Hi,

That shortcode calls the content-single-forum.php template file. So you’re options are to copy that file to your theme and edit it (but this will be reflected globally, not just in the shortcode).
Or create your own shortcode based off the bbPress one and have it use a custom template file.

Pascal.

Hi,

Is there a way I can show a topic list from just one forum on a page ?
I already tried the standard widgets – e.g. recent topics – but this one shows topics from all forums. Additionally I used the shortcode [bbp-single-forum id=00] but this shows beside the list also the creation of a new topic – I only would like to have the list.

Thanks
Marcin

Ok, I figured it out.
Just wrote a small plugin adding the “newzik” protocol :

<?php
/**
* Plugin Name: NZK links support
* Plugin URI: http://newzik.com/
* Description: Adds support to newzik:// links
* Version: 1.0
* Author: Pierre Mardon
* Author URI: http://newzik.com/
* License: None
*/

/**
 * Extend list of allowed protocols.
 *
 * @param array $protocols List of default protocols allowed by WordPress.
 *
 * @return array $protocols Updated list including new protocols.
 */
function wporg_extend_allowed_protocols( $protocols ){
    $protocols[] = 'newzik';
    return $protocols;
}
add_filter( 'kses_allowed_protocols' , 'wporg_extend_allowed_protocols' );
?>

Hi,

I am aware I can use the shortcode [bbp-single-tag id=181] to display forum posts associated with the tag 181. However, I’d like to pull content assoociated with more than one tag.

Could someone please help me?

Thank you

[Robkk]

@mica123

When you said you got this.

bbpress
Response headers:
cache control: max-age=2592000

I think you just selected something similar to this in your dev tools.

bbpress.css?ver=2.5.8-5815

This is a CSS file, and the cache information you are outputting is just the browser cache information for that CSS file.

Usually you might find this in your htaccess file for code for browser caching, and this exactly for some CSS files.

ExpiresByType text/css A2592000

In the list of names of files being requested, you can try to pick another CSS file like

responsive.css?ver=1.9.7.7

And you should see the caching age be the same thing since it is a CSS file.

Most of the time the browser caching code would be present in your htaccess file wrapped in something like this.

<IfModule mod_expires.c>

But there could also be WordPress plugins that add browser caching like some minify plugins.

You and your dev have to backtrack and find out where and what is causing the browser caching. It is tough for me to find it on my end without a bunch of guessing, but if you want me to try to take a look at it, you can contact me through email here. https://robkkdev.wordpress.com/contact/

Also that custom login script would not cause this type of issue.

Also you can delete this piece of code since you are probably not using it correctly.

wp_enqueue_script( ‘custom-login’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/css/style-login.js’ );

[Pascal Casier]

So they were the same…

The only option I see is to really insist with your current provider, sorry for not being able of more help.
For the application caching, a lot of pages exist, like http://www.sitepoint.com/common-pitfalls-avoid-using-html5-application-cache/

BEFORE DOING THE NEXT LINES, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE DIRECT ACCESS TO YOUR FILES ON THE SERVER IN CASE IT GOES WRONG.
Just a test to see if it helps, can you go in your dashboard, ‘Appearance > Editor’, choose on the right the ‘Header’ (header.php) file and when the file opens, find somewhere the <head> tag and copy the following lines just below :

<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="max-age=0" />
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0" />
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="Tue, 01 Jan 1980 1:00:00 GMT" />
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache" />	

If it helps, it could be a workaround for now, but you should not keep this forever.

Keep subscription to this topic. If I find something else, I’ll post it here, but for now I have no clue.

This is a common theme issue related to the theme styling absolute positioning the comment reply link for WordPress comments.

Use this custom css to fix the issue. Add it in your child themes style.css file or anywhere you can add custom css like in a custom css plugin.

#bbpress-forums .reply {
    position: relative;
    top: inherit;
    right: inherit;
    line-height: inherit;
    font-size: inherit;
}

[Pascal Casier]

Hi peoriachuck,

Thanks for solving most of your own issues 🙂

Are you a keymaster when you try to view the trashed topics ?
Who can view the trash is depending on the permissions you have. Check ‘view_trash’ on https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/before-installing/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

Pascal.

[Robkk]

It is a common issue where CSS for WordPress comments reply link has conflicts with actual reply posts in bbPress.

Copy this custom css in your child themes style.css file or in anywhere you can put custom css like in a custom css plugin.

#bbpress-forums .reply {
    font-size: inherit;
    padding: inherit;
    position: relative;
    right: inherit;
    top: inherit;
}

Hi all,

Running WP 4.3.1 and BBPress 2.5.8

The issue: Forum replies appear above forum content in this theme (have tested using vanilla 2015 theme and there’s no problem). The partial solution is to play with CSS.

I’ve got a CSS plugin (Simple Custom CSS) and making changes in there, and I’ve managed to get the reply content to appear in almost the right place using:

ul.forums li {position: relative;}

However, this means the content appears above the bb-reply-header DIV.

Any help appreciated 🙂

Thanks

L.

[Robkk]

I had to get to get a confirmation from Stephen but

_bbp_topic_count = only published topics

_bbp_total_topic_count = published/spam/unapproved/trashed topics. Basically the actual total topic count.

[gperez-tl]

Hi @robkk . Thanks for the comments.

I’m posting the code. However, the issue may not be at that level. It’s true that sometimes part of the info is ok, and part is wrong. But actually the whole page is being cached. Prove of this is that when I added the html headers (see above) the browsers wouldn’t recognize that tags until I reloaded page with ctrl+F5

USERNAME
$user = wp_get_current_user();
echo $user->user_firstname;

USER PHOTO
get_avatar( bbp_get_displayed_user_field( ‘user_email’, ‘raw’ ), apply_filters( ‘bbp_single_user_details_avatar_size’, 150 ) )

USER NAME UNDER PHOTO
bbp_get_user_nicename() <- this one sometimes is not being cached as far as I can say

———

I’ll try with another theme. But I’m not sure the views7templates will be recognized. I’ll try and let you know. Thanks for the suggestiong.

———

@mica123 Nice to know that changing the server solves the issue. That points in one direction. But let’s try to discover what’s the problem with server configuration.

[Robkk]

@gperez-tl

Post the code you are using for the custom howdy message in the toolbar. I do not think this would cause an issue but just double checking.

Do the same thing with the profile menu items code.

Just know that you said these were bbPress’s issue although the menu system and the WordPress toolbar are both part of WordPress. The registered menu and menu location are your theme. I do not know how bbPress could cause an issue with this.

So, (visiting any author’s profile and) clicking on some of these items will show the author’s data, while clicking in others will retrieve current user profile data or something.

Wait so clicking on anyone’s frontend forum profile could show the current users profile for some reason, or is it just the menu links as you stated.

You did not edit the user profile templates heavily? you said you are receiving issues with users profiles.

IF you haven’t already try to track down what is causing the issues you are getting. Since you have a custom theme see if the issue persists in a default theme like twenty twelve, deactivate all plugins but bbPress.

Troubleshooting

Your profile pages shouldn’t just be magically be cached by bbPress.

You may need to create me a test user account so that I can confirm of the issue you are getting, and to also test other areas the cache issue might be present.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi mica123,
Would you mind installing the ‘WP Overview (lite)’ plugin
and paste here the cache info from the dashboard widget like: WP (Hyper, Super, W3 Total) Cache 0 (since wp2.5), Simplepie Cache 0 Age 0 seconds (since wp2.8)

Maybe also install the ‘Send System Info’ plugin and send me the info by email.

Then deactivate the plugins as they might use resources that you don’t want to loose.

Pascal.

[gperez-tl]

Adding these metatags to profile pages seems to work. But I have to go through 5 pages and reload with ctrl+F5 to make this happen:

<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="max-age=0" />
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0" />
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="Tue, 01 Jan 1980 1:00:00 GMT" />
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache" />		

Code is:

function head_meta_tags() {
  
    if ( bbp_is_single_user() ) {
       // try to avoid cache in profile pages
        echo '  <meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="max-age=0" />
                <meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache" />
                <meta http-equiv="expires" content="0" />
                <meta http-equiv="expires" content="Tue, 01 Jan 1980 1:00:00 GMT" />
                <meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache" />';
    }
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'head_meta_tags' , 2 );

[gperez-tl]

Just to mention that I tried this headers in php side but they wont take effect:

header("Expires: 0");
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");
header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", false);
header("Pragma: no-cache");

[Robkk]

This is going to increase the font-size of the topic and reply content of the same exact specified font size on your site.

Add this custom CSS to your child themes style.css file or anywhere else you can put custom CSS like a custom CSS plugin.

.bbp-topic-content p,
.bbp-reply-content p {
    font-size: 1rem;
}

If you want to increase the font size of other areas of the forum be more specific.

[Pascal Casier]

Technically possible as Robkk indicates, ok, but just make sure to keep it under control.
I’m not sure what maximum number of forums has been tested for visualization and handling inside the different shortcodes and functions.

Pascal.

[Robkk]

There is a shortcode you can put in a page to allow users to create forums.

[bbp-forum-form]

Shortcodes

You can also use this PHP code snippet, and place it in your child themes functions.php file or in a functionality plugin to allow admins/keymasters to create a forum right from their bbPress forum profile.

function ntwb_bbp_forum_form() {
	if ( bbp_is_user_home() && current_user_can( 'edit_others_forums' ) ) {
		echo do_shortcode( '[bbp-forum-form]' );
	}
}
add_action( 'bbp_template_after_user_profile', 'ntwb_bbp_forum_form' );

To delete and edit you have to do it in the backend for now. There are plans to add more frontend moderation tools though.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi kamenlee,

First of all, you can refer to https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-users-auto-subscribe-to-one-forum/ if you know how to code and try from there to automate.

Otherwise you can start with this plugin and perform it manually if somebody registers to your site (if your userbase is not that big) : https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-manage-subscriptions/ . The ‘automation’ and ‘bulk options’ are not yet there but should hopefully come in some weeks.

Pascal.

[Robkk]

It adds this by default at 480px in the bbPress stylesheet. Should definitely show up unless you have reply threading activated because of some weird bug when it is activated.

#bbpress-forums .bbp-body div.bbp-topic-author,
	#bbpress-forums .bbp-body div.bbp-reply-author {
		margin: -15px 10px 10px;
		min-height: 100px;
		padding-left: 80px;
		position: relative;
		text-align: left;
		width: 100%;
	}

	#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author img.avatar,
	#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author img.avatar {
		position: absolute;
		top: 15px;
		left: 0;
		width: 60px;
		height: auto;
	}

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

[Robkk]

I split your topic, since it was kind of off topic.

This is the code I used to have the large avatar like that in the freshness column. This code should replace the bbp-topic-freshness list in loop-single-topic.php that should be copied in your child theme. You may have to style the avatar by floating it to the left and giving it a margin to the right too by using the class bbp-topic-freshness-author-av.

	<li class="bbp-topic-freshness">

	<span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author-av"><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_topic_last_active_id(), 'size' => 48 , 'type' => 'avatar' ) ); ?></span>

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

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

		<?php bbp_topic_freshness_link(); ?>

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

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

			<span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author"><?php printf( __('by %1$s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_topic_last_active_id(), 'type' => 'name' ) ) ); ?></span>

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

		</div>

	</li>

[Robkk]

I just split your reply into a topic so that you can have your own topic about this.

Please do not bump topics, especially topics that are about 8 years old.

If you are using the latest bbPress plugin.

To get the user’s username use

<?php 
  global $current_user;
  get_currentuserinfo();
  echo $current_user->user_login;
?>

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_currentuserinfo

You can also just use the WordPress toolbar.

[Robkk]

Where do I add those lines of code?

It is CSS put it in your child themes style.css file, a custom css plugin, or anywhere you can put custom css.

I assume you want me to edit one of the PHP files

No, never edit the plugin core files, unless you are 100% sure you know what you are doing. Since you are a novice, just do not do it.

I don’t know what “multisite” is.

Since you do not know what it is, I am going to assume you do not have it. You do not need it to solve this issue so no need to install any plugins, just curious if you have it. I see it is probably that you have a test enviroment of WordPress because you are planning on migrating to a WordPress/bbPress install from phpBB.

Yes, your deleteme user does appear in the Users list.

Does it have the Participant forum role too?

Alright, so I assume you’re talking about Peter’s Login Redirect plugin, and I assume I’ll need to edit the settings under Settings -> Login/logout redirects, correct?

You seem to be getting that together. Not sure why you are redirecting to the forums especially a specific forum, but yeah you got it.

I created a test Subscriber user, which in fact is redirected upon logging in, but isn’t logged in (of course that code you recommended still needs added in).

The code I gave you helped remove the bullet list displaying in your forums.

Again thank you for trying to help Robkk, but I would definitely like it if you could be a bit more descriptive in what I need to do to fix this login problem

We still have to troubleshoot what is causing the user to not seem to be have access to the forums.

Try some of these troubleshooting steps listed in this guide to see if it could be theme/custom theme related like if you copied the bbPress customizable templates into your child theme and edited them and messed something up on accident, check to see if a plugin could be causing an issue, you can check to see if caching could be an issue by flushing cache from your site, if you edited the bbPress and ever do not remember what you edited you can reinstall a fresh version of the plugin to see if it fixes the issue also.

Troubleshooting

Do not just go deleting cache files from WordPress or code in bbPress.
