Do you know what the code is that you would add at that location?

[Robin W]

ok, gentle response !!

your forum is sitting within a class of .entry-content which is set to max-width: 474px;

so you need to add

.entry-content {
  max-width: 100% !important;
}

to your theme style.css at the end

Strictly speaking you should add this to a child theme

Functions files and child themes – explained !

but if you add it to your main theme, juts keep a note of it, as you will need to re-add it should your theme be updated

Come back if anything not clear, and I’ll help further !

[Food Research Collaboration]

Hi there,

I’m looking for an option to hold new topics by non-admin users in moderation for approval before they are visible. I’ve tried looking at this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpressmoderation/ but it deals with topics and replies together- you have to moderate both or not moderate both. I’m not interested in moderating replies, just topic starters.
Could anybody by any chance suggest a different plugin, a code snippet to use etc. to work around this issue?
(I’m running the latest versions on WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress).
Thank you very much!

[mvaneijgen]

I had to create several new users but I could not just copied and paste the code again so I modified the code a bit

//code to add expert role 

function add_expert_role( $bbp_roles )
{
	/* Add a role called expert */
	$bbp_roles['bbp_expert'] = array(
		'name' => 'expert',
		'capabilities' => custom_capabilities_expert( 'bbp_expert' )
		);
	return $bbp_roles;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_expert_role', 1 );

function expert_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role )
{
	/* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
	if( $role == 'bbp_expert' )
		$caps = custom_capabilities_expert( $role );
 
	return $caps;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'expert_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );

function custom_capabilities_expert( $role )
{
	switch ( $role )
	{
		 
		/* Capabilities for 'expert' role */
		case 'bbp_expert':
			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'   => true,
				'read_hidden_forums'    => false,
 
				// Topic caps
				'publish_topics'        => true,
				'edit_topics'           => true,
				'edit_others_topics'    => false,
				'delete_topics'         => false,
				'delete_others_topics'  => false,
				'read_private_topics'   => true,
 
				// Reply caps
				'publish_replies'       => true,
				'edit_replies'          => true,
				'edit_others_replies'   => false,
				'delete_replies'        => false,
				'delete_others_replies' => false,
				'read_private_replies'  => true,
 
				// Topic tag caps
				'manage_topic_tags'     => false,
				'edit_topic_tags'       => false,
				'delete_topic_tags'     => false,
				'assign_topic_tags'     => true,
			);
			break;
 
		default :
			return $role;
	}
}

This creates the role Expert. I put this in my functions.php of my child-theme

I do it with this snippet. For WordPress and bbPress together. Local links are opened normally, only extern are target blank. Dont forget to change your domain line.

// Make URL Clickable In WordPress, bbPress (plus target=”_blank”)
add_filter( 'the_content', 'make_clickable');

function autoblank($text) {
$myurl = 'http://your-domain.com';
$external = str_replace('href=', 'target="_blank" href=', $text);
$external = str_replace('target="_blank" href="'.$myurl, 'href="'.$myurl, $external);
$external = str_replace('target="_blank" href="#', 'href="#', $external);
$external = str_replace('target = "_blank">', '>', $external);
return $external;
}
add_filter('the_content', 'autoblank');
add_filter('bbp_get_topic_content', 'autoblank',255);
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_content', 'autoblank',255);

Remove nofollow if you need to !

function mtn_weekly_fix_rel_follow( $content ) {
    // Find rel="nofollow", replace with empty space.
    $content = preg_replace( '/rel="nofollow"/', ' ', $content);
    return $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'mtn_weekly_fix_rel_follow', 20 );
add_filter('bbp_get_topic_content', 'mtn_weekly_fix_rel_follow',255);
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_content', 'mtn_weekly_fix_rel_follow',255);

[Robin W]

wherever it says (think it’s more than once)

'type' => 'both', 'size' => 14 ) );

change to

'type' => 'name', 'size' => 14 ) );

I am using a wordpress skin that integrates BBPress very nicely. One thing I am looking to do, however is make the bbpress forums have a hierarchy like any other software out there currently. I am not that amazing at coding and would appreciate if someone could explain in an easy to understand way. If it’s something that I would have to code completely over, i’d be willing to pay someone to help me code that.

Thank You

[Robin W]

add the following to your functions file

add_filter('private_title_format', 'pg_remove_private_title');

function pg_remove_private_title($title) {
		return '%s';
	}

Functions files and child themes – explained !

[van24]

That worked perfectly! And the code you mentioned earlier in the thread is perfect. Thanks for your help 🙂

[Robin W]

You’ll need to register it for it to go live, try the following in your functions file

add_action( 'widgets_init', function(){
     register_widget( 'BBP_Topics_Widget2');
});

[Robin W]

I copied the entire Recent Topics widget code into my functions.php

You need to copy and rename it.

Then you use this new named widget, not the old one, so need to cal the new name in your sidebar.

[van24]

Hi Robin

I’m trying to get the same functionality that SeeingBlue is looking for. I copied the entire Recent Topics widget code into my functions.php, and I added your code in the correct place, but the widget is still behaving exactly the same.. Any idea what else I need to do?

Thanks
Van

[Robin W]

presume you have done all this

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

[Robkk]

it could be just making the font-size smaller.

copy this CSS anywhere you can put custom CSS

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-author a.bbp-author-name, 
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author a.bbp-author-name, 
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author a.bbp-author-name {
font-size:12px;
}

[Robkk]

@discdemo

remove Dougs code and see if just using this will fix it. it does the same thing.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

also see if deactivating wp-edit will fix the problem , i tried it awhile ago with the visual editor code and it was kind of buggy.

[Robkk]

if you haven’t already copy all of your bbPress templates to a folder called bbpress in your child theme

follow this codex guide.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

and also check if its a theme issue , switch to a default theme like twentytwelve and see if the issue is still there or not.

[discdemo]

@dougismith I’m getting this when I try your suggested code.
Any ideas, anyone? This was placed where the child theme for buddy press
states to, in the functions.php. (I’ using a theme called BuddyBoss, fyi)

Thanks, all.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘&’, expecting ‘]’ in /home/agonyofd/public_html/wp-content/themes/buddyboss-child/functions.php on line 60

Ah ha! I see what you mean (maybe). So something in content-single-forum.php like this?

<?php 
   if(  bbp_is_forum_group_forum( bbp_get_forum_id() )){
      bbp_get_template_part( 'form',       'topic'     );
   }else{
      echo '<a href="/">You could link to your form or whatever else here.</a>';  
   } 
?>

rather than what’s there now:
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>

Then you could use the shortcode [bbp-topic-form] on a new page and link to that page.

[Touda]

I made another test trying to create a new topic (thread) from the form under the listing given by [bbp-singl-forum id=6] and it give me back the following error:

ERROR: No tienes permisos para crear nuevos hilos.

Which is Spanish for You do not have permission to create new topics.

[Touda]

After having installed, configured and started some forums and subforums with the initial threads (topics), suddenly I found some issues, maybe related with some new plugins I’ve been installing on the same site:
– Forums URLs give 404 errors
– Topics URLs are found OK
– No reply is possible to those topics even when logged as Admin (Keymaster). BBPress shows this error:

ERROR: You do not have permission to reply.

ERROR: This forum is private and you do not have the capability to read or create new replies in it.

When testing shortcodes on a test page it gives the following results:

[bbp-forum-index] -> No forum is listed

[bbp-single-forum id=6] -> Forum is shown with its topics

[bbp-topic-index] -> Topics are listed OK

Any idea?

Thanks in advance for any help.

[Nicolas Korobochkin]

Fix it. Just add global $active_signup; in selena_network_signup_main. Already update this file on gists.github.

[palmdoc]

This works for me :

1) Add this to function.php in your child theme

via http://bavotasan.com/2014/add-media-upload-button-to-bbpress/

Open up your functions.php file and add the following snippet to get it working:

add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bavotasan_bbpress_upload_media' );
/**
 * Allow upload media in bbPress
 *
 * This function is attached to the 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args' filter hook.
 */
function bavotasan_bbpress_upload_media( $args ) {
	$args['media_buttons'] = true;

	return $args;
}

So now you have the Add Media button in the posting

2) What you need now is to fine tune the user capabilities so that not only administrators but normal users can upload media direct to the form post using the Add Media button

I am using the Capability Manager Enhanced plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/capability-manager-enhanced

I guess you could use a Custom user type (e.g. clone the normal participants) to experiment. Later on you could edit all your users and convert them to this Custom user type

Check the ability to:

a) Upload files
b) Unfiltered HTML

for this Custom user type

I guess it comes with risks but it has the benefits of direct Media upload to the bbPress forum

It’s not only images but other media e.g. PDF (which works nicely with thhe Google Doc Embedder Plugin

[jamesdoesdesign]

I know this is a tad bit old however I happened to stumble on this post while I was looking for a way to increase both the page to 100 posts and the parent page to show all 100 posts as well. The solution above adding to the functions page did not work for me even upon changing it to the proper code.

I did however find the same solution as jameswordpress did but there are multiple lines.
to edit so that both the parent forum and the selected forum page to show more than 50 forums.

To do this edit template.php located in:
/bbpress/includes/forums/template.php

Change line 135:
'posts_per_page' => get_option( '_bbp_forums_per_page', 50 ),

to:
'posts_per_page' => get_option( '_bbp_forums_per_page', 100 ),

———-

Also changing line 708 should effect the parent page (at least it did for myself):
'posts_per_page' => get_option( '_bbp_forums_per_page', 50 ),

to:
'posts_per_page' => get_option( '_bbp_forums_per_page', 100 ),

You can change the value of 50 to whatever you desire.
