I’m uncomfortable changing the theme code with the explanations on the link that was given. Can you be more specific as to what I need to do? Thanks!
1.
The following if added to your functions file will add fields, you can alter the coding as needed
//add code for adding first and last name to registration
//1. Add a new form element...
add_action('register_form','myplugin_register_form');
function myplugin_register_form (){
$first_name = ( isset( $_POST['first_name'] ) ) ? $_POST['first_name']: '';
$last_name = ( isset( $_POST['last_name'] ) ) ? $_POST['last_name']: '';
?>
<p>
<label for="first_name"><?php _e('First Name as people call you eg Dave','mydomain') ?><br />
<input type="text" name="first_name" id="first_name" class="input" value="<?php echo esc_attr(stripslashes($first_name)); ?>" size="25" /></label>
</p>
<p>
<label for="last_name"><?php _e('Last Name','mydomain') ?><br />
<input type="text" name="last_name" id="last_name" class="input" value="<?php echo esc_attr(stripslashes($last_name)); ?>" size="25" /></label>
</p>
<?php
}
//2. Add validation. In this case, we make sure first_name is required.
add_filter('registration_errors', 'myplugin_registration_errors', 10, 3);
function myplugin_registration_errors ($errors, $sanitized_user_login, $user_email) {
if ( empty( $_POST['first_name'] ) )
$errors->add( 'first_name_error', __('<strong>ERROR</strong>: You must include a first name.','mydomain') );
if ( empty( $_POST['last_name'] ) )
$errors->add( 'last_name_error', __('<strong>ERROR</strong>: You must include a last name.','mydomain') );
return $errors;
}
//3. Finally, save our extra registration user meta.
add_action('user_register', 'myplugin_user_register');
function myplugin_user_register ($user_id) {
if ( isset( $_POST['first_name'] ) )
update_user_meta($user_id, 'first_name', $_POST['first_name']);
if ( isset( $_POST['last_name'] ) )
update_user_meta($user_id, 'last_name', $_POST['last_name']);
}
Plenty of captcha plugins – just google ‘wordpress plugin captcha’
If you’d like to specify your req’s further, I’ll try to help.
2. no need to change theme, just add the following to your css file
.site-content .entry-header, .site-content .entry-content, .site-content .entry-summary, .site-content .entry-meta, .page-content {
max-width: 100% !important;
}
Functions files and child themes – explained !
that is entirely intentional – it lets keymasters see IP addresses to spot people who might post under several names.
you could hide it with css
.bbp-reply-ip {
display : none !important ;
}
or amend line 512 of loop-single-reply
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
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
then take out line 51 – you may also need to do this to loop-single-topic
or use a filter to get rid of it
function remove_ip () {
$author_ip = '' ;
return $author_ip ;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_author_ip', 'remove_ip');
sorry capabilities are forum wide, and lots of code would be needed to make them forum specific.
I can’t immediately think of an alternate solution
Thanks, that is very helpful, but it change roles globally. I need it for a specific forum.
- is possible call these actions to an existing role?
- and is possible call them only for a specific forum
I tried this but seems not work…. :/
// BBPRESS ROLES CONFIG FOR SPECIFIC FORUM
if ( bbp_forum_title(); == "My Forum Title" ) {
function add_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role )
{
/* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
if( $role == 'participant' )
$caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
return $caps;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'add_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );
function custom_capabilities( $role )
{
switch ( $role )
{
/* Capabilities for 'tutor' role */
case 'participant':
return array(
// Primary caps
'spectate' => true,
'participate' => true,
'moderate' => false,
'throttle' => false,
'view_trash' => false,
// Forum caps
'publish_forums' => false,
'edit_forums' => false,
'edit_others_forums' => false,
'delete_forums' => false,
'delete_others_forums' => false,
'read_private_forums' => false,
'read_hidden_forums' => false,
// Topic caps
'publish_topics' => false,
'edit_topics' => false,
'edit_others_topics' => false,
'delete_topics' => false,
'delete_others_topics' => false,
'read_private_topics' => false,
// Reply caps
'publish_replies' => true,
'edit_replies' => true,
'edit_others_replies' => false,
'delete_replies' => true,
'delete_others_replies' => false,
'read_private_replies' => false,
// Topic tag caps
'manage_topic_tags' => false,
'edit_topic_tags' => false,
'delete_topic_tags' => false,
'assign_topic_tags' => false,
);
break;
default :
return $role;
}
}
}
Thank you for your reply. I have “bbpress” folder in MY_THEME folder. I added a functions.php file in that bbpress folder, and inserted your code, and saved. but nothing happened 🙁 Am I doing it right?
@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');
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?
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
Before Posting
@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');
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'] ); ?>
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.
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.
