I’m trying to add a parent/child relationship between bbpress forums and a custom post type I’ve created. Is there a way to do that, currently I can only make forum a child of another forum?

I’ve tried adding a custom meta box that would allow that:

function my_add_meta_boxes() {
	add_meta_box( 'lesson-parent', 'Module', 'lessons_attributes_meta_box', 'forum', 'side', 'high' );
}
add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'my_add_meta_boxes' );
function lessons_attributes_meta_box( $post ) {
	$post_type_object = get_post_type_object( $post->post_type );
	$pages = wp_dropdown_pages( array( 'post_type' => 'lesson', 'selected' => $post->post_parent, 'name' => 'parent_id', 'show_option_none' => __( '(no parent)' ), 'sort_column'=> 'menu_order, post_title', 'echo' => 0 ) );
	if ( ! empty( $pages ) ) {
		echo $pages;
	}
}

This shows the metabox and I can select the CPTs from a dropdown list, they are not saved. This should be because the forum post type has hierarchy=>true. So I’ve tried to disable it using the below code, but it doesn’t work:

add_action('registered_post_type', 'disable_hierarchical', 10, 2 );

// Runs after each post type is registered
function disable_hierarchical($post_type, $pto){

    // Return, if not post type posts
    if ($post_type != 'forum') return;

    // access $wp_post_types global variable
    global $wp_post_types;
    $wp_post_types['forum']->hierarchical = false;
}

The above code works fine with the page post type, but not with the forum. What’s special about it that I’m missing?

I took the phpBB.php modification. I replaced the names of 3 tables in the database: from “xoops_bb_posts” to “posts”, from “xoops_bb_posts_text” to “posts_text”, from “xoops_bb_topics” to “topics”.

I am working on a converter, converting a forum category -> OK, the first error appears when it starts to convert topics:

Błąd bazy danych WordPressa: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'INNER JOIN posts_text AS posts_text USING (topic_id) WHERE posts.post_id = topic' at line 1]

It seems to me that the problem is because the “newbb” system uses two tables to display the response content: xoops_bb_posts and xoops_bb_posts_text. The structures are both here; http://www.kulturystyka.org.pl/newbb_table_structure.txt

[expectancy]

Sharing this here in case anyone else has this issue. It’s a combination of using bbPress with either the bbPress Toolkit or the code snippet to use the TinyMCE editor in place of the standard editor.

When using the TinyMCE editor, clicking “Reply” to a thread (using nested threads) would move the reply box to be under the thread, but the box itself loses the text area so you can’t type anything in.

The workaround is to remove and reenable the TinyMCE instance. In the bbpress/templates/default/js/reply.js file, add these two lines to the “try” block (line 38):

tinymce.get(‘bbp_reply_content’).remove();
tinymce.execCommand(‘mceAddEditor’, false, ‘bbp_reply_content’);

[drbgaijin]

I should add that I can see the “Reply E-mail body” in the settings. I see “Topic url: [reply -url]”
Is there another shortcode that would make this an active link?
I am totally at a loss with coding stuff myself, so if there is an answer to my main question, I hope it is a simple one.

ping… anyone? the above post is correct. Both code options no longer work and second options generates a 500 error.

[katmac_aus]

BBPress is redirecting my users to their profile when logged in. I want specific user roles to get redirected to a specific page in the site. I’ve tried the following function in the theme functions.php file that normally works but it is being ignored.

function my_login_redirect_employers() {
  if ( current_user_can('employer') ){
      return '/welcome-employers/';
  }
}
add_filter('login_redirect', 'my_login_redirect_employers',10,3);

WP Version: 4.7.3
bb Version: 2.5.12
Theme: Uncode 1.4.2 – compatibility confirmed
bb Forum Root: “forums”

I’ve had some difficulty setting up and styling my bbPress forums root page, similar to this user: how-to-actually-partner-root-with-a-wp-page/

I have since figured out how to establish a custom WP page as a root for my forum. I had to match the slug declared in the forum settings, AND use the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode. I thought it was either/or. If I only matched the slug, I would just get an empty page. If I just used the shortcode, I would have inconsistencies in the bbPress breadcrumb.

Now that I have declared a custom root, I’m getting my styles ignored or rejected or something. I have my page options set to hide the page title, WP breadcrumb, and some “inline” CSS to hide the menu. (My client needs a custom menu.) These options and styles work on all pages except for the forums root. They just get ignored.

I tested with fresh pages built from scratch multiple times to see where the problem was. I can use the shortcode just fine, but then my custom page is no longer my root page. As soon as I set my custom page’s slug to match the slug in the forum settings, I lose my styles.

How can I get a custom forum root that also has custom styles?

What I want: (Visually at least)

Hi There,

My client had reported a strange issue that started recently. If I navigate to the forum page, then login to WP, the WP admin bar displays at the top as normal. When I navigate back to the forum page after logging in, the admin bar does not show up on this page only until I refresh the page. At first I thought it was a caching issue with a Autoptimize cache plugin but it still occurs after I deactivate.

There is an error logging for bbPress repeatedly:
[04-Apr-2017 17:56:26 UTC] WordPress database error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘))) AND hn09m16p3_posts.post_type IN (‘topic’, ‘reply’) AND (hn09m16p3_posts.po’ at line 1 for query SELECT hn09m16p3_posts.* FROM hn09m16p3_posts FORCE INDEX (PRIMARY, post_parent) WHERE 1=1 AND (hn09m16p3_posts.ID = 8481 OR hn09m16p3_posts.post_parent = 8481) AND ((())) AND hn09m16p3_posts.post_type IN (‘topic’, ‘reply’) AND (hn09m16p3_posts.post_status = ‘publish’ OR hn09m16p3_posts.post_status = ‘closed’ OR hn09m16p3_posts.post_status = ‘reported’ OR hn09m16p3_posts.post_status = ‘acf-disabled’ OR hn09m16p3_posts.post_author = 217 AND hn09m16p3_posts.post_status = ‘private’ OR hn09m16p3_posts.post_author = 217 AND hn09m16p3_posts.post_status = ‘hidden’) ORDER BY hn09m16p3_posts.post_date ASC made by require(‘wp-blog-header.php’), require_once(‘wp-includes/template-loader.php’), apply_filters(‘template_include’), WP_Hook->apply_filters, call_user_func_array, bbp_template_include, apply_filters(‘bbp_template_include’), WP_Hook->apply_filters, call_user_func_array, bbp_template_include_theme_compat, BBP_Shortcodes->display_topic, bbp_get_template_part, bbp_locate_template, load_template, require(‘/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-topic.php’), bbp_has_replies, WP_Query->__construct, WP_Query->query, WP_Query->get_posts

I used the repair forums tools one by one and now all the forums/topic/replies content is not displaying but the count is correct for each forum/topic, when I go into any of the forums/topics it says “Oh bother! No topics found here”.

I’m currently setting up a test site to strip it down and see if I can find the cause but I wanted to post this to make sure it isn’t a general bbPress issue with the SQL statement. Any help would be appreciated.

Wordpress version: 4.7.3
bbPress version: 2.5.12

Hi,
That will require some coding…

For the login popup, you could look at https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/modal-login-cant-find-plugin-wp-modal-login-mentioned/ or https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#12-adding-a-modal-popuplogin

For the new topic button, there is some reading for you here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-add-new-topic-button/

[yolandal]

When I use this code it also hides the name and emailaddress?

[Pascal Casier]

Hi @fastk9dad

I must have missed your original request, but it should be sufficient in your case to have added the string you want just in front of the subscribe. Just add this to your functions.php:

function casiepa_add_before_forum_subscribe ($args = array() ) {
  $args['before'] = '  |  ';
return $args;
}
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_forum_subscribe_link_parse_args','casiepa_add_before_forum_subscribe');

Hi,

I tried to add a custom css style to roles label, and it looks cool, but It doesn’t look right in mobile devices. I tested several codes without success.

May anybody help about it?

1.- Right now looks like this:

2.- I would like to have something like this:

Code:

{text-align: center;
 margin: 0 0 5px 0;
 padding: 1px;
 font-style: normal;
 border: 3px double #050505;
 background-color: #fff;
 color: #070707;

Hi,
Check out https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/importing-data/import-forums/
If your source forum is not in the list, there is a custom importer.

Let us know if it works or not !

just looked,

The foreach loop produces

class="bbp-author-avatar"
class="bbp-author-name"
class="bbp-author-role"

so

class="bbp-author-"

is never matched as you have ” at the end

function hw_get_reply_author_link($link_class) {  
 $link_class = preg_replace('/ class="bbp-author-/',' class="myclass-',$link_class);  
   return $link_class;  
}  
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_author_link','hw_get_reply_author_link'); 

will get you

class="myclass-avatar"
class="myclass-name"
class="myclass-role"

if that’s what you are after

Hi,
That will need some programming probably. The starting point has nothing to see with bbPress, so you could refer to these examples as this is all about the WP admin bar: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_node

Hey Guys,

maybe you can help me. I registrate now a new subdomain on my Homepage. I installed there a new version of Wp. After them i download the bbpress Plugin and everything works fine in the installation. Now when i go to “Forum” it jumps zu a empty page that says “The site http://www.gamingtournamentleague.com does not work”. Wenn i go the “New Forum” i can add a Forum but wenn i go than to preview it shows me again “The site http://www.gamingtournamentleague.com does not work”.

I changed the theme, i also deleted the plugin and i use shortcodes but nothing works…

@guybrushpixelwood – thanks for posting this, that is really useful.

Howevber it will get overridden by bbpress updates, so either have that file in a bbpress folder in your child theme

Functions files and child themes – explained !

or put this function in your child theme’s functions file

add-action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_admin_links' , 'gbpw_add_ratings' ) ;

function gbpw_add_ratings () {
	if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { 
		echo '<span class="bbp-admin-links">' ;
		the_ratings(); 
		echo '</span>' ;
	}
}

[Robin W]

hmmm….you can add lots of css to lots of stuff. suspect you’d need to invest some time in sau adding firebug for firefox and using that to examine and change css elements.

This may also help

Hello all,

I ma trying to change just the page title for the Forums archive but not finding anything that is current and works.

Is there possibly a modern day version of @lynq ‘s code that works with WP 4.7.3 and bbpress 2.5.12?
Or am I doing something wrong?

I’ve tried it and other variations gleaned from other posts like these:

functions.php
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_forum_archive_title’, ‘ddw_bbpress_change_forum_archive_title’ );
function ddw_bbpress_change_forum_archive_title() {
return ‘Your Forums Archive Title Here’;

and

single.php
<?php if ( is_front_page() ) { ?>
<h1 class=”entry-title”></h1>
<?php } else if (get_post_type() == ‘forum’) { ?>
<h1 class=”entry-title”>Forum Title</h1>
<?php } else { ?>
<h1 class=”entry-title”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php } ?>

The functions.php breaks WP and the single.php or forums.php does nothing.

Any pointers would be great,

Thanks

WordPress 4.7.3 running Lana Blog theme.

I am unable to make the sidebar work on my forum pages. It works if I use short-codes for forums, but you know it is not practical. I tried editing page.php with code if_bbpress. That gives me a sidebar below the forum.
I tried bbpress wp tweaks and nothing happened.
I copied pagewith sidebar template from the theme and renamed it as bbpress.php, nothing happened.
Can anyone help?
I am absolutely new to coding.
I wish to have same sidebar as that of blog.
