Hi, I’m using this code from @stagger-lee to enable ability to create featured images in topics:

Add Featured Image to New Topics in Frontend WYSWYG

When ever I create featured image, they all come out to 400px by 400px. Is there a way to set the featured images to a different size, such as 600px by 400px?

Thank you for any suggestions.

Hello.
I imported a series of topics in a CSV into a new forum that had 4 forums 2 topics.
The 50 topics showed up on the page section that had [bbp-topic-index] shortcode but not on the one with [bbp-forum-index]. I have uninstalled every plugin, no luck. Only the existing 4 forums and 2 topics display.
Quite frustrating – I hope someone reading this helps me. Alternatively, I will sadly remove the shortcode. I get error message [This forum is empty.] whenever I click forum that has the topics.
I use TownPress theme, Advanced Post Block, and bbp style pack if that helps.
Thank you for helping out.

you need top take out the “!important” in the rule in your Customizr Child Home style.css line 2858

to make it

#bbpress-forums ul.odd, #bbpress-forums ul.even {
  background-color: #EFEFEF;
}

and then add this rule

#bbpress-forums .super-sticky {
	background-color: blue !important;
}

[Robin W]

function my_bbp_no_reply_email(){
    $email = 'no-reply@sitename.com'; // any email you want
    return $email;
}
add_filter('bbp_get_do_not_reply_address','my_bbp_no_reply_email');

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

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

or use

I’m usually ok with using css in my child theme, but struggling with this.

I need to change the background color only of the sticky topics area here:

https://www.lifeleap.org/community/forums/forum/lifeleap-cafe/lifeleap-institute-related/

I have the background color set with this css (even and odd):

#bbpress-forums ul.odd

But I just can’t figure out how to change background color only on the sticky topics.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I got the editor and this plugin to work by adding a code to my themes functions.php (child theme if you use that)

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' );

It activates the TinyMCE editor in BBPress.

When a user quotes another post using the quote button, their post shows the bbcode as plain text. I tried to recreate the issue on my end with a test account (non-admin) in incognito mode, and was not able to recreate the issue. Any idea what could be causing it? (example linked below)

Wordpress version: 6.8.2
bbPress version: 2.6.14
Link: example post with issue

[Robin W]

since it is you asking 🙂

add_filter( 'bbp_make_clickable', 'rewst', 10 , 2 ) ;
function rewst ($ret, $text ){
	$ret = str_replace ('http://' , 'https://' , $ret);
	return $ret ;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

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

or use

But seriously, are you telling me that it is normal that if a user writes www.google.com on bbpress it becomes http://www.google.com and not https:?

[Ricsca2]

I couldn’t explain…
If I type www.google.com when I post the topic, it becomes http://www.google.com instead of https://www.google.com

Try writing a URL with only www and submitting the topic.

[Robin W]

This should do it

.bbp-topics .sticky a.bbp-author-link span.bbp-author-avatar {
    display: none !important;
}

[Robin W]

I’m just a volunteer here – I don’t think this will get added to the core.

so it will need code, and a plugin is just code with a wrapper.

If you are concerned about performance, you should be using a caching plugin

[andrew55]

I have this css in my child theme css file:

.bbp-topics ul.sticky .bbp-author-avatar {
    display: none !important;
}

But it doesn’t hide the avatar. Any suggestions on how to get this to work properly?

Sorry to bring this ancient topic up! But this issue is stil present after 11 years! It’s not a theme issue, I changed theme to the wordpress default.

Topics are sorted by freshness in each individual forum, but not in the forum index page at example.com/forum

I also added this in my custom plugin, bt no success:

function freshness_topic_order( $args ) {
		$args['meta_key']='_bbp_last_active_time';
                $args['orderby']='meta_value';
                $args['order']='DESC';  //change to ASC to put oldest at top
                return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_has_topics_parse_args','freshness_topic_order');

I get this warning in Search Console…

More than 2,000 of your forum pages are missing structured data for discussion forums.
Once implemented, Google can identify and display related online discussions on your site in relevant search results features.

And it redirects me to this guide:

https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/discussion-forum?hl=en&authuser=1

Is there anything I can do?

[thinlizzie]

Hi Robin, yes that’s correct. The previous system worked fine but was not really encouraging forum participation so it will be replaced.

The daily-limit is handled by a simple flag in the usermeta table, all good.

I’m really just asking if there exists a combo version of bbp_new_topic and bbp_new_reply for me to hook onto, or if I should simply hook onto both of those, separately.

eg.

add_action( 'bbp_new_topic' , 'my_reward_function' );
add_action( 'bbp_new_reply' , 'my_reward_function' );

function my_reward_function() {

	// check daily-limit flag, bail if set to today's date
	// update the user's reward info
	// set daily-limit flag to today's date
}

[Robin W]

.bbp-topics-front ul.super-sticky, .bbp-topics ul.super-sticky, .bbp-topics ul.sticky, .bbp-forum-content ul.sticky {
	background-color: transparent !important;
}

and for closed and sticky

 .bbp-topics-front ul.super-sticky.status-closed, .bbp-topics ul.super-sticky.status-closed, .bbp-topics ul.sticky.status-closed, .bbp-forum-content ul.sticky.status-closed {
	background-color: red !important;
}

I have disabled all plugins other than buddypress and bbpress.
Issue requires both to enabled. buddypress by itself does not cause this.

I am seeing this VERY HIGH log spam on every page load:

Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the bbpress domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Hello
My question is:
In the address

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

In the issue
25.Restricting User Access to the WordPress backend

Add this PHP code snippet so that only users who can only edit posts can access the WordPress admin section.
Which was introduced to prevent the logged-in user from accessing the counter of the following code

/**
* Redirect back to homepage and not allow access to
* WP backend for Subscribers.
*/
function rkk_redirect_admin(){
if ( ! current_user_can( ‘edit_posts’ ) ){
wp_redirect( site_url() );
exit;
}
}
add_action( ‘admin_init’, ‘rkk_redirect_admin’ );

The code works fine, but the bug is that:

Although it appears to prevent a common user from accessing the WordPress dashboard, the same user can easily bypass the code ban and log in to the dashboard by opening a new tab in the browser and entering the address

https://wordpress.org/wp-admin/

in that tab and pressing Enter. This is the bug in the above code.

The question is:
How can I change the above code to prevent the trick of logging into the dashboard as described above?

Thank you in advance for your advice.

[andrew55]

I have errors appearing on forum, above all the content: Warning:

Undefined array key "capabilities" in /home/lifeleap/public_html/community/wp-includes/class-wp-roles.php on line 292

Any ideas on what this error might be related or what I can do to troubleshoot/fix this issue?

Thank you for any help.

[Ricsca2]

Is it because of this option I set by chance?

Before a comment appears: Comment authors must have a previously approved comment.

I also set “Keep a comment in queue if it contains 2 or more links (a common characteristic of comment spam is a large number of links).”

and the post had 4 images loaded via code and HTML links.

Are forum topics and comments treated as if they were WP comments?

Thanks

Bonjour,

J’appelle sur mon site :
echo do_shortcode(‘[bbp-topic-index show="5" show_search="false"]‘);
Seulement le moteur de recherche s’affiche quand même, avez-vous une idée ou une solution svp ?
Merci

I’m calling on my website:
echo do_shortcode(‘[bbp-topic-index show="5" show_search="false"]‘);
Only the search engine is still displayed. Do you have any ideas or solutions, please?
Thanks

[Robin W]

For those who are less keen on code, or who install or already have

bbp style pack

then just go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form

and use option 6

Hi everyone,

I’d like to share a very useful snippet for bbPress that I had a hard time finding on Google, but which can save a lot of time.

For many communities it’s extremely helpful to have the “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” box checked by default. This way, users are automatically notified of new replies and are more likely to come back to the forum and engage in the discussion.

Here is a simple solution that works on the latest WordPress + bbPress. Just add it to your theme’s functions.php or into a small custom plugin:

// Auto-check the "Notify me of follow-up replies via email" box (topic + reply forms)
add_action('wp_footer', function () {
    if (is_admin() || !function_exists('bbp_is_subscriptions_active') || !bbp_is_subscriptions_active() || !is_user_logged_in()) {
        return;
    }
    ?>
    <script>
    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
        var t = document.getElementById('bbp_topic_subscription');
        if (t && !t.checked) t.checked = true;

        var r = document.getElementById('bbp_reply_subscription');
        if (r && !r.checked) r.checked = true;
    });
    </script>
    <?php
}, 99);

With this snippet, whenever a logged-in user creates a new topic or reply, the subscription checkbox will already be checked by default.
Of course, the user can still uncheck it if they don’t want notifications.

This small trick makes it much easier to keep members engaged and ensures they don’t miss important replies.

Hope it helps others too, since I believe this should be more widely documented!
