I'm currently using custom menu manager and wp-members for plugins. The custom menu manager allows me to set which page links show up in the assigned navigation menu (ie: only "about" and "register" are shown on home page the other page links are hidden), but it doesn't recognize whether the user is logged in or not and the hidden page links are not shown after you've logged in still. With wp-members plugin I have the "members" and "project" pages set to block access unless logged in, but this only effects the page access, the nav link for those pages were still showing up in the main navigation until I used the menu manager plugin which hid them totally not conditionally based on log in status which is what I want.

Is there a php block of code to use or plugin you guys recommend that handles nav link access/visibilty based on log in status? I'm at total loss. Please help me. Visit my site mks76.com/wp/

For installing group & sitewide forums:
http://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/3/

1.) We'd like to use the New Site Wide Forums option (vs Forums for Groups). My first question is this an either or scenario or do you have to use the Forums for Groups? I always have a "Use Existing" option for Groups and there is no uninstall button available. When I install the Site Wide and return back to the buddypress forums tab, it still reflects the Groups...

2.) Regardless of the option selected above, I can not get a Forum page to display...I only get 404. Yes. I've created a Test Forum instance and I'm using the "View" option to check it out. 404 error. (it is published and public, I'm logged in as admin)

If I were to try deleting the tables from the database, uninstalling the plugin and manually removing all server side files, would that help to start over? If so, what tables get removed??

Thanks in advance.

Add this to your theme's functions.php:

add_filter( 'get_topic_title', 'strip_the_title_slashes', 20, 2);
function strip_the_title_slashes( $title, $id ) {
	return stripslashes( $title );
}

add_filter( 'get_post_text', 'strip_the_text_slashes', 20, 2);
function strip_the_text_slashes( $text, $id ) {
	return stripslashes( $text );
}

I know it s been a little time these messages were posted and I wonder if you got the answer, I m looking for the exact configuration for hours (and 2 days)...let me know if you solve it.

Thanks a lot.

I found a couple of tutorials on how to do this with the legacy stand alone version of BBPress and have considered just installing the legacy version but am hoping there's a way with the newer plugin version.

What I want to do:
(1) Run WordPress from the root directory and use it as the site blog
(2) Run a forum in a subfolder '/forum' (I assume this will require a second installation of WP with BBPress plugin?)
(3) Both the forum and blog should have integrated registrations/login so if you join or log into one, you're automatically a member of or logged into the other.
(4) Both the forum and blog should be able to share a theme or at least be able to install the same theme on both installations for website consistency.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Thank you

Ultimately I'm back to where I began. I want to continue using the WP top bar but have the edit account option link to bbPress's account page.

No, I am not aware a way to easily keep the admin bar but filter the user link so that it goes to the bbPress profile page instead of your wp-admin user.

Something like this would need to be a custom plugin.

I mentioned various things you can do, without touching virtually any code, that would help keep users from hitting /wp-admin - unfortunately hacking the admin-bar is not one of those things.

Ultimately I'm back to where I began. I want to continue using the WP top bar but have the edit account option link to bbPress's account page.

Except these links would be static, so even if they had logged in that link in the header would still say "login"?

I'm not a coder, so creating dynamic user links in the header area isn't something I can do.

Is there a plugin or code available to implement a dynamic login/user area like what is seen on this site?

Then you would have a link in your site/theme that takes your members to the bbPress profile page where they can edit their profile.

If you disable the admin bar and use login/registrations forms via shortcodes there is really no reason for the users to ever use /wp-admin unless the specifically went to it.

Let me rephrase, for a specific example: in the top WP bar, how can I change the user's "Edit profile" link to use their bbPress profile page?

Shortcodes: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

When someone clicks on "Howdy, Name" they are given the option to "Edit their profile". This takes them to wp-admin rather than their bbPress profile page.

I want to ensure all users except admins are directed to their bbPress profile page.

All that plugin you linked to does is stop users creating content once inside the area I don't want them to visit at all.

This plugin will also help http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-no-admin/

Thanks for anything.

Growing pains with any software are sometimes difficult, for everyone - users and developers. The process of moving bbPress into a WordPress plugin was not without its own. I am confident that the end result with today's iterations is better than the previous, and hopefully your experience coincides with that.
