Do you know any PHP code I can do this in?

[richietsai]

Hi @robin-w,

I just installed your plugin, but the child page still not works.
I build a single page template, put the shortcode in the section(boxed), and set the condition as Any child of > my forum page.
Anything missing?

[andreiandronachi95]

Hello everyone! I’m working on a online store made with Magento, but it also have a forum created with bbPress and I have to make a modification but it’s the first time when I work with WordPress. After we enter in a discussion, we have the question, the answers and after Similar discussions, topics(topics that are in the same category with the question). Right now we are loading 10, but I need a button bellow and everytime when you press it to load another 10. In content-single-topic.php I have this custom code, that give us the number of similar topics, on the homepage of te category we have 50 discussion on page:

<?php
$direct_parent = $post->post_parent;
if (bbp_has_topics(
    array(
        'author' => 0,
        'show_stickies' => false,
        'order' => 'DESC',
        'post_parent' => $direct_parent,
        'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
        'posts_per_page' => 10
    )
))

bbp_get_template_part('bbpress/loop', 'topics');

Can someone help me to add more topics on button click with ajax or something like this?

PinkishHue’s post at https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-get-a-feed-of-all-activity/ might be useful. It has links to shortcode like [display-posts author=”bill”].

[jason4locations]

I’m also interested in that type of shortcodes (and whether they exist), and if there are other ways to do it besides with shortcodes.

If the shortcodes for it don’t exist, I’m a little curious about why they don’t exist, though why they don’t exist isn’t a burning question, to me. I couldn’t find anything like it at https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/.

Though, I already asked how to do it, not necessarily with shortcodes, at https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/links-to-what-was-started-created-by-logged-in-users/. I added the tag “alternatives” to let people know that there might be other ways to do it.

Thanks for your work.

[jason4locations]

Do the topics at

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-activity-topics-started-or-replied-to/

and

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-activity-topics-started/

mean that it can only be done with (what is to me) a lot of code? I’ll learn the code if I have to, but right now I’m looking for something easier, even if it doesn’t give me a lot of control. I know I said I found plugins, but I’d trust what I found so much more if they were discussed in places like wpbeginner and this bbPress support forum. How can I tell if I should go with a plugin?

Adding tags like “user activity”, “activity widget”, and “activity menu” might make this topic helpful for others, unless what I’m looking for is called something else that I don’t know the name of.

Was it wrong to create this reply, if it is bumping?

Thank you.

[Robin W]

so how is it visible, as a menu item?
and what method in item 3 of this are you using

Hi,

I’d like to modify the reply topic from paragraph <p> to heading <h1> or <h2>. I tried to modify few php files but couldn’t get it working. Also checked few codex content but couldn’t find anything relevant. Wondering if somone done this before or knows how to do it. Thanks.

[jason4locations]

If all I want to do is have links to the topics started (and replies created) by the user who is logged in, and I want something simpler than ProfileGrid and UsersWP, what words should I be using to search http://www.wpbeginner.com? Is there a better way to find which one to use?

Do I even need another plugin to do that? Did I fail to see what I need when I was looking through the bbPress and Style Pack widgets, the bbp Style Pack tabs, and the bbPress shortcodes?

[Robin W]

there is an action hook on the forums index so

add_action ('bbp_template_before_forums_index' , 'test_bbpress');

shoul dwork

[bobdobbs]

I’m trying to detect requests for the bbpress forum index page.

Initially I tried ‘bbp_is_forum_archive()’.
This doesn’t return true from the forum archive page.

I decided to test if any bbpress conditional tags were working, so I tested ‘is_bbpress’, because the function calls many (maybe all?) of the other conditionals.

However, ‘is_bbress’ doesn’t return true either.

However, on any page in my site, whether bbpress is on that page or not, this condition returns true:
‘if ( ! is_bbpress() )…’

What could be happening here?

This is my function and the hook I’m using:

add_action('init', 'test_bbpress');
function  test_bbpress() {

    if (  is_bbpress()  ) {
	wp_die("got to the forums page") ;
    }

}

[Robin W]

so can you post the exact code you tried, and say where you put it

[Robin W]

ok, try this

add_filter ('bbp_get_time_since' , 'rew_time_since_translate' ) ;
		
	
	function rew_time_since_translate ($output) {
		$output = preg_replace('/years/', 'new word', $output);
		$output = preg_replace('/year/', 'new word', $output);
		$output = preg_replace('/days/', 'new word', $output);
		$output = preg_replace('/day/', 'new word', $output);
		
		return $output ;
	}

so change ‘new word’ in each case for what you want to show

you can add as many lines as you need, but always do the plural first so ‘years’ followed by ‘year’

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

Is there a way to remove the widget and just have a page for folks to go to instead?

A potentially quick and easy solution would be to create a page and embed the widget within it. To help with that, you might use this plugin or some other similar one:

Widget Shortcode

(I haven’t used it, and can’t vouch for it…and probably there are also block plugins that do much the same.)

Hi,

I want to change generally all x days (years, whatever) ago to german like “vor x Tagen”.

I Have found the code base in inludes/commeons/formatting.php.
But I’m not so goog in develeoping.
Can somebaody help me please?

Kind regards,
Ole

[jason4locations]

The reason I asked Robin W. that question is because if the bbPress Login Widget has more than the following three options

1. Title: Here you can set the title of the widget as it will be displayed in the sidebar.
2. Register URI: Link to your custom signup page eg. A WordPress page using the [bbp-register] shortcode.
3. Lost Password URI: Link to your lost-password page eg. A WordPress page using the [bbp-lost-pass] shortcode.

then I might be missing out on too much to use a different Login Widget instead, and therefore I should try harder to figure out how to use the bbPress Login Widget, even though I’ve been struggling to figure out how to use it for a very long time.

@robin-w,

… and anyone who happens to look at this and is running MemberPress.

Yes, there is more to do with MP. MP Members may or may not have actual “Subscriptions.” They can also just have memberships without what MP calls subscriptions. These membership can go “inactive.” But, unfortunately, that can happen *temporarily* if their credit card needs to be updated.

None-the-less, your code examples are quite valuable!

In the unlikely event that anyone else here is running MP and is interested in this, please chime in here (or otherwise contact me). I would love to compare notes on this and related things.

-Mike

[sino27]

Thanks for your input but don’t waste time. I contacted some developers and they were able to provide me the code. It worked and I moved on to another project, I don’t even remember it. Anyway it was possible.

All the best to you and stay healthy.

Cheers

Well, as you can see, the code posted here is almost 5 years old. So it’s understandable it doesn’t work anymore ;-). Also, I don’t think a 404 means it’s a “serious privacy issue”. Something isn’t working correctly, so my first step would be to check the logs and see what is causing the 404 and go from there.

Very busy atm and currently don’t have a BP test setup running. If you still need a solution maybe I can find some time in the coming days.

After installing bbpress I have a set of forums.

Every forum is presented using a php template in my child theme.
The php template has the filename bbpress.php.

I’d like to create a php template that applies *just* to the individual forum pages. Not the forum topics or singles. Or anything else.

I’ve been looking at this:

Template hierarchy in detail

The heirarchy seems to suggest that you can use ‘single-[forum].php’, which suggests that ‘[forum]’ needs to be substituted with the name of the forum.

… which is great. But I want one template to be applied to all forum singles and nothing else.

Just to test, I copied my existing bbress.php to a file called ‘single-forum.php’.
bbpress did pick this up and use it for my forum singles.
But the page didn’t present the actual forum. Where the forum should have been, there was just empty space.

So… how do I create a template that gets applied to all forums and nothing else?

[bobdobbs]

I’ve set up a set of discussion forums on a site. Now I want to the purpose of each forum to be clear.

One forum is called ‘Introductions’.
I’d like to have a message on the page saying something like “Hi. This is where we get to know each other”.

I guess I could hack up something with ACF and put some logic in the page template that shows the forums. But I’m wondering if there’s a faster option.

Is there an inbuilt way to make add non-hardcoded content to the forum pages?

[Robin W]

without knowing how you are set up, I cannot answer, and as I say I cannot visit your site to see where the login is.

but try dashboard>permalimks and just click save – this resets the permalinks and may help.

Otherwise where are your users logging in ? a page, or widget and if so what shortcode for the page or what widget?

[djintelbe]

Hello,

Some mathematical objects written in mathjax/latex use backslash (\). For example, one use \sqrt{} for the square root function, \mathbb{} for the set of numbers. In bbpress forums, these objects work perfectly but when the forums are displayed in buddypress activities streams, the backslash disappears and therefore the mathematical symbols are not rendered and make the texts difficult to read. If the texts are typed directly in buddypress side, things are also alright. So, the problem seems to be in the transition from forum to the buddypress activities.

I tried some solutions but nothing work. For example, I tried this solution: remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_topic_post_content’, ‘stripslashes_deep’ ); but it did not work.
So I am asking for help; how can I do to solve the problem?

Thank you in advance

Wordpress 5.7.2
bbpress 2.6.6

Regards

Nestor

@mike80222 looking again, your code might need

$subscription = $event->get_data();
$user = $subscription->user();
$user_id = something more to get the ID ;

but I’d suggest you raise a ticket or look through the documentation.

[Robin W]

BOTH

You will need to test the below, as I don’t use either plugin on any forum site.

PM PRO

for PMpro you have the following hooks :

Action and Filter Hooks

I am guessing that pmpro_membership_post_membership_expiry is the correct hook.

so the code you need is :

add_action( 'pmpro_membership_post_membership_expiry', 'rew_remove_subscriptions') ;

function rew_remove_subscriptions ($user_id=0) {
	$forums = bbp_get_user_subscribed_forum_ids ($user_id) ;
	foreach ($forums as $forum=>$id) {
		bbp_remove_user_subscription ($user_id, $id, 'post' ) ;
	}
	$topics = bbp_get_user_subscribed_topic_ids ($user_id) ;
	foreach ($topics as $topic=>$id) {
	bbp_remove_user_subscription ($user_id, $id , 'post' ) ;
	}
}

MEMBERPRESS

for Memberpress you have the following links

https://docs.memberpress.com/article/325-action-hooks-in-memberpress

I am guessing that ‘mepr-event-subscription-stopped`

is the correct one, but you might need to query with memberpress

so for memberpress you would have

add_action( 'mepr-event-subscription-stopped', 'rew_remove_subscriptions') ;

function rew_remove_subscriptions ($event) {
	$subscription = $event->get_data();
	$user_id = $subscription->user();
	$forums = bbp_get_user_subscribed_forum_ids ($user_id) ;
	foreach ($forums as $forum=>$id) {
		bbp_remove_user_subscription ($user_id, $id, 'post' ) ;
	}
	$topics = bbp_get_user_subscribed_topic_ids ($user_id) ;
	foreach ($topics as $topic=>$id) {
	bbp_remove_user_subscription ($user_id, $id , 'post' ) ;
	}
}

BOTH

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
