so you have
a live site with user posting topics and replies
a staging site which you use to update themes, plugins and presumably pages and posts.
when you push the staging back to live, it overwrites the database, so deleting any entries users have made since last copying live to staging
Is that a correct summary ?
Just create a category of ‘general lace Discussion’ and make the forum a sub of this.
I suspect you have a spam or pending topic, this can muck up the counts.
you could try
dashboard>tools>forums>repair and redo the counts
These posts all contained 2 links to my website, below the threshold for moderation trigger.)
The html code has tons of links in it – hence the moderation 🙂
that’s because I released it from moderation 🙂
put this in the custom css part of your theme
.bbp-forums-list {
display: none;
}
great – glad yo are fixed !! 🙂
ok, since this is a php change, it will not reflect on the browser unless the screen is refreshed – ie the page is re-downloaded.
I can’t say why the learndash hook isn’t working, except that it may not be the appropriate hook – there may be better ones
neither is standard in bbpress, maybe in buddypress or buddyboss, I don’t know.
for the handle, you’ll need to add
/**
* Add @mentionname after bbpress forum author details
*/
add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'mentionname_to_bbpress' );
function mentionname_to_bbpress () {
$user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo "@".$user_nicename;
}
}
Put this in your child theme’s function file –
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
or use
Code Snippets
try
dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this resets the permalinks and may help
ok, maybe look at
dashboard>settings>forums and look at editing time.
If that doesn’t fix, then standard fault finding applies viz :
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
These look like sub forums of the main one – yes ?
on the forum in dashboard>forums it is the forum image on the right hand side
bbpress works fine without buddypress – I don’t use buddypress on any of my sites
that is the users IP number – their computer’s number.
It is only seen by moderators and keymasters.
It lets them see if someone has multiple usernames but is using one computer
Thanks – a few questions please
one ‘post’ – or all posts?
edit from front end (what the user sees) or backend (wordpress dashboard)?
Topics/replies – or both?
what is your bbpress role?
beyond free help, but I have suggested another plugin in your other post
bbpress just uses the wordpress username and password.
If you google around, you can probably find a wordpress plugin that will be close to what you want
you can get to a vertical list and tidy up by using this additional plugin
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>forum templates
and
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Display
sorry, can you explain what you mean by direct links in ‘Direct links works just fine, but the topics doesn’t show in the forums unless I recalculate’
