If you set the forums to ‘private’ then this is what you will get, or have I misunderstood?
hmmm… sorry I don’t use buddypress, so have no experience in how it handles categories vs. forums.
only keymasters can add other keymasters, so easiest is to get one of your designers to make you a keymaster
that’s great – do come back if you need further help 🙂
great – thanks for posting your experience. Partial forum transfers are always difficult as there is lots of meta-data like counts and latest items that need to be correct at the end
yes, bbpress works with 5.7.x
there is an action hook on the forums index so
add_action ('bbp_template_before_forums_index' , 'test_bbpress');
shoul dwork
I would use the dashboard>topics to bulk delete either prior to export or post import – if I were actually doing this, I would create a copy of the live site, take out the topics I didn’t want, and then export to the new beta, so that live remained complete with no risks.
and then I’d then run the tools>forums>repair to just do a tidy up, although probably not needed
do you see topics and replies in the dashboard
If so are you a keymaster – see dashboard>users and list users, you will see what bbpress roles everyone has. Only Keymasters get forums in the dashboard
so can you post the exact code you tried, and say where you put it
ok, try this
add_filter ('bbp_get_time_since' , 'rew_time_since_translate' ) ;
function rew_time_since_translate ($output) {
$output = preg_replace('/years/', 'new word', $output);
$output = preg_replace('/year/', 'new word', $output);
$output = preg_replace('/days/', 'new word', $output);
$output = preg_replace('/day/', 'new word', $output);
return $output ;
}
so change ‘new word’ in each case for what you want to show
you can add as many lines as you need, but always do the plural first so ‘years’ followed by ‘year’
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
ok, thanks that is useful feedback re the troubleshooting tool, so thanks for letting me know.
So yes I would suggest it was a plugin activation/load order issue.
glad you are fixed 🙂
In bbpress 2.6.x the date freshness format has changed.
If your translation has not been updated this will still display in English.
install
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Freshness Display
and you will be able to enter translations there
ok, so you are not seeing topic, replies and forums in the dashboard with just bbpress active and a default theme such as twenty twenty – yes ?
ok, can you see what bbpress level you are
dashboard>users>and select yourself – you should show as ‘keymaster’ to see the dashboard items
bbpress just uses wordpress.
I’d suggest 2 things
1. test using an email tester eg
WP Test Email
2. get details of your SMTP email configuration form your host and use
WP Mail SMTP by WPForms
great – glad you are fixed 🙂
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
make your top level a ‘category’ and the forums members of that category.
then no one can post in the category, but can in a forum that is a sub-forum to that category
bbpress just uses wordpress login, so anything that works for wordpress will also work for bbpress
I’m not a bbpress author, but many find the widget useful
what plugin are you using to get the ‘upvotes’ ?
bbpress just uses wordpress registration and login, so anything that works for wordpress registration will be fine.
can you confirm this is the same on multiple devices and multiple browsers?
