Nope, first time I hear somebody that cannot delete a forum. Just trying to find a workaround…
I would say: delete some hundreds like this, then try to delete the forum again.
In most of the cases it’s another plugin that is doing strange things (like checking everything that is getting deleted, a security plugin that is doing a lot of checks per deletion, …)
Pascal.
Glad to hear ! If you are missing anything bbPress related, just get back…
Pascal.
Did you also try to switch to a default theme ? (It’s my last idea 🙁 )
Pascal.
Hi Bruce, then unfortunately it might not work. It works for sure on standard bbPress forums.
Pascal.
Hi,
Most of the themes are compatible for bbPress and the ones that are not can be tuned with some CSS.
So I would say, go for a theme you like, install a WordPress in a test environment, get bbPress and play with it !
Pascal.
The SQL I have is to wipe out ALL data from bbPress, so that’s not what you want.
Workaround proposal:
If you go on your dashboard > Replies > All Replies (so /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply), and then select the forum in the dropdown box that says ‘in all forums’ and click filter.
In the screen options, put the ‘number of items’ to e.g. 100.
Delete some screens in this way…
Does that work ?
Then the same with the topics, empty the trash and try to delete the forum.
Pascal.
What exactly do you want to edit ?
That shortcode will show you the index table. If you want to change something in it, have a look at https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/ if you find what you want to change.
Pascal.
Do you have that many topics/replies in those forums ?
I suppose you tried to click on ‘Trash’ under a forum in the ‘All Forums’ list ?
Pascal.
Hmmm, well, as passwords is a WordPress issue (bbPress is just using the WordPress environment in this case), I would propose that you post your question on the WordPress forums and I don’t see where to start.
If you get an answer that solved your issue, please post it back here.
Thanks, Pascal.
After you installed bbPress, 3 new items should appear in your dashboard: Forums, Topics and Replies. That last one shows all the replies.
The standard link is /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply
Pascal.
For the forum list in your sidebar, check the widget: https://codex.bbpress.org/features/widgets/
To edit the ‘index forum page’, create a standard WordPress page and change the slug to ‘forums’. This new page will then be used in stead of the standard list. You can then of course use the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode to display the list of forums.
Pascal.
As bbPress is using WordPress below, it supports the basic ones.
When I type :-) or :-P, it automatically converts them to 🙂 or 😛
So if you have set that option, it comes automatically.
Pascal.
I think more info is needed…
WHERE do you want to display them: in the sidebar, archive forum page, in a single forum, on a page outside bbPress, … ? Please elaborate a bit more.
Pascal.
As said, the basic ones are already in WordPress (Dashboard: Settings > Writing > Formatting).
If you want more, but no full plugin, check the code of the above plugins to see how they did it.
Pascal.
Hi,
If you want custom smilies or stickers, then check for plugins like ‘wp-Monalisa’ or ‘Font Emoticons’, however bbPress can use WordPress’s supplied smilies, see https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Smilies and https://codex.wordpress.org/Emoji
😛 💀 👻 👽 😺 😸 😹 😻 😼 😽 🙀 😿 😾 🙌 👏 👋 👍 👊
Pascal.
Are you talking bbPress or BuddyPress ?
Registered ? Do you mean ‘subscribed’ ?
Pascal.
@cassandra.teo,
If it’s the same problem as mentioned in the title/description, then go ahead !
Pascal.
If you have a standard bbPress installation, then passwords are handled by WordPress.
In most cases there is a (security) plugin that blocks something, so try deactivating other plugins.
Do you get the email back after the request for password reset ?
How far do you get after clicking on the reset password link ?
Pascal.
Are replies lost, or is there SOME text inside a reply that is lost ?
Not happy to see you needed to pay, but happy to see you’re eager to switch 🙂
Pascal.
But… you wanted to limit to some forums, no ?
So let’s say you only want to show 5 topics from forums 10, 11 and 12, then you would put:
[bbp-display-topic-index show='5' forum='10,11,12']
Pascal.
