for now the forums are on a page that’s not full width, and they share the space with a sidebar. Until I redevelop the site with new theme, and format, I would like the images to open their full size when clicked. Is this possible with a setting or some code?

when I setup custom Profile Fields

ok, sorry to keep asking questions, but it will hopefully get me to the stage when I can give an answer 🙂

so this is bbpress profile – yes?

and how are you setting up custom profile fields? – code, plugin, template change etc.?

[sruddy]

So I guess I’m not understanding how this all works. The website is a photography club and is wordpress.org. I just added this bbPress forum plugin and have all the forums set up. I’m ready to test with two other people. I now need to have a place were the two others can register, I then want an email so I can review and approve them. How do i accomplish this? After that I think the login page with the shortcode provided by Robin W should work.

[sruddy]

I tried the shortcode on a new page named login. Looks the same as the login page I use to administer the site. So I guess I need a forum registration page first, then during registration I think I can make it so forum members can only see the website and forums??

[Robin W]

I wish I could claim some credit – it was some code I found somewhere !

From looking at the code, I’m presuming that bp has that functionality somewhere else – this just seems to add it for topics/replies.

[ankskv1]

I am getting blank pages while opening topics and I am using TwentyTwentyTwo theme.
I have used forum index short-code to show the forum on the page.

And the forum index page is showing index at very small size can I increase that without changing theme? (Any suggestions on this)

[Robin W]

site login is fine.

I tend to create a page – say aclled ‘login’ with this as the shortcode

[bbp-login]

and then have that page’s url as the one I send to users

[carasse64]

Thank you @mike80222. I have read an old topic on this forum where someone had created with feature with lines of code. I have to find it again 🙂

[Robin W]

sorry, test was invalid – I had my test user with too many privileges!

So, users who can ‘Throttle’ (see https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/before-installing/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/ for list) bypass the duplicate check – so likely that if you were testing you will have that capability.

Can you comer back if you still have an issue.

[Robin W]

untested, but this should work

add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_post_date', 'rew_date_only' , 20, 6) ;

function rew_date_only ($result, $topic_id, $humanize, $gmt, $date, $time ){
		$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $topic_id );

		// 4 days, 4 hours ago
		if ( ! empty( $humanize ) ) {
			$gmt_s  = ! empty( $gmt ) ? 'G' : 'U';
			$date   = get_post_time( $gmt_s, $gmt, $topic_id );
			$time   = false; // For filter below
			$result = bbp_get_time_since( $date );

		// August 4, 2012 at 2:37 pm
		} else {
			$date   = get_post_time( get_option( 'date_format' ), $gmt, $topic_id, true );
			$result = $date;
		}

		// Filter & return
		return apply_filters( 'rew_date_only', $result, $topic_id, $humanize, $gmt, $date, $time );
	}
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Hi Robin

I have your function that you gave me above :

// FORUM ADD DATE OF TOPIC CREATION
add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_started_by' , 'rew_add_date' ); 

function rew_add_date () {
	echo ' on ' ;
	bbp_topic_post_date() ;
}

I would like to show only the date and remove the time ie :

August 4 2012 instead of August 4 2012 at 2:37 pm

how can i get that ?

thanks !

[Robin W]

I don’t know why somehow I became a very greedy person here?

I look forward to having complete answers.

This makes you look like you are demanding, I am simply someone who triers to help here

But if you are asking, then use the ‘code’ button in the reply to post the exact code you are using, and I will try and help further

[leehaeun29]

??

I said the code you provided doesn’t turn out as a hyperlink – I didn’t ask what a href Attribute is?

Also, what about my other questions about the font size and adding forums anonymously?

I look forward to having complete answers.

Thank you.

[leehaeun29]

Hello Robin,

Thank you so much for your assistance. I was able to change the wording through the Code Snippets plugin. Now maybe it has to do with the plugin but when I copied the code you provided, it doesn’t show the hyperlink but plan texts (I used [] instead of <> so it delivers my questions) :

“XX forum is visible only to XX group members and YY Forum is visible only to YY group members. Please click [a href=”link”]here[/a] and sign up for the XX or YY group”

Is there any way I can make it hyperlink? Also, I would appreciate it if you could tell me how to enlarge the font size.

Additionally, I would like to know how can I create an anonymous topic? Now it shows my ID but I would like to make it anonymous for privacy issues.

I really appreciate your assistance. Thank you!

Hi Robin,

Sorry for slow reply, just picking this up again.

So, I see what you are saying but it is this page where I need to inject the content:-

I think what you are saying is, it will add a description into the individual forums.

So, I tried your suggestion and set up a custom page, with the shortcode in WordPress default editor as it wouldn’t work with Divi! Added the text above, does the trick.

Thanks for your help,

Hi Robin

How can i show unread messages with your plugin ?

i suppose it is with shortcodes, but i didnt find a shortcode to show unread messages

i want to show unread messages on a dedicated page, so i would need a shortcode

thanks 🙂

[Robin W]

This function should do that – change “mysite.com/login” to where you want it to go

function rew_change_text( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
	if ( $text == 'You do not have permission to view this forum.' ) {
	$translated_text = 'This forum is visible only to this group members, please click <a href="mysite.com/login">here</a> and sign up for this group';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}

add_filter( 'gettext', 'rew_change_text', 20, 3 );

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

I have the same issue which I have been trying to find a solution for days now.

Like angelfire4xx I just want to create roles for Gold, Silver and Bronze members.

Like others I have scanned lots of posts and documentation and tried various suggestions.

I have in my child functions the following which I did manage to actually create roles, but they did not work using the following code

function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {

$bbp_roles[‘BRONZE Member’] = array(
‘name’ => ‘BRONZE Member’,
‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ));

$bbp_roles[‘SILVER Member’] = array(
‘name’ => ‘SILVER Member’,
‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ));

$bbp_roles[‘GOLD Member’] = array(
‘name’ => ‘GOLD Member’,
‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ));

return $bbp_roles;
}

add_filter( ‘bbp_get_dynamic_roles’, ‘add_custom_role’, 1 );

When I installed the “Members” plugin it told me the following

Warning: Undefined array key “bronze_member” in /homepages/17/d531871193/htdocs/clickandbuilds/BeoworldForum/wp-content/plugins/members/inc/functions-roles.php on line 257

for each of the created custom roles, hence why it does not work.

Can anyone suggest a way forward other than what is already been posted.

[ollietubb1]

Thanks Robin,

I thought that for some reason I was unable to use shortcodes in my particular situation but the project has been a long build and I have forgotten why! Will have a fresh look.

Thank you,
Ollie

[Robin W]

if you create a wordpress page with the same slug as your forum – typically ‘forums’, and put the shortcode

[bbp-forum-index]

this should then look like the existing forum.

If so, then before the shortcode add a block in which you can put text or a link or whatever you want

[Brian Henry]

Best to create a staging site for your bbPress install and try to import your IPB. I remember a lot of trial and error to get as much as I did working, so you might need to write some code. But it _should_ work for forums and posts – at least, it did for the one migration I needed to do 3.5 years ago.

[Mike Witt]

I’m just looking for any ideas on how to debug this. I don’t see how it would be a bbPress problem, but on the BuddyPress forum they basically said “Ask bbPress and GeneratePress.” So I’m doing that.

WordPress 5.9.2, BuddyPress 10.1.0, bbPress 2.6.9
(I haven’t upgraded to BP 10.2.0 yet, but I don’t see any fixes that seems to apply to this.)
It happens “once in a while” since upgrading to BP 10.1.0. (Four times since March 9th.)
It *might* be related to email notifications (mentions?) in a bbPress closed topic.

I agree with you, but i tested bbpress with the top 20 wordpress themes, and confirmed that user profile and search pages were not detected by any theme

all other pages are detected except those 2

it’s like those 2 pages don’t belong to the same template than other bbpress pages in the core code

[Robin W]

that would tend to indicate an issue with bbpress and elementor working together, which I have already seen with their Hello theme.

bbpress works to WordPress standards, many theme builders exist because they see WordPress as a restriction and feel they can offer improvements, so stretch and alter what WordPress does, which can then can make plugins have issues.

Because it is open source, and there are no definitive rules, it is wrong to say that it is a bbpress problem, or indeed an elementor problem or a divi problem, each makes their own code to work, but you cannot guarantee interoperability of everything with everything.

Hi

Two solutions : you can either use this plugin :

or an easier solution, add this css, it will hide the possibility to change nickname (it will be only possible to change if from admin dashboard)

i think this is a good choice, as you dont want your members to constantly change their nicknames

label[for=nickname] {
    display: none!important;
}
input#nickname {
    display: none!important;
}
label[for=display_name] {
    display: none!important;
}
select#display_name {
    display: none!important;
}
