Hi ,

I am using Divi theme, buddypress for user profile and bbpress for forum.

I want to add forum for forntend “moderator” user, where they can create/start new forum. Like users can create New Topic.

I used some code to add forum for forntend, but that’s not worked, as code is for bbpress only.

I already asked bbpress regardinng the issue. They said, as I used buddypress and buddypress profile, asked buddypress for help. https://www.screencast.com/t/89AvqQwHVC

Hi,

In place of current_user_can(‘moderate’) please use bb_current_user_can(‘moderate’)

Thanks

[inderpreet2018]

I replaced current_user_can(‘moderate’) to bb_current_user_can(‘moderate’), but nothing works and gives error on my forum page

[Prashant Singh]

Hi,

Please go with current_user_can. I found that in a link on bbpress I think but that function is no more there.

Hi,

I used “current_user_can” function, but Forum form is not displaying for moderators.

[Prashant Singh]

Hi,

Please use this code:

add_action('bbp_template_after_user_details', 'ps_show_forum_form');

function ps_show_forum_form(){
	if(bbp_is_user_home() && current_user_can('moderate')){
		echo do_shortcode('[bbp-forum-form]');
	}
}

It will echo a form on the profile itself.

Thanks

Hi,

I used the above code as you said. But the same, nothing is showing up

[Prashant Singh]

Ok, got it now.

The above code will show the forum form on bbpress user profile, not BuddyPress.

Please try this code:

add_action('bbp_template_after_user_topics_created', 'ps_show_forum_form');

function ps_show_forum_form(){
	if(bbp_is_user_home() && current_user_can('moderate')){
		echo do_shortcode('[bbp-forum-form]');
	}
}

Thanks

Thanks Parshant, finally something is worked. Above code works and shows under Topics Started tab.

Is there any way to show Forum Form as tab like Topic started and other tabs?

[Prashant Singh]

Hi,

Please replace the previous code with this code if you want a tab and not the previous one:

function ps_profile_forum_creation() {
	if(current_user_can('moderate')){
		global $bp;
      	bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( 
            'name' => 'Create Forum', 
            'slug' => 'create-forum', 
            'screen_function' => 'ps_create_forum_screen', 
            'position' => 200,
            'parent_url'      => bp_loggedin_user_domain() . '/forums/',
            'parent_slug'     => 'forums',
            'default_subnav_slug' => 'create-forum'
      	) );
	}
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'ps_profile_forum_creation' );
 
 
function ps_create_forum_screen() {
    add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'ps_create_forum_screen_content' );
    bp_core_load_template( 'buddypress/members/single/plugins' );
}

function ps_create_forum_screen_content() {
    echo do_shortcode('[bbp-forum-form]');
}

Hopefully, it will help you.
Thanks

Wow! it worked.

Thanks for your help.

[Prashant Singh]

Glad to know that it helped you 🙂

@prashantvatsh thank you for this. My case is a little different. I want to a tab in the buddypress profile menu that shows all the site-wide forums where members can click and add topics or replies. They wont be able to create forum. Basically, I just need what I see in “homepage/forums” to be replicated in homepage/members/username/forums.

Thanks in advance

Thank you so much for your useful helping code.
