ok, so can you (as a test) take out the Forum no.s from all fields in the settings, so we eliminate forum restrictions from the display part
ok are you ok with browser developer tools – if so take a look and see if the words and in the html, but just not displaying.
found and fixed bug, will be in the next release, I’ll hold for a day to see if I need to fix your display issue above as well
ok, so have you tried all 3 settings?
Show fields above the topic
Show fields above the topic content
Show fields below the topic content
and do any show?
not sure what you mean – this is not you explaining it badly, just that words are not the best medium.
Any chance of an image with an X where you want the fields?
You thoughts are essentially correct, bbpress just uses wp_posts.
So yes if you migrate dev to live you will overwrite the forum, the same is true for comments and anything else that uses the posts table, which is quite a few other plugins you might use later. lots of other tables used by wp plugins also can change in live whilst you are trying things in dev.
In essence you should treat dev as just that – ie not a copy of live, but an environment to check site functionality and look.
There is also a danger if you work in dev and add links and images, these will be the url of the dev site, so when the pages are migrated across all will look ok on the front end, but actually you will be using data/images from dev.
So plugin and theme updates should be tried in dev first, and then repeated in live rather than migrating.
For pages and posts, copy/paste is very easy to use – much of the time you will only be changing one or 2 pages.
If you are using the standard blocks, then switching to the code editor (the 3 vertical dots top right of a page or post edit and then look for the ‘code editor’ choice) make copying/pasting pages and posts super easy.
Yes it is a bit more of a pain, but as you site develops you’ll be glad you learned the techniques
if it is, you can test by deactivating style pack
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
can you just confirm this is on the form that they complete not the topic display – yes?
I’ve added that capability to my style lack plugin, so add this to your site
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form
and you will see options for this in items 19,20 & 21
no sorry that would not work, as the user can just delete the labels etc. and a placeholder would be too easily overwritten
dashboard>settings>forums>replies per page
or are you saying that this does not work?
That’s great to hear, it is a useful addition to my plugin, so thanks for making me think about how to do it.
This requires you to be able to FTP – do you know how to do this?
So if you are already using my style pack plugin, the new version 6.0.3 contains a new tab for ‘Topic Form Additional Fields’
If you haven’t then install
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic Form Additional Fields
and you’ll see how to set up and style additional fields.
The plugin has lots more useful features as well
Thanks for reporting back that it does 🙂
ok, I don’t have access to the astra pro plugin, so hard for me to replicate.
If you are happy that you are fixed, I’ll leave it there.
I’m in testing phase, but will need one more day.
It will go as a solution in the next update of my style pack plugin, which I’ll release as soon as I’ve done.
ok, thanks, let me have a think
if it is use ftp to take out the code snippets plugin
so was that on plugin activation?
as a quick test, can you try
install https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/
and add this code
function rew_astra_bbpress_fix ($value) {
if (bbp_is_single_user()) return false ;
if (bbp_is_search()) return false ;
if (bbp_is_topic_tag()) return false ;
if (bbp_is_single_view()) return false ;
return $value ;
}
add_filter ('astra_single_layout_one_banner_visibility', 'rew_astra_bbpress_fix', 50) ;
and
are you using a child theme?
do you have/know how to use FTP?
ok, so I have just taken a look.
The Astra issue I was thinking about was slightly different, and was fixed a while ago by Astra.
Is your site public, and can the above page been seen, as Then I can understand the problem better
I suspect that I have not coded for Stra pro as well as the free astra – I’ll take a look later today
