I do and admins and moderators will see the form and can work with it, but users/subscribers will see the message “You cannot create new topics.” as described here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-topic-form-shortcode-issue/ a topic from almost 3 years ago.

I place the shortcode in the search result page if there are no instances found of what they are trying to look for, so they can ask that question on the forums.

[Robkk]

id say look at the bbPress breadcrumbs code and copy that and add it to your custom breadcrumbs.

its in bbpress>includes>common>

then search breadcrumbs in an editor like notepad++

[Robkk]

you probably can replace it with a post count tag that outputs the number of replies in a topic for example.

i think this is it.

<?php bbp_topic_post_count ?>

then output some text after that.

[Robkk]

bbPress doesnt output shortcodes use something like this

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-do-short-codes/

[Robkk]

you really shouldn’t edit core code…i hope you havent messed something up and now are getting a domino effect of issues.

you should also contact wp user avatar plugin support just in case too.

i gotta say email me , so i can double check your setup

Contact

im mostly going to ask how you set up your forum and see if i can duplicate the issue.

[Robkk]

you can hide them with CSS

.forum-archive .status-private {
display:none;
}

[Robkk]

what are you trying to do with the shortcode?

it should work if you just place [bbp-topic-form] in a page or a sidebar widget like blask studio tinymce widget.

[Robkk]

voice count shows how many users are in a particular topic.

for topics

you can edit the loop-single-topic.php file by copying it into your child theme and changing the voice count number code to whatever php tag you have from a plugin that has a specific template tag to show a posts like count.

change <?php bbp_topic_voice_count(); ?> with what you have.

to edit the label voice in the bbPress header you edit loop-topics.php and change <?php _e( 'Voices', 'bbpress' ); ?> and change it <?php _e( 'Likes', 'bbpress' ); ?>

for forums

its close to the same instead look for loop-forums.php and loop-single-forum.php

and the php code would be similar but instead of topic_ look for forum_

[Robkk]

use FTP and copy page.php and rename it to bbpress.php , then remove all the unwanted code like the read more buttn .

This usually fixes most theme problems.

need anymore help with this reply back , and i will give you a more detailed explaination.

[Robkk]

it is most likely that you tried to make avatars bigger with CSS when they were originally sized to be smaller in the PHP code hence why you would see them blurry because you are basically stretching a small image.

link to the blurred avatars to double check though on your site.

Hey Robin – I appreciate your response but my theme designer gave me some code to make it work.

http://www.ohio-offroad.com

For reference, this is the custom CSS we entered:

/* bbPress WP Tweak plugin left justified text fix 3-13-2015 */
#sidebar.sidebar-left{ text-align: initial !important; }

Hello,

i want to use a widget (bbpress login) and a shortcode ([bbp-lost-pass]).

But the appearance seems to be broken. The buttons are left. The descriptions are splitted. You can check the issues here:

forex.die-analysten.com/login/
forex.die-analysten.com/login/lost-pass/

how can i fix that?

Kind Regards
Pierre

An update on this.

I got it to work by editing the .htaccess file.

Add this code block at the start of the file:

<FilesMatch “^(wp-login|wp-log|index)\.php$”>
Header set Set-Cookie wordpress_test_cookie=WP+Cookie+check
</FilesMatch>

Regards
Rune

When I debuged WP_Query in bbpress/includes/topics/template.php on line 203, it prints:

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS  wp_2_posts.ID FROM wp_2_posts  INNER JOIN wp_2_postmeta ON ( wp_2_posts.ID = wp_2_postmeta.post_id ) WHERE 1=1  AND wp_2_posts.post_parent = 5080  AND wp_2_posts.post_type = 'post' AND (wp_2_posts.post_status = 'publish' OR wp_2_posts.post_status = 'closed' OR wp_2_posts.post_status = 'private' OR wp_2_posts.post_status = 'hidden') AND ( 
  wp_2_postmeta.meta_key = '_bbp_last_active_time'
) GROUP BY wp_2_posts.ID ORDER BY wp_2_postmeta.meta_value DESC LIMIT 0, 15

with post_type=post, but it should be post_type=topic. Damn.

[VojtaSvoboda]

When I put

<div id="bbpress-forums" data-topic-id="<?=bbp_get_topic_id()?>">

to the template, it prints me: data-topic-id=”0″.

Hi, I have searched high and low for anything on putting in a header for each forum on my site’s board. For instance, I have different forums for the various groups within my organization. I’d like for when a member of a certain group clicks on the group forum, a header or a banner specifically made for that group will be displayed for their section of the board. Anyone have any ideas? Keep in mind I don’t know a lick of code and not really comfortable with manipulating code so if you have any ideas a step by step would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

I had this issue since i very first installed BBpress along with the plugin – WP User Avatar.

The avatars are not showing in the forum at all. Its a completely bespoke WordPress theme with nothing in the functions.php to be doing any filtering or stripping out extensions of any type.
Ive also disabled every single plugin except bbpress & the avatars plugin & i still get the problem.

Can anyone please help me overcome this problem?

I did notice that in the bbpress / filters.php the line which says : add_filter( ‘bbp_get_reply_author_link’, ‘stripslashes’ ); had to be commented out because it was removing the backslashes from the avatar URL making things even worse.

I dont like the fact ive had to manipulate core code to do this. Surely there has to be a better was to get avatars working.

Thank you 🙂

[Robkk]

last patch says 19months so i wouldnt touch it.

maybe using a custom last edit log using the two template tags below would work

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_modified_date
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_modified_author

[Robkk]

@dimplefacect

glad you found the information you needed , the links i should have gave you either of these two

this one is cut to the chase

https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/

and this one is more explanatory and has more steps to help improve your forum.

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

if you need anymore guides for bbPress the codex is a great place to look.

[butterzeugs]

i did it just like you sayed but still no effect 🙁

maybe some other plugin i have to change the code ?

[Robin W]

That code works exactly as described.

please check that you have exited and re-entered your browser to clear
that you aren’t running any caching software
That you have only changed ’40’ to ’80’ and saved and uploaded the change

[dimplefaceCT]

Thanks @robkk. I think I need more hand-holding. I did go to https://codex.bbpress.org/ and still couldn’t figure the steps to taking the forum I built under the forum tab and moving it onto a page. Any idea on a tutorial for that step?

[butterzeugs]

thx but how can i change the size of it ?

i cant find some code where i can change it

[Robin W]

The avatar size is hard coded into the login widget.

see

bbpress/includes/common/widgets.php

around line 141

You can change it directly in here, but keep a note of it, as it will be overwritten by upgrades. or if you have the skill, you could copy and create a new widget within your child theme

[Robin W]

if that doesn’t work, then out it in your theme’s style.css, but tag it as !important

#bbpress-forums, #buddypress {
 clear: both !important;
 margin-bottom: 20px !important;
 overflow: hidden !important;
 font-size: 12px !important;
 padding:20px !important;
 background:rgb(10, 9, 9) !important;
}
