Hi,

Have two bbpress forums on a webpage, a public one, for “usual” registered users, and private one, for “special” registered users.
Used bbp private groups plug-in to create both groups.
Would like to hide private forum menu item from the general registered users (not redirect to some custome page on something).
Asked the question on plugin’s support page, but got no answer.
Is there any code snippet or something I could use to hide the menu item which opens private forum? Now i get 404 error.

This should do it

add_filter( 'bbp_current_author_ip', '__return_false' ) ;

if it doesn’t then

add_filter( 'bbp_current_author_ip', 'rew_remove_ip' );

function rew_remove_ip () {
$retval = 0 ;
return $retval ;
}

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

Hi there, my issue is similar to this, but maybe you can enlighten me.

I’m using bbPress for the forum on my site.

On the front end, users should be able to submit a topic on a forum, when they try, they get a “A name is required for this term.” error, I have already reset the forum, but still has the same thing.
Also the despite that message, the topic will appear in the WP admin dashboard under Topics, but will never show in the forum on the front end, I would like the topic created by users on the front end to appear immediately in the front end as well, any idea of code I can add to the functions.php of the theme or anything I can do ?

[Chuckie]

Thanks for your code. It has been so long now when I asked this that i am reluctant to start fiddling with my setup.

I prefer to continue to wait until such a time and bbPress is updated rather than add bits of code to my functions file.

At the moment what I have works for me due to the bsp settings that were added some time back.

Thank you for the code though.

Hi All, I posted this on the trac ticket too, in case others are interested:

I’ve taken a slightly different approach to Robin, for me I only have logged in users on my forums, and I want to show the pending reply with a warning so the user knows it’s pending but exists. The below will show pending replies to the author who wrote them and a warning to the author that the reply is pending, as well as adding a warning specific to moderators so they clearly know to moderate it.

Hope it helps someone!

/**
 * Modifies the SQL query for reply loops so that reply authors can view their own replies that are still pending
 * @param $where string
 * @param $wp_query WP_Query
 * @return string
 */
function bbp_allow_members_pending_view( $where, $wp_query ){
	global $wpdb;
	$type = $wp_query->query_vars['post_type'];
	if( $type == bbp_get_reply_post_type() && !current_user_can('moderate') && is_user_logged_in() ){
		// check reply here
		$user_id = get_current_user_id();
		$find = "{$wpdb->prefix}posts.post_author = $user_id AND {$wpdb->prefix}posts.post_status = 'private'";
		$replace = $find . $wpdb->prepare(" OR {$wpdb->prefix}posts.post_author = %d AND {$wpdb->prefix}posts.post_status = %s", $user_id, bbp_get_pending_status_id());
		$where = str_replace( $find, $replace, $where );
	}
	return $where;
}
add_action('posts_where', 'bbp_allow_members_pending_view', 10, 2);

/**
 * Shows a warning above pending replies, different warning for mods and the author.
 */
function my_bbp_allow_members_pending_view_warning(){
	if( bbp_get_reply_status() == bbp_get_pending_status_id() ){
		if( current_user_can('moderate') ){
			$warning = 'This reply is pending moderation, approve so others can see it or trash it!';
		}elseif( bbp_get_reply_author_id() == get_current_user_id() ){
			$warning = 'This reply is pending moderation, others will see it once a moderator approves it.';
		}
		if( !empty($warning) ){
			echo '<div class="bbp-template-notice notice"><ul><li>'.$warning.'</li></ul></div>';
		}
	}
}
add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_content', 'my_bbp_allow_members_pending_view_warning');

It’s because avatar image has position: absolute. You have to override or modify this rule. There are a few ways how to handle it depending on where you want to show avatar. You need to play with CSS a bit.

[kwk]

I’m new to coding and do not know much about these things. I would like the avatar or gravatar to show on the right corner of my header.
First of all, do I need to put this code <<get_avatar( wp_get_current_user(), 32 );>> in my header.php file?
And do I need to write some CSS code to style it?

[Robin W]

This appears to be a paid theme, so i have no access to it.

I suggest you try

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

item 8

[Robin W]

I can’t say for sure as I’ve not used that plugin.

But bbpress and worpdress have lots of capabilities to put code where you wish, so

1. exactly where do you want it to go?
2. Do you know how to do a button linking to the page?

[Robin W]

depends on what you mean by ‘solution’ 🙂

get_avatar( wp_get_current_user(), 32 );

[Robin W]

This still works as far as I know

bbPress Notifications

it it is not perfect, the code wold get you most of the way to what you want

[Robin W]

There are tens of thousands of themes, and tens of thousands of plugins. It would be impossible to test every combination. I can’t say that bbpress has been tested with Avada !!

As long as both theme and plugin adhere to basic standards, then it is likely that they will work together.

The plugin is a subset of code from within buddypress, so if you have buddypress you don’t need the plugin.

Hi Robin,
Unfortunately, the code you’ve provided isn’t working for me. However, bbp_get_user_topic_count_raw and bbp_get_user_reply_count_raw work fine, so I’ve replaced the functions using JavaScript.

<?php
$topicCount = bbp_get_user_topic_count_raw(wp_get_current_user()->ID);
$replyCount = bbp_get_user_reply_count_raw(wp_get_current_user()->ID);
?>

<script>
var topicCount = document.querySelector('.bbp-user-topic-count');
var replyCount = document.querySelector('.bbp-user-reply-count');
if(topicCount){topicCount.innerHTML = 'Topics Created: ' + '<?php echo $topicCount ?>'}
if(replyCount){replyCount.innerHTML = 'Replies Created: ' + '<?php echo $replyCount ?>'}
</script>

[Robin W]

yes, this has been happening for a while (it happens on this site!) , and I’ve not got round to looking at why until you posted (I am a bbpress user who helps out here, not one of the bbpress authors).

I’ve just dug into the code and created a trac fix ticket for it

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3429#ticket

in the meantime, this code fixes the problem

add_filter ('bbp_bump_user_topic_count' , 'rew_new_topic_count', 10 , 4) ;

function rew_new_topic_count ($user_topic_count, $user_id, $difference, $count) {
	//check if count is 2 and should be 1 by seeing if user topic count is empty!!
	if ($user_topic_count==2 && empty (bbp_get_user_topic_count( $user_id, true )) )$user_topic_count = 1 ;
return $user_topic_count ;	
}

add_filter ('bbp_bump_user_reply_count' , 'rew_new_reply_count', 10 , 4) ;

function rew_new_reply_count ($user_reply_count, $user_id, $difference, $count) {
	//check if count is 2 and should be 1 by seeing if user topic count is empty!!
	if ($user_reply_count==2 && empty (bbp_get_user_reply_count( $user_id, true )) )$user_reply_count = 1 ;
return $user_reply_count ;	
}

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

I can’t find the solution for custom redirect when forgot password form is sent (the form with only one field, your username or email, and “get new password” button, which triggers the email with the reset password link in it, which then opens the reset password form).

The reset password form which has two fields, “new password” and “repeat new password” (and buton save password). I solved the reset password redirect with code snippet

function wpse_lost_password_redirect() {
    wp_redirect( 'myurl' ); 
    exit;
}
add_action('password_reset', 'wpse_lost_password_redirect');

But it doesn’t work for the lost password form. Is there also a redirect function for forgot password, which I could use?

Have WP 5.7.2., bbpress 2.6.6., also use themeMyLogin plugin.

Thanks in advance!

[biznisoka]

Changed the theme, but the issue was still there.

I now found this solution, it worked for me:

add_action('wp_logout','ps_redirect_after_logout');
function ps_redirect_after_logout(){
         wp_redirect( 'your url here' );
         exit();
}

[Robin W]

This code is from version 1 of bbpress, so probably no longer works.

[kwk]

Please, how did you use the code <<echo bb_get_avatar( bb_get_current_user_info( ‘id’ ), 32 )>> to display the avatar or gravatar of the logged-in user in the header. Any explanation on what to do?

[Robin W]

I saw your one before the edit.

I put this in my form-reply

<input name="toggle-check" id="toggle-check" type="checkbox" value="value">hello

and this in my theme’s functions file

add_action( 'bbp_new_reply_post_extras', 'rew_reply_checkbox' );
add_action( 'bbp_edit_reply_post_extras', 'rew_reply_checkbox' );

function rew_reply_checkbox ($reply_id) {
//and probably set the value to a $_POST parameter you set in the form
if (! empty($_POST['toggle-check'] ) ) {
$myvalue = $_POST['toggle-check'] ;
}
else $myvalue='empty' ;

update_post_meta ($reply_id , 'toggle-check', $myvalue) ;

and that works fine

[vincenzon617]

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I did post a reply but it got deleted while I was trying to get the code in the correct format to make it clearer to read!

The form that I am adding to is within the ‘form-reply.php’ file and I have the checkbox working fine. The struggle I have is that even when the checkbox is clicked the $_POST['my_parameter'] is always empty and so the wrong value is being added as metadata. I have looked up some solutions to this, and the majority of them are suggesting it is something to do with the “action” part of the form, so I am wondering if this is the case or possibly something else?

If you would like me to post the code I will try again!

[Robin W]

ok, I’m very confused.

if you are adding this code to a form, then it is already in a form, so you don’t need the <form…

you’d just need to code I put above ie

echo '<p class="whatever">
<input name="my_parameter" id="my_parameter" type="checkbox" value="whatever_value_you_want" checked="checked">								<label for="whatever">Tick this box to do whatever</label>
</p>' ;

maybe you could post the entire form you are trying to change, and indeed say where/what it is?

[vincenzon617]

I have been implementing this feature to my site today and I have managed to add the metadata to the database however, I can’t seem to be able to receive the POST variable. I have added this checkbox within the form: <form id="new-post" name="new-post" method="post" action="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">. This is the form used to get the user’s reply but as you can see the ‘action’ is set to <?php the_permalink(); ?>. Would this still allow me to access the variable within my functions.php file or will I have to change the action / create another form and submit button?

Many thanks

[n3wjack]

What I do in this case is use client side JavaScript code to inject a new HTML element at the position you want it, with your custom code.
I put a Custom HTML widget on the page which has all the required JS & CSS code.
The advantage of this approach is that you don’t need to mess with the PHP files of your WordPress or bbPress setup, so when you do an upgrade in the future, you don’t have to worry about your changes being overwritten, or your site to break because of your changes.

I use the code below to place a Reply button on top of the page. When it’s clicked, it will scroll down to the new post form at the bottom of the page (the most recent post is on top).

<script type="text/javascript">
	// Add the reply shortcut button at the top.
	let btn = document.createElement("a");
    btn.href='javascript:document.getElementsByClassName("bbp-footer")[0].scrollIntoView()'	

	btn.innerText='Reply'
	btn.className='nj-replybtn'

	let n = document.getElementsByClassName('bbp-replies')[0];

	if (n !== null) {  
		n.parentNode.insertBefore(btn, n);
	}

</script>
<style>
	.nj-replybtn {
		color: white;
		background-color: #007acc;
		
		padding: 5px;
		margin: 2px;
	}
</style>

WP version 5.7.2
bbPress Version: 2.6.6
Astra Theme Version: 3.4.2
Website: https://authorready.com/forum

I did a new install of bbPress on my existing site with the Astra LearnDash theme with no child theme. I followed the instructions on the step-by-step page (https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/) to set up the forum and am using the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] to display the forum on my page.

When I navigate to a topic from the forum (i.e., Forum > Announcements > Test Topic Creation), it shows my 404 page instead of the topic. The same thing happens if I go into the topic from the admin panel and try to preview the page. I have tried to following from other topic support tickets with no success:

1. Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks and clicked save. No change.
2. Installed Health Check & Troubleshooting. Health Check was good.
3. Entered troubleshooting mode and deactivated all but the bbPress plugin with the Twenty Twenty theme. Still no topics, but redirected to the home page instead of the 404.
4. Installed bbPress WP Tweaks and tried all of the .php page settings with no change.

Is there something I’m missing? I’m at a loss of what else to try or why it may not be working.

[Robin W]

unanswered can be done by

bbp style pack

once activated

create a wordpress page and use the [bsp-display-topic-index …..] shortcode

see

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Shortcodes for how to use it – but create one with noreply

then you just create a link to that page
