Yes, it is PHP code mostly so that would go into a child themes functions.php file or into a plugin that can hold code snippets like functionality.
For any CSS listed you put that into your child themes style.css file or any other custom css plugin you may have.
The widget doesn’t really work by days. It displayed the recently published topics by default. If a topic is published twenty days ago and none were published until one was five minutes ago, those two topics are next to each other in the widget listing.
You can change it to display topics that have been posted last though.
To style the widget you can use the class .widget_display_topics
THen you could do something like this.
.widget_display_topics
.widget_display_topics li
.widget_display_topics a
or add whatever additional classes are in the source code.
Hi
which file shall I add those codex so future upgrade won;t cause any issues
theme’s functions.php file?
Toward the bottom of #24 it mentions that icon fonts can work too.
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
Not my forum.
I think your theme author pretty much just took this and fused it with their theme.
https://github.com/syamilmj/Supportte
This theme (supportte) is really intended to be used as a theme for Envato authors that want a support forum also for their product.
The verification dialogue is there because the Aqua Verifier plugin is required for some instances of your bbPress forums. The plugin is to restrict access to only users who bought a product from you (best if you are an Envato theme author) and they need to input the purchase code of the product they purchased (from Envato) to have access to the forums.
https://github.com/syamilmj/Aqua-Verifier
There is no setting in bbPress that can modify this like I said, it is all in your theme and the Aqua Verifier plugin is required.
Link your theme author to this topic if you need to.
Hi, I’m unsing that patch in a couple of sites, and it seems to work. Where do you think there is a problem? In my blogs I’ve just added a filter which replaces the moderation key used by bbpress (the variable $blacklist in the code which initially contains the moderation keys of WordPress).
Bye, Stefano.
Yes great find, thank you Robkk,
Now you can also do this, ..and make the pagination an unordered list like it should be by the default. 🙂
function ntwb_bbpress_custom_pagination( $args ) {
$args['type'] = 'list';
$args['prev_text'] = 'previous';
$args['next_text'] = 'next';
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_topic_pagination', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_pagination' );
WP Codex: all those args should probably work now.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/paginate_links
Wait, scrap that. I’d copied the code from the email alert, not the forum. Guess it picked up incorrect syntax this way. Copied from the forum and it works a treat.
Thank you!
Hi Rob,
Thanks for this. Unfortunately if I add this to my functions.php Dreamweaver tells me there is a syntax error on lines 21 to 22 (which is the second and third lines in your code), and I don’t know php well enough to work out what’s wrong. My complete functions.php file, with your code, is this:
<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'load_dashicons_front_end' );
function load_dashicons_front_end() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'dashicons' );
}
function bp_keep_user_private( $user_login, $user ) {
global $wpdb;
if( 'demo' === $user->user_login ) {
$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE $wpdb->users SET user_status = 2 WHERE ID = %d", $user->ID ) );
}
}
add_action( 'wp_login', 'bp_keep_user_private', 10, 2 );
add_filter('bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args', 'ntwb_bbpress_list_forums' );
function ntwb_bbpress_list_forums() {
$args['show_topic_count'] = false;
$args['show_reply_count'] = false;
return $args;
}
I think this should do it. If it does not change the word before in the filter to after.
add_filter('bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args', 'ntwb_bbpress_list_forums' );
function ntwb_bbpress_list_forums() {
$args['show_topic_count'] = false;
$args['show_reply_count'] = false;
return $args;
}
This is strange..
Why is my filter not working. When I look at my screenshot you can see that this array has an apply_filter() function before the variable/array goes through the paginate_links().
This filter I should use, I expect if I want to make any changes to the array before it gets pulled into the paginate_links() function – right?
So I created this add_filter function to test if I can change the <– arrow –> symbols. But for some reason no success at all.
function xx_my_stuff( $bbp_topic_pagination ) {
$bbp_topic_pagination = array(
'prev_text' => 'test',
'next_text' => 'test',
);
return $bbp_topic_pagination;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_topic_pagination', 'xx_my_stuff' );
use this code for a bbpress.php file if you already created one. It is basically the full width template already in your theme. .
Getting Started in Modifying the Main bbPress Template
<?php
/**
* The main template file for bbPress.
*
* @package Quark
* @since Quark 1.0
*/
get_header(); ?>
<div id="primary" class="site-content row" role="main">
<div class="col grid_12_of_12">
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>
<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
<?php endif; // end have_posts() check ?>
</div> <!-- /.col.grid_12_of_12 -->
</div><!-- /#primary.site-content.row -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Thanks so much for responding and providing this code. It doesn’t quite do it in my case, as it allows users to choose to post to categories as well as forums, and I’d like to force them to choose a forum.
Yes, there is a filter.
function bbp_get_forum_post_type_supports() {
return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_forum_post_type_supports', array(
'title',
'editor',
'revisions'
) );
}
@themk850
sorry for the late reply, but try this.
add_filter('bbp_after_list_forums_parse_args', 'ntwb_bbpress_list_forums' );
function ntwb_bbpress_list_forums() {
$args['separator'] = '';
return $args;
}
or I guess instead of using my CSS and the above function just use this instead.
add_filter('bbp_after_list_forums_parse_args', 'ntwb_bbpress_list_forums' );
function ntwb_bbpress_list_forums() {
$args['separator'] = '</br>';
return $args;
}
Try this.
add_filter('bbp_after_list_forums_parse_args', 'ntwb_bbpress_list_forums' );
function ntwb_bbpress_list_forums() {
$args['separator'] = '';
return $args;
}
Don’t mess with template files.
You can copy form-forum.php from the bbPress plugin templates into a folder called bbpress in your child theme and remove 'show_none' => __( '(No Parent)', 'bbpress' ), so that they have to choose a parent forum.
Look for this in the file.
<p>
<label for="bbp_forum_parent_id"><?php _e( 'Parent Forum:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
<?php
bbp_dropdown( array(
'select_id' => 'bbp_forum_parent_id',
'show_none' => __( '(No Parent)', 'bbpress' ),
'selected' => bbp_get_form_forum_parent(),
'exclude' => bbp_get_forum_id()
) );
?>
</p>
End up with something like this.
<p>
<label for="bbp_forum_parent_id"><?php _e( 'Parent Forum:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
<?php
bbp_dropdown( array(
'select_id' => 'bbp_forum_parent_id',
'selected' => bbp_get_form_forum_parent(),
'exclude' => bbp_get_forum_id()
) );
?>
</p>
See if this plugin helps/still works.
bbp additional shortcodes
Also Robin’s other plugin might have the same functionality somewhere in it.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
I am just saying the auto suggest topics plugin’s script might make it into core if it was in forum search and extend that, then it could also be use for the new topic title too. It is just the way I see it.
1. oembed in bbPress basically uses that same filter, but for each of the topics and replies content. The filter is just wrapped in a conditional if you did enable oembeds in bbPress.
Here is the code for replies that is in the bbPress core.
function bbp_reply_content_autoembed() {
global $wp_embed;
if ( bbp_use_autoembed() && is_a( $wp_embed, 'WP_Embed' ) ) {
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', array( $wp_embed, 'autoembed' ), 2 );
}
}
Maybe removing the shortcode helps, but I will keep an eye on that.
I do not think the description needs that much of a drastic change. Because it might matter more to know the last who posted, when was the last post, how many users are in the topic, and how many posts, and also this information is pretty handy for regular forum users to know about. Plus bbpress has a way to see pending/spam replies in a topic by clicking the hidden posts link in the description.
There needs to be information that tells google that this is a forum, and not a blog post for example.
Published date is almost always going to get picked up by google.
There might be other areas to add schematic microdata like what is listed in this.
http://schema.org/DiscussionForumPosting
The data might also be best to place around the actual post.
Since I don’t want you to remove all the notices with CSS that have the bbp-template-notice class. Copy the form-topic.php and form-reply.php templates into a folder called bbpress in your child theme and look for something like this code below, then remove it.
<?php if ( current_user_can( 'unfiltered_html' ) ) : ?>
<div class="bbp-template-notice">
<p><?php _e( 'Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content.', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

For having a forum show up instead of the (No Forum), copy form-topic.php in your child theme.
In the code toward line 109 you would see something like this.
<?php if ( !bbp_is_single_forum() ) : ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_form_forum' ); ?>
<p>
<label for="bbp_forum_id"><?php _e( 'Forum:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
<?php
bbp_dropdown( array(
'show_none' => __( '(No Forum)', 'bbpress' ),
'selected' => bbp_get_form_topic_forum()
) );
?>
</p>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_form_forum' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Remove 'show_none' => __( '(No Forum)', 'bbpress' ), so it would look like this.
<?php if ( !bbp_is_single_forum() ) : ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_form_forum' ); ?>
<p>
<label for="bbp_forum_id"><?php _e( 'Forum:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
<?php
bbp_dropdown( array(
'selected' => bbp_get_form_topic_forum()
) );
?>
</p>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_form_forum' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

The default forum shown is whatever is first in the forum index page. It either is sorted by publish date first or the forum ordered first if you manually changed the forum order by editing the forum.
@hotconductor
Thats just a shortcode that you put in a separate page, not the topic form being displayed below forums using the form-topic.php template.
Try some troubleshooting if you haven’t already.
Troubleshooting
Try a default theme activated with only bbPress activated to see if the problem persists.
Also ask a couple of these questions.
Do you have a multisite installation?
Is WordPress installed in a sub-folder?
What is the url you get when you try to logout?
What areas did you try to logout from? The WordPress Toolbar, bbPress login widget, something else?
Did this issue occur when you immediately activated bbPress? Or did the issue occur after a certain upgrade?
Did you have any cache plugins activated? Have you tried flushing the cache? If it is deactivated reactivate the plugin and flush the cache.
Anything that can cache activated on your site, server cache, cloudflare, object cache, opcode caching?
What hosting provider do you have?
