// Parse arguments against default values
		$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'id'           => 0,
			'link_before'  => '',
			'link_after'   => '',
			'sep'          => ' | ',
			'trash_text'   => esc_html__( 'Trash',   'bbpress' ),
			'restore_text' => esc_html__( 'Restore', 'bbpress' ),
			'delete_text'  => esc_html__( 'Delete',  'bbpress' )
		), 'get_topic_trash_link' );

		$actions = array();
		$topic   = bbp_get_topic( bbp_get_topic_id( (int) $r['id'] ) );

		if ( empty( $topic ) || !current_user_can( 'delete_topic', $topic->ID ) ) {
			return;

		}
		}

				// Process the admin links
		$retval = $r['link_before'] . implode( $r['sep'], $actions ) . $r['link_after'];

		return $retval ;
	}
	
	function reply_dont_delete( $args = '' ) {

'</a>';
		}
		}

		// Process the admin links
		$retval = $r['link_before'] . implode( $r['sep'], $actions ) . $r['link_after'];

		return $retval ;
	}

But as I understood that, it was trashing post not deleting them. What I have missed? This code didnot worked for me. May be I have missed some steps.

And for 2, I don’t know if its possible or not. Searched a lot but haven’t found any solution yet. My understanding is annonymous is not a role, nore a user. So how we can achieve that?

Thank You

Hello,

I use Forum Migrator, but when i try to import user.
Appear this error:

it’s just 130 user! Not big deal

The was wrong thing I forgot; for some reason I had issue with it causing a [shortcode] not to work, basically was masked in some way. Love to use jetpack feature but I need the other widget more right now which allows members to upload images.

[Robin W]

This can be done, but requires you to be able to use FTP and edit a file

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/content-statistics.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-statistics.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this.

so open the file and you will see starting at line 17

<dt><?php _e( 'Registered Users', 'bbpress' ); ?></dt>
	<dd>
		<strong><?php echo esc_html( $stats['user_count'] ); ?></strong>
	</dd>

remove this and save the file back to wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-statistics.php

Robin, I installed the bbp-style-pack plugin. But there is not option to edit a single forum link. I saw options to change home link and forums link.

I created a Single forum page with short code: [bbp-single-forum id=12]. I disabled the forums slug on the bread crumbs
step 1: Home Page › Student Forum
step 2: Home Page › Student Forum › Features of Site Wide Forum

From here when I click on the student forum it redirects me to the student forum and not the page I created with the student forum short code in it.

wordpress version: WordPress 4.9.5
bbpress version: Version 2.5.14

I created a Single forum page with short code: [bbp-single-forum id=12]

from the single forum page I navigate to one of the topics. when I click on the single forum page link it redirects me to the single forum but not to the page I created. I disabled the forums links in the bread crumbs. Is there a way to edit the link for the single forum so that I could point it the page I created.

I have been trying to identify location and code to change in order to fix padding problem in the body of content/replies forum. Lack of padding makes the first letter of content to be hidden by arrowhead shape /line separating post message from author/date column.

How could I totally eliminate such vertical grey line/border, and edit/change padding so post text does not appear attached to left?
