sorry, untested code, go with

if ($forum_id == ‘12345’) {

[outkax]

I tried another method but no way bbp_forum_id only displays the forum id.I tried with I tried with “bbp_get_forum_id” that doesn’t work either.

<div id="bbpress-forums" class="bbpress-wrapper">

	<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>

	<?php //bbp_forum_subscription_link(); ?>

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum' ); ?>

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

		<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'protected' ); ?>

	<?php else : ?>

		<?php //bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>

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

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'forums' ); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

		<?php if ( ! bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop',       'topics'    ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form',       'topic'     ); ?>

		<?php elseif ( ! bbp_is_forum_category() ) : ?>
			<?php if(bbp_forum_id() === '513'): ?>
			<?php echo 'yes'; ?>
			<?php else :  ?>
				<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'feedback',   'no-topics' ); ?>

				<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form',       'topic'     ); ?>
			<?php ?>
			<?php endif; ?>
		<?php endif; ?>

	<?php endif; ?>

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_single_forum' ); ?>

</div>

I tested with your code Robin, it does not work. The if is missing parentheses. But even with that doesn’t work. It displays all the forums with the content of the if and does not take into account the id I give it.

[bobdobbs]

I have a solution.

It relies on a couple of assumptions: one being that the structure of URL’s is like this:
‘http://mysite.com/forums/…’

Assumption 2: all users with an account on the website are allowed to access the forum.

This function does the following:
If the user requests a resource under ‘/forums/’ then we test to see if the user has a wordpress account and is logged in. If the user isn’t logged into the wordpress account, then they get denied.

In production I’ve replaced ‘wp_die’ with a wp_redirect to another page.

/**
* If a user is not a forum member, and requests the forum index page then redirect them
*/

add_action('init', 'as_protect_forums');

function  as_protect_forums() {

    // get the path of the requested URI
    $current_url = home_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

    $path = parse_url($current_url, PHP_URL_PATH) ;

    $parts = explode('/', $path) ;

    $first_part = $parts[1] ;

    if (  $first_part === 'forums' ) {
        if ( 0 === get_current_user_id() ) {
            wp_die('nope');
        }
    }

}

Hi @outkax 👋

The functionality you’re looking for does not currently exist.

The bbp_get_template_part filter exists to hook into this API and extend the template parts to attempt to locate, so it would be achievable with some custom code.

[Robin W]

have you been to

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

and looked at item 3?

[drivinghome]

WP 5.8.1 bbPress 2.6.6

Can the bbPress Forum 2.6.6 version be used with Elementor and or does it have a shortcode so that we can embed the forum onto an existing page.

Thanks

Greg

[Robin W]

I am very unclear as to what you are trying to achieve.

if you want one forum say forum id 12345 to display differently, then just amend content-single-forum to

<?php
$forum_id = bbp_forum_id() ; 
if $forum_id = '12345' {
?>

<div id="bbpress-forums" class="bbpress-wrapper">

	<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>

	<?php bbp_forum_subscription_link(); ?>

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum' ); ?>

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

		<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'protected' ); ?>

	<?php else : ?>

		<?php bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>

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

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'forums' ); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

		<?php if ( ! bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop',       'topics'    ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form',       'topic'     ); ?>

		<?php elseif ( ! bbp_is_forum_category() ) : ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'feedback',   'no-topics' ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form',       'topic'     ); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

	<?php endif; ?>

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_single_forum' ); ?>

</div>
<?php
}
else {
?>
<div id="bbpress-forums" class="bbpress-wrapper">

	<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>

	<?php bbp_forum_subscription_link(); ?>

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum' ); ?>

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

		<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'protected' ); ?>

	<?php else : ?>

		<?php bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>

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

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'forums' ); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

		<?php if ( ! bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop',       'topics'    ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form',       'topic'     ); ?>

		<?php elseif ( ! bbp_is_forum_category() ) : ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'feedback',   'no-topics' ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form',       'topic'     ); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

	<?php endif; ?>

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_single_forum' ); ?>

</div>
<?php } ?>

and change whichever display you want

[Robin W]

you could try method 2 in this

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

it might work, it might not 🙂

[Ludovic S. Clain]

Hi there 👋
I followed this step by step guide
👉 https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/#3-%c2%a0creating-a-forum-page

And I’m annoyed with one quirk that I can’t seem to resolve: My borders aren’t showing!
With method # 1 my borders disappear and with method # 2 everything is normal.
How can I fix this please?

My regards,
Ludovic

[Nigel M Rodgers]

Hi,

I just did something similar for Rank Math SEO plugin:

/**
 * Sets bbPress user profile pages to noindex
 *
 * @param array $robots The meta robots directives.
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/robots', function( $robots ) {
    
    if (!bbp_is_single_user_profile()) {
        return $robots;
        }
    unset( $robots['index']);
    $robots['noindex'] = 'noindex';
    return $robots;
});

Cheers

[jappan]

add_filter('bp_email_use_wp_mail', function () {
    return true;
});

you should add this code in function.php

[Robin W]

ok, the line

echo esc_html__( 'You must be logged in to create new topics.', 'bbpress' ) . ' <a href="' . esc_url( thim_get_login_page_url() ) . '">' . esc_html__( 'Login here', 'bbpress' ) . '</a>';

is doing the Login Here

This line chooses the location from a setting in your theme thim_get_login_page_url()

so I suspect it is as simple as changing that setting to the page you want it to say, so look at your theme settings

If that doesn’t work, come back

[Robin W]

ok, delete ALL of the contents of form-user-login.php and instead put

<a href="https://mydomain.com/login/">Login here</a>

and that’s what will show 🙂

[cosmiclove1978]

Hi Robin!
Thanks for your quick reply and assistance. But there’s only one major challenge (at least to me) I am currently facing, which I’ll describe below:

Re: — “Then amend this file to take out the current form and put in a link”

I get the “what” to-do part (i.e. amending file…, creating a folder in my child theme, etc) but as for the “how?”, I have absolutely no idea. In all humility, I make no pretense of familiarity with php syntax or anything php code-related.

I see the <form>….</form> tags in my file below, should I remove it all and place https://mydomain.com/login?

<?php

/**
 * User Login Form
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

// Exit if accessed directly
defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit;

?>

<form method="post" action="<?php bbp_wp_login_action( array( 'context' => 'login_post' ) ); ?>" class="bbp-login-form">
	<fieldset class="bbp-form">
		<legend><?php esc_html_e( 'Log In', 'bbpress' ); ?></legend>

		<div class="bbp-username">
			<label for="user_login"><?php esc_html_e( 'Username', 'bbpress' ); ?>: </label>
			<input type="text" name="log" value="<?php bbp_sanitize_val( 'user_login', 'text' ); ?>" size="20" maxlength="100" id="user_login" autocomplete="off" />
		</div>

		<div class="bbp-password">
			<label for="user_pass"><?php esc_html_e( 'Password', 'bbpress' ); ?>: </label>
			<input type="password" name="pwd" value="<?php bbp_sanitize_val( 'user_pass', 'password' ); ?>" size="20" id="user_pass" autocomplete="off" />
		</div>

		<div class="bbp-remember-me">
			<input type="checkbox" name="rememberme" value="forever" <?php checked( bbp_get_sanitize_val( 'rememberme', 'checkbox' ) ); ?> id="rememberme" />
			<label for="rememberme"><?php esc_html_e( 'Keep me signed in', 'bbpress' ); ?></label>
		</div>

		<?php do_action( 'login_form' ); ?>

		<div class="bbp-submit-wrapper">

			<button type="submit" name="user-submit" id="user-submit" class="button submit user-submit"><?php esc_html_e( 'Log In', 'bbpress' ); ?></button>

			<?php bbp_user_login_fields(); ?>

		</div>
	</fieldset>
</form>

My question is and where do I amend this form-user-login.php file with my login url https://mydomain.com/login/?

If given a blueprint, I can certainly reproduce the steps faithfully when dealing with a similar issue

Can you (or anyone willing) please pinpoint the parts/lines to modify with the url? Thanks so much in advance.

[Sascha]

Found solutions in an other forum, just to add in the functions.php:

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>' ;
} elseif ( is_tax() ) { //for custom post types
    $title = sprintf( __( '%1$s' ), single_term_title( '', false ) );
} elseif (is_post_type_archive()) {
    $title = post_type_archive_title( '', false );
}
return $title;
});

[jappan]

add_filter( 'bbp_get_form_reply_content', function( string $reply_content ) {
    if ( isset( $_GET['bbp_reply_to'] ) && (int) $_GET['bbp_reply_to'] ) {
        $display_name = get_the_author_meta( 'display_name', get_post_field( 'post_author', (int) $_GET['bbp_reply_to'] ) );
        return '@' . $display_name . PHP_EOL . $reply_content;
    }
	return $reply_content;
});

You should add this code in “functions.php”.

[cosmiclove1978]

Hello Regnalf,

I’m happy to report that your fix worked. I had to apply the new class to all the previous CSS code, but it did the trick!!!

This is truly got the time to appreciate firsthand php notions such hook and filters, etc and see them at work. It was neat to be able to fine-tune the bbpress-index class vs bbpress and target one vs all parts of the site. I’m grateful.

Pushing my luck a bit further and modeling your code above and another post I saw elsewhere, I was hoping to get a bit more granular in the way I applied my css to parts of the forum, so I tried this bit of code below to target individual topic pages (or replies?)
but it didn’t work. If it’s not too much to ask, whenever it’s convenient for you or anyone, could you tell me if this code below somewhat does what you just provided me.

function my_topic_class($classes) {
	$classes[] = 'herman-topic-class';
	return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_class','my_topic_class' );

Nowhere, when viewing the topic page or thread did I see the new class ‘herman-topic-class’ in the Inspect Element utility. With your code, the bbpress and bbpress-index appeared.
thanks in advance for all the support.

H

[regnalf]

I don’t know how you excactly you want to style the forum index page, but i found out that the index page doesn’t have the bbpress class included in the body tag like the sub pages. So i had the problem too that i couldn’t style the index page.

Here is my code i use to add this class, and others, to the body tag for the index page. Then you can style the index page with css.

add_filter( 'body_class', 'bbpress_add_body_class' );
function bbpress_add_body_class( $classes )
{

	global $wp;

	$bbpress_index = get_option ('_bbp_root_slug');
	$bbpress_search = get_option ('_bbp_search_slug');
	

	if (strpos($wp->request, $bbpress_index) !== false)
	{
		$classes[] = "bbpress";		
	}

	if ($wp->request == $bbpress_index)
	{
		$classes[] = "bbpress-index";
	}

	if (strpos($wp->request, $bbpress_index . "/" . $bbpress_search) !== false)
	{
		$classes[] = "bbpress-search";		
	}
	

	return $classes;
	
}

[cosmiclove1978]

Hi Robin,

Thanks as always for your assistance.
Starting with the last question, I have BuddyPress installed but not activated…

As for the slug, I’ve now ditched the underscore thing and went with /lab for the shortcode page, and in settings, /forums for the root and /forum for the forum. My permalinks are back to %postname%. This current setting guarantees that all my styles are displayed properly when accessing the page with the bbp-forum-index shortcode.

If I visit the /lab page, it’s all good until I clicked on a specific forum. Then the /lab is lost to acquire /forums (declared the settings) and thus display a 404 error page since there’s no page with that /forums/forum/topic, etc.

When I switch to having the shortcode page slug and settings slug be the same, no 404 error message, but all customizations vanish.

I’ve read some other post talking of templates not being properly referenced and honestly, so I created a bbpress folder in my childtheme. Since I’m not sure which templates/file to copy inside the newly-created BBPRESS there, I tried copying all php files included in the default template folder inside the BBPress plugin, and it didn’t go to well, so I removed them.

Still not sure where else to look. 🙁
I appreciate other pointers you or other bbpress-ers might have.

Best,
H

[cosmiclove1978]

Hello,

I don’t know if anyone here was able to resolve their issue, but mine is quite similar to the OP.

Scenario: Created a forum with the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] on page with having slug /custom_forum to output index page. Used css to style the page (no theme builder).. In the forum settings, the root is set to /forums. When visiting /custom_forum, all the style appears great.

However, if I head to Settings–> Forums to change the root from /forums to /custom_forum (where my shortcode is placed), I lose all the styling.

I reset the permalinks as suggested above to no avail. I know it’s been over 7 years this has been reported and I hope anyone out who’s found a solution can assist me. Thanks in advance for your support.

This is theme related, but if you can give me a link to a live example, I might be able to give you some code

Hmm. The code given in your first reply doesn’t seem to work. Subscribers/Participants still get the error message, “Error: Duplicate reply detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that.”

I have removed all other php and disabled plugins.

Ideas?

[Robin W]

line 309 of includes/replies/functions calls a function calledbbp_check_for_duplicate within the bbp_new_reply_handler function

That function checks for duplicates and is in includes/common/functions line 663

within that function line 676 for a check

if ( user_can( (int) $r['post_author'], 'throttle' ) ) {
		return true;
	}

so allowing participants to throttle allows duplicates

It is a bit of a fudge, but should work !!
