Hi,

I have a problem where pagination is not working in my theme.

I am doing template redirect in function.php to template file of forum, topic or reply if URL is like http://domain/forums/…
Right templates are loaded and right content is shown, but pagination is not working, first page is always shown/loaded.
Pagination appends …/page/{page}/ to URL when page is selected, but always first page of data loads.
I have tried to set page manually, among others, $bbpressInstance->forum_query->paged, but no luck.

My question is, how and where to set page that should be loaded, and how to track where is the problem. Because problem is in my theme, pagination works in WP default themes.
How to debug this?

I am on deadline, but stuck on this basic feature and should appreciate some pointers how to debug this.

BBPress forum is included in my template file through shortcode
echo do_shortcode('[bbp-single-forum id='.$id.']');
Topics are included like
echo do_shortcode ( '[bbp-single-topic id=' . $id . ']' );
And Replays like
echo do_shortcode ( '[bbp-single-reply id=' . $id . ']' );

All vast majority of your sugestions are already included in bbPress 2.x

See this codex doc for an overview of bbPress’ roles and capabilities 🙂

@schrully BTW some hosting providers block connects to external SMTP servers (for example – BlueHost) and your Error Type: SMTP show that your server can’t connect to SMTP server.

Hi brainy people!

I’ve added the forums to my website, and have also added a plugin called Users Ultra. For the most part, the forums and Users Ultra share enough common ground that they do, to an extent, work together.

however one thing I’ve been having trouble with is that UU allows inter-user messaging, wheras I don;t think bbPress does. So for that reason I need to be able to add a Users-Ultra-generated Message User button on the bbPress Profile page.

(I hope I’m making sense here)

However, when I edit the file I believe should be controlling that page (\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\user-profile.php), no changes actually show up on the live site?

So, in short, how do I add some custom code to the bbPress User Profile page? Or does anyone know if a more elegant way to make this function work through bbPress?

@izzyian

you just do it like how i did it.

by editing the template loop-single-reply.php that was in my bbpress folder in my child theme

separate the role from the rest of the bbp_reply_author_link

like this

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => false ) ); ?>

<?php 
$displayed_user = bbp_get_reply_author_id() ;
$role = bbp_get_user_role( $displayed_user);
if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster($displayed_user)  || $role == 'bbp_moderator'  ) {
	
	echo bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) );
	
         }
?>

[Robkk]

in this code you pasted it looks like the exact code to display the avatars is already there.

maybe you didnt install the template files right??

wherever you see something like this below , this is what should be displaying the avatar

‘size’ => 14

this is complete started by section showing the started by author avatar

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_before_topic_started_by’ ); ?>

<?php
if (class_exists(‘userpro_api’)) {
/* Integrating UserPro */
global $userpro;
$link = preg_replace(“/(?<=href=(\”|’))[^\”‘]+(?=(\”|’))/”, $userpro->permalink( bbp_get_topic_author_id() ),
bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( ‘size’ => 14 ) ) );
} else {
$link = bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( ‘size’ => ’14’ ) );
}
?>

<span class=”bbp-topic-started-by”><?php printf( __( ‘Started by: %1$s’, ‘bbpress’ ), $link ); ?></span>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_after_topic_started_by’ ); ?>

this is the complete freshness section showing the author avatar

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_before_topic_freshness_author’ ); ?>
<?php
if (class_exists(‘userpro_api’)) {
global $userpro;
$link = preg_replace(“/(?<=href=(\”|’))[^\”‘]+(?=(\”|’))/”, $userpro->permalink( bbp_get_topic_author_id( bbp_get_topic_last_active_id() ) ), bbp_get_author_link( array( ‘post_id’ => bbp_get_topic_last_active_id(), ‘size’ => 30 ) ) );
} else {
$link = bbp_get_author_link( array( ‘post_id’ => bbp_get_topic_last_active_id(), ‘size’ => 14 ) );
}
?>

<span class=”bbp-topic-freshness-author”><?php echo $link; ?></span>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_after_topic_freshness_author’ ); ?>

Hello Everybody.

I hope you understand my “german Englisch”.

I tried many many membership and capability plugins to empower bbpress. But with no success.
This is because bbpress has capabilities, but don´t used them the right way.

I am not a developer, so I don´t know, if everything I suggest is possible or not. But I know, for some of these features, that it worked for former versions of bbpress with plugins that are outdated for years.

What bbpress really needs are capabilities in this way (marking new capabilites with (*)):
When talking about forums, I mean forums and categories.

Forums/Categories

can_see_forum
can_see_thread

Threads

can_create_topic_in_forum (*)
can_edit_owntopic_in_forum (*)
can_edit_anytopic_in_forum (*)
can_delete_owntopic_in_forum (*)
can_delete_anytopic_in_forum (*)

Replies

can_create_reply_in_forum (*)
can_edit_ownreply_in_forum (*)
can_edit_anyreply_in_forum (*)
can_delete_ownreply_in_forum (*)
can_delete_anyreply_in_forum (*)

Moderators/Admins

Capabilites to create, edit, delete, move or split forums, threads and replies.

With these capabilites, bbpres itself or every capability addon could add members or groups to forums and categories.

This would make bbpress more like full featured forum software (vbulletin, burning board, phpbb and other) than it ever was.

I asked a developer a long time ago, how long it would take to build an extension or add this to the bbpress core features.

He said something like: BBPress is well coded. I think, adding these capabilities and rules to forums, adding some metaboxes for assigning groups, members or capabilites to forums post types.. I think a good developer could do this in no time.

Well… he is specialized in another section of wordpress plugins and not interested in creating for bbpress. But I think, every wordpress user and forum lover would love these features.

And I think, this is also a great way to prevent spam in forums. on non-english websites, most spam plugins block users that are definetly no spammers, because they search for things, that are not present in non english languages.

Hoping for feedback and… hope this can be realized.

Plugins I tried:
– press permit
– advanced access manager
– advanced capabilites manager
– s3members
– members
– and many many more (used keyword in wp repo: bbpress, member, access, restrict, capability, capablites, read, write, permission and more)

Hope for positive feedback

I’ve found this on github and modified it a bit.

//Close forum topics inactive for more than 30 days

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
$topics_query = array(
'author' => 0,
'show_stickies' => false,
'parent_forum' => 'any',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => -1
);
if ( bbp_has_topics( $topics_query ) )
while( bbp_topics() ) {
bbp_the_topic();
$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id();
$last_active = strtotime( get_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_last_active_time', true ) );
if ($last_active < strtotime( '-30 days') )
bbp_close_topic( $topic_id );
}
}

I’m using it on the support forum of our Business directory plugin.

Hope you can find it useful too.

Thx

The template did change to the new php file, but removing the code did not remove the ad unfortunately. I tried removing other code but nothing seems to affect it.

edit: I’d love to just hide the ad with CSS, but the problem is that is against google policy.

[Robin W]

I suspect it is the loop-single-forum template

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

then

remove lines 20 and 24

line 20

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_subscription_action' ); ?>

line 24

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_subscription_action' ); ?>

come back if that doesn’t work

@robin-w

Hi, no this does not work :

function role_show ($args) {
$displayed_user = bbp_get_reply_author_id() ;
$role = bbp_get_user_role( $displayed_user);
if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster($displayed_user) ||$role == 'bbp_moderator')  $args['show_role'] = true ;
else $args['show_role'] = false ;
return $args ;
}
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_reply_author_link_parse_args', 'role_show' )

This is a screen shot of that result :

[Stephen Edgar]

Sounds great, have at it 🙂

Check out and edit the Google doc here.

General guidelines on creating new codex articles:

Codex Standards & Guidelines

Make a copy of this template for each page you create:
https://codex.bbpress.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=1767&action=edit

[sidelancer]

Yep, here it is:

I’ve looked at it with Firebug, it’s the same header ad that I have showing up on all my other pages (except there it is ABOVE the page, not within it). I also tried putting php code around the ad to stop it on specific page numbers, but that didn’t seem to work either.

[Robkk]

i think that these topics should be discussed in a guide for users in the codex.

How to Moderate in bbPress
How to Deal with SPAM
SEO and bbPress
Common Mistakes to Avoid

How to Moderate is for users who are brand new to dealing with a forum, and are not sure how to handle it.

Dealing with SPAM will definitely be useful because alot of users make topics about how to handle it.

SEO and bbPress , there is some topics about this subject and help optimizing it would be quite useful.

Common mistakes is useful too so that users know what not to do.

what do you guys think??

[Robkk]

@elenams

i thought i replied to this one..

pretty much the plugins stlye.css file will get you headed into styling bbPress the way you want it.

you copy the style.css file from the bbPress plugin folder and put it into a folder called css in your child theme then edit the new style.css file from there.

if its just small changes you can also put it into a custom css plugin of your choice.

more information on styling bbPress can be found in the codex

Codex

[Robkk]

this is not CSS its mostly PHP

from what it looks like just copy the templates the userpro plugin author gave you and place it a folder called bbpress in your child theme. the url to it should be wp-content/themes/avada-child/bbpress.

info on creating a child theme

https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

[Robkk]

well it looks nice how it is already but thats my opinion.

but if you really want the default bbPress look , i think all you have to do is copy loop-single-topic.php from the bbPress plugin templates and let it overwrite the exact file in your child themes bbpress folder.

i suggest you test it out and make sure it works well in a local development area on your CPU.

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

[Robkk]

huh?? i thought i replied already..

well its font-color: black;

and just using color:black; works too

any other CSS tips checkout the guides on styling bbPress in the docs

Been a while, spent quite a lot of time looking for a solution for the “name” issue.

Wordpress registration checks if a “username” is already used, this is great.

Buddypress is the problem cause they also add a “Name” field to registration, and this can be duplicate creating issues when multiple John Doe’s appear in my forums and activity.

Solution

I created a dirty solution by changing the label for (buddypress) Name to Username, and added a line of text urging new members to fill in the exact same name as the did in the “Username” field.

Although people can type whatever they want there, I hope most will just copy the first name.

This way the @name and username should be similar on all pages.

Then I also removed the option to change this name in the profile edit.php through CSS so no longer can people change their nicknames.
Unless a code savvy member goes to change the CSS in chrome, then the box will appear and they can change their names.

Wishlist

A solution/function where Buddypress or BBpress copies the username and adds that in the nickname field by default.

Anyway, here is a link to my current register page:

BBFacelook registration page

Here’s the code works for me:

<?php $curauth = (isset($_GET['author_name'])) ? get_user_by('slug', $author_name) : get_userdata(intval($author)); ?>
<!-- The Loop -->
    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
        <l i>
            <a hr ef="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>">
            <?php the_title(); ?></ a>,
            <?php the_time('d M Y'); ?> in <?php the_category('&');?>
        </l i>
    <?php endwhile; else: ?>
        < p><?php _e('No posts by this author.'); ?></ p>
    <?php endif; ?>
<!-- End Loop --> 

[Robkk]

add to the existing code you are using.

font-weight: bold;

[galiulinr]

I added the following code in your theme function:

function get_related_author_posts() {
    global $authordata, $post;
    $authors_posts = get_posts( array( 'author' => $authordata->ID, 'post__not_in' => array( $post->ID ), 'posts_per_page' => 5 ) );
    foreach ( $authors_posts as $authors_post ) {
        $output .= '<l i>< a>ID ) . '">' . apply_filters( 'the_title', $authors_post->post_title, $authors_post->ID ) . '</ a></l i>';
    }
    return $output;
}

On page user-profile.php, I put the following code:
<?php echo get_related_author_posts(); ?>

It shows 5 posts, but I want to show only the for profile author of this posts. Now it shows all the user profiles.Each author should have a list of posts in the profile. Tell me how to do it.
