I am wanting my bbpress tags and bbpress search input form to display on my forum main page just below the bread crumbs.
This is what I understand to do.
A. Copy my page.php template from by theme folder. (..//wp-content/themes/fishingclub)
B. Rename it bbpress.php and upload to the theme folder.
(I do this and the forum main page displays properly.)
Here is the page,php code:

<?php
/**
 * The template for displaying all single pages
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage FISHING_CLUB
 * @since FISHING_CLUB 1.0
 */

get_header();

while ( have_posts() ) { the_post();

	get_template_part( 'content', 'page' );

	// If comments are open or we have at least one comment, load up the comment template.
	if ( !is_front_page() && ( comments_open() || get_comments_number() ) ) {
		comments_template();
	}
}
get_footer();
?>

C. Since I want to display bbpress tags and bbpress I need to put these shortcodes in the bbpress.php template: [bbp-topic-tags] and [bbp-search], BUT the page crashes no matter where I put the shortcode.
D. I assume I must put some kind of coding before and after the shortcode. No idea what I need to do.

I have removed the column titled ‘voices’ by this code in custom css:

li.bbp-topic-voice-count {
    display: none !important;
}

I want to hide the column with the title ‘Posts’. Is there a way to do this also via custom css?

ok, for the moment, I’d suggest you add the code snippets plugin, that gives you an area to put it in.

That will let us test to get to a problem definition.

Once we know if this (or something else) is the solution, then we can get it into the right place, but I would prefer to be sure that the code is functioning so code snippets gives that certainty

Robin, thanks for your response. I’m out of town until Monday and will try out your suggestions then. Some quick question tho. I’m an experienced programmer, but not with wordpress. I’m unclear where to insert these code items. So….
_———-here’s your suggestion
so use this code

—where do I add this this.. To the bbPress functions file?
add_action (‘plugins_loaded’ , ‘rew_remove_bbp_role’) ;

function rew_remove_bbp_role () {
remove_action( ‘bbp_user_register’, ‘bbp_user_add_role_on_register’, 10, 1 );
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –
I am guessing this goes in wp initiation file.

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

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

[Robin W]

as a test, let’s stop it adding the forum role on registration to see if that is interfering.

so use this code

add_action ('plugins_loaded' , 'rew_remove_bbp_role') ;

function rew_remove_bbp_role () {
	remove_action( 'bbp_user_register',   'bbp_user_add_role_on_register', 10, 1 );
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

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

or use

and then let me know if this makes a difference

[Robin W]

ok, but it is the equivalent of asking me to diagnose the strange sound of your car by sending me a photo of the engine. A link lets me see what code is being sent to the browser.

Topics are typically greyed when they are closed – what state is this topic, and have you tried creating others to see if it is juts this one, or all topics are doing it?

[Robin W]

and with this one try

content-single-topic.php

and remove the line

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'reply' ); ?>

[Robin W]

ok, not quite sure why, but in that case

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-forum.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

take out the line

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>

which is in twice, so remove 2 times

and save

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

Then transfer the file you saved 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/content-single-forum.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Are you saying to replace the existing code in form-reply.php just with this code? If so my forum page is ‘page not found’.

<?php

/**
 * New/Edit reply
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

// Exit if accessed directly
defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit;

I believe this shoudk end with
<?
but it still does not work.

[newtech1]

Are you saying that I am to replace all of the code in form-topic.php with just this code:
`<?php

/**
* New/Edit Topic
*
* @package bbPress
* @subpackage Theme
*/

// Exit if accessed directly
defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) || exit;

if ( ! bbp_is_single_forum() ) : ?>

<div id=”bbpress-forums” class=”bbpress-wrapper”>

</div>

<?php endif;’

If so the when I go to my forum page it says ‘page not found’.

[Robin W]

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

transfer this to your pc and edit

make the file read

<?php

/**
 * New/Edit reply
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

// Exit if accessed directly
defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit;

and save

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

Then transfer the file you saved 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/form-reply.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

I need to clarify. I do not want the reply option to appear anywhere in the forum. I do not want the option for replies-just turn off the reply feature.

If I cannot turn off the reply form what file do I go into to remove the code for the reply form so it does not show up?

The problem with making topic closed is it greys out the topic title. I do not want the title to grey out. So if I cannot remove the reply form someway how can I prevent the title from turning grey when closed?

[newtech1]

I do not want anyone, including members, to be able to post topics on the frontend of the forum, just through backdoor. How do I remove that option? It appears the code is form-forum.php file but cannot determine what code I need to remove. What I have tried keeps giving me ‘page not found’.

Hello Robin,
Yes, the site is under development.
I’m thinking of creating a specific button for logging into the account and redirecting the Internet user to the home page afterwards.
I realized that the connection was done well by changing the page afterwards but not on the page where the widget is installed.
Maybe there is a trick (php code in functions.php) to work around this problem?
Thanks for your help.

[Robin W]

you’re close !!

Untested, but try

add_filter('bbp_topic_admin_links', 'rew_no_trash_topic_except_own', 10, 2);
add_filter('bbp_reply_admin_links', 'rew_no_trash_reply_except_own', 10, 2);

function rew_no_trash_topic_except_own ($links, $topic_id) {
    if (!bbp_is_user_keymaster() && get_current_user_id() != bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id )) {
			unset($links['trash']);
		} 
	
    return $links;
}

function rew_no_trash_reply_except_own ($links, $reply_id) {
    if (!bbp_is_user_keymaster() && get_current_user_id() != bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id )) {
			unset($links['trash']);
		} 
	
    return $links;
}

Today tried testing this very ‘rough’ piece of code, failed hopelessly with my very limited knowledge of coding:

add_filter('bbp_topic_admin_links', 'rew_no_trash_except_own', 10, 2);
add_filter('bbp_reply_admin_links', 'rew_no_trash_except_own', 10, 2);

function rew_no_trash_except_own ($links, $topic_id) {
    if (!bbp_is_user_keymaster() && !bbp_is_topic_author(get_current_user_id(), $topic_id)) {
        unset($links['trash']);
    }
    return $links;
}

I think the direction is somewhat correct. Hope to get expert guide on this issue.

Regards.

Hi, good day!

How can we come up with a code so that moderators can only trash his OWN topic/reply but not those posted by others? i.e. to hide admin link “bin” for topic/reply posted by others but display “bin” for his own (as moderator) post.

Regards.

[Robin W]

add_filter ('bbp_get_title_max_length' , 'rew_change_length') ;

function rew_change_length () {
	$length = 160 ;
return $length ;
}

so change length to whatever number you want.

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

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

If you know enough to FTP a file, then

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

remove lines 72-76 ie these :

<li class="<?php if ( bbp_is_single_user_edit() ) :?>current<?php endif; ?>">
					<span class="bbp-user-edit-link">
						<a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_edit_url(); ?>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( "Edit %s's Profile", 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'display_name' ) ); ?>"><?php esc_html_e( 'Edit', 'bbpress' ); ?></a>
					</span>
				</li>

and save

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

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with

The way subscriptions works has changed

use this code now :

add_filter ('bbp_before_get_user_subscribe_link_parse_args' , 'change_subscribe') ;

function change_subscribe ($args) {
	$post_id = $args['object_id']  ;
	if (bbp_is_topic( $post_id )) $text = 'topic' ;
	if (bbp_is_forum( $post_id )) $text = 'forum' ;
	$args['subscribe'] = 'Subscribe to this '.$text ;
	$args['unsubscribe'] = 'Unsubscribe' ;
return $args ;
}

Hi, I’m using the code below to change text of topic subscription link (referring to this topic)

add_filter ('bbp_before_get_topic_subscribe_link_parse_args' , 'change_topic_subscribe') ;

function change_topic_subscribe ($args) {
	$args['subscribe'] = 'Subscribe to this topic' ;
	$args['unsubscribe'] = 'Unsubscribe' ;
return $args ;
}

But it does not work in forum subscription text:

add_filter ('bbp_before_get_forum_subscribe_link_parse_args' , 'change_forum_subscribe') ;

function change_forum_subscribe ($args) {
	$args['subscribe'] = 'Subscribe to this forum' ;
	$args['unsubscribe'] = 'Unsubscribe' ;
return $args ;
}

Anyone can guide me on this?

Regards.

I found a code that works when inserted into …/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress

<h6>Date: <?php the_field( ‘date’ ) ; ?></h6>
<h6>Fish Caught: <?php the_field( ‘fish_caught’ ) ; ?></h6>
<h6>Speed: <?php the_field( ‘speed’ ) ; ?></h6>

But it only displays if put in certain areas. Here is the closet area it displays to the topic content.

<?php bbp_single_topic_description(); ?>
<h6>Date: <?php the_field( ‘date’ ) ; ?></h6>
<h6>Fish Caught: <?php the_field( ‘fish_caught’ ) ; ?></h6>
<h6>Speed: <?php the_field( ‘speed’ ) ; ?></h6>
<h6>Water Features: <?php the_field( ‘water_features’ ) ; ?></h6>
<h6>Lure & Color: <?php the_field( ‘lure_color’ ) ; ?></h6>

<?php if ( bbp_show_lead_topic() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘content’, ‘single-topic-lead’ ); ?>

I have tried putting it below either of these items and it will not dislay in the frontend.

<?php if ( bbp_show_lead_topic() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘content’, ‘single-topic-lead’ ); ?

From what I can tell the code actually needs to be inserted in the single-topic-lead. I have tired inserting it everywhere within the single-topic-lead.php page but no matter where I put it, it does not show up. Here is where I think it needs to go:

<?php bbp_topic_author_link( array( ‘show_role’ => true ) ); ?>

<?php if ( current_user_can( ‘moderate’, bbp_get_reply_id() ) ) : ?>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_before_topic_author_admin_details’ ); ?>

<div class=”bbp-topic-ip”><?php bbp_author_ip( bbp_get_topic_id() ); ?></div>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_after_topic_author_admin_details’ ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_after_topic_author_details’ ); ?>

</div><!– .bbp-topic-author –>

<div class=”bbp-topic-content”>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_before_topic_content’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_topic_content(); ?>
<h6>Date: <?php the_field( ‘date’ ) ; ?></h6>
<h6>Fish Caught: <?php the_field( ‘fish_caught’ ) ; ?></h6>
<h6>Speed: <?php the_field( ‘speed’ ) ; ?></h6>
<h6>Water Features: <?php the_field( ‘water_features’ ) ; ?></h6>
<h6>Lure & Color: <?php the_field( ‘lure_color’ ) ; ?></h6>
<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_after_topic_content’ ); ?>
</div><!– .bbp-topic-content –>
</div><!– #post-<?php bbp_topic_id(); ?> –>

NOTE: What is strange is that if I delete the content-single-topic-lead.php file to make sure the page is not cached, it does not break the topic post which makes no sense to me.

Here is the actual topics page:https://thedoverfamily.com/gfwc/forums/topic/last-try/
