Sorry, I failed to add the other bit of code you need !!
The last paragraph should have read :
…and then on your page template add this function where you want it.
<?php if(is_front_page() ) { display_latest_topic () ; } ?>
I’ve wrapped it in an if is_front_page statement so it only shows on the frontpage. You night need to use is_home instead depending on how your blog is set up.
If you want it in the body, you should put it within the content div, either before or after the loop depending if you want it at the of or bottom of the page. You may need to play a bit !
If any of that isn’t clear, do come back, but let me know what theme you’re using as well
1. Turning of all plugins would disable those which support custom post types, such as books and films, which are currently used on the site.
2. It would also endanger the site’s security and expose it to hackers.
3. This is all for the benefit of a plugin which I have not been able to test.
4. All would be well if the site could be put into maintenance mode while plugins are disabled, or if I could work on a local copy. But I know nothing about these things. I see a number of maintenance mode plugins: can you recommend one?
ok, so drop the following into your functions file
// Display just latest topic
function display_latest_topic() {
$topics_query = array(
'post_type' => bbp_get_topic_post_type(),
'post_parent' => $settings['parent_forum'],
'posts_per_page' => '1',
'post_status' => array( bbp_get_public_status_id(), bbp_get_closed_status_id() ),
'ignore_sticky_posts' => true,
'no_found_rows' => true,
'order' => 'DESC'
);
$lt_query = new WP_Query( $topics_query );
while ( $lt_query->have_posts() ) {
$lt_query->the_post();
$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $lt_query->post->ID );
?>
<h2> Latest topic </h2>
<h3> <a href="<?php bbp_reply_url(); ?>" class="bbp-reply-permalink"><?php bbp_topic_title($topic_id); ?></a></h3>
<div id="bbpress-forums">
<div id="post-<?php bbp_reply_id(); ?>" class="bbp-reply-header">
<div class="bbp-meta">
<span class="bbp-reply-post-date"><?php bbp_reply_post_date(); ?></span>
<a href="<?php bbp_reply_url(); ?>" class="bbp-reply-permalink">#<?php bbp_reply_id($topic_id); ?></a>
</div><!-- .bbp-meta -->
</div><!-- #post-<?php bbp_reply_id(); ?> -->
<div <?php bbp_reply_class(); ?>>
<div class="bbp-reply-author">
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'post_id' => $topic_id, 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => true ) ); ?>
</div><!-- .bbp-reply-author -->
<div class="bbp-reply-content">
<?php bbp_reply_content(); ?>
</div><!-- .bbp-reply-content -->
</div><!-- .reply -->
</div><!--div bbpress-forums--->
<?php
} }
and then on your page template add this function where you want it. I’ve wrapped it in an if is_front_page statement so it only shows on the frontpage. You night need to use is_home instead depending on how your blog is set up.
If you want it in the body, you should put it within the content div, either before or after the loop depending if you want it at the of or bottom of the page. You may need to play a bit !
Hello Robin,
I’m missing this toolbar:
it’s not available on my site:
I have the newest versions of WordPress and bbPress and have done this steps to fix this problem but nothing happened:
I have deleted every JavaScript and tested it. Nothing!
I deleted the code of the function.php. Nothing!
I deactivated every plug-in. Nothing!
…and the CSS can’t be the fault because the toolbar is not disabled. It’s not there.
I opened my forum for guests and created a test forum. Now you can take a look on it: http://plusthemes.de/forum/test
Thank you so much for your answer. I try to give as much information as possible. 🙂
You are right. Having the same requirement, I was facing the same issue (and you will discover very soon that it is not the only one !).
As far as I understand, the integration between bbPress and BuddyPress is not fully completed. In bbPress, the user capabilities based on their role in the forums are only mapped to WP capabilities. (see for example the function bbp_current_user_can_publish_replies() or bbp_current_user_can_access_create_reply_form() (invoqued in the form-reply.php part of the bbPress theme) in bbpress/includes/users/template.php .
My way to overcome this issue is to add my own filter on the ‘bbp_current_user_can_publish_replies’ filter and to check in this function if the current_user is a member of the group associated with the root_forum (the one associated with the group) of the topic currently displayed.
below my function:
function my_bbp_current_user_can_publish_replies($input)
{
$topic_id = bbp_topic_id();
$root_forum = alsb_get_post_root_forum($topic_id);
$groups_id = bbp_get_forum_group_ids($root_forum);
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
if (groups_is_user_admin( $user_id, $groups_id[0])
|| groups_is_user_mod ($user_id, $groups_id[0])
|| groups_is_user_member ($user_id, $groups_id[0]) )
return true;
else return false;
}
whith the help function
function alsb_get_post_root_forum($post_id)
{
$post = get_post($post_id);
do
{
$post = get_post($post->post_parent);
}while ($post->post_parent != 0);
return $post->ID;
}
another way is perhaps to setup a filter on the ‘user_has_cap’ WP filter, but I did not test it.
good luck for your integration !
@robin-w
the latest topic and content. I dont need toshow replies. Just the last thread’s title and content. Thanks
Do you want :
just the latest reply (or topic is no replies)
The title or all the content?
then check for a plugin or theme conflict
Check other plugins
Check that no other plugins are affecting this.
Turn off all other plugins, and see if that fixes the problem. If the problem is resolved, add back one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.
Check themes
If plugins are not the cause, the it may be a theme issue. Switch to a default theme, such as twentytwelve, and test.
ok, just tested and this code seems to work
function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role1'] = array(
'name' => 'name 1',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role2'] = array(
'name' => 'name 2',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role3'] = array(
'name' => 'name 3',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() ) // the same capabilities as keymaster
);
return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );
So this adds 3 roles, you/your experts can duplicate the code and add more or remove unnecessary.
Basically you’ll just need to
1. tell the what to put as the names – currently the new roles are name 1, Name2 and name 3 (where it says ‘name’ => ‘name 1’ , so they’ll just overwrite that with what you want.
2. for each what capability. You’ll see the first two have the code bbp_get_participant_role() so that sets them to participant and the last sets to keymaster using bbp_get_keymaster_role() . You can guess that you just change the words for other roles such as spectator, or moderator.
They need to add this to your theme’s functions file.
please come back if any of this is not clear
I don’t like giving no answers so in between I have a little look, and found an answer from someone else on your second question ie adding roles with existing capabilities.
I just need to test it, and I’ll be back.
in the meantime if I said “add this code to your functions file” would you know what I mean?
I think you have got some display issues
under IE, Firefox and Chrome (haven’t tested others) at 100% the submit buttons disappears. At 75% you see it. Do a zoom in and out to see the effect.
Fix that and the checkbox will probably appear !
Do you want :
just the latest reply (or topic is no replies)
The title or all the body?
Do you want it in the body or in a sidebar?
how can i show letest thred (only last one) on my home page template. http://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ i tried all this short cods in this page but nothing worked.
@surangaudimedia
have you :

Hi..
please help me to get bbpress latest post.’[bbp-single-view]‘ this shortcode are not working. how I get bbpress latest post to my home page.
The submit button is on the lower right. I need to change the color so that it stands out more. But yep, I’m able to fill out a new topic with content and hit submit.
Example:
http://www.contentsmartslab.com/membersite/forums/topic/testing/
I just can’t subscribe to the thread. The checkbox still isn’t working.
the url reads
http://domain.com/whatever-your-shortcode-page-is-called/page/2/
So presume your page is called “topics”
The code works – I’ve just retested it on twentyten site and pagination and subsequent pages were fine, so suggest you try
Check other plugins

Check themes
If plugins are not the cause, the it may be a theme issue. Switch to a default theme, such as twentytwelve, and test.
and then come back if you need further help.
Just check that it is not plugin related first

Then to confirm it is a theme problem..
Check themes
If plugins are not the cause, the it may be a theme issue. Switch to a default theme, such as twentytwelve, and test.
Come back and let us know if you fixed, or for more help
If it works for others i must be making some mistake. Tried with default theme same problem. It is some test development with many, many WP and Bbpress plugins. Could be that some of them is blocking.
I’m setting up/testing bbPress on this URL:
http://www.contentsmartslab.com/membersite/forums/forum/content-smarts/
I can’t seem to check the box that says “notify me of follow-up replies via email.” I have the subscribe option properly setup on the back-end. I’m wondering if I messed up the input CSS somewhere here, or something else. Any thoughts?
@stagger-lee I just tested the code from https://codex.bbpress.org/enable-visual-editor/ and it worked fine.
You could also try the following as a plugin, it has options to enable the full editor, though it sounds like you don’t want this so don’t enable it.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/
I am using WAMP to make a test bed for my site and I am trying to install bbPress on my locally hosted site.
However, when I install the plugin, it installs fine, but the forum pages give a 404…
How do I go about doing this?
ok, so if you’re not miles down the redesign, I’d copy across your current site and then mod from there
see
https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/
for a lot of detail on this.
Sorry for my late reply.
@robin-w
I have read the site you gave me but I can’t find a solution for my problem.
@lynqoid
I have deleted every JavaScript and tested it. Nothing!
I deleted the code of the function.php. Nothing!
I deactivated every plug-in. Nothing!
…and the CSS can’t be the fault because the toolbar is not disabled. It’s not there.
I don’t know what the problem could be. I hope someone can help me.
I don’t get to a forum on any of those links, presume you are still testing, so can’t answer the 401 message.
: http://propertycrowdz.com/forums/forum/rentals/ is the way bbPress shows the url.
There is some logic behind it, but it does annoy some people
The general index comes up as mysite.com/forums
but an individual forum is a forum called rentals hence forum/rentals that belongs to the forums index, hence forums/forum/rentals.
You can turn this off – Dashboard>settings>forums go to forum root slug and uncheck the forum prefix.
Below that you can change the names, so for instance you can have “support” instead of forums if you want.
Come back if you still got a 401 error, and I’ll take a look.
