Now it’s fine. I made an error when copy paste the code.
It works perfectly, thanks a lot!

[dominikb]

in form-reply.php i find this line:

<input name="bbp_log_reply_edit" id="bbp_log_reply_edit" type="checkbox" value="1" <?php bbp_form_reply_log_edit(); ?> tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" />

it does not seem like, i can uncheck the box here.

I have my subscription boxes auto-checked via:

function pw_bbp_auto_checK_subscribe( $checked, $topic_subscribed  ) {

    if( $topic_subscribed == 0 )
        $topic_subscribed = true;

    return checked( $topic_subscribed, true, false );
}

is there maybe a way, to turn this around and use it on the log checkbox?

I’ve been fighting with how to enable the Topics CPT for all users in the dashboard and not having a great time. I thought I could, perhaps, filter the CPT registration to change the CPT caps and show_ui settings, but no luck.

Even when I am able to get the Topics CPT to display for all users by commenting out the lines noted below as a test:

// Register Topic content type
register_post_type(
	bbp_get_topic_post_type(),
	apply_filters( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', array(
		'labels'              => bbp_get_topic_post_type_labels(),
		'rewrite'             => bbp_get_topic_post_type_rewrite(),
		'supports'            => bbp_get_topic_post_type_supports(),
		'description'         => __( 'bbPress Topics', 'bbpress' ),
		// 'capabilities'        => bbp_get_topic_caps(),
		// 'capability_type'     => array( 'topic', 'topics' ),
		'menu_position'       => 999999999999,
		'has_archive'         => ( 'forums' === bbp_show_on_root() ) ? bbp_get_topic_archive_slug() : false,
		'exclude_from_search' => true,
		'show_in_nav_menus'   => false,
		'public'              => true,
		// 'show_ui'             => current_user_can( 'bbp_topics_admin' ),
		'can_export'          => true,
		'hierarchical'        => false,
		'query_var'           => true,
		'menu_icon'           => ''
	)
) );

Things still don’t completely work. Users can technically create a post, but can’t save the Forum in which the post is created.

The short of it is: I want users with the Participant Forum Role to be able to see the Topics CPT in the dashboard so they can create their posts here, mainly because it would be helpful for them to be able to Preview a topic before posting it. Out of the box, the front-end bbPress form does not allow for post previews.

Has anyone achieved this?

Using:
WP 4.8.3
bbPress 2.5.14

Hello, please how do I retrieve the user id of the last active user in a forum? To get the last active name requires the following code:
bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), 'type' => 'name' ) );
But how do I get the ID instead of the name?

[docaj]

Solved! Found an earlier post about a similar problem. I manually edited spam-prevention.php under Mojo Marketplace Plugin to remove all blocked words including breast. Then problem is gone. Strangely, I had uninstalled Mojo Marketplace long time ago and it does not even show up on my Dashboard. Apparently its codes are still there and working.

Hi

I happened to check a mail account we are not using yet, when we moved servers. It turns out there are quite a few emails in that account. They are all forum activity alerts coming from BBPress on the site. These are the kind of mails being received:

UserX wrote:

Hello to all in the group!

Post Link: https://www.juicy.io/groups/venezuela/forum/topic/presentacion/#post-33662

-----------

You are receiving this email because you subscribed to a forum topic.

Login and visit the topic to unsubscribe from these emails.

It seems to be sending these alerts to a user. But there is no ‘to’ username on the emails. I have done several searches on our user database and there are no users with that email address.

I have done a full database search for that email address and come up with nothing.

I have looked absolutely everywhere I can think of within WP admin, for any instance of that address, and can find none. Unless it’s buried away in some obscure corner of a plugin, I am pretty sure I have looked everywhere relevant that I could think of.

I am downloading the entire site, to do a search on that string within the site files, as a last resort. I’m not optimistic.

Can anyone point me in the right direction about this?

Many thanks for your time.

[mikedean]

A year later but here it is.

This assumes a drop down select menu has been added to the form-topic.php template. wp_dropdown_categories() is used to make a <select> element for all the terms in the categories taxonomy so users can assign the topic to a term.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_dropdown_categories

Then, the topic is assigned to the term they selected by hooking into the new topic process.

/**
 * Assign a taxonomy term to a topic after it has been selected in the front end (using a <select> element).
 *
 * @param Int           $topic_id               The id for the current topic being created.
 * @param Int           $forum_id               The id for the current forum the topic is being created in.
 * @param Int           $anonymous_data         ??
 * @param Int           $topic_author           The id of the user who created the topic.
 *
 * @see https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_dropdown_categories
 */

//Update the taxonomy terms when a new topic is created or edited.
add_action( 'bbp_new_topic', 'myprefix_assign_category_to_post', 20, 4 );

function myprefix_assign_category_to_post( $topic_id, $forum_id, $anonymous_data, $topic_author ) {
        
        //Get the category submitted by the user
        $taxonomy_name = 'category';                    //the slug, or machine name, or the taxonomy
        $term_id = intval( $_POST['cat'] );             //Get value from the <select> element as an interger

        //@TODO error checking if term or taxonomy does not exists (returns false if so)
        $term_object = get_term_by( 'id', $term_id, $taxonomy_name );

        //Replace the existing subject with the selected one
        wp_set_post_terms( $topic_id, array( $term_id ), $taxonomy_name, false );
}

I am using WordPress Version 4.7 And have installed bbpress version 2.5.12.Every thing is working fine but in edit profile page no edits are updating.I have checked it for both admin and participant role.After edit profile button submit it redirects to following url
http://mysite.com/forums/user/pro2/edit/?updated=true but nothing is changed actually.How can i solve this problem?pls help

[Robin W]

It is shocking how bad this forum aspect of WordPress is Amazing that consumers put up with it, really.

oh how I agree that something that has taken a lot of people a lot of time to write for free, is maintained for free, and supported for free, and has cost you nothing doesn’t do what you want. Absolutely disgusting and shouldn’t be allowed. Of course you could always crack the code open and help improve it, or perhaps it is easier to just easier to expect someone else to do that for you and just complain when it doesn’t.

[amitrwt]

What I want to do eventually is check whether a topic has a specific tag. Like we check with has tag.

if ( has_tag( $tag, $topic_id)) {
	echo "exists";
}else{
	echo "does not exists";
}

[Robin W]

you can always us this in your function file

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'old text' ) {
	$translated_text = 'new text';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

so you would have

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'by' ) {
	$translated_text = 'par';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

[Eric Malalel]

I use bbPress 2.5.14 on latest WP.
I have enabled TinyMCE with this code:

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

It works well when a user posts a new topic.
But when a user wants to reply to a topic, the tinyMCE editor is displayed but is not editable.
I can’t see any error in the browser console.
Please advise.

[Peter Hardy-vanDoorn]

Try this:

#bbpress-forums div.odd blockquote, #bbpress-forums ul.odd blockquote {
background-color: #fff; }

Also, you should always try to only use !important as an absolute last resort.

Hope that helps

[Robin W]

[aravoth]

So, I can style an .odd and .even forum differently, in this case to give forums on the the forums front page alternating colors, This also works for topics in the same way. And it carries over into replies, were the lead reply will have background-color: #fff;, and the next reply will have background-color: #000;, for example. What I am trying to do now is change the color of the blockqoute within the forum reply, to be the opposite of what the reply background is.

so if….

#bbpress-forums div.odd, #bbpress-forums ul.odd {
background-color: #000 !important;

}

then I would want something like…

#bbpress-forums div.odd, #bbpress-forums ul.odd, blockquote {
background-color: #fff !important;

}

For some reason I can not get the blockqoute background to change, at least the way I want it too. For some reason it changes the blockquote background globally. I feel like I am missing a CSS class here somewhere. Can anyone give me a hint at what I’m missing?

[sbmar]

I think I almost have this working on my site but I cannot get the form value for some reason:

$username = $_GET['bbp_search_by_user'];

If I type the value into the URL (/?bbp_search_by_user=someuser), then it works 100%… should be something silly, right?

I also added a member drop-down so when someone is searching they can choose from a listing of members that have already created at least one reply:

global $wpdb;

$sql = "SELECT DISTINCT
$wpdb->posts.post_author as id,
$wpdb->users.display_name as name
FROM
$wpdb->posts
INNER JOIN $wpdb->users ON $wpdb->posts.post_author = $wpdb->users.ID
WHERE
$wpdb->posts.post_type = 'reply' AND $wpdb->users.display_name <> ''
ORDER BY
$wpdb->users.display_name ASC";

$result = $wpdb->get_results($sql, OBJECT);
			
echo "<select name=\"bbp_search_by_user\">";
echo "<option value='ALL'>All Users</option>";
echo "<option value='ALL'></option>";
foreach ($result as $key => $value) {			  
   echo "<option value='" . $value->id . "'>" . $value->name . "</option>";
}
echo "</select>";

Anyone know how to get the $_GET[‘bbp_search_by_user’]; to work?

Here’s the code in my functions.php:

/* ADD SEARCH BY USER FUNCTION */

add_filter ( 'bbp_before_has_search_results_parse_args', 'ha_custom_search_by_username' );
 
function ha_custom_search_by_username() {
	//Get username from input on search page
	$username = $_GET['bbp_search_by_user'];

	$default_post_type = array( bbp_get_forum_post_type(), bbp_get_topic_post_type(), bbp_get_reply_post_type() );
	//check if empty
	if(!empty($username) && $username != "ALL"){
		//Make ID from username
		$user = get_user_by('slug', $username);
		$user_id = $user->ID;
	$args['author'] = $user_id;	
	}
	$args['post_type'] = $default_post_type;
	$args['orderby'] = 'date';
	$args['posts_per_page'] = '5';
	$args['ignore_sticky_posts'] = 'true';
	$args['order'] = 'DESC';

	return $args;
}

Hi, I put all my functions into snippet, and the snippet works fine for me.

However, in order to solve the video problem, which shows only code in the front page, (yet, it shows at the backend without problem), I tried to put the above code into the snippet, the result is that all contents in the bbpress forum went disappeared.

Could anyone advise what to do next?

The video code is like below.

Hi wpweaver,

Thanks for this. I’m gonna try your code. 🙂

[wpweaver]

I don’t think there is a plugin or existing feature that does this.

I’m really surprised that this isn’t a common question, as it is a real huge issue that allows spammers a backdoor to register as a user to your site. Very bad. This code will redirect all login and password attempts to a static page on your site which can use the regular bbp login, register, and pass shortcodes.

You can use this custom code:

<?php
// intercept the Register and Lost your password? links from the standard WP login screen

define( 'REGISTRATION_URL', 'https://example.com/register');

	add_filter('register_url','custom_redirect_login_register');
	add_filter('lostpassword_url','custom_redirect_login_register');

	function custom_redirect_login_register($reg_url) {
		return home_url( REGISTRATION_URL );
	}

	/**
	 * Redirects visitors to <code>wp-login.php?action=register</code> to
	 * <code>site.com/registration-page-name</code>
	 */

	add_action( 'login_form_register', 'custom_catch_register' );
	function custom_catch_register()
	{
		wp_redirect( home_url( REGISTRATION_URL ) );
		exit();
	}

	/*
	 * intercept bbforum.me/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword and
	 *           bbforum.me/wp-login.php?action=retrievepassword
	 *
	 */

	add_action( 'login_form_lostpassword', 'custom_filter_option' );
	add_action( 'login_form_retrievepassword', 'custom_filter_option' );
	/**
	 * Simple wrapper around a call to add_filter to make sure we only
	 * filter an option on the login page.
	 */
	function custom_filter_option()
	{
		wp_redirect( home_url( REGISTRATION_URL ) );
		exit();
	}
?>

There are articles on how do add custom code to your bbPress installation.

Note that this is an option provided with my plugin “Weaver for bbPress” which is a fully turn-key solution to creating a bbPress site. I have not created a stand alone version of this option yet.

[Siam ลอตเตอรี่]

if above that div id maybe you can directly add that html/php code and don’t forget when you update bbpress.

[jack_tyler]

Hi Guys,

I am wondering if is there any existing feature on the BBPress to have a login, register, forgot password, email confirmation only in front-end? I know that there are [bbp-login], [bbp-register], and [bbp-lost-pass] short-codes that you can place in the page so that it will display on the front-end but the issue is when user enters an incorrect password or account, it will redirect to admin login. What I wanted is to stay always in the front-end. Or do you have any suggestion what plugin I can use that and compatible?

Thanks,
jack

[sharojit]

I am working on a site and create two different forum named #1.Mental Health & #2.Staff. Also, create pages for both forums and show tropics from them using the shortcode. But the problem is it shows tropic from the different forum. Like in mental health page shows tropic from the staff forum. Here are those links and a screenshot too.

#1. Mental Health
#2. Staff

[jack_tyler]

Hi @siamlottery,

Thank you for your response. What I want to do is to add a custom HTML/PHP above the <div id="bbpress-forums"> as you can see on this screenshot https://www.screencast.com/t/C1AiIkH6

[aussiemike]

Hello
I am using the latest version of WP and bbPress with iThemese Builder theme.
Through the theme functions I am able to show all parts of the forum on a particular theme layout, apart from the forum index page when the breadcrumb ‘forums’ link is clicked. This takes me back to the main template layout which does not have the forum wigdets as required on all forum pages.
I also have the same issue with the search results.

I have tried the following code but as I am not overly familiar with bbPress conditionals it does not solve the problem. I believe what I am look for is the correct information to go into this line:
if ( is_bbpress() && in_category( ‘page’ ) )

// create view for forums
function custom_filter_category_layouts( $layout_id ) {
    if ( is_bbpress() && in_category( 'page' ) )
            return '599b46ad5fa63';

    return $layout_id;
}
add_filter( 'builder_filter_current_layout', 'custom_filter_category_layouts' );

Any advice appreciated.

Mike
