Hello,

I followed the instructions at the link below to create a bbPress specific sidebar and it appears in the admin widgets section but the sidebar does not appear on the user side whether or not any content is added to that bbPress sidebar.

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

Can anyone help?

Thank you in advance,

Bharat

Creating Content

Hi there,

WP: 4.8.2
BBP: 2.5.14

After digging into lots of pages, I finally found an old topic here that describes the same problem I have. As it’s an ancient topic, I started a new one.

For topics with more than 1000 replies, when posting new replies, bbpress does not add the page number to the reply permalink. I did as the user Matrixd said here(of course for new versions of bbpress with different paths):

Hello again, finally after John’s helpful tip, I was able to fix the issue. I found where BBpress does the number formatting and disabled it. In wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-common-functions.php I changed this line:

function bbp_number_format( $number = 0, $decimals = false, $dec_point = '.', $thousands_sep = ',' ) {

to:

function bbp_number_format( $number = 0, $decimals = false, $dec_point = '.', $thousands_sep = '' ) {

This removes the comma from the thousands separator. Now all topics pages appear correctly. Thanks!

And the problem solved!
But this is a core hack, I want it as an additional function without touching core files.

It looks like a conflict is causing the WPML language parameter to be added before bbPress adds its /edit/ endpoint.

I suppose it’s possible inside bbPress to try and handle that differently, but I’m reluctant to make it too fancy since it might break something else.

Without really looking, my guess is that WPML should filter the permalink at a later priority (as late as possible) so that all other filters have a chance to hook in normally first.

@dreuezekiel – ok try adding this to your functions file

add_filter('bbp_before_has_forums_parse_args', 'order_by_freshness', 10, 2);

function order_by_freshness ($args='') {
	$args = array(
	'meta_key'   => '_bbp_last_active_time',
	'orderby'    => 'meta_value',
	'order'      => 'DESC',
	);
	return $args ;
}

if you don’t know how to do that, come back and I’ll wrap it in a baby plugin for you

ok, I can only imagine that the code is not in the right place, or that a character is affecting (one character out of place and nothing works !)

ok, remove the code above completely

I’ve put the code into a small plugin

go to

add visual aditor

and download it to your PC, noting where it is downloaded to

go to

dashboard>plugins>add new>upload plugin and upload the file you downloaded and activate

If that doesn’t work, then I’m stumped, but please come back and let us know

[Robin W]

I appreciate your frustration that you have not had answers posted, but not sure who you expect to answer them?

People write open source software in their own time and offer it for free. Under the open software foundation the software is offered without any warranty or support. You use it if you like and not if you don’t. It is perhaps a bit much to then expect software authors to answer every question someone might have about that software, or indeed having offered that software to the world for free, that they should invest any time to this unless they wish to. To then complain that they won’t tell you how to modify their error free code to do something you want but they didn’t design seems even more insulting.

If someone gave you a car for free, would you then tell them that they suck because they don’t come and service it for you? or whinge about it because they won’t re-spray it for you because you wanted it in red not green?

I am not a bbpress author, I’m just a guy who uses this software, and in turn spends some of my time in trying to help others. I am too frustrated that people who ask questions on here so rarely then try and help others, and wish that more people would give up free time to help people like you.

But I am just me and we are here to try and help where we can, but please lay off the insults and accept that free software does not come with a right to free support, and if people don’t answer your questions, it is maybe because wee like to help people who appreciate free help.

To work out an answer for you will probably take 1/2 hour of my free time. I’ll take a look tomorrow maybe.

ok, I’ve just loaded the code below (same as in the post above) to my test site and it enables the tinymce editor on my test site

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

//clean html when copy and paste into forum
function bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text( $plugins = array() ) {
    $plugins[] = 'paste';
    return $plugins;

}
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_tiny_mce_plugins’, ‘bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text’ );

So I suggest you start by doing some further testing

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

plugins

If themes don’t pinpoint the problem, deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Then come back

[richard.miller]

Thanks to both of you! I truly appreciate any and all help I can get, especially when i’m just trying to make the software work as designed.

So. The code supplied by @heathcliff2013 had no effect either, and I’m stumped.

Any other suggestions, dear forum?

[anhduy304]

@robkk Hi,I am following your instruction but this code

.bbpress a {
  color: red;
}

turns red.Could you tell me which classes should I add to have a full width forum ?

[Robin W]

@heathcliff2013

1. I am just a user of bbpress – ie I am one of the ‘We need to help each other I guess.’ I am only a moderator because I do a lot of support on here, and someone needs to clear out the spam.

2. I was not ‘waiting 4 days’ I do have a life outside of providing FREE support I give here – giving my time without any payback to help others, and I respond as I get time to those that I can contribute to.

3. writing sarcastic comments ‘Yeah forget about the fantastic support’ – shows you really don’t understand how open source software works – people write code for FREE which other then use for free. If you have paid for something, then you can start whinging about support, but if someone gives you a car, you don’t complain that they then don’t come round and service it for you, open source software is offered as is, additional help is totally voluntary.

[Anonymous User 12966443]

Yeah forget about the fantastic support. We need to help each other I guess.

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

//clean html when copy and paste into forum
function bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text( $plugins = array() ) {
    $plugins[] = 'paste';
    return $plugins;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_tiny_mce_plugins', 'bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text' );

Works for me but it does not show up when using mobile?

[Josh Campbell]

Just tested this out on a newer theme and the css should look like this:

.bbpress div#primary.content-area {
    margin: 0 auto;
    max-width: 980px;
    width: 100%;
}

Also, you can now just add this to Appearance > Edit CSS > Additional CSS.

[shashwatsrivastava48]

Hi all,

I have made a community using wordpress version 4.8 where I’ve created multiple forums, subforums. I want one particular user should have full control on one specific forum, basically one admin for each forum. Is it possible, is there any specific plugin for it.. or any code changes ?? I searched a lot but didn’t get any. Can anyone please help me on the issue ?

Thanks.

[grodanBoll]

when I used the short code with custom lost password page the users stop getting any emails.

the link,
http://mysite.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
gives me:
Request URL:https://mysite.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
Request Method:POST
Status Code:302 Found
Remote Address: xxxxxx

I’m running WP 4.9.1 with the Sport theme and BBPress 2.5.14

Everything works OK, but I have one user who has persistent problems posting. Every time he attempts to post a message, he gets an error saying, ‘ERROR your topic cannot be created at this time”.

This does not happen with any other users and the problem persists even after I deleted his account and created a new one with a different ID and password.

This would seem to point to some external cause, originating on his PC, but I can’t figure out what. I did suspect that he was possibly drafting his posts in MS Word and then copy/pasting them into his posts, which could have included MS control codes, a problem I’ve encountered before. However, after getting him to enter text directly in a new post, the same error message appeared.

This one has me stumped. If anyone has seen anything like it before, or has any ideas about what the cause is, I would be very grateful to hear.

Hi @louisgeorges

In fact you can do it 😎

1.- Copy the follow code and paste it in functions.php file (If you dont know about functions please read about it before do this):

//Restrict Topic and Replies Content For No-Registered Users
function pj_hla_logged_in_topics($have_posts){
if (!is_user_logged_in()){
$have_posts = null;
}
return $have_posts;
}
add_filter('bbp_has_replies', 'pj_hla_logged_in_topics');

With the above code your visitors (no registered users) will see only the topic title. The code locks topic content and all replies.

2.- After pasted the code, try open a topic so you will see a bbpress notice about “you dont have access to… etc something like that”. You need to find the file where is that notice, to edit it with anything you want, for example a link to the sign up page (Sorry, I dont remember the file name).

To show topics titles in your post or other pages you have 4 options:

1.- Add each URL in your blog post with the same topic title and link it to the topic (hard work but good if you like linkbuilding)

2.- Default bbpress shortcode: [bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id] – Display a single topic. eg. [bbp-single-topic id=4096] ( https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/#topics )

3.- @robin-w plugin: http://www.rewweb.co.uk/bbpress-additional-shortcodes/

4.- Hire a developer to create a shortcode to show last topics or whatever about topics.

Hope this can help you!

Hello @robin-w,

Again, I am sorry if I offended you. It was totally no my intention. I am sorry for that. I am actually a pro open-source. I have my open open-source projects and I collaborated in a lot of variety of them. I didnt post initially this thread, and I found it because I try to come often to look around in the forum to get knowledge and to see if I can help (with my current little knowledge that I have). The question that I post is not related with this topic. I posted here in bbpress, on other expert platforms, (even now I posted it in codementor to speed up the process) and I am always on the official irc chat of bbpress. But, so far no luck at all. That is why I started,few weeks ago, learning WP plugins and hooks. I was just expecting that bbpress has a more active (from my experience) support.

Once again, I am sorry to offend you or anyother one. No my intention.

[Robin W]

Thank you for apologising. Bbpress like all free open source software is written for free by people who like coding. People who like coding don’t always tend to be those who like doing support, so like much free software, they rely on community people to help in supporting. I hope that you will also feel that if you are helped in a support forum, you look to help someone else, as that is the only way that a ‘community’ can exist. If you simply just ask a question, get a response and then go away, it is hardly surprising that there is no-one helping.

Your question would require lots of time to understand and code, so I suspect that it will not get answered. You quickest may well be to duplicate using that code and then delete those not wanted.
