@yo35: It can be done. But, you’ll need to either mod the plugin or insert a custom function inside your child theme (while deactivating the plugin to avoid conflicts).

the original plugin code is:

function pw_bbp_shortcodes( $content, $reply_id ) {
	
	$reply_author = bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id );

	if( user_can( $reply_author, pw_bbp_parse_capability() ) )
		return do_shortcode( $content );

	return $content;
}
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_content', 'pw_bbp_shortcodes', 10, 2);
add_filter('bbp_get_topic_content', 'pw_bbp_shortcodes', 10, 2);

function pw_bbp_parse_capability() {
	return apply_filters( 'pw_bbp_parse_shortcodes_cap', 'publish_forums' );
}

What needs to change is the section returning the do_shortcode( $content ) as follows:

	if( user_can( $reply_author, pw_bbp_parse_capability() ) ) {
		$content = shortcode_unautop( $content );
		return do_shortcode( $content );
	}

This will remove the autop filter that adds <p></p> to the shortcode text.

Good luck.

Hi Guys,

I am trying to show last 3 recent topics in this form: http://prntscr.com/f00irx . Can anyone please tell me what should be the wp query or PHP code to get title, topic url, author avatar image & time so I can easily get the information and then show it in the layout I created in the above screenshot for showing last 3 recent topics?

Thanks

[yo35]

@Robin W: thanks for your answers. The “bbPress – Do Short Codes” plugin do the job.

However, there is still a problem: bbPress seems to have a kind of postprocessing that adds several <p></p> tags within the post content, including the sections that result from shortcode processing. Is it possible to disable this behavior?

Hello,

i would like to hide topic / reply IDs, what appear on the right starting with # .., like its here in the bbpress forums…

Is there a way, to hide the Ids only public, and only show them as admin?

Is there a code snippet to accomplish this?

Thx
Regards
Sally

We have issue with the time to first byte (TTFB) using the plugin BBPress. On the single topic page we get TTFB about 5-7 sec. After researching this issue we have found that the problem is in the file “content-single-topic.php” and the bottleneck is the function “bbp_has_replies()”.

After researching this function we have found that the problem is in the code:

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/template.php:184
$bbp->reply_query = new WP_Query( $r );

this row takes about 5-6 sec, so performing the query which retrieves the list of replies takes about 5-6 sec. Also we have dumped the query which is performed:

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts FORCE INDEX (PRIMARY, post_parent) INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON ( wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id ) WHERE 1=1 AND (wp_posts.ID = 515125 OR wp_posts.post_parent = 515125) AND ( ( wp_postmeta.meta_key = ‘_bbp_forum_id’ AND CAST(wp_postmeta.meta_value AS SIGNED) NOT IN (‘515120′,’515123’) ) ) AND wp_posts.post_type IN (‘topic’, ‘reply’) AND ((wp_posts.post_status = ‘publish’ OR (wp_posts.post_status = ‘pending’ AND wp_posts.post_author = 0) OR wp_posts.post_status = ‘closed’ OR wp_posts.post_status = ‘hidden’) OR (wp_posts.post_author = 0 AND (wp_posts.post_status = ‘private’))) GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date ASC LIMIT 56150, 25;

You can check a test here:
https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/NXIxm/https://www.bombingscience.com/forums/topic/tags-tags-tags/page/602/

We are using Version 2.5.12

Could you please check this issue and provide us solution in order to speed up this query?

it still does not work.

Any hints, whats wrong here?

[shlauncha]

I feel as though I’m losing my mind. There’s an option to enable the full TinyCME editor correct?

I’m looking at this: https://codex.bbpress.org/enable-visual-editor/

But when I do that, all I’m seeing is this:

I’ve tried the code in the codex on a base WordPress theme and all plugins disabled.

Is it possible to enable a more robust editor?

Thanks

[floriancam]

I dont know if I can answer my own question but I found a way to change this :

function modify_breadcrumb_args() {
    $args['home_text'] = 'newname';

    return $args;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'modify_breadcrumb_args' );

[lalit73545]

Hi, is this possible we can display forum details like , suppose we have two forum, name called forum1 & forum2, Forum1 has 5 topics & forum2 has 10 topic. so is This possible on bbpress we can display first Forum1 then their associate topic 5 then later on forum2 then their associate topic 10. Please do the needful for me. Thanks i am waiting for your reply….

[akira010203]

Hello!

I’ve added a new custom forum main page with some bb-codes instead of the default main page and I get a little disapointment, I can’t find out how to change the forums root page which redirect to mysite/forums instead of mysite/mynewmainforumpage.

Is it possible to do it?

Thanks!

[virusek89]

Is there anyone who can help me?

I found this code but he does not want to work

<?php
function hide_links($post_content) {
 if ( in_category( array( 'YOUR CAT ID', 'YOUR CAT ID') )) {
	global $wpdb;

		return ($post_content = !is_user_logged_in()?preg_replace('/<a(.*?)>(.*?)<\/a>/m', '<div style="color:red;font-size:12px;"> YOUR TEXT</div>',$post_content):$post_content);
	 }	

 }
  add_filter('the_content', 'hide_links')

?>

Are there any free tools/files/code out there to migrate a Kunena forum on a joomla site over to bbpress on a wordpress site ?

Thanks

[Col_Blimp]

If you post a hyperlink using the link button then it matters not if it’s http or https as it’s just a reference on the page that does not download anything but if you use the img button then if your site is SSL and the image comes from a source that’s not then the certificate throws warnings.

I don’t want to change all links to https as that overkill so I’m looking for the best way to just change links using the <img/> tag to https as using this does not work:

<img src="i.imgur.com/V6sg3f0.png" alt="" />

but does outside of WordPress ie in MYBB that is how you avoid certificate issues.

[Col_Blimp]

Hi Robin, you know images from my own site are all SSL so WordPress works in this instance but its with BBPress when the user makes a post and uses the insert image button to link an image from another site that the problems occour ie:

<img src="https://i.imgur.com/V6sg3f0.png" alt="" />
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/V6sg3f0.png" alt="" />
<img src="i.imgur.com/V6sg3f0.png" alt="" />

but this site here is changing the http to https in all links so the demonstration is a bit of a fail 🙂

But a non https url will not break a certificate as that only happens if the link is embedding something in the post.

[Robin W]

WordPress doesn’t seem to like it when you do that and wont show any image.

wordpress will quite happily show images with no domain name just the directory & file

eg

change

http://www.mysite.com/uploads/2017/march/pic.jpg  

to

/uploads/2017/march/pic.jpg

[Pascal Casier]

Hi Steve,

As Robin answered, you could look into his coding for the bbP Style Pack to see how it works.

There is also https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#8-add-edit-profile-to-a-wordpress-menu that might give you a hint.

Pascal.

[KurzBaginski]

The Code is available at https://github.com/georgemichaelis/bbpress-forced-subscription too.

Jörg

[dominikb]

@robin-w
I moved the code to the functions.php file now, still no reaction.

@casiepa
Yes, i followed the procedure for adding new names with existing capabilities, but they are not appearing.
Is it possible, that you cant add an existing capability to multiple roles?

[Pascal Casier]

Hi @fabianno0572,

The best way to put extra functions is in a functions.php in a child theme.

Some is explained here: https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/

[Pascal Casier]

Hi @sallyruchman,

There is a standard widget for bbPress, you can find info here: https://codex.bbpress.org/features/widgets/

You could also check this page https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#21-show-5-recent-topics-after-forum-index and e.g. topic 21 or so for different ideas.

Pascal.

[sally]

Hello Pascal,

Found the css code to adapt the image size.

bbp-reply-content img {
width:20%;
}

I dont use a plugin for this. Its just when people share images via links.

Thx
Sally

[Pascal Casier]

@dominikb-1,

Did you read till the end of the codex page ?

Custom Capabilities

[Pascal Casier]

@adiek84,
If you don’t know where to put the above code, you could also activate it in my ‘bbP Toolkit’ plugin. But if this is the only function you need, then copy the above in your child theme’s functions.php

[Robin W]

the code

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

in most themes should work fine. the wp-footer part was specific to the other poster.

The code goes in your child theme’s functions file

Functions files and child themes – explained !

[Robin W]

sorry, I can’t write bespoke code for everyone, so it’s in the pack.
