Hi, this is a bit of an odd problem, but a forum admin stickied a post in a private forum (clicking “sticky” in the top right, not from wp-admin) and it moved the topic to an unrelated public forum, which is a problem of course because the topic was meant to be private. Sounds like a bug in bbpress, has anyone else come across this?

I suspect that they made the topic ‘super sticky’ which means it appears on every forum.

go to dashboard>topics and find ten topic and edit and check it’s type in the top right and under topic attributes

[ewd910]

Yes it looks like the default behavior is that the “sticky” link on the forum topic super stickies it, based on the super=1 query param I’m seeing. Any way to default it to 0, or do I have to make a custom topic template?

[Robin W]

it is not very clear (I’m not a bbpress author), but the ‘stick (to front)’ is actually 2 links, if you click the ‘stick’ part it makes it sticky, if you click the ‘(to front)’ part it makes it super sticky.

Ah I see, yeah I don’t like that at all, will probably remove it from my template. Thanks as always!

What’s the correct way to override includes/topics/template.php? Seems I have to remove it from there

[Robin W]

example for loop single repy:

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

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

[ewd910]

that works on files even outside of the templates directory? I already override some of the template loops but this seems like a different thing

[Robin W]

Apologies, I didn’t spot that this was not a front end template.

you would amend functions in that template by using filters. Which function do you wish to amend?

[ewd910]

add_filter('bbp_get_topic_stick_link',
    function ($link, $retval, $admin_links) {
        $splitLink = explode('a> <a', $link);
        $link = $splitLink[0] . 'a>';
        return $link;
    }, 10, 3
);

Here’s my solution in case anyone sees this

[Robin W]

glad you are fixed and thanks for posting your solution 🙂
