Just written this – should work
add_filter ('bbp_current_user_can_access_create_reply_form' , 'rew_limit_replies') ;
function rew_limit_replies ($retval) {
//set limit
$limit = 5 ;
//get replies for today
$user_id = get_current_user_id() ;
$reply=bbp_get_reply_post_type() ;
$today = getdate();
$args = array(
'post_type'=> $reply,
'order' => 'ASC',
'orderby' => 'ID',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_author' => $user_id,
'date_query' => array(
array(
'year' => $today['year'],
'month' => $today['mon'],
'day' => $today['mday'],
),
),
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
$count = $the_query->found_posts;
if ($count>=$limit) $retval = 0 ;
return $retval ;
}
Just amend the line ‘$limit = 5 ;’ to whatever number you want
Put this in your child theme’s function file –
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
or use
Code Snippets
you could add this to change the wording
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
if ( $translated_text == 'You cannot reply to this topic.' ) {
//set limit
$limit = 5 ;
//get replies for today
$user_id = get_current_user_id() ;
$reply=bbp_get_reply_post_type() ;
$today = getdate();
$args = array(
'post_type'=> $reply,
'order' => 'ASC',
'orderby' => 'ID',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_author' => $user_id,
'date_query' => array(
array(
'year' => $today['year'],
'month' => $today['mon'],
'day' => $today['mday'],
),
),
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
$count = $the_query->found_posts;
if ($count>=$limit) $translated_text = 'You have exceeded the number of replies you can post in a day' ;
}
return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );
@robin-w I have added this code in the child theme but it’s not working…
here is the complete code…kindly check and let me know..it’s correct?
<?php
// Exit if accessed directly
if ( !defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
// BEGIN ENQUEUE PARENT ACTION
// AUTO GENERATED - Do not modify or remove comment markers above or below:
if ( !function_exists( 'chld_thm_cfg_locale_css' ) ):
function chld_thm_cfg_locale_css( $uri ){
if ( empty( $uri ) && is_rtl() && file_exists( get_template_directory() . '/rtl.css' ) )
$uri = get_template_directory_uri() . '/rtl.css';
return $uri;
}
endif;
add_filter( 'locale_stylesheet_uri', 'chld_thm_cfg_locale_css' );
if ( !function_exists( 'chld_thm_cfg_parent_css' ) ):
function chld_thm_cfg_parent_css() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'chld_thm_cfg_parent', trailingslashit( get_template_directory_uri() ) . 'style.css', array( 'bbp-default','fontawesome','slick','disputo-bootstrap' ) );
}
endif;
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'chld_thm_cfg_parent_css', 10 );
// END ENQUEUE PARENT ACTION
add_filter ('bbp_current_user_can_access_create_reply_form' , 'rew_limit_replies') ;
function rew_limit_replies ($retval) {
//set limit
$limit = 2 ;
//get replies for today
$user_id = get_current_user_id() ;
$reply=bbp_get_reply_post_type() ;
$today = getdate();
$args = array(
'post_type'=> $reply,
'order' => 'ASC',
'orderby' => 'ID',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_author' => $user_id,
'date_query' => array(
array(
'year' => $today['year'],
'month' => $today['mon'],
'day' => $today['mday'],
),
),
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
$count = $the_query->found_posts;
if ($count>=$limit) $retval = 0 ;
return $retval ;
}
I have added this code in function.php…in child theme..but didn’t work at that time
looks ok, sorry can’t say why it is not working.
Hi
1) Does this function limits only replies or also new topics ?
2) I need something similar but for unapproved users :
how to limit the number of posts until at least one gets approved
for instance : 3 posts limit (new topic or reply) until at least one gets approved
so that unapproved user is unable to post 1000 posts
thanks
1. only replies
2. bespoke code needed
@robin-w How to limit the Number of replies a user can make per minute? Thank you
I tried, but cannot get minutes to work. I can limit per hour
