date order:

put this in your functions fil :

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

Hi @deall & @robin-w,

I found this topic by googling around because I am having an issue and I think my issue is the reason this Prefix all forum content with the Forum Root slug (Recommended) option is recommended. If you don’t prefix, you can run into URL conflict issues. For example, if your forum is on your homepage, and there is no prefix, your pagination links will be something like www.{your_site_url}.com/page/2. The problem is www.{your_site_url}.com/page may be one of your pages. Obviously you could also have a page named ‘forums’, but it’s much less likely.

Does this explanation sound correct?

Hi Bruce,
To change the breadcrumbs have a look here: https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#4-turning-off-or-changing-breadcrumbs

If you don’t want to do it yourself, check out plugins like ‘bbP Toolkit’ where you should be able to configure it.

Hi,

If I copy/paste html content to topic content, all html tag appears in text, all quotes are converted to french quotes and content can overflow (link to full image)

I try this below but It doens’t change anything !

remove_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'wptexturize' , 3);
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'wptexturize', 3);

I remove ALL plugins and I erase functions.php !

I also try this :

function bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text( $plugins = array() ) {
    $plugins[] = 'paste';
    return $plugins;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_tiny_mce_plugins', 'bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text' );

even if I want to permit copy/paste of (filtered) html, just to try, but it doesn’t make any change.

Do you have an idea of what happens?
Thanks.

[Chad R. Schulz]

A much appreciated restructuring.

This simplifies a lot by renaming the core roles from within both front-end and back-end user role editors.

Love learning new code/tricks.

Thanks,
Chad

I have the latest 4.7 version of WordPress and installed the latest bbPress plugin (updated 4 days ago).

When I click on Forums->All forums, in the WP Dashboard, it shows me a full white blank page. Upon typing website.com/forums, it shows a blank page. The newly created forum link website.com/forums/forum/forum is also completely blank. I’ve tried this on two themes – Twenty Sixteen and Twenty Seventeen. Both showed blank page.

I tried creating a new page and pasting [bbp-forum-index] but that gave me the following code as the result:
{{ partial “head.html” . }}
{{ partial “header.html” . }} {{ partial “sidebar.html” . }} {{ partial “post/header-cover.html” . }}
{{ $paginator := .Paginate (where .Data.Pages “Type” “post”) }} {{ range $paginator.Pages }} {{ .Render “summary” }} {{ end }} {{ partial “pagination.html” . }}
{{ partial “footer.html” . }}
{{ partial “foot.html” . }}

Hi,

First, a quick description of the issue:
When using a bbPress Login Widget in combination with Jetpack and its Protect module activated, logging in via the widget will
1. redirect the user to a stand-alone math puzzle page which in turn (whether the puzzle was solved or failed) will
2. redirect to the normal wp-login.php page where the user will have to
3. fill out login credentials and solve another math puzzle again (!) and after submission, the user is
4. redirected to the dashboard instead of back to the original forum page.

So, besides the inconvenience of having to pass the same login credentials twice and solve two different math puzzles, the user will find himself searching for the page he came from, which defeats the whole idea of the login widget…

I found a way to make Jetpack Protect and the bbPress Login Widget work together (by allowing the math puzzle to be inserted directly into the login form in the sidebar) but looking for users to test it in different circumstances like hosting environments, caching plugins etc.

The pull request can be found on https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/pull/5647

The fix is this:

Open the Jetpack file modules/protect.php for editing (can be done in the WordPress plugin editor) and change:
1. line 53 from

add_action( 'login_init', array ( $this, 'check_use_math' ) );

to

add_action( 'login_form', array ( $this, 'check_use_math' ) );

2. line 61 from

add_action( 'login_head', array ( $this, 'check_login_ability' ) );

to

add_action( 'login_form', array ( $this, 'check_login_ability' ), 0 );

(notice the added “,0” there at the end too!)

Next Save, activate Jetpack’s Protect module and add the bbPress Login Widget to your forum sidebar. Then visit your site in an anonymous browser window and test logging in via the widget.

Please share your experiences. Thanks !

bbpress Version 2.5.12
wordpress Version 4.6.1
TwentyThirteen-Child theme

You’ll see I don’t know what I’m doing here. What follows is what I tried.

I put the following into my 2013 child theme:
1. a folder titled “bbpress” which contained the following all copied from the bbpress plugin folder:
2. a folder titled “bbpress”
3. a folder titled “css”
4. a folder titled “extras”
5. a folder titled “js”
6. a file titled “bbpress-functions.php

I replaced the top of the bbpress.css file which was in the “css” folder with this:

 /*
Theme Name: bbpress bbpress-child
Theme URI: http://neighborsconnect/neighborsnation/wp-content/themes/twentythirteen-child/bbpress-child/
Description: bbpress-child theme for bbpress
Version: 1.0
Author: Bruce Wilson
Author URI: http://neighborsnation.org/
Template: bbpress-default
Tags: bbpress, bbpress-child
*/ 

Then I increased the font-size for the bbpress forums from 12 px to 20px and other such changes to see if it worked.

Surprise! Surprise! It didn’t work.

What do I need to do to make it work?

Thanks @chadschulz is this more along the lines of what you are after?

A quick modification of your code above, with some tweaks via https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/

function chadschulz_bbpress_customized_roles( $bbp_roles ) {
	// Keymaster -> Captain
	$bbp_roles['bbp_keymaster'] = array(
		'name'         => 'Captain',
		'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() )
	);
	// Moderator -> Commander
	$bbp_roles['bbp_moderator'] = array(
		'name'         => 'Commander',
		'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() )
	);
	// Participant -> Ensign
	$bbp_roles['bbp_participant'] = array(
		'name'         => 'Ensign',
		'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
	);
	// Spectator -> Visitor
	$bbp_roles['bbp_spectator'] = array(
		'name'         => 'Visitor',
		'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_spectator_role() )
	);
	// Blocked -> Banned
	$bbp_roles['bbp_blocked'] = array(
		'name'         => 'Banned',
		'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_blocked_role() )
	);
	// Lieutenant (Based on Participant role caps)
	$bbp_roles['bbp_lieutenant'] = array(
		'name' => 'Lieutenant',
		'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
	);
	return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'chadschulz_bbpress_customized_roles' );

[Chad R. Schulz]

Sure,

I’ve been going with Star Trek ranks;-)

function my_custom_roles( $role, $user_id ) {
  if($role){
    switch ($role) {
      case 'Participant': $role = 'Ensign'; break;
      case 'Keymaster': $role = 'Captain'; break;
      case 'Moderator': $role = 'Commander'; break;
      case 'Blocked': $role = 'Banned'; break;
      case 'Spectator': $role = 'Visitor'; break;  
    }
  }
  return $role;  
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_user_display_role', 'my_custom_roles', 10, 2 );

function add_new_roles( $bbp_roles )
{
    /* Add a role called lieutenant */
    $bbp_roles['bbp_lieutenant'] = array(
        'name' => 'Lieutenant',
        'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ),
        );
 
    return $bbp_roles;
} 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_new_roles',  1 );

As I said, things are all working properly now without any issues.

But, maybe there’s a deeper problem during the update process that might be affecting others as well.

Anyhoo, Thanks.
Chad

I’d like to add my thanks to @fpradmin also. The code increases the font size of all parts of the forum page. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I started a gaming website and to my surprise it isn’t doing too badly. I’m hoping to grow a community around it, but am really struggling to get everything right.

I’ve managed to get my forum posts to replace comments:

8 Wonderful Christmas Presents For Zelda Fans

I’ve installed a Plugin to put Register/Login/Forgot at the top of the forum, which works very well, and shows on the main forum pages too: http://www.growngaming.com/forums/forum/grown-gaming-community/?view=all

Now, my problem is I also want to offer the option to login with social media, rather than filling in all details, etc. I’ve successfully found and fully installed/integrated a widget to do this, which fits into the sidebar perfectly. However, I’d also like this to display in the top right hand corner of the forum (on every sub-forum and topic), so that people can see that they can comment on my posts (and, thus post in the forum) very easily.

Is it possible for me to add this to my forum? I have a shortcode for the widget and have put it into pages etc, but I cannot figure out how to have it automatically added to every page/topic in my forum.

Thank you for your help.

[yoshidesu]

i decided to use code [bbp-forum-index]

then everything ok..

thanks

Hello, i have installed the plugin wp-post ratings

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-postratings/installation/

I want to show the rating in bbpress.

Find: <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
Add Anywhere Below It (The Place You Want The Ratings To Show): <?php if(function_exists(‘the_ratings’)) { the_ratings(); } ?>

In which files, i have to add the php code?

Thanks a Lot!

Best Regards
Sally

Hi guys, the ticket was created and has been marked as fixed and closed.

However, the problem is still occurring in bbPress 2.5.12, so the bug has not actually been fixed.

Could somebody please fix this issue? I’m still having to manually patch the bbPress code with every update.

Thanks!

[Stephen Edgar]

Can you share your code for how you’re defining your custom roles please?

If you’d rather keep the code private you could join the #bbPress channel in Slack

You can sign up for WordPress Slack here: https://chat.wordpress.org

[Stephen Edgar]

Can you add some more details please?

Does this happen if you do this yourself with a new test user?

If you could add some reproducible steps like these:

1. Create a new user testuser
2. Add the participant role to testuser
3. Signed in as admin I create a topic xyz
4. Log out of admin, login as testuser
5. Reply to topic xyz

Actual Result:

I see the reply author as….

Expected Result:

I expected to see the reply author as….

I’ve added a dynamic role to my forums that no longer appears in any display user role capacity.
I used the bbp_get_dynamic_roles hook as before.

However, the capabilities from this role do transfer over–just not the name.

I’m using custom functions that require this role’s name be defined. So basically this update breaks my site.

Any attempt to role back to an earlier version of bbPress seems to crash the site.

Help!?

[Robin W]

sorry – that was for the code via ftp.

If you just want a list then go into dashboard>appearance>widgets and just look for all those that’s tart with (bbpress)

[rhj4]

How do I control the order in which the forums appear on the page? I am currently using this shortcode:

[bbp-forum-index]

Hi,
I noticed textarea for newtopic description is generated using bbp_the_content function. I.e., not available in form-topic.php site specific copy.

• bbPress 2.5.11
• WordPress 4.6.1
• site (internal)

If this is worth your time, how do I add placeholder attribute in the following list, without breaking the upgrade mechanism? I mean if it is a five minute job for any of you. Otherwise I can spend my own time to work around it using css… it’s nagging me that you all would not have forgotten to allow for this …reasonably important thing… I think.

	function bbp_get_the_content( $args = array() ) {

		// Parse arguments against default values
		$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'context'           => 'topic',
			'before'            => '<div class="bbp-the-content-wrapper">',
			'after'             => '</div>',
			'wpautop'           => true,
			'media_buttons'     => false,
			'textarea_rows'     => '12',
			'tabindex'          => bbp_get_tab_index(),
			'tabfocus_elements' => 'bbp_topic_title,bbp_topic_tags',
			'editor_class'      => 'bbp-the-content',
			'tinymce'           => false,
			'teeny'             => true,
			'quicktags'         => true,
			'dfw'               => false
		), 'get_the_content' );

Here is what I am trying to do, i.e., add the words “… and a short description of the topic here.” in the blue area.

So I am using bbpress alongside buddypress. This is great because running a little gaming community, it is awesome having the ability to use the widely know traditional forums as bbpress offers them while adding some great social features brought by buddypress.

Now I’ve done my research and figured out that bbpress relies on the wp profile informations (since well wp and bbpress work great together). Aside of that, there is some synchronisation between buddypress and wp profile informations.

What I’d like is be able to use only one avatar for both plugins. bbpress fetches the wp profile avatar while buddypress as one on its own. So my idea is to fetch buddypress’s image when displaying the user’s avatar on the forums.

I tried to search for documentation on this and didn’t find much. I ended up digging the plugin code and stumbled upon, while looking in the /plugins/bbpress/includes/users/template.php file, bbp_current_user_avatar() which uses bbp_get_current_user_avatar() that calls get_avatar() with the desired size and user id.

So I guess the obvious step is telling bbpress to look for the buddypress profile image rather than use this get_avatar() function, which I suspect is fetching the wp profile image.

But I am stuck here, mainly because I am new to wordpress, also to php. I should be able to sort myself out with some indications (how and what to use) or even some pseudo code.

I want to do this because I want people to not use their wp profile (there is not much there anyway) and rather go through their buddypress profile only.

Thank’s in advance for any help.

@hotloverspassion,

did you create a new page and name it “new topic”. This is where you will place the short code [wpmu_bbp_topic]
