I am trying to create a custom user page template in bbpress. I have created a file single-user.php in my child theme. And placed the code from bbpress single-user.php there.

But the urls of the profile and other things are not working. Any idea of what is happening here?

Please help me. I am trying to gain it but not getting it right. Just need the proper guidance from you.

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 7 months ago]

so have you essentially done this

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-user.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-single-user.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

I am in the same situation : i copy/past the content-single-user.php (besides, what is the difference with the user-details.php ?) and edited it .. but i dont know what to do with it (on my profile page i can clic on Profil, favorite, engaements and subscriptions.. but when it comes to “my topics” or “my replies”, i got an error “404 : page not found” . I guess the script lines that tie in with are :

<?php if ( bbp_is_single_user_topics() ) bbp_get_template_part( ‘user’, ‘topics-created’ ); ?>
<?php if ( bbp_is_single_user_replies() ) bbp_get_template_part( ‘user’, ‘replies-created’ ); ?>

What are ‘topics-created’ or ‘replies-created’ ? methods ? templates ? how can i edit it ?

Hi @robin-w,

Thank you for the suggestion. But basically what I am trying to do is, show or adding the bbpress profile information to another page that I have created as an “My Account” page.

The information shows up but links are not taking me to anywhere. Is there something to do with global user ID?

Please help.

@momomoko

bbp_get_template_part( ‘user’, ‘topics-created’ )

will use the template ‘user-topics-created.php’ – basically you put all the words together to make the file (that just how wordpress does it!)

These templates all sit in the same directory as the content-single-user.php file.

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 7 months ago]

@nayanboost – what url do they take you to ?

this (changed) code from my plugin may help you create a link

`$text=__(‘Profile’, ‘bbp-style-pack’) ;
$class=’bsp_button1′ ;
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$user=$current_user->ID ;
echo ‘<a class=”‘.$class.'” href=”‘ . esc_url( bbp_get_user_profile_url( $user) ) . ‘”>’ . $text . ‘</a>’;`

But why when i clic on these 2 links (my replies or topics created) the page is not found ? i have tried to create 2 pages that i named user-topics-created and user-replies-created, without success 🙁

@momomoko sorry only so much I can do for free – this is not a bug in bbpress or an easy ‘how to’ – you’ll need to work it out

[@momomoko Participant 4 years, 7 months ago]

Ok Robin, i will try to understand how . I think that the theme i choosed for my website (oceanWP) is not the best idea i got : but now, it is too late to change .

Thank you for your time

finally i fixed it by changing the permalink settings to “simple” (it was on customed %postname%) … now i have new issue : cannot send private messages to other members

[@momomoko Participant 4 years, 7 months ago]

I found the way to fix this url issue : actually it was just an accent reason !!! i went to seetings->forums .. in there go to the bottom at “custom endings of URL of the profil user page” and just make sure, in the form fields, that u dont use any accent like in french (my current language!) : example for topics created fill it with sujet “demarre” (not démarré) .

hope it will help others 😉
