@snecz

i gave you two shortcodes for each instead

place the two functions into your child themes functions.php or add the snippets to a functionality plugin.

[bbp-topic-stats]

function rk_bbp_topic_stats() {
    $stats = bbp_get_statistics();
    echo "<dl role='main'><dt>Topics</dt><dd><strong>";
    echo esc_html( $stats['topic_count'] );
    echo "</strong></dd></dl>";
}

add_shortcode('bbp-topic-stats', 'rk_bbp_topic_stats'); 

[bbp-reply-stats]

function rk_bbp_reply_stats() {
    $stats = bbp_get_statistics();
    echo "<dl role='main'><dt>Replies</dt><dd><strong>";
    echo esc_html( $stats['reply_count'] );
    echo "</strong></dd></dl>";
}

add_shortcode('bbp-reply-stats', 'rk_bbp_reply_stats');

@sina_mech

add this into your child themes functions.php file or put the snippet in a functionality plugin.

function rk_new_topic_button() {
	echo '<a href="#new-topic-0" class="bbp-new-topic-button button btn input[type="button"]" >New Topic</a>';
}

add_action('bbp_template_before_topics_loop','rk_new_topic_button');

[Robkk]

add this to your child themes functions.php file or insert this snippet into a functionality plugin and all links posted to your forum would just return plain text.

remove_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bbp_make_clickable', 4    );	
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'bbp_make_clickable', 4    );

Either comment out the code section using standard PHP syntax or simply remove that chunk of code 🙂

If your site is that busy, you really should have a test site

Hi there!

We’re trying to move our forums from a custom Q&A platform to bbPress… very glad there is now an importer! 🙂

So I copied example.php to myimport.php, changed the class name, and updated the tables/columns that apply (the ones that exist in the old database).

And ran the import…

But I keep running into import errors for fields that don’t apply as they don’t exist in the other database, like forums_table.the_reply_count

So for a field that just does not exist in the old database, what’s the proper syntax for “ignore this”? 🙂

For example, this one…

// Forum topic count (Stored in postmeta)
		$this->field_map[] = array(
			'from_tablename' => 'forums_table',
			'from_fieldname' => 'the_topic_count',
			'to_type'        => 'forum',
			'to_fieldname'   => '_bbp_topic_count'
		);

I looked for this on the importer codex page, but just don’t see it. 🙂

Thanks!
Dan

Thanks Robkk. [bbp-stats] is working. But I need topic count and replies count separately and in different places.
So I’ve tried with <?php echo esc_html( $stats['topic_count'] ); ?> and <?php echo esc_html( $stats['reply_count'] ); ?> but this code doesn’t work on my home page.
Why is that?

I recently moved our bbPress installation from one folder to another. Everything seemed to go well, accept when I loggged in, my admin account lost all admin privileges.

Fortunately, I have another second test bbPress installation and could see what admin status looks like in phpmyadmin.

So, in the first installation, using phpmyadmin, in the metavalue of the wp_usermeta table, I changed:

a:2:{s:10:"subscriber";i:1;s:15:"bbp_participant";b:1;}

to…

a:2:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;s:13:"bbp_keymaster";b:1;}

It seems to work. My admin account has admin privileges.

Now I understand the administrator and bbp_keymaster in the string, but what about the rest of the characters? For example, I changed s:10 to s:13.

Is this OK?

I’m just not sure what these other characters mean and what they need to be.

Thanks for any help.

I already coded a private bbPress Plugin, that extends it to something like Mailman.
It just periodically catches mails to @forum.domain.tld via IMAP and adds a new reply to the topic with the Mail content (quotation skipped).
The notification is tweaked: the Reply-To header is replaced by reply-[topic-id]@forum.domain.tld, so the user can easily reply to the topic. But this is currently done by completely replacing the bbp_notify_topic_subscribers function with my own one (including the original content, just replacing the Reply-To).
All calls to bbp_subscription_mail_headers and bbp_subscription_from_email or bbp_subscription_to_email are just called with $headers or the address itself. As of 1.5.6 the Reply-To is no longer set by bbPress.

Will there be a way to include the topic-id (preferred in header altering) in upcoming releases? Or maybe a solution by bbPress itself to respond to notification Mails?

[xenous]

you can configure the noreply email simply with:

add_filter('bbp_get_do_not_reply_address','my_bbp_no_reply_email');
function no_reply_email(){
    $email = 'noreply@yourdomain.com';
    return $email;
}

bbPress uses BCC for sending subscription emails and the noreply email is used as to field. This is for better hardware (cpu and memory) usage as if you were to loop each user subscribed to content it would be troublesome.
you can change that default to email address as well with :

add_filter('bbp_subscription_to_email','my_bbp_subscription_to_email');
function my_bbp_subscription_to_email(){
    $email = 'noreply@yourdomain.com'; // any email you want
    return $email;
}

I hope this helps.

@katootje Robin forgot he already had this type of functionality in one of his other plugins.

bbp additional shortcodes

@casnbug

its definitely something wrong with the freshness link just cant tell if a code snippet could be affecting the code or what.

you can go through the basic troubleshooting for general issues by following this post

@digitalninjaza

this should do what your talking about

function rk_topic_description() {
	    	echo bbp_topic_excerpt();
}

add_action('bbp_theme_after_topic_title','rk_topic_description');

[Robkk]

use the bbpress stats widget or shortcode [bbp-stats] in a page

for just all topics it would placing these in a template.

these come the template content-statistics.php which you could copy into child theme into a folder called bbpress and customize.

<?php echo esc_html( $stats['topic_count'] ); ?>

for just replies it would be

<?php echo esc_html( $stats['reply_count'] ); ?>

[Robkk]

i think this would require making a bbpress.php file from a copy of the page.php file and then make sure the sidebar is still there.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

if you need help it would be helpful to also contact your theme author about this.

[Robkk]

i don’t now where to insert the code you told and also thanks for your help

alright do you know what FTP is?? or how to upload files through your hosts file manager??

because you would bascially just copy that file from here

https://github.com/robkk/bbPress-Hierarchical-Forum-and-Category-Layout/

and put it into your child theme (if you have a child theme) and put it into a folder called bbpress.

Then you would have to create categories for every forum you have for it to have this effect like phpbb has.

if you need a better explanation on certain things please just ask and i will try to help you.

I just installed bbPress version 2.5.6 on WordPress 4.1.1 on a local development server (XAMPP).

After activiting the plugin, if I visit any frontend page on my site I get an error appear right after the Admin Bar.

Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in localhost\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\common\functions.php on line 1446

I did some searching and found many people have a conflict with NextGen Gallery, however I don’t have that plugin installed.

I can confirm this error still happens with 2015 theme.

[wuichy]

The thing is that im new in wordpress this is my webpage http://www.wuichy.com and i don’t now where to insert the code you told and also thanks for your help

[Robin W]

sorry without spending a large amount of time and code, best I can come up with.

[Robin W]

yes, just create a topic, no forums, and then create a page with the following shortcode

[bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id]

That way you’ll just have a page with that one topic.

[Robin W]

presume you have worked through

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

[Robin W]

ok, so is it the same with plugins disabled and default theme as per

Before Posting

and how is your forums page constructed – eg shortcodes, bbpress.php file etc.

[Robin W]

ok,

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

contains a highly customisable latest activity widget

and

https://wordpress.org/plugins/amr-shortcode-any-widget/

turns any widget into shortcode
