no not an obvious question !

ok, so I’d start with

dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this resets the permalinks. It may well not chnage anything, but just gets that possible out of the way.

Then can you just confirm which shortcode you are using in your registration page?

Hi – I am new to BBP and this may be a really obvious question.

I am running Avada 7.02 on WP 5.5.1

I have set up the registration and lost password and forum pages – I have allowed anyone to register in settings – however when I test the registration page, it allows me to fill in the Username and email panels. But when I click the register button the page redirects to a 404 page and the registration does not complete. (If the solution is blindingly obvious, please be gentle! but still let me know)

Any ideas, solutions gratefully received.

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

[Rasyr]

I tried using the

//Enable TinyMCE
function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
$args[‘tinymce’] = true;
return $args;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args’, ‘bbp_enable_visual_editor’ );

code from https://codex.bbpress.org/enable-visual-editor/ but when I do, all that happens is that I get 2 tabs on the right (Visual and Text).

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Additionally, is there a way to do New Topic/Reply buttons? so that I do not have the text box at the bottom of every post?

ok cabn you try it, but taking out

// Setup any table joins needed for the topic section
		$this->field_map[] = array(
			'from_tablename'  => 'FORUM_REPLY',

For information. Solution Found = Tag Groups Plugin

You can create several general pages(shortcodes, widjets…) with different profiles and group to one taxonomy bbpress, blogs, woocommerc… according to many characteristics.

Answering my own question –
For the simple things, just go to Appearance->Customize. At the bottom is “Additional CSS”.
Add your code in the editor provided.

For something more complex, including creating a child theme or editing css in the child theme (or in the original theme, against all advice from those who know), a variety of file manager plug-ins will provide access to all files in the WP installation. I picked Filester – File Manager Pro because it looked like it would provide the access I need (and it did).

[Mike Witt]

I am not an expert on this, but what I do it to make a css subdirectory in my child theme. In that directory, css files should override the css in plugins (if they provide for the possibility of overrides, which bbPress does).

There are more details here: https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-2

And here: https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-styling-crib/

And there are also some plugins that can do these things for you.

[robertherold]

Thank you for the answer.
It only works if User Base is users and the code you wrote includes users in it.
If I rewrite User Base to user and also to user in the code, it will no longer work with this custom user root.

[Robin W]

hmmm… the code works fine on my test site.

I can only suggest it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Then come back

[Robin W]

I think this should do it, but check that it works, and try it from topics/replies freshness etc.

add_filter ('bbp_get_user_slug' , 'rew_get_user_slug' ) ;

function rew_get_user_slug ($slug) {
	$default = 'users' ;
	// Filter & return
	return apply_filters( 'rew_get_user_slug', get_option( '_bbp_user_slug', $default ) );
}

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

Code Snippets

[neon67]

OK thanks. Yet will be used the ‘display-none’.
Over time, if I write the code, share it here.

[Robin W]

your theme/elementor is doing this, not bbpress

suggest you look in your theme colors to see if you can change

background-color:#020413;

[Robin W]

@kikismedia – bit confused

If the code is on stackoverflow – can you post a link to it so that you help others who might find this thread
if you have the code already – why are you asking~?

[Antipole]

Don’t know how this happened, but I have found the actual bbp_notify_forum/topic_subscribers calls were missing from the code I posted. Now fixed and updated – added lines 75-84.

[kikismedia]

I saw a code on stackoverflow for bbpress annyomous (@robin-w it’s actually a good idea o but hard to code

[bvaring]

With this codex how do you specify only the latest replies or a specific number of replies for one topic.

[Robin W]

has been asked before an JJJ who wrote most of bbpress says it would be really hard to code.

[Robin W]

These are all issues with your theme, not bbpress.

However in the spirit of helpfulness, I’ll do this last one, but after that you need to refer to your theme’s support channels.

So the best I can do without spending considerable time is :

@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author img.avatar {
	position: relative !important ;
}

#bbpress-forums .bbp-body div.bbp-reply-author {
	padding-left: 0px !important;
}

Which puts it on then left, but is not perfect

[Robin W]

oops sorry the value should be transparent

so

background-color: transparent !important;

and padding in the original code is causing the name issue

so

padding: 5px 20px;

makes it wrap

add

padding : none !important ;

so you end up with

.reply a {
font-size: 12px !important;
background-color: transparent !important;
padding : none !important ;
}

[Robin W]

your themes style sheet

http://www.rockin-wildcat.com/rwc/wp-content/themes/blog-diary-pro/style.css

has line 2201 with

.reply a {
	display: inline-block;
	border-radius: 0;
	color: #fff;
	position: relative;
	font-size: 16px;
	background-color: #46c4f3;
	padding: 5px 20px;
	-webkit-transition: all 0.3s ease-in-out;
	-moz-transition: all 0.3s ease-in-out;
	-ms-transition: all 0.3s ease-in-out;
	-o-transition: all 0.3s ease-in-out;
	transition: all 0.3s ease-in-out;
}

the background-color: #46c4f3; element is causing the box issue, and the font-size: 16px; the text issue

I’d suggest you add these to the custom css area of your theme

.reply a {
	
	font-size: 12px !important;
	background-color: none !important;
}

you can adjust the font-size to whatever value you wish

[Robin W]

yes this seems to be a bug.

in

\bbpress\includes\forums\functions.php

line 197 has

// No forum parent was passed (should never happen)
	if ( empty( $forum_parent_id ) ) {
		bbp_add_error( 'bbp_new_forum_missing_parent', __( '<strong>ERROR</strong>: Your forum must have a parent.', 'bbpress' ) );

but a top level forum will have zero so empty !

(I’m not a bbpress author, I just help moderate here, so not under my direct powers to change)

To correct this for another user, I did the following :

created a hidden forum – then noted the ID (in this case 4537)

then in

\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\form-forum.php

changed line 138 etc. from

<p>
						<label for="bbp_forum_parent_id"><?php esc_html_e( 'Parent Forum:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />

						<?php
							bbp_dropdown( array(
								'select_id' => 'bbp_forum_parent_id',
								'show_none' => esc_html__( '&mdash; No parent &mdash;', 'bbpress' ),
								'selected'  => bbp_get_form_forum_parent(),
								'exclude'   => bbp_get_forum_id()
							) );
						?>
					</p>

to

<?php
					//the code in incudes/forums/functions won't let post parent be blank.
					//to get this to work, we have created a hidden forum in the site.  This forums ID is 4537
					//if the hidden forum exists, then use this forums id 
					//otherwise show the post parent section
					$forum_parent_id = bbp_get_forum_id( 4537 );
					if (!empty( $forum_parent_id )) { ?>
					 <input type="hidden" id="bbp_forum_parent_id" name="bbp_forum_parent_id" value="4537">
					 <?php
					}
					else {
					?>
					<p>
						<label for="bbp_forum_parent_id"><?php esc_html_e( 'Parent Forum:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />

						<?php
							bbp_dropdown( array(
								'select_id' => 'bbp_forum_parent_id',
								'show_none' => esc_html__( '&mdash; No parent &mdash;', 'bbpress' ),
								'selected'  => bbp_get_form_forum_parent(),
								'exclude'   => bbp_get_forum_id()
							) );
						?>
					</p>
					<?php } ?>

This template then gets saved to your child themes directory as

wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-forum.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Finally, add an action to re-write the parent forum from 4537 to zero post forum creation

add_action( 'bbp_new_forum_post_extras', 'ltc_limit_forum', 10 ,1  );

function ltc_limit_forum ($forum_id) {
	//this function is fired when a forum is created
	//set post parent to zero
	wp_update_post(
		array(
			'ID' => $forum_id, 
			'post_parent' => 0
			)
	);
}

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

Code Snippets

You could amend that function to have an if statement so if forum parent is 4537 then create forum parent as 0, but in this case there were no times when a sub forum was being created, so it was not needed.

I know this is quite convoluted, but it worked !!

There is a trac ticket for this issue somewhere, so the authors are aware

[deandimarzo]

I’m using the [bbp-forum-form] shortcode to allow forum moderators to add subforums on our site (is there a better way to do this?) and when submitting the form I get the error “ERROR: Your forum must have a parent.”

I’ve dug through the source code thoroughly to figure out what would be causing this and I just can’t track it down. Any ideas?

[smith512]

Sorry, I forgot to add a code.
add_filter( 'bbp_after_has_search_results_parse_args' , 'my_bbp_filter_search_results' );

Thank you for pointing it out.
