Thanks again, Robin.

Hello,

Sorry for the delay but I finally I tried your add_moderator_by_id and it seems to work but I cannot test mail notification for the moment and I can’t see the moderator added on the forum list.

But I need to say that in that list, the “-” displayed in moderator column is not there for those I tested with your code…

I will do more test probably next week…

Hello,

not being programmer, I can’t use this as it is but can this be used to help in my case to restore the edit and delete function from the topic top bar menu when using Polylang (FR and EN) ?

I am pushing at Polylang free support too but no luck so far … would be good to have Polylang and bbPress to talk together as being 2 big actors in WordPress…

Sorry if the question seems obvious to you …

Thanks for your help

Eric Collart

Ps: I can provide access to test if useful…

Hello Robin,

I raised the issue with Polylang today as well but no answer yet from there.
I am not using the PRO version.

The http://domain.com/forums/topic/admin-gui/edit/ doesn’t work at all for me but I didn’t try hiding URL language information for the default language.

The problem looks consistent.

Hello Robin,

Thanks a lot for your help

In my case, all forums, topics, responses and keywords are checked in Polylang settings.

Removing the /fr doesn’t solve the problem.

Same problem for me, also using Polylang !

If the admin bar is visible on top, the Edit menu from there brings you in the backend and you can edit the topic.
The link is http://domain.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=9050&action=edit

But the Edit menu from the Subject (admin links) give a 404 error
The link here is http://domain.com/fr/forums/topic/admin-gui/edit/

Very frustrating especially that the top admin bar is not visible for regular forum participants.

Thanks for your help

hello,

huge thanks for your efforts here !!!!

I’ll test your quick & dirty proposal and let you know

Eric Collart

Hello Robin,

do you mean you don’t have the last point reported ?

From Frontend, I can modify from top menu (admin menu) but I cannot use the “Modify” menu visible on the topic (this gives me error “Nothing found here” !

Huge thanks anyway for the time already spent trying to help me !

I can’t use Username Changer as well because WordFence considers this as an attack and login try from non-existing user ! I reported that to WordFence forum.

So I have no solution and workaround for now !

I just found a plugin named Easy Username Updater allowing an admin to change the username and even having a checkbox to send a mail to updated user but user never got the mail. It seems to work on my test site but gave an error when trying to login… Do not use that one !

A second plugin named Username Changer is working without any error and the mail is sent (if selected). This one works like a charm !

I explore this method because all moderators are from my company so I can update and inform them without disturbing customers…

I’ll test that on my production site and let you know the result.

Doing some tests on a fresh WP install (theme Twenty Twenty-one) with only the bbPress plugin gives following results:

I can create topics not assigned to a forum from backend (being super sticky or not) and see them in “All Topics” from backend.
From backend, I can modify those topics
From Frontend, I can modify from top menu (admin menu) but I cannot use the “Modify” menu visible on the topic (this gives me error “Nothing found here” !

So I clearly have a problem caused by one of the other plugin on my production site but it seems bbPress has also a small problem.

Eric Collart
PS: I am OK for any remote control short session to show you the erroneous behavior even on a fresh site.

[ecollart]

I fully agree on your last remark but it was done like that long before I started managing that site !

I want ideally to set 1 to 4 moderators max per forum (all with same @domain.com in their ID)

I’ll check deeper if any way to change/migrate user ID in WordPress but it looks not easy…

Eric Collart

[ecollart]

Well,

I got time this evening (Belgium time).

The problem described here is caused by bbPress; reproduced on a deafault install of WP with only bbPress as plugin.

That’s an annoying one because you cannot change user ID in WordPress and I have 250 accounts.

I hope we can find some solution or workaround …

Eric Collart

[ecollart]

Well,

you are now way too deep for me but I understand bbPress could be causing that…

I will deploy a test WP site with only bbPress and Private group plugin and see how it behaves for my 2 opened questions…

This can take a day or two…

Thanks a lot for support !

Eric Collart

[ecollart]

Thank you too !

Isn’t it now included in latest versions ?

Eric Collart

[ecollart]

Huge thanks again !

I am quite happy it is not a bbPress bug ! It was looking too big to be possible but who knows and you helped me a lot pointing the right (I hope) direction.

Is there any known conflict with those plugins ?

I”ll made more tests and post share result here for all.

Eric Collart

[ecollart]

I agree that I can workaround that problem but that’s annoying…

I can also create but after that, close you navigator or the tab and try to navigate back to that new topic without pasting the URL. If it is not a sticky or a super sticky, you won’t find it anymore what is normal on frontend but abnormal in backend (All Topics).
If you don’t find it, it’s a bbPress bug.

If you can find it back, I could have a problem caused by another plugin like Ultimate Members and/or User Role Editor that we are using.

Thanks a lot for your help because I don’t have another WP site without those plugins so far..

In the backend. No forum is assigned per default when you create a new topic.
I use the backend as admin to create (and preferably manage afterwards) a super sticky topic that is not related to a specific forum but I want to see it on top of each individual forums (this topic explains how to use the forums).

I can create the topic as super sticky and it is visible on the frontend but you cannot find it anymore in the “All Topics” section if you ever want to modify it.
If you try to modify it from the frontend, you get an Error 404 (page not found)

I can share a backend screenshot if you want
