@batmanfan Instead of making this second user a ‘keymaster’ you should make them a ‘moderator’ and this will disable the backend access for you.
Look at the docs here on what each role can and cannot do by default
https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/
There’s probably a plugin for it but I would cheat and make an email address that forwarded to all of the email addresses I wanted. I’ve had a couple of email customisation plugins fail over various updates, so I don’t have any to recommend!
Otherwise, the new user notification emails are pluggable functions which means that you need to override them in a plugin. The function in question starts at line 1569 here: https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-includes/pluggable.php
Don’t edit that code – it will get overwritten in a future update – that’s just the function that you would use to make your own plugin (or what any plugin that does it will use).
Can anyone help on this wp-modal plugin?
http://codex.bbpress.org/modal-login-in-a-menu/#%c2%a01-install-wp-modal-login
I managed to follow the set up instruction all ok and can see the login/out pop up and can login ok. But can’t register new user! after entering new username/email and click ‘signup’ it’s reading…’checking credential’ and then back to register page again, nothing happens.
What have I done wrong?
Sure – this is what I did on a test install. The current menu item class in mine is “current-menu-item” and I added a custom class “forum-class” to the forum menu item in my custom menu. I *always* forget that I need to unhide the css class input by ticking the box in “Screen options” at the top of the “edit menus” screen in admin. You probably don’t but I thought I’d mention. 🙂 Then I use that for the jQuery.
So:
1 – add “forum-class” to your forums menu item in your custom menu
2 – add this to your js file with YOURURL = the url of your site and forums = your forums slug :
$(function() {
var forumURL = window.location.href.indexOf("YOURURL/forums/");
if(forumURL > -1){
$('li.forum-class').addClass('current-menu-item');
}
});
nb: addClass won’t add duplicate classes so no need to test if it’s already there.
Thanks for your attention.
I have copied the template (fullpage.php), renamed to (bbpress.php) and put into the root.
But, the sidebar shown, because calling code of sidebar in the “footer.php” template.
And when i delete the calling code of footer from bbpress.php i have lost all plugins (counters in footer) which shown in the bbpress.php page.
Thanks in advance.
My ites forum: http://med.gn24.net/forum
Shortcode support now added to 0.4.
I’ll have a look at some of the other points above. I’ve begun working on 0.5!
* Visit Admin > Users
* Tick the box next to your account
* Use the right-most drop-down and select “Key Master”
* Save the page
I’ll note again that under normal circumstances this should happen automatically when activating bbPress. Sorry it didn’t, and I’m curious to know any other plugins you may have installed (to see if there’s some conflict with one of them that prevented this.)
Thank you so much, tharsheblows! And your answer is very helpful to me.
I also suppose your method is the right choice than the former which has a flurry of IF statements. Could you post your code for me, please?
Thanks again. 🙂
You can take out <?php bbp_forum_subscription_link(); ?> in content-single-forum.php . I have a bbpress directory in my theme (eg mytheme/bbpress/) where I’ve copied the entire default template and those files overwrite the default theme which I got from templates/default/bbpress in the plugin.
So you’d have something like yourtheme/bbpress/content-single-forum.php. I’m looking at this https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/ and getting confused but I have a feeling you’ll work it out! Anyway, that’s where that code is.
Thank you, where do I insert this code though. I’m new to this whole wordpress thing.
For the topics archive showing all topics, you can use the shortcode [bbp-topic-index] on a normal WordPress page.
“All replies” is slightly different. You could use the Recent Replies widget (https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/) if you had a page with a widget for the content but if you wanted a proper archive page, I think you’d have to make a new template for it. I think it’s one of those things that if enough people ask for it, it might get prioritised for future versions but that’s just a guess. If you are comfortable making page templates, I can post how I did a “latest posts” page (posts = new topics + replies).
I’m not sure what part of the menu you mean, I’m sorry. Do you mean how “support” (with a link to /forums) is highlighted above even when you’re on a topic page? They use a custom nav file:
https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/bb-base/header-nav.php
If I were trying to replicate that, I would use jQuery to add the current-menu-item class to the top forums list item – not that it’s is the right way to do it, it would just be the easiest for me to do and to maintain. You’d need to add it to a javascript file in your template or make one and then include it. If you’re interested, I can post that code – you will need to add a custom class to your forums menu item too.
Sorry, I know that wasn’t too terribly helpful!
From bbPress.org:
bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => true, 'size' => 100 ) );
To set a good expectation, these forums move relatively slowly. If you’re anxious about replies to this topic, tick the “Notify me” box and you’ll get an email when someone replies without the need to bump the topic.
What are some options that serve the same function as these two buttons and that don’t require custom code? What plugin will I need? Thank you.
I’ve been looking through code and settings for a few hours now.
I actually found that I can manually set topics to private by editing their visibility in the dashboard. This provides the exact functionality I need, other than it being manual. Is there anyway to let users set their topics as private when they publish them? Or automatically set topics in a certain forum to private?
Hi,
I’m running a WP site along with bbPress and BP. My problems began when I accidentally disabled bbPress and enabled it back again. From then on TinyMCE shows a blank space, no buttons and visual/text tabs are just dead, so users can hardly post a new topic.
I’ve tried nearly every possible trick known to man (cache, plugins, code lines..) but after 6~7 hours of failure I’m exhausted and frustrated. And what’s even worse: now the login bar (on top) and Twitter widget aren’t visible unless I (you) log in. Both were visible before the incident.
I hope anyone can help me sort this thing out. I’m not exactly an expert, so please keep that in mind before telling me what to do. Thanks in advance.
I’m using:
WP 3.8.1
bbPress 2.5.3-5249
my site: grafiscopio.com
Note: bbpress content is restricted for non-registered visitors
I would like users to be able to create a topic inside the applications forum, once the topic is published only the user who made it and admins can view it.
After some more searching I’ve found;
http://codecanyon.net/item/bbpress-private-content-wordpress-plugin/6390878
This is essentially what I would like but to do, but would have it auto enabled inside the applications forum.
Start here https://codex.wordpress.org/Editor_Style
Then here https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_editor_style
There are also quite a few WordPress plugins that will do the ‘PHP’ part for you, creating the correct functions and the like and you then just add the CSS you want.
Robin,
I am not exactly sure what you mean here. I do know what the permalink for the forum is and /forums/ is part of it, but it doesn’t end the permalink. This is the permalink, with the website and forum name made generic for posting purposes:
http://www.mywebsite.com/forums/forum/ourgroup/
Is the second “/forum/” the issue? If I change this now, after many months, won’t this mess things up like bookmarks, menu links within the site and google records? There are three forums under /forums/ with different names.
The topic that the person would like to reply to is this (a topic she started on a desktop):
http://www.mywebsite.com/forums/topic/needadvice/#post-3735
To repeat, she was able to start topics and reply to topics in the text field prior to the ios upgrade. I guess I don’t understand how the permalink is conflicting with the display of the keyboard when she wants to enter text in the form on the page.
I do understand that js probably plays a role in how taps and drags operate on tablets and phones. In this case these are not triggering the code to display a keyboard but I wouldn’t know where to look for that code and determine what the issue is. Is it a general theme function or is specific to bbPress forms?
my best, matoca
Unfortunately these type of features will require custom code, likely in the form of a plugin to power them, and theme changes to display them.
Thanks, John. I’d like for the page to show two buttons before visitors register or log in. The first button is a post button. The second button would give visitors the option of being updated about new posts and edits by email. These two buttons would direct visitors, who aren’t logged in, to a register or log in screen. Is this possible to do without creating new code?
Hi. I’d like to automatically include a hyperlink to users’ groups (Buddypress) or a custom profile field (BBpress) in all of their topic and response posts in forums. It would be something like a signature, but would be automatic, not a choice.
Any suggestions? I’m not a coder.
I’ve searched support and plugins to no avail. Thanks.
Running WP Version 3.8.2 , BP Version 1.9.2, BBpress Version 2.5.3
Thanks for the reply, but it didn’t seem to work.
How can I make http://leopolds.com/discussions/ look like http://leopolds.com/bbs/ (created using shortcode)?
Hi,
I think I have some theme compatibility issues with my freshly installed bbPress. I’ve just installed bbPress to my new WordPress site, and when I’m trying to open the forum index page, it will show only a mostly blank page with my theme’s top menu. However, the title of the page and the body part of the HTML source seems to be OK – my body tag looks like this:
<body class="forum bbpress single single-forum postid-30 logged-in admin-bar no-customize-support">
I’ve tried to use [bbp-forum-index] shortcode in a page, and it shows the index, but of course I can’t use the forum in this way neither, since if I try to navigate to one of my forum topics, it will also show the blank page.
I’m using Academica theme (the free one), but I’ve found a solution for an other theme (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/non-functional-index-page-when-bbpress-2-1rc4-is-used-with-woothemes-canvas-5-05/) and it seems that fixing my issue would evoke some PHP coding, which I’m not so familiar with. So if you have some tips or solutions, share with me, I’d be very thankful. 🙂
Thanks in advance! 🙂
Ohh, and here is the link to my only forum: http://homeschooling.hu/?forum=probaforum
…and to the page with the shortcode: http://homeschooling.hu/?p=38
what shortcode are you trying to add?
html is easy just echo it in brackets eg
echo '<br>that was a break<div>a div</div></br>' ;
I know this is old thread. But my reply can be useful for the others.
You can change the font-size in your bbpress forum through editing your bbpress.css like as :
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results {
font-size: 14px;
overflow: hidden;
border: 1px solid #eee;
margin-bottom: 20px;
clear: both;
}
In this article writer is explaining step by step. See this:
How to increase the font-size of the content in bbpress forums
thanks
