I spent a couple of hours yesterday hunting down the issue.

This code fixes it :

add_filter ('astra_single_layout_one_banner_visibility', 'astra_bbpress_fix', 50) ;

function astra_bbpress_fix ($value) {
	if( class_exists( 'bbpress' ) ) {
		if (bbp_is_single_user()) return false ;
		if (bbp_is_search()) return false ;
	}
return $value ;
}

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

Apologies for the delay is responding to this.

Assuming you are ok with FTP, then

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

transfer this to your pc and edit to remove

<p>
			<label for="bbp_anonymous_email"><?php esc_html_e( 'Mail (will not be published) (required):', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
			<input type="text" id="bbp_anonymous_email"   value="<?php bbp_author_email(); ?>" size="40" maxlength="100" name="bbp_anonymous_email" />
		</p>

		<p>
			<label for="bbp_anonymous_website"><?php esc_html_e( 'Website:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
			<input type="text" id="bbp_anonymous_website" value="<?php bbp_author_url(); ?>" size="40" maxlength="200" name="bbp_anonymous_website" />
		</p>

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-anonymous.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Alternately if this all confuses you, I can do this as a plugin, but it would be a paid bit of work (but not expensive) – contact me via http://www.rewweb.co.uk/contact-me/

Hi Robin – do you perhaps have any solution to that code? I’m trying to grey out the user’s email on their profile page so they can see it but not be able to update it (same as username). But I need users to update other info like website and bio. That code above does not allow *any* edits to profile page. So my users are unable to write anything into their bio if I use that code.

[valarcher]

Hi Robin – thanks million for renaming title. That php works perfectly. Sadly the other problem of 1/3-col doesn’t work addressing #bbpress-forums. It works if I target the entire page, then every forum title like this:
#post-9486,#bbp-forum-9475,#bbp-forum-9473,etc {width:100%;}
but the moderator doesn’t have access to css so won’t be able to add every forum to css when she creates it.

I’ll carry on hounding astra for solution. Otherwise worst case scenario I just set blog archives to 1 column.

While I have you… your code here:
/** bbPress: add description under forum titles
https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/ */

function rw_singleforum_description() {
  echo '<div class="bbp-forumpage-content">';
  echo bbp_forum_content();
  echo '</div>';
}
add_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum' , 'rw_singleforum_description');

You have the first echo as “bbp-forum-content” but by changing it to “forumpage-content”, we’re able to target the description on index page and description on forum page separately in css, eg. on forum pages I have it red bold and centered, whereas on index page I have it in regular left-aligned text.

Thanks million for all the work you put into the codex! I’m not keen on installing plugins such as your style pack, so codex is really helpful finding just the php I need.

Do you perhaps have any solution to this code? I’m trying to grey out the user’s email on their profile page so they can’t update it. But I need users to update other info like website and bio. However with code below, if I test writing words in bio (as a logged in participator, not as keymaster) and try saving it, I get “Error: Please enter an email address.” I can see the email greyed out there.

Do you know a way to fix it so ONLY the email and role can NOT be changed (although role does not even display on a participant user’s page) and everything else can be edited? (except for username of course)

/** bbPress/WP: prevents subscriber from changing email (greyed out)
https://www.role-editor.com/hide-disable-wordpress-user-profile-fields/ */

add_action('admin_init', 'user_profile_fields_disable');
function user_profile_fields_disable() {
global $pagenow;
// apply only to user profile or user edit pages
if ($pagenow!=='profile.php' && $pagenow!=='user-edit.php') {
return;
}
// do not change anything for the administrator
if (current_user_can('administrator')) {
return;
}
add_action( 'admin_footer', 'user_profile_fields_disable_js' );
}
/**
* Disables selected fields in WP Admin user profile (profile.php, user-edit.php)
*/
function user_profile_fields_disable_js() {
?>
<script>
jQuery(document).ready( function($) {
var fields_to_disable = ['email', 'role'];
for(i=0; i<fields_to_disable.length; i++) {
if ( $('#'+ fields_to_disable[i]).length ) {
$('#'+ fields_to_disable[i]).attr("disabled", "disabled");
}
}
});
</script>
<?php
}

I know nothing about php – other than simple stuff like seeing I can change forum-content to forumpage-content!

[Robin W]

so for your first, try this

add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title', 'rew_amend_forums' , 10 , 3) ;

function rew_amend_forums ($title, $original_title, $prefix ) {
	if ($title == 'Forums') $title = 'Private Forums' ;
return $title ;
}

for your second, this is really one for Astra – I could spend many hours looking for an answer is their code.

but based on your previous post you could try

#bbpress-forums {width:100%;}

Hi – I’m trying to change the title of my forum index page. I tried item 3 method 2 at:

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

— saving my index page as /members (not /forums) as per WP settings, and then tried to give members page in wordpress the title “Private Forums” (instead of title Members). It displays as “Private Forums” (not “Members”) in the breadcrumb. But still on main index page, it displays only the title “Forums.”

I’m using the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] on /members page as I have text above and below it.

What can I add to functions.php that will force that index page to display the title “Private Forums”?

Thank you!

[Sergio De Falco]

My step up, also install/update Gutenberg standalone plugin to the latest version and add this to your own plugin / theme functions.php

function envireit_bbp_register_forum_post_type( $args ) {
	$args['show_in_rest'] = true;

	return $args;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_register_forum_post_type', 'envireit_bbp_register_forum_post_type' );

function envireit_bbp_register_topic_post_type( $args ) {
	$args['show_in_rest'] = true;

	return $args;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'envireit_bbp_register_topic_post_type' );

function envireit_bbp_register_reply_post_type( $args ) {
	$args['show_in_rest'] = true;

	return $args;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_register_reply_post_type', 'envireit_bbp_register_reply_post_type' );

With this you will be able to build via site builder, your own forums, topics and replies page. Just replace the content loop with the article content block.

I tested your codes working without problem. By the way I didn’t use header color. Just footer enough because inside “forum index styling” changing already.
Sincerely thanks Robin, have a good day.

[Robin W]

waiting for an email from someone else, so playing with this – this should work

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header {
	background-color: blue;
}
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-footer {
	background-color: green;
}

if you put this in

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>custom css

then it will exceute at the right point

let me know if it doesn’t work

[Robin W]

In suspect if you are posting as you (eg say a keymaster) then it won’t do the check, can’t say for sure without delving into code, but try as a participant

[Mike Witt]

That’s what I was planning to do, but I can’t replicate the problem. When I just make a couple of posts and replies, I don’t get the php notice. That’s why I was thinking maybe it wasn’t bbPress. There must be something special I need to do, to invoke the “blacklist” thing? It happens every once in a while. But I can’t find an action that causes it to happen. I gather that you don’t see it happening, right?

so try this code, amending the numbers to what you want

if (wp_is_mobile()) {
add_filter ('bbp_get_topics_per_page', 'mobile_topics_per_page') ;
add_filter ('bbp_get_replies_per_page', 'mobile_replies_per_page') ;
}

function mobile_topics_per_page () {
	return '4' ;
}

function mobile_replies_per_page () {
	return '3' ;
}

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

ok, not quite sure why this occurred, but the bit that says

('4185', 'as__bbp_favorites, '312810')

is lacking a closing ‘ on 'as__bbp_favorites so should read

('4185', 'as__bbp_favorites', '312810')

Is this a one off, or is it now doing this everytime?

[paulmist]

This works great with a minor tweak…

if( !is_user_logged_in() && $rep_position > 1 )

However – is it possible to hide replies and not just their content?

Tried using bbp_get_reply as a filter with no luck.

Hi,

A MySQL syntax error has started cropping up recently, even though I have made no changes that might be related to this (same MySQL version, same PHP version, same bbPress version, same WordPress version). Can anyone enlighten me on what might be causing this?

Once again, this only started happening recently despite the lack of any significant related changes – I have been doing forum repairs for years without any errors.

This should do the job: (put this in your functions.php)

function bb_auth_reply_view( $reply_id ) {
        $reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $reply_id );

        // Check if password is required
        if ( post_password_required( $reply_id ) )
        return get_the_password_form();

        $content = get_post_field( 'post_content', $reply_id );

        // first topic reply shouldn’t be hiding
        $rep_position = bbp_get_reply_position($reply_id);

        // if user is not logged in and not the first post topic
        if( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
                return "Replies only viewable for logged in users";
        } else {
                // return normal
                return $content;
        }

}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bb_auth_reply_view' );

i use this code for differentiate lead topic :

function custom_bbp_show_lead_topic( $show_lead ) {
$show_lead[] = ‘true’;
return $show_lead;
}

add_filter(‘bbp_show_lead_topic’, ‘custom_bbp_show_lead_topic’ );

now I want to display @mentionname too on lead topic, basically it’s like bbpress forum, however I can’t do it, anyone can help ?

[webcreations907]

The below code should set it to unlimited number of forums, either paste the code into your functions.php file within your theme, or use the Code Snippets plugin listed above.

if(!function_exists('bbp_increase_forum_display_count')){
	function bbp_increase_forum_display_count( $args = array() ){
		$args['posts_per_page'] = -1;
		return $args;
	}
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_has_forums_parse_args', 'bbp_increase_forum_display_count' );

this is what I’ve been looking for, thanks….permitt to copy code.

Hi Robin, your bbpstyle plugin is very nice but unfortunately it’s breaking my theme. (Jannah premium) So I couldn’t use. On the other hand Ian Stanley’s moderation plugin very nice. I’m using it for test site but last updating 9 years ago. I’m confused to use in real site. No code for function file? I want to approve for replies and topics not registered users.

Should have mentioned that you should added that into a child theme functions.php file so that when you update the theme you won’t lose that code.

@robin-w usually recommends a code snippet plugin for adding custom code, but I don’t recall the name of that plugin.
