I believe that wordpress support forums use bbpress, how can I add this “Add New” button to my bbpress forum

they do , the bbpress standalone version

suprisingly this button is not in here.

wordpress.org use a customized version of bbPress just like this site ooes

you can try something like this

<?php if ( bbp_is_single_topic() ) : ?>

<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>
<a class="bbp-new-reply-button" href="#new-post">New Reply</a><li>
<?php endif; ?>		
	
<?php endif; ?>

place the code in loop-replies.php above the <li class="bbp-header">

you can style the link like so with some CSS , place wherever you place custom CSS

.bbp-new-reply-button {
    background:black;
    color:#fff;
    text-transform:uppercase;
    text-decoration:none;
}

bbPress doesnt render shortcodes

you will need to use a plugin like this

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

Note: by default, only users with the ability to publish bbPress forums will have their short codes parsed. This can be changed by passing a different capability via the pw_bbp_parse_shortcodes_cap filter.

so by this note keymasters/moderators for sure can post shortcodes.

[Robkk]

this plugin does this type of thing but you have to manually configure that part

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-go-to-first-unread-post/changelog/

you would have to copy the bbPress Recent Topics widget edit it/rename it and change where it renders the topic title to gtf_topic_title()

[Robin W]

No that’s fine – do have a really large amount of topics/forums?

I’ll take another look at the code

[Robin W]

Hope you haven’t forgotten anything else !

ok edit

$last_active = strtotime( get_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_last_active_time', true ) );
			if ($last_active < strtotime( '-10 days') )
				bbp_close_topic( $topic_id );

to

$topic_date = strtotime( get_post( $topic_id, 'post_date', true ) );
$forum_id = bbp_get_topic_forum_id($topic_id);
if ($topic_date < strtotime( '-10 days') && $forum_id == 210 )
bbp_close_topic( $topic_id );

the $forum_id == 210 needs the forum id of the forum you want to restrict.

to find this, go into

Dashboard>forums>all Forums and hover of edit of the forum you want – eg hover over edit ‘announcements’ and look in the bottom right of the screen. you’ll see the edit url that will include post=210 or whatever number.

You’ll need to test that all the above works, and come back if you need further help

I have another question. I’m trying to add the log in and log out code into functions but I get the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘Logout’ (T_STRING) in /home/carfan6/public_html/wp-content/themes/sparkle-child/functions.php on line 33

[Robin W]

no problem

Alter the lines

$last_active = strtotime( get_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_last_active_time', true ) );
if ($last_active < strtotime( '-10 days') )

to

$topic_date = strtotime( get_post( $topic_id, 'post_date', true ) );
if ($topic_date < strtotime( '-10 days') )

should do it

[Robin W]

ok, I’ve added it to my shortcode plugin

bbp additional shortcodes

you will want :

[display-forum-index forum= ‘2932, 2921′ breadcrumb=’no’ search=’no’]

You can see how to set this in

Dashboard>settings>shortcodes

[pazzaglia]

I just installed this bit of code and it works GREAT!!

Now I know when I find random code around it’s expected to be added to functions.php as well.

THANK YOU SO MUCH & HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Ciao,

L

P.S. I love that the forums show-up as well. Except now I’ll have to change the name to “xyz Forum” so it’s clear what it is in the search results.

[supremor]

Does anyone have the exact like of code?

[jsantana]

Hi there, thanks for the code, I haven’t tested it but the installation went smoothly and now I have it active in the plugins section.

But this isn’t what I’m looking for specifically. What I would like is to have it close after X amount of days even if it has been updated. This code just do it but after it hasn’t been any replies, right?

Thanks for taking time in answering, really appreciate it.

[coffeefcy]

In bbpress, Video player not showing.
I tried both Jwplayer & flowplayer and wordpress core player.
But none of this show the player, just the code.
but in other page, it works well.
Would you help me?

http://www.fcy.me/forums/topic/20-acoustic-rock-lick-01/

[Robin W]

hmmm….hadn’t fully reads your original post

ideally I’d like to get search results with pagination

That’s what you should have ! Results should show the ‘replies per page’ setting together with full pagination.

Are you sure there are more than 20 results to show?

I suspect that something else is disturbing this

If you haven’t amended bbpress code or added filters then :

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Come back when you have done that

[Robin W]

no problem

copy this code into a new notepad/notepad++ page

add_action('bbpress_daily_event', 'bbpress_close_old_topics');

function bbpress_topic_scheduler() {
 wp_schedule_event(time(), 'daily', 'bbpress_daily_event');
}

function bbpress_close_old_topics() {
	// Auto close old topics

			if ($last_active < strtotime( '-10 days') )
				bbp_close_topic( $topic_id );
		}
}
?>

Change the -10 days right near the bottom to whatever number you want

Save this file as ‘close_old_topics.php’

Compress/zip this file, so you have a zipped version.

then in worpress go to

Dashboard>plugins>add new and click ‘upload’ and then upload the zipped file you saved above, and then activate.

Come back if you have any issues, the code is not mine and I have not tested it, but others have used.

[Robkk]

do this instead since you want it for all of the bbPress login forms.

.bbp-login-form {
	max-width: 270px;
}

and you could put the CSS in many places

a custom css plugin
jetpacks css module
your child themes stylesheet
the bbpress.css stylesheet that should be copied to your child theme in a bbpress folder

[supremor]

Where do I place the code?

[Robkk]

you can see it comes back to normal on very small sizes close to 200 maybe settings a max width for the login form would do the job.

try something close to this , edit if you want.

.widget.bbp_widget_login .bbp-login-form {
	max-width: 270px;
}

[discdemo]

hmm, bummer. Thank you though for the code, Doug.
Perhaps it will come in handy if I don’t just use the wall.
I might need it.

Thank you, again.

[Robkk]

if you have WordPress all set up and also downloaded and activated bbPress.

then follow this article and see if it helps.

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

if you want more explained articles on how to set up your forums

there is a step by step 5 part guide on how to setup bbPress

in codex.bbpress.org/

still have issues then please reply back

[Doug Smith]

You can add this code to your theme’s functions.php file to enable the editor.

function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

The visual editor is almost essential for the non-technical audience I have on my forum. Unfortunately, it’s not perfect. For example, if someone copies and pastes a previous post to quote it they’ll end up with a bunch of html visible in their post.

Spending whole day to figure out the solution of this issue, congrats to @korobochkin for solving this problem.

Since I’s with WordPress 4.1 and seems it’s have mature multiple sites support, when greping keywords , only these popup, none in the wp-signup.php files.

grep wp_signup_location * -r
wp-admin/includes/ms.php:				$sign_up_url = apply_filters( 'wp_signup_location', network_site_url( 'wp-signup.php' ) );
wp-includes/canonical.php:				$redirect_url = apply_filters( 'wp_signup_location', network_site_url( 'wp-signup.php' ) );
wp-login.php:		wp_redirect( apply_filters( 'wp_signup_location', network_site_url( 'wp-signup.php' ) ) );

Can you put your code for wp-signup.php page-activate.php at https://gist.github.com/ and give a link here?

[jeffacubed]

@korobochkin – you’re 100% correct, in that there should be no difference between sub-domain & sub-folder setups for making this work as you described.

If you could share/paste the actual code for the req’d changed files – that would be wonderful!

If for whatever reason the actual code can’t be pasted here on the forums, you can always email the files (if you like) to me ( cubedit {at} jeffacubed {dot} com )

спасибо

[Nicolas Korobochkin]

I don’t have experience with subfolder installs but I think there is no difference between subdomain and subfolder installs for this case. I can publish my code but its looks like default wp-signup.php and wp-activate.php with small changes like few <div>, additional CSS classes and commented few lines of code.

At first glance this two files looks messy and hardcoded but you can Folding all functions and comments in code editor.

[jsantana]

erm, yes, pretty much everything web relate, but not the language itself ‘PHP’. Also not an expert with wordpress. Just asking to get step by step as I’ve seen answers here with just code, without explaining where to insert it.

[cooshtee]

I am encountering exactly the same issue as Divine_Alex

It’s working fine on my iMac but on my iPad I sporadically get the white screen saying blocked when you try and login or register via the shortcode pages.

My client gets the white screen on PC and Mac desktops sporadically too.

The inconsistency makes it very hard to debug.

I’ve tried turning off all plugins.

Does anyone have any ideas?
