I’m not quite clear on your code, so can’t help with the last piece.

As I mentioned, I did it differently and specific to the forum I was working on which has categories with forums but no sub-forums and one single forum without a category. I don’t think this will help you unless you decide to try something different but this is what I did – in loop-forums.php replace the while loop with :

<?php while ( bbp_forums() ) : bbp_the_forum(); ?>
   <?php if( !bbp_is_forum_category() ) {
     bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-forum' ); 
   } else {
     bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-categories' ); 
   } ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

and then I made a loop-single-categories.php https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/1958/loop-single-categories.php

What the image shows is already using Bob1nz’s provided code. Bob1nz’s seems to not correct the issue like Lynq’s does. I am aware that Lynq has made some code available on github but I don’t know what to modify to get those to go away. I have worked my way to getting everything else the way I want it, this is just the last piece.

Yep – use get_post_time() – https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_post_time

function mjj_post_reply_date(){
  printf('<div class="mjj-post-date">');
  $reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $reply_id );
  printf( get_post_time( get_option( 'date_format' ), false, $reply_id, true ) ); 
  printf('</div>');
}

add_action ('bbp_theme_before_reply_content', 'mjj_post_reply_date') ;

[Majijiboo]

Thanks. It works. Is there a way to only show the date and not the hour/minute? Maybe using code similar to the below could help?

function short_freshness_time( $output) {
$output = preg_replace( '/, .*[^ago]/', ' ', $output );
return $output;
}

[tharsheblows]

@Matoca it sounds like you’re still using tinyMCE? Do you have something like this in your functions file –

function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

(from https://codex.bbpress.org/enable-visual-editor/ )

I might be confused (if we had signatures and I used signatures on forums mine would be “I might be confused”) but I wouldn’t think you’d have a text / visual tab on the non-tinyMCE editor, would you?

If it were me, I’d also try disabling “Post Formatting” in Settings -> Forums in the admin area. I have no clue whatsoever if that would work though, it’s just something I’d try.

I’m really interested to see what works! My guess is that something will end up working but we’ll never quite know what did it.

[tharsheblows]

You can use bbp_reply_post_date for it – it will give you “August 4, 2012 at 2:37 pm”. I mean, it would give you that for posts on Aug 4, 2012 at 2.37pm and similar things for other dates.

But you want to style it a bit, so something like:

function mjj_post_reply_date(){
  printf('<div class="mjj-post-date">');
  bbp_reply_post_date(); 
  printf('</div>');
}

add_action ('bbp_theme_before_reply_content', 'mjj_post_reply_date') ;

[tharsheblows]

Oh good – I have this in a header – it’s about the same but $user_identity is the display name rather than the login. This explains the different global variables from get_currentuserinfo() – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_currentuserinfo . Just in case you want the full reference – I hadn’t really looked at it before and noticed we used different variables and wondered why and thought you might be interested too. 🙂

<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { ?>
  <span class="break-me">
  Welcome, 
  <?php 
	global $user_identity;
	get_currentuserinfo();
	printf('%s', $user_identity); ?>! 
  </span>
  <span class="break-me">
	<a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url( get_permalink() ); ?>" title="Logout">Log out?</a> &bull; <a href="<?php echo bbp_get_user_profile_url(get_current_user_id()); ?>" name="Your profile and posts">Your profile</a> 
  </span>
<?php } ?>

[Sascha.H]

Well this is now my solution. Seems ok

<?php
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
    wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'Register or Login' ) ); 
}  
else {
    global $current_user;
    get_currentuserinfo();
    $current_user->user_login;
				
    echo "Logged in as: ";?>                
    <a href="<?php echo get_edit_user_link(); ?>">
        <?php echo $current_user->user_login; ?>
    </a>				
<?php }	?>

After a long search I found a solution for my problem…

instead of:
$uri = bbp_get_reply_edit_url( $r['id'] );
set:
$uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].( '/../../../give-reaction/' . $r['id'] . '?edit=1' );
on line: 1923

[bustel]

And if i set it to:
$uri = ( '?edit=1' );
then I get the topic to change and not the reply….

[bustel]

It works for the topics but not for the replies, I don’t know why it doesn’t work…

I have tested with
1)
$uri = ( '/?edit=1' );
in the topic: http://www.mysite.com/?edit=1
it isn’t correct
it go to the home of the site, that’s it.

2)
$uri = bbp_get_reply_edit_url( $r['id'] ) . '?edit=1';
in the topic: http://www.mysite.com/map/map/1827/edit/?edit=1
and it isn’t correct eather…
it says: The page you requested could not be found.

[Majijiboo]

Thanks for responding. I made the below code and unfortunately didn’t work. When you have time in a week or 2, would love to know what went wrong. Thanks.

function post_time ( $output) {
$output = preg_replace( '/, .*[^ago]/', ' ', $output );
echo $output;
}
add_action ('bbp_theme_before_reply_content', 'post_time') ;

[Robin W]

have you been through the step by step guides in

Codex

[Robin W]

basically you’d need to cut some code to display the date/time, put it in a function that echo’s it, and then hook it to the following action

add_action (‘bbp_theme_before_reply_content’, ‘your_function’) ;

see

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 4

sorry am up to my armpits in other code, or I’d cut it for you !

[Robin W]

should read

<p><a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>edit" >Amend Profile/Change password</a></p>

sorry, wordpress tends to not like code, and keeps trying to edit it !

have amended the codex !

[bustel]

Do the same thing for:

edit function: bbp-reply-edit-link
in the file: wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/template.php

on line 1922

// Get uri
// $uri = bbp_get_reply_edit_url( $r['id'] );
$uri = ( '?edit=1' );

[bustel]

// Get uri
// $uri = bbp_get_topic_edit_url( $r['id'] );
$uri = ( '?edit=1' );

[Majijiboo]

Is the syntax for this <a href=&quot;&quot;<?php&quot;>edit&quot; >Amend Profile/Change password</a> suppose to be this <a href="&"<?php">edit">Amend Profile/Change password</a>? Thanks.

@foxden-vixen That’s awesome you figured it out! Often it is hit and miss for me too.

I use FireFox FireBug and right-click, “Inspect Element” anywhere on a webpage and it tells me what that element is called. The “Read More” element on your page is called a.readmore and the ‘display none’ css should work for that. Maybe:

.forum-archive a.readmore {
     display: none;
}

I should encourage you to start a new thread for topics that don’t go with the topic you are in, though 🙂

[Robin W]

which parts of the plugin do you want to re-write?

You will always be prompted for bbpress updates, so no code you write will be lost by mistake.

If it is templates that you want to alter, then copy only the ones you alter to

wp-content/your-theme/bbpress

see
https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-3/ section 3

of it’s functions, then you should change these using filters see

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 5

[Sascha.H]

Well the problem isnt that i cant install it. Actually i had installed both plugins but i dont want to rewrite the plugin code because when the plugins will be updated my code will be overwrited thats why i want a child-theme but i dont know which parts from the plugin in which folder.

1. Thank you
2. The Problem is the basic URL is http://www.myurl.de/forums/forum/test and when i disable the thickbox its http://www.myurl.de/forum/test. But i want zero tags before. And when i delete the forum field and save than it appears again.

[foxden-vixen]

The site is back up today and I tested it out. It did not work the way you wrote the code.

.forum-archive DIV.sidebar.right, .bbpress .single-forum DIV.sidebar.right, .bbpress .single-topic DIV.sidebar.right {
	display: none !important;
}

should be

.forum-archive DIV.sidebar.right, .bbpress.single-forum DIV.sidebar.right, .bbpress.single-topic DIV.sidebar.right {
	display: none !important;
}

Just taking out the spaces between bbpress and single worked. The syntax was incorrect.

One other stupid question…at the bottom of the main page, which I guess now is called the archive page, there is the “read more” tag. How do I get rid of that? Doesn’t that have to do with the loop?

[Robin W]

find your themes full width page template and then follow the instructions below to get bbpress to use it

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[Robin W]

I’d start by reviewing the layout and functionality

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

the look at

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

to get some widgets in your sidebars

then

bbPress Styling Crib

to get some styling.

[Halo Diehard]

@foxden-vixen try adding a comma and:

.bbpress .single-forum DIV.sidebar.right, .bbpress .single-topic DIV.sidebar.right

after where you already have in the css:

.forum-archive DIV.sidebar.right

so it says:

.forum-archive DIV.sidebar.right, .bbpress .single-forum DIV.sidebar.right, .bbpress .single-topic DIV.sidebar.right {
	display: none !important;
}
