The Author section seems to have a width of 115px and I’d like to widen that. I’ve tried using the below code which I pulled from a the inspect bar in Chrome and pasted into my child themes styles.css but it doesn’t work.

Can anybody help?

}

try this

add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title', function ($title) {
 if ( is_category() ) {
 $title = single_cat_title( '', false );
 } elseif ( is_tag() ) {
 $title = single_tag_title( '', false );
 } elseif ( is_author() ) {
 $title = '<span class="vcard">' . get_the_author() . '</span>' ;
 }
 
 return $title;
});

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

On pages where I use the bbp-single-forum shortcode I am having an issue with the ‘Create new Topic’ text box displaying.

The topic Title field displays and can be populated fine but the main content textbox appears as a slim expandable box only a few pixels high. If you expand it no text can be entered into the box.

Also on the pages where the bbp-single-forum shortcode is being used the Home and Update icons do not display correctly, instead presenting a broken image type icon. Removing the bbp-single-forum shortcode makes the admin bar icons display correctly.

An example of a page with this issue is https://www.adventureridingnz.co.nz/motorcycles/bmw/

I am not certain, but on save a function is run that includes the wordpress function ‘sanitize_text_field’ which may well be stripping the @

what the code does is to try and find out the user_id of the name entered, and then passes this to

bbp_add_moderator( $forum_id, $user_id );

If I am guessing that this is not something you need to do too often, you could do it programatically if you know how?

in essence there are 2 functions

bbp_add_moderator( $forum_id, $user_id );
bbp_remove_moderator( $forum_id, $user_id );

Looks like something replaces 'function bbp_get_reply_author_link' bbpress/includes/replies/template.php

[Robin W]

ok, I am seeing this when logged in or logged out with style pack active

<span class="topic-author">
<a href="/forums/user/testuser1/" title="View testuser1's profile" class="bbp-author-link">
<span class="bbp-author-avatar">

<span class="bbp-author-name">testuser1

</span>

not sure which you are saying is different as your original post says ‘when user logged in’ in both cases??

[Robin W]

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/feedback-no-access.php

transfer this to your pc and edit the text as desired

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/feedback-no-access.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

untested, but of you add

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'user-login' ); ?>

to the end of that form, it should also show a login

[Robin W]

I appreciate your frustration, but not sure ‘fault’ is the correct word.

bbpress has changed something – but the ‘fix’ when it comes may not ‘fix’ you, as your site is adding a no-js class (from either the ‘Publisher’ theme or a plugin) which then isn’t overwritten as is normal practice by a test within your theme or the plugin.

you could try adding this to the custom css of your theme

.no-js {
display : inline !important
}

to override the bbpress setting

[Robin W]

Untested, but find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

change line 31

from

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

to

<?php if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() && (bbp_get_forum_id() != '2927') ) : ?>

and save

where 2927 is the forum you don’t want to show the form for

then 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/form-topic.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

If you want multiple forums, you could create and array and test against that

[Robin W]

so do you want to hide the new topic form every time this particular forum displays (easier), or just for this particular shortcode on a page (more difficult) ?

My dashboard takes me here when I click for latest updates.

But that is not up to date, how do we know what is in an update before we install it?

[bradm413]

bbPress Version 2.6.9
WP version 5.8.2
site: https://branchtheworld.com

I have searched and haven’t found an exact case like what I’m looking for. I would like to hide the “New Topic” form that displays when using this shortcode:

[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] – Display a single forums topics. eg. [bbp-single-forum id=32]

See screenshot here:

Is this something I’ll need to do with custom coding, or is there a plugin or another simple way to achieve this?

[Robin W]

your theme/developer has added the ‘no-js’ class to the very top, hence why the other codes are not working.

can you try this snippet

add_action( 'wp_footer', 'rew_supports_js' );

function rew_supports_js() {
	echo '<script>document.documentElement.className = document.documentElement.className.replace(/\bno-js\b/g, '') + " js ";</script>';
}

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

The width is governed by a div with the class rt-container, but it is not clear what craetes that.

Try this in the custom css part of your theme

.rt-container {
	width: 1500px !important;
}

[dusemedia]

That plugin works fine for the WP Classic Editor but not for the BBPress Teeny editor.

The paste as plain text code in the documentation above works fine for the regular BBPress TinyMCE editor but not for the BBPress Teeny editor.

buddypress has profile fields –

@oscowordpress1

There is a temporary fix, either

1. use code

if( !function_exists( 'bbpress_browser_supports_js' ) ){
	function bbpress_browser_supports_js() {
		echo '<script>document.body.classList.remove("no-js");</script>';
	}
	add_action( 'wp_footer', 'bbpress_browser_supports_js' );
}

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

or

2. install and activate

bbp style pack

[pannenkoek]

Oh wait wrong code and not able to edit original post… here is the good one

jQuery("form.bbp-login-form").find(".bbp-submit-wrapper").append( '<button class="button" onclick="location.href=\'http://LINK-TO-REGISTER-PAGE\'" type="button">Registreer</button>' );

[pannenkoek]

And then I stumbled on to the same problem. I came up with the following solution.

Create a page and add the shortcode [bbp-register] to display the register screen.

Then add the following code to your functions.php

function add_bbp_register_button() {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
     jQuery('.bbp-submit-wrapper').append( '<button onclick="location.href=\'http://LINK-TO-REGISTER-PAGE\'" type="button">Register</button>' );
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'add_bbp_register_button');
 

cheers

this is a temporary fix, the bbpress authors are looking at a permanent one

if( !function_exists( 'bbpress_browser_supports_js' ) ){
	function bbpress_browser_supports_js() {

@johnjamesjacoby –

as far as I understand, the issue is detailed in changeset 7190 – yes?

so it is basically to hide the ‘generate passwword’ in form-user-passwords.php if the user’s browser does not support js or it is disabled.

If so, at the moment all bbpress pages end up with a no-js class as bbpress sets ‘no-js’ as the default, which means that the quicktags do not display on the topic and reply forms as they need js but the css thinks it is no-js, and the visual editor does not work for the same reasons.

At the moment you only test for js using the script technique in form-user-passwords.php viz

<script type="text/javascript">
	document.body.className = document.body.className.replace( 'no-js', 'js' );
</script>

so I would suggest 1 of 2 approaches

1. putting this test in more generally so it runs on any bbpress page (as usefully suggested by @webcreations907) maybe by adding to the main function, or adding a filter in \includes\core\filters.php to run the script

so something like :

add_filter ('bbp_body_class' , bbp_test_js) ;
function bbp_test_js ($classes) {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
	document.body.className = document.body.className.replace( 'no-js', 'js' );
</script>
<?php
return $classes ;
}

so that others could disable it

2. changing the class to bbp-no-js should work, if you do this in the bbp_body_class function and the form-user-passwords.php and in css, then I can no reason why it would not work if that is the sole intention of this.

[John James Jacoby]

@robin-w – any suggestions on improvements bbPress should make?

I was thinking of renaming no-js to bbp-no-js to try and avoid an issue with other plugins or themes already doing something with that class, but I’m not sure that solves this specific problem.

[John James Jacoby]

There is also…

do_action( 'bbp_add_user_subscription', $user_id, $object_id, $type );

…and…

do_action( 'bbp_remove_user_subscription', $user_id, $object_id, $type );

…if you need something a bit more lower-level, that isn’t tied directly to the request handler.
