It may not be the most elegant solution but the following worked for me….

In your theme’s functions.php place this code:

//* Remove Commas in BBPress Post Tag Display
function my_bbp_topic_tag_list( $topic_id = 0, $args = '' ) {
	echo my_bbp_get_topic_tag_list( $topic_id, $args );
}

function my_bbp_get_topic_tag_list( $topic_id = 0, $args = '' ) {
 
		// Bail if topic-tags are off
		if ( ! bbp_allow_topic_tags() )
			return;

		// Parse arguments against default values
		$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'before' => '<div class="bbp-topic-tags"><p>' . esc_html__( 'Tagged:', 'bbpress' ) . '&nbsp;',
			'sep'    => '',
			'after'  => '</p></div>'
		), 'get_topic_tag_list' );
 
		$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $topic_id );

		// Topic is spammed, so display pre-spam terms
		if ( bbp_is_topic_spam( $topic_id ) ) {
 
			// Get pre-spam terms
			$terms = get_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_spam_topic_tags', true );
 
			// If terms exist, explode them and compile the return value
			if ( !empty( $terms ) ) {
				$terms  = implode( $r['sep'], $terms );
				$retval = $r['before'] . $terms . $r['after'];
 
			// No terms so return empty string
			} else {
				$retval = '';
			}
 
		// Topic is not spam so display a clickable term list
		} else {
			$retval = get_the_term_list( $topic_id, bbp_get_topic_tag_tax_id(), $r['before'], $r['sep'], $r['after'] );
		}
 
		return $retval;
	}

Then copy bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\content-single-topic.php into your theme bbpress folder and replace <?php bbp_topic_tag_list(); ?> with <?php my_bbp_topic_tag_list(); ?>

Hope that helps others looking to do the same thing, and if there’s a better solution let me know lol

Hello,

I hope you won’t mind if I come back to this topic. Everything works with the login and logout links – both redirecting to a certain page. I added the profile link to the menu which shows up after a user login (taken from Layout and functionality – Examples you can use as follows:

function rk_bbp_menu_profile_link( $items, $args ) {

    if( is_user_logged_in() && $args->theme_location == 'sub-header-menu')  {

		

	$current_user = wp_get_current_user();

        $user = $current_user->user_nicename;

	$profilelink = '<a href="/ihabbpress/tenant-forums/users/' . $user . '/">Your Profile</a>';

        $items .=  '<li>' . $profilelink .  '</li>';

	}

    return $items;

}

This is fine except that when the user logs out, he/she stays on the same profile page
he/she had been on before logging out. This is not good – users should be redirected to a specific page. I thought that this code would automatically inherit the redirection link from the Logout code. Many thanks.

i cut the ifs but nothing happens, should have said this before, i am in no mean a programmer i did this

<?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' ); ?>

is this correct?

[amalto]

i can create forums as a drop-down menu? I would like to create forums as if they were a drop-down menu, but I can not with css code…

[Robkk]

Thanks for the snippet, but will that add pagination or just put more forums on the page?

There is no pagination for the forum archive page. There is this, but it outputs pagination for a single forum page.

<?php bbp_forum_pagination_links(); ?>

I might have to create a ticket to possibly add this in the future.

I’d love to come up with some kind of awesome method to self organize all of these books, but that is unlikely to happen given the many restraints.

I was thinking a better tagging system might help, but yeah.

[Robkk]

Add this php function to your child themes functions.php file or in a plugin like functionality to increase the total ammount of forums in the page. It may also be better to just show the Topics by Freshness in the forum root instead by setting it in Settings > Forums.

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' );

[Robkk]

At least i could prevent further entries in the two respective foren by using a math captcha and let only registered users to open new themes or respond to older ones

From what I am reading on your post, you had anonymous posting activated and without spam protection even, which is the reason why there are a lot of spam posts on your forums. Having anyone to post on forums even without an account to your site will allow spammers to just wreck havoc. And from visiting your site I can tell most of the posts are from users without an account posting on your forums.

I have de- an reactivated bbpress, un- and reinstalled it, but the messages are still there.

Doing that doesn’t delete your posts.

Since I see that there are a few posts from 2013 here and there, then most of the spam posts seem to come around October, you may need to suggest a nuclear option and possibly just delete all your bbPress forum post data in whole and start over. I am only suggesting this as i can see about 3 legitimate topics in a forum, then everything else was spam. To delete all of bbPress posts and data you have to follow this guide here and run the Reset Forums Tool. While trying to run this, tell me if it stalls up and gives you an error.

Deleting bbPress

If you have a backup of your database dating back before all the spam wrecked havoc, you can also restore that and be fine, but you will possibly lose some new data like new blog posts that you might of have created.

If you do not make regular backups, make sure after the forum data is cleaned up, that you start doing so.

Remember that when you are starting a forum, you will need to have some kind of spam protection in your forums from the start, especially if you are allowing people to post without an account. Also make sure to have some moderators on your site to catch any activity as it happens.

Dealing with Spam

[Robkk]

You may need to refresh any cache if you cannot see any changes appear.

The original code in loop-single-topic.php from \wp-content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\loop-single-topic.php

Has this code. Which makes it not show up in single forum pages, so it is only visible in topics created section in your forum profile, forum search, and the topic archive on yoursite.com/topics. You may need to remove the conditional if you want to always have it visible.

<?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; ?>

Hi,
yes, I strongly believe that the mentioned behavior (which I confirm: 3 replies were added early today and they are not counted) was caused by some updates. However, how can I find which update caused it? Everytime an update is available I install it. Is wordpress keeping a log with activities as updates?
One small detail: the freshness is updated when you re-load the page, in the sense that the code is considering the current time. But the freshness is not taking into account the last replies (like if no new reply was added).
It seems that the reply is not triggering the functions that are updating counters: anyone has an idea on how this is implemented? So we could search for the cause…
One detail more: I’m also using the “Orbisius bbPress Notify Me On Follow Up Replies” plugin and it also stopped sending emails when a new reply is added.
Thanks!

[seyibest]

Thank you Pascal.
I installed the plugin but the arrangment i made to subforum, all scattered.
i have uninstalled it already hoping to get a better option later.

But man, check my site http://www.guruscrib.net you will notice the login,register,forget password on the menu bar.
so, how do i make it to be in a place like just only Login/Register on just a menu bar like “http://rush-hour-crush.co.uk”?

and moreso, i made the homepage to be the forum. how can i code it in such a way that 2-3 of my post will appear on the homepage follow by the forum beneath it?

Thanks so much man.
you the boom.lol

Hi,
AFAIK, any import is ADDING records, so it will never erase what you already have.

If you want to try yourself, there is always the custom import possibility: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/importing-data/import-forums/custom-import/

Pascal.

[Robkk]

The file you are looking for that has this code should be part of the templates you can customize if you copy the file loop-single-topic.php from the bbPress plugin to your child theme.

[Robkk]

Common thing to see if you activated tinymce for bbPress. Some of the html tags bbPress restricts usage from regular participants could also be used for Tinymce. Customize this function to your liking if there are many more html tags not outputting.

add_filter( 'bbp_kses_allowed_tags', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags' );
function ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags() {
	return array(
		// Links
		'a'          => array(
			'class'    => true,
			'href'     => true,

	);
}

You may not need to completely turn off the html editor tab now, as it is quite useful for users.

Hello

The freshness time (2 hours ago) IS accurate but when I go into a post and see the post and replys, all times listed are off by 8 hours not reflecting my timezone. I’m in Pacific time / San Francisco. Is there a fix for this?

I’m still getting the site built but see:
https://www.myacim.com/community/topic/why-would-i-say-nothing-means-anything/

I am:
WordPress 4.3.1
bbpress 2.5.8
I have switched to theme 2013 and the problem still exists.

Also, I’m not a programmer so if the fix requires code I’ll need you to tell me where to stick it. (I can access files through cpanel file manager)

Thank you so much in advance for your help community!

[eric.w]

I have verified that this code works. Created a github repository just for this topic. Code and instructions are included.

https://github.com/ericwallen/add-featured-images-bbpress-forums

<!– Add this code to functions.php –>

add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’, array( ‘forum’ ) );
add_post_type_support(‘forum’, ‘thumbnail’);

<!– Place this code inside page.php or anywhere else you can echo php in your theme –>

<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post_id, ‘full’); ?>

<!– Repace $post_id with a number ’54’ which will be the id of the post you are tryin to fetch –>

<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail(’54’, ‘full’); ?>

[Matt]

If I run the following MySQL query…

SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type LIKE 'forum'

…I notice that post_status = ‘private’ for the private forums. That makes sense.
However, if I run…

SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type LIKE 'topic'

…I notice that all the topics have post_status = ‘publish’ whether they are in a private forum or not.

Is there any reason why they aren’t post_status = ‘private’? Might that be why the archive lists them?

[32diego]

For anyone interested this is the fix

This is actually a bbPress issue with the singular.php template which was introduced in WordPress 4.3 but bbPress doesn’t support it yet. It looks like it has been fixed in core already – https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5950 – but the update hasn’t been released yet.

If you add the following code to the top of your index.php for your theme it will provide a temp fix:

// bbPress fix while they update things…
if ( function_exists( ‘is_bbpress’ ) && is_bbpress() ) {
get_template_part( ‘singular’ );
return;
}

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,

Ah, the ‘breadcrumbs’.

You can switch them completely off or just remove the ‘forums’ part by checking the example here: https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#4-turning-off-or-changing-breadcrumbs
Just copy this part into a child theme, in your functions.php or in a plugin.

If you don’t know how to do it yourself, you can always check for plugins like bbP Toolkit or others that can help you with that.

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

1. and 2.
You might want to create a standard WordPress page called ‘forums’ and give it the http://raquiia.com/gaming/forums/ URL. In that way you override the default page.
Then use shortcode for your chat, the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode and the shortcode for your statistics. (see shortcodes: https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/ )

For 3. at lot can be done, but I have the impression you want to heavily customize, so if you want to do your own coding you could create a child theme and put copies there of the main bbPress files and start modifying them.

Then of course hundreds of plugins already exist. If you want to do something specific, just open another support request here and we will try to guide you.

Enjoy bbPress !
Pascal.

Hi,

i just installed bbpress to my wordpress website. www raquiia com/gaming.

I was using inboard since long time but yet, i think it’s more convenience to use bbpress with my wordpress website and different plugins.

So i would like to configure it.

The basic installation looks correct, its work without bug (or i didn’t find yet), but i would like to customize it.

First i would like to add a chat on the forum page : www raquiia com/gaming/forums/
So, between the header with the image and title and the Forum i would like this: wordpress plugin : simple-ajax-chat
or an other chat i don’t really care.

i’ll keep the sidebar on right.

Bottom of the forum i would like a better statistic. So i found this : wordpress plugin : bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online

For both it’s look simple to install, just have to write the shortcode on the forum page. But unfortunnally i can’t find where is this page …

After fix that, i’ll try to make the forum more clear and nice to read.
It’s hard to find nice and clear bbpress (i mean in my opinion), i found one example : http://themes.momizat.com/?theme=multinews (go to community -> Forum)

A forum like this after add the chat and the statistic can be alright. Even better if i also can add image for each sub category.

To explain, on this example they have General main category
Then they have sub category :- getting started
– off topic
– Funstuff
Can i add an image before each sub category ?

i think, i have to modify my template to get what i want. i just don’t know where and how …

To summary i want :

1 : Add a chat (doesn’t matter which one) on top of the forum
2 : Add better statistic bot of my forum
3 : Change the design of the forum part (category …)

If somebody can answer me it will be very helpful to open this website asap.

Thanks you by advance

Louis

[Momshof]

Update – I found this code searching through the forums and tried it – it fixed the quotes – they are no longer showing raw code.

The font, size, color, align – still comes up as raw code.

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

Hi,
Just create a normal WordPress page and add the shortcode [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]
See: https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Well, something is wrong with your setup. To go easy ? I would just remove the ‘Forums’ part in the breadcrumbs.
Option 1: Add this to a child theme, in your functions.php or in a plugin:

function pc_breadcrumb_changes($args) {
	$args['include_root'] = false;
	return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'pc_breadcrumb_changes');

Option 2: Install the bbP-Toolkit plugin and just tick the option to remove ‘Forums’.

How to create a forum per page true shortcode and not to see other forums created on other pages? Without the need of user registration.

[Brevi]

Hello!

I would like to try bbPress forum because of it’s WordPress integration and the advantages that would come with that.

I currently have a Simple Machines Forum (SMF) with the following statistics:

Total Members: 98
Total Posts: 9924
Total Topics: 1519
Total Categories: 4
Total Boards: 34

Version of SMF: 2.0.11 (Current)
Version of WordPress: 4.3.1 (Current)
Version of bbPress: 2.5.8 (Current)

I’ve read the guide of importing forums here: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/importing-data/import-forums/

Based on that I’m fairly certain I followed the steps right. I have the server (localhost), the database, the prefix and user added in the import tool. The processing gets stuck at the following point (tried several times):

Converting topics (57 – 57)

I did try with ‘Row Limit’ 1 and also tried ‘Delay Time’ between 1-30, but that did not make a difference. I tried to Stop / Start it a few times… nothing.

I’m not an expert with MySQL databases, so I don’t think I can manually edit the row which is causing the problem.

Can anyone help with this please?
