There is a ticket for a future release.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1989

you can hide them all with CSS

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content ul.bbp-topic-revision-log, 
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content ul.bbp-topic-revision-log, 
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content ul.bbp-reply-revision-log {
  display: none;
}

if you want to delete the old revisions use a plugin like WP-Sweep

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-sweep/

[MarionetteX]

I am running Bbpress 4.1.1. If you have the revision log turned on, every saved edit will be displayed under the post. I’m a frequent post editor, so I wind up with 10+ logs if I don’t remember to uncheck the box, and there’s no easy way to delete them.

I am looking for a way to make each topic and post only show the latest edit. There should only ever be one edit note per post. Is this possible, via plugin or code or some option I haven’t found yet?

[Robkk]

well step by step its pretty much this

copy page.php using FTP or your hosts file manager

rename to bbpress.php using FTP or your hosts file manager

remove unwanted code from bbpress.php using an editor like notepad++ through FTP or your hosts file manager.

TIPS:

make sure that the bbpress.php is in the root of your child theme.

remove unwanted code like comments code , something like this <?php comments_template(); ?>

[Robkk]

^^ that is if you want forums on pages.

@findmyrep

follow the getting started guides by following this link.

Codex

[Robkk]

use the bbPress shortcodes

https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] – Display a single forums topics. eg. [bbp-single-forum id=32]

this plugin will help you out find any posts ID

https://wordpress.org/plugins/reveal-ids-for-wp-admin-25/

go to forums>all forums and you should see the ids

i tryed to change the size of the sindbar login avatar img.

i put in the theme (hueman theme) funcion.php this:

add_filter('sidebar_login_widget_avatar_size','new_login_avatar_size');
function new_login_avatar_size(){
    return 80;
}

i also tryed this code:

add_filter('sidebar_login_widget_avatar_size', 80);

but it is still the size of 38 pix and not 80 pix ?

what did i do wrong ?

If your site is public, please put a url/link to an example page. What is to you an obvious written description is frequently not clear to us, and the ability to see is much better. We are also able to fix many display issues by loading your site and seeing what it is sending the browser in the background, so a link rather than a picture is really useful.

If you are setting up, please see the Getting Started section of the codex first.

Getting Started

Please see this page for any frequently asked questions we may already have an answer for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please also see these pages for help troubleshooting possible issues in bbPress. PLEASE tell us you have done the tests before when posting.

Troubleshooting

[Robin W]

ow !

Hopefully the company have restored the database to back beyond your attempts to optimise it?

If so it should have no errors. So if it has, they probably need to go back to an older version if they have one – many hosters don’t.

Is it just forums entries that are missing???

if so you could try

dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums

and when you do get it going again, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don’t do stuff to a live site again.

1. a few hours invested in a test site

https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/

and you would not have lost your live site, and

2. REGULARLY back your main site (the above tells you how) and you could have just restored that – hosting companies rarely keep much, and an issue found after a week can be fatal !

Do come back for further help if needed.

[RitaNow]

I was working on optimizing the site using a tutorial from http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/the-ultimate-quickstart-guide-to-speeding-up-your-wordpress-site–wp-23846

When I got to the part on using the plugin “WP-DBmanager”, I backed up the database. I then repaired it. When I did the optimize part, that’s when I got the 500 error. I called the hosting company and not sure what they did. Eventually, they did a database restore from a weekly file. The error logs from that restore showed lots of errors. When I finally got the site back, the final result was the topics were there with no forums.

[Robkk]

to create a forum go to forums>new forum in the wordpress backend

I don’t see how I customize it or set up topics or set up so only certain people can subscribe to it

for certain people to subscribe to it might be custom development post a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/

Is there a video I can watch on how to start?

there is guides in the bbPress codex , but no videos

Codex

you can search youtube for a tutorial, make sure its at least in the past 2 years, anything older than that might be for the old versions of standalone bbPress.

[mvaneijgen]

‘Normal’ users get the message “You cannot create new topics.” when you add echo do_shortcode ('[bbp-topic-form]');

This is a similar topic to this message created almost three years ago, has anyone a solution for the current (latest) version of bbpress and wordpress.

[wpgerd]

Hello,

@clarasebeste
Thanks for you answer, but as you can see on the screenshot, bbpress has already a breadcrumb.

@robin-w
Thanks for this interessting Plugin. I test it with my Test-WP and identify this code for placing the subscription-toggle in the right:

.subscription-toggle {
float:right;
}

Add this in my childtheme/css/bbpress.css and it works. Thanks.

Found also in the extras a nice looking loop-forums.php for displaying the complete forum 😉

Hi,

Im using a bespoke WordPress theme for my site which ive created myself.

Ive fully customized BBpress & put the theme inside my WP theme too.

So far so good, it looks great & works fine too. But one problem is that the Breadcrumbs at the top of my page throughout the website only display:

Home / Forum / HatWorks Forum

If i then go into the GENERAL DISCUSSION SUB FORUM / TOPIC I get the following:

Home / Forum / General Discussion

Instead i should be getting:

Home / Forum / HatWorks Forum / General Discussion

If i then go to click a topic in general discussion I get:

Home / Forum / Hello all forum members, what do you prefer?

instead of

Home / Forum / HatWorks Forum / General Discussion / Hello all forum members, what do you prefer?

The current code I have written in my functions.php for the breadcrumbs is:

<?php
function the_breadcrumb() {
    global $post;
    $post_type = $post->post_type;
    echo '<ul id="breadcrumbs">';
	if(get_post_type() == 'forum' OR get_post_type() == 'topic' OR get_post_type() == 'reply') {
		
	  echo '<li><a href="';
        echo get_option('home');
        echo '">';
        echo '<i class="ts-awesome-home" style="font-size:14px;letter-spacing: 2px;"></i> Home';
        echo '</a></li><li class="separator"> / </li>';
		echo '<a href="https://hub.driveworks.co.uk/forums/forum/">Forum</a>';
		echo ' &nbsp;/&nbsp; ';
		echo  the_title();

	}

    elseif (!is_home()) {
        echo '<li><a href="';
        echo get_option('home');
        echo '">';
        echo '<i class="ts-awesome-home" style="font-size:14px;letter-spacing: 2px;"></i> Home';
        echo '</a></li><li class="separator"> / </li>';
        if (is_category() || is_single()) {
            echo '<li>';
            the_category(' </li><li class="separator"> / </li><li> ');
            if (is_single()) {
                echo '</li><li class="separator"> / </li><li>';
                the_title();
                echo '</li>';
            }
        } 
		
		elseif (is_page()) {
            if($post->post_parent){
                $anc = get_post_ancestors( $post->ID );
                $title = get_the_title();
                foreach ( $anc as $ancestor ) {
                    $output = '<li><a href="'.get_permalink($ancestor).'" title="'.get_the_title($ancestor).'">'.get_the_title($ancestor).'</a></li> <li class="separator">/</li>'.$output;
                }
                echo $output;
                echo '<span title="'.$title.'"> '.$title.'</span>';
            } else {
                echo '<li><span> '.get_the_title().'</span></li>';
            }
        }
		
    }
   
}

?>

Any anyone help with the child navigation of this please?

Thank you

[Robkk]

i think this should do it

you would probably need to add more code around it.

<?php bbp_last_topic_reply_permalink ?>

[Robkk]

create a bbpress.php from your page.php file or single.php and remove any useless information like comments code.

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

reply back if you need more help or it doesnt work.

[wpgerd]

Hello,

I installed a new bbpress 2.5.5 and noticed, that there is no space between the breadcrumb and the subscription-toggle:

How can I add some space? With CSS or in the code? What’s the better way?
Thanks for help in advance!

Gerd

[wpgerd]

Hello Robkk,
thanks for your reply. At first I thought it was WP Better Emails or MailPoet Newsletter. I deaktivate this plugins, but the same.
Now I used a fresh Testinstallation of WP, installed bbpress and the same. If someone subscribe to forum, I got a Mail delivery failed notice.

I try a little search and found in this file \wp-contetnt\plugins\bbpress\includes\common\functions.php this code:

// Strip tags from text and setup mail data
$topic_title = strip_tags( bbp_get_topic_title( $topic_id ) );
$reply_content = strip_tags( bbp_get_reply_content( $reply_id ) );
$reply_url = bbp_get_reply_url( $reply_id );
$blog_name = wp_specialchars_decode( get_option( ‘blogname’ ), ENT_QUOTES );
$do_not_reply = ‘<noreply@’ . ltrim( get_home_url(), ‘^(http|https)://’ ) . ‘>’;

// For plugins to filter messages per reply/topic/user
$message = sprintf( __( ‘%1$s wrote:

// Strip tags from text and setup mail data
$topic_title = strip_tags( bbp_get_topic_title( $topic_id ) );
$topic_content = strip_tags( bbp_get_topic_content( $topic_id ) );
$topic_url = get_permalink( $topic_id );
$blog_name = wp_specialchars_decode( get_option( ‘blogname’ ), ENT_QUOTES );
$do_not_reply = ‘<noreply@’ . ltrim( get_home_url(), ‘^(http|https)://’ ) . ‘>’;

// For plugins to filter messages per reply/topic/user
$message = sprintf( __( ‘%1$s wrote:

So I think, the email will be generatet of bbpress. How can I prevent this Mail delivery failed notice?

Gerd

[crazedsanity]

It looks like the code, by default, sends the message to “noreply@” followed by the domain, with all the intended recipients in the BCC field. I end up getting 3-6 bounces per message due to the “delayed” notifications. It thought it would go away after someone (else) had subscribed to the topic, but that is simply not the case.

The code needs to be only slightly more sophisticated:
1.) it should NOT send an email if there are no recipients (because… logic)
2.) the “from” address should be “noreply@<domain>” or otherwise configurable

I’ll see if I can work up a patch if I’ve got sufficient free time (unlikely, but I’ll try). Anybody know the who/how/where of it?

[wpgerd]

Hello,
here you find informations about the two versions of language files: https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/german-deutsch-de/
You don’t need a plugin.

I used the DU-version of David Decker. But I think both versions work well. If you want to change something use poedit.

Gerd

[nolimit966]

Hi,

I have bbp_get_user_post_count($user_id) being echoed in my loop-single-reply.php and its not showing the total posts number at all. Is this the correcnt way to do it?

<?php echo 'Topics: '. bbp_get_user_post_count($user_id);?>

Thanks

[Robin W]

Most of the filters are held in the templates that are located as follows :

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/template.php
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/topics/template.php
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/template.php
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/users/template.php
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/search/template.php

There are two typically filters, one on the final function usually within the ‘return’, and one that mimics wordpress’s ‘before’ filters
from the docs

Near the beginning of many functions we find :

// Parse arguments against default values
    $r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
        'before'            => '<ul class=&quot;bbp-forums-list&quot;>',
        'after'             => '',
        'link_before'       => '<li class=&quot;bbp-forum&quot;>',
        'link_after'        => '',
        'count_before'      => ' (',
        'count_after'       => ')',
        'count_sep'         => ', ',
        'separator'         => ', ',
        'forum_id'          => '',
        'show_topic_count'  => true,
        'show_reply_count'  => true,
    ), 'list_forums' );
 

This is a common format throughout bbPress, and indeed is similar to a function used throughout wordpress.

It uses a function called bbp_parse_args to create a filter against all the arguments.

The filter created is in the format bbp_before_ followed by X followed by _parse_args The X is the third argument from the bbp_parse_args function – if you look at the code above you’ll see that it is actually
bbp_parse_args ($args, Array(...), 'list_forums' )

so in the last line we see list forums which is the X above . In practice this is the function without the bbp start bit.

so an array filter for bbp_list_forums is bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args
and for say bbp_get_topic_pagination would be
bbp_before_get_topic_pagination_parse_args

[Robkk]

try using this plugin, use the logout link from this plugin and use a custom login link for the bbPress login shortcode if you want.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/baw-login-logout-menu/

[Robkk]

create a bbpress.php file and put it in your child theme , the default file bbPress is using has some extra code for post navigation that should be for blog posts.

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

you can also use CSS

#bbpress-forums .navigation-post  {
display:none;
}

[Robkk]

this is a pretty common request here

there might be issues where you cant add the permissions to work on only the participants created topics only though.

i suggest searching the forums try finding topics only in the past 1-2 years past that will probably be unusable code.

other than that go to http://jobs.wordpress.net/

[Robkk]

@peter-hamilton

I think there is a need for a small tutorial on editors, root folders and ftp access for starters, I remember being very intimidated by my root folders at first.

there are so many editors that you can use , basic editing are very close to normal text editors so it shouldnt be a problem.

Root folders WordPress explains here …kind of. going behidn that should be host files that you should never touch unless you are very advanced, and know what you are doing.

codex.wordpress.org/Determining_Plugin_and_Content_Directories

Explaining FTP , idk there are usually tutorials on using FTP on the host providers website, and also searching in google how to set it up and learning is not that hard to do.
