If anyone runs into this wondering the same thing, I got this working using this code:

<?php global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); $uid = bbp_get_current_user_id(); ?>
<?php if ( bbp_get_user_topic_subscriptions( $uid ) ) : ?>
    <?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>
    <?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'topics' ); ?>
    <?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
    <p><?php _e( 'You are not currently subscribed to any topics.', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

Basically you just have to specify the current user’s ID number in the bbp_get_user_topic_subscriptions function. I’m running into another weird problem that I haven’t been able to fix though: If this is in your sidebar and you view a single forum, it will only display the subscribed topics within that forum.

Hope this helps someone.

the problem seems to be in your custom-css

#bbpress-forums .bbp-body div.bbp-reply-content {
    clear: both;
    margin: 10px;
    padding: 0;
}

is moving the text down – take this out and it appears in the right place

contact me via my website and I’ll send you the code for your functions file

Thanks. It would be such an easy thing for bbPress to add too. I will need to fork it out. Do you know of any good tutorials to do this, I am not sure how much customization I will need to do compared to the widget code already.

Thanks again,

[Robin W]

no simple way to do this in your functions file, the bbpress widgets are pretty unforgiving in allowing you to tinker with them.

two immediate choices – fork the widgets code into your functions file and rename it – requires some php and WordPress knowledge or
Just amend it in the bbpress file – AND make a note to need to change it on bbpress upgrades.

The latter upsets the purists, but it’s only codes and you can’t be arrested for changing code !

I am looking for a way to update my functions.php file to add a dynamic additional class to the bbPress Forums List Widget. Basically I would like the current code of:

<li><a class="bbp-forum-title" href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink( $widget_query->post->ID ); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_title( $widget_query->post->ID ); ?></a></li>

I would like to add an additional dynamic class or ID to the link. I want to do this so I can add different background images to each forum if I choose through CSS.

Thanks!

Strange, can you open bbpress-cs.po in a text editor and confirm that these exist in the .po file:

The original string:
• Your username must be unique, and cannot be changed later.

The “waiting” string for the “dev” (2.6-alpha) translations
• Vaše přezdívka musí být unikátní a nejde později změnit.

The “waiting” string for the “stable” (2.5.x) translations
• Vaše uživatelské jméno musí být jedinečné, a nelze ho měnit.

I have read other posts regarding the alignment of bbPress after removing the R side bar in a theme. I would like to center the forum on this page. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

WP version 4.4
Theme Twenty Sixteen 1.0
bbPress version 2.5.8-5815
bbp style pack 2.8.4
bbP Toolkit 1.0.5

I created bbpress.php and placed it in the theme root dir to remove the R sidebar.

<?php
get_header(); ?>
<div id="main-content">
	<div class="container">
		<div id="content-area" class="clearfix">
			<div>
			<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
				<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
					<h1 class="main_title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
					<div class="entry-content">
					<?php the_content(); ?>
					</div> <!-- .entry-content -->
				</article> <!-- .et_pb_post -->
			<?php endwhile; ?>
			</div>
		</div> <!-- #content-area -->
	</div> <!-- .container -->
</div> <!-- #main-content -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Do you still have a problem?

I am unsure from your various rants what exactly the issue is – I need a problem definition to be able to help, and don’t know from your name ‘iapologizepleasedeleteme’ whether you have now fixed your issue.

If you still have the problem then – given that you have been pressing lots of buttons – I would suggest you contact you host provider and ask then to revert your site to a previous backup – almost all host providers take backups every 24 hours. This will get you site working again.

I would then invest some time in creating a test site – to do development in your live site is just stupid, as you have found out. See https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/testing-your-bbpress-installation/creating-a-test-site/

For others I was able to remove the widget by adding the following line to [wp docroot]/wp-admin/includes/dashboard.php

remove_meta_box('bbp-dashboard-right-now', 'dashboard', 'core');

Specifically line 55, just above the line

Hi!

I am trying to get a list of specific topics which have some meta data in common.

No matter what I insert in 'meta_key' => 'name' property of query_posts function, the page still returns a list of the total topics.

This is my code so far:

add_action('wp', function() {

	if( isset( $_GET['my_variable'] ) ) {

		$page = get_query_var('paged') ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
		query_posts(array(

   			'paged' => $page,
			'post_type'=> 'topic',
			'order' => 'ASC'

		));

	}

});

If I visit site.ext/?my_variable=1 I get a list of all forum topics.

How can I get this to work, using query_posts or WP_Query, or any other workaround? How can we target those specific topics and show them as a list?

Regards,
Samuel.

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 3

The usage of child theme is to avoid overwriting any customization that you have done to your site by a theme/plugin upgrades. So you maintain a separate set of files in different folder than the out of box themes or plugins. This way whenever there are new upgrades and get pushed and overwrite your files, it won’t overwrite whatever customization you had.

[Stephen Edgar]

I think for Czech the files should be bbpress-cs.mo and bbpress-cs.po

When you export the translations from translate.wordpress.org you should also change a couple of the defaults:

• Make sure the filter Current/waiting/fuzzy + untranslated (All) is showing the waiting translation

• Select the only matching the filter and then click export to export the .po .mo (This way you’ll get the those strings that have not yet been approved)

[Stephen Edgar]

Theres some docs here that should help you in troubleshooting these issues:

Import Troubleshooting

Can I also suggest you use the development version of bbPress, there are some pretty big improvements for the importer in this upcoming version 😉

SUMMARY OF ISSUE AND TEMPORARY FIXES

So summary to save people needing to read this whole thread

There is an issue with WordPress 4.4 and bbpress which should (hopefully) be fixed by WordPress 4.4.1 when it is released.

The issue only affects sub forums that are private or hidden, when you will get a 404 error as the url cannot be correctly interpreted.

For those interested:

The root cause of the issue is hierarchal post URL’s with custom post statuses, so in bbPress case if we have a “private” forum that uses a custom post status “private”, as such when we expect our URL to be e.g.: https://example.com/forums/forum/my-private-or-hidden-category/my-forum

If the forum or category my-private-or-hidden-category is private or hidden then the URL generated for the my-forum excludes the my-private-or-hidden-category part of the URL and the resulting url is https://example.com/forums/forum/my-forum which is incorrect, bad and makes us sad

To fix in the meantime you have 4 choices

either
a. Stay with 4.4 then implement the following
open wp-includes/post.php, scroll to about line 4300 to find function get_page_uri( $page )
In that function replace

if ( 'publish' === $parent->post_status ) {

with

if ( ! empty( $parent ) ) {

If you try this, please advise if this doesn’t fix for you.
or
b. Change your sub forums to main forums – it is only sub forums that are affected
or
c. In theory you could just make your private forums public, but suspect you have them private for a reason !
or
d. Revert to 4.3 and then for each forum affected change the status from private/hidden to public, save and then change back to how you want it and save.

[Stephen Edgar]

There is a new fix, rather an alternate that better detects and reflects the root cause of the issue:

Replace if ( 'publish' === $parent->post_status ) { with if ( ! empty( $parent ) ) {

The full details can be viewed in the WordPress ticket:
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/35084

And the latest patch:
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/35084/35084.5.diff

Also please refrain from email, the bbPress team can only respond to issues we can read here in the public forums or our bug tracking and reporting system. If the current fix here is not working for you please add that here with as much detail as you can so that we can try and configure our forum configuration to match yours and reproduce the issue.

Awesome thanks for the help! I just followed your instructions, and it didnt quite seem to work. It definitely did something, but not quite what was expected. Here’s a screenshot of what happened after i implemented your code: http://imgur.com/Txu9cAz

After seeing the bbpress.org forums, im realizing its not totally neccessary to replace the freshness (last post) column, but to simply add a “started by: author” section directly beneath the topic title – just like on the forums here.

Is that how it should look by default? Or are the bbpress.org forums customized?

[rayjay]

Make a child theme of the bbpress first.

Then you need to edit the loop-single-topic.php file in your child theme to move the code below to replace the other code on the bottom..

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_meta' ); ?>

		<p class="bbp-topic-meta">

			<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_started_by' ); ?>

			<span class="bbp-topic-started-by"><?php printf( __( Started by: '%1$s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'size' => '14' ) ) ); ?></span>

			<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_started_by' ); ?>

			<?php if ( !bbp_is_single_forum() || ( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() !== bbp_get_forum_id() ) ) : ?>

				<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_started_in' ); ?>

				<span class="bbp-topic-started-in"><?php printf( __( 'in: <a href="%1$s">%2$s</a>', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_forum_permalink( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ), bbp_get_forum_title( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ) ); ?></span>

				<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_started_in' ); ?>

			<?php endif; ?>

		</p>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_meta' ); ?>

replace the abvoe code with below code..

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_freshness_link' ); ?>

		<?php bbp_topic_freshness_link(); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_freshness_link' ); ?>

		<p class="bbp-topic-meta">

			<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_freshness_author' ); ?>

			<span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author"><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_topic_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?></span>

			<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_freshness_author' ); ?>

		</p>

Hi there,

I have a community that has been providing feedback that it is confusing to them when it shows the last poster rather than the person who started the topic.. I am assuming there is a simple bit of code that can help me with this, but I am no php expert..

Ideally, Id like to change the Freshness column to a Creator column that shows who created the topic.. See example: http://imgur.com/Wv0FnQr

Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi,

I know I should be using the latest version of BBPress, but I can’t get it to import “correctly” and I don’t want to lose 7 years worth of posts.

With that said, I am moving my installation to a new host, and I keep getting these error messages. I have done this before, and didn’t have any problems.

So I am wondering why now?

I have a screen shot of the error codes here: http://fasteddypublishing.info/bbpress-error.png

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me figure if it’s something I am doing, or a problem with my new hosting server’s PHP.

Thanks!

Hi,
To display more forums, I normally use a filter. Like Robbkk posted some days ago:

function rkk_increase_forum_per_page( $args ) {
    $args['posts_per_page'] = get_option( '_bbp_forums_per_page', 150 );
  return $args;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_before_has_forums_parse_args', 'rkk_increase_forum_per_page' );

Just add this to your functions.php or put it in a child theme.
Pascal.

This is odd, but stellar! Recently I still had problems with the main forum page. Both in my theme and 2015 theme. It was in the breadcrumb nav, finally, I don’t know why. There was no page generated for it in the Menu. Now it’s there. The final issue was that shortcode was not rendering on that page, I wanted the forum index there. Today it all works!

Everything is awesome! Maybe there was an update?

Hi there, my forum doesn’t seem to display it’s title, i’m using the free ‘evolve’ theme. I’ve put in custom code for the subtitle to pop up; I was wondering if there is a code I can use to make the title appear too. Thanks!

Hello,

Whenever I attempt to place my forum index on a page, using the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode, it displays with bullet points as though it is an unordered list of some kind. I’ve seen demos of people doing something similar and they don’t get the same result.

Thoughts?

Thank you,
