brilliant – thanks so much for posting the solution, and yes it looks like if you partner with a page and have multiple shortcodes then you may need to choose what the forum root should show.

[Robin W]

these sortcodes are theme(or other plugin) related, not bbpress.

what theme are you using?

[docaj]

Solved! Found an earlier post about a similar problem. I manually edited spam-prevention.php under Mojo Marketplace Plugin to remove all blocked words including breast. Then problem is gone. Strangely, I had uninstalled Mojo Marketplace long time ago and it does not even show up on my Dashboard. Apparently its codes are still there and working.

I don’t think there is a plugin or existing feature that does this.

I’m really surprised that this isn’t a common question, as it is a real huge issue that allows spammers a backdoor to register as a user to your site. Very bad. This code will redirect all login and password attempts to a static page on your site which can use the regular bbp login, register, and pass shortcodes.

You can use this custom code:

<?php
// intercept the Register and Lost your password? links from the standard WP login screen

define( 'REGISTRATION_URL', 'https://example.com/register');

	add_filter('register_url','custom_redirect_login_register');
	add_filter('lostpassword_url','custom_redirect_login_register');

	function custom_redirect_login_register($reg_url) {
		return home_url( REGISTRATION_URL );
	}

	/**
	 * Redirects visitors to <code>wp-login.php?action=register</code> to
	 * <code>site.com/registration-page-name</code>
	 */

	add_action( 'login_form_register', 'custom_catch_register' );
	function custom_catch_register()
	{
		wp_redirect( home_url( REGISTRATION_URL ) );
		exit();
	}

	/*
	 * intercept bbforum.me/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword and
	 *           bbforum.me/wp-login.php?action=retrievepassword
	 *
	 */

	add_action( 'login_form_lostpassword', 'custom_filter_option' );
	add_action( 'login_form_retrievepassword', 'custom_filter_option' );
	/**
	 * Simple wrapper around a call to add_filter to make sure we only
	 * filter an option on the login page.
	 */
	function custom_filter_option()
	{
		wp_redirect( home_url( REGISTRATION_URL ) );
		exit();
	}
?>

There are articles on how do add custom code to your bbPress installation.

Note that this is an option provided with my plugin “Weaver for bbPress” which is a fully turn-key solution to creating a bbPress site. I have not created a stand alone version of this option yet.

Hi Guys,

I am wondering if is there any existing feature on the BBPress to have a login, register, forgot password, email confirmation only in front-end? I know that there are [bbp-login], [bbp-register], and [bbp-lost-pass] short-codes that you can place in the page so that it will display on the front-end but the issue is when user enters an incorrect password or account, it will redirect to admin login. What I wanted is to stay always in the front-end. Or do you have any suggestion what plugin I can use that and compatible?

Thanks,
jack

As far as I can see your theme author has rewritten some (maybe all) of the theme templates, renaming all the bbpress css codes, to harmonise in with the theme, which effectively neuters my plugin.

It would take considerable effort to change all that to make the two work.

I think that is as far as I can help.

[heppusiel]

I just try latest version of BBPress, and this problem exist. Is there any fix coming? Codes above didn’t work for me.

Hello,

I have had to add a space after the https:// to avoid the screen appearing

If you look at Peter Recks’ posts here:
https:// http://www.karavadra.net/forums/topic/header-image-formatting/

There are quotes with text ‘Reconsidering Study, Qualifications & Experience’ with a link to here:
1) https:// http://www.karavadra.net/reconsidering-study-qualifications-experience/

However, Peter has only put in a link in his post which is not to the link 1 above but to here:
2) https:// romancecalling.xyz/?page_id=35

When I look at the link in admin it appears correctly as link 2

Why is the link being changed from the 2nd to the 1st on the user side and the title of the page being added?

And more importantly how do I get it to appear as it as posted, namely link 2.

Note: no a hrefs or any other shortcodes for links are being used — only the URLs 1 and 2.

Thank you,

Bharat

[Robin W]

ok, so you create a page and use shortcodes to achieve this

Shortcodes

eg

[bbp-topic-index]
[bbp-forum-index]

[sovvyg]

fdarn, i am using shortcodes to embed the forums but it doesn’t show on the core pages either. I have tried removing all of the forum shortcodes from the site and this doesn’t seem to make any difference.

[fdarn]

Sovvyg, Are you maybe using a short code to embed the forum on a different page? I am having the same issue when I use shortcodes.

[fdarn]

Hello,
I am using bbPress 2.5.13
I need to use a shortcode to put my forum on a page in wordpress. The shortcode options in bbp style pack will display the topic index but they will not display the Create a New Topic form or Link, like the regular Forum page does. See screenshots for examples.

[rotlichtluzern]

Hi

after the last update, i got an error on line 1800 in functions.php when opening the forum page. according to forum entry here i downloaded and installed beta3. it worked again.

but now bbpress widgets as well as the shortcodes like this:
[bbp_recent_topics max_shown=”5″]
they, spit out all topics instead of only 5…

what to do? install beta2? here is the link (NSFW!):

Home

i leave the error in there for a moment, so you can see it.

thanks!!

[Robin W]

ok, you have two choices

either use the default wordpress lost password and register

http://mysite.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
http://mysite.com/wp-login.php?action=register

obviously changing the ‘mysite.com’ to your sites name

or create pages within your site and use the bbpress shortcodes
and then reference the page url

eg create a page called ‘password’ and have it’s permalink as say ‘password’ and put
[bbp-login] as the page content (you can precede this with any text you like, or have text after) eg

Lost you password?- enter your email and we'll send a new one straight to you
[bbp-login]

Then in the widget you would put

http://mysite.com/password/

you can do the same with [bbp-register] to display the register screen.

[Jakob Helmer]

edit: when a put all the codes for the custom capabilities in a plugin (so I remove it from the functions.php), I am finally able to change the custom capabilties (by changing them in this plugin).
Probably it’s because a plugin is loaded before the theme is loaded

[peet91]

Hi, do you try bbpress shortcodes ?

Here – https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/

[willad]

Hello, I have also been trying to get a new topic button working for some time. In case it is of help to anyone, this is what seems to work for me.

I created a wordpress page template “forum.php” and added the following code – it adds a ‘New Question’ button to the forum page but not if it’s the parent forum:

<?php
get_header(); 

while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
if((($post_type = get_post_type()) == 'forum') ) //make sure we are on a forum
{
  if(bbp_get_forum_id() != 0) //don't add the button to the parent forum
  {
    ?>
    <a href="<?php echo esc_url( add_query_arg( 'c', bbp_get_forum_id( ), site_url( '/new-topic/' ) ) )?>">New Question</a>
    <?php
  }
}
the_content();
endwhile; // End of the loop.    
?>
<?php get_footer();

Now when I click the New Question link it opens the page new-topic and the forum I was on when I pressed the button is the forum the new question will be placed in.

new-topic is a page I created in wordpress, and I gave it a template page-new-topic.php

It contains the following code:

<?php
get_header(); 
$my_c = get_query_var( 'c' );
$forum_add_topic='[bbp-topic-form forum_id='.$my_c.']';
echo do_shortcode($forum_add_topic);
?>
<?php get_footer();

The line

<a href="<?php echo esc_url( add_query_arg( 'c', bbp_get_forum_id( ), site_url( '/new-topic/' ) ) )?>">New Question</a>

in forum.php adds a variable c (which contains the current forum id() -bbp_get_forum_id( ) ) to the url when New Question is clicked.

In page-new-topic.php this variable c is added to the shortcode [bbp-topic-form forum_id=XXX]

do_shortcode then runs the shortcode which creates the form.

I also had to add the following to functions.php to tie the two pages together:

function add_custom_query_var( $vars ){
  $vars[] = "c";
  return $vars;
}
add_filter( 'query_vars', 'add_custom_query_var' );

You could add this as a plugin if you wish.

The idea for the shortcode came from this post: post

How to pass variables through wordpress urls came from this post:

post-2

I am new to WordPress and PHP so there may be better ways of doing this but, as I said, this seems to work.

[sapstudent]

Hi Team,

Here is my situation. I have bbpress installed in my site(sapstudent.com/community). I am displaying it under ‘Community’ page using following two short codes.
[bbp-forum-index]
[bbp-topic-index]

Here SAP HANA, SAP Data Services & SAP BO Business Intelligence are categories, everything else are forums.

Now when I click on lets say ‘SAP HANA'(https://www.sapstudent.com/community/forum/sap-hana), it only displays forums under this category, however I would like to have recent topics below forums section as I have in ‘Community’ page.

The other issue I have is, if I use both [bbp-forum-index], [bbp-topic-index] shortcodes on my main forum page, I am getting two search boxes(one above forum list and other one above topics list). To avoid this, I have disabled ‘Allow forum wide search’.Ideally how can I disable seachbox for [bbp-topic-index] shortcode, so that I will have only one search box on my main page which is above forum list.

[Jakob Helmer]

this solved the issue for me:
I blocked out all codes from the custom roles except for this one:

function add_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role )
{
    /* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
    if( $role == 'bbp_professional' )
        $caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
 
    if( $role == 'bbp_member' )
        $caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
 
    return $caps;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'add_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );

and than I was able to assign capabilities to the new roles via the members plugin of Justin Tadlock.

I’m still wondering why this works for me … but mayby it works for you too … I hope

[bobibrown0]

Hi everyone,

I think the title is clear. Is it possible (with some coding) to display a specific forum category as the index of the forum?

I tried using shortcodes in content-archive-forum, I wasn’t expecting much, and… I didn’t get much results.

Any clue?

[ncrocketry]

I’ve tried to create pages with shortcodes, but the result is the same.

[PinkishHue]

@scottm-ldg Install the ‘bbp additional shortcodes’ plugin, that allows you to specify a different number of topics in the shortcode:

bbp additional shortcodes

Hope that helps.

[PinkishHue]

You could install the ‘bbp additional shortcodes’ plugin, then use that to display just one topic

bbp additional shortcodes

Then use ‘do shortcode’ if you want to place this in a template file, like:

// Use shortcodes in form like Landing Page Template.
<?php echo do_shortcode( '[bbp-display-topic-index show='1']' ); ?>

I think that should work for you.

[Robin W]

If I understand what you want correctly, just set each ‘page’/index as a category and then the appropriate forums as belonging to that category.

Then set up a page for each and use a shortcodes to display the appropriate forums for that page

eg
[bbp-single-forum id=1]
[bbp-single-forum id=2]
[bbp-single-forum id=3]
