Hey @robkk! I am trying to do this – install bbpress on my subdomain of my multisite setup, but it’s not going well.
I have buddypress network enabled and bbpress enabled only on the subdomain. When I’m logged into my buddypress account and I try to access my subdomain where my forums are hosted I am redirected to the buddypress registration page. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Can you please help with some suggestions? I’ve read a bunch of things but I can’t understand enough to apply and see what my errors could be in my settings. Thank you.
With WP you have the option of using multisite to create other sites off of the same WP installation. I run buddypress on my main site and I would like to run my forum(bbpress) on my subsite. From what I thought I understood they should be site-wide so the need for registering for both buddypress and bbpress should not be occurring. But then again, I don’t know what I’m doing. Do you have a multisite setup?
Thank you for your feedback @danielchindea.
Great photos on your site!
Thank you so much. Would you know how I could increase the character length? I’ve seen a couple other topics about this but I’m not clear how to achieve it.
You can try the nav menu roles plugin. It works well as long as it’s compatible with your theme.
Thanks for your feedback @peter-hamilton. The link you provided gets me an error page though. You might wanna check that out…
Well…I’ve run into a problem. I have this code that removed the word “ago” from the freshness layout:
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
if ( $translated_text == '%s ago') {
$translated_text = '%s';
}
return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );
The only place I want to include the word “ago” is on the top of the forum within the forum data block. Right now it reads: This forum contains x topics, and x replies, and was last updated by x 4 minutes.
When I use the code above and manually add the word ago at the end of the line, I get an error because it was already declared. Is there a way around this? Thank you.
Thank you so much @robin-w, you’ve helped me several times. I appreciate it.
Thank you so much! This worked perfectly.
Would you now how to abbreviate the verbiage? I’d prefer x hrs, x mins if possible. Just thought I’d ask. Thank you again.
Can someone please help to explain this fix? It’s all Greek to me.
I’ve added the corresponding folders into my child theme and have uploaded the fix but it hasn’t changed anything in my activity page. I appreciate any support. Thank you.
Thanks @robkk, my bigger interest is having the reply-to author populate in the text box. That would be awesome so the notifications can be triggered. I am leery about posting jobs on there, I get a ton of spam when I have done so in the past.
Are you de-selecting the box to keep a log of the edit?
Sorry I’m no bbpress wiz, just a thought.
Maybe I wasn’t clear. Ideally, notifications should be sent to users for all replies to their started posts/replies. Having all notifications sent to the 1st level user might seem excessive and unnecessary.
The function of threaded replies is to offer a discussion between other users that may/may not be related to the topic they are responding to. With that being said, notifications would seem to offer better usability and increase interaction.
How about I hire you? 🙂
Hi, my correction. It does work. I’m not sure why it wasn’t before…maybe my cache needed to be cleared. Thank you very much for your help with this.
Thank you for your response. I was using a profile enhancer plugin that I decided to disable. Things are working as they should now.
It’s old but it works! I was afraid to try it out because I had seen other members who had significant issues after enabling. Since my site is functioning just fine, I have to assume their troubles were plugin/theme related. Thank you.
I no longer needed this functionality. I was using a profile enhancer plugin that I ended up disabling. Everything works as expected now. Thank you.
Hi Robin, thank you for your response. I quickly figured out that importing/exporting is not an easy task at all and that many have had similar results. I’ve decided to just scratch the forum and start fresh. Thankfully it was running off of a beta site that had only been running for a week.
But anywho, if you’re interested, please have a look, http://www.soulsequel.com
Hello, thank you for your response. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get this to work. 🙁
Hi, you’ve done a very nice job with your site! Since you seem like you’ve figured a lot out I thought I would ask about a block/ignore feature. I don’t believe it’s in the bbpress package, would this be something you could help with? Thank you.
Were you able to find a solution to this? Thanks!
