Thanks for the link. I will check out your plugin. It may be what I need. Though still wondering about access control.
I am mostly confused by the “FORUM ACCESS” that is described here,
https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/#5-%c2%a0forum-visibility-and-access
It talks about viewing and posting permissions but doesn’t say WHERE it is. It is very frustrating.
Anybody know if these settings really exist and WHERE they are. Thanks.
When I use your code above, I get the 3 last posts without a link on the date/time.
When I am not using your 3 last posts code (different site) from above, bbpress naturally links the last post.
How would I best go about removing just the link from a single last post in that example?
I’ve figured that I could use your code as above but change to ($count == 1). I’m obviously not experienced with writing code but to me it seems an excessive way to go about it.
The topic ID is a changeable box, so lets you change the id number. Lots of code would be needed to get it to work for titles, but this code will show the topic name in the box at the bottom
add_action( 'bbp_reply_metabox', 'rew_topic_title' );
function rew_topic_title ($post_id ) {
$reply_topic_id = bbp_get_reply_topic_id( $post_id );
?>
<p>
<strong class="label"><?php esc_html_e( 'Topic Title:', 'bbpress' ); ?></strong>
<label class="screen-reader-text" for="bbp_author_id"><?php esc_html_e( 'Topic Title:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label>
<?php bbp_topic_title ($reply_topic_id) ; ?>
</p>
<?php
}
Put this in your child theme function file
Functions files and child themes – explained !
in place of your code put back the original
<?php bbp_forum_freshness_link(); ?>
and then add this to your functions file
add_filter( 'bbp_get_forum_freshness_link', 'rew_freshness_last_three' , 100, 6) ;
function rew_freshness_last_three ($anchor, $forum_id, $time_since, $link_url, $title, $active_id ) {
//set up and run a query to get a list of all topics in this forum that this user can see
// Setup possible post__not_in array
$post_stati[] = bbp_get_public_status_id();
// Super admin get whitelisted post statuses
if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster() ) {
$post_stati = array( bbp_get_public_status_id(), bbp_get_private_status_id(), bbp_get_hidden_status_id() );
// Not a keymaster, so check caps
} else {
// Check if user can read private forums
if ( current_user_can( 'read_private_forums' ) ) {
$post_stati[] = bbp_get_private_status_id();
}
// Check if user can read hidden forums
if ( current_user_can( 'read_hidden_forums' ) ) {
$post_stati[] = bbp_get_hidden_status_id();
}
}
// Parse arguments against default values
$r = array(
'post_parent' => $forum_id,
'post_type' => bbp_get_topic_post_type(),
'post_status' => implode( ',', $post_stati ),
'ignore_sticky_posts' => true,
'posts_per_page' => -1
);
// Create a new query for the topic list
$get_posts = new WP_Query();
$topics = $get_posts->query( $r ) ;
//var_dump ($topics) ;
//now run through this list and get the last active date of each topic
foreach ($topics as $topic) {
$id = $topic->ID ;
$last_active = get_post_meta( $id, '_bbp_last_active_time', true );
$curdate = strtotime($last_active);
$show[$curdate] = $id ;
}
if (!empty ($show)) {
//so now we have a list of dates with topic ids, so we need to find the latest 3
arsort($show);
$count=0 ;
foreach ($show as $topic) {
$count++ ;
?>
<a href="<?php bbp_topic_permalink($topic); ?>"><?php bbp_topic_title($topic) ?> (<?php bbp_topic_last_active_time($topic); ?>)</a>
<?php
if ($count == 3) break ;
}
}
else echo 'No topics' ;
}
It has to sort through all topics for all forums to work this out, so it may slow your forums index display and get worse as your forum content grows.
the page is a virtual page
you can make it an actual wordpress page by following
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
Item 3 method 2
I’ve managed to find a solution, I will add styling later to both topic title and date.
<a href="<?php bbp_forum_last_reply_url(); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_last_topic_title() && bbp_forum_last_topic_title(); ?> (<?php bbp_forum_last_active_time(); ?>)</a>
I’d still love to find a way to display 3 last posts rather than just one.
Is it possible to post your final, working code used?
not quite sure what you last sentence means, but in essence if
dashboard>settings>forums>forum root slug>forum root equals ‘forums’, then create a page with the permalink of ‘forums’ and put
[bbp-forum-index]
in it. You can then do your seo on that page
If you are using yoast seo, you may want to add this plugin as well – I haven’t yet looked at it, but seems to do some seo stuff on topics etc.
BBpress Addon For Yoast SEO
user will get forum access as per
dashboard>settings>forums>auto role – you can change this to blocked if you don’t want automatic access.
The rest of your request would require some bespoke code, which is well beyond any free help I’m afraid.
On the forums index under Last Post I have:
“Title Of the Thread That Was Updated Most Recently”
“17 hours, 11 minutes ago”
I am wanting to put the two on a single line.
eg. “Title of the Thread (7 hours, 11 minutes ago)”
The area of the loop-single-forum file is as follows:
<li class="bbp-forum-freshness">
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_freshness_link' ); ?>
<?php bbp_forum_freshness_link(); ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_freshness_link' ); ?>
<p class="bbp-topic-meta">
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_author' ); ?>
<span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author"><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?></span>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_author' ); ?>
</p>
</li>
I’ve tried editing this quite a bit but all attempts have failed. Any tips or feedback on how I can display the Thread Title (time posted) on a single line would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Thanks, Robin. I think I’m using a few of your plugins as well. 🙂
The way I approached this plugin is that it’s only use is to print the url of the user profile. As you can see, no surrounding a tag and no anchor text. That means you can put it anywhere inside of your own links, which is probably even easier than trying to specify that with a shortcode attribute.
So, if the logged in/logged out part were added, it would still break, just in a different way. 🙂
The idea is that, if you need to check for logged in/logged out status, you probably need to do it for multiple elements of your site. In that case, a separate plugin that does that is more useful and will work in harmony with this one.
Anyway, that was my thought process. Happy to hear other thoughts.
I started with something very simple, so know the amount of work to publish a plugin and understand all the processes to that point – congratulations !!
you can fix the broken part by only executing if the user is logged in eg
change
function bbp_profile_link_shortcode() {
$link = bbp_get_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ) ;
return $link;
}
to
function bbp_profile_link_shortcode() {
if (!is_user_logged_in()) return ;
$link = bbp_get_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ) ;
return $link;
}
This makes the function not display if the user isn’t logged in
use this in your functions file and change the address to what you want
add_filter('bbp_get_do_not_reply_address','my_bbp_no_reply_email');
function no_reply_email(){
$email = 'noreply@yourdomain.com'; // any email you want
return $email;
}
you can change that default to email address as well with :
add_filter('bbp_subscription_to_email','my_bbp_subscription_to_email');
function my_bbp_subscription_to_email(){
$email = 'noreply@yourdomain.com'; // any email you want
return $email;
}
just loaded that plugin to my test site, and with auto-embed on it works fine.
This
<p>https://photos.app.goo.gl/pOeSirvJb5oC7kFC2</p>
displays the embed just fine.
So all we now need to do is work out the difference between my test site and your staging site !!
When you’ve come back on the Q’s above, I’ll do some more digging.
untested by this should work
//change topic order
add_filter('bbp_before_has_topics_parse_args', 'rew_topic_order_by_meta');
function rew_topic_order_by_meta ($args) {
$args['meta_key'] = 'put_meta_key_here' ;
$args['orderby'] = 'meta_value' ;
$args['order'] = 'DESC' ; //or ASC if needed
return $args ;
}
just put your meta_key where it says
Hi @brent0r
I made the following adjustment in my child-theme´s loop-single-forum.php and styled with CSS.
This code will place all elements in the right order to have simple CSS adjustments make it all work as expected.

you have total height constrained by
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum {
border-top: 0;
height: 90px;
}
so
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum {
height: auto !important;
}
Line 4255 of your theme Pixiehuge has
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum li {
height: 100%;
display: flex;
display: -webkit-flex;
flex-direction: column;
-webkit-flex-direction: column;
justify-content: center;
-webkit-justify-content: center;
}
The height : 100% is the issue
You need to put
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum li {
height: auto;
}
or
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum li {
height: auto !important;
}
(Try without the !important first)
into your theme’s custom css, or the custom css part of my bbp style pack plugin
you can simply filter this in your theme’s function file.
not tested but
add_filter( 'bbp_number_format', 'rew_number_format', 10 , 5) ;
function rew_number_format ($number_format, $number, $decimals, $dec_point, $thousands_sep) {
$thousands_sep = '' ;
return apply_filters( 'rew_number_format', number_format( $number, $decimals, $dec_point, $thousands_sep ), $number, $decimals, $dec_point, $thousands_sep );
}
I’ve fixed that in the style pack plugin with version 3.7.2
for anyone using the function above it should read
function rew_forum_order_by_freshness ($args) {
$args['meta_key'] = '_bbp_last_active_time' ;
$args['orderby'] = 'meta_value' ;
$args['order'] = 'DESC' ;
return $args ;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_has_forums_parse_args', 'rew_forum_order_by_freshness');
which just changes the order, rather than the previous function which overwrites all the parameters submitted by subscriptions
it’s caused by
#bbpress-forums .reply {
margin-left: 0 !important;
width: auto !important;
}
which says it is inline code.
The width: auto !important needs to be width :100% !important.
Auto makes it only as wide as it needs to be, so for short sentences it truncates.
But I’m also getting an error saying that your “sydney-child-theme/style.css could not be loaded”
I was able to edit the style.css to get what I was looking for. Line 207. Compare and change.

Hello,
I have a issue, I want to have a code who works like this:
If user registered on English version – redirect to custom English registered successfully page
If user registered on French version – redirect to custom French registered successfully page
So far I have made this below:
function bp_redirect($user)
$redirect_url = “”;
if (defined(‘ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE’)) {
switch (ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE) {
case ‘fr’:
$redirect_url = “https://mysite.com/fr/enregistrement-avec-succes/”;
break;
default:
$redirect_url = ‘https://mysite.com/registration-successful/”‘;
break;
}
bp_core_redirect($redirect_url);
}
return $redirect_url;
}
add_action(‘bp_core_signup_user’, ‘bp_redirect’, 100, 1);
Unfortunately it is not working and I do not know what do do more to make it work.
Language plugin is WPML the language pages are http://www.mysite.com/fr , http://www.mysite.com/es etc,
Please help me, I really need this script to be working.
Thank you so much
The use of actual [code][/code] tags that everyone is familiar with. Smaller font or font size option for the code tags. Word wrap for the code tags.
Thanks!
