Well we’re all waiting for breaking news for bbPress release or rc4 but online timesheets it is not. And seeing as user onlinetimesheets’ system is built on Microsoft ASP.Net 4 it seems unlikely to make much use of bbPress..

Now, could we get the bbPress on wordpress.org to add the Plugin name (Forum title) to the email alerts? It’s tiring getting all the alerts with no context about which plugin they refer to.

Something like this should do it:

function add_the_plugin_name_please( $message, $reply_id, $topic_id ){
  $topic_title  = strip_tags( bbp_get_topic_title( $topic_id ) );
  $forum_title = bbp_get_topic_forum_title($topic_id);

  $messageheader = sprintf( __( 'New post in Forum "%1$s", Topic "%2$s".', 'wordpress-org' ),
    $forum_title,
    $topic_title
  );
  $messagefooter .= "\r\n" . "\r\n" . __('Thankyou for participating on wordpress.org', 'wordpress-org' );
    
  return $messageheader . "\r\n" . "\r\n" . $message . "\r\n" . $messagefooter;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_subscription_mail_message', 'add_the_plugin_name_please', 10, 3);

thank you very much for your help . But I follow the tutorial you introduced to do, there is no front-end changes. Do not you know why？
And this code( <?php bbp_the_content( array( ‘context’ => ‘reply’ ) ); ?> ) I have replacement the summernote code, and nothing changed!

[Robin W]

could be done with bespoke code, but beyond free help I’m afraid !!

[Robin W]

can only give you the area for html

so two files

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

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

Make a copy of the two files above, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/bbpress/form-topic.php
and
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/bbpress/form-reply.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

Suggest your html/php needs to replace

<?php bbp_the_content( array( 'context' => 'reply' ) ); ?>

but you’ll need to work out exactly how yourself !!

In the spirit of sharing stuff, if you work it out, please post the solution to this thread !!

I thought perhaps we were dealing with a configuration or rights assignment issue when trying to implement BBPress with LearnDash, but I get the same result using the single forum shortcode on a basic page on our site with no content protection.

Test Forum

[bbpressquestion]

I created a page with this code in it [bbp-register] and name this page forum register. However after updating the page and preview it, it keeps popping up my home page, not the forum register page. can someone help me with this? thanks.

[rotlichtluzern]

Hi

after the last update, i got an error on line 1800 in functions.php when opening the forum page. according to forum entry here i downloaded and installed beta3. it worked again.

but now bbpress widgets as well as the shortcodes like this:
[bbp_recent_topics max_shown=”5″]
they, spit out all topics instead of only 5…

what to do? install beta2? here is the link (NSFW!):

Home

i leave the error in there for a moment, so you can see it.

thanks!!

[tinuss]

Thanx, tried option 2, seems to work.
only one thing, those breadcrumbs it creates don’t seem to work.
I have created a page where I put the index shortcode and it shows three (test) forums, I can go into them but can’t go back to index.
I set those forums as “forum” or should they be categorie?

[haddlyapis]

Hi,
you provided me several months ago with a function that displays a search field in the bbp forum:

function rk_bbp_search_form(){
    if ( bbp_allow_search()) {
      ?>
      <div class="bbp-search-form">
      <?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'search' ); ?>
      </div>
      <?php
      } }
  add_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum', 'rk_bbp_search_form' );
  add_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_topic', 'rk_bbp_search_form' );

Although i appreciate this help, i have found that the relevansi search is better at finding all forum topics on my website. They have provided the code here to display a search box.
I would really like this to replace the one in the function above but am having a problem doing this.
I know this is cheeky, but can you help?

[Matt Pritchett]

Trying to diagnose a site why the pagination for the shortcode [bbp-topic-index] works only to page 2. Once you get to page 3+ (of 1200+ pages) it 404s. It only goes to page 2 regardless of what the per page setting is for topics. This is running PHP7.0.x, WP 4.8.1 and I’ve confirmed the issue on 2.5.12 and 2.6 RC3. Going back to 2.5.11 gives me the ksort expects param 1 to be an array error as do all other 2.5.x series. I have tested with all plugins deactivated except bbPress and tried all the usual default themes. Any thoughts?

[Julian45123]

No, I just want users can not access to the forums page. Because I embed the forums by shortcode manually.

[PinkishHue]

For anyone else looking for an answer I found it:

if( has_term( 'myterm', 'topic-tag' ) ) {
    // do something
}

[Divvy]

Done. Thank you anyway 🙂

Here goes the correct code for who might be interested:

function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
$args['tinymce'] = true;
$args['teeny'] = false;
$args['tinymce'] = array( 
'toolbar1' =>'bold, italic, blockquote',
);
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

[Divvy]

I’m using this guide to show TinyMCE in my bbpress forum:
https://codex.bbpress.org/enable-visual-editor/

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' );

Is it possible to remove or hide some buttons in Visual tab?

I want to hide those:

Can someone help me?

Thanks 🙂

[Robin W]

ahh!!

7.1 has some issues with bbpress (or visa versa)

so 3 fixes
1. downgrade to a lesser version of php
2. upgrade to bbpress 2.6rc3
3. in bbpress 2.5.13 in includes/forums/functions.php
change line 1851 from
$meta_query = $posts_query->get( ‘meta_query’ );
to
$meta_query = $posts_query->get( ‘meta_query’, array() );
and change line 1796 from
$post_stati = $posts_query->get( 'post_status' );

to

$post_stati = $posts_query->get( ‘post_status’ ); 
if (!is_array($post_stati)){
                                             $post_stati = array($post_stati);
}

[atmojones]

Hmmm @slomeli79 it’s been awhile since I worked on this. I see this code in my functions.php file but I hesitate to think the solution was this simple. Try it out, and if it doesn’t work I’ll check the rest of my code.

function custom_bbpress_maybe_load_mentions_scripts( $retval = false ) {

	return true;
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_maybe_load_mentions_scripts', 'custom_bbpress_maybe_load_mentions_scripts' );

[Robin W]

ok, you have two choices

either use the default wordpress lost password and register

http://mysite.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
http://mysite.com/wp-login.php?action=register

obviously changing the ‘mysite.com’ to your sites name

or create pages within your site and use the bbpress shortcodes
and then reference the page url

eg create a page called ‘password’ and have it’s permalink as say ‘password’ and put
[bbp-login] as the page content (you can precede this with any text you like, or have text after) eg

Lost you password?- enter your email and we'll send a new one straight to you
[bbp-login]

Then in the widget you would put

http://mysite.com/password/

you can do the same with [bbp-register] to display the register screen.

I’m looking for a way to automatically assign a forum’s custom taxonomy to all of that forum’s topics.

I recently registered a custom taxonomy that I want to share across all pages, posts, forums and topics, and since I create most of the content on my site, assigning the right taxonomy to pages, posts, and forums is easy. But I’d rather not have to manually assign taxonomy to topics, especially since any of my members can create a new topic at any time.

Is there a way to tell WP to get the taxonomy for the parent forum, and automatically save all topics in that forum with the exact same taxonomy?

(If it helps, this is the code I used to register a custom taxonomy to be used on all pages, posts, forums and topics):

// Add custom taxonomy
function postcats_init() {
	// create a new taxonomy
	register_taxonomy(
		'game-categories',
		array('post','page','forum','topic'),
		array(
			'label' => __( 'Games' ),
			'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'game-posts' ),
    'hierarchical'      => true,
    'capabilities' => array(
				'assign_terms' => 'edit_pages',
				'edit_terms' => 'manage_categories',
    		'assign_terms' => 'edit_pages'
			)
		)
	);
}

add_action( 'init', 'postcats_init' );

[daltmc]

I see that, at least it’s not an isolated issue. I did a similar work around with naming a page forum and using the index short code. We created so many test forums and such when we first had issues that it’s very cluttered. We’re working on limping along using only topics.

Are you on the newest version of wordpress? My theory is it’s either our premium theme or the new WP.

[sovvyg]

Hi,

I have no idea why but the forum/topic subscribe button is not appearing next to the breadcrumbs in bbpress forums as it should, i have enabled the functionality in the settings. This has never appeared but i’m probably missing something simple.

Is there a way to add this next to the forum title rather than in breadcrumbs? I’m not sure how to call it:

add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_title', 'n8_after_forum_title' );
function n8_after_forum_title() {

WHAT DO I ADD HERE??

	}

WP version: 4.8
BBpress version: 2.5.13

Thanks!
Lauren

edit: when a put all the codes for the custom capabilities in a plugin (so I remove it from the functions.php), I am finally able to change the custom capabilties (by changing them in this plugin).
Probably it’s because a plugin is loaded before the theme is loaded

[locutus1]

I’ve got bbp style pack already. Some things don’t work and it might be the fault of my host because I had another issue that was caused by my host. When entering a forum, “Create new topic” appears automatically. I would like to remove the automatic “Create new topic” message and create a “create new topic” button. bbp style pack makes the button but won’t remove the automatic message. Can anyone suggest another plugin that will let me do this?

Also, in some of my forums I would like to rename the button from “Create new topic” to something else but only in some of the forums. I’ve been told this can be done with CSS. Can anyone give me the code for this? Thanks.

[locutus1]

I had a lot of trouble getting registration to work on my site until someone told me my host doesn’t support “membership plugins” which I think means I can’t make login and register pages with short-code like [bbp-login]. So to log people in I just use the default WordPress login. I put “/wp-admin” at the end of my domain to load the page. Then I made a custom link to load it and did the same for register and reset password. Now people can log in and post.

[Andrew Leonard]

OK
Now I have removed the code above and reset PHP to version 7.0 and it is working
Is there going to be a fix so BBPress works with PHP 7.1?
