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 🙂

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

or use

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.

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

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

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.

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;
}

[DeepBlue]

Addon : to hide search form from user profile tabs too (recent topics and recent replies tabs) :

/*Hide search form on all tabs topics and replies*/
#bbp-user-body .bbp-search-form {
    display: none;
}

[DeepBlue]

Sure 🙂

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-search-form {
	display: none!important;
}

[Robin W]

it is theme related, but add this to the custom css part of your theme

#bbpress-forums {
	padding: 15px !important;
}

I can’t help with the subscribe, as that only shows to logged in users.

[Robin W]

quoting the actual code you used would be useful 🙂

Hi

I use [bbp-forum-index] on a page but it show a search box on top right, how to get rid of it ?

Thanks !

[DeepBlue]

Hi

Im working on this on file loop-single-topic.php

How can i show only user avatar ?

as in the code above this line show avatar AND user name :
<span class=”bbp-topic-freshness-author-av”><?php bbp_author_link( array( ‘post_id’ => bbp_get_topic_last_active_id(), ‘size’ => 48 , ‘type’ => ‘avatar’ ) ); ?></span>

How can i show only avatar on left side and on right side date of last post AND last poster name

like this bbpress site for instance:

https://olympus.crumina.net/groups/hiking-route/forum/

Thanks

[Robin W]

That is how it is supposed to be.

The dashboard is for administration, generally sites hide the dashboard from ordinary users either by using code or a plugin such as

Hide Admin Bar Based on User Roles

I am using bbpress notify (no spam). I just dropped the no spam part in the post.

I am ok with the Bcc. Just need to figure out how to ensure bbpress notify (no spam) does not interfere with the notifications from subscriptions.

The alternative would be default all users to be subscribers to all forums. Is there a plugin for that? Or else may need some code or direct database changes to implement that.

[Robin W]

I had NOT set bbpress notify to override bbpress subscriptions, so not sure why it was still disabling those notifications.

I suspect that plugin assumes you want to override the subscriptions – but no idea.

However, the email seem to have been addressed to noreply@domain, with the user email Bcc’ed

Yes this is how bbpress now does this. The idea is that many mailservers chop lots of emails being sent at once, so this avoids that pitfall in theory. The fact that the noreply goes nowhere is not an issue as such, and you’ll find that many sites use this method.

You can use this to amend that, though old this plugin still works

AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions

and if you want to amend the sending email use

bbp style pack

and dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails

Finally you might want to try

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify-nospam/ as a better version of the notify plugin

Hi

Subforums appear like this by default :

Parent Forum
Subforum

Subforum

Subforum

When looking at the source code, there are 2 <br> between each subforum, which explains the line break : <br><br>

i would like to remove those line breaks to have this :

Parent Forum
Subforum, Subforum, Subforum

which is the way main Forum CMS show subforums

Do i need to edit a file ? or any easier way with bbp style pack plugin ?

Thank you 🙂

[DeepBlue]

Ok actually i found the solution, for those who are looking for this :

create a /css/ folder in your child theme with a tinymce-custom-editor.css with :

body#tinymce.wp-editor {
    font-family: Sans-serif,Arial!important;
}

then add in your functions.php :

// EDITOR TINYMCE CHANGE POLICE
add_filter( 'mce_css', 'add_custom_editor_style' );
function add_custom_editor_style() {
    return get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/css/tinymce-custom-editor.css';
}

[Robin W]

sorry, I thought I had answered that above, you play with these settings

.mce-content-body p {
	font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", "Bitstream Charter", Times, serif;
	font-size: 16px;
	color: #333;
	overflow-wrap: break-word;
	word-wrap: break-word;
}

Is this plugin not compatible with Enfold?

or you could ask

is enfold not compatible with this plugin?

check out

https://kriesi.at/support/topic/getting-bbpress-to-work-with-the-enfold-theme/

and perhaps raise with enfold as this is a paid theme

[Robin W]

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
