wondering if anyone has a quick snippet of code that answers @anallabres initial question.

[remedy01]

Hello,

Is it possible to limit the number of topics displayed with the [“bbp-topic-index”] shortcode?

Thanks,
Ian

[Heartwood]

I’m puzzled by that as well. My quick solution is to add the following to my theme’s stylesheet:

.bbp-breadcrumb-current {display: none;}

[Drover]

I found THIS in the Codex, which almost tells me what I need. But where do I place the new, modified file?

Thanks.

After about two hours I could find a solution for me. It turned out that current_user_can( 'bbp_forums_admin' ) resulted in false. This is why I could not access the menu or even write replies although the user admin showed me as WP administrator and forum keymaster.

I wanted to check why my user did not have the capability “bbp_forums_admin” and installed the plugin Capability Manager Enhanced. After activation of the plugin everything worked fine again. All menu items showed up and I could post replies. Maybe this plugin fixed what bbpress messed up after updating to 2.3.2…

Hi, I tried installing the plugin since I am not good with codes. When I tried to activate the plugin I got the following error.

“The package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature.”

Any idea how to fix it?

The pagination count (count of pages) for my topic archive is wrong.
The page count (and clickable links in the generated page navigation) says 16 pages. But actually only pages from 1 to 13 will work (from 14 to 16 will return 404).

Forum archives and individuall discussion (replies) pagination will work fine.

I’ve set to display 15 discussions per page. If I change this number the pagination count might change as well but the error will stay (just the total count will change, but again it adds up a couple of pages that shouldn’t be there). This happens also if I use the shortcode to show up latest discussions (topics).

I tried to reset the counters in forum tools, but didn’t produce a change.

I tried to force the number of queried posts per page (topics per page) via pre_get_posts filter, but doesn’t change the pagination error.

I don’t know how to solve this. I’m using bbp 2.3.2 and wp 3.5.2. Buddypress is also installed. No legacy forums/groups activated.

[Laughing Cat]

Happens to me too.

Sometimes it logs me in after a while, but if I do searches or read replies the code is all messed up, I have parts of template files inside the reply or search loop. I think you have some serious bug.

Hello,

I am trying to add the logged in user’s forum topics to my BuddyPress site in a custom sidebar. I keep getting this error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_has_forum_topics()

..when inserting the following:

<?php locate_template( array( 'forums/forums-loop.php' ), true ); ?>

How can I easily list the logged in user’s forum posts without relying on the recent topics widget that ships with bbPress?

Thanks

I hope this has a very simple solution.

I need to either stop a BBpress template-tags function from happening, or over-ride it with a new one, but want to do this from a plugin, rather than amending BBpress code.

Is there a line of code that simply stops a function within BBpress, or a quick way to overwrite one using a plugin.

More detail below

I want to revise the bbp_single_topic_description which is currently used in content-single-topic.php to show the phrase “This topic contains 2 replies, has 2 voices etc.” below a post

The bbp_single_topic_description is defined in /includes/topics/template-tags.php

I have written a pluggin that creates a new function, and uses the bbp_template_before_single_topic action hook in content-single-topic.php to display the new wording .

ie

add_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_topic',  'btv_single_topic_description');
function btv_single_topic_description( $args = '' ) {
	CODING STUFF;
	}

But I need to stop the old wording displaying as well as this.

I have three approaches

1. Just comment out the appropriate line in content-single-topic.php – simple to do, but of course gets overwritten by new releases
2. Do something in the plugin that stops bbp_single_topic_description from working using code within my plugin – if this is easy, that is what I’d like to do, but as the function doesn’t have an action hook as far as I know, I don’t know how to remove it.
3. Do something to make my function replace/overwrite the bbpress function, so that I don’t have to hook it anywhere?

Can anyone help me with either 2 or 3 – I hope it’s an easy answer, but am stumped !

I’m trying to make it so that only members of a certain s2member view specific styles in ONLY that forum. Please see below – it’s not working but Im not sure how to call the forum.

   <?php 
	if (forum("professional-membership-2")){
	if (current_user_can("access_s2member_level0")){ 
echo '<style>
.bbp-reply-form{display:none;}
</style>';
} elseif (current_user_can("access_s2member_level1")){
echo '<style>
.bbp-reply-form{display:none;}
</style>';
} elseif (current_user_can("access_s2member_level2")){
echo '<style>
.bbp-reply-form{display:none;}
</style>';
} elseif (current_user_can("access_s2member_level3")){
echo '<style>
.bbp-reply-form{display:none;}
</style>';
} else {
}  
 }  ?>

Hi there,
I have recently installed bbPress on our site.
It is a great feature.

However,
if you take a look at:
http://cym.org/webmaster/support/forum/front-end-support/

You will notice that the area where we can insert a new heading is covered up by the text editor.

I cant find the code to amend the layout for this.

Help!

WordPress version: 3.5.2
bbPress version: 2.3.2
Number of plugins: 1 (bbpress)
Active theme: Twenty-twelve
Environment: Virtual machine built with Vagrant.
Folder rights ?: All good.
Have I fiddled with bbpress source code ?: not yet.

I’m having the same issue as multiple topics I’ve seen here.

The Nonce hidden field is in the form (inspected with Chrome dev tools) but I always get the “ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that?”

Shortcode to display posts like ShowCase:
http://theme.firmasite.com/showcase-shortcode/

I would like to hear your suggestions on this. Please send a comment in post.

[Nate]

He’ll just tell you that the problem doesn’t exist.

You know, when I mentioned it the 3 other times (along with another user that had the same complaint). Or the fact that any user can go in and edit (or delete) the bbPress codex pages.

Nothing to see here, move along …

[ignitionmedia]

Update: I ended up added this to my fuctions.php and its a fix

bbp_show_lead_topic

[John James Jacoby]

1. Remove the view=all query argument; does it work then?
2. You’re not using the code from the codex page. $args['tinymce'] = true; is what turns the visual editor on.

Hi:

I have a bad feeling that this is something that gets asked all the time and I just haven’t found the right search terms, but here it goes. Please just direct me to prior threads.

If you visit my forum at: http://www.tnbizguide.com/forums/forum/tnbizguide-talk/

You see that bbPress is being forced to wrap the menu and other items in awkward places instead of displaying everything on one line together that should be on one line?

Is there any way to fix this a non-coder can handle? 🙂

[Peter]

I was able to fix this by using the following code:

<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { ?>

<?php if ( bbp_show_lead_topic() ) : ?>
		 
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-topic-lead' );	?>
                			 
<?php endif; ?>

<?php } else { ?>
					 
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-topic-lead' );	?>
                			 		
<?php } ?>

Two Questions:

1. The Edit post button on the bar of the post is throwing a 404 error. It is trying to take me to the following url: http://intranet/index.php/forums/topic/the-cooking-thread/edit/?view=all and there does not seem to be a corresponding page. Is there something during initial setup that I missed to allow for this url to be populated upon post creation? I am still able to edit via the “Topics” area of the dashboard but I would like for this functionality to work for my users.

2. I am trying to override the front-end post editor to be a rich editor. I have tried installing the tinyMCE plugin and replace the built in editor with the html tags via http://codex.bbpress.org/enable-visual-editor/ with the following code:
function tmceeditor( $args = array() ) {
$args[‘teeny’] = false;
return $args;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args’, ‘tmceeditor’ );

but am having no luck. Again, the editor in the dashboard editor seems to be inheriting the tinyMCE functionality but I would like the user front-end to use this editor as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am on WP 3.5.2 and bbPress 2.3.2 with a custom theme.

[Peter]

I edited content-single-topic.php and removed the ‘<?php if ( bbp_show_lead_topic() ) : ?>
<?php endif; ?>` The post shows up when I click on the topic, but now if I login and click a topic the post displays twice. I am also using a child theme so I wont break anything.

What I had before:

<?php if ( bbp_show_lead_topic() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-topic-lead' ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

Hope this helps

[wallstreettrini]

Why can i just remove the code attached to words in the front page?

[Robin W]

I just added a new page called “forums” and put the text there.
then put the forums index shortcode (bbp-forum-index put in square brackets) after it

or is this not your problem?

[akapope]

Thanks for the help guys 🙂

I figured it out, but thought I would update in case anyone comes across this as well. I admit this may not be the best solution; however it is working and I am happy.

In the /wp-includes/post-template.php file, at line 427 I edited it to this:

if ( is_single() ) {
		$post_id = $wp_query->get_queried_object_id();
		$post = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
		$parent_id = get_post($post_id)->post_parent;

		$classes[] = 'single';
		if ( isset( $post->post_type ) ) {
			$classes[] = 'single-' . sanitize_html_class($post->post_type, $post_id);
			$classes[] = 'postid-' . $post_id;
			$classes[] = 'parentforum-' . $parent_id;

Where $parent_id = get_post($post_id)->post_parent;
And $classes[] = 'parentforum-' .$parent_id;

Are the additions.

Then in the themes /style.css file I added something like:

.parentforum-17,
.postid-17 {
background: #000000 url(http://alysiaworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/alysiasea.jpg) center top no-repeat fixed;
}

Boom Baby!
