function remove_counts() {
$args['show_topic_count'] = false;
$args['show_reply_count'] = false;
$args['count_sep'] = '';
 return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args', 'remove_counts' );

I’ve been pasting that since the beginning. It’s at the bottom of my child theme’s function.php.

[kendorama]

I have tried the new code. What I’m saying is that even though the pastes in here look wrong, it’s not. It’s because i’m not using “code” in here that it formats it.

I’ve copy pasted the code you provided, which was what I was using before (I just pasted it without “code”) here.

I’ve literally spent hours trying to fix this solution.

[Robin W]

Yes. But that code is exactly the code I already had in my functions.php.

if so you haven’t tried the new code ! re-read the documentation

[kendorama]

Yes. But that code is exactly the code I already had in my functions.php.

For some reason when I paste in this thread it changes certain things like ” to “.

[Robin W]

Try

Codex

[Robin W]

Presume you have tried the new code?

[Robin W]

STOP !!!

Ok, the codex has a couple of errors as it had not been updated following the release of 2.5.4 and also had some text that had been badly edited.

You have two choices – you cannot do both

either

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 3

which I have just updated with new code, or put this in your functions file

function remove_counts() {
$args['show_topic_count'] = false;
$args['show_reply_count'] = false;
$args['count_sep'] = '';
 return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args', 'remove_counts' );

Both work

I am trying to set up a discussion forum on a website I manage using the step by step guide provided by bbpress.

I got through the steps of creating a forum and topic. However when I click on the forum a message displays that 1 topic is present in the forum. Then another message says “Oh bother! Nothing was found here!”

I have uninstalled the bbpress and re-installed it but I’m still running into the same problem.

Here’s a link to the forum page. It can also be accessed from the website’s main menu as follows: SURVEY >> PTRC Forums

My WordPress version is: 4.0
bbPress version: 2.54

Thanks in advance

[kendorama]

I read this: https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-3/

and placed the same code into the loop-single-forum.php but it has an error.

[kendorama]

Btw I’m not sure why the paste shows the improper type, in the actual code I paste into the function.php it looks like the correction you gave me.

[Robin W]

bbPress forums can be private, public or hidden.

private are only viewable if logged in, hidden are only viewable by mods and above.

However my private groups plugin will give you all the control you need

re importing

[shelleyheath]

Hi There,

I have a website which restricts content via the Groups plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/groups/)

On one of the restricted pages I am using the following code to insert a forum: [bbp-single-forum id=12492]

However when working in the frontend and adding a topic, sometimes it renames the actual page… The forum ending to the url just tacks itself to the page on which [bbp-single-forum id=12492] is featured.

Forum page:

PCLC 1: A TIME FOR INTRODUCTIONS!

Original url:

http://lifepurposecoachingcenters.com/classrooms/pclc-1/

Reset url after it goes wrong:

http://lifepurposecoachingcenters.com/classrooms/pclc-1-a-time-for-introductions/

Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Thanks very much!

[cubeacid]

Ok, thanks for clarifying things, but I’m not familiar with modifying php-code, so I still would need help in this problem :/

[Robin W]

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.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/form-topic.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

I was only suggesting you start with looking at lines 42, I haven’t actually looked seriously at the code, I don’t have time at the moment 🙂

[Robin W]

ok, the last line has a wrong “‘” type

replace this with

add_filter('bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args', 'remove_counts' );

and it should be fine

[Robin W]

This worked well for adding the username, so if i can just remove the full name/image, that out to do it.

If you mean the two bits above what you have just added , then the simplest would be

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-reply.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-reply.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Then simply delete line 45

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

[david_ma]

How about remove the authors real name and email linked avatar? My users want to use their username only, and a custom avatar.

This worked well for adding the username, so if i can just remove the full name/image, that out to do it.

/**
* Add @mentionname after bbpress forum author details
*/

add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'mentionname_to_bbpress' );
function mentionname_to_bbpress () {
$user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo "@".$user_nicename;
}
}

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[kendorama]

Nope. I copied all that into my functions and it didn’t work. I’ve googled other solutions which are along the same lines but different code that’s used. I figured it was cause that was outdated and bbPress version is different.

No other solution?

[chero123]

solved, they can close the topic …

with shortcode

[lkharrell]

nevermind! I just figured it out!

It was

#bbpress-forums a.bbp-author-name {
   white-space: nowrap;
   background: none;
   border: none;
}

[lkharrell]

Hey guys,

Thanks for getting back to me.
Jessy, the code you provided did not accomplish it… here is the link to the page if y’all want to check out the source code.

[Robin W]

not sure why

I’ve read https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/ among other tips.

isn’t working for you?

[kendorama]

I’ve googled and searched the support forums and it seems the answers are outdated and don’t currently work on this version of bbPress.

I’ve read https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/ among other tips.

Any help?

[jessy]

@cubeacid: You want this: Do not allow users to publish new topics, just replies on your topics. Correct?

1, Install plugin: WPFront User Role Editor
2, Go to Roles => All roles => and choose Participant, it has 8 capabilities
3, You need uncheck publish_topics and edit_topics and assign_topic_tags and delete_topic_tags
4, with this plugin you can do it because it is built in role from plugin bbPress
5, But, we can customize it with filter function pasted below
6, Jast paste it into function.php and refresh the page in admin plugin WPFront User Role Editor in Participate role how magicaly capabilities are removed 🙂
7, If the participant or regular registered user will go on topics, they will be message “You cannot create new topics.” and if user click on your own created topic, he can reply 🙂

Paste it into functions.php

function my_custom_get_caps_for_role_filter($caps, $role)
{
    /* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
    if ($role == 'bbp_participant' )
        $caps = my_custom_get_caps_for_role($role);

    return $caps;
}
add_filter('bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'my_custom_get_caps_for_role_filter', 10, 2);

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

I have try that ad for me it works.
