then go into the user profile, and you can list their topics and replies and delete each.
I don’t think there is an easy way to bulk do that
in Dashboard>users>edit user – change their role to blocked
ok, no idea what you have done to amend this, so hard to help – perhaps you can state whether this is just css chnages or templates/php have also been amended?
the bulleted ‘0 0 no topics ‘ should be under the headings above. Just hiding ‘no topics’ is not going to fix anything.
great – glad you are fixed
I’m presuming this is also fixed
great – glad you are fixed
ok, cab I just ask what you mean by ‘ I created a loop-topic-list with a layout that is quite different to the other forums. ‘
Is this code, and if so what files have you amended or what have you done so far to achieve this?
If not code, can you explain further
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
item 6 describes what you want to know, but in essence just set the forums to ‘private’
If you need a more complicated setup, then use
Private groups
For users, if you are setting up manually, then you just need to create them in wordpress (bbpress just uses wordpress users and login), just make sure you’ve turned off auto registration in
dashboard>settings>general>membership is unticked
and that in
dashboard>settings>forums>Roles is ticked and users assigned the participant role
Link to an example on your site please
ok, my initial suggestion would be to deactivate bbpress and see if that fixes.
After that I do the usual troubleshooting :
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
you would create a page and use a shortcode block to add thw following shortcode
[bbp-topic-form] – which displays the ‘New Topic’ form where you can choose from a drop down menu the forum that this topic is to be associated with.
then on you home page, insert a ‘button’ block which links to this page
great – thanks for posting your solution 🙂
not really a bbpress question, this relates to the transfer of your whole site, and you may need to google round on this, but essentially it is entirely possible
if you want to migrate from one host to another, ad may want to do this more than once, then it would pay to learn how to migrate the site eg
https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-move-wordpress-to-a-new-host-or-server-with-no-downtime/
no problem, but give me a day or so
I’m not sure how technical you are, but you can get your theme to hold a bbpress template which you can modify eg if you want to amend loop-single-reply.php you would find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php
transfer this to your pc and edit
and save
create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
groups are a buddypress bit – better to post in their support forum
https://buddypress.org/support/
bbPress User Roles and Capabilities
relevant ones are:
publish_topics
edit_topics
publish_replies
edit_replies
Sarcasm is useful to make a point, or no-one would use it 🙂
I have no problem is people using different products, and would not champion Wordspress or bbpress above other products – it exists for those who find it useful, no more no less.
If you can point @highrollerusa at how he installs Laverel + as forum software with email posting, I’m sure he’d be very grateful.
well you could learn php, some javascript and a little css, work through the security issues of letting users post via email (not sure how you do that), create a receiving handler, and then after many hundreds of hours release the code for free and then support it whilst people bitch about how stupid your plugin is….
it’s been over 100 years since the car was invented, but driverless cars are still not here either 🙂
