Inserting text in forum “header”

Published on March 5th, 2017 by fastk9dad

Background: I have my forum Subscribe link on the right side of the header using float:right, I am also running Pencil Unread plugin and have enabled the “Mark all as read” option and also used float:right to prevent it from blending in with the breadcrumbs however now “mark all as read” and “subscribe” are getting up close and personal like this:

Mark all as readSubscribe

Ideally I would like to insert a pipe and a couple of spaces between them to follow suit with how the topics page is formatted like this:

Mark all as read | Subscribe

I have searched the forums high and low and haven’t really come up with an answer. I tried looking for the “bbp_template_before_topics_loop” code figuring I could add it to my child theme and modify it at will but turned up empty.

So what is the best way to accomplish this?

Published on March 5th, 2017 by theredeclipse

Hi, I making own theme and now looking for a solution to separate username from avatar and role output of bbp_reply_author_link in regrads of customization. In documentation I found way to disable showing a role, but didn’t find anything about avatar and username. Can someone to help?

Converting topics/replies to posts/comments using xml exporter/importer

Published on March 5th, 2017 by igirisjin

I want to convert my bbpress forum to wordpress type posts. There are older posts about plugins for this but seems like they are not working now.

So… I tried exporting the topics and (separately the) replies using the xml exporter. I did a search and replace on the whole file for types [topics] _topics_ and replaced with [post] and _post_
(well I think they were the replacements as afterwards I tried several others for the replies).

Anyway, this worked when importing the topics as posts into wordpress – I was very happy with that. Then I though it would be great if I could also get the topic replies converted to post comments. I tried several replacement tags (changing reply to comment, comments …) but the only one to get imported was changing [reply] to [post].
It imported but did not add as a thread of comments but each one as a new post “RE: Topic title”.

Is there any way I can use the export/import function to get my topics and replies over to a blog style post with comments?
Or a way of editing the xml file to import correctly and add the replies as comments to the original post?

I was almost there but fell at the last fence.

2 User Names with one Role Capability

Published on March 5th, 2017 by Kalusha

Hello,

I need 2 User Names which have the same capabilitys. I have try it with this:

add_filter( ‘bbp_get_dynamic_roles’, ‘ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names’ );

function ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names() {
return array(

// Participant
bbp_get_participant_role() => array(
‘name’ => ‘Standard User’,
‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
),

// Spectator
bbp_get_spectator_role() => array(
‘name’ => ‘–>Premium User<–‘,
‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
)
);
}

Now I can swith between “Standard User” and “Premium User” which is perfect, but he Premium User can not write any reply or other things. So they have not the same capaboility.

Have anybody an idea where the mistake is?

Which Member Plugin works good with WordPress and bbPress? All I try were not good 🙁

Having previously allowed guest posting I’m now considering converting all anonymous users to a bucket user. Can this be done? And if so how?

Thanks!

Transferring my forum to new website

Published on March 2nd, 2017 by corydh

Hi guys,

we’ve currently setup a forum for clients membership website. It’s a forum dedicated to their active paying members managed by memberium.

Anyways, at the time it’s setup the client is now wanting to setup a NEW redesigned membership website from scratch. So new theme, new wordpress install, same members, etc etc.

My question is, if they start their forum and have their members posting in it, can it THEN be transferred into the NEW membership website and people can continue using the forum like normal in the new website.

The new website will be built while the current one is live and will be swapped over once ready.

Thanks! 🙂

Recent Topics List Filtered by Forum

Published on March 2nd, 2017 by dunkydoodle

I have 3 separate forums on my site. I’d like the sidebar to show relevant info for each forum rather than all forums. So, recent topics would list topics associated with one forum, etc, etc. I’m using sidebar widgets, and I did notice that in the recent topics widget you can enter an ID for a specific forum, but then information for that one forum would present on all forums, so I need a more dynamic capability – a way of filtering topics by forum ID ideally.

thanks!

Forum Formatting/Title Field Disabled

Published on March 2nd, 2017 by courtneycap

When viewing the Forum page, the header and body are not formatted correctly. See below:

http://prntscr.com/ef82de

I’ve tried deactivating all plugins, but that does not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, the title field is disabled, and I am unable to click and enter text for the topic title. I have also tried deactivating all plugins but that did not work for this either.
