I created a custom page for the forum “home page”. bbPress has clickable breadcrumbs and “Forum” will load the default bbPress forum home, as such I added the following to my .htaccess to redirect the user to my custom page:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule /forums$ /the-forum

This redirects the user:
from: http://ok.thissiteworks.com/forums/ (bbPress forum home)
to: http://ok.thissiteworks.com/the-forum/ (custom forum home)

That works – but only for logged in users. When a user is not logged in the redirect does not work.

1. Can someone advise why this would not work for not logged in users?
2. Is there perhaps a better way to redirect the users to the custom page?

So I am trying your bbp style pack, it looks like I have a lot of options I’d like to use. Is there some particular short code I’m supposed to use? I tried:
[bsp-display-forum-index forum= ‘46,50,52,54,56,59’]
And in the bbp style pack settings -> Forum Templates, I changed it to “Alternative Forum Template 1” but I dont see any changes. Am I using the wrong shortcode?

style pack will work against the standard forum code, so if you have a forum(s) displaying without style pack being activated, then it should work against that url with the changes

ok, that is my plugin, and I’ll try to get to a resolution

It may be as simple as closing and restarting your browser, so try this first !!

If that doesn’t work…

Style pack works with many/most sites, but it can fail due to a myriad of reasons, including (but no means limited to) site permissions, other plugins and most often site themes where the theme author has altered bbpress files.

My plugin uses two different techniques to make changes.

For some I change how bbpress sends information by changing or overwriting bbpress code, for some I change what is called css, which your browser uses to display information.

Therefore some changes may take effect, whilst others don’t seem to.

Additionally you may have :

1. ‘caching’ software that speeds up the download of your site, but may not recognise and immediately make changes from my plugin
Do you know if you are using caching software?
2. Site permissions issues – you site might (quite validly for it) not allow my plugin to write code to certain areas
Try
Dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>css location
check the activate box and set the location to
wp-content/uploads/
and save these changes

For the template, are you able to look at the site files to see if your theme has a directory called bbpress ?

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

[Robin W]

And it doesn’t end up the same, not really. Everytime bbpress is updated now I have to hope 20 different authors of 20 different plugins also update their code in a timely manner, and if any of them decide to stop the project I now lose functionality.

not really here for a philosophical argument – that’s the way bbpress authors (which I am not) wrote it, and as free software they should be able to write what they want.

I just write some additional plugins which again I do for free and yes I have to update for free, and provide some support here for free.

No answer to the other ones? 🙂

correct place – I was guessing at whether the code will work, I’ll take a further look at it if I get a chance

[roby80]

Hi everybody, first post here! 😉

I hope somebody can help me, since I’m having problems with the translation of a new bbPress installation… It’s kind of strange actually, because it seems to translate only part of the strings, but if I check my .mo & .po files they’re fully translated, just how it should be.

I’ve been using WordPress for years but it’s the first time I used bbPress as well, so I followed these instructions religiously.
(I actually only had to change the directory in which I put the .mo & .po files to wp-content/languages/plugins, since putting them in wp-content/languages/bbpress/ – I had to create this folder to try – like written in the documentation won’t work. After that I tried to put them in every other “logic” place that came to mind with no success)

Here are a couple of screenshot to let me show my “half translated/half not” situation:
EDIT: img’s won’t work so here are the links

Thank you very much for any input!

@robin-w I did a little digging and I found the piece of code responsible for logging the user’s visit based on the current page $page_url = sanitize_text_field($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

Would you know how to edit that to fit for bbp_forum_permalink(); so that it logs for each individual forum because I have the CBXUserOnline shortcode in the loop-single-forums.php file so I was hoping that it would recognise the views for each individual forum. Hopefully I’m making sense lol

Please let me know if what I’ve said makes sense 🙂

[Robin W]

this should work

add_filter ('bbp_before_get_user_subscribe_link_parse_args' , 'change_subscribe_link' ) ;

function change_subscribe_link ($args) {
 $args ['subscribe'] = '<img src="http://www.mysite.com/image1.jpg" />' ;
 $args ['subscribe'] = '<img src="http://www.mysite.com/image1.jpg" />' ;
 
 return $args ;
}

[Robin W]

suggest you try this in your functions file

add_filter ('bbp_convert_date', 'rew_convert_date', 10 , 3 ) ;

function rew_convert_date ($time, $d, $translate) {
$d = 'G' ;
$time = mysql2date( $d, $time, $translate );
return apply_filters( 'rew_convert_date', $time, $d, $translate );
}

may or may not work !

Dear team,

I want to hide attachments and external Url’s for guest users, how can we do it, is there any plugin that can do it , or please send me code to achieve it.

Thanks in Advance.

On my forum, the timestamp on the posts are 7 hours in the past.
When a new post is made, it starts at “7 hours ago” rather than “just now,” “1 minute ago,” etc.

The general time is set correctly in the WP > Dashboard > settings and all other timestamps displayed across the site are accurate (messages, notifications, etc). Only notifications relating to bbPress are off by 7 hours.

This same issue can be found in an old thread post (Link below):

The time zone is off by 7 hours in my bbpress plugin forums

However, the solution in that post is outdated, since the code layout in has changed, and “line 178 in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-common-functions.php” no longer exists for manual alteration.

Can you please tell me which file I can edit in bbPress to manually subtract 7 hours from the freshness output timestamp of all future forum posts?

Thank you.

[Robin W]

just had a quick look at what was in the free version, and looks like the pro version may have what you want – it claims

Buddpress profile link integration (New in V1.0.4)
BBpress profile link integration (New in V1.0.4)
BBpress Online User Statistics (New in V1.0.5)

maybe worth looking at

CBX User Online for WordPress

[Robin W]

not within free help – code digging would be needed.

[Fabian]

Yes, BuddyPress registers its autoloader, but includes most files through BP_Component::includes() anyway. Thats only half-way implemented.

[Fabian]

@johnjamesjacoby thats not true, WP has a “polyfill” for autoloading, and actively uses it on every request, even on legacy PHP 5.2. So autoloading is officially supported.

These are first numbers about the impact of an unconfigured bbPress on a fresh WP server response time:

PHP 5.6 + opcache : +35 % SRT
PHP 7.0 + opcache : +28 % SRT
PHP 7.1 no opcache: +28 % SRT

As you can see bottleneck is loading and parsing. Note that the speedup of opcache in PHP 7 is about 6x.

[rogerlridge]

Thanks for the reply, I’m currently using that plugin but it doesn’t work the way I need it to. It tells me the number of users currently online but not currently viewing any particular thread, forum or page for that matter. But thank you for the suggestion. If you know of a way to maybe code it so that it does that please feel free to share whatever info you might have as it would be greatly appreciated! 😀

[moejonet]

because i cant edit my reply my correction:

function bbp_update_reply_position( $reply_id = 0, $reply_position = 0 ) {

    global $wpdb;
    
	// Bail if reply_id is empty
	$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $reply_id );
	if ( empty( $reply_id ) )
		return false;

	// If no position was passed, get it from the db and update the menu_order
	if ( empty( $reply_position ) ) {
		$reply_position = bbp_get_reply_position_raw( $reply_id, bbp_get_reply_topic_id( $reply_id ) );
	}
	
	$db_menu_order = $wpdb->get_var("select menu_order from {$wpdb->posts} where ID={$reply_id}");
	
	if($db_menu_order == $reply_position)
	    return (int) $reply_position;

	// Update the replies' 'menp_order' with the reply position
	wp_update_post( array(
		'ID'         => $reply_id,
		'menu_order' => $reply_position
	) );

	return (int) $reply_position;
}

[moejonet]

I would propose following changes in bbp_update_reply_position in bbpress/replies/functions.php:2128.

function bbp_update_reply_position( $reply_id = 0, $reply_position = 0 ) {

	// Bail if reply_id is empty
	$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $reply_id );
	if ( empty( $reply_id ) )
		return false;

	// If no position was passed, get it from the db and update the menu_order
	if ( empty( $reply_position ) ) {
		$reply_position = bbp_get_reply_position_raw( $reply_id, bbp_get_reply_topic_id( $reply_id ) );
	}
	
	$post = get_post($reply_id);
	
	if($post->menu_order == $reply_position)
	    return (int) $reply_position;

	// Update the replies' 'menp_order' with the reply position
	wp_update_post( array(
		'ID'         => $reply_id,
		'menu_order' => $reply_position
	) );

	return (int) $reply_position;
}

[moejonet]

There is an infite loop on reply update caused by buddypress activity from bbpress if bbp_thread_replies() is false.

activity tries to get reply position, in this call position is updated for the reply but we are still in edit_post action so wp_update_post is called recursively until server gives up.

Hello Team bbpress

I am using the plugin bbpress. I want to customise that view of forum similar to http://www.veggieboards.com/forum/index.php this link.

I have created the child theme and add the css folder and archive-forums.php file in the child theme. I am not able to customise plugin using css only because I want to change the structure. If I change plugin core file then future update overwrite my code and when I am place the complete plugin in child then its stop working and page become blank.

Please give me the solution I am waiting your solutions.

My bbpress plugin Version: 2.5.14

Wordpress Version: 4.8.2

Thanks
