    You can use shortcodes instead

    Shortcodes

    There are also additional ones with filters in

    bbp style pack

    once activated go to

    dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes

    I’d suggest you carry on with their support as they seem to be trying to help you, but come back if you need to.

    sorry, I’ve just seen that you have already posted there !

    @robin-w

    Thanks for that really useful and detailed post.

    My working theory would be that turnkey bbpress is adding something to the header – if another theme shows it as a lock, then that is the most likely, but I may well be incorrect !

    Are you using the version on wordpress? https://wordpress.org/plugins/weaver-for-bbpress/

    or where did you get it from?

    It might be worth you posting the issue on

    Turnkey bbPress by WeaverTheme

    to see if they can help.

    I am not a bbpress author, just a volunteer who tries to help here, but please do come back and I’ll see if I can help further

    not one I’ve seen before, it could be a theme or plugin issue

    Themes

    As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

    Plugins

    If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

    If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

    Health Check & Troubleshooting

    Then come back

    I see that you posted this issue before, and it was fixed by the changes above

    Profile link broken

    so you will need to work out what has changed between when the changes above fixed it and now

    You are using the Divi theme (or a child theme of this theme) which has an issue whereby bbpress Profiles and bbpress search may not work properly

    If you have issues with either of these, please change the following Divi theme settings:

    1. In Dashboard> Divi> Theme options > Builder > Advanced > Static CSS File Generation > Clear

    2. In Dashboard> Divi> > Theme Options > Performance> Dynamic CSS option> set to Disabled

    3. THEN critically you need to clear any server side caching AND clear your browser cache.

    Server side will depend on your host, and/or any caching plugins you have installed

    For your browser – see this helpful article How to clear browser cache

    Hey thanks for helping translate my plugin, I really appreciate it.

    If you need further help, do come back 🙂

    If you want to hide it completely, then add this to the custom css tab of my style pack plugin

    .moderationlinks-flag {
        display: none ;
    }

    As I said, I did not write that particular plugin element, I just incorporated it into my plugin to help those using it, and I agree the actual wording does not mean a lot, it took me a while to work it out!!

    But after a bit of testing, essentially it sets a switch for a user to be either an approved user or an unapproved user. Then if in:

    dashboard>forums>Moderation Options>hold for moderation you have set custom, then you can set ‘unapproved users posting’, ‘Unapproved users posting links’ and ‘Unapproved users posting below the English character threshold’ so that unapproved users posting in those categories get held for moderation.

    so make a user ‘unapproved’ you set the ‘add user moderation flag’ and then all posts by that user come under the settings above.

    I agree the wording is terrible, but now I have described what it does, you should be able to come up with some better words.

    I would also agree if you said that those words should not appear unless you have set the custom above, but that is beyond my current plans to do.

    to change the wording go to

    dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>transaltions and activate the translation option
    then put the original working in the left hand column and your desired in the right.

    Hi,

    I am the author of bbp-style-pack.

    This part of the code is from a moderation plugin that I rescued from being closed, and i did enough to get it working in my plugin, so I do not have full knowledge of every feature.

    Can you tell me exactly where and when you see this text?

    ok, so can you post the line of code code you are using to call that action please, or confirm that you are not using any reassign field in that call

    Presuming that you want to delete the user and any comments made in wordpress as well, then

    dashboard>users>select the user and press delete

    You will then be given the option to delete all content and the user.

    hidden topics are typically ones that have been marked as spam, so they remain linked to their u, but are not shown to anyone apart from keymasters and moderators.

    This allows a moderator to later decide that they are not spam and unspam them, and make them visible, or if they wish to delete the topic, or just leave it hidden

    Install this additional plugin

    Private groups

    This is a simple plugin in principle, but can take a bit of time to understand.

    So FIRST in dashboard>settings>bbp private groups> select the help tab, and take some time to understand how this plugin works !!

    Then…

    1. go to dashboard>settings>bbp private groups> and select ‘group name settings’ – set group 1 to a name of your choice, say ‘topics only’

    2. go to dashboard>settings>bbp private groups> and select ‘topic settings’ – click to activate topic settings and save.

    3. go to dashboard>settings>bbp private groups> and select ‘assign groups to roles’ – tick ‘Add group on first or no-group login’ AND set the role ‘subscriber’ to the group 1 name you set in step 1. If you want other roles to only be able to post topics, set these as well. click save.

    4. go to dashboard>forums and select the forum you want this to apply to and click ‘edit’ You will see a new box called ‘Forum groups’ Click group 1 and them click update on the right hand side.

    5. You will then see topic permissions for this group. select ‘Create/edit topics’

    So then the forum uses group 1 permissions which only allow the creation of topics, and subscriber users are in group 1, so that is all they are able to do.

    You may need to adjust forum visibility in the plugin settings and non logged-in isers depending on how you forum works.
