How do I manually add the mark as read/unread links in a certain place on my forum? Is there a certain piece of code or shortcode I can use or something? Because I don’t want it linked to the subscription link. Thank you
]]>Probably seems weird, but I’m wondering if there’s a way to display a user’s “Read” topics in his/her BuddyPress profile?
I see there’s a way to get the read IDs.
public function get_read_ids( $user_id = 0 ) {
$read_ids = (string) get_user_meta( $user_id, '_bbp_mar_read_ids', true );
$read_ids = (array) explode( ',', $read_ids );
$read_ids = array_filter( $read_ids );
return apply_filters( 'bbp_mar_read_ids', (array)$read_ids );
}But I’d like to display a list — and preferably output the total number of read topics.
]]>Hi,
I’ve installed this plugin and see the new “Mark as read/unread” links. But clikcing them does not change anything about the visuals. This is, however, what I expected: A difference in the presentation of read vs unread posts.
The selector (bbp-topic-unread) is there. Is there nothing set as default styling for read/unread posts?
Hi Pippin,
Sorry to ask such a silly question. I didn’t see this in the FAQ or description.
This plugin works flawlessly for new topics.
Does this show new replies to a topic that has already been marked as read? I know that most forums have a button that says something like “show unread content” that will show a user the latest content by activity. Does this plugin work the same way or does it just show when a user post a new topic only?
Thanks for all you do and your help and support.
]]>Hi Pippin,
Is there a way to make it so when a user views a topic they haven’t read, it will automatically mark the topic as “read” for the user?
I like the idea of marking the thread “read” or “unread”, but ideally I think it would work better if my users can click on the “unread post” button and once they actually read the topic, it will mark it as read automatically for them vs having to mark it manually. I’d like them to have the option to mark the topic as “unread” in case they want to go back to read it again.
Thanks for all your great plugins.
]]>Dear Support,
Please, when installing your plugin, bbPress – Mark as Read, I get the message:
“This plugin does not have a valid header”

]]>New installation of bbpress, using the bootstrap template. I see on your FAQ that this means a hook is not enabled in the template.
Given that I’m new to WordPress AND bbpress, can you give me an idea of what hook I should be looking for? And maybe where to look? Is this an edit the functions.php file type of a solution? I can do that.
Not great at writing my own functions, though.
]]>I have just installed this plugin, and any read topics still remain in this list. So effectively it’s displaying a list of every topic in my forum, regardless of “read” or “unread”.
Is this how it is designed to work? Or does my forum have another bug somewhere?

Thank you!
]]>I think your plug in may have been bugged by the recent addition of the ‘Subscribe’ button in BBPress 2.5.3. I can’t make the button reappear despite downloading and re-uploading the plugin.
Unless I need to drop some kind of custom tag in? I don’t remember having had to do that when I initially used this plug in.
Thanks.
]]>Hello,
On a topic page, if the subscribe/unsubscribe is clicked, the mark as read/mark as unread link is duplicated and the second copy is placed at the end, after the subscribe/unsubscribe link and remains there until the mark as read/mark as unread link is clicked.
]]>I’ve googled the snot out of this one:
Do you have a hook in place that can be used to conditionally display things in the theme such as a is_forum_read()?
It would be nice to do..
if(!is_forum_read($id))
{
?> <img src="/readforum.jgp" /> <?php
} else {
?> <img src="/unreadforum.jpg" /> <?php
}I see that the read/unread status is set by CSS classes and I have used this to great effect to really highlight the posts that a user has not read (rather than relying on the user visiting their profile page to find new posts).
The only problem with this is that posts default to unread if the user isn’t logged in. This would be fine if I used the read css class to somehow make the post less visible, but since I am trying to make it more visible, the page looks odd if you have never logged in.
Would it be possible to add code and/or an option to set the CSS only when a user is logged in?

]]>Does this currently support showing the topic as unread if it has unread replies? Is this something that is a possible future feature?

]]>Hello,
First of all I would like to mention that I’m a BBpress noob, zo maybe I have a stupid question that is caused by a setting I made myself.
The issue is the following, I’m using BBpress on our WordPress page and I have embedded your plugin. The mark as read option appears in the topics, but there is no listing of the unread topics. What do I need to do to get a link to this list?
Thank you very much for your help.
Regards,
Nikki

]]>Hi Pippin,
I created a link for members to go directly to their unread posts, but it doesn’t work quite right on all pages. Here’s what I have.
<a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>forums/subscriptions/#bbp-author-unread-topics">
What should it be?

]]>I migrated from an old forum to bbPress, and this plugin is the only one that I could find that mimics most forums’ ability to see unread posts. Now that the plugin is installed, all forum users see the entire forum as unread. I know there is a link for them to mark all as read, but is there any way for me to do this for them across all users?

]]>Wow, this one slipped by me entirely. Thanks so much for making this! Read/unread posts is just about the only feature missing for bbPress 2 to reach feature parity with our legacy BuddyPress forum, which we’re very anxious to upgrade.
First some quick quirks I ran into:
– In the user profile there’s a link that reads “Mark all as topics read”. Shouldn’t it be “Mark all topics as read”?
– There’s no changelog for 0.3
As for features, what I’d love to see is:
– Automatically mark posts as unread when user views them. (I’d much rather be without the “Mark as read” link in post view)
– Optional visual indicator of each post’s read/unread status in post lists, e.g. an icon.
Put simply, what BP Unread Posts does.
