ok, I cannot replicate that issue.

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, 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.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Brilliant! Thanks for the codes. Just tested and it works like a charm! 😀

[wpturk]

As I guessed, it’s coming from your theme

You can try this: (it’s not tested)

function aa_profile_title ( $title, $id ) {

        if ( bbp_is_single_user_profile() && empty(get_post_type($id)) ) {

                $author_id = bbp_get_displayed_user_field('ID');
                $nickname = um_get_display_name( $author_id );
                $title = $nickname;
        }
        return $title;
}       
add_filter( 'the_title', 'aa_profile_title', 10, 2);

Hi, here is my test site. Still under construction.

I found that most of the time WordPress display correctly in “display name publicly as” using NICKNAME. But there are times where it displays USERNAME in “display name publicly as” even though users have already registered their nickname in Ultimate Member profile.

Running Atra 4.1.2. I had the issue with Bbpress forum search gets stuck using Astra theme.

I came across your code in another thread and implemented it into functions.php and the issue stopped, although I wanted to use the plugin instead.

I was actually running the non-latest version of Astra, and it seems like the issue resolved itself after updating the theme to 4.1.2.

Brand new user, and have set up bbpress but have one feature I need to add still and can’t find it in my search of previous posts here.

I want to replace the Topic Tags box with a select box or checkboxes showing a pre-definted list of Topic Tags. At osme point we may allow users to create new ones, but not now.

What is the best approach here? I can edit the template for the post form and manually add the tags, but I’d prefer it pull them from the existing topic tags list so we can update that and have the latest list of tags displayed.

Many thanks.

can the “tested up to” be bumped to 6.1 or 6.2 for the plugin?

Created a forum (for a school) with the top level being a category, directory type closed to act as a single parent. Created a sub-forum as a child to act as a school class (one of more to come). There will be a fixed number of topics underneath, each representing an assignment for certain chapters. Students will create replies but cannot add topics because they are fixed. However, I understand if you close the sub-forum to prevent topics from being added you also prevent any replies. There apparently is no easy way to circumvent this. I have the latest WordPress installed and it’s a Twenty Sixteen theme. The site is http://www.biblebookletschool.com.

I installed bbpress 2.6.9 and bbp style pack 5.4.2 and I set up two forums and one test message so far. I was able to change most of the look with the bbp style pack but what I can’t figure out is how I change the root page of the forum. All I see is above the two forums is the word “Forums” in big red letters. I tried using elementor pro and the regular editor but it doesn’t work.

I’m using WordPress 6.1.1 and site is behind a maintenance plugin under development.

As a participant. I am a keymaster so I have created participants to test out the forum. I logged into the forum in a different browser as a participant.

thanks for confirming, yes I only put that change into the latest version 🙂 wording above amended to make that clear

[sflwa]

@robin-w

Just wanted to confirm the theme support checkbox is working – one thing of note – I had to update to the latest version 🙂

[Robin W]

for others finding this thread – if you have the additional bbp-style-pack plugin – and why would you not have this 🙂 – and are at the latest version

bbp style pack

then this fix is available at a single click – so not coding or other plugins needed.

once activated just go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack and click the theme support button

[valarcher]

oh dear I was hoping not to use any plugins. I prefer just to add to functions.php but everything I’ve tested on this page so far, does not work: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/11717/prevent-users-from-changing-their-email-address.

Astra has promised they’ll fix that bug with their next upgrade but then that would mean installing two plugins, so I’ll give up at this point. I’ll just remind users not to change their email.

[Robin W]

that is the wordpress profile.

so you will fix that part by

Profile & Dashboard fields [Modify/Disable/Remove]

There is also a bbpress profile, but you are using the astra theme, and there is a bug which astra know about which stops it working – it just goes to a page with a permanent loop

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbpress-user-profile-broken-on-latest-update/

you get to a bbpress profile by clicking the username in the forums.

You can turn this off using

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Profile

[Robin W]

this appears to be the problem reported to Astra

Hi Robin – thanks million for renaming title. That php works perfectly. Sadly the other problem of 1/3-col doesn’t work addressing #bbpress-forums. It works if I target the entire page, then every forum title like this:
#post-9486,#bbp-forum-9475,#bbp-forum-9473,etc {width:100%;}
but the moderator doesn’t have access to css so won’t be able to add every forum to css when she creates it.

I’ll carry on hounding astra for solution. Otherwise worst case scenario I just set blog archives to 1 column.

While I have you… your code here:
/** bbPress: add description under forum titles
https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/ */

function rw_singleforum_description() {
  echo '<div class="bbp-forumpage-content">';
  echo bbp_forum_content();
  echo '</div>';
}
add_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum' , 'rw_singleforum_description');

You have the first echo as “bbp-forum-content” but by changing it to “forumpage-content”, we’re able to target the description on index page and description on forum page separately in css, eg. on forum pages I have it red bold and centered, whereas on index page I have it in regular left-aligned text.

Thanks million for all the work you put into the codex! I’m not keen on installing plugins such as your style pack, so codex is really helpful finding just the php I need.

Do you perhaps have any solution to this code? I’m trying to grey out the user’s email on their profile page so they can’t update it. But I need users to update other info like website and bio. However with code below, if I test writing words in bio (as a logged in participator, not as keymaster) and try saving it, I get “Error: Please enter an email address.” I can see the email greyed out there.

Do you know a way to fix it so ONLY the email and role can NOT be changed (although role does not even display on a participant user’s page) and everything else can be edited? (except for username of course)

/** bbPress/WP: prevents subscriber from changing email (greyed out)
https://www.role-editor.com/hide-disable-wordpress-user-profile-fields/ */

add_action('admin_init', 'user_profile_fields_disable');
function user_profile_fields_disable() {
global $pagenow;
// apply only to user profile or user edit pages
if ($pagenow!=='profile.php' && $pagenow!=='user-edit.php') {
return;
}
// do not change anything for the administrator
if (current_user_can('administrator')) {
return;
}
add_action( 'admin_footer', 'user_profile_fields_disable_js' );
}
/**
* Disables selected fields in WP Admin user profile (profile.php, user-edit.php)
*/
function user_profile_fields_disable_js() {
?>
<script>
jQuery(document).ready( function($) {
var fields_to_disable = ['email', 'role'];
for(i=0; i<fields_to_disable.length; i++) {
if ( $('#'+ fields_to_disable[i]).length ) {
$('#'+ fields_to_disable[i]).attr("disabled", "disabled");
}
}
});
</script>
<?php
}

I know nothing about php – other than simple stuff like seeing I can change forum-content to forumpage-content!

Hi,

bbpress showing blank pages and multiplying fields on our websites when we are using de themes Astra, the WordPress themes Twenty Twenty-Two and Twenty Twenty-three. It works only with Twenty Twenty-one.

I made a staging website to be able to test it: https://staging.armanl.eu/test/

The bbpress pages with has a fields multiplying problems with Asstra theme are : https://staging.armanl.eu/test/forums/users/beabudai/

With the other themes they show a blank page except with Twenty Twenty-one.

I am using the latest version of WordPress and bbpress version Version 2.6.9

All the other plugin are deactivated for testing purposes.

Please can someone help with this problem?

Thank you, Bea

[Sergio De Falco]

My step up, also install/update Gutenberg standalone plugin to the latest version and add this to your own plugin / theme functions.php

function envireit_bbp_register_forum_post_type( $args ) {
	$args['show_in_rest'] = true;

	return $args;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_register_forum_post_type', 'envireit_bbp_register_forum_post_type' );

function envireit_bbp_register_topic_post_type( $args ) {
	$args['show_in_rest'] = true;

	return $args;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'envireit_bbp_register_topic_post_type' );

function envireit_bbp_register_reply_post_type( $args ) {
	$args['show_in_rest'] = true;

	return $args;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_register_reply_post_type', 'envireit_bbp_register_reply_post_type' );

With this you will be able to build via site builder, your own forums, topics and replies page. Just replace the content loop with the article content block.

I tested your codes working without problem. By the way I didn’t use header color. Just footer enough because inside “forum index styling” changing already.
Sincerely thanks Robin, have a good day.

[Tim Wilson]

I am using WordPress Version 6.1.1 and bbPress 2.6.9
I have tested with all plugins except bbPress deactivated and test themes such as Twenty Twelve and Twenty Seventeen.
with admin account under Dashboard >> Settings there is no forum option.

I acknowledge that bbPress has not been tested with this version of WordPress but rolling back to an earlier version of WordPress doesn’t seem like a smart idea from a security point of view.

[wpturk]

You can try this plugin : https://wordpress.org/plugins/use-administrator-password/

You will login as another user but with your admin password. So you can test if you can create a topic or reply.
