2 months not even a hint and you know it is a bug. is_bbpress does not work as advised.
you can use the sidebar that your forum page is displaying – if it is showing one then read the rest of this, if not then come back !
If you want specific items for bbpress and maybe others on other pages, then add https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/
and then use
is_bbpress() as a condition for widgets to be shown and !is_bbpress() for widgets that you don’t want on forum pages, but do on others.
I was just pointing out that its possible that you may need to use another conditional as well if you did create a “forum page”.
So you would possibly need another conditional for a user created “forum page”. If you didn’t already make sure that the “forum page” was set to have the same page slug as the default forums slug in your site set in Settings > Forums.
An example of the additional conditional you would use would be is_page{1} where “1” is the specific page ID of your “forums page”.
if (!is_bbpress() || is_page(1) ) {
You can also use is_page(‘forums’) as well instead.
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/is_page/
I usually do not say use a “forums page” as it is not recommended during setup, but it could be useful to workaround bugs that I think usually happens when using a Genesis theme, but I guess use it until the bug is fixed in bbPress/Genesis. Well if there is still a bug.
I would contact your theme developers support since you have a paid theme, and they can help you better since they understand the code in that specific theme, and only if you really want to dig into the code and modify it like your trying to do, or you can just use a plugin like Widget Logic to use a conditional to hide/display widgets depending on certain conditionals like is_bbpress() and is_page{}.
I am trying to remove that from showing on the forums page and instead show a a login for bbpress.
This forum page you say, is it just the original forum index page at /forums, or is this a page that you inserted the forum index shortcode to create “forum page”??
The is_bbpress() conditional may not work if you went the shortcode in a page route.
Well unless you made sure the pages slug was the same slug as the forum root, but even with that I feel like that odd procedure could cause issues.
I finally got it to go away like this
if (is_bbpress ())
if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘social-icons’ ) || is_active_sidebar( ‘click-here’ ) || is_active_sidebar( ‘split-sidebar-left’ ) || is_active_sidebar( ‘split-sidebar-right’ )) {
but it removes it sitewide
ok, so you need to determine if it is the is_bbpress that is the issue. If you just have the other code does it work – ie is the issue with the other code or the conditional?
thanks. I tried that and it did not work.
I also tried
if (!is_bbpress ())
remove_action ( ‘genesis_after_header’, ‘the_411_extras’, ‘genesis_after_sidebar_widget_area’ );
if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘social-icons’ ) || is_active_sidebar( ‘click-here’ ) || is_active_sidebar( ‘split-sidebar-left’ ) || is_active_sidebar( ‘split-sidebar-right’ )) {
and
if (!is_bbpress (‘forums’))
if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘social-icons’ ) || is_active_sidebar( ‘click-here’ ) || is_active_sidebar( ‘split-sidebar-left’ ) || is_active_sidebar( ‘split-sidebar-right’ )) {
with and without the forums part. nothing seems to remove it.
ok, thanks for confirming.
Without spending considerable time testing, why not just take out that entire section for bbpress (and if needed juts put back the bits you want) eg
//* Hook social icons and click here widget areas
add_action( ‘genesis_after_header’, ‘the_411_extras’, ‘genesis_after_sidebar_widget_area’ );
function the_411_extras() {
if (!is_bbpress {
if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘social-icons’ ) || is_active_sidebar( ‘click-here’ ) || is_active_sidebar( ‘split-sidebar-left’ ) || is_active_sidebar( ‘split-sidebar-right’ )) {
echo ‘<div class=”site-extras”>’;
genesis_widget_area( ‘social-icons’, array(
‘before’ => ‘<div class=”social-icons”>’,
‘after’ => ‘</div>’
) );
genesis_widget_area( ‘click-here’, array(
‘before’ => ‘<div class=”click-here”>’,
‘after’ => ‘</div>’
) );
genesis_widget_area( ‘split-sidebar-left’, array(
‘before’ => ‘<div class=”split-sidebar-left”>’,
‘after’ => ‘</div>’,
) );
genesis_widget_area( ‘split-sidebar-right’, array(
‘before’ => ‘<div class=”split-sidebar-right”>’,
‘after’ => ‘</div>’,
) );
echo ‘</div>’;
}
}
}
I’m also not sure why your add action has two functions
add_action( ‘genesis_after_header’, ‘the_411_extras’, ‘genesis_after_sidebar_widget_area’ );
all the coding I have ever done has one, and then maybe some arguments on priority etc.
so did you try it as that, or as
if (is_bbpress( ‘forums’ ) ) {
is_bbpress doesn’t take arguments
Or another possible pinch point is the Tool’s kits option to remove css from non bbpress pages
the bbp toolkit plugin just dequeues the bbPress default stylesheet if the page is not a bbPress one. Here is the function for that feature.
function bbptoolkit_unqueue_bbp_scripts() {
if( ! is_bbpress() ) {
$bbptoolkit_rem_defstyle = get_option('bbptoolkit-rem-defstyle', false);
if ($bbptoolkit_rem_defstyle) {
wp_dequeue_style('bbp-default');
wp_dequeue_style('bbp-default-rtl');
}
}
}
add_action( 'bbp_enqueue_scripts', 'bbptoolkit_unqueue_bbp_scripts', 15 );
This may not be the conflict as I think robins plugin doesn’t mess with the default stylesheet in bbPress. So it might be something else.
I am working on a theme and need to deque all bbpress scripts and enque my own if I am on forum pages. This is what I used to start with
if( !is_admin() ){
/**
* Replace bbpress style with our own
* @internal
*/
function _thz_action_bbpress_style() {
wp_dequeue_style( 'bbp-default' );
if (is_bbpress()){
wp_enqueue_style( THEME_NAME. '-bbpress' );
}
}
if (function_exists('is_bbpress')){
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', '_thz_action_bbpress_style' );
}
}
issue with this is that is_bbpress() is not recognized on pages that use any bbpress shortcodes like
[bbp-forum-index]
Can someone please provide a working conditional that runs only on forum pages and not throughout the whole site. Thnx!
Hello,
Couldn’t you still use functions.php with this code to restrict it to BBPress.
if ( is_bbPress() ):
Makes since to me.
Thanks.
I followed the steps, but the right sidebar doesn’t show up, the main-sidebar is still vissible.
My code in the functions.php:
function rkk_widgets_init(){
register_sidebar(array(
'id' => 'bbp-sidebar',
'name' => __( 'Forum sidebar', 'rkk' ),
'description' => __( 'Sidebar voor het forum', 'rkk' ),
'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="forum-widget %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
'after_title' => '</h3>'
));
}
add_action('widgets_init', 'rkk_widgets_init');
The code in the sidebar.php:
<?php if (is_active_sidebar('main-sidebar') && !is_bbpress()) : ?>
<div id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
<?php dynamic_sidebar('main-sidebar'); ?>
</div><!-- .widget-area -->
<?php elseif (is_active_sidebar('bbp-sidebar') && is_bbpress()) : ?>
<div id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
<?php dynamic_sidebar('bbp-sidebar'); ?>
</div><!-- .widget-area -->
<?php endif; ?>
In the backend, the forum widget does appear, and I can add Widgets to it. Only on the front-end, on forum pages, he doesn’t show the right sidebar.
just seen this !
https://wordpress.org/plugins/woo-login-redirect/
if you download and unwrap it you’ll see two functions, one the filter above !
Depending on your site it might take a
if (is_bbpress()) $redirect = xxtype statement on line 71
Hi all,
I think I got it worked out together with Otto and Tia over at WPML.
You can have a look at it at those two topics:
https://wpml.org/forums/topic/multiple-site-languages-but-just-a-bbpress-forum-in-english/
https://wpml.org/forums/topic/bbpress-breadcrumbs-how-to-localize-and-point-to-the-right-page/
BTW I hide the language switcher(s) on the topics pages by adding this piece of code in my header file
<?php if (!is_bbpress()) {
do_action('icl_language_selector');
} ?>
and this in my footer.php
<?php if (!is_bbpress()) {
do_action(‘wpml_footer_language_selector’);
} ?>
I hope it helps you as well.
Regards,
Adri
ok, @membershipsite101
This old link talks about using templates
https://optimizepress.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/200815558-OptimizePress-2-bbPress-Total-Mess-Let-s-get-this-fixed-now-
and suggests putting
if (is_bbpress()) { include 'bbpress.php'; exit; }
on top of index.php (for the forum-index) and single.php (for the topics) and then style the bbpress.php in the /themes/optimizePressTheme/ /themes/1/ (or whatever OP2 blog-theme you’re using) to your liking.
If you’re a bit techy, might be worth looking at.
Thanks, Stephen.
Ok, so, Query Monitor is telling me that topic pages are returning true on a bunch of is_s:
is_page()
is_singular()
is_bbpress()
bbp_is_single_topic()
is_buddypress()
bp_is_group()
bp_is_group_forum_topic()
bp_is_group_single()
bp_is_groups_component()
bp_is_single_item()
But, when i put echo is_singular( bbp_get_forum_post_type() ) ? 'yes' : 'no'; exit; on line 255 of bbpress/includes/common/template.php inside bbp_is_single_topic(), I get a white page that says “no”.
For anyone interested this is the fix
This is actually a bbPress issue with the singular.php template which was introduced in WordPress 4.3 but bbPress doesn’t support it yet. It looks like it has been fixed in core already – https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5950 – but the update hasn’t been released yet.
If you add the following code to the top of your index.php for your theme it will provide a temp fix:
// bbPress fix while they update things…
if ( function_exists( ‘is_bbpress’ ) && is_bbpress() ) {
get_template_part( ‘singular’ );
return;
}
Hello there.
I want to use conditionnal tags in order to display some details. The main page (frontpage) of the forum uses a WordPress page but doesn’t keep the content nor the details (SEO details such as meta description).
I want to add some details (content and meta values). I want to make some conditionnal tags and I need to know how I can do.
I checked this forum and Google to know if I can use, with an if, is_bbpress or is_frontpage, but no answers solved my problem.
How can I force anything to be displayed where I want in the main page of the forum? Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Thibaut.
You did try it like this right??
if(is_bbpress() && $args->menu->slug == 'sub_header_menu')
If it still doesn’t work you can try finding the menu location in your theme, which might most likely be in the functions.php file, but it could be different depending on the theme. You would spot by the register nav menu function like what is listed in this page.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_nav_menus
If you have a free theme I could check it out and get the arguments you need.
I guess you can try this code instead to see if it works any. I guess I can can also just check out to see if the custom script file name changed. I am using an older version of Divi 2.4 for testing so it could be a possibility.
You can contact me here if you want me to check it out on your site later.

add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'rkk_reply_threading_divi' );
function rkk_reply_threading_divi() {
if( is_bbpress() && bbp_is_single_topic() ) {
wp_dequeue_script( 'divi-custom-script' );
}
}
When I use this code without the
if(is_bbpress() && $args->theme_location == 'sub-header-menu')
it works but I get the links on both menus. Below is the code I tried to use for the second menu only – the second menu is called Logins – I tried to use both sub-header-menu or logins.
I tried your suggestion with both as well.
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_nav_menu_login_link' );
function my_nav_menu_login_link($menu) {
//uncomment the next line if you only want login on bbpress pages
if(is_bbpress() && $args->theme_location == 'sub-header-menu')
if (is_user_logged_in()) {
//set the $url on the next line to the page you want users to go back to when they logout
$url = '$url = 'http://www.mysite.com/forums';
$url2=wp_logout_url($url) ;
$loginlink = '<li><a title="Logout" href="'.$url2.'">Logout</a></li>';
}
else {
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$user=$current_user->user_login ;
//set $page on the next line = the permalink for your login page
$page=''login' ;
$loginlink = '<li><a href="/'.$page.'/">Login</a></li>';
}
//uncomment out the next lines if you only want login on bbpress pages
}
else {
$loginlink="" ;
}
$menu = $menu . $loginlink;
return $menu;
}
Thank you @robkk It didn’t work, but I only have a basic understanding, so I’m not exactly sure if I put the code in the right place in the file. Here is what my functions.php file looks like with the code you provided.
<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
array('parent-style')
);
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
register_nav_menus( array(
'primary-menu' => __( 'Primary Menu', 'Divi' ),
'profile-menu' => __( 'Profile Menu', 'Divi' ),
'secondary-menu' => __( 'Secondary Menu', 'Divi' ),
'footer-menu' => __( 'Footer Menu', 'Divi' ),
) );
add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'rkk_reply_threading_divi' );
function rkk_reply_threading_divi() {
if( function_exists( 'is_bbpress' ) && bbp_is_single_topic() && bbp_thread_replies() )
{
wp_dequeue_script( 'divi-custom-script' );
}
}
?>
