ok, that is not the bbpress widget but a shortcode – bbpress has both for login.

what would you like the shortcode to do that is not standard?

[Robin W]

having hidden it, you can amend the width of the other columns

eg

li.bbp-forum-freshness, li.bbp-topic-freshness {
	display: none;
}

li.bbp-forum-info, li.bbp-topic-title {
	width: 65%;
}

li.bbp-forum-reply-count, li.bbp-forum-topic-count, li.bbp-topic-reply-count, li.bbp-topic-voice-count {
	width: 15%;
}

[Robin W]

can you just let me know what shortcode you are using, then I can try it out on my test site.

[khellstr]

If I understood correctly, those settings affect only to widgets that are placed somewhere, on the sidebar, footer etc.

If I use a Shortcode to place the widget in the Page it will not read those settings, instead it shows the default settings (no links).

…maybe I’m doing this someway wrong, or not like it should be done, I’m quite new to WP and totally new to this “new” WordPress.

[khellstr]

Hi,

I’m trying to access the bbPress widget settings but WP opens the “new” widget editor when I go to Apperance –> Widgets. I have WordPress 5.8.3 Installed, and newest bbPress.

How can I access these settings show in this image:

In the background there is what I get and in the foreground what I want. It is from a tutorial I’m following.

I want to add the widget to the page with a Shortcode, and links aren’t working if I don’t have access to settings.

Robin-w the site is offline. I actually use it for notes on my clients dealings. It did not work for me and I even tried the plugin as well. Seen as it worked for neon67 I can only assume its a plugin that is causing me the problem. I changed the theme to the default WP theme and it did not work. I will deactivate the plugins over the weekend and try the code again and hopefully it will work.

[Robin W]

ok so 2 things you can do here

1. add a label

add_action ('bbp_theme_before_topic_form_content' , 'rew_content_title') ;

function rew_content_title () {
echo '<label for="bbp_topic_content">Topic Content</label><br />' ;
}

Just change ‘Topic Content’ to whatever you wish

2. add back the editor

add_action( 'wp_footer', 'rew_supports_js' );

function rew_supports_js() {
	echo '<script>document.body.classList.remove("no-js");</script>';
}

Put these 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

have you tried this

add_action( 'wp_footer', 'rew_supports_js' );

function rew_supports_js() {
	echo '<script>document.body.classList.remove("no-js");</script>';
}

if it’s wp search then why do they have setting bbpress forum-wide search in bbpress settings?

should I need to look at wp search core code or queries?

[Milan Petrovic]

bbPress search has no options, it is the same as WP search, so if you havw code modifying WP search it will affect bbPress search also.

[Adeel Mughal]

Thanks for replying.

Title and content, and topic replies are not considered as content? that’s why not search from topic replies?

Do I have to do that customization on bbpress search side? because right now I am using default bbpress search.

Can you tell me where should I have to add code or can you refer me to any site where I can check and modify code

[Milan Petrovic]

By default, WP search works on content and title. But, there are plugins and/or custom code that can change that. Maybe you have some custom code to modify the search scope.

[neon67]

Happy new year 2022! we have already arrived.
but the code doesn’t work again 🙂
now your new code is on air .. but .. you can go to the same addresses

[Robin W]

ok, lets try agian and see if we can get there.

Your site has

https://imhodom.ru/forums/users/ox/replies/

so we need to check for ‘/users/’ and ‘/replies/’

and we’ll try and up the priority so that other code does not overwrite

add_action( 'bbp_template_redirect', 'neon_check_replies', 100);

function neon_check_replies(){
	//only execute if the url contains both /user/ and /replies/, so test for this first
	if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/users/') !== FALSE  && strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/replies/') !== FALSE) wp_redirect( 'https://imhodom.ru/forums' );
}

[neon67]

I pasted the code, but …

it should look like this
https://imhodom.ru/forums/users/ox/topics/ – lock оr redirect…
but it doesn’t work like want (that’s want to fix)
https://imhodom.ru/forums/users/ox/replies/

Please delete this message as you see.
The last advice code is inserted and works.

[Robin W]

ok, so if the replies link goes to

https://mysite.com/forums/user/admin/replies/

then this

add_action( 'bbp_template_redirect', 'neon_check_replies');

function neon_check_replies(){
	//only execute if the url contains both /user/ and /replies/, so test for this first
	if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/user/') !== FALSE  && strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/replies/') !== FALSE) wp_redirect( 'https://mysite/home' );
}

will send anyone clicking the link to the site home page

what does it do for you?

[neon67]

Does this code work for you?
If so, I will look on my side myself.
You’ve done so much for me.

[neon67]

I paste the code down before the sign ?>
The first code worked – redirected the address with the word ‘users’.
The second code doesn’t make any changes by the look.

[Robin W]

ok try this

add_action( 'bbp_template_redirect', 'neon_check_replies');

function neon_check_replies(){
	//only execute if the url contains both /users/ and /replies/, so test for this first
	if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/users/') !== FALSE  && strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/replies/') !== FALSE) wp_redirect( 'https://example.com/some/page' );
}

[neon67]

Further study of the code showed that works for all addresses where /users/.
It closes the profile / forums / users / name /
And doesn’t work for / forums / users / name / replies /

[Robin W]

This function will take all attempts to go to the replies page to whatever url you want

add_action( 'bbp_template_redirect', 'neon_check_replies');

function neon_check_replies(){
	//only execute if the url contains both /users/ and /replies/, so test for this first
	if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/users/') == FALSE  && strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/replies/') == FALSE) return ;
	else wp_redirect( 'https://example.com/some/page' );
}

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

Code Snippets

[Robin W]

ok, so using this process for each of the following files in place of xxfilexx.php below

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/xxfilexx.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/xxfilexx.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

so template 1.

\templates\default\bbpress\user-profile.php

to remove lines 42 & 43 to tale out the counts if you wish.

then template 2

templates\default\bbpress\user-details.php

take out lines 34-60

then templates

\templates\default\bbpress\user-topics-created.php
\templates\default\bbpress\user-replies-created.php

take out all the code between the 2 ‘do_action’ lines

That should get you there

[Robin W]

ok, so you say you get an error

Error thrown
Call to a member function get_users_for_object() on null

is this the entire error, or is there more?
when does this occur eg on every website page, on bbpress pages, on particular pages ?

[mica123]

It is so long ago since I used it. I am not sure which theme you are using – it really depends on that. I was using the old Responsive theme and @robkk advised me to use a different code for the bbpress.php file. I am coying what I found in my files for you here, but I really don’t know if this is the correct one. Unfortunately, @robkk is not active any more – he was truly wonderful.
