instructions for them

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

transfer this to your pc and edit

go to line 248 and change

? esc_html_e( 'You cannot create new topics.', 'bbpress' )

to

? esc_html_e( '', 'bbpress' )

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-topic.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Hi, thanks a lot! … feel amazed to see how coding can do the changes to our forum layout.

This code just works fine in topic listing page.

For topic page, it would be perfect if user can still see the [Closed] label beside the topic title.
See https://paste.pics/N5WS0

Regards.

You can create a new page and put [bbp-forum-index] in it. This way, it will be your forum root page and you can edit this page.

Here is the related documentation: 3. Creating a forum page -> Method 2

Just installed the plugin and it seems to have some issues with order tracking for woocommerce plugin since it is showing a shortcode of this last plugin on the forums root page (https://nextlevelgamingstore.com/forums/), and Im not even being able to edit this page or something. How can I fix that or just edit the forums root page? Also I would like to have the forums root in a page so I can edit it.

[wpturk]

No, you can not use the same snippet, since these are different hooks. You can use:

function rew_add_close_to_topics () {

        if ( bbp_is_topic_closed()) {
                echo '[Closed] ' ;
        }
}
add_action ('bbp_theme_before_topic_title' , 'rew_add_close_to_topics', 15);

[enkoes]

Hi, do u mean we replace
add_filter ('the_title' , 'rew_add_close_to_topics') ;

with
add_action ('bbp_theme_before_topic_title' , 'rew_add_close_to_topics', 15);?

[wpturk]

You can use

add_action ('bbp_theme_before_topic_title' , 'rew_add_close_to_topics', 15);

[Robin W]

I’ll add this functionality to style pack in a few days, but in the meantime

add_filter ('the_title' , 'rew_add_close_to_topics') ;

function rew_add_close_to_topics ($title) {
	if ( bbp_is_topic_closed()) {
		$closed = '[Closed]' ;
		$sep = ' ' ;
		$position = 'after' ;
		if (($position == 'before') && !str_contains($title, $closed)) $title = $closed.$sep.$title ;
		if (($position =='after') && !str_contains($title, $closed)) $title = $title.$sep.$closed ;
	}
return $title ;	
}

and amend words/position etc. as you wish.

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

Code Snippets

and change the background of the closed block to match your theme

[Robin W]

so is this with this function installed?

add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_post_date' , 'rew_change_to_freshness', 10 , 6) ;
add_filter ('bbp_get_reply_post_date' , 'rew_change_to_freshness', 10 , 6) ;

function rew_change_to_freshness ($result, $topic_id, $humanize, $gmt, $date, $time) {
	$result = bbp_get_time_since( bbp_convert_date( $time ) ) ;
	
return $result ;
}

[wpturk]

Probably, your theme or one of your plugin is already modifying external links to add “nofollow” attributes etc … and simultaneously breaking target="_blank" … Difficult to say before checking your theme and all your plugins. I would remove target="_blank" if it’s not working.

[wpturk]

🙂

function add_custom_content($content) {

    $topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id();
    $user_id = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id );

    if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster($user_id) ) {

            $after ='<p><i>Still struggling with your website(s) speed? Click <strong><a href="https://example.com/" target="_blank">here</a></strong>.</i></p>';
            $content = $content . $after;
    }
    return $content;
}
add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_content', 'add_custom_content');

[wpturk]

you have to be careful with the quotation marks:

function add_custom_content($content) {

    $topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id();
    $user_id = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id );

    if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster($user_id) ) {

            $after ='<p><i>Still struggling with your website(s) speed? Click <a href="https://example.com/">here</a>.</i></p>';
            $content = $content . $after;
    }
    return $content;
}
add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_content', 'add_custom_content');

[wpturk]

You can change the $before and $after variables to whatever you like. For example an external link before all topics:

function add_custom_content($content) {

    $topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id();
    $user_id = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id );

    if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster($user_id) ) {

            $before ='<p>This is my <a href="https://bbpress.org/">EXTERNAL LINK</a>.</p>';
            $after ='<p>TEXT AFTER</p>';
            $content = $before . $content . $after;
    }
    return $content;
}
add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_content', 'add_custom_content');

For the excerpt issue you can give a try with another priority:

function filter_the_excerpt( ) {
    return ' ';
}
add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'filter_the_excerpt', 999, 2 );

[Philippe Roussel]

No, that doesn’t do anything. I asked the question to the plugin author a few days ago but got no answer. One last request regarding the code you gave me earlier on: How can I insert an external link in my [TEXT]?

[wpturk]

Hi, I’ve not used this plugin so I don’t know how it works.

Maybe the plugin is using the WordPress excerpt, you can try this:

add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'filter_the_excerpt', 10, 2 );
    function filter_the_excerpt( ) {
    return ' ';
 }

[Philippe Roussel]

Hi,

I use the Post Comments as bbPress Topics plugin, which gives by default an excerpt of the concerned post. None of the other options seem to work but none of them suit me either. Expanding on the php code you gave earlier in this thread, would it be possible to simply delete all content in the topic other than “[See the full post at: …]” and, of course, my own [TEXT]?

Thank you

[wpturk]

you need this additional line if you want to strip replies too:

add_filter ('bbp_get_reply_content', 'aa_stripped_content');

[wpturk]

Hi, mostly formatting comes with copy-paste of html text. If you want to strip html from the text you can make use of some WordPress functions: wp_strip_all_tags(), convert_chars() etc …

ex:

function aa_stripped_content($content) {
    
    $content = wp_strip_all_tags($content);
    return $content;
}
add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_content', 'aa_stripped_content'); 

[Robin W]

ok, so if you go to

dashboard>subjects>all subjects, and then select ‘les abonnements’ (the subscriptions) for the chosen subject then select option ‘subscribe selected users’ and apply

are they then showing as ‘sucbribed’ and this in not working, or does the subssribed/unsubscribed not change ?

[enkoes]

Brilliant! Thanks for the codes. Just tested and it works like a charm! 😀

[wpturk]

As I guessed, it’s coming from your theme

You can try this: (it’s not tested)

function aa_profile_title ( $title, $id ) {

        if ( bbp_is_single_user_profile() && empty(get_post_type($id)) ) {

                $author_id = bbp_get_displayed_user_field('ID');
                $nickname = um_get_display_name( $author_id );
                $title = $nickname;
        }
        return $title;
}       
add_filter( 'the_title', 'aa_profile_title', 10, 2);

[imFiles]

This one works for bbpress: https://wordpress.org/plugins/contextual-related-posts/ if you want only related topics just go into Contextual Related Posts Settings and on the List tuning tab and on Post types to include select topic only. One thing it doesn’t have an automatic option to add the related items, so you need to added them either manually or the best way is with a fucntion.
I use this one to add it after each topic:

//add adsense after topic
add_action( 'bbp_template_after_replies_loop', 'rew_other_topics' );
function rew_other_topics () {
	 $topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id() ;
	 $forum_id = bbp_get_topic_forum_id($topic_id) ;
	if ( function_exists( 'echo_crp' ) ) { echo_crp(); }
}

[wpturk]

you have to be careful with the Quotation marks, try:

$before ='<p style="text-align:center">TEXT BEFORE</p>';

[enkoes]

Hi, I would like to display nickname (and not username) in the whole bbpress forum.

For topics list, I modified the code from a previous topic Show username instead of full name / display name and it works well so far.

See https://paste.pics/MVA62

The modified codes that I use is as follows:

add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_author_display_name' , 'rew_reply_change_to_nickname', 10 , 2 ) ;

function rew_reply_change_to_nickname ($author_name, $reply_id) {
	// Get the author ID
	$author_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id );
	$nickname = um_get_display_name( $author_id );
return $nickname ;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_author_display_name' , 'rew_topic_change_to_nickname', 10 , 2 ) ;

function rew_topic_change_to_nickname ($author_name, $topic_id) {
	// Get the author ID
	$author_id = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id );
	$nickname = um_get_display_name( $author_id );
return $nickname ;
}

Note: I use Ultimate Member (UM) plugin to display user details.

However, when comes to user profile, I’m struggling on how to force display nickname right above the avatar. Hope you can help me with that.

See https://paste.pics/MVA6A

Note: It’s very tedious to modify “display name publicly as” from the WordPress dashboard for every registered user. Thus hopefully codes may well do the job for me.

[wpturk]

Here we go:

function add_custom_content($content) {

    $topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id();
    $user_id = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id );

    if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster($user_id) ) {

            $before ="<p>TEXT BEFORE</p>";
            $after ="<p>TEXT AFTER</p>";
            $content = $before . $content . $after;
    }
    return $content;
}
add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_content', 'add_custom_content');
