It’s a restricted forum.

There is a pretty high chance that whatever plugin you are using to restrict forum access is the problem, it is stopping ‘everyone’ from seeing your replies, yourself included.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 12 months ago]

Is your SMF database on the same database server that your WordPress instalation is setup with?

If not your webhost should have some docs on how to export/backup your database.

Then follow the similar docs on your new webhost to import the database if needed.

Then follow the basic steps outlined here https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/

There are also a couple of topics here on bbPress.org relating to SMF that you should be able to find pretty quickly.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 12 months ago]

It should be in your theme folder, though maybe this is what you need and/or are you using it?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/

It might also be worth posting on that plugins support forum if you are.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 12 months ago]

Not a solution but go to Admin > Tools > Export and export your replies.

These files will be in XML format, open each one up in your favorite text editor and check what is or isn’t there.

Now, are you actually missing content that should actually be there or are is it just the replies are not being shown on the site?

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 12 months ago]

post_author = 0

In a bbPress context is an ‘Anonymous User’, check that you don’t have this enabled.

Also check what WordPress settings are in /wp-admin/options-discussion.php

Ack! Disabled all plugins and still getting lots of dummy revisions.

Is this with bbPress disabled?

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 12 months ago]

As I noted in the Trac ticket:

This is actually by design, when reply threading is activated pagination is disabled.

[@netweb Keymaster 12 years ago]

Done https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2516

Probably need to add some more sample topics with ‘Lorem Ipsum’ sample text and formatting next.

[@netweb Keymaster 12 years ago]

Thanks for the report, this most likely is a bbPress issue, would you be kind enough to create a ticket on Trac for this and we’ll take a closer look. 🙂

@hulajoe I posted a link to supposed update here. (You have to contact them to get the update, it’s not available publicly)

[@netweb Keymaster 12 years ago]

the admin icons for forums, topics and replies are missing. May you please check it? I’m using the latest wordpress.

Try clearing your browser cache/history or hard refresh

[@netweb Keymaster 12 years ago]

Ok, I’m out of options for you with bbPress.

Maybe take a look at some of the ‘membership’ plugins such as ‘Members’ by Justin Tadlock or S2Member. I think these ‘can’ do what you are after but have a look around and see what you can find.

[@netweb Keymaster 12 years ago]

I had a look at the data in both your previous posts and I can only find SELECT SQL statements, there are no INSERT INTO or UPDATE SQL statements that cause the creation or updates into the database so these don’t help us much, not sure what/where we should be looking for more help here.

There is the following plugin by one of the WordPress core devs @dd32 https://wordpress.org/plugins/revision-control/

I have sent him an email asking for some tips on what else we should be looking for.

[@netweb Keymaster 12 years ago]

It looks like you have a page at http://www.ladiesbalance.com/forums/

When viewing a topic or forum eg:
http://www.ladiesbalance.com/forum/forums/chat-beauty/
http://www.ladiesbalance.com/forum/topic/this-is-a-test/

The breadcrumb link is pointing to /forum

It looks like you have your ‘Forums Prefix’ and ‘Single Forum Slugs’ around the wrong way.

Use forums as your forum prefix (the same as your forums page)

Use forum as the single forum slug.

[@netweb Keymaster 12 years ago]

I see it is partially working now with your topics set to 5 per page (via bit.ly/19YsU9K)

As soon as I navigate to page 2 things go horribly wrong though. Yet pages 3 – 11 also work as expected.

It appears that the topic hxxp://forum.trocandofraldas.com.br/topico/tentando-engravidar/

By author hxxp://forum.trocandofraldas.com.br/users/izabllenicole-moreiraguimaraes-7/

Is the cause of the issue, why I do not know but as soon as you try to view that topic everything goes wrong or by trying to view that topic in the authors profile.

Can you move that topic to another forum and set your pagination back to 15 topics per page and see if that forum now works as expected.

I would also via the backend have a good look at that topic content to make sure there is no incorrect HTML markup that would be causing rendering issues.

[@netweb Keymaster 12 years ago]

I had a quick look on Pagelines forums but as I don’t have an account this was limited. I saw a couple of your posts there and I’d suggest you post another question on how to get it working with bbPress.

[@netweb Keymaster 12 years ago]

That sounds like you have a ‘membership’ plugin for managing your users permissions to access posts/pages/forums etc and is probably blocking access to normal users.

[@netweb Keymaster 12 years ago]

Cool… Yes that would all be CSS changes rather than template changes and are heavily dependant on the styles your current theme is already using as to the end result look and feel.

[@netweb Keymaster 12 years ago]

@wiste What I think/expect is the following:

1. \wp-content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\loop-forums.php
2. \wp-content\themes\mytheme\bbpress\loop-forums.php
3. \wp-content\themes\mychildtheme\bbpress\loop-forums.php

I’ll try to have a closer look at this sometime in the next few days and report back 🙂

[@netweb Keymaster 12 years ago]

Much of this is theme related, we have a ticket in Trac for some microdata additions for breadcrumbs be the actual format for forums, topics & replies doesn’t have an ‘official’ spec so there really isn’t an easy way of supporting scheme.org or microformats with bbPress at this stage.

Your best workaround is to customize your bbPress templates to fit a markup of your choice and this really comes down to how your theme is currently doing this.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2269 “Add rich microdata markup to breadcrumbs”

[@netweb Keymaster 12 years ago]

You would probably be best of making a copy of some of the bbPress templates.

Details on getting started with this are here https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

Then take a look at the content-statistics.php template and add that code with the styling you want to content-archive-forum.php

[@netweb Keymaster 12 years ago]

Thanks for the follow up, your right you probably don’t need the bbpress.php file now.

(I replied to your other topic about the admin replies link.)

[@netweb Keymaster 12 years ago]

Do you have any plugin conflicts?

To try and resolve conflicts with other plugins please disable all your plugins except bbPress to see if the error persists. Re-enable each plugin one at a time and if things break again you should be able to now know which other plugin is causing the conflict.

[@netweb Keymaster 12 years ago]

Most plugins will keep their settings so it is usually quite safe to do so.

[@netweb Keymaster 12 years ago]

You would need to customize your templates. To get started with this follow the steps here to make copies of your templates for use in your theme.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

Then start by taking a look at loop-replies.php

[@netweb Keymaster 12 years ago]

Is this the correct way of using private?

Pretty much 🙂
Private forums can only be seen by users who are registered and logged in.
Hidden forums can only be seen by moderators and keymasters (and logged in).
