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

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.

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

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!

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

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?

@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,

                '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.

[jessy]

Rewrite your theme styles with this, paste this on very bottom on style.css or into <head> tag section and wrap t with <style text/css></style>:

#bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta span {
   white-space: nowrap;
   background: none;
   border: none;
}

[jessy]

Do you really need this shortcode? I am sorry about this, but for many reasons it is enough to use just video from youtube, because, if you will use the video than you will need CDN also. And this shortcode in my opition do not have nice css stylesheet.

[jessy]

Install plugin bbPress2 shortcode whitelist.

just write string: video into that small text area

[jessy]

Install plugin bbPress2 shortcode whitelist

And to settings write video

[jessy]

Into your function.php paste this code, you will allow to Custom Post Type forum – bbPress have featured images in admin.

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array( 'forum' ) );
add_post_type_support('forum', 'thumbnail');

[mannmithund]

Thank you.

The theme supports videos, i.e. no issues to add them to regular blog posts.

Added the code, this results in Fatal error: Call to undefined function video().

1, Go to Appearance => Editor => Style.css edit this file section Reset from mayer, and find there “font-size: 100%; font: inherit;” change it into font-size: 16px; remove font: inherit

Reset section would look like this:

/* ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *
 *  Reset - http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/ v2.0 | 20110126
 * ------------------------------------------------------------------------- */
html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, 
pre, a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code, del, dfn, em, img, ins, kbd, q, s, 
samp, small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var, b, u, i, center, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li, 
fieldset, form, label, legend, table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td, article, aside, 
canvas, details, embed, figure, figcaption, footer, header, hgroup, menu, nav, output, ruby, 
section, summary, time, mark, audio, video { margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; }
article, aside, details, figcaption, figure, footer, header, hgroup, menu, nav, section {	display: block; }
