Solved:

}

?>

Add to loop-single-reply.php for BBPress:

<?php echo get_fav_or_unfav_button_for_post( reply ); ?> or in the bbp_reply_menu, which i’m still trying to figure out:

add my own menu option to the bbp-reply-header

Apologies all and good catch, Robin!

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with your version of the code, but for the sake of alternatives here’s a fix for what I posted originally:

function bbpress_enable_rest_api() {
	$types = array(
		bbp_get_reply_post_type(),
		bbp_get_forum_post_type(),
		bbp_get_topic_post_type(),
	);

	foreach ( $types as $slug ) {
		$definition = (array) get_post_type_object( $slug );
		$definition['show_in_rest'] = true;
		$definition['rest_controller_class'] = 'WP_REST_Posts_Controller';
		register_post_type( $slug, $definition );
	}
}

add_action( 'bbp_register_post_types', 'bbpress_enable_rest_api', 11 );

Beyond that, the links you shared (in terms of mixing in extra info such as the author’s details) look solid to me 🙂

[Robin W]

ok, I’ve just loaded your code to my test site, and I can set a user to member and it holds

Suspect either theme or other plugins

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

[Robin W]

you would need to know how to copy a bbpress template, modify it and then load it to your child theme

so you would need FTP access to your site

If that sound possible, the come back and I’ll try to help further

posting this untested code in here just so I don’t lose it !

<?php
					$user_id = wp_get_current_user()->ID;
					$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id() ;
					$topic_author = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id ) ;
					$is_topic_author = ($topic_author == $user_id ? true : false) ;
					if ( bbp_allow_topic_tags() && current_user_can( 'assign_topic_tags' ) && $is_topic_author ) : ?>

[Robin W]

Shortcodes

[bbp-topic-form] – Display the ‘New Topic’ form where you can choose from a drop down menu the forum that this topic is to be associated with.
[bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id] – Display the ‘New Topic Form’ for a specific forum ID.

[Robin W]

ok, I can’t immediately see an error in your coding

two thoughts

1. does professional stick – I know you don’t want to use that, but it would help show if it is the whole code or just part that is not working.

2. since lots of people copy code, it may be that your function names are not unique – eg function add_new_roles may exist elsewhere.

Try making them unique

ie change

function add_new_roles

to

function kajzh_add_new_roles

and change then filter that calls that function

add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_new_roles', 1 );

to

add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'kajzh_add_new_roles', 1 );

and do this for all the functions – each has a name and then a filter that calls it.

Hi Robin and Barry, thanks for the help so far, it is working now. Though I have noticed that the API is not as robust as I expected it to be. For example the /reply endpoint doesn’t show the details of of the person who posted the reply (author) and moreover, say I wanted to view all the replies for a particular topic; can this be done?

[soundboy]

Hi, I’ve been working on migrating my large Drupal site to WordPress. I’ve managed to do the majority of the site but now I’m stuck on the forum.

I’m using Drupal 6 and Advanced Forum, I have 26K topics and 700K replies.

I’ve tried running the script on a couple of different local machines, and on my VPS server where I’ve had the most success; the script does the 26K topics smoothly but then hangs pretty early in the replies, around the 700th row. Locally, it gets stuck before. Weird thing is that a couple of times I’ve left it running for longer, eventually it manages to go past that sticking point and just continues extremely slowly.

Also: I’ve read the troubleshooting instructions, which make sense but I don’t understand how to pinpoint the line numbers within the database, specifically these points:

• “Now drop all the rows in the database that are not in the range of rows that failed during import”
• “Once you have your list of offenders and the import has finished delete these rows from the database and test again to make sure it completes without hanging

So question #1: if I look at my database in phpMyAdmin for example, and I know the problem is in rows 700-799 of my replies, how do I locate these rows?

Question #2: Is there a way to know for sure if the problem is performance/memory related or if it’s an encoding issue in a specific row? I don’t know if I should be directing my efforts to solving performance issues or pinpointing problem rows.

And finally question #3: Does anybody here have experience with these issues and would be willing to be hired to do this migration? Contact me if you do please!

Thank you very much for any help you can provide 🙂

[TheDream18]

Thanks Robin, Code worked

[TheDream18]

Yes. I used this code as topic that i did not get any support, only there alone topic active. If count voice =1 , will display [No support] to user know that noone in help theme issued yet.

[Robin W]

the code for if… needs two = signs so try

function none_people_discuss() {
$voice_count = bbp_get_topic_voice_count(); 
if ( $voice_count == 1 )
echo '<span class=”no_support”>[No support]</span>';
}
add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_title', 'none_people_discuss' );

[Robin W]

that code should put [no_support] before the topic title – is this what you are trying to achieve?

[TheDream18]

Hello,

I used this code for clear Topic info. To show topic is not supported yet, only creater topic voices in current. I checked code was correct, but it did not work, anyone can help please?

function none_people_discuss() {
$voice_count = bbp_get_topic_voice_count();

if ( $voice_count = 1 )
echo ‘<span class=”no_support”>[No support]</span>’;
}

add_action( ‘bbp_theme_before_topic_title’, ‘ none_people_discuss’ );

[kajzh]

Hello,

I am running bbPress v2.5.12 on WordPress 4.7 with a child theme I’ve developed based on Imaginem Themes’ Sentric Theme.

The problem:
In my child theme’s functions, I have added the following code to make two custom roles, Professional and Member, for my Q&A/”Ask the Expert”-style forum called “Ask a Professional.” Essentially, Members can make threads asking questions, but only screened Professionals have the ability to reply and provide answers.

I want everyone to automatically be assigned the Member role upon registration. Then I can manually “upgrade” their roles to Professional once they’ve been successfully screened. However, when a user registers and logs in, they inherit Member capabilities, but are not assigned the Member role. Manually selecting the user and assigning them the Member role doesn’t work; their role immediately reverts back to “— No role for these forums —”

When I select the user and manually assign the Participant role, the role “sticks” — meaning, it doesn’t revert back to “No Role.” However, the “Member” capabilities remain.

Does anyone know why this problem persists and how to fix it? This is the final thing that needs to be ironed out before my site goes live. 🙂 Thank you!

Troubleshooting:

1. I’ve tried to disable plugins and see if any of them are causing this issue. This hasn’t yielded any different results.
2. I’ve checked with the Twenty Sixteen and Twenty Seventeen theme.

[Robin W]

quickest way is to add this to your .css file

.bbp-topic-started-by {
  display: none;
}

[Robin W]

I found that the above code took away the Forums, Topics and Replies from the dashboard in bbpress.

I found some other code and modified it as follows

/**
  * Add REST API support to an already registered post type.
  */
  add_action( 'init', 'rew_custom_post_type_rest_support', 25 );
  
  function rew_custom_post_type_rest_support() {
  	global $wp_post_types;
  
  	$post_type_name =  bbp_get_reply_post_type();
  	if( isset( $wp_post_types[ $post_type_name ] ) ) {
  		$wp_post_types[$post_type_name]->show_in_rest = true;
  		$wp_post_types[$post_type_name]->rest_base = $post_type_name;
  		$wp_post_types[$post_type_name]->rest_controller_class = 'WP_REST_Posts_Controller';
  	}
	$post_type_name =  bbp_get_topic_post_type();
  	if( isset( $wp_post_types[ $post_type_name ] ) ) {
  		$wp_post_types[$post_type_name]->show_in_rest = true;
  		$wp_post_types[$post_type_name]->rest_base = $post_type_name;
  		$wp_post_types[$post_type_name]->rest_controller_class = 'WP_REST_Posts_Controller';
  	}
	$post_type_name =  bbp_get_forum_post_type();
  	if( isset( $wp_post_types[ $post_type_name ] ) ) {
  		$wp_post_types[$post_type_name]->show_in_rest = true;
  		$wp_post_types[$post_type_name]->rest_base = $post_type_name;
  		$wp_post_types[$post_type_name]->rest_controller_class = 'WP_REST_Posts_Controller';
  	}
	  
  }

Hi,
Is there any plugin (or code) to create admin per forum that each admin can moderate only his forum and don’t have moderation tools for other forums.
Thanks

[Alex Stine]

Hello,

I have a custom user meta field which is a staff label field. For people with “staff” capability, they can go to their profile in WP admin and enter some text for a label such as “Lead Developer, Writer, Support, etc. I would like to output this label on BBPress profile but cannot figure out how to do it. I am using the currently displayed profile ID. In the following file:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/members-header.php

I know it’s bad to hack core files, I will move to my themes folder once it’s working. This is the code I have currently.

<?php
$member_id = bp_displayed_user_id();
if ( user_can( $member_id, 'staff' ) ) {
if ( get_the_author_meta( 'staff') ) {
$x = ( get_the_author_meta( 'staff', $member_id ) == '' ) ? "Staff" : get_the_author_meta( 'staff', $member_id );
echo '<div class="staff-label">';
echo $x ;
echo '</div>';
} 
} ?>

This code is working fine in the comments area with different logic to grab the user ID, just not working for BuddyPress. Any suggestions?

Thanks. 🙂

[oyegigi]

In case someone wants to use the code who is using pretty links.

// Generate BBporess Edit Profile Link in a shortcode
// [bbp_edit_profile text="Edit My Profile" class"my-link-style"]

function bbp_edit_profile_link($atts) {
	extract(shortcode_atts(array(
		'text' => "",  // default value if none supplied
		'class' => "" //Style class for link
    ), $atts));
    
    if ($text) {
		$current_user = wp_get_current_user (); 
		$user=$current_user->user_login;
        return '<a class="'. $class . '" href="/forums/users/' . $user . '/edit">' . $text. '</a>';
        
    } 
}
add_shortcode('bbp_edit_profile', 'bbp_edit_profile_link');

[King-Nothing]

I totally forgot about this thread.

I fixed it with css:

nav .menu li a span {
display: none;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: 400;
opacity: 0.6;
}

But I guess it would be better to edit some code instead?

Hi, at the top of the pages of this forum, an error shows up. It says:

Continue reading→” />

This error would show up from time to time on user created pages when there was a format issue. To fix it there, I would just jiggle the code around until the error went away.

The forum pages are not user created though so I’m not sure how to clear this error.

[scotth454]

I am getting mine started up an have spent most of my saturday with the same problem. action-modeler.com

<li id="menu-item-1016" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type_archive menu-item-object-forum menu-item-1016"><a>All Forums<span class="menu-tag">bbPress Forums</span></a></li>

Adding a second all forums menu doesn’t have the extra “bbPress Forums”.

Well I figured out setting it as a page to get the all forums. Apparently using the all forums from the “Forums” in menu manager is bugged.

…A PHP 5.2-friendly version that also covers the reply and forum post types:

function bbpress_enable_rest_api_support() {
	$enable_rest = array( 'show_in_rest' => true );
	register_post_type( bbp_get_reply_post_type(), $enable_rest );
	register_post_type( bbp_get_topic_post_type(), $enable_rest );
	register_post_type( bbp_get_forum_post_type(), $enable_rest );
}

add_action( 'bbp_register_post_types', 'bbpress_enable_rest_api_support', 11 );

To enable default REST API support for topics you could use a snippet like this one:

add_action( 'bbp_register_post_types', function() {
	register_post_type( bbp_get_topic_post_type(), [ 'show_in_rest' => true ] );
}, 11 );

This waits until bbPress has registered its post types, then modifies the properties of the topic post type so that it is exposed via the REST API. You could of course extend it to cover forum and reply posts, too. With that in place, you should find URLs like the following work as expected:

http://bbpress.site/wp-json/wp/v2/topic
